 OF DOUGLAS INTEREST

The building oI railroad from the timber belts on tine west slope ] or the Sierra Madre mountains in Sonora, the building of saw mills in the city of Douglas and the trans fer of large tract of timber land
 to the Pearson syndicate. now own tug the various enterprises origl- nally promoted by the late Col. w. iC. Greene, is the objects involved in deal on which Orson Brown. of Colonia Morales. Is now deyOt- ing his entire time and has been for several motnas, says the lnterna- tioBai
 Mr. Broen arrived in the city last night, accompanied by Mr. Plum mer who has been with Mir. Brown in Mexico looking over the timber and proposed railroad route These gentlemen come to Douglas for the purpose of meeting representa- tive of the Pearson company, who arrived this morning and left inn mediately after breakfas:.
 Alr Brown and one of the party who arrived in the city yesterday. purchased camping equipment and supplies here last night and left this morning at day light with B r. Nc Gee in an automobile for the tim ber land in the Sierra Madres. whic, is the object of the party that gol lowed later this morning in an automobile driven by Johnny Sec, The distance from Douglas 10 tht timber lands, which have long been regarded as of great value. Is fifty to sixty miles. Mir Scott stated this morning that he could run his automobile 10 inc edge of this tim Der easily.
 This proposition is not new one, as Colonel Greene had includ ed in his great plan of development in Chihuahua and surveys were made for a railroad from Douglas, which would pass through this tim Der tract and make connection at Guzman, a station on the Mexico Northwestern.
 It ought not be n very expensive proposition 10 build a railroad over a route which can be trayersed in an automobile and the great mar kets which are at hand for tim her that could be cut in this ci y from logs brought across from Mex leo free from duty should make this combination of railroad. mill and timber enterprises attractive tO any one having the required money Co put it through.

 from the east side; the mining dis tricts of BisboC. Clifton MUrenci Cauanea and Nacuzari would cen sume every slick Of his timber for many years to come at splendid . prices. not counting the other grow ling demands for timber for com mercial purposes in this growing section Of the southwest.
 [ Douglas would be the recipient Of | a veritable boom that would come with the inauguration of the enter prises that are now included ia the
 objects of Orson Brown and his as- sOciates The timber lands were only recently acquired by Mir Brown
 and the fact that he has been able
 to attract the attention of tbe | Pearson people so soon and have
 them send representatives 10 I0ok over tue situation, IS evidence thal good progress is being made. The timber mills that would be required here would employ hundreds of men besides greatly reduce the cost Oi
