Tombstone to
 Be Congratulated

The coming of Florence Gear to Schieffein Hall in "The Marriage of Kitty" marks a red letter day in the annals of dramatic history in Tomb stone, for while the play was present. ed here last year by an excellent cast, it appears that the cast this year, an entirely new one, aud it's complete capture of the critics of every paper In Los Angeles but goes to show that ,ur prediction as to the treat in store for our local patrons at the Schief- felln next Thursday is a genuine one. Tombstone has not had a good one night show this season, and it wont again this season have as meritorious a production as will be "The Marriage of Kitty" and for the credit of the town in the theatrical standing in the east we should accord Miss Gear a large house. for it should be remem- bered that the management of Miss Gear controls the following plays in addition to Miss Gear, Creston Clarke, Madam Mojeska, Sylvia Lyndon, Paul Gilmore and w. A. Whitecar. A warm reception to Miss Gear means one or more of those stars for Tomb stone next year.

The Tucson Citizen says that con. tract has been closed by the Consoli- dated Telegraph, Telephone < Elec- tic company with Cochise county parties for a telephone line to be TUT from Benson to Wilcox and Bowie.
 The line will be owned by the Co., chise county people but the Consoli- dated Telegraph, Telephone < Ele; tric company will have an arrange ment by which it will use the line.
 It is learned also that on the com. pletion of the extensions from Benson that the line of the Consolidated com pany in the Gila valley will be ex- tended to connect with tho new line at Bowie.
 Work is going ahead rapidly on the Tucson-Benson line and the builders are now at Pantano. General Man ager Hinchcliffe is quoted as saying that the Benson line would probably be completed before end of this year. The completion of this line will make it possible to telephone from Tomb stone to Tucson.

Christmas was probably first celebrated on the Ameri- can continent in Arizona and New Mexico by the Spaniards who led the way into the great Southwest. In 1926 it is be- lieved that these early explor- CTS were here to remember the joyous Yuletide. Forty years after the discovery of America by Columbus, Europeans had penetrated into what is now known as Arizona, for the Spaniards had found the val ley of the Gila, and thought it good As early as 1926 Don Jose de Vasconcelios crossed the center Oi Arizona toward the Grand Canyon. and the country was subse- quently visited by other Span ish explorers. These early Spaniards have mute wit nesses to their occupation in the ruins of houses and forti- tications found in Arizona. They set uptheir peculiar civ ilization, tempered by conces- sions to the natives, and brought their priests from Spain. Here the cross was early raised, and the Christ mas mass was said in the pres ence of the wondering..nat
