patcher for the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road at Parkersburg, w. Va, and after
successive promotions was appointed su-
perintendent of the western division of
the road. which at that time extended
from Cumberland, Md, to the Ohio river
HIS Headquarters were at Grafton, W. Va
He remained in this position until about
ten years ago, when he was appointed
terminal agent in this city.
Mr. Legge was in charge. as stated. of
all the terminal facilities of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad in this city at the time
OF his death. Shortly after entering the
service Of the railroad Mr.. Legge was
married to Miss Dora Bantz of Frederick
Md, who died over twenty years ago
Four children were born of this marriage
They are Mrs. Mamie Schrock of Aurora
W. Va; Harry Davis Legge of West Vir-
gtnia; Mr.. Francis w. Legge, who is en-
ployed in the Department of Agriculture
and Clement w. Legge Of the quartermas-
ter generals Office in the War Depart
ment.

cemetery.
Held in High Esteem.
The deceased was held in high esteem
by the local officials of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, and today in the different
offices of the company in this city there
were many expressions of regret when his
death was announced. About twenty-five
years ago Mr.. Legge became affiliated
with the Masonic fraternity in West Vir-
ginia, but in recent years, on account of
the many cares of his position and later
his illness, had been unable to keep up
his lodge relations Among the higher
officials of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road he was very favorably known, and
when the new Union station was occu-
pied they thought OF no other man for
the position to be in charge of all the ter
minal properties of the Baltimore and
Ohio in the Capital city.

Grand Lodge, which opens today. In
this case they viii join the Bisbee
delegation, who will be on the same
train, and probably a number of other
delegations, for the Morenci lodge has
arranged an elaborate program of en-
tertainment and has been striving to
secure as large a turnout as possible.
The occasion is the annual meeting
OF the Grand Lodges of the Masonic
and Eastern Star orders.
"One of the novel featers of the COM
ing convention will be the unique lodge
room which has been fitted up for the
occasion" SAYS the Morenci Leader.
The Lone Star stope, hundreds of feet
below the surface Of the earth, has
been transformed into perhaps the
most brilliant, unique and spectacular
convention hall ever conceived in the
country. This underground room is
about 40xS0 feet with height of from
80 to 40 feet. A floor has been laid in
the stope and innumerable electric
lights have been artistically placed
with which to illuminate it. Adioin-
ing this large stope is a smaller one
which has been comfortably fitted up
for an anteroom. The long tunnel,
leading from the outside world to the
chamber of mysteries in the bowels of
the earth. will also he extensively e.

the footsteps of the unwary visitors.

DOUGLAS Y. NJ. c. A. NOTES.

The ACCESSIBILITY of a regularly con
Quoted night school fOr instruction in
the common branches will probably be
one Of the chief items up for discussion
at the next meeting Of the Y. NJ. c. A.
educational committee next Friday
evening. It was suggested and awak-
ened considerable interest at the meet
ing of the committee last evening
when they convened for a short ses-
sion just before organizing the classes
in Spanish.
Owing to the combination of bad
weather and the attraction at the Or
pheum last evening. the attendance at
both the meeting of the education COM
mittee and those who have enrolled in
the class in Spanish, was unusually
small. The two or three members of
the committee present held e short
meeting in the office, but no official
business was transacted, and they re
paired to the study hall upstairs where
the class in Spanish was meeting.
Chairman Haskell and Mr.. DOwell, of
the educational committee. spoke to
the men, outlining the nature Of the
work the committee had taken up, the
plan they had in mind for carrying it
on. and what they hoped to acorn
plish. The adoption Of the "Cortinez'
textbook in Spanish was Jne only &C
ton taken Of a business nature and
the class adjourned to meet next Fri
day night The newly adopted text
books will be ordered at once and
should they not be received in time for
the first meeting of the class the teach
er Will carry on the wOrK without
them.
The plan of a night school in the
common branches, outlined by Mr..
DOwell last evening, has for its object
the reaching of a different class than
are interested in the study of Mining
Mechanical Drafting, Civil Engineering,
Shorthand and the like studies. II
would reach a class VINO had neglected
or never had the opportunity of a com
mon school education. 1t would offer
instruction in such studies as Writing
Spelling, Grammar, Arithmetic and
Geography, and It was thought by Mr.
DOwell that there is to be found a
greater number even that SUCH a course
would attract than the course now be-
ing started, or at least as many, and
he believed it not only feasible but
practical. At the meeting next Fri
day the matter will come up again, and
it is probable that some action will be
taken.
Those in charge of the work now be
ing carried on are jubilant over the
amount of interest and enthusiasm it
mas awakened and feel greatly encour-
aged at the prospects for the success of
the work. The next class to be organ
lied will be that in Mechanical Draw
ing. whose first meeting is scheduled
for Thursday evening. It is thought
that the enrolment in this class will
be unusually large.-Dougias Interna-

