Happenings of Year

In the past year much has occurred to cause thankfulnes to individuals and to the community. On every side may be seen signs that the days of business depression which afflicted this city in common with the rest O the country are passing away. Mer- chants uniformly declare that busi- ness conditions are now much better than they were a year ago. The banks show increases of deposits as evidence of the thrift of the inhabi- tants of the city. Each day brings inquiry as to the mining conditions in the immediate vicinity and in So- nora and each week is bringing it's visitors in growing number from the last who seek in the mineral wealth of the surrounding country a new
 hannel for investment. This is daily becoming more manifest and yet the tide has but commenced to set in this direction.

OVERLAND
 FILM | Al DOUGLAS

The clash which resulted in the ar rests of yesterday occurred on No vember and it was only yesterday that deputy sheriff Bob Hilburn was called to go up to Portal Canyon and make the arrest. The trouble arose in the San Simon and not in the Sul- phur Springs valley.
 According to the complain. H. T. Crosby came from Texas looking for land on which to locate and which he could file upon In the course of his investigation he alleges that he dis covered that Charles Johnson was oc- cupying government land without the preliminary of filing upon it. He de clares that after he had found this state of affairs he went to Johnson and informed him that it was his in- tention to legally take up the land which the latter was occupying. there by giving an equal opportunity with himself to file on the lands.

and daily, month in and month out there is to be enjoyed truly the best climate on the continent in a land where whatever extremes there may be of temperature are sometimes crowded into a day, but where there is not the great variation to be found elsewhere. Where snow is almost unknown, where only a film of ice ever appears and where heat pros trations are as rare as the African giraffe. All of these conditions are reasons for thanks by Douglas and Douglasites and to this must be add ed that here are the best, best heart ed. most progressive people of whom Uncle Sam boasts in all his great fam fly of children.

Railroad Possibilities

There has come disappointment that the Southern Pacific has not built in to the city in the past twelve months but what the railroads have in store for Douglas is as yet a guess beyond the fact that 1t is something good and that it will come in time. One road has been completed, that to Courtland. Surveys have certainly been made for other roads to make Cananea tributary and to open the Madeira district. These roads will surely ultimately be built by some company to tap the riches of Sonora and tae Mexican government conces- sion calls for their coming here. The future from the business end certain iy looks bright

Notice Id Resented

According to the story of Crosby, Johnson did not appreciate the square deal he was offering, but proceeded to attack him. He claims that John son drew a knife and made pass at him which he warded off sufficient ly so that it only caused wound over the eye. Thereupon Crosby swore out a warrant for Johnson on a charge of assault with a deadly weap- on, the arrest was made, plea of not guilty was entered and the hearing is set for December 9th at 10 a. m.
 A second arrest was made by Hil- burn in Newt Eldridge whom, Crosby alleges, was present at the time and mixed up in the fracas. This charge is for disturbing the peace.
 Wright & Noble are for the defen- dants.

Municipal Progress Made

The city has taken over, or rather has voted to take over, the plant of the water company and enlarge and improve it. With the passage of an enabling act this will be done and a valuable and ever increasing asset is the possession of the municipality Cheaper water will mean more lawns, more trees, more flowers-a more beautiful Douglas. ..-... ...
 The affairs of the city are so man aged that the tax rate here is lower than in any other city in Arizona. It is cleaner morally than any other city in the territory and is practically free, has for the past year been practically free, from epidemic and endemic dis. ease. It is not a health resort, it is a healthy city.
 Intellectual 5etterment
 i Intellectually there is stiu more req son for thankfulness. The children of the city have been well provided for in schools, but will be still better cared for in the future when the new high school and other school build inds which have been voted and are now building shall be completed.
 As to the work of the past and the work now going on in the schools there is great reason for pride and thankfulness in that first prize in the educational exhibit at the teritoria fair was awarded to Douglas .whe1 display was made which was a sur prise to other cities in a territory where the public schools can tak' rank with those of any of the states fl

MANCHESTER LOSES FIRST GAME

Before 2 o'clock Friday afternoon,
the grandstand and bleachers at the
ball park were crowded with interest
ed fans who had come to watch the
renewal of the old feud between
Strawberry Point and Manchester
and with the visiting club came per-
haps thirty enthusiastic friends who
enjoyed seeing their team win its sec
ond game this season.
Mayor A. d. Long opened the
game by throwing the first ball to
Rogers of the visitors, which was an
hounced by the umpire to be a bali.
In the second inning Van Nice, tall
gentleman who halls from Mount Yer
non town and who pitches in very
confusing manner, secured a two base
hit, but after advancing to third was
not allowed to score, on account of
other put outs. In the fifth, Straw
berry Point secured run, the only
one allowed in the game, making the
score and leaving it l to 0.
The interest was keen on the part
of the rooters and spectators, and
a hard fight was put up on beth
sides. The Manchester men worked
well, considering the fact that no
preliminary games or real practice
had been had, and the townspeople
are well pleased with the support Civ
en- Sexton, the pitcher, who seems
to be at home and familiar with his
work as a slab artist.
