 HISTORY MAKING EVENT
CFrom Thursdays Daily.)

together:
 Al Peach's elbows.
 Whitey's black face.
 Prof. Martins furnished mus tachios.
 The expertness of the walters (who were chosen for their voices). Billy Glenn's modesty.
 By the time President E. s. Clark of the chamber of commerce was ready to pronounce the good nights, two hundred members, including delegations from all over the county and some of the lower parts of Ash Fork. were ready to go home and rub arnicy on their aching sides. Distendcd by a bountiful repast, the afore-referred to sides were halt split with mirth when the meeting broke up. Many words of wisdom and many clever and entertaining thoughts had been spoken in the course of an evening that will go down in the history of the institu ton as that upon which an old time spirit was revived, cen though in the interim, other spirits had been inferred.
 An opening chorus of black-faced gentlemen indicated the nature oi the program. Led by Captain of Walters Southworth, the dozen tray wranglers marched singing around the room, bearing on their backs numbers similar to those which are wont 10 be used to indicate the con- testants at a frontier day show.
 Reverent tribute was paid 10 the climate of Prescott by Major Rob ert H. Stanley, commanding Whip pie Barracks, the first speaker. He told the chamber of commerce that it needed no words from him to prove a self-evident fact-namely, that the climate here is the greatest untouched capital the community has. With great play Of southern eloquence. the major expatiated up on the benefits of the climate and logged in many man the realiza- ton of its importance.
 ! Suffrage-was the subject granted to MT. William E. Glenn, the John Wanamaker of Ash Fork. He dis- claimed any knowledge of or inter est in his middle subject. but as the chairman pointed out, proved that he felt l,eenly, upon it. Further than this. a report of his speech is inn possible. Cold type cannot convey the ecstasy with which his inspired words fell from his lips.
 The Jerome Prescott short-line road was the topic given to Robert E. Tallcy, assistant general manager of the United Verde, who headed a large delegation from the neighbor city. He spoke briefly but con- vincingly on the benefit of the road to the two communities and referred in passing 10 the production of cop per. The recent and growing de- mand for the metal among pro ducers of blanch mule, 1t seems, has not compensated for other lessened demand.
 A real talk on advertising was given by Howard Cornick, chairman of the advertising committee. He predicted movement that would soon result in a new effort to bring Prcscotts health-giving climate to the attention of the medical pro fession and through it to persons seeking climate.
 Ii remained for F. S. Viele to bring down what remained up of the house. He had been given a subject that was near his heart He spoke. as he claimed, seriously. Yet, just to show how unappreciative members of the order have become from long abstinence from banquets of this kind, great many of them laughed outright at what he said. This did not affect the speaker. He proved that he was able to take as well as give, thereby proving that he has been correctly placed in life as a public utilities man. To pre- sent his speech would be to violate ali the tenets of chamber of com- merce reporting. It is safe to say that not even on the formal minutes of the meeting will be found some portions of the address.
 The highest praise is due the get ters-up of the get-together. They lad found walters who simply would not strike. They secured Whites Fidgety Five from Jerome and laid out the sassiest jazz in the history Of the institution For the informa- ton of those members who have not become learned in late methods it is proper to point out that sev- eral of the tunes they played were music before. those jazzers got aholt oi them.
 Frequent offerings by the orchcs- tra and by the colored gents in the white aprons (including Chris Tot ten. who carried the smallest trays and made the greatest razz about it) were intcrspcrsed with magic at the nimble hands of Anderson of the post and. a bolero open-airo dance by an unknown wonder, also iron the post
