.GADSDEN HOTEL
CHANGES MANAGERS
Tom Jones Leaves Popular
Douglas HoStely-Dining
Room May Reopen,

Tom Jones, who has had charge 5f
the Gadsden hotel in this city as man
ager since it was opened, has rendered
his resignation and his connection
with the hosiery will terminate on
September Is.
William F. Johnson, who has held
the position of assistant manager of
the Knickerbocker hotel in New YORK
city, is expected to arrive in Douglas
during the next few days and he VIII
succeed Mr.. Jones in the Gadsden Mr..
Johnson is coming to Douglas with
the highest recommendations as a
first class hotel man, one who has a
large experience in the management OF
high class hotels during past years.
E has been reported that the din
ing room at the Gadsden will be. re-
opened soon after Mr.. Johnson takes
charge of the house, but Mr.. Ellis of
the board of directors of the hotel
company stated this morning that the
matter of fixing the date for the open
ing Of the dining room at the hotel
would be for the new manager to de-
termine after his arrival
The announcement that Mr.. Jones
is leaving the Gadsden hotel will be
regretted by his many friends in this
city, as during his stay here he has
made many friends who will dislike
TO see him go away from Douglas. Mr..
Jones came to Douglas some time be
fore the opening of the hotel and had
charge If the installation of the furni-
ture throughout. Under his manage
ment the Gadsden was pronounced by
all. those who became guests of it
and others who had opportunity to oo-
serve conditions, as the best hotel in
the southwest The dining room from
the time of the opening of the hotel
until it was discontinued won urstint-
ed praise from ali who went inside OF
it. Eastern people have testified to
the fact that the Gadsden hotel was
equal TO any In the country In the
matter Of service and elegant furnish
ing.
During the last two weeks there
has been a visible increase OF the
number OF guests daily arriving at the
Gadsden hotel and this fact is consid-
cred as an evidence of Improvement
in the condition Of the country. as
many Of the coming guests are look
ing after mining properties In this
section Of the country.

The stories which are coming back,
however, are so glowing that they
dazzle even at this distance. Up in
the Yakima valley in Washington they
pay $1,000 an acre for land and. make
money on it. In one place they raise
four crops of strawberries a season.
In another they gather in five crops
of alfalfa a year. A single valley turn

ducts last year

with novel excitement and figures
how many motor trips abroad he could
finance from five-aore farm unit.
The New Yorker is welcome enough,
but the section where the reclamation
sirens are trying to sing their sweet
est song is in the upper Mississippi
valley.
It is estimated that within tae last
few years q quarter of a million fam
ilies-and that would mean over a
million persons-have enigrated 10

got to be worth from $75 an acre mp

farmers saw chance to make two
fortunes instead of one. They sold
their Iowa farms-that made one for
tune-and went to Canada, where they
got land for perhaps s. an acre, which
they hope to see climb to something
near the Iowa figure.
These men were good, sound, in
telligent Americans Of the best type OF
citizens. and the government was

ONE MILLION A YEAR
FROM STREET CARS
Result of Deal by Chicago With
Traction Company-Fig-
ureS Made Public.

An income Of over $1.000,OO0 a year
is what the city OF Chicago will De
rive as its share in the unique part
nership between IL and the local
street car companies which was hit
upon as the best solution of the trans
action tangle. The first complete fig
ures of the city's profit under this ar
rangement have just been made pub
lie and show the success of the exp-i.
iment AS a result other municipan
ties with traction problems on their
hands may adopt the cooperation
plan. as way out of their difficulties.

contains statement of the net earn
ings of the two street railway compa-

Chicago railway company, FIVE

making total of s1,0I6,567. The
.eity's share of this sum, as stipulated
in the recent ordinances of the compa-
MES is 50 per cent, which amounts u
total in cash of s50S.612 Tor the half
year. At this rate the city may count
on an annual income of at least p mil
lion and a quarter dollars and proba-
bly, more In future yers, as the city
grows and business conditions i'm
prove. Other interesting figures were
contained in the statement. President
