MINNESOTA CRIB
TYPE CHOSEN BY
CLOVERDALE MAN

Corn growers in the vicinity of
Cloverdale, N. M, are soon to know
how to build a corn crib according
to the Minnesota idea. The lnforma-
ton will come to them in what
might be termed model crib for
which j. N. Sanford yesterday bought
the lumber of the Bassett company
in Douglas. He came to Douglas
accompanied by j. H. Eicks and
hauled back material for his new
crib.
According to Sanfords plans he
will build the model crib and have
it inspected by the county agricultural
agent of his county an dthe day the
inspection is made there will be
farmers picnic and outing at his
place, when problems of growing corn
and others in which that community
is interested will be- considered. The
farmers will also have an opportunity
to see the new crib and learn of its
advantages in handling the corn they
grow.
It is Sanford's report thaS a con-
siderable corn is grown around
Cloverdale and he thinks the indica-
tions are that the crop will be given
more and more attention from year
to year, as the farmers are finding
that climate, soil and other factors
make it a good ore for them to
plant.

HEART FAILURE
VICTIM, AGE 49

Gibson Wright Pratt, for the past
four years city clerk of Douglas and
a well and favorably known citizen of
the community for more than 20 years,
died at $3.50 Friday morning at his
home, 1929 Ninth street, from an af-
Fiction of the heart. He had been
bothered with the trouble at times for
a considerable period and had been
advised by his physician to seek low
er altitude, but had remained at his
post of duty as it now appears to the
neglect Of his personal health.
Mr.. Pratt had been a resident of Ari-
zona since July, 1908, when he came
to Bisbee from Chicago to make his
home. After residing at Bisbee for
three years, he removed with his fam
lily to Douglas where he had since liv-
ed and had been an active member OF
the community At the time he came
to Douglas, he was in the employ of
the Douglas Investment company as
officer manager, a position he held for
eight years He then organized the
Leader Furniture company, being one
of the partners. The firm disbanded
four years ago and Mr.. Pratt was
chosen to the office of city clerk.
In addition to being the city clerk,
he also performed the duties of city
treasurer and purchasing agent, and,
under the control of the mayor, he eX-
ercised many of the principal duties in
the managementtiof the city affairs.
Gibson Wright Pratt was born at
Springfield, Mo-, on January II, 1878,
the son of DR.. and Mrs. George Pratt.
He was educated in the public schools
of Spearfish, S. D., and completed his
education with course in the Nor
NAL college at Spearfish.
In 1902 he was married to Lillian
Wetzel and she, with their son, Glenn
a student at the, University of Arizona
and daughter, Aimee, a high school
student, survives him. He also leaves
sister, Mrs. Fannie Sindall, of Cape
Town, South Africa.
Pratt was a member of the Elki
lodge, having affiliated with the or
ganization at Elgin, ILL.,, in 1909 He
served as exalted ruler of the Douglas
lodge of Elks in 1913, His funeral
service will be conducted in the Doug
las ElkS home on Tenth street or
Sunday afternoon at $3.50 and the
eulogy will be delivered by Rev. j. E
Congdon, pastor of the Presbyterian
church. The Elks ritual burial will be
exemplified.
The pallbearers for the funeral had
not been selected yesterday but the hon.
orary and active list will be made UP
of close friends of the deceased and
will include prominent citizens and Of
ficers of the city government of Doug
las.
City Clerk Pratt was of genial ma
ture and of high moral character and
had drawn to him scores of friends
who were grieved upon learning of his
sudden death. Mayor Hinton, speak
ing of the deceased said that he was
one of the very best citizens of the
community and that the citizens and city
government had sustained great loss
in his untimely taking.
AS o tribute to the memory of the
clerk, the flags of the city were placed
at half mast when his death was an
nounced.