BUSINESS MEN SPOKE.

The special service in the Presbyter-
ian church Sunday evening was well
attended, a large proportion of the au-
dience consisting Of young men. Mr..
A. c. Lockwood spoke of the fine work
that has already been done by the local
Y. NJ C A. and urged the men OF
Douglas to take advantage of its priv
leges He expressed the opinion that
the membership ought to reach 1000
a an early date. Mr.. P. lie NOir, as
sistalt secretary of the Y. NJ. c. A,
gave a clear, concise outline of the
world wide work that is now being
carried on in behalf of young men.
Mr.. L. r. Chamberlain gave a telling
address on the topic Christ in the Life
of Men" He made very clear the
closeness of Jesus contact with the
work and needs Of the men of His day.
These addresses were much appreciat-
ed by the congregation.-DOu Dis

MORE WATER FOR STOCK.

According to adyices recently re
Gently received by Supervisor McGlone,
of the local Office of the u. S. Forestry
Service, the government is contemplate
ing the work of securing adequate
water supply for the grazing stock in
the big TumacacOTi National forest on
the southern border of Arizona, west
Of Douglas.
1t seems that in its investigation for
the improvement o. grazing lands with.
in the national forests, carried on dur
ing the past year, the service has found
that the ranges on some of the forests
can not be fully utilized owing 20 the
lack OF proper water supply. Such was
evidently found to be the case in the
Arizona forests, for elaborate plans
have been made for lettering these
conditions as rapidly as possible.
The plan adopted by the government
for securing the additional water sup
ply involves the cleaning out and the
protecting of all the springs and water
ing places on the grounds, having any
considerable capacity, and then the
piping of this water to large troughs
scattered in suitable places about the
range.
It is thought that the clearing and
protecting of these springs will insure
an adequate water supply for stock ali
the year All so be of an inestimable
value to the Arizona stOckmen having
cattle on the ranges in the forests. The
work will be taken up at as early a
date as possible and it is hoped that
before the coming of another grazing
season these ranges will be improved
very aterially.-DOuglas Information

SNOW ON MOUNTAINS.

Douglas residents who live in good
views of the big high peaks in the
Chiricahua ridge were given a chill
this morning when they first went out
of doors and took a look around.
Nearly the whole length of the ridge
was covered with a bitterly cold look
ing snow. The white blanket extended
quite ways down the sides for the
first snow of the season, far enough to
be an unmistakable sign that dread
winter is upon us.
II wasn't cheerful sight, especially
looking at it through the downpour OF
rain which at the same time was
chilling and drenching the valley. It
evidently didn't look cheerful to the

RusE WALTERS STATEMENT.

According to a statement by RUDE
Walters, who has just returned from
Bisbee. a bunch of old Tucson tour
nament players, are being organized
under Yone and may soon be headed
for Douglas. There is nothing posi-
lively certain about these arrange
ments, however, he said. Some Of the
players are leaving for the east and
some are going to the coast.
What his friends in Douglas were

OF certain charges made after the Phoe-
nix-Bisbee game of last week. The
following is his story of the incident
over which the charges arose.
The play came up in the ninth in
hing. A Phoenix player got a hit and
Edmonds, WHO was a base runner,
tried to come home on it. Instead Of
sliding, as he should have done, he
ran straight into the plate where Cheek
met him with the ball, which had in
the meantime been fielded. Cheek
caught him by at least eighteen inches.
