PLANS COMPLETED
 FOR 4 NEW BUILDING
Is to Be Home of nThe Dime" Show to Start lip In
 Douglas,

DOUGLAS, Feb, 6.-(Special.)
 Architect J. A. Holden has coIn- pleted the plans for the new building to be erected by J. E. Suits on Tenth street, across the alley from the Bank of Douglas building. which is to be the home of The Dime" show. which has been housed in the Pirtle- Riordau building on c avenue since the 18th day of October. It was re- ported today that Mir. Suits had con tracted for the building. but it was not learned who would put it up. The Dime" Is owned by W. W. Webb, who arrived in Douglas last Septemb Der, and after two weeks in the opera house moved the show to it's present quarters.
 The new room will be 90 by 90 feet and will front on Tenth street. The auditorium will be 50 by 50 feet and there will be an entrance lobby ten feet deep and the entire width of the building. The stage will cover 20 by 50 feet in the rear of the build ing and will have an opening of 13 by 2G feet
 The floor will have an incline of four feet in the length of the audi torium.
 Mir. Webb has taken a lease on this building for two years and is anx. ious to get into 1t as soon as possible as his present room is entirely too small to accommodate the crowds which nightly come to his show, not. wfthstanding the fact that he gives two exhibitions each evening. It Is likely that after he gets into the new theatre he will arrange to have vaud. eville attractions quite frequently.

MESA WILL BE NEW
 JUNCTION POINT
Southern Pacific Has Agreed to EestabliSh One In the
 Near Future,

DOUGLAS. Feb. 6.-(SpecialD ..
 Parties in the city interested in the Hacienda Mababi property. known as Lot No. f." in clading Treasurer Boothroyd, bring the news that this company has negotiated with the Cananea, Rio YaQui y Pacifico for a junction at a point on that line known as Mesa, about half way from Naco to Cananea. and obtained traffic un- derstanding.
 The s. P. people offered 10 put his branch into the Ajos on fair terms, but he declined and will immediately proceed to build in to the heart of the jos himself, when he can move his mills around and carry them to the desired point with the utmost con yenience.
 The branch will be from twenty six to twenty-eight miles in length, for the most part over easy topogra- phy. but the latter part will involve expensive work. That the company Is able to handle this enterprise unas- sisted speaks something in regard to their financial resources.
 The company is in intimate touch with the s. P people, who need ties, timbers and poles in their construc' ton work, and with the Greene Con solidated. which needs mine timbers ad hbitium.
 The range feature of this great en' terprise Is of rare importance. Mir. Boothroyd has for several months been employed in stocking the mag nifcent range. where the finest in. ducements for live stock operations ever recorded are in evidence.

hereby append a true statement of the
facts leading up to his disappearance:
Having had many previous and dis

the event drew near Mr.. Bowser did
not refer to it in any manner, and up
to the evening of the very day I fondly
imagined that he had forgotten all
about it.
He had deceived me, however. He
had been keeping track Of the time
and making ready to commemorate the
day in a fitting manner. Mr.. Bowser
is sliest when he has nothing to say.

Within the past 60 days there hav"
appeared in the town Of Sanford four
cases Of smallpox Of mild form. Dr..
McIver, health officer of the town, and
DR.. Mcleod, superintendent OF the
health Of the county, advised the board
Of aldermen to pass a compulsory vac
cination ordinance in order TO prevent
any possible spread of the disease. This
was done by the board of aldermen
Tuesday night last.
The cases that have appeared here
were properly removed and isolated. II
is believed that this action will have
the effect Of stamping out the disease.
It will be remembered that about sven
years ago smallpox appeared here and
the board of aldermen promptly passed
a compulsory vaccination ordinance
and Tigidly enforced It. Only two peo-
pie had to be sent 10 Jail for failure to
comply with the ordinance.
So thorough was the vaccination that
no vestige OF the disease has appeared
in Sanford until within the past 90
days. The ordinance will be stricti2
enforced-Sanford Express.
