TO ADVERTISE
 THE CITY
Chamber of Commerce Alp. points Committee to Call on Business Men to Secure
 Necessary Funds.

At the regular meeting of the Pres colt Chamber of Commerce last Thurs day night. motion prevailed that q committee be appointed to call on Prescott business men, to secure neces- sary funds to advertise Prescott dur ing the development of Nevada's oil fields
 The secretary explained prOposi- tion that had been offered the city whereby a representative would be sent here to cover all news happenings in the oil fields for 42 metropolitan papers. These items would appear under a Prescott date line, and would cover practically the entire United States in the circulation of these papers.
 The committee will start on it's rounds today, and should encounter no difficulty in securing the necessary funds. for the plan is the best that has been offered for putting Prescott's ad- vantages before the oil men of the country.
 Rev. J. A. Sage addressed the chamber. explaining the offer of the Drs. Buchanan to erect a hospital and donate 1t to the city, and the secre- tary was instructed to express the thanks of the Chamber of Commerce to the doctors for their very generous offer.
 The executive committee was in- structed to name member of the chamber to act on the hospital board of control with others selected by the different churches of the citT. Most churches of the city have already ap- pointed representatives on the board and the Chamber of Commerce will 1 be asked to name q second member.
 The secretary was instructed to send resolution to the Interstate Commerce Commission asking that the new tariff on certain commodities on which Prescott had heretofore been discriminated against should go into effect The new tariff would give Pres colt equal advantage with other Ar kansas points on certain groceries and l feedstuff.
 The chamber also went on record as favoring abolishing the luxury tax on jewelry.
