DOUGLAS BEGINS ID DISCUSS
 BASEBALL
Douglas Internationally )


 What will Douglas do in the mat ter Of providing baseball for the low CTS of the national game in this city2 That is the question which is now prominent in the minds of the army of Douglas fans who have made this city prominent in baseball circles of the Southwest during the past three years. The season last year was somewhat disastrous because of the fact that all the cities in the Cactus league became entirely too extravagant in the matter of desiring too high priced players. This trouble is now fully realized by Douglas and Bisbee. especially where 8 deficit re- mains as it's result.
 It has been proposed 10 organize a league this season by hooking up the teams of Bisbee. Douglas. Cana nea and Tucson. leaving Fl Paso to look elsewhere for companion play CTS Clifton and Morenci would of course be included in the new league as they were in the Cactus league.
 Clifton and Morenci have always been able to hold their own with other teams in the old Cactus league, and neither have ever had any high priced players; these teams have been made up from the local players Of these two towns, employed in other occupations. Why cannot Douglas and Bisbee provide good ball teams on the same plan? There is no reason why this cannot be done Al that is required is effort
 High salaried ball players foI Douglas will be beyond the reach oi Douglas during the coming season but that need not prevent Douglas from having a creditable ball team.
 The Y. M C. A. bah team ir Douglas contains some excellent players and with practice might ns douot become the equal of the teams which were maintained here during the Cactus league days. Many be lieye that with the encouragement and backing of our baseball fans thii team would be perfectly able to tak' its place in the new proposed leagu' and win honors for Douglas. anS there would be more real local in terest in a purely home team thai in one made of sO-called profession ais. many of whom are unreliable ant prone to look too much on the win when it is red.
 Douglas must have some organizs ton to promote the national game il this city during the coming season and we believe that the Y. M. c. team should be the nucleus for tn rally of every fan in the Sulphu Springs valley.

DEMAND FUR HOMES E
 EVIDENT
Douglas International)

Mexico the real estate men of Doug las have had unusual demand for houses here during the last two months, coming from good class of citizens who formerly resided in Mexico, but Who have come here for the purpose of avoiding thepossible danger or being drawn into the in. surrecton trouble. possible by i'm. precision Into the federal army or drawn into he trouble in some way. These people are not disposed to join in the effort to overthrow the Diaz government neither do they desire to take up arms in it's defense and many of them being well-to-do. prefer to cross the border until such time as the trouble may come to an end.
 Yesterday H. E. Dugan declared that there was not a single good res idence to be found vacant in the city, and that many of the inferior buildings had been reluctantly taken by families from Mexico, who would have preferred something better. T hare no doubt" said Mir Dugan, that fully fifty families from various points in Mexico south of Douglas. have taken houses in Douglas since the insurrecto troubles appeared iE that country, and l am receiving two and three applications every day"
 W. s. Dixon had the same re port to make concerning the COZ. dition, and said that all bis better class of houses had been taken.
 Some of these people are welI-to- 6o in the localities from which they come, but thero are also families coming out of Mexico who are poor and will have to find employmen, i here or become destitute. While rentals have been good on account of the arrival of the families from Mexico it is certain that the insur. rection in Mexico is costing Douglas heavily in the injury to almost every other line Of business.
 It is simply impossible to attract any one from this country to any business enterprises in Mexico un. der Spresent conditions and this un fortunate condition must continue un. til the trouble comes to an end and this is not yet in sight
 T am informed that the North Tigre Mining company was about ready to begin the erection of a mill on its property when the insurrecto trouble began to attract attention, but now this, like other enter prises. remains al an absolute standstill.v
 The E. R. Pirtle company has also been besieged by Mexican families in search of houses. Mir. PirtIe said he had rented many houses to incom- ing families from Mexico: rented three yesterday and received three applications this morning which will be looked after today
 "of course the insurrecto trouble is hurting all business in Douglas, but do not expect it to continue indefinitely Up to the present time the Mexican government seems % have been paying very little attention to the disturbed condition, either be cause the government officials have not fully realized the seriousness oi it. or because the lack of war ia cilities to suppress it, but 1 feel sure that matters will be brought to a head in the. rear future. when some thing definite will be done to end the trouble. The whole insurrectC trouble has been been a farce up tC the present time. but I do not be lieve it will be allowed to so con tinue for an indefinite time.

TO AID Big REUNION
Attorney General Norwood Starts a
Fund in Behalf OF His Home
TOwn-List Started Here.

Cities and towns all over Arkan-
sas are aiding in providing funds
for the entertainment of the Ma
tional Reunion of Confederate Vet
Grams at Little Rock next month.
Mena, so far, has not done anything
to aid in this great event.
OF this Attorney General Hal l..
Norwood writes to a Mena friend:
Il was told yesterday that Mena
had not yet contributed anything
toward the entertainment of the
reunion. This is too bad. | do not
know of another town Of its size in
the state that has not contributed
from one hundred TO several hun
bred dollars. | not only would re-
greet to see Mena fail to come across
with a reasonable contribution be-
cause it is my home town, but also
because the camp here is named
Camp Shaver in honor of a eiti-
zen Of Mena.
The committee has assessed me
here with 500, which l have paid,
and | will head the list over there
with $40 more. | call your atten-
tion to this matter, because |
thought perhaps you had over
looked it. The reunion will be the
biggest event that has ever oc-
Cured, or perhaps that will ever
occur in the state of Arkansas, and
our people cannot afford, for the
sake of pride, if nothing else, to
fail to do their part toward the
entertainment of Arkansas guests
upon this occasion"
For the purpose of furthering
this good movement The Star will
open column for contributions.
Here is the list to date:
Hal l.. Norwood. $1,000
Farmers and Merchants Bank 500
Cox Wholesale Grocery Co.. 500

COVE CATCHES.

Rev. c. w. Burks preached at the

Another Ft. Smith hunting party
arrived Sunday and left for the Glover
creek country in Oklahoma.
A fine rain fell here Monday, which
will prove a great benefit to corn that
has been planted, early potatoes, etc.
The Fit. Smith hunting party that
met with an accident March 26, re-
turned Sunday and left for home on
the afternoon train. The party will
return in a short time and seek other
hunting grounds.
Nearly all the farmers in this part
of the county are well along with
their spring work, and most of them
have finished planting corn. Where
blowing was done during the winter
or early spring the soil has been in
splendid condition for planting, and
all signs are favorable for a big corn
crop.
Rev. A. r Boycan preached his
first sermon at the town hall last
Sunday morning to a good audience,
and at the evening service he was
greeted by one of the largest crowds
that ever attended religious services
in the town. Rev. Boycan is over II
years of age. but he does not look to
be over go, and he is one of the ablest
preachers that ever filled a pulpit in
Cove.
The removal Of w. B. Barton and
X. Golf from Cove caused two vacan-
cies in the school board which were
filled last week by the appointment Of
j. I. Dempsey to take Mr.. Barton
place for the short term and 0. B.
Witherspoon TO take Mr. COTS place
for the long term. 1t is to be hoped
that the new board will take some
strenuous steps toward enforcing the
truancy law, as there are too many
boys and girls out of school without
good cause.
The new train service will prove
great convenience to many of our
citizens who have business in Mena,
either on account of court matters or
in the shopping line, as they can 90
up on the Traveller and get back the
same day. 1t is now up to the busi-
ness men of Mena to offer special in
ducements to people along the line to
come and see them.
The school contest held at the
school house last Friday night to
attend the gold medal contest to be
held at Granniss April 81, attracted
great crowd and afforded a most

and other pleasing features. In the
