SUNDAY WILL BE
 THE BIC GOLF DAY
Getting Into Shape To Compete With Fl Paso and Douglas
 At Fl PaSO.

Sunday is scheduled for another banner day at the Country Club. All of the golf devotees are arranging to be on the ground early and do their best to lower some of the past scores. They will also take advantage of the occasion to- get in better shape for the, big contests which will be battled for between Douglas and Fl Paso.
 The Fl Paso Country club will move in their new home during Christmas week, which will be the occasion for a gala week for the Pass City team. Douglas has received invitations to be on the ground for three day contest with Fl Paso and the Warren team of twenty men will also be- on deck to carry or the henors from Fl Paso and Douglas too. It is up to the Bisbee boys now to get In fine fettle, as they are going against spirited game. and they will have to practice from now until the gong sounds to show what stun they are made of.
 The Fl Paso club is making big for. this occasion and every one who goes there will know that he is enjoying the time of his life. Let every one go prepared to repre- sent the great Warren district and show the people of the lone star state that the winners are made in the great mining camp of the Warren district.
 It is expected that another contest for the Powell cup, which has been played for three times, will be played during the present month. It has not been decided when the ladies will com pete for the cup, as it has not been decided as yet which is the winner of the last contest.
 As the election Of officers comes off early in January, 1t is probable that the present officers wish to succeed themselves and are doing their besl on the links to make good. Let the wood work continue, for it is only by hard work that the best results can be secured. Expert Erickson has been busy giving lessons and has made a good showing among the members.
 One Of the functions of the season is being arranged in the form of Q smoker, which will probably be given on the 18th of the present month.

COOL WEATHER PROVES THAT
 WINTER |S HERE
Large ICicles Hanging From Precipitating Plant Was An Unusual Sight For Arizona Even In Winter.

One of the coldest snaps which has been experienced in this sectiol, during the present season is now vrs- iting Bisbee and vicinity. It is just cool enough for the overcoat to be brought out from tae bottom of tn. trunk and reminds us that we are nearing the heart of winter in the Warren district. Even some of the most fastidious have thrown some kindling wood upon the grate in the big fire place and have put on a heav- fer suit of clothes
 One of the suggestions of winIe, was seen at the precipitating plant at the Car shaft yesterday, when large icicles were hanging all around the frame work of the plant. As the day wore on and the sun became warmer the big pieces of ice began to lali and piled up in small winrows of ice along the ground. Many of the big cones dropped down, standing upright in the ground, presenting quite ah unusual spectacle as the bright rays of the sun shot off in all directions in a myriad of haloes.
 But how different is Bisbee to the north and east, where the ground ana house tops are covered with beauri- ful coat of snow and the sleigh bells have been jingling for several weeks past. Instead of a light top coat which is used more from custom than necessity as is the case in the Warren district, the heaviest oyercoats ob- tainable are buttoned up to the Fe,S top and the warmest mittens, head gear and arctics are worn every time one sticks his head out of doors.
 The snow banks are beginning To cover up the boards of the fences and the trails lead ng in all directions from the houses are being cleared daily by the snow shoveier. The small boy who has to go out after the armIuI oT we'd has to dig his way through, the snow to find the woou pile.
 But it is interesting to see the north just now in Wisconsin, Iowa CT any of the states in the middle west or east. The trees about the barn yard are all droop'ng with snow ana some of the limbs are breaking. When the san comes up the particles of ice glitter like a thousand diamonds anu the snow birds fit here and there by the hundreds. Huge icicles hang from the caves of the houses and drinking tToughs and dangle against the window panes. The snow in the morning creaks beneath the foot, and toward evening the air is filled wIrh flakes of frost dancing here and there on their way to the ground.
 But the boys and girls have then skates all sharpened and polished and are now cutting figure eights on the beautiful smooth ice, and some or them are getting some hard falls, which make them see stars. Some of them are hunting the highest hills i'll the neighborhood and are enjoying long rides down into the valleys.
 But here in Bisbee we see the sun shine, and hundreds from the frozen north are headed this way for the pur- pose of escaping the zero weather ana hoping to find a climate where the oyershoe and .t1e fur overcoat and the furs of the ladies are not needed. With few cool nights and little ice which is thinly frozen and an occasion al flake of snow and the winter in the Warren district and Arizona is over.

