ventiOn to order. Mr. Martin stated
the purpose of the meeting and an
nounced that Attorney Frank B. Feet
nam OF Grand Forks would make
brief address of welcome. The an
nouncement was greeted with no in
considerable amount of applause. Mr..
Feetham began with the quotation of
a well-known humorist-"Man that is
born of woman is mighty small pota-
toes. We are all small potatoes and
few in hill" The speaker followed
this line of talk to point where he
was able to demonstrate that while we
may be small potatoes, we have the
power to become large ones and make
ourselves felt He believed that the
formation Of an organization for mu-
tual protection, such as that which he
understood the mechanics were con-

to be productive of good results. Mr..

Feetham recalled that in the early and
middle and in fact, in all ages. the
man who wrought in iron and brass
was considered the peer of the crafts
men. He was the man that made the
spears and swords that were to win
or lose battles. In closing his adj
dress Mr. Feetham stated that on be-
half of the city of Grand Forks, the
mayor, who was unav0idably absent,
and the city council, he most heartily
welcomed the visiting mechanics 70
Grand Forks and assured them that
while here the city was theirs. Great
applause greeted the closing remarks.

AN ANCIENT MARRIAGE
 IN THIS TERRITORY

George Kirkland, clerk of the pro- bate court, yesterday received an in quiry about a matter which undoubt- edIy goes back beyond the recollec- tion of the oldest white resident of the territory. The inquirer is John Kiely, of Philadelphia, who says that his grand uncle, John Hughes. was married in this territory in 1847 to Margaret Beere. He knows that to be fact, but it Is necessary that he should have documentary proof of it.
 John Hughes left a son and an es- tate. His son is now dead, and MT. Kiely is next in line of succession. He does not state why it is necessary for him to be able to show the fact of this marriage. There is naturally nothing in the records of this county relating to the affair, for there was no county government here then. Nor was there a county government any. where in the territory, nor was there territory.
 The only place where Kiely might have been regularly married at that time was Tucson, and in case of his marriage there it is barely possible that some allusion to it might be found i1 the church records. There were few, if any, Americans even at Tue son sixty years ago, and it will be surprising if it can be shown that there was an American woman there then.-RepubIican

VISITOR HERE
MAN WHO HELPED HUSTLE THE MONEY FOR DOUGLAS Y. N.
 C. 4. BUILDING.

Douglas, Ariz., April (Speciall-
 c. G. Titus, general secretary of the Young Mems Christian Association at Fl Paso. and field secretary for Tex as, Arizona and New Mexico, is spend ing several days in Douglas.
 Mir. Titus was secretary of the local Y. NJ. c. A. building campaign and scores of old friends will renew his acquaintance with pleasure while he is here.
 With a new building for Fl Paso in hand. MT. Titus is at present very busy man. For some time the Pass City building has been in contempla- ton, but the fact that the site re- mained in abeyance hindered progress. Now, however, a site has been chosen, once for all. and the secretary is de- voting some thoughtful hours to focr space. Frost & Frost have the plans in hand, which bespeaks a building of as much utility and elegance as the funds to be expended will admit.
 Located at Oregon and Missouri streets, three blocks from the Sheldon and facing the Carnegie library. the new building will be an ornament to Fl Paso as well as a pleasure and a safeguard to the city's men. It will be a general association, inclusive of all branches and institutions. Prob ably the structure itself will cost s75,000.
 Wherever a Y. M. c. A. building campaign is conducted the business men are giving it support that is re- markable," MT. Titus said this morr- ing. At Kansas City, Missouri, a thirty-day campaign brought in pledges of S281 ,000. At Denver the men start ed a thirty-day campaign for S200,000 and got S235, 5,000: so they are now running it up to s250.000 for an eight story building. Our Fl Paso building will be three stories, and ground floor.

DOUGLAS Is PUFFED UP.
CAUSE OF REMARKABLE SUNDAY EXCURSION TO THE CITY
 OF 6iSBEE.

