 That Prescott is losing thousands of dollars which would naturally come to this section of Arizona, were the natural resources and advantages of this locality taken into considera- ton, was the meat of a stirring talk made by Major w. w. Midgley at the luncheon club of the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce, held yesterday noon at the Owl. He cited the case of California, pure booster business, adding that he was for booster every time, regardless of whether or not he had collateral back of him.
 Tt is a common thing for the bus mess men of Prescott to curse the board of supervisors time and again for the condition of the county roads, when in nine cases out of ten the roads of the county are 50 per cent better than the streets of your city What IS true of your streets is true of your hotels and that is not a com, plaint against those at present who must operate their hotels with what they have. Come into a hotel in Prescott and you'll find it filled What made Riverside, California, but the Hotel Glenwood? What made Pas adena and Los Angeles? Their hotels d boosters. The tourist crop in California exceeds in dollars and cents the citrus industry. It takes money to make business and it takes -eoole to make money. Take your chamber of commerce out into the county, help the other towns or C7nize and keep the workers under tNe supervision of your own paid 7ec-etary. Help every part of the o~~tv with their problems and vatch the support which your or ganization will receive. If you cant 70 any better, make Prescott tent city for at least the summer months Prescott easily can be made the Cat alina of the west, the place that peo- pie desire to go to. Put in amuse- ments, swimming pools, decent danc- ing pavilions, capitalize the resources at your door and watch your city grow"
 
 LeRoy Anderson, chairman of the hotel committee of the chamber of commerce, stated that every word which Midgley had said was well ',nown 10 the citizens of this com munity, particularly the need for a | hotel, but 1t takes one not living next | door to you to bring it home with l more force. The hotel committee 1 wants the assistance of every busi- ness man in this town with reference 10 the site for a hotel Plans have been drawn for a 200 room hotel i which will be a combination of 9 | tourist and commercial hotel Those | having sites are requested not only | 70 bring them to the attention Of -'-e committee. but are requested tC | 70 suitable price upon the same This committee will not stand for big jump in price because it is krow-7 hat they are out in earnest to gei hotel built in Prescott. The com n'ttee besides Anderson has Jonas md Gale as its members. Anderso~ stated that the line for amusements had been well laid by the formation Ol tue OOuuLl NiuD dllu LnG COnSTuC-I ton of the golf links. Other things naturally must come. The co-opera- ton of the entire community is asked by the hotel committee. With re- spect to the Country club Anderson stated that there were some who went into 1t not only from Prescott but from the country and others who could well afford to have assisted in this movement preferred to stay out.
