Total fire loss in Nogales dur

Gay was only $13,85O, of which
$12,100 was covered by insurance
according to a report given to the
Nogales international by Fire
Chief Gus Michaels.
Thirty four alarms were turn
ed in, of which six were false. The
false alarms were due to the fact
that new automatic alarm sys-

and shortly after the installation

The report shows Z chimney
fires all of which could haye been
avoided by the proper inspection
of the chimneys There is one house
where fire occurs twice a year
on account of the chimney not be-
ing clean. One fire was caused
by an overheated electric iron
which had been left on with the
electricity connected. Two fires
we're caused by oil stoves which
had been left burning in the house
while the occupants were out.
Another fire was caused by an
overheater furnace. All the other
fires were of an excusable origin

fective wiring.
This is a very good record for

partment and the members de-
serve great credit. The total
amount of property involved In

BIG BOOM IN NoCALES
AHEAD FOR YEAR 1927;
ACTIVITY IN ALL LINES

Nogales will see the most rapid growth in her
history during the year 1927. A real boom is just
around the corner
This is the concensus Of opinion of practically
every business man Of this city.
Great things are in store for this thriving border
metropolis and prosperity, which has been gradually
returning to Nogales during the year now closing,
will get into full swing in 1927.

Ihe opening or the new Noga-
les-Mexico City railroad, to be
completed in February after sew
eral years work and at a cost of
100000, is the first big thing
on deck for the new year. With
opening of this new railroad No
gales dream of many years-of
being on main line railroad-
will come true.
The Ell Paso-Mexico City rail-
road did more than anything else
to make Ell Paso a big city.
The Nogales-Mexico City should
do the same thing for Nogales and
even more so for south of Nogales
there is one of the greatest
agricultural and mining districts in
the world. There is no such |!
| is no such vast territory south Of
| Ell Paso.
According to railroad men, ap-
proximately 800 new families will
settle in Nogales upon completion
of the railroad. This means abb
, out 1000 new people.
BUILDING BOOM
During the past year I'M
provements to business blocks
and erection of homes got
under way on both sides Of
the border after several years
inactivity in building circles. The
new year promises to be the great
est year in building in the history
Of this city. There is great
shortage of desirable homes here
now for the many new residents
flocking here to locate. Local
hotels have been doing a good
business during the old year.
+ MINING OUTLOOK GOOD
There is more activity in mining
in this county at present than in
many years. Many big compan-
les are entering the local field and
great development is under way in
all districts of the county. San
ia Cruz County is noted for its
mines. Before the year 1877
closes it is expected that several
big producers will be employing
hundreds of men. The eyes OF
the mining world are centered on
this county.

PRINCE OF WALES
NFRONTED WITH
DIFFICULT SEASON
Young Idol Is Expected to
Ride in Many SteepIe-
ChaseS.

BIZ United Press
LONDON, Oct. 29.-The Prince of
Wales is "all set" for the hunting
season and all England Is worried.
1t is not too much to say that all
England will sigh with relief when
the season is ended-if the Prince
Is still hale and sound.
His propensity for falling off
horses is world-famous. He has
usually escaped unscathed, but at
other times he has broken his bones
and sustained slight conclusions of
the brain, all serious when they hap
pen to an heir of a throne.
His intimate friends say that he
undertakes too much. His promi
nent social position makes him feel
that he ought to excel at everything
he undertakes. and that he cannot
hold back when others have a go
at fence or a hedge. He pits him
self against most expert jockeys apd
steeplechase riders, men who have
concentrated at this one sport. What
they jump. the Prince of Wales tries
to jump, too.
Horsemen say the Prince rides
Aorses too big for him. 1t is well
- own that he prefers large mounts.
But experts point out that the
Prince only tips the scale at little
over 125 pouritfs and that, with his
slight weight thrown against a hunt
ing snafffe bit, he cannot control the
powerful horses he chooses.
The question of the Princes seat
n the saddle is one of the most
1otly discussed problems now before
he public Some say he rides by
balance more than by grip of the
Inees and that his seat is precari-
BUS over jumps, though safe enough
or riding on the flat. Others insist
hat his jumping seat is excellent
md that the trouble is that the
horses fall down under him. That is
he Princes own contention.
"Do you expect me to stay In the
ir If the horse falls DOWN." he asked
friend who was discussing the
matter with him not long ago.
EngllShmen, IN whose hearts the
Prince has won a very warm place. 4
1now that for whatever reason, the
Prince keeps falling off his horses.
That fact interests them more than
he cause of it. They admire his
courage and high spirit but they
wish he would be little more care
ul.
The Prince Il sure to ride in many
lifficult point-to-point races this
leason, and the British nation is
Watching anxiously, in dread of a
Ierious accident.

1t is beyond my understanding
why anybody should be scan
dalized by linking up sports with
religion and yet some of my hum
dreds of letters not only con-
demned but abused my stand on
this and my belief that the play
ing of games on Sunday is not an
offense provided it does not inter-
fere with or take the place of
proper religious duty.
81 feel that sports is as much
a part of our life as work and
religion, in the proper proportion,
of course, and with the under
standing that they are conducted
along right lines and high STAN
dards. Sports get off on wrong
lines from time to time and so do
harm, but for that matter the
same can be said of religion.
sports are an outstanding
agency for right living and the
proper training for the essentials
of life and nobility of character.
If a boy can take part in sports
with fairness, honor, self-control
and sacrifice of himself fur the
team he is developing qualities
that make for manhood. If this
does not have a spiritual trend |

Bishop Manning said to Daley:
