MAN
TALKS ON need
OF HOTEL HERE

That a new hotel for tourists here,
such as that proposed by local business
men, is a vital necessity to Douglas
is the opinion of ]. NJ Sparks, of Phoe-
nix, former resident of this city, who
has Just returned from an extensive trip
through the east. Sparks not only
speaks from the viewpoint of one who
has sounded eastern opinion concern
ing Douglas location as a winter re-
sort, but from that of successful
building contractor, who knows the
cost and requirements of hotels.
"All through the larger cities of the
east, the people are beginning to hear
and talk about Arizona's climate and
the location of Douglas as winter re-
sort" Sparks states. "They are i'm
pressed by the advertising campaign
being conducted by the Borderland Cli-
mate club and the fact that Arizona
enjoys sunshine every day and that
golf can be played the year round.
Invariably, their first question is about
hotel accommodations here.
"My idea is that a properly located
hotel, with cottages for tourists and a
big dining room in connection, would
pay big here. think that such hotel
should be built so that additional cot
tages can be added as the demand in
creases.
"I would suggest first class tourist
hotel, such as the San Marcos, at Cham
dler, or the Ingleside Inn, at Phoenix.
/ believe that such a hotel could be
built for 100000, and that if the peo-
pie at home subscribe for half of the
cost, the remaining half can easily be
procured through the sale of bonds.
"There is no question but that Doug
las and in fact, all of Arizona, needs
more such hotels. This is due to the
increasing automobile travel, which is
bringing more and more tourists into
the country every year. Prescott is
planning new $250,000 hotel, Mesa is
planning one to cost 100000, and
Douglas should do likewise. If these
other cities can do this, why not Doug
las, which enjoys certain advantages
that these other cities do not have.
"As to a site for such a hotel, /
would suggest a point east of the city,
probably in the vicinity of the military
range, where suitable golf links can be
bought at reasonable price for land.
Most all the people coming here will
have automobiles, and will prefer a
hotel so located
Sparks resided in this city for many
years, coming here at the time the
townsite was being laid out, and built
many of the more important buildings
in Douglas. He moved to Phoenix only
a few years ago and stopped over in
Doug as for a visit with relatives
while returning from a trip through
the east, during which he visited Kan
sas City, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Phila-
delphia, Atlantic City mad other points.

to Bay Shore in Chesapeake Bay, a
distance of "a miles. She was accom-
panied by one of her Chesapeake Bay
hounds. After that event she an
nounced that she would come to
France and try to conquer the chan
mel.
Since her arrival here in May Miss
Cannon has been training hard for
the attempt and had made several
long distance swims in the cold wat
ers Of the channel. She was one of
