THE 1909 REGATTA.

The gentlemen who have inquired
prominently in Regatta matters here
for the past six or eight years. as
committeeman and sponsors, are
un;t upon withdrawing from this
field of civic enterprise, and we do
not know that they are to be blamed
for the decision. But that does not
carry with it the abandonment OF the
festival; that must never be thought
Of for a moment. The 1909 Regatta
is of lust as much, and more, import
ance as any Of its thirteen predeces-
sors. and must be devised and launch
ed with even more aplomb and car
ried to even greater lengths of sue
cess. 1t is an established, confirmed
and indispensable Astoria institution
If Messrs. Celler, Wise, Hoetler,
Prael, Johnson, Gallagher and Staples
and others who have served long and
faithfully in this connection really
feel that they cannot devote any
more time and effort in the leading

have served so we'll to relieve them
Of the primary charge of the annual
water-festival; and the difficult task

ARRIVES FOR VISIT
 BUT UNCLE N0T FOUND

DOUGLAS, Nov. 13.-(speciaD-
 A sixteen-year-old boy, who says that his home is in Los Angeles and that he is here looking for an uncle, met with kindly reception in court this morning and is now being aided in a search for his relative.
 He got to Douglas last evening and was found wandering ainnIessly about and put in a cell at an early hour this morning.
 Harold Burton is a manly little chap of about sixteen years. He says that a step-mother and he could not get along at home and that he started out here to visit his uncle, George A. Allen, who he thinks works in one of the smelters. An inquiry at the timekeepers office of both smell ters, however, failed to bring any in- formation of such man.
 Judge Rice had just finished lee turing and sentencing a gunman as Harold Burton was brought up and there was an instantaneous change in the Judges manner which at once became kind and inviting of conf dence. After the boy had told how he had worked his way, helping on locomotives and doing other work from Los Angeles to Benson, gone on to Fl Paso upon an Espee train by I mistake and then worked his way, never beating but always working back to Douglas. he had the sympa. i thy of all. A plea of not guilty was ordered entered and the case dismiss ed. Harold was then taken to the Y. M. c. A. for bath and the Judge said he would look after him until relatives were found. The boy has completed his seventh grade in school and said he would work here if he could get something to do, but other wise wanted to return to Los Angeles as he was tired of his wanderings.

OOUGLAs CHURCH FAIR
 IS GRAND SUCCESS.
This Is the Statement of Those Handling Financiai.
 End of Event

DOUGLAS; Nov. 15>- Special. .)-7
 The fair of the Church of Immac- ulate Conception opened last evening better than has any previous fair giv- en by that church. This is the re port of those who are familiar with the financial end of the proposition this morning and this remarkably good showing was accomplished not withstanding the fact that no chances were being sold as had been done in past years. It augurs well for the success of a worthy undertaking which Is being aided by the people of the city irrespective of their religious faiths.
 Last night was the first night of the fair and a little before six the final preparations were completed. For a short time there was no isgn of activity except on the stage. where there were four long tables with snowy clothes simPsy loaded with goo6 thizss to eat and frightened by vases of chrysanthemums. And such sup per as it was, Delicious roast tur- key and cranberry sauce, cold ham, roast pork and apple sauce, several kinds of salad, hot Boston brown bread, hot pork and beans, coffee of the most delightful aroma. several kinds of the most tempting cake were only some of the good things that bur dened the four tables which were per fectly served by volunteer waitresses-
 Later the several booths were given the attention they deserved and still later dancing was the all popular amusement. The music for this was furnished by an orchestra conducted by Miss Torpey. Daniel A. oDono- van acted as floor manager. The floor was in good condition and the dance music and pleasant crowd made the first of the four nights of the fair a most delightful occasion.

STREET GAR LINE
 FOR AGUA PRlETA
ARTURO MORALES GETS CON- cEssIoN WHICH HE TRANS
 FERs TO D. l. COMPANY

A Mexican official yesterday stat ed that the concession for a street railway at Agua Prieta, which was re- gently obtained by Arturo Morales on a trip to Mexico City. had been trans ferred by Senor Morales to the Doug las Improvement company. This would seem to mean the building of a line, as has been talked of in the past, from the present tracks of the company to the International line and thence on into Agua Prieta.
 senor Morales recently went to Mexico City to obtain a street railway franchise for Agua Prieta and on his return stated that he was successful in obtaining his concession from the Federal government, but still had to obtain state concession from Sonora , at the capital, Hermosillo. Further than this statement nothing has been given out by Senor Morales himself

