MUSIC,
CLUB TO OFFER
FAMOUS TIPICA

The famous Tipich orchestra from
Mexico City will appear in Douglas
soon under the auspices Of the Douglas
Music club. According to press re-
ports, and reputation this orchestra
should present something worth while
in unusual music.
The Mexican Tipica orchestra plays
jazz numbers like Paul Whiteman's
orchestra. Yet they never heard of
jazz until shortly before their Amer
lean tour and their playing of typical
American music was the result of a
broken engagement by an American
orchestra in Mexico City.
Ambassador Sheffield, the American
diplomatic representative in the MeXi-
can capital had sent out invitations
for formal reception to be held in
the old castillated embassy which has
witnessed so many battles and revolts
in the ancient capital of the Aztecs.
Tho orchestra, which had been en-
gagged to play for the reception, was
an American organization then playr
ing an engagement in Mexico City. For
some reason which the American
ambassador was never able to learn,
they never appeared for the reception.
The Tipica orchestra, which was be-
ing rehearsed by Senior Briseno in the
capital preparatory to making the
American tour, learned of the Amer
ican ambassadors predicament when
they were at the embassy to have
Mexican passports vised. Senior Bris-
emo Immediately offered to furnish the
music for the reception without charge
and, after a hurried trip in taxi to
a downtown music store he secured
what he thought were typical Amer
lean selections similar to those he eX-
pected to play in the United States as
typical of Mexico. Instead, the music
clerk sold him the latest jazz records
and, after an hours rehearsal, he APP
, peared at the embassy with his or
chestra wearing their bright colored
Mexican costumes and rendered pro-
gram of Mexican and American music
including the jazz he had just taught
his musicians. The quaint way they
played the jazzy selections delighted
Ambassador Sheffield's guests and the
novelty of having a Mexican Tipica
orchestra playing American jazz was
the feature Of the reception.

HOUSE PROBLEM
GROWS SERIOUS
HOTELS FULL

That the housing situation In
Douglas is becoming acute is the
statement of a number Of realtors
in the city. Clerks in the F. D..
Hubbell offices said Monday after
loon that they had no houses of
any sort listed for rent and that
they were forced to turn people
away who are seeking places in
which to live. In this office the
Dispatch reporter was told that an
effort is being made here to avoid
the situation that confronts Tucson
where, according to reports, 5000
persons have been forced to leave
the city during the winter because of
shortage of houses.
The real estate men here express
the hope that this city can build
| time at such q rate that few people
will have to move elsewhere be-
cause of the shortage.
Officials of Rice and company re-
ported that many homes are chang
ing hands and that the outlook for
further sales of real estate is eX-
cellent. They say, however, that
the greater number of homes being
sold now are small. Going by 8
general rule in this business they
say that after all of the smaller
homes that are on the market are
sold higher class of houses will
be sold. This office also reports a
shortage of rental property as do
several other real estate ioffices
! throughout the city.
Hotels report crowded condition
that has existed since September.
Jack Faulkner, manager of the
Gadsden hotel says that his books
show that even during the regular
slump season last summer there
were very few vacant rooms in the
hotel and he does not expect the
slump this year to cut down surplus
that the hotel cannot handle to a.
point where there will be any vacant
rooms this year at all. At the pres
ent time the smaller rooming houses
of the city arc caring for the
overflow from the larger hotels,
but a demand for better accommo-
dations and more rooms is being felt
i'll every quarter of the city the
hotel men report

ESS PEE CHIEFS
TO CONFER With
JOINT BODY HERE

AZ E. Sweet, assistant general man
ager of the Southern Pacific railroad
accompanied by w. G. Barnes, general
freight agent, and J. B. Mason, gem
eral passenger agent, will arrive in
Douglas early today to confer at 10
o'clock at the chamber of commerce
soffiees with al joint committee repre-
senting this city and Bisbee, on pro-
posed trading of trains and changes
in the train schedule.
Local railroad officials could make
mo statement Monday as to what
might be .the outcome of the meeting.
One possible arrangement that might
be made, according to local men, is
that the present trains running over
this route, all of which are big
trains, be made through trains, which
would eliminate for them the small
stations along the route. To replace
this service to small stations another
train would then be put on to run
between Ell Paso and Phoenix.
Whether this plan will be broached
at the meeting is not known. In the
past few months much agitation has
been created for the trading of one
of the present scheduled trains for
one of the trims now run over the
north line, but railroad officials say
it is definitely understood that the
majority of the Douglas and Bisbee
people are at present we'll satisfied
with the present schedule.
w. w. Windham, general agent for
the Southern Pacific here, said Mon
day that new time card will be is
sued on March 20 and that it is his
opinion that changes if made will be
made before that date and that fol-
lowing the issuance of this new time
card no changes will be made for a
long period of time, as the printing
of a time card is expensive and the
making of changes is expensive.

RECORDS SHOW
BIG INCREASE
IN BUYING HERE

Figures compiled in the offices of
w. W. Windham, general freight and
passenger agent for the Southern
Pacific in Douglas snow that for the
past four or five months there has
been an increase in freight shipped
into Douglas of approximately 80
per cent. This increase was first no.
ticeable during the early fall of
1926 and in October, the figures
showed an increase over October of
1925 of sS per cent, while for the
month of January just passed there
was an increase over January of
1926 of 80 per cent.
The figures are taken from the
business that goes directly to Doug
las and does not include the figures
for shipments to the local smelters
or a vast amount of business done
with mining companies IN Sonora
Iii Other words the increase is taken
en- local business and indicates an
increase in the use in this city OF
foodstuffs, building material and
every sort of freight that goes into
the maintaining and building Of a
city.
!Windham told the Dispatch that
he had every reason to believe that
this freight business would continue
throughout the year to be larger
than for the year previous and has
every expectation that the average
will increase as time goes on. The
figures for the total business for
February as incompletely compiled
indicate that for this month much
greater volume of business will be
done than for the same month
year ago.