Author and Magazine Writer Gives Out An Interesting
 Interview.

aloysius Ccli- was up from Douglaa thursday and made a days visit Il. tbe town of t.fe hills. He is a brother O. Raymond z Coll. lessee aad man ager of the Douglas Dispatch. ThIs younger brother is already known to many as magazine writer, his naino appearing in the Christmas numbers of Puck. Outing, Mnnsey. Overlann Monthly. Ganter's, etc. His last book was The Harem, volume Of the besL of his recent verse published in the curren magazines. He recently re- turned from long trip in various parts of Europe, Africa, Asia Minor and the islands of the Mediterranean.
 +And what do you think of thrs country?" our interviewer asked hini last night,
 Well, it is not so barren as the Sahara, and not nearly as close to the torments of Purgatory; the bufroS are thrice the size of the Cairo don keys. but not half as respectful to- wards man with London clothes Ui his back; tae skies1I have seen here are not to be compared with those lli Labrador. the harbor of Naples, Venice or the Alps. when the Alpine glow settles ever the virgin peaks or snow; the saloons haXe Maxim's in Paris beaten for quick drinks and the people are the most cordial I have ever met, and it is appreciated. A pci pon can be as happy as hard-shelleu cocoanut. if you break him opeh gently"
 T suppose you have broken "a bronco" we asked
 No; but have bought a postal card and a horned toad.
 And no doubt have found out how useless both of them are to you
 There's where you are mistakeG. The postal card sent back home to my present address. which may serve in good stead when I can't lasso a bright prospect or corral the price Of a southwestern green and white ticEe' marked Pittsburg; and the aorned toad 1911 l will use to convince them when I get home that I've really been here''
 Are you going to write book while out here2"
 "'St. John wrote his part of tas Bible long after he had gone out oI the land of the Jordan and the Sea of GaIlee: Robert Hichsns wrote the Garden of Allah" tale of Biskra in an oasis of the Sahara when ne was living in Sicily, so I suppose its up to me to write m epic on New foundland fisheries while I'm located in Douglas"

B|CKNELL IS
 IN FAVOR IF
 COAST SLEEPER
Southern Pacific Will lnaugu- rate Service From Douglas Provided the Southwestern Meets Afternoon Schedule.

A O. Bieizneii, genera< freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pa cine. was in the city yesterday, an0 discussed matters with the Board On Trade. in line with the matters dis cussed the day previous with officiafs of the E Paso & SoutAwestera. Theie still remains some questions which the Board of Trade desires to have arranged that necessitate joint action between the two roads. Part of this business will be taken up by cores pondence
 Yesterday Secretary Reynolds anu MT. Bickneli went over some business relating to rates and claims and dis posed of several matters that have ben up for some time.
 In regard to the request of BisBee people that through Pullman service be inaugurated between Bisbee and the coast. Mir. Bicknell stated that his road would be willing to start such a service from Douglas, provided the Ei Paso & Southwestern would arrange it's schedule so that it might meet the afternoon trains, Nos. s and g, at Ben son. Whether this arrangement will prove satisfactory to the Fl Paso X Southwestern is not known, but, in view of the expressions of Nr. Stiles of that road at the Thursday confer ence. it is believed that the joint ar rangement desired may prove accepta- ble to them If the Pullman service is inaugurated, as seems probable, Sat nrdaF will likely be the day decided upon as the regular day for tls ser vice.
 Tn the discussion of the territorial rates on cattle and grain, most of the points desired by the Board of Trade were conceded, and q few were held in abeyance. In the absence of Gen eral Freight Agent Brown, ef the Ei Paso & Southwestern, MT. Bicknen did not desire to commit himself on rate matters, in whici the two roads were jointly at interest.
 President Buxton and Secretary Reynolds are pleased over the result of the conferences with the railroad officials. Quite number of rate ques- tious were disposed of. The desireG sleeper service to the coast seems probable, and promise was secured from the Southwestern to run daily sleeper service between Bisbee and i1l Paso as soon as business conditions justify.

