Our treasurer, Dr. Geo. M Breckway, is in California in poor health, and has asked me to incorporate his report with mine.

It is my painful duty to report the death of two of our most esteemed members, Dr. J. Miller, the father and first president of our association, and Dr. J. S. Scarborough of Prescott, who though he was only with us at one meeting, we found in him many qualities we need and will miss in our association. We have 'S members and I have 27 new applications, making a total of 105, which is over 85 per cent of the available physicians in the state.

Many letters indicate the general awakening in the ranks, but we cannot expect all, or even one-half of our members at any meeting, because of the great distance they would have to travel, and the many days loss of time, but the spirit is good and many of the absent members are as earnest as those present.

Our finances are as follows:

Amount on hand at close of last meeting..
Amount received from members' entrance fees.

$100 00

.160 00

Phoenix, A. T., May 27, 1903. To the President and Members of the Arizona Medical Association:

Gentlemen: We, your committee on necrology, beg leave to report that with the passing year death has taken from our list of membership two prominent names to be added to our necrological records. The sadness of this duty should be tempered by the fact that these men are not really dead but still live, and live nobly in the influence they exert, and will ever continue to exert for the welfare of humanity, and we shall find not only consolation but a crown of the highest ambition in the truth of the proposition, that the individuality of such an influence can no more be lost in death than can the influence itself.

What nobler epitaph could be devised for the greatest who have ever lived than that their lives were devoted to the welfare of humanity?

Frederick Arnold Sweet, M. D., was born Feb, 10, 1863, and died at Bisbee, Arizona, April 15th, 1903, being his 41st year. He was graduated a doctor of medicine by the New York University Medical College in 1889, afterwards serving interneship in Bellevue hospital. He came to Bisbee, Arizona, as surgeon in chief of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company, with whose interests he was allied up to his death. His influence and ability was recognized not only as a physician but as a citizen and friend, by people in all walks of life.

Harlow J. Phelps, M. D., was born on February 4, 1874, in St. Louis, and died in Phoenix. December 24th, 1902, after a short illness and while in the active duties of the pursuit of his profession. He was a student of medicine in the Marion Simms Medical College, from which he graduated in 1899. He subsequently served as interne in the St. Louis City Hospital. In 1901 he came to Phoenix and his personality and professional ability rapidly made him a most enviable place in the hearts of his patients and in the esteem of all who knew him.

Your committee recommends that the above be published in the proceedings of this Association, and that the following resolutions be adopted. engrossed and sent to the respective families of our deceased members.
