Wilson. a pioneer of Cali fornia., who for many years was a resident of the state of Sonora, 150 miles south of Douglas. died last week at the Soldiers Home. near Santa Monica, where he had resided for the past two years. Wilson was prominent in California during the early days of that state and was a member of the constitutional conven- ton. afterwards serving several years in the legislature. He was also prom inent as one of the men who stood sponsor for law and order during the days when vigilence committees were more potent than the courts.
 Wilson owned a ranch in Mexico and leaves a son who now resides on that property. He was more than 80 years old.

DOUGLAS BUILDING BOOM

A goodly number of buildings are now under construction in Douglas, not including the extensive eonstruc- ton work now planned for the near future at the Copper Queen smelter and also at the c. & A. smelter. The residence of J. D. Marshall on Eleventh street in the Clawson ad- dition is progressing well and when completed will be an ornament to that part of the city.
 The city water office has been start ed and will cost near S3000. H. c. MargareH is building a five room brick residence at the corner of Thirteenth street and E avenue. D. L. Darling, the contractor, is building two new residences on Six tesnth street
 John F. Goshen is building an adobe fiat on F avenue, between twelfth and Thirteenth streets
 But all the building is not confined to Douglas. At Apache station a sub stantial public school building is go ing up and J. W. Markin has ordered material for a new store building which he will erect there. Many hOmesteaders have taken land in the vicinity of Apache and the place has become a business point. A. V. Sutton, who has taken a | homestead in the Cottonwood country seven miles from the San Bernar. dino ranch is building a home.

MACHINE TO FRAME
 \. \. CONSTITUTION

L. R. Allen of Bisbee passed through the city this morning enroute home from a visit to New Mexico. where he formerly resided. Mir. Al len formerly owned the Las Vegas Optic. He dropped in for day at Santa Fe, where he met many old acquaintances and friends. The New Mexico constitutional convention was not in session the day Mir. Allen wis ited Sata Fe, but he met and talked with many of the delegates.
 ! There is no danger of the New Mexico constitution being too radical" {" said Mir. Allen. The convention of tnH territory is dominated by the republican machines which will fol- low any suggestion which might come from Washington. There has been some talk about the initiative and ref erendum at Santa Fe and the demo crats and a number of the republican delegates favor the direct legislative plan, but those in control of the con vention will not permit anything Of the kind to go into the constitution. {"
 Mir. Allen says that New Mexico has made great advancement during the last few years and many of the counties have received many new corners and much land has been ta- ken as homesteads throughout the territory.
 It is the opinion of Mir. Allen that the republican bosses may frame a constitution SO intensely conservative and negligent of the people that 1, will be voted down when submitted l for ratification.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM BEING INSTALLED.

DOUGLAS, Oct 36.-(SpeciaD-
 It is expected that by tomorrow active work will start in the installa- ton of the Gamewell fire alarm sys- tenn which the. city council contract. ed for some time since. The repre- sentative of the company ts in the city and has already engaged four men. three linemen and an extra man and a soon a wire and nails arrive the men may start work. The ma chlnery was shipped from the fac tory in Massachusetts on September 90. and is now expected to arrive in the city at any time.
 Superintendent BrowH 2f the Gamewell company stated today that he expected that the system would be installed fir about three weeks. This is dependent upon the arrival of the freight from the East, but if this is here at the time expected about three weeks will see the sys- tenn installed. The arrival of wire should not be later than tomorrow and then the work will be started at once.
 When the new fire alarm system shall have been installed Douglas will be one of the best equipped cit. ies in the territory. Its fire de partment now ranks with the bes, and may be still further improved | if the combination hose and chamical truck shall be purchased as Is ad vocated by Chief Nemeck. This is being considered by the committee oi the council which has the matter un der investigation. It is claimed that wherever used this truck is a grea saving in expense, and works witi universal satisfaction. By installing one here the department could dis pense with one team and with feet at the price it is here this would b' Ian important matter. ~
 There has only been one matter il which Douglas has been behind in it! fire fighting department and this ha. been the telephone system for giv ing alarms. There is always dange of a location being wrongly named I and wrong alarm blown, but il this respect the city has been fortu nate, as such mistakes have been re markedly infrequent. This dahge will be obviated with the new alarn service and the city will have thu best obtainable.

COUNTRY CLUB DIRECTORS OF
 DOUGLAS BEGIN SEASONS WORK

DOUGLAS, Oct 26.-(SpeciaD-
 The board of directors of the Coun- try club held it's regular monthly meeting last night and transacted business of considerable importance to the members, and showed that an active winter is planned. The re ports of various committees which were received were particularly sat isfactory and gratifying.
 That the financial condition of the Douglas country club is gratifying is shown by the fact that at the next meeting action will be taken look ing towards the reduction of the clubs Indebtedness either by the taking up of some of the outstanding bonds which were issued when the club house was built, or toward the retirement of some of the stock or both The statement of the clubs finances presented last night would seem to warrant this and action on the matter will be speedily taken, probably at the next meeting.
 Another committee report which means much to the members is that the privileges of the club houses of the Bougias, Warren and Fl Paso clubs are now extended at each club to the members of the others. This means that a member of the Doug las club is no longer a mere guest when he visits at Warren or Fl Paso. He has the same privileges there which he has at home and when he desires refreshments or oth-

This is a matter which was proposed by Douglas and successfully carried through by the committee of the local club.
 The sports and pastimes committee reported that arrangements had been made to resume goifing relations with Warren for the coming season, that twenty-men team match would be played early in December and that others would follow.
 The entertainment committee show ed that golf will not be the only source of amusement for the Douglas Country club members and outlined a bridge whist program. The first of the bridge contests will start early in November, and during the coming so- cial season there will be three series of six evenings each, with trophy for each series, the winners of these three series to play at the close of the third for season trophy. It wa salso announced that the open ing dance would be held on Friday evening of this week and that there would be a golf dinner at the club house tonight

