board of tax appeals John w. Prem
tiss, partner in the New York firm of
Hornblower and Weeks, testified that

uary of this year. Prentlss said the
Ford company was worth $3.50, 100000
In 1913 and that his company would

at or near Fayal, Azores, tonight.
Details still were lacking of the
mishap which brought him down near
the end of his 1000 miles jump from
Trepassey, N. F., but dispatches from
Lisbon said that De Pinedo was not
injured in the landing, and his boat,
the Santa Maria II, was being towed
into port. An examination undoubt-
ed will be made there before a de-
cision is reached as to continuation of
the original route to Portugal and
thence to Rome.
The dense fog which compelled the
flyers to abandon their lang hope
after they had digreSsed considerably
off their course, continued to shrouc
the island archipelago all of today

Caught on the Wing

E. B. Wheeler, Snelter worker: "The
plan of the city of Douglas to honor
appropriately the dead of the army
navy and marine corps next Monday
on Decoration day is a very COM
mendable one. The boys who gave
their lives for the cause Of freedom
and democracy are deserving this
tribute to their memory. Douglas
should be proud that its city officials
and leading citizens are active in
this program"
George B. Bryant, Modesto, Calf.
"This district around Douglas should
produce good grapes. The altitude
it a little high for early grapes, but
the soil is almost ideal. It takes
light, sandy soil for good grape pro-
duction. 1 have seen land in Cali
fornia produce good vineyards that
was not as good as the land near
here appears to be-"
Henry L. King, Jacksonville, Fla:
"Of course, for an all year round re-
sort, think the best place in the
world is my home town, but I will
say for Douglas that it has what 1
call bunch of real live boosters.
And when you have boosters in a
town the hardest part of the battle
to put it on the map is won. The
right men will find something in any
country or climate to boost, but the
wrong men could not boost the best
climate and country in the world"
o.
A. j. Warner, Phoenix: What
Douglas and visinity need more than
anything else is first class turkey
and chicken industry. This is one OF
the best sections in the United States
in which to raise fowls of all sorts.
The climate is dry. Rains do not
drown the young in summer and it
is never really hot here. I am think
ing of putting in some chicken and
turkey houses on one of the places
for sale near town"
o
S. L. Butler: Anyone who ever
made any money in Douglas, it seems,
goes somewhere else to spend it. Too
many people live here with the idea
of cleaning up and going some place
else to live Most of them go to the
Salt river valley and invest large
sums of money in land. They always
take the money out of Douglas. They
are all financing Phoenix instead of
Douglas and vicinity need more than
such cases. This is the wrong atti-
tude."
Louis Germany: People talking Of
putting traffic bells and such things
in Douglas make me laugh. This is
such a. little town it isn't necessary
to spend money that way. Douglas
is only little country town."
S. F. Cole: "Only one woman in
ten will give a signal when she backs
out from the curb. Woman cause
most of the traffic accidents"

He brailed the traps in that area that are fishing for the Sanitary Packing Company, who have the local A. F. A. cannery un der lease for the year. His total amount of fish was between two thousand and twenty-five hundred The Sanitary Packing Company have up about two thousand cases at the present time. Their normal pack would be between fifteen and twenty thousand. So far this season the cannery has not run more than three hours at time.
 The Coulter-Jenkins trap located at Ratz Harbor has turned in about fifteen hundred lift in two lifts.
 The Gunderson traps located at Olive Cove have reported that the largest lift they have had so far is about fifteen hundred. The wind has kept them from brailing their traps for several days.
 (Ed. Note-Olive Cove is a closed area-to fishermen. Under Bureau conservation methods, it is proper to catch the fish before they get to the spawning area.
 The F. c. Barnes Co.,, at Lake Bay have had very few fish. So far they have put up only about 250O cases, mostly reds. However, the indications yesterday were that the fish are coming at last and 1t io tApCCtSu IHdG they WILL DS pussy from now until the end of the sea son.

tractor of Aqua Prieta, did all the
carpentry work, the plumbing and
tinting. The best of materials have
been used from one end Of the
big establishment to the other, for
it is the aim of the management
to have a place that will be
second to none on the entire
border. The Douglas Lumber COM
pany furnished the hardWoods and
other building materials that went
into the job.
The club was popular when it
first started in one small corner
of the building which it is now
to occupy entirely. The jolly
sociability OF the management at
tracted the better class of holiday
seekers and the growth of the
place has been a natural result
of it's manner of meeting the
public. The place is cheerful. Its
employees are cheerful, they are

and very beautiful lighting effect
has been arranged. There will be
almost every imaginable color of

during the dances the lights will
be lowered, flashed and changed
to suit the music. There is a

in the orchestra pit and certain

Aqua Prieta, has a new
cabaret that has been
built up on the site Of
the White Horse club on
the main business street
Of the city. 1t is the larg-
est, most artistically
equipped and complete
establishment Of it's kind
on the Arizona border.
It has been in the course
Of building for nearly a
year, but the great
changes and the best
work has been done dur
ing the past month, with
an expenditure Of more
than $4,000 for an en-
larged dance floor, new
decorations, new parti-
tions and general over
hauling and rebuilding of
the entire house.
The dance floor, a fine,
level, hardwood floor, is
now the largest in the
district. The seating
capacity Of the house has
been more than doubled.
An extra fine cafe service
has been installed and the
main dining room has
been added to the dance
floor so that the diners
may sit near the music
and the inviting spaces
of the smooth floor.
Vincent Hraste, proprietor of the
Douglas Bakery and a resident for
many years, is one of the pro-
prietors of the fine resort. Joe
Pavelka, who opened the White
Horse nearly year ago, is the
other proprietor and will be in di-
rect management and will have full
charge of the cabaret, directing the
large retinue of servants and see
ing personally to the wants Of the
guests.
The orchestra is one of the most
popular on the border 1t is
made up of real musicians who
give to jazz and dance music those
notes of real melody that SO much
jazz lacks. They make the dancer
want to dance and instill joy into
the very air.
The kitchen of the newly opened
establishment will be presided over
by Felix Armendariz, with whom
the border is we'll acquainted. He
was chief cook at the White House
before accepting Gne position of
chef for the White Horse and is
known from Juarez to Naco for
his fine Mexican and American
cooking.
To those who have watched the
work of rebuilding the White
Horse, who have seen old walls
come down, old floors torn up, old
decorations thrown into the waste
basket, realize that this job has
been done very thoroughly and
