QUEEN SHIPPERS IN ACCEPTANCE OF THE
 [. & A. CHALLENGE
Tug of War Between Bosses of Two Big Companies will be Staged in the Near Flu ture.
Oh you C. & Al

Oh you C. & Al
 The Copper Queen Shifters are req dy. We will pull you for looks. mar bles or chalk. Bring your assistant super for anchor.
 Captain, C. Q. Team.
 The above is self-explanatory and presages some interesting sport dur ing the next couple of weeks. The C.. & A. shifters feel that the Queen boss es have a drubbing coming to them, due principally to the fact that the Queen track team took the measure of the C. & A. track team last Sunday at Warren Park
 No details for the meet have been arranged but it is very possible that the tug of war will be added, as a feature extraordinary, to one of the Sunday ball games in the near future.
 From the excitement the challenge has caused it would be safe in offering the prediction that whether the tug is from cleats or flat footed it will be one of the most hotly contested affairs ev- CT staged in the Warren District.

ELK PREPARATIONS
 BEING RUSHED FOR THE END 0E THE WEEK
Many Decorations Are Now Being Put Up on the Streets of Bisbee. Immense Crowd Is Expected.

These be busy days fer local Elks and the Ladies of Elkdom or at least for those Of them that have in hand the matter of receiving and entertain ing the visiting Elks and the visiting Ladies of Elkdom who will be guests of the district the last three days of the week. And with all there is the spirit of uncertainty as to how large the crowd will be. That it will be large is assured. but how much larger than large, is what the committee workers would like to have assurance.
 While the real decorating of the streets will not be underway until to- day. a commencement was made yes terday when a sig sign of Welcome Flks" went upon the front of the Fair Store and was followed by other and more elaborate decorations on the same front. IL is freely prophesied that never have the streets been so bright and gay as they will appear when the real rush comes on Thusr- day morning.
 All reserve accomodations at the Copper Queen have been taken by visiting Elks far in advance of the
 
 corners will save to be assigned else. where. The roomine committee has received numerous listings and cars will be brought in and tracked for further sleeping accomodations It is probable that some of the lodges will bring their own sIeeping cars.
 Arriving Flks are 10 bn met st the train and tsken to the Flks Club to register If they have no rooms re. served for them they will then be as- signed to rooms. Such registration and locating in the quarters assigned may be expected to take I'D the rorn- ing. After luncheon the first business session will be held Then on husi- ness and sayety will be interwoven .ud intertwired until the week end to the strains of dance music at Vista Park.
 It is said that two sessions of the association will be absolutely neces- sarv The second session. probably. will be held Friday morning to the sacrifice of automobile and sightseeing trins by the delegates.
 The only definite advices as to prob able numbers so far is from Phoenix and over fifty will come from the caD- ital city. Tucson and Douglas are expected to considerably exceed. and Phoenix contingent The probable number from out of town vary from 250 to 500 with some enthusiastic ones prophesyins ever larger crowds. The hour for the parade has been

The local Elks nine has brcn practicing hard and will undertake to give the Tucson Elks their first de feat since the State Association was formed and a ball game became az annual event Championship la are!s are looked upon as q crown fc- E bee
 Plans for the day in Shattuck cave, Saturday, are complete. It will be the first dance with music by full band ever given in this section of the country, if not in the world. or at least, the first time that such an un- der-grounG dance has been held in a mine. An early start will be made from the club Saturday morning for it will take a considerable time tc take the crowd that is expected, down in the cages. Late arrivals will also be accompanied, Mir. Walker states. while he urges promptness and the earliest possible start
 In the entertainment furnished by the Ladies of Elkdom the banquet at the Country Club will be the chief feature. Auto rides will be "on tap for the visiting ladies every day and special arrangements made to take them down to the Country Club for the midday banquet.
 All these matters have required and are requiring much time and attention and the opening sentence of this arti- cle may be repeated, These be busy days"

Joseph Henabery, the actor who DOT trays President Lincoln in D. R. Grif- fith's historical spectacle. "The Birth of Nation" was selected from twen- ty players who were coached and pre- pared for the part before the choice was made MT. Lincoln's appearance and mannerisms were carefully coun- forfeited even to the small but inter- esting detail Of the President reaching back for his shawl just a few minutes before Wilkes Booth attacked him.
 Ii was a spring day in Washington, April IA. 1865, but a late frost had set Tn that night and it was raw and cold. Mr Lincoln felt the chill and drew the shawl around him.
 The first scene in "The Birth of a Nation" showing the War President is of Lincoln signing the call for 75. 900 volunteers. Around him are his Cabinet heads and private secretaries. Lincoln fully realized the momentous character of the act that summoned Federal troops 10 subdue the individu- al sovereignty of rebeilious states Af- ter the deed was done and the attend ing company departed. he slowly bur jed his face in his hands as if in pray CT.
 Another view of Lincoln's character is exhibited in his granting of a par

ADVANCE MOVIES"
 FOR TEAL COMPANY
Musical Stock Organization to Send Moving Pictures Ahead Instead the Pa per.

The first glimpse of the actual mak- ing of movies" was had on Bisbee streets yesterday when Director Fait took several hundred feet of film for the Teal Company. The scenes vera varied and consisted of dancing and acting.
 According to MT Teal, the manager of the company. the film will be used as advance matter for his company in the future. Instead of sending much paper and other advertising matter the Teal organization, when it leaves Bis bee. will send the advance film. This will give the principals and chorus in action and will be thrown upon the screen of the various theatres in which they expect to play.

don. As this scene opens. the sor- geously uniformed diplomatic repre- sentatives are being received by the President. They then depart and he turns to a plain middle-aged woman dressed in sombre black who had been awaiting a hearing She tries to kneel to him. but he gently raises her up and talks 10 her, reads her petition and signs the paper granting to her the life of her son.
 After the AppomattoX surrender the leader of Congress calls with a pro posal to deal harshly with the South for it's rebellion "I shall treat them as if they had never been away" is Lincoln's gentle answer Then. two or three days later comes the awful tragedy in Ford's Theatre. Washing ton, when Southern hopes of clemen- cy are blasted by the assassin Booths maniac act. That great and terrible scene is reproduced in the play in the minutest historical detail. Mir.

AS the news arrived that the radio ship was about to enter
Resurrection Bay to prepare for the establishment of
wireless station bang goes the cable again For some
months back she has been going sleep about once week
regularly She has been out of commission for longer
periods perhaps than she has been i'm commission during
those months and she might very well have lived on the
reputation gained but just her arch enemy the radio
ship came on the scene this cable eschewed politics and d
plomacy and refused to alter her disposition She will

1t is really fortunate mo doubt that the cable goes

A recent issue of Leslie's Weekly calls the Alaska
Government railroad a railroad that will run from An
chorage to Fairbanks Some time ago the publisher Of
Lesies visited Alaska, including Seward in his itinerary
and when he went back home he long articles in his
magazine Then came attacks from at least two Alaska
newspapers and he wrote stating that such attacks
poor return for the efforts he made to advertise the terri
tory Most likely of these attacks has its result now
in cutting out Seward when speaking of the government
railroad
Leslies Weekly may have a grievance against Seward
but after ALL it hardly right to take revenge this way
The publisher did good work in his weups of Alaska and
he should have been thanked instead of being accused of
conspiring with that eternal Guggenheim bugaboo
Now Colonel remember that the vast majority of Alas
kans appreciated your work. and the people of Seward
did particularly Also remember that Seward has been
designated the ocean terminal by the government itself
