SHOW IS
 COMING EVENT

DOUGLAS, Nov 17-(SpeciaIO-
 The Douglas Poultry Fanciers' as sociaion will hold another meeting next Saturday at one o'clock at the office of the chamber of commerce to make further arrangements for the coming poultry show which will be held on January 13, IA and 15, next. At this time the association will be pleased to have all who are interested in chickens, pigeons, poultry of any kind, whether residents of the city or of the valley outside the city at tend and ally themselves with the as- sociation for the improvement of poul- try raising in this section and it's stimulation through the coming poul- try show
 At the last meeting permanent of- ficers were selected consisting of Thomas Nichols, president; Fred Las key, vice president; s. G. Dowell, treasurer; E. P. Grindell, secretary; .C. A. Peckinpaugh, director of exhib- its, and Messrs. Burns, Nichols, Grin cell, Turvey and Solomon, directors
 This association can be of much benefit to its members and to the valley and the city in encouraging poultry culture and thus inducing a supply of eggs and poultry for the city which is now inadequate. It can show how poultry can be best and most profitably raised in this section and open up a market for finely bred birds and for settings of eggs from thoroughbred stock. It can build the foundation for two new industries which can be made important.

OCCUPATION FOR RAINY DAY
7rs=-ranasS Sewing Basket Is ths Idea of One Woman of Re
 source.

One of the satisfactions of the 'ainy day in autumn is the opportu- nity it offers for the accomplishment Of long-pTomissd tasks in comparative quiet. This is the day of all others Hhen we rather resent the visit which we choose to call "an interruption. |"
 Each busy housewife and home seamstress has her own way of pre- pairing for this quiet family day, whose hours lsngthen out delightfully."- while the 5c.indrops batter on tho porch roof just outside the sewing room win Gows.
 One resourceful woman has dis closed her little secret, which is the PreeTrapged sewing basket. She has planned out and cut into every avail able garment in the belief that their accomplishment is practically assured on the coming rainy day, if they have had this advance beginning.
 Sewing often is pushed aside and indefinitely delayed for very want of a good beginning, and one oi our needlewomen tells us that her plan Is to use the rainy day itself for count less beginnings.
 This has a systematic and business like ring, and many a woman who feels that quiet should reign undis- tarbed for the momentous beginning of the long-dreamed-of garment will adopt this latter nlan.

pALLINGER STOPS SALE IF LOTS
 AT PARKER

PHOENIX, Arizona, Nov. IT,
 For some reason, known only in Washington, Secretary of Interior Richard A. Ballinger has issued an order indefinitely postponing the sale of the lots in the Parker townsite.
 Receiver Charles Arnold and Reg ister Frank Parker yesterday receiv- ed official notice from Washington that the sale had been postponed in definitely.
 No reason for the action or infor- nation regarding the probable date of the sale is contained in the letter to the local land officers.
 Ballinger had fixed December 21 as the date of the sale, and hundreds who desire lots in Parker were pre- pairing to be there and take part in the bidding for the choice locations.
 An important feature of the notice to the land office here is that the ar. engagements for the Parker opening will proceed in all respects as pre- viously announced, with the exception of the date fixed for the public sale.
 Receiver Arnold stated that this means that those who hold prefer ence rights in the townsite must pro ceed to make their proof as required by the regulations fixed by Ballinger
 There are 29O preference right holders" said. Arnold this morning, and each of these is required to make final proof before the rate that had been fixed for the public sale Of the lots.
 This means that We have to re- ceive proof of these rights within a few days in order to leave thirty days for publication before the sale of the lots.
 Persons who have a preference right of entry should proceed with their proof the same as if the sale postponement does not in anywise change the instructions heretofore given regarding the submission of prior"
 Neither Arnold nor Parker was able this morning to even suggest a cause for the postponement of the sale. They are as much at sea as others who are trying to figure it out

NOVEL USE FOR OLD CASTER
With Tiny Thumb Pets Filled with Ferns It Makes an impressive
 Ornament.

Here's a new one for the woman who entertains a mania for inventing uses for useless objects. The old silver caster which stands in the attic is not exactly useless. to be sure. for it has come back into vogue again. But by this time most of it's appoint ments are missing and few house keepers care to use it for it's original purpose.
 The inventive soul. who has found a use for it, recommends cleaning it up with a mixture of whiting and ammo mia and furnishing it with tiny thumb pots filled with ferns. This. she in sists. makes an impressive or1amca;.
 Whether impressive or rot, it is very possible to believe that the fD9 tEacery of the ferns against the pol ishea silver would be attractive and that it whould make q pretty center piece !or the dinner table.

