HOUSING SHORTAGE Is
BECOMING MORE ACUTE
SAYS C. OF C. OFFICE

For the first time since the World
war the city of Douglas is facing an
acute shortage of houses. Through the
chamber of commerce and through the
various real estate offices of the city
a search is being instituted for houses
that can be rented. The demand for
houses not only exceeds the supply,
but the official statement of chamber
of commerce officials late yesterday
was that the demand has absolutely
exhausted the supply so far as they
can ascertain.
Anyone having a house, either fur
nished or unfurnished, or partly fur
nished, which they desire to rent is
requested and urged to list it at once
either with the chamber of commerce
or with one or all Of the real estate
offices of the city, as the lack of ac-
commodations is becoming serious
George B. Doubleday, secretary of the
chamber of commerce, reported Tues
day that he was forced to turn away
number of persons seeking houses
and that two houses which We're listed
with him early in the day were taken
before noon. While the average house
hunter wants furnished dwelling,
there is also demand for partly fur
nished houses and unfurnished houses.

freight train at College Peak sunday
morning, was shipped to the home OF
his mother, Mrs. Minerva Walter, at
Argus. Ind, Tuesday afternoon by the
Porter and Ames mortuary who cared
for the body after it was brought to
Douglas. Welter's home address was
given as Fort Wayne, Ind, but the
body is being shipped to Argus at the
request of relatives
An inquest held in the city hall Sum
day afternoon under the direction of
Justice of the Peace Sam Yarnell rem
dered a verdict that Welter came to
his death accidentally while trying to.
catch the train. Members or the train
crew did not see Welter until after the
accident, when the train had been
flnaged' down by Welter's companions.
Witnesses at the inquest agreed that
Welter met his death while playing at
catching the train, as he had no i'm
tention of riding it into Douglas
Welter was employed as a ground
man with Western Union line gang
engaged on stringing new wires east
of Douglas, whose quarters are in box
cars spotted" on siding near College
Peak. Welter was q veteran of the
world war and took part in all five of

did during the fall months of last
year is indicated by the monthly re-
ports of w. w. Windham, freight and
passenger agent for the Southern Pa
cific railroad. In an Interview on
Monday with Dispatch reporter,
Windham said that his reports showed
an increase of 95 per cent in the ship
ments into this city of merchandise in
less than carload lots for the month
of November this year over the month
of November of last year.
He said that these figures were a
very reliable indication that the mer-
chants are buying heavily. The figures
for October of this year for shipments
of less than carload lots show an in
crease of 43 per cent over a year ago.
Windham states that he uses the fig
ures on shipments of less than carload
lots because the larger shipments may
be of mining or smelling machinery
and might occur only once in a year
while the figures for the smaller ship
mentA are purely of merchandise and
are an accurate indication of condi-
tions.

Directors Believe
Lead Smelter Here Will
Mean Increased Production

That the construction of new
lead smelter in Douglas by the
Phelps Dodge corporation will mean
increased activity in lead production
in this section was the unanimous
opinion of directors of the Shattuck-
DEM mining corporation, who held
a special meeting in Bisbee Saturday.
Lead ores are in good quantity in
the Bisbee district and there is
every reason to expect increased
production here A. M. Chisholm,
treasurer of the company, stated.
The special meeting of directors
was held to consider the plans of
President Shattuck and Manager Nc
Grath~ for the further development
of the properties. The Shattuck-
DEM Mining corporation was formed
last year, being a consolidation of
the old Shattuck Arizona Mining
company and the DEM Arizona Min
ing company. Shattuck Arizona has
already paid $7,612,5OO in dividends
during the past ten years or $2175
per share. DEM has never been
developed to real production although
the war period saw great amount
of activity and some production there.
Chisholm spoke of the recently
discovered Campbell ore body of the
Calumet & Arizona, an extension of
which has been found in the lower
levels of the Dem shaft. The Shat
tuck shaft also continues to produce
good copper ores. And with the
development of new copper ore bodies
on the lower levels of the DEM
shaft the company is facing a pros
porous period.

Irresistible periods of genuine laugh
