FIRST BOSS OF c. q A.
 PASSES THROUGH DOUGLAS

l. L. Merrill. who was the first su-
 perintendent of the Calumet and Ari-
 ona Mining company. passed through
 Douglas last Saturday evening en
 route to the Burro mountain mining district in New Mexico where he has charge of the Chemung Mining com pany. Mir Merrill was accompanied by Mrs. Merrill and during the wait between trains they took an automo- bile and rode through the city. MT Merrill noting and commenting on the great growth of the city since he was last here five years ago. While view. ing the beautiful rotunda of the Gads- den hotel Mir Merrill told of the lit. tie restaurant on Ninth street where he fought the flies for his meals dur ing the early days of Douglas.
 Mir Merrill was the first superin- tendent of the Calumet and Arizona Mining company and had charge of the construction of the smelter in Douglas and the development of the mines of the company in the Warren district. Leaving the employ of the five years ago he went to Los Angeles and built a home where he has since resided.
 The Chemung property was secur ed by Merrill some three years ago and the company for it's development was promoted. He is of the opinion that there is not a more promising copper district in the southwest than the Buurro mountain district. A rail road is being considered for the dis trict and when this is built the prop critics in that district will become i'm portant producers. Already the Phelps Dodge interests are running a small in the districts from which good results are being secured Hoval A.

Story of Dying Trees.

Attention has recently been directed to the number of trees in Glasgow which are in a dying state, their sick ly condition being attributed to smoke. A correspondent mentions a singular coincidence in regard to five trees which a John Pattison planted in the center of his garden in Kelvingrove on the birth of his five sons. Two of his sons died early in the nineteenth century, but three lived til after 1850, when there were only three of the trees standing. On the night that his son Matthew died one of sthe trees fell. and on the night of Frederick and Johns death (some years be- tween) one of the trees fell. certain ly, as the writer remarks. a singular coincidence.-Glasgow Herald.

When wa.er eets Into the watch.

A watchmaker who has worked at the bench for over a quarter of cen tury gave this advice to watch owners who may accidentally get water into their watches:
 Do not open you watch until you secure some sort of dish into which to place it, and also enough kerosene to cover it all over; any old tin can will do. Open your watch case, both front and back covers, and carefully move it around in the kerosene until you have filled it with oil. Allow it to remain in the kerosene until you can have 1t cleaned. It will come out of the oil without any of the parts rusting. thus saving much expense and the watch.-Popular Science.

ROADS eUsINess LARcE

It was learned yesterday from good authority that the business of the Fl Paso and Southwestern railroad was larger for the month of March than for any month since the business fell away after the business slump two years ago. While much of this in- creased business came from material hauled to Douglas for the Mexico and Colorado railroad, the general and steady business has also increased.
 It $ known that the road will have a large business during the next sixty or ninety days in hauling cat tie from the ranges tributary to the road. Many of the cattlemen have indicated their intention to make heavy shipments between now and July first. Early spring shipments of cattle were not made this year as usual, for the reason that cattle were not in a condition to be put on the cars for transportation to the feeding pastures of the northwest
 w. H. Neel of the Four Bar ranch stated last week that he expected to make heavy shipments this year from the ranges of the Sulphur Spring val ley and it is known that probably i've hundred cars of cattle would be shipped from the ranges south of Douglas in Sonora provided the ship ments are not prevented by the quar- antine regulations.
 The fact of the increasing railroad business must be taken as the very best evidence of returning prosperity to this section of Arizona.
 Railroad Construction.
 The construction work on the Mex leo and Colorado railroad is being pushed in every department. Twenty two miles of the grade has been com pieted north from Douglas and all the heavy grades have been complet. ed at Courtland, the northern termi. nus. Steel has been laid eight miles out of Douglas and the grade will all be completed before this work can be overtaken by the tracklayers. The telegraph poles have all been deliver ed by Andy Scott, who had the con tract for this work. These polls have been placed in position as they were delivered on the route. so that in short time the direct wire from Court land to Douglas will be in operation. A telephone instrument is being in stalled today at the engineers camp twenty-four miles north of this city for the convenience of communica- tion with Douglas It is expected that trains will be running between Doug. las and Courtland by the middle of June, or not later than July first
 The Henning Railroad.
 There has been no news of the Henning railroad, located between Douglas and Cananea recently. Mir. Henning. who is in charge of this rail road enterprise, has been away good portion of the time during the past month and is now in Fl Paso. It is known that all the location work has been cmpleted and it is expected that the next announcement concern ing this line will be the contracting for construction work.

A., while regretting to lose his personality, will be pleas ed to know that he has been tendered and has accepted a position with the Dallas. Texas. assoc iation. that is big step forward for him. He will sever his connections with the local asso- citation next Saturday and leave at once for Dallas, where he will take charge of the social and membership work.

It is to initiate the social and membership work in this fine institution that MT. LeNoir will leave Douglas.
 Mir. LeNoir has been in Douglas for more than two years. coming here at first on detail work connected with the construction of the Hotel Gads- .den. He took a fancy to Y. M. c.

A. train ing school at Lake Geneva. Upon the completion of that course. he re- turned here and resumed his work. During the last year his, time largely has been devoted to work in the gym nasium and Tn a social way among the boys. He instituted a special boys department having special rooms and special work. all adapted to the wishes and needs of the boys.
 In his every capacity with the Doug las association MT LeNoir has been successful and his friends are conf dent that his record will not suffer from his affiliation with an association in a bigger field.

DOUGLAS WIND PUT
 CIRCUS OUT OF BUSINESS


 Alter all the newspaper columns given the Sells-Floto circus, the men tai agitation of ministers and city councilman. the general interest felt in the promised performance and the heart throbs of those numerous Americans who had planned to spend a day of frolie with the monkeys and elephants and clowns. the circus stop ped just long enough in Douglas 10 water the animals and say. good evening. Douglas" They might have remained long enough to give an evening show. but throwing up a big top is no small job under the best of conditions. and when there is a Douglas Sunday wind and sand storm on it makes the big task of putting up circus tents one fraught with too much peril to attempt. So they cut out Douglas and went on to Cananea.
 The circus got here late in the af- iternoon, as forecast Saturday, and re- mained but a few hours The first section did not stop at all The sec ond section, carrying the animals. re- mained here long enough for it's pass engers to be fed and watered
 Old Boreas was right on his Sun day job again yesterday and anoth- CT wretehed day of the windy season was recorded. Windy Sundays have become so cumulative here of late that it has come to be regarded as a foregone conclusion each week that the next Sunday will be a bad one. and all engagements made for that day are made qualifiedly, conditioned upon the weather
 1t was hoped, and by some believed, that Easter day would break the now long string of unpleasant Sundays, but it was not so. The wind was not long behind the rising of the sun and it is not recorded in local lore when the wind blew harder and carried more sand than Sunday afternoon. The promised Sunday morning pro cession of new gowns and wonderful feats of millinery was largely aban- doned, many owners of new gowns and hats not having the temerity to initiate their spring fnery on such day.

 Fully 700 people were present among the number being many women.

 This is not prohibition question. . declared Mir. Sample, but one of poll itics. If the amendment carries 1t means weakley for Governor and the continuation of Comerism in Alabama: {: 1t cannot mean anything else"
 Mfr. Callahan declared this was not a moral but a political issue that the amendeis were In the pulpit in Alabama but they would not let antis speak from the pulpit.
