ity campaign revealed that one person
out of every ten who sent in an in
quiry actually came to the city, at
least for a visit. Under present hous-
ing conditions, Douglas cannot accom-
modate more than the usual tourist in
flux. Several families have left the
city during the past two weeks, after
coming from distant points, just be-
cause they could not find suitable
quarters suitable for rent.
Tardy and many other business men
of the city have for months urged the
institution of building campaign.
William Sproule, president of the
Southern Pacific, on his visit to the
city few days ago, said that it was
the first time to his knowledge since
the war that a shortage of houses had
existed in Douglas and he added that
he considered it a particularly good
omen.
Unless houses can be provided and
at once, for the newcomers to Douglas
the thousands of: dollars spent by the
Borderland Climate club will have been
wasted Before the club began it's adj
vertising campaign several business
men of the city stated that they would
be willing to build houses if they
could be sure that the advertising
would actually bring results. 1t is
now pointed out that houses must be
built at once if the city is to reap the
greatest benefits from its publicity.
A group of progressive Douglas
business men are. now actively work
ing on plan to erect a large, high
class tourist hotel, to be one of the
finest in the southwest. Men of sound
business judgment now feel, in view
of the interest which is being stimu-
lated throughout the country regard
ing the natural and economic induce
ments which Douglas has to offer, that
a hotel project at this time will prove
successful and be a great factor in
Chamber of commerce officials is
sued an appeal Saturday to owners of
houses which have been allowed to
fall into a state of disrepair to repair
or improve the places so that they
may be available for rent. 1t is esti
mated that more than 20 houses in
the city have been allowed to fall into
such a state of dilapidation that they
are now tenantless, when, if a few
hundred dollars were spent in repairs
or improvements the places could be
rented and would mean a source of
revenue to their owners.
At the chamber of commerce, where
the correspondence of the I3orderland
Climate club is being carried on, 8
special recording system has been
worked out whereby a record of every
person sending in an inquiry will be

gone to look upon the body of his
brother-in-law when he went to New
Brunswick after the bodies of the
slain couple were found, to accom-
pany his sister to the burial of her
husband in New York. The reply was
in the negative, and on redirect eX-
animation his counsel asked him if he
had looked upon his mothers face
after her death. Again the reply was
in the negative, with the explanation
that he wished to remember his mother

PENNILESS GAMBLERS
INVITED TO 4O-DAY
FRENCH PRAYER MEET

PARIS, Nov. Is (P)-Penniless gamb-
icrs have been particularly invited to
40 day prayer meeting in the
mountains just back of Monte Carlo,
the world famous gambling resort
by Jean Buvais, the Sage of Notre
Dame de Lagnet.
Buvais is organizing the meeting
in the hopes of saving Europe from
calamity which he thinks is on
it's way The opening of the meeting
will coincide with that OF the gambl-
ing season and Buvais wants pen
niless gamblers to seek solace in
prayer from the i'll directed shots
Of the little roulette ball
So strong is the Sage of Notre
DANES power over the peasants and
shepherds for miles around that sue,
cess is assured the meeting, even
should every gambler prove prosper
Gus and impenitent.
For 40 years Buvais has been fore
telling the future. His disciples claim
for him a 80 per cent record or
truthful predictions. Until now he
has confined himself to predicting
losses for the roulette adopts and
the fall of French cabinets within
three months.
Jean has now branched out in the
more sensational field of world dis
asters and the prayer meeting Is
called to prevent "the lost continent
CT Atlantis arising from the ocean
and causing the wiclledest section
of the world to disappear"
Jean does not include the little
principality of Monte Carlo among
the wicked and he predicts THAI
Monaco is safe from disaster.

the booklet will unquestionably prove
a,-big factor in bringing many tourists
and new residents to the city.
Now that the effectiveness of the
advertising campaign is definitely as
sured, another serious problem has
confronted the members of the Border
land Climatic club and chamber Of
commerce and the business men of the
city who are interested in the city's
publicity campaign. There can be no
doubt now that many tourists and new
residents are soon to come to Douglas.

Stewards Washington Letter
BY CHARLES p. STEWART

WASHINGTON-W is look
ing forward to a red hot session of
congress this coming winter, as a
sequel to Senator Jim Reeds activ-
tiles as a primary election investi-
gator.
Probably there will be no definite
action until the 10th congress meets,
but there will be plenty of talk in
what's left of the 69th.
1t will be talk, too, in which big
names will figure.
The men to whom the names be-
long are not all involved personally
in the scandals Senator Reed has
been digging into, but at least they've
been referred to in his inquiry, which
will be an excuse for mentioning
them again in debate at the capitol
Senator Watson, Senator Moses,
Senator Mayfield, Imperial Wizard
Evans of the Ku Klux Khan, Post
master General New, eX-Postmaster
General VIII Hays, Ex-Governor Good
rich of Indiana, Everett Sanders
Congressman Ware, Frank L. Smith of
Illinois.
All these are characters, of one
sort or another, in the story Senator
Reed has been developing.
Senator Watson, to be sure, says
the chapter about him is absolutely
false. Sanders, secretary 70 the
president, appears in the narrative
only long enough to declare that
rumors of a political deal between
Watson and Mayfield were ridic
ulous."
Nevtreheless, all these names are
woven into the story's plot and add
interest as big names do.

The fair includes IA big depart
