My Dear Aunt:-I was glad to
hear from you. You are sure strong
on the old-fashioned religion. You
may tell us of church matters. Per-
haps you may have something to
tell us in your next about the Chap
Ell meeting. Some of the things we
write about may not interest you,
but Uncle Timothy says he enjoys
that part. Have you folks paid
your tax? Did you visit the aud
itor? We believe good women like
you should pray for Charley, when
you come to think of what Charley
has to dad, When he is responsible
for all the mistakes of the land
appraisers, the hold-up in rubber,
and Aunt Sarah Ann, on the quiet, |
am. not sure, but [ wouldn't be
surprised that he told John d. to
put that last cent on gas. Praying
may get him through. Willie stood
by his desk for awhile and saw the
throng go by We have studied hu-
man nature. While we are not a
mind reader, especially of women,
we pride ourself on our ability as a
jurist--not as juror. but judge
heard in the office. I'VE didn't get
any pay.) We learned something
about the dos tax and sheep claims.
Somebody changed the law about
when sheep claims are to be paid /
don't know whether it was Harper
or Joe Seaman. l saw Joe fooling
around in there doing something
with hammer. Anyway, formerly
the claims were paid in December.
Now they are paid in June. When
the time came to pay last June,
there had been collected since the
last settlement Sis. Witness fees
which are paid out of the fund first
amounted to S51. The claims
amounted to $99S. The sheep own
ers then received and 40 cents
on the dollar of their claims. Those
whose claims have been filed since
then will share in the spoils of the
annual round up of FidOs of Jan.
to 20. II you are going to have
sheep killed, don't have it during the
period from January to June. Aunt
Sarah Ann you had better tell I'm
Gle Timothy when he lists his sheep
for taxation, to count his culls and
write the word culls in the blank
line in the sheep division, and put
them in at Gull prices, and the good
ones at what they are worth. Don't
make lump job Of them. Don't
T, get any Of those big wethers in the
Gull class What you list them
at is what you will be allowed if
they are kiileS

No robins have been reported as

The new law in regard to town
don't seem to be tickling the new
officers. On account of the in
crease in the duties of the township
clerk, the salary was increased
from $50 to $3.50 per year in Bris-
toll Under the new law you had
better carry an AK with you. If a
tree falls across the road the trus-
tees must meet and certify the job.

Oh yes, we wanted to tell you
that G.. E. Groves who used to preach
in our town on Sunday and was a
living example during the week, has
had big revival with hundred
additions to his church. He now
weighs 200 pounds on the scales, so
you can see he is a big preacher in
at least two ways. Perhaps we had
better quit and let you get Uncle
Timothy something for dinner. We
hope to get in one day when the
complaints are heard. If we do, we
will tell you about it. Yours for a

GERMANS AND ALLIES
STILL DIVIDED UPON
ARMAMENTS PROPOSAL

PARIS, Dec. 13 (P9.-"Still good way
apart" was the term used last night
to describe the position of the Ger
mans and the allies with regard to
settlement of the armaments question.
Allied military experts We're distinctly
pessimistic after the council of ambas-
sadors at a two hour session today fall
ed to get very far in the direction OF
recommending that the control of Ger
man armaments be placed under the dl-
rect jurisdiction of the league of ma
tions, instead of the inter-allied con-
troll commission as at present.
The council of ambassadors simply
drafted new report similar to that
of yesterday and sent it to Geneva
for consideration by the various for
eign ministers gathered there for the
league council. These ministers have
it in their power to accept the claims
of the Germans in good faith and settle
the whole affair, but it is more likely
the ambassadors will be asked to COM
tinue their efforts.

Following an hour of informal dis
cussion of the seriousness of the park
ing an dtraffic situation generally
within the city of Douglas, the city
council came to the conclusion at their
regular meeting on Monday night that
q revision of the traffic and parking
regulations of the city yet rests with
the future. In addition to decision
in this direction, the council agreed
that investigation looking toward the
construction of a number of public rest
rooms in the downtown section of the
city was in order. No definite action
was taken on either proposition.
Routine business occupied the first
few minutes of the meeting, after
which the traffic situation was dis
cussed. The councilmen agreed that
Eleventh street, Tenth street and G
avenue are congested both throughout
the day and until late at night. 1t
was further brought out that certain
alleys in the business district are used
as parking places in direct violation
of the city ordinances and the attention
of police officers was called to this
situation.

IOVFR PRORI FMSEREPORTS AS TO
OF GOVERNMENT ROAD CONDITION

While the only road bulletins avail
able at the Douglas chamber of com
meroe on Monday afternoon from the
Arizona Automobile club stated that
the roads from this state into Califor-
MIA were impossible, reports from
Phoenix dated Monday were to the
effect that all roads in Arizona were
open and that the roads leading out
of this state into California were pass
able but in very rotten condition.
The Arizona Automobile club mott
fled the chamber of commerce here on
Saturday that the roads to the coast
were closed and no further message
has been received directly from them
However, it is generally understood
that the roads have since been partially
opened so that they are passable ex-
cept in a few places where the aid OF
tractors or teams is necessary to pull
cars through.

LIQUOR FOUND
IN CAR SEIZED
BY OFFICIALS

Liquor was quoted at five dollars
a pint at the local offices of the
United states customs service on
Monday but information that there
was no surplus and no sale curtailed
buying to a great extent. Deputy
Collector of Customs Edward Specht
was labelling five pint bottles filled
with a potent substance classed as
mescal On each label he marked $25
Questioning brought out that this
liquor was either the property of a
Bisbee resident or of the United
States government. The liquor, how
ever, was in the governments pos
session and the man was making no
protest. 1t seems that the man was
arrested by customs officers while
transporting this liquor from one
place to another, probably from Mex
leo to his home in Bisbee.

tions of the customs service, to say

RENTALS Go Up
in CITY; MORE
HOMES NEEDED

general raising of rents on houses
and apartments throughout the city
took place on Monday. A canvass or
the different real estate offices dis
closed that the raise had been on
an average of Approximately Is per
cent although no definite scale had
been applied to the additions
lust what the outcome of the situa-
ton is to be, no real estate man
would state but the general con-
census of opinion is that building of
apartments, hotels and homes viii
have to start soon. Employees and
managers of the hotels of the city
reported in several instances Monday
night that they had turned away
enough people seeking rooms to have
filled their hotels twice over. This
circumstance on u Monday night when
travel into the city is at its lowest
ebb for the week indicates the situa-
ton to be acute.
Officials of the Douglas Chamber
of Commerce and Mines and of the
Rorderland Climate club reported
Monday that the shortage of houses
and, hotel accommodations will seri-
lously effect the work of advertising
the city il some steps are not taken
/ at once to relieve the congestion.
Secretary Doubleday .of the organi-
zation presented the Dispatch yes
terday with sheaf of letters from
persons answering the advertise
mentS of Douglas that have been
published in nationally circulated
magazines and it was found that in
these letters many ask about the
housing accommodations here and
nearly every request is for furn-
ished house to rent at about $40 or
$50
/ Several of the letters contain a
definite statement that the writer's
/ intend moving here as soon as the
Borderland Climate club answers thor
/ letters and tells them what sort OF
! homes they can find. Doubleday
| stated yesterday that he hesitated
to answer many of the letters be-
| cause it did not seem right to adj
vertise a community and ask people
| 20 come to it to live and then be
| forced to inform them that they
could get no living quarters if they
/ did come.