PLACER MINING MEETS WITH
 SUCCESS

PRESCOTT, Nov. 14.-What is be- lieyed to be veritable Fl Dorado in placer gold deposits is the strip of ground located in and around Arizona City on Big Bug creek. Practically between 300 and 400 asres are in the zone being worked and in some in- stances as high as s15 per day to the man is being taken out, the. returns coming from the rich streaks that are dug into.
 All points are producing neverthe- less along the banks of the stream as well son the mesa above and some distance away. the soil is being sluiced, rocked and carted to conyen- tent points for working. The original find was on low lying strip Of ground alongside of the railroad track and one channel was mined at that point that yielded heavily, creating tthe lively interest that is now pre- vailing at other points adjacent.
 The best ground is said to be held by Frank AverilI and a man named Woods, both of whom are making a fine showing. George Bashford and Patrick Grant at another point are also said to be meeting with good sue success. Several others whose names could not be learned are also at work and in many instances the miners are making more than wages, all de pending upon tthe facilities they em- ploy. The depth to bedrock reaches ordinarily ibut six feet, while in | many cases a few feet is all that is necessary. The soil is favorable and the only obstacle to washing the gravel is the absence of water Crude appliances are used and in some instances the time consumed in reaching the point to handle th' product is greater than the mining O the ground One of the above firm has erected a large tank with sluic' box attachments, and it works to bet ter advantage than the others. Som' are compelled to fill barrels at thu spring nearby and then roll the wate to the place where it is desired tt rock the gravel. Another has smal pipe to bring the water-to the ground
 It is known that last week seyera hundred dollars in a fine grade o gold was washed out under these primitive conditions, and those know ing the auriferous character of thr soil say that the coming winter should see a heavy yield from tha small field when water can be had il abundance.

Much Speculation

Yesterday evening as the report spread through the city there was much speculation as to what was to happen next regarding proposed rail roads for this city. The general con census of opinion was that the aban- donment of the line was a fortunate thing for this city, as it was beliey- ed from the starting of this line that it would do this city much harm. The abandonment of the Naco line perhaps means that the Southern Pacific and the Southwestern have come to some agreement concerning their interests in this section. It may mean that the Southern Pacific is to have trackage privileges over the Nacozari line into this city and from here north over the Courtland road. Such an arrange ment would make Douglas the great est gateway to Mexico in Arizona and result in the coming here of new smelters and the enlargement of those already here to accommodate the rich copper ores of Sonora which would be tributary to this city. However, as stated in the beginning of this ar ticle, there is nothing very clear in the present railroad situation and noth- ing is known as to the meaning of the last move of the Southern Pacific which has come as great surprise to all.

Entire Grading Force on s. P. Branch Line Between keI- ton and Naco Is Paid Off and Work Suspended

DOUGLAS. Nov. 15.-(Speciali--
 The railroad situation affecting Douglas is now about as clear as mud. It became known yesterday that the Southern Pacific was aban- doning all work in this county as fast as the men can be paid of. Your correspondent got the story yes terday too late for it's verification: 1t seemed improbable that this rail road company would come into Sul- phur Springs valley, grade a roadbed and then pull out without laying the track. However, this seems to be Shat will be done. Douglas will not get tnc Southern Pacific line at pres ent. atleasl. and Naco is also to be disappointed in its hopes for the new road.

Commission Government

E. R. Pirtle started a political breeze when he suggested that it was time for the chamber of commerce to take hand in politics and declar- ed that he favored a commission gov ernment for Douglas similar to the one. in Galveston and other cities of the country. The commission govern ment was warmly endorsed, but MT Kelly gave it as his opinion that the less the chamber of commerce had to do with politics the better it would be for it. The managing editor of the Dispatch took occasion to com nit that paper to non-partisan, busi- ness mans administration. He was reminded of a Citizens ticket that was nominated by a republican con vention last year and defeated and was reminded of how the Dispatch had endorsed a republican caucus held in Douglas for the purpose of considering a public improvement
 which interested every resident oi the city and that this looked more
 like getting into the politics than get ting out of politics.

Randolph Talks

H. I. Randolph, when asked for a confirmation of the report regarding the discontinuance of work on the Naco branch of the Southern Pacific, replied: If you want definite news of the intentions of the Southern Pa cific railroad I would advise you to call at the Dispatch office. They seem to be possessed of all informa- ton concerning this road worth know ing. However, he continued, it is true that orders have been received from Tucson for the discontinuance of work and the men of the various camps will be paid off just as fast as it is convenient to do so. l am not in- formed of the meaning of this order further than it means that the work is to be abandoned and the outfits nov ed away"
