CAR STICKERS
MAKE BIC HIT

douglas, Arizona: Where She Walk
ed" The round yellow stickers being
handed out by the Borderland Climate
club are in wide demand. The Climate
club received a telegram Wednesday
from a Tucsonian asking for ship
ment of the stickers They are being
placed on travelling bags in half a
dozen hotels in the city and already
two orders for additional supplies of
the ovals have been placed with the
printers.
With the revival of the Aimee Sem
pie Mcpherson case on the front pages
of the newspapers throughout the
world, the stickers take on q new in
terest and probably the first one that
lands in New York City on some trav-
elers grip will bring out story ad-
vertising Douglas in a metropolitan
daily paper.
The idea is not new one The late
Dick Wick Hall, famous humorist who
lived at Salome on the desert in the
western part of this state, started the
slogan when he spoke of his home
town as "Salome, Where She Danced.
The idea, however, is quite appropriate
for Douglas at this time.

WORK OF REPAINTING
STREET LINES TODAY

The city officials expect to COM
plete the work of repainting the
parking lines in the streets today,
provided the weather remains favor
able. This WORK was begun about
two weeks ago, and includes all the
streets that have formerly had
painted parking lines.
The police department has issued
warning that motorists when
parking their cars must have their
machines completely within the
painted lines They point out that
il a car is parked carelessly, with
two wheels extending over the line
on one side, another driver, wishing
to use the next parking space, is
unable to get his machine within the
lines. All cars not parked within the
lines as required will be tagged by
the police officers.

DOUGLAS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
BANQUET ATTENDED BY lO2 MEN
WHO DISCUSS The CITY'S FUTURE

With 102 men present, representing
every business, profession, occupation
and walk of life within the Douglas
district, the annual banquet of the
Douglas Chamber of Commerce and
Mines was held Wednesday evening.
The banquet was featured by the an
nouncement of permanent, progressive
development as the policy of the min
ing and smelling interests of the COM
community, the outlining of the program
of the Borderland Climate club and the
tourist hotel project and the absolute
assurance that the Charleston dam
project is feasible and will be built,
restoring Cochise county to her former
position as the most wealthy county in
the state.
The principal speaker of the evening
was County Attorney J. F. Ross, who
told the assembled group about the
Charleston dam and irrigation project
which will irrigate $4,000 acres of land
and bring to the county an increase in
taxable wealth of many millions of
dollars Ross brought out with start
ling clearness that this county is
slumping behind the rest of the state
in development. He quoted the figures
showing that in 1921 this county was
the richest in taxable wealth of any
in the state and that now it is second
and very close to becoming third. He
showed where the Charleston dam
would bring the county back to first
place The county has lost seventy
millions in assessed valuation since
1921, he said.

in a good neighborhood where they
can get food and a reasonable amount
of care.

MRS. H. w. MATTINGLY
DIES HERE WEDNESDAY

Mrs. H. w. Mattingly passed away
at $50 o'clock Wednesday afternoon
at a local hospital where she had been
taken from the family home on Mon
day. Deceased was 81 years of age and
had lived in Douglas during the greater
portion of seven years. She was taken
i'll While at the J. Il. Mattingly home
at 1886 F avenue.
; Her mother, Mrs. Paul Maher, was
present at the time of death, having
been summoned from her home in Ell
Paso. The father, who lives in Globe,
was notified and will arrive tonight.
There are left 10 mourn the loss, the
husband, II. w. Mattingly; the father
and mother and an uncle, Carl Ander-
son, employed at the Calumet and
Arizona smelter.

The speaker brought out that the
project will cost approximately 500
an acre as an initial cost and that the
upkeep will be 1925 per acre foot for
the first IL years, when there will be
small increase. Facts brought out
clearly were that other projects that
are now successfully operating and
that have increased the wealth of their
districts by millions have cost much
more than the Charleston project will
cost
Ross asked that Douglas, through the
chamber of commerce and through the
various interests here who will benefit
greatly by the success of the Charles
ton project, use all influence to further
the success of the venture and espe-
ciafly to do this in an effort to get
some further concession from the rail-
roads in Connection with the moving of
their tracks, which will be under water
if left where they are when the dam
is built
Asked to Wake Up
Ross Jared the meeting intd life
when he pointed out that hot air would
not build city and that the things
( d
grasping of opportunities. He asked
that the men of Douglas "be alive to
your opportunities" and take advan-
tage of the chances to increase the
taxable wealth of the county.
In connection with the cost to the
railroads of moving their tracks and
the cost to the taxpayers from con-
ditions that now exist, Ross quoted
figures on the amount this county, the
state and the federal government has
spent to build and maintain bridges
across the San Pedro river, and pointed
out that when this dam is built the
bridges will be permanent. He startled
his audience when his figures, actual
and from records, showed more than a
millions dollars in highway and rail-
road bridges over the San Pedro in the
past few years, and when he pointed
out that the 100000 bridge that is to
be built in the near future may not
stay in it's place for II months unless
a dam is built to control the waters OF
! the river he created a new thought
wave among the 100 taxpayers who
listened to him.
Permanent Prosperity
P. G. Beckett, general manager OF
the Phelps Dodge corporation, spoke
briefly, but to the point. He said thai
the knockers of the district had said
for years that this town would finally
! dwindle away because the mines and
the smelters would finish their work
here. Beckett told of the rebuilding
and reconstructing of the Copper Queen
~ L. 1nNC
smelter here as absolute proof that this
city is here to stay and will always be
prosperous to the extent that continued
mining and smelling in the southwest
can make it.
| Beckett called attention to the fact
! that Douglas is more prosperous now
than it has been since the war. He
said that he considered the new lead