GUARD HOLDS MEETING
DOUGLAS, Oct. 26.-(Specia

DOUGLAS, Oct. (Special)-
 Company G, National Guard of Ari- zona. held its first regular meeting since the muster last night in the Armory on Tenth street, and the
 number showed that interest in the new militia company is decidedly on the increase. Since the muster night
 number of others have joined the
 company and most of these were
 present last night. Indications now
 are that the full complement will shortly be obtained.
 The especial business at the meet ing of the company last night was the physical examination of the ap-
 plicants and the taking of measure
 ments for suits. So far as can be learned all succeeded in satisfactor. fly meeting the physical require
 ments as examined by Dr. Greene Thirty-five of the company were
 measured for uniforms and the order for these will be forwarded to head quarters at Phoenix.
 There was little attempt at drill
 made last night; this will come later under the direction of the more ex- perienced members, who will be se- lected as drill masters. each to handle squad. There are a number of members of the Douglas company that have already had military ex- perience in the militia of other states and these will be valuable assist ants to the officers.
 The particularly pleasant feature of the meeting last night was the en- thusiasm shown by the men. The membership is made up from among the highest quality of Douglas citi-
 zenship and as time progresses the l city will realize fully the advantages attached to having a company of militia here. while the members will also appreciate the social and other
 advantages which membership brings
 them.

COUNTY UNIT.

Nearly half of the Legislative
session is passed and not one bill
has been passed by both houses.
Much work should be accomplish
ed: but there is an IF" If the
Senate Committee on Religion and
Morals will report the County
Unit bill and not kill it in commit
tee there will be something doing.
Forty members of the House re-
gard this measure as very impor-
tant and have pledged themselves
to block legislation if the County
Unit bill is not fairly and honora-
bly, dealt with in the Senate. If
that committee persists in its gag
rule they will receive the censure.
Democracy may get blacker eye
than it now has if it's Senators re-
fuse to meet the issue fairly.
Again we repeat: II the major
ity of the Senators are for or
against the County Unit bill give
them a chance to say so.
If Democrats persistently refuse
advance conviction in favor of
County Unit they will have to
grapple with a Statewide prohi-
bition problem. If Democratic
leaders are as wise as they are sup
posed to be they will line up with
the temperance forces and at least
give the bill fair chance.

INSTITUTE NOTES.
New Teacher Called Home.

Owing to enfeebled health, Miss

been a valuable teacher with Prof.
Cord, rendered her resignation.
Prof. Cord engaged as a substitute
Miss Josephine Osborne, of John
son City, Tenn, an A. B. gradu-
ate of Michigan University. Miss
Osborne arrived in our city on
Sunday night to begin work. On
Monday morning, during chapel
exercises, a dispatch came, telling
of the dangerous sickness of her
mother. She left for home on the
2 o'clock train. Miss Whaley is
yet here, and may assist in the
College until definite report comes
relative to Miss Osborne's return.
At the beginning of the Xmas

at present it is 176, and more will
enter. ~'''"

charges for persons over s years
$40 each, and for children 1915

BLOCKING LEGISLATION

The opponents of the county
unit bill at Frankfort are using
every device known to the leger-
domain of politics for avoiding a
vote on the county unit bill.
The friends of the measure are
willing to face the public on the
record. They insist that the bill
be brought to a vote. After a
struggle of week the bill was
finally sent to the cemetery. 1t
was said that the bill had been put
to Sleep. go.
But it seems that friends of the
county unit bill are not without
their own resources. This move
ment has disturbed the opponent
of the measure very greatly and
the Couripr-Journal, the organ Of
the whisky combine, manifests
this apprehension.
Forty members of the House
have signed a paper pledging
themselves to work and vote
against the passage or considera-
ton of any measure coming from
the Senate until the county unit
bill now in the Senate shall have
been called up and placed upon
it's final passage.
This is an unusual course, but
the situation is unusual. 1t is out
of the ordinary, but the methods
used to prevent action in the Sen
ate on this bill are out of the ordi-
nary.
The real friends of the county
unit bill propose to use the power
conferred upon them TO get from
the Senate Committee a report on
this measure. The men who are
blocking legislation are the men
composing the Committee on Re-
ligion and Morals in the Upper
House. They are not asked to re-
port fayorably. They are not
asked to vote for the measure.
The demand is made upon them by
the friends of this measure for fair
play, and if they will play fair the
obstruction will disappear at once.

MT. STERLING,

The Ways and Means Commit
tee of the Lexington City Coug-
ell at a meeting on Friday snigbe
favored an ordinance appropriat-
ing $544,576 for city expenses for
this year, an excess of $4,000
over last year. There is at pres
emit a floating debt of $4,000.
The tax rate last year was $1.73.
The contemplated rate for this
year is $3.50 the limit under the
law. To meet some of this in
crease and deficit, an effort is pc
ing made to increase saloon license
from $3.50 each to $500. The in
crease is opposed by saloon men.

RAIDED A SALOON.

On Sunday Mayor Polserove,
of Frankfort, attended by the po-
lice broke open the door of apart

the proprietOrs of the saloon and
room above and seized a case of
whisky. Bystanders were not ar
rested. Admission had been re-
fused the police; they reported to
Mayor, who finding the door lock-
ed and being refused admittance,
broke open the door.
The Mayor acted under authOri-
ty of section 3297 Kentucky Stat
