It is TO be h0ned that the farmers

crops. They can do this and then
raise all the cotton they can gathe
with the labor on their places. IT has
been thoroughly demonstrated that a
cotton cron of 9 000 900 bales is worth
more to the farmer than a crop of
I 600 600 bales. This being the case,
don't attempt to raise more cotton
than last year A decrease of 10 per
cent in the cotton acreage of .teffer-
son county will be a healthy indica-
tion of the prosperity of its farmers.

The plethoric gentleman was not at
 fault, but sleep comes high near the international line. The next night we
 got another layout. The landlord seemed 70 have a tender place in his
 heart for the bird called the bed bug. don't think he would harm one of those creatures if he had gallon Of hot water in one hand and a death warrant in the other. He did the best he could. All his time was taken up in collecting. Just the same, when daylight comes you are charmed with Douglas. Sixth street is the tender loin of Douglas. It is a warm piece of landscape and should not be over looked by visitors to Douglas. Such
 names as the Dew Drop" My Hon. ey" and he "Peacherino" are common among refreshment joints along this remarkable boulevard.
 Douglas will in a short time have a first class street car system. The car houses are in course of construction now. IL will at first be operated by steam engines and later on the old electric whizzer will send he little coaches across the suburbs of Doug las. In any event the motorman will not need a vestibule to protect him from the weather. for Douglas is in dear old Arizona where nature is kind and natures God seems to stOop and listen to the sad stories of unfortunate humanity By and by, Douglas win spread oil on the troubled dust, and the bicycle fiends will find his para disc il those sacred precincts.
 Douglas along with every commun- ity on earth has its people who are good and other people who are no; so good. but the good people seem ro be in he majority. Douglas has so many buildings in course of construction that a descrip- tion and individual mention is impos, sible.
 The water in Douglas is all right but it does not agree with a Bisbee man. He had better take enough along with him in a rubber sack to dc him if he is making a short visit. Our particular friend. F.. B. Dorr is on the bridge in the Dispatch office
 doing all kinds of prosperous business, while his better half stands at his eI- bow to see that he ''treks' in the : straight and narrow way.
 It is with pleasure that we mention
 the prosperity of Douglas. The pros perity of Douglas cannot detract from , the prosperity of Bisbee. On the con, trary every shot that is put in in Co. chise county, every shift and every ! drill bat il the district rebounds to he benefit of the whole district, to Cochise county and to the industrial world.

 Last summer when the dust was so deep you had to use snow shoes to get across the street at Douglas, and the little corkscrew winds filled the heavens with everything from war cry to a house and lot, Douglas did not look good to me. Now, everything is changed, the gracious rains of have descended; the dark sandy loam" has learned to keep it's place; ;he blue nebula from the Calumet smoke stack seeks the azure dome; street railways, water works, and ev- cry modern improvement in progress; big hearted, enterprising men to the front; everybody busy, everybody en- :erprising, everybody confident that is the way Douglas looks to your cores pondent.

We went 1yer and asked him what he was doing there He very nromDtly and very correctly informed us that he was sit ting there. Then he put up an inebri- ated cachination which inspired us with rare confidence in the outcome.

The next morning he was still there nestling in the arms of Nor pheus. The house was not at fault.

Vice President Burchard of the copper company is in La Cananea. and is :aking an active part in the management of the property. Mir Bur chard is not only a keen witted man of affairs but has the rare quality of making friends of all the employees he encounters.
 The hose teams recently organ ized for the Cananea fire service are the cause of much speculation on the part of this community. Acting Gen. eral Manager Harry Mitchell of the smelter is foreman of the sms-:er team and head electrician. Roxy" WyncoOp is the skipper of the o-her gang of hose jerkers. Roxy" opines that his cots are the swiftest comets in this galaxy of iue dust, but Harry is willing to wager money, marbles or soap that his outlaws can make the mechanics look like sack race The clerks team, of which Mr. Brownie will be the foreman, have not practiced yet.