Douglas, Ariz., April 4.-(Special)-
 An excursion from Douglas to Bis bee on Sunday, April 23, is the happy event planned by the clerks of the Copper Queen store of Douglas.
 For some reason. probably that of natural vanity, there exists an impress sion among some of the clerks of the Copper Queen store at Bisbee that they can play baseball. This curious heresy is said to be shared by many friends of the unfortunate youths who are laboring under that peculiar hal Inclination.
 Therefore, as true altruists whose hearts yearn toward humanity whe-- ever it may be found in grievous CT TOT, it behooves the clerks of the Douglas store to proceed to Bisbee and correct the mistake by completely eradicating the false idea and. incl dentally, by totally annihilating the bum baseball team of the boastful youths of the Copper City's ambitious neighbor It will be cruel. but in the long run it is best to let Bisbee know the truth.
 Now, just as the chink of silver and of gold is a mighty moral persuasion in a Phoenix election, so is wholesome roofing a factor in a baseball game where a Douglas team figures. Which is why the Douglas boys are working for a most extraordinary rate to Bis bee that day.
 To make the round trip to Bisbee and have a ticket to the baseball game or, more properly speaking, to the slaughter scene of the Bisbee Queens. will cost only S1. Everybody can af- ford that much, and three-fourths of l Douglas should turn out and root like thunder while Douglas, with calm de | liberation, wipes Bisbee from the map. They are liable to get fresh up there at times and such things have to be done.

 Are you glad you are elected?"
 Why, of course I am. I appreciate the honor of being the first mayor elect of Douglas very much. What is more, am deeply grateful to my many friends for their cordial support which made my election possible. realize that Mir.

QUEEN HOTEL WILL OPEN
POPULAR HCsTELRY WILL AGAIN OPEN ITS DOORS TO VEL
 COME PUBLIC.
Agreement Reached in Douglas Yes terday Whereby the Former Furn- ishings Are to be Replaced in the Rooms at Onee.-No Lessee Vet.

The Queen hotel. closed last Novem- Der by litigation, will be opened to the public as soon as the Prevalent Mu- tual Building and Loan Association of Los Angeles can arrange with the right people to take it in hand.
 As the result of an agreement reached in Douglas yesterday, the furniture for the fifty-five rooms of the hotel is being replaced today.
 Since the hotel was shut down the furniture has been in storage in the Prather building on Sixteenth street. Each of the rooms is being furnished and the carpets are being laid as if for immediate habitation.
 This result was the direct outcome of the simultaneous arrival in Doug las of Mrs. G. H. French. of Bis bee, Ben Goodrich, of Tombstone. the attorney representing MT. and Mrs. French, and E. E. Ellinwood, of Bisbee. representing the building and loan people of Los Angeles.
 Hitherto Receiver Albert Stacy has not had charge of the furniture. but it is now the property of the building and loan company, along with the ho- tel, or is at least held by them in sur ety for a sum borrowed from them by Mir. and Mrs. French. On what terms they have now secured the furniture is not made known.
 No date has been set for the re- opening of the Queen, nor has a suit able lessee been found. Mir. and Mrs. French do not intend to take it again.
 Evidently the agitation in connec. tion with the big new Gadsdea had the wholesome effect of getting the Queen again in action.

DOUGLAS NOTES.

They Are All Japanesc.-Several days ago several bright little brown men from Japan tried to catch on at the local sme!ters. Their deficient English operated against them. Span ish they spoke fuently enough. Yes terday they had an unpleasant exper- fence with a Chinese inspector of Ma co, who had been informed that one Of the seven Japanese was a China- man. The inspector caught up with the party at Crook, near the tunnel. They were more indignant than fright ened, and if there was a Chiraman among them the inspector couldn't tell for the life of him which was which. He invited each brownie to remove his hat, whle the inspector cautiously examined each tuft of the straight black hair. There was noth- ing there to give him his cue and he allowed them to proceed.
