 Considerable discussion was aroused as to whether the Baldwin balloon as cension should take place in Douglas or Agua Prieta. c. F. Nichols. in be- half of the Douglas Improvement com pany, stated that the contract between that company and Baldwin distinctly called for six exhibitions, two daily, to be given in Douglas, Arizona. This settled any doubt as to where this attraction will take place. In the course of his talk Mir. Nichols stated that on account of the doubt expressed being heard for any great distance, he had written Mir. Baldwin asking for the truth of this matter. MT. Bald win replied: You may state to the people of Douglas and vicinity that my bombardment can positively be heard for thirty-fve miles, if it does not, don't want a cent for my exhi- bition."
