HOSE CART FAILS ID
 REACH REAL OWNER
EQUIPMENT USED BY LOCAL COMPANY AT PHOENIX RE- TURNS TO COPPER QUEEN.

There is a misunderstanding as to the hose cart which Douglas loaned to Bisbee for the hose races at Phoe- nix It develops that through a mis- take in shipment the cart has not yet been received by the Douglas de Ipartment although it has been at the freight office for several days. It seems the cart was left for shipment at Phoenix and that instead of bill ing ii to the Douglas fire department it was billed to The Copper Queen company here. The result is that those who should have known of its arrival did not. There are charges amount ing to s12.s1 against it by. the rail road and the cart is still at the sta tion. The charges will be paid either by Phoenix or Bisbee and Douglas will not have to pay them, but if it had been billed properly in the first place there would have been no charge made by the road.

DOUGLAS PIONEER
 VISITS SMELTERTON
VISITS TOWN HE HELPED UP BUILD AND DAVE REID MEETS FORMER FRIENDS.

DOUGLAS, Dec. D. (SpeciaD -
 One of the original pioneers of Douglas, a man who was of the first here and who left the young settle ment in 1902. was in the city last evening and left for Globe this morn. ing. This was Dave Reid. first mas ter mechanic for the El Paso 6 South western railroad in Douglas at the time the young town was starting and the smelters were building. He was even with the road before it was known as the Fl Paso & Southwest ern, when it was known as the Ari- zona Southeastern.
 Master Mechanic Reid and w. M Adamson came face to face yester day afternoon and hands went out on hoth sides although both faces wore puzzled expressions Soon came recognition and it was Dave" and "Bnl" once more. for in those early
 days w. M Adamson was master mechanic at the shelter and the two had many time gone after supplies from one another when it was case of the first man getting them.
 Discussion ran to the early days. to the tent restaurants and the battle with flies. It went back to the days when the wind blew so hard that work at the shelter would have to stop for two or three days at a time, when engines would have to be held in the yards, and Reid even told of one of his experiences in the San Simon when the front platform was blown away from the caboose in which he was riding.
 It was July S1, 1902, that Reid left the Southwestern. he ha1 sent in his resignation to take effect at the end Of the month and he was sur prised on the eve of his departure D receive Q delegation os employees Of the railroad who presented him with handsome gold watch and massive chain, the case of the watch engrav- ed within with the announcement of the cause of the gift. This watch he still wears.
 When Reid left Douglas there were no buildings east of c avenue and not much but tents and shacks to the west of this main thoroughfare. The changes that he saw seemed, therefore. all the more miraculous and marvellous to him. Brick build ings stand where he used to shoot jack rabbits and homes and prattling children nave succeeded to the resort of the coyote.
 For more than twenty years, except while he was with the Southwestern, Reid has been with the Southern Pa cific. Since leaving here he has been in many places including Tucson and Globe, and this latter city is now his home. He is an enthusiastic Globeite but was warm in his expressions of admiration for Douglas.

SIMMONS DENIES ROAD SALE RUhORS
SAYS E. P. 6 S. w. OWNS COURT LAND LINE AND WILL OPERATE 1T AS USUAL.

fakede utories appearing in the Dis patch recently regarding the purchase CT the Courtland branch of the El Paso 6 Southwestern by the Southern Pacific and an agreement by which lthe Southern Pacific was to have the use of the tracks of the courtland branch and those of the Nacozari raii- road. the following from the El Paso Times of yesterday morning will be interesting to the readers of the Review. The statements of Mr. Simmons is the same as that given out by Walter Douglas in Bisbee some time ago to the effect that he knew nothing of any agreement between his company and the Southern Pacific. Following is the article from the Times quoting Mir. Simmons regard ing the stories persistently published in the face of authentic denials:
 ~The rumors current at Douglas and in Ei Paso for several weeks that the Fl Paso and Southwestern and the Southern Pacific had entered into an agreement with reference to future railroad building along the bor- der was denied yesterday by Gen erai Manager Simmons of the South western. It is well known that the Southern Pacific suspended work on its extension south from Pearce by way of Courtland in Arizona after having expended many thousands of dollars, and the statement was given eredence that it had acquired the Courtland branch of the Southwestern which was built from Douglas last winter. In consideration of this it was said the Southern Pacific was to cease all railway building in that part of the country.
 MT. Simmons authorized the state ment yesterday that his company had entered into no agreement with the Southern Pacific and that it still own ed the Courtland branch and would continue to own and operate it.
 We are going ahead with our own business and paying little attention to what other roads are doing, said Mir. Simmons. We have neither bought nor sold any railroads, nor do we intend to build any additional lines in the near future.
 The reason for the sudden sus- pension of work by the Southern Pa cific has been the cause of much speculation. The general manager has just returned from New York where he was in conference with other officials of the road and Presi- dent Douglas
 MT. simmons declined to give any information as to the appointments now pending in the passenger and traffic departments of the Southwest ern. No appointments have been made as far as know. he said.
 It is understood, however, that the successor to A. N. Brown will be an. nounced from Chicago within short time.
 The copper prospects are much brighter, said Mir. Simmons, and that will mean better times for Fl Paso. The general financial situation is greatly improved Good times will reach the west within few months
