Theo. NJ. Kirkhoff, of Chicago, rep
resenting the Mcdonald, Mccoy com
pany, bond buyers, the firm which pur-
chased the issue of the school bonds,
arrived in Douglas yesterday TO look
over the city in which his company
has recently invested. This company
has also purchased the bonds of the
Tucson City Water Works company,
and ne will also make a trip to that
city. Mr.. Kirkhoff says his trip to tae
southwest is for no other reason than
to have a look at the cities in which
his company has become interested
and also learn something of other new
and growing cities in this part OF che
country. Yesterday he visited t he
Chamber Of Commerce Office, where he
was told something about the wonder
full growth of Douglas and its present
resources and prospects. He said that
he had seen something of the city and
was amazed at many things he had

REMODELING THEATER
FOR NEXT SEASON
Play House Down at Douglas
viii Be Practically New
By September,

DOUGLAS, June 4.-(SpecialD-
By the time of theopening of the
l90S-,09 theatrical season Douglas will
have practically a bran new opera
house, for the owners OF the present
oEpneum building have such elaborate
plans on the boards for the remodeling
and improving of the old building that
the theater goers wont know it.
Architect ]. A Holden is working
on the plans for oyerhauling the build
ing and work will shortly be oommenc-
ed in getting ready for the rebuilding
Two of the great features of the plans
are that there will be no steps or stairs
for the audience to climb, and second,
all of the seats in the house will be
on ain inclined floor There will be
no balcony or gallery, but the last
row of seats in the house will be near
ly as high as the balcony now is.
The entrance to the theater will be
just twice as wide as 1t is at present,
and instead of having steps leading to
the main floor of the auditorium, the
floor of the lobby Will be inclined also.
There will be cloak rooms for both
ladies and gentlemen on each side of
the entrance and a nicely furnished Of
fee for the management. There will
be two boxes, one on each side of the
stage which will be ornamental, and
much will be done to improve the in
terior of the building and the stage
In short, 1t will be a modern theater
throughout, as nearly fireproof as pos
sible. and as safe IN case of fire for
the speedy exodus of the audience as
possible.

BOND PURCHASER LOOKS
FOR THE CELEBRATION
Suggestion That Moreci and
Clifton Play at Douglas,

DOUGLAS, June Especial. -
d. A. O'Donovan has now all kinds
d. A. O'Donovan has now all KINDS
of baseball propositions Tor the Fifth
of July in Douglas, but the best prop
osition of all came by telegraph yester-
day afternoon from V. r. Stiles Passen-
gel. Agent for the FL Paso and South
western.
Mr.. Stiles seems to have hit the
nail squarely on the head in the way
of a baseball proposition for the day
after the big Fourth. He suggests
that they make an extremely low rate
from the two cities of Morenci and
Clifton and have the teams from these
two towns cross bats in the afternoon
of the fifth. Clifton's bid for gaIno
in Douglas on that day was the first to
come in and it seems to be foregone
that she will be in the
game. Mr.. Stiles thinks that by put
ting up against, her, her neighboTing
city, MOrenci, and making q low rate
to Douglas for the two days, that he
will be able to bring along good big
per cent of the population of the two
cities to root for their respective
teams.
Secretary Gerhart or the Chamber
Of Commerce who received the tele-
gram from Mr.. Stiles wired back that
they had made Cananea a proposition
and would have to wait to hear from
them first, but would wire him as soon
as they learned what Cananea decided
to do.
It is planned to have two games on
the following Sunday. One in the morn
ing and the other in the afternoon.
The game between Clifton and Cana
nea or Morenci, which they are now
negotiating for, will be in the after
noon and it is pretty well understood
that In the monring there will be a
game betwee nthe BisDee team and
an all star team from Douglas.
