Mr. Seagraves said that so far, thc Santa Fe colonization office had given scant attention to Yavapai county, for the obvious reason that agricultural development had not yet progressed to a proper stage here.

Membership in the organization is to be composed entirely of taxpayers, who shall pay as annual dues, lc on each $1 of taxation. Mayor Timerhoff, Judge Moore and others favored the plan. Trustees will be named later. Mr. Sheffield stated that he had taken over the management of the Prcscott Raseball Club; that there is a deficit now of $16923; that score card advertising subscribed to date promises to cut down this deficit to about $30 and that thc moral support of thc Chamber and attendance at thc games by members will pull thc club out of thc hole.