Rapid Extension of Lines for Develop
 ment of Northwest.
 New York Tribune.
 The announcement of the opening of three nef railroad lines in Canada, com prising several hundred miles, Is an- other reminder of the great part which railroad extension plays in the nation al policy of our northern neighbor. Years ago the first transcontinontal line. the ''C P. R." was built at great expense as an essential and, indeed. indispensable means of uniting the widely scattered provinces of the De- minion in a single commercial, indus trial, social, and political entity. It was largely successful to that end, and it contributed greatly to the increase in population of existing provinces and to the organization and development of others There were those who thought 1t an extravagant and reck- less venture, which would bankrupt the nation and which would never be profitable. They were entirely wrong, as the sequel has shown. The fiscal resources of the nation were strained, but they stood the strain. Today that railroad has more than 10000 miles in operation. with fine steamship lines to Europe and Asia, and a revenue of more than $70.O00,000 a year. That Is a great BnONlHs lul StN0ANEtH yVdlS pA service.
 At the present time there are two trunk lines from the great lakes to the Rocky Mountains, while Southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba are grid ironed with parallel and intersecting roads. Any one travelling north east from the Montana line to Lake Winni peg, through Saskatchewan and Man itoba. crosses five or six railroads and as many more are planned or under construction. The three new lines which were opened last week are in that region. Thus far there Is only one transcontinental line, but a second IS planed to reach the pacific far north of Vancouver, just at the southern end of the Alaska panhandle, while two more trunk lines circling the lakes and connecting Manitoba with Ontario are being built. The project of a road from Saskatchewan to Hudson Bay Is by no means abandoned. nor is that of another from the Georgian Bay region to the shore of James Bay.
 Sir Wilfrid Laurier and hiscolleagues are fully committed to a vigorous con- tlnuance to the railroad extension pol icy of late years. and as they have re- eeived at the polls a notable verdict of

Amerlcann Save Japanese Flag

ToNsIo Corresp ondence New York Times.
 There was one feature of the week perhaps less heralded than the numer- ous receptions garden parties, and speeches and which had a wider sentl- mental value than any of these func- tions. In Yokohama on Thursday evening one of the imposing welcome" arches approaching the bridge to the railroad station caught Ire. This arch was a characteristlcally filmsy pole structure covered with greens and tllu- minated by gas jets.
 While 1t was still burning and al- most topping over. there Stiil remain ed on the topmost part Japanese dag. Four American sailors climbed the arch, amidst the fire, saved the flag. and presented 1t to the Japanese. A few weeks ago every Japa nese thought the Americans would be only too glad to trample that flag under their feet, and here were the Americans. at the risk of their lives, actually saving what to the Japanese is dearer than life.
 The Emperor has issued orders to ob- tain the names and addresses of the men. and no doubt the event will be further heard of. I regret that I can not give their names as the Americans made little of it but the Japanese have been deeply touched and will never forget 1t.

AMERICAN LORD
 WINS HIS TITLE
British commIssiou Reports FavOrabIy on Claim of A. K. Fairfax
 of vtrgfnin.

London, Tuesday.--The Committee on Privileges of the House of Lords to- day declared the right of Mir. Albert Kirby Fairfax, who is 6 native of Vir- ginia. and who has been described as the only American bearing an English title. to the rank and title of Lord Fairfax of Cameron, in the Scottish peerage.
 The committee heard evidence on this matter for two hours. MT. J. A. Barrett, Lord Fairfax's attorney, pre- sented the Fairfax, family Bible and much documentary 'ievidence to prove his clients descent. The Attorney Gen. eral for, the Government and the Lord Advocate of Scotland declared them selves as satisfied regarding the val idity of the claim, and Lord Alverstone, Lord Chief Justice, pronounced the de- cision of the committee. This decision does not give Lord Fairfax seat in the House of Lords. Only limited number of Scottish peers, elected by the lords. sit in tbe House.
