Nest Successful Affair
The invitation smoker OF the Doug
las Elks TO the Bisbee herd was one
OF the most successful affairs that was
ever undertaken in Cochise county
and those who attended il are unanl-
mously agreed on one point at least
and that is that the good effects re-
sulting from the get together meet
ing are far reaching in effect, going
out beyond lodgedom and into me
| business life of the two communities
/ producing a harmony and unity OF
| spirit, q better acquaintance and an
understanding that has been absent
I between the two cities in the past.
| A gathering OF 50 many representa-
I tive men Of the two cities in good
4 fellowship could hardly result other
wise than in q closer relationship
along all the lines Of business and
civic life.
/ Many EIks in Line
/ Before eight o'clock Saturday even
/ ing the Copper Queen band was play
I ing in front OF the Elks home At
4 first the antlered ones gathered slow
/ Is and IL appeared that the crowd
( would prove a disappointment but
soon they began to arrive in lunches
/ and there was & genuine rush for
f. tickets and badges. At S:lG the signal
to leave was given, the band struck
] up a march and with flaring red torcG-
es the paraders started down Main
street through crowds that extended
from building walls out beyond the
curbs and into the street.
Train Starts at $50 o'clock
Promptly at $3.50 the train depart
ed and reached Douglas on schedule
time. At the station the visitors were
met by great crowd, not only Elks
but interested onlOokers.
There were many automobiles and
a dense crowd all about the station
building. The Ninth Cavalry band
was playing inspiriting music and IN,
Ger the direction of the Douglas EIk5
the parade was formed. Marching
= in twos. with red fire throwing a lur,
id glare above them, the parade-s
formed a line five blocks long. And
{ / it seemed that all Douglas was Oh
70 the street to see the union OF the
two cities.

z suddenly became decidedly serious.
