OF
CHINA VISIT
in DOUGLAS

d. w. Swift of Tientsin, China, re-
ceived an auspicious Introduction to
Arizona politics Wednesday night when,
in the first political meeting he has at
tended in America, he heard Senator
Ralph H. Cameron speak in the Grand
theatre at Douglas. Mr. and Mrs. Swift
are the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. r. L..
Hoyal, 1860 Eleventh street Mrs. Swift
and Mrs. Hoyal are sisters. Senator
Cameron and Mr.. Swift enjoyed few
minutes interesting conversation when
they were introduced.
Swift is distinguished attorney
and is the chief representative of the
Standard Oil company in the Orient.
Although he is an American by ma
tionality, he was born in Japan, has
lived many years in the Orient and
speaks both Japanese and Chinese flu
emily. He and Mrs. Swift visit the
United States about once each three
years and will visit Mrs. Swift mother
at Honolulu upon their return from
America.
"I am tremendously impressed by
Douglas and the great southwest" "
Swift states. although 1 have visited
several times in America, l have spent
most of that time in the larger cities.
am very much interested in the cop
per industry and am very glad to have
an opportunity to spend some time in
Douglas"
Mrs Swift, before her marriage, was
in charge of the American school in
Pel1ipg. A number of interesting So
cial events have been planned by Mr..
and Mrs. Hoyal for Mr.. and Mrs. Swift
while they are in Douglas. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hoyal motored to Phoenix to meet
the visitors Sunday and took them for
an extended visit to the Roosevelt
dam. The Swifts expect to sail Sep
tember 25, but will spend some time
visiting on the Pacific coast before
that time.

FINE SERVICE
ON ELECTION
BY DISPATCH

opinion was unanimous among Doug
las people yesterday that the election
returns bureau established by the
Douglas Daily Dispatch to furnish cleo
tion news after the election Tuesday
was a tremendous success. Hundreds
of persons remained in the bureau
headquarters, 1866 G avenue, until a
late hour Tuesday night. While many
of the returns were not complete, be-
cause of the heavy vote and the neces-
sary time required to tabulate the vote
the result of practically every contest
except that between Lewis Douglas and
Amos Belts for congressman, was
known to the people comparatively
early.
That the bureau was such a success
was due in large measure to the
courteous assistance of A. A. Sundin
manager of the Mountain States Tele-
phone company at Douglas. special
exchange was installed at the bureau
by the telephone company, with con-
nections to all outlying sections of the
county and state. The exchange, OPP
Grated by Sundin and May Rose Thomp-
son, chief operator from the Douglas
exchange, secured prompt reports from
these sections, and except for a storm
that occurred in the Chiricahuas Tues
day. would have had reports on every
precinct in this vicinity.
A special Associated Press leased
wire, operated by DR.. c. j. Wilkerson
and j. L. Buckley, manager of the
Western Union Telegraph office and
connecting with the Bisbee Review,
Arizona Republican, Arizona Gazette,
Prescott Courier, Tucson Citizen, Ari-
zona Daily Star and other newspapers
in this section, furnished both state
and local election news as rapidly as
the votes could be tabulated.
A feature of the bureau that brought
much favorable comment was the huge
election blackboard installed by the
Douglas Dispatch, on which the returns
were posted as soon as received.
Through the courtesy of S. p. Apple
white, large building at 1855 G ave-
nue. was secured as an election bureau
headquarters, and hundreds of COM
Portable chairs installed by the Douglas
Dispatch enabled the people to watch
the election returns without discom-
fort.

QUEENS
FIRST AID TEAM
BACK in CITY

The first aid team of the Copper
Queen m tie r. which represented
Douglas at the international contest of
first aid teams held under the auspices
of the United States bureau of mines
in San Francisco last week, returned
to Douglas Monday. The members of
the team, although regretting that they
failed to win prizes in the international
meet, are pleased that they won second
place in the state standing and were
able to make a creditable showing
against teams from all parts of the
world.
The Copper Queen team was ninth in
the international meet standing. In the
state team standing, the percentage of
the carious teams was as follows:
Morenci, go; Douglas, 961.5; Jerome,
950.5; Bisbee, $50, and Ray, $50. The
Bisbee team took first honors in the
mine rescue contest, in which the
Douglas team did not participate.
The loss of a contest to Morenci @re
vented the Douglas team from getting
a chance to win the large Phelps Dodge
trophy. Had the Douglas team beaten
Morenci in the first contest it would
have been paired with Bisbee in the
final contest for the main trophy The
Douglas team is composed of Grover
G. Shook, captain; Grady Causey, W. F.
Lindsay, F. o. Woodham, A. H. David
son and Luis Vasquez
""The team was treated royalty by
the Phelps Dodge Corporation Cap
tain Shook states, land we felt honored
that we represented ts1e Phelps Dodge
corporation when we learned of the
high respect this company commands
among the representatives of the other
companies. There is no question but
that the Phelps Dodge corporation is
considered one of the leading: COM
panies in the development of safety in
operation" ,4,
The Douglas team will continue to
operate and expects to win more honor
at the next meeting, which will prob
ably be held at some point in the east.
The prizes for the contest were award
ed last Saturday during big banquet
held at the Palace hotel under the aus
pices of the bureau of mines, in which
the members of all the teams partici-
pating were guests.

increase being in the state of Cali
fornia. This is the more interesting
because, due to the prevalence of the
foot -and-mouth disease in that state,
it was necessary to kill over $4,000
deer on the Stanislaus national for
est.
Considering the comparatively small
area within the White mountain ma
tional forest the major portion Of
which is in New Hampshire, togeth-
er with the density of population in
the region surrounding it and the
tremendous number of summer visi-
tors it has every year, it is interest
ing to learn that there are over
1000 deer existing within that one
national forest.
Increases are generally believed to
be due to local conditions such as
unsatisfactory hunting seasons, bet
ter enforcement of game laws, des-
truction of predatory animals by gov
ernment or state hunters, and in two
or three of the states complete pro-
hibition of hunting owing to danger
from forest fires.
The total kill of deer by local hunt
ers as reported will not run much
over ten per cent of the herds. As
suming that the number of hunters
in the hills and their kill are approx
imately correct, apparently only about
one out of every three hunters who
went into the forests last fall was
successful. Our men attribute this
to the autos and extension of roads
which now bring thousands of new
inexperienced hunters into the woods.
Elk
Elk continue to increase in num-
bers. In a number of the states
been made in recent years they have
increased so rapidly that the state
game authorities in both Utah and
South Dakota have announced a spec
ial open season during which a limit
ed number could be killed. The gov
ernment has also been forced to dis?
pose of a large number of elk within
fenced game refugees, where the ami
mails had so increased in numbers
that it was absolutely necessary to
make reductions to prevent overgraz-
ing and possibly losses from lack of
forage.
Mountain Sheep and Mountain Goats
These animals generally are hold
ing their. own, in spite of the pre-
valent feeling that they are in dan
ger of complete extinction. 1t is the
belief of many persons that the graz
ing of domestic sheep in the higher
ranges of some of the western for
ests where both these animals are
found imperils the future of the wild
sheep and goats. The forest service
is restricting grazing. where there is
the least possibility of competition
between the domestic stock and these
wo classes of wild game.
