 Social Supremacy.
 The social Douglas ranks in tho very front of the cities of Arizona Nothing can exceed in smartness and brilliancy the functions given at the Country club and the Gadsden hotel The tennis courts at the Country club are a veritable mecca for the young and oyer-vigorous, and the golf links offer an irresistible recreation for the mature and sedate.

 1t should not be held out to the homeseeker or prospective settler, however. that the Sulphur Springs val ley possesses land that will yield up .its wealth spontaneously and without hard work. It would be well that it
 hould be fully understood that the valley lies wholly outside of the ba- mana belt. and that capital, if not ab- solutely necessary, is at least one of the best guarantees of success in val ley ranching
 But no one can doubt that the val ley. in the fulness of time, win prove Ito be a great agricultural community, and as such. a potential factor in the support, upbuildiug and future growth of Douglas

 The Soldiers Help.
 Although due to a temporary cause, Douglas, with her suburbs, now pos sesses the largest population of any city or district in the county. The near 45OO soldiers stationed in Doug. las have given a great impetus 10 business locally The retention of this large force indefinitely in Douglas can scarcely be hoped for; but strong and concerted effort is making lok. ing to the permanent stationing here of a force of from 100 to 12OOO

 The banking facilities of Douglas are entirely adequate. The iustitu- tions now conducting that business are of Gibrallarian sounduess, solven- cy and solidity One of the banks of Douglas has been deBignated as a branch of the Federal Reserve Bank.
 Modern Buildings.
 The buildings and business blocks of Douglas, even in this early stage of her existence, are of unusually creditable kind When one sees a sta. ton like the one the F.

 The Tucson Farms company have
 developed between ten and twelve thousand acres of valley land, all of which is being colonized by eastern and middle western farmers who are leaving the country of ice, snow and floods to work under more favorable conditions-farmers who want to raise crops twelve months in the year instead of six and secure for them- selves and their families the benefits of an ideal all-the-year-round climate in a progressive community well sup piled wit hthe best schools and chaurches

 Mining and Cattle
 The copper mining idustry first contributed O the railroad tonnage and was the primary cause ol the u- da-uaI development of this inland southwest country Today the region .or which Tucson is tne center is tae richest copper producne district in the world This district produces more than half of the s7O. 000o00 annual output of the state. yef eminent -eoIogists and mining engI- neers state that the surface has.

But Jhero has been added 10 Tucson's resources in the past three years one which will soon be equally as valuable as her mines and cattle Water has been found in sufficient quantity to irr gate the former waste lands which surounede the city. This means that instead of the money which poured into the city's business channels betn. in turn poured out for foodstufGs for the California markets the mon will be paid to farmers raising t. produce at Tucson and win in ru bo turned back into circulation in fr. city and be deposited in our hanks

fire LAST NIGHT
Quilted GROCERY
Of c. ". PHILLIPS

The grocery store Of G. w. Phil
lips in the Bassett building was
completely Quilted by fire last night
shortly after 10 o'clock. Mystery
surrounds the origin of the fire as
passers-by testified that five minutes
before the alarm was sent in no fire
was seen in the building. At the time
the alarm was sounded the plate
glass windows had blown out into
the street, the rear windows were
gone and the interior of the store
was a seething mass of fans, which
indicated that some kind of an ex-
plosion had taken place. The fire de-
partment reached the scene before
the whistl sounded and worked he
roically, but none of the stock could
be saved, and all that could be done
was to prevent the fire from spread
ing.
Mr.. Phillips states that he had a
$4,000 stock of groceries and his in
surance amounts to $4,000. Mr.. Bias.
sett sustained loss Of several hun.
dred dollars-the exact amount was
not obtainable, all of which was pro-
tected by insurance.