MILLION DOLLAR VERDICT.
 GIVEN IN LOS ANGELES.
CALIFORNIA DEVELOPMENT COM PANY MUST RETURN MONEY
 ADVANCED BY RAILROAD.

Judgment in favor of the Southern Pacific Railroad company, amounting to $1,405, ,92743, against the California Development company, promoters of the Imperial valley irrigation project, was rendered late yesterday after noon by Judge Houser, in Department Three of the Superior Court, before Ehom the case was tried last June. : being submitted October 1. The sIit involving this large sum result d from the disastrous overflow of the Colorado river which devastated thousands of acres and caused prop erty damages amounting to several millions.
 The basis for the action in suit dates back to the spring of 1905, when the California Development company became financially embarrassed and was compelled to seek aid by liqui- dating it's indebtedness. At that time it sought financial help from the Sou thern Pacific company, and negotiat- ed a loan of s2OO,OOO. This debt was to be paid off in installments, the last payment to be made March l, 1911.
 s2,ooo,coo Spent for Repairs In 1906, while acting in this trustee ship, the Colorado river, which had been diverted from it's original chan nel by the development company and distributed through over 500 miles of canals to consumers in the Imperial valley, swept over the leyees, inun- dating the valley for miles and form ing the Salton Sea. At this juncture, when the destruction wroght by the floods totalled several millions, the Southern Pacific, in order to save fur thci ruin, stepped into the breach with its entire force and repaired the disastrous breaks. In doing so, it states that s2.OOO,OOO was expended which was charged to the California Development company in teh form of money advanced and materials used.
 Notes to secure this amount were given by the California Development company, which also turned over to the Southern Pacific all of its real property, including the right to collect ing s600, 900, was credited to the total indebtedness, reducing it to aapprox, imately $1,400.OO0.

MEX. CONSUL IS THREATENED
 BY SOCIALIST"

DOUGLAS, Nbv 17.-(Special.) )-
 The Mexican consul was a caller at the court room yesterday on busi- ness, and when this had been complet- ed he disclosed to court clerk Igo. the interesting fact that there are Mexi- can socialists, opponents of the Diaz regime, generally termed revolution ists, in Douglas.
 It was other business which called the consul to the court room and it was only incidentally that he brought the subject up. Then he told John Igo, court clerk and interpreter, that since his arrival here he had been in receipt of threatening letters, all sign ed Socialist" The general tenor of these letters was the same and threat ened him with death because of his utilization with the Mexican govern ment. He has not taken these let ters very seriously, but is doing some quiet investigating and his inquiries at court were as to what he might expect if he could furnish any defin- ite information to the court.
 The replies which the representa- tive of the Mexican government has received from the local authorities ought to be eminently satisfactory to him, for he has been promised coop eration in seeking out the anonymous letter writer or writers who have been threatening him with violence as well as their prompt prosecution if they shall be detected.
 It is not thought likely that there is any organized band of agitators in the city, but that the letter writing is being done by osme disgruntled Mexican who is living in the city and takes the cowardly weapon of anony- nous letter writing to wTeak his spite on the representative of the country where the writer of the letters was given birth.

DOUGLAS BUSINESS MEN
 WILL MAKE MERRY
PLANS ENLARGE-lS THOUGHT
 BEST TO POSTPONE AFFAIR = FOR ONE WEEK.

DOUGLAS, Nov. 17.-(special.)-
 The Douglas chamber of commerce and mines smoker will be of greater magnitude than was at first expected, and in order to carry it out properly it has been deemed best to postpone it for one week, until a week from next Monday. This will give ample time for all preparations in the pro- gram and will insure a greater sue cess. This is the news of the day and this is the action which will be taken by the directors at their meeting to- day. Already, through Sid Williams, the Douglas band has volunteered it's services and the Van Alen Orpheum orchestra has also volunteered to fur nish musical selections, while Manag- CT Hobson turns his theatre over for the smoker on that night.
 The fact that the Douglas band complimentary smoker was to be held Saturday had much to do with the change of arrangements for some of those who will assist in that pro- gram will be wanted for the chamber of commerce smoker as we'll Other matters also made the change advis- able.
 The smoker of the twenty-ninth will net Ee for members only, but the general public are invited, and it will undoubtedly tend to largely swell the membership roll.
