 This evening at the Y. N. c. A. building, which had its formal open ing today, beginning at 10 o'clock a. n, the gentlemen of this city will have the pleasure of meeting Profes7 sor James Douglas, the executive head of the Pheips-Dodge interests in Arizona, Sonora, New Mexico and Texas. They will also have the pleas ure Of listening to short address 10 be delivered by this, gentleman, who has accomplished more than any other one man in the development of the copper industry of Arisona, which aow promises in the near future to amount to more than that of any other state in the Union. The expan- sion of the great Copper Queen en- terprise at Bisbee brought the neces- sity for this now fourishing and rap idly growing city, and that it should bs naned for Professor James Doug las was iu accord with the fitness ot the circumstances which gave it Birth.
 The name of Douglas is synonym of progress and uprightness through out the southwest, and the former has been 6 distinguishing mark of
 this city since the day the first stakes were driven on the townsite.
 l As to the uprightness os Douglas there is no city to be found any
 where of equal age where this prin- ieip,e of life, has stronger following. Daring the five years of the life Of Il the city it had it's frontier and law less period, but at present it stands
 second 10 none in the West in good
 government and the strength of its
 moral sentiment.
 The completion of the Y. N. Q. A building, wherein Professor Douglas
 will talk to our people this evening
 was made possible by the hberalny of the companies Of which he is the directing head While this is true still the quick response of the c1u
 Zens of Douglas in subscribing near , iy twice the amount which they wers
 originally asked for, is evidence tna' those who have made their homes here are well inclined to join the , city's sponsor n any undertaking pro : posed for it's advancement along Enes z which promise higher character
 and better life.
 Il Professor Douglas is a busy man l | the great enterprises directed by hin f require every moment of his time q His former visits to this city have , been on business, and few of our peo | pie have had the opportuniey to mee hirn and form personal acquaintance I and his appearance here today WAL s in doubt until yesterday morning v when he gave the promise to the I M C. A. committee to meet and ad 2 dress the citizens of Douglas at re r ception this evening.
