VARIED LABOR5 IF CHAMBER IF
 COMMERCE; THE NEW DIRECTORS

The Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce will go into next year with its face to the future and with a set of leaders tried and true, Last nights annual meeting, marked by the submission of. as comprehensive a set of reports as could possibly be desired, was terminated with the election of the new and enlarged board of directors whose job it will be to meet the ever-increasing prob lens of the expanding county.
 Enough reports were submitted to keep the new officers busy for the whole year acting on the suggestions and bringing about the larger achievements aimed at by the outgo- ing administration at the time it had spent a full year on duty.
 The record of President Heap, Secretary Grace Sparkes and the de- partment heads is regarded from last nights meeting as of sterling worth, and an index of the gratitude of the chamber of commerce is seen in the fact that the vote for new directors, spread over 40 nominees to 16 of fees was unanimous for Mir. Heap.
 Miss Sparkes' report was brief but covered every detail of the work. It stands as a. monument to the labor the office has had to perform during the past week, and testifies also to the excellent services of MT. Jett, the assistant secretary.
 This and other reports will be dis cussed and in some measure, pre- sented to the readers of Prescott papers from time to time during the coming week. The selection of the representatives of outside towns on the board of directors was as fol- lows:
 Jerome-R. E. Tally, Walter Mil Ter, J. S. Douglas, H. Dewitt Smith.
 Clarkdale - R. K. Duffy, Grant Dunlap.
 Clemenceau-J. N. Foster.
 Humboldt-G. NJ. Colvocoresses.

POTLATCH WORKING OUT
PLANS FOR CREAMERY

The local people interested in the
much talked of creamery project for
Potlatch held a meeting Saturday at
the Potlatch Opera House, presided
over by Mr.. w. A. Fiscus.
Mr.McNee, chairman of committee
appointed to make a study Of local
conditions, resigned, as his work in
the Rock Creek schools would not
permit of his giving the necessary
time to the creamery problems. Mr..
Fiscus was appointed to fill the va
cancy.
The data which has been gathered
in this locality will be compiled and
the committee is to ascertain the ap-
proximate cost of an appropriate
building, modern machinery and in
stal1ation, on which they expect to
report at a meeting to be held on Feb
ruary 18th, after which subscription
will be solicited. There was poll Of
the meeting taken as to the par value
of the stock and, while it was not at
all binding, the sentiment seemed to
favor a par value of $25 90 rather than
$1,000 as advocated by some OF those
present.
Professor Bendixon Of the Univer-
sity of Idaho made a talk in which he
gave some figures as to the capacity
of equipment and requirement for
operation. There was some discus
sion about installing an artificial ice
plant, but no definite action was takeu
on it.

plunged into a weird narrative of
death threats, blackmail and other

with Chinese characters in purple ink,
informing the recipient that. because
of his failure to give up sundry thous-
ands of dollars as directed in a pre-
vious note similarity signed, he was
to be murdered at midnight that
night.

chen sighed resignedly as he saw that

III" LOAN FUND
TOTALS $lO,35O
EXECUTIVE SECRETARY PAR
SONS ANNOUNCES AMOUNT
LOANED TO IDAHO STUDENTS.

Students loan funds at the Univer-
sity of Idaho now total $10,350 and
virtually all of this amount is now
loaned out to students, according to
announcement by L. F. Parsons, ex-
ecutive secretary of the university.
The various divisions are the fund
of the Federated Woman's clubs of
Idaho, amounting to $4,000 Vernon
Porter Fawcett Memorial Fund,
$1,000; Moscow Rotary club, $100;
Moscow Chamber of Commerce, $1O0;
Kellogg Chamber of Commerce, $100;
Wallace Chamber of Commerce, $50.
Several other civic organizations
throughout the state have displayed
considerable interest in the student
loan idea and are contemplating max
ing donations" said Mr.. Parsons.
"The present condition at the univer-
sity is such that the fund is insult
ficient although the greatest results
are being gained from the money
available"
Virtually all loans are made with
certain provisions most of which are
to insure the ultimate return OF the
money. Upper classmen are always
given the preference and a senior is
never permitted to drop from school
because of shortage of funds.
"The student loan fund" said Presi-
dent A. H. Upham, "privides a Won
derful way for people to help stu
dents gain an education. Fifty dol
lars placed in this fund is virtually
everlasting. Often this sum is suffi-
cient to permit a student to COM
plete a college career, and when it is
returned it will fulfill the same SER
vice to another. The results being ac-
complished with the present fund are

ly distressed by the death warning.
He invited Fitzhugh to accompany
him to his club, there to remain until
the supposed danger hour had passed.
Suspense and uneasiness developed
as the midnight hour drew near, but
with its passing came sense OF
sheepishness and relief. Nothing had
happened, but neither knew that their
watches had been set an hour ahead.
The men parted at the door of the
club and went their separate ways.
But not for far. The crash of q gun
shot sent Staunton hurrying back to
find that Fitzhugh had been killed and
his body spirited away by the murder
ers. Next day Staunton himself re-
ceived one of the murder warnings.
