YESTERDAY

lC ANAANANOAA1 SAFOAA VNOIy
alternate Wednesday at noon, of the
Young Business Mems Association
of Nogales, was very interesting
yesterday. The greatly increased
membership is crowding the space,
and the Nogales Cafe will have to
prepare more table room. The
table space set apart yesterday was
crowded to capacity.
The new president of the Associa-
ton, Mr.. j. C. Barnes who had been
absent since election, presided, and
the gentleman conducted the pro-
ceedings felicitously and pleasingly.
After discussion of the viands, over
cigars and coffee, number Of bust
ness matters were brought up and
discussed.
First Secretary Gil Rankin read a
list of the permanent committees.
Then the president called upon one
of the new members, Captain L. w.
Mix former mayor, to address the
assemblage. In the course of his re-
marks Captain Mix stated that he
had been accused of having had a
hand in removal of the post office
over to the proposed new site on Mel
son Avenue. To the imputation the
captain demufred. He suggested
that when the post office goes over
there the city should condemn that
part of the lager property on Morley
Avenue, next to the Mcntezucia
Hotel, where the King Restaurant
and Dunbar real estate office are
now, and open street through from
Morley to Nelson Avenue, near the
post office site.
While dealing with the subject Of
Captain Mix called at
tention to the fact that old maps of |
the city show an alley about nine
feet wideJ between the Proto Store
and Mather's jewelry store, extend
ing through from Morley to Nelson |
Avenue, possession of which has been
taken by private parties and built
upon, closing without warrant or al.
thority a public thoroughfare. Cap
tain Mix called attention also to
another alley up the Crawford Street |
lill where something of the kind had
Mayor George H. Fielder was next |
called, and that gentleman took up
the allegation of Captain Mix that
there were alleys that had been closed
lie and stated that the he had
thoroughfares belonging to the pub
never heard of them before; and he
assured his hearers that if such is
the case the City will have them re-
stored to public use, if there is any
law to do it.
Mr.. J. B. Brown, visitor with land
holdings on the Santa Cruz, a prac-
tical farmer, was called next. The
gentleman spoke from the farmers
standpoint. Suggested that the Coun,
ty Fair be held at Nogales instead
of Sonoita.
Mr.. E. R. Purdum, a member of
the County Fair directors was called
next. The gentleman said the fair
had been organized by farmers in
that part of the county, to get start
ed an institution needed by all farm
ing communities. The neighbors had
wrought hard, with some small de-
gree of success. The enterprise is
corporation, with a large part of it's
shares held in Nogales. The No
gales shareholders can elect a board
of directors who will remove it; and
Mr.. Purdum said that an election of
a new board of directors had been
deferred with something of that ma
ture in view. He said that there is
a deal OF work IN conducting such an
enterprise; but he thought the Young
Business Mems Association had the
material to do it.
Mr.. Purdum complimented Mr.. w.
E, Karns on the work done at the
Fair in October last to present a
good exhibit for Karns Brothers.
DR.. M. A. Wuerschmidt, chairman
of the Membership Committee, was
