DOUGLAS MAY BE 4 MILITARY
 POST

DOUGLAS, Nov. 11.-(Speciai. )-
 J. c. Gung'l, of the local law firm of Gung'l & Turner. returned to the city this morning. after having gone as far as Phoenix with General Thomas and party and having stayed over in Phoenix for the first day of the fair.
 MT. Gung1 came back enthusiastic over the chances of Douglas for the obtaining of military post in the near vicinity of the city. He believes that there is little doubt of the location of a post here and his confidence af- ter his trip in close association with General Thomas, commandant of this military district, may be taken as sig nificant.
 MT. Gungl states that he learns that if the post is to be located here the preliminary steps will be first a recommendation for a post by the secretary of war to congress. Then comes an appropriation by congress lol d pOol ohu iaSI SOAaSS thS AOSa1AO" selection. He believes these steps will be taken in order and that in due season the post will be located in the valley close to here.
 Mir. Gung1 states that there are crowds in Phoenix to attend the fair and that it opened most auspiciously yesterday and promises to be the greatest and most satisfactory in the history of the territory.

SHELTER CITY FANCItRs
 ORGANIZE ASSOCIATION

DOUGLAS, Nov. 11.-( Especially
 Preliminary steps were taken last evening for the organization of poul. try fanciers association in Douglas to be composed of residents of the city and the surrounding country. The meeting was held at the office of the Chamber of Commerce and Mines up on the call O. Edward GrindelL. sec retary of the chamber. and with a view to have a poultry show here. IL was attended wholly by local residents and because of this and the difficult ty of those living out in the valley attending in the evening another meeting will be held on Thursday morning at 10 o'clock.
 At last nights meeting officers were chosen as follows: Thomas Nichols, president; Harry Laskey, vice presi- dent, A. J. Cook, superintendent of exhibits; Ed Grindell, secretary, and S. G. Dowell, treasurer.
 It is a well known fact that through scientific breeding egg production can be largely increased. It is also well known that quantity and quality of meat on table fowls can also be thus improved. Besides this there is pleas ure attached to caring for flock of birds that are symmetrical, slightly. beautifully plumed and of an even type, while it may be drudgery to look after a bunch of common barn yard breed. A poultry association will be an excellent thing for any who are interested in fowl culture and it will be found that few thoroughbred fowls, cared for in the back yard will supply fresh eggs and broilerS for table, and make it pleasure 't' care for them besides having deci2 ed saving to the purse of the house wife. The care of small flock is not arduous work for man or for wo, man and is well worth encouraging, especially about Douglas.

 See that clothes are thoroughly dried and aired after being ironed; other wise they will not smell fresh and sweet and white garments will soon become yellow.
 When you sprinkle clothes for iron ing cover the basket with a big, heavy blanket and clothes will keep moist and not mildew or sour in the hottest weather. Place the basket in a cool place, especially if articles are sprin- kled at night to iron the next day.

BANTAhS STILL LEAD
 IN BOWLING MATCH

DOUGLAS Nov. 11.-(Specih.)-
 Each week draws the teams closer together in the Y. M. c. A. three-men tournament. The race for first place is close between two teams and there aresfour other teams all in a bunch fighting it out for third place.
 The Bantams are still in the lead with Is pins advantage over the c. & A. team, and how these teams will stand at the close is an open question, which will probably remain doubtful until the last games are rolled. These two teams have totalled 9577 and 9561 respectively.
 The teams striving for third posi- ton this week may get within strik- ing distance of the two leaders ere the end of the tournament, and 1t is pretty certain that one or more of them will should either of the leaders have a slump. These four teams and their scores are: City, 922S; c. o. Shelter, 9163 Bankers, 9129, and St. Railway. 909S. The standing of the other teams is c. Q. Clothing, s901; E. P. & S. w, SS56; c. Q. Store, S7s2; and c. Q. Machine Shop. S244.
