50 MEMBERS IN

At a special meeting of the board OF
directors of the Douglas Y. M. G. A.
last night it was reported that since
last Tuesday morning so members
have been signed up in the present
membership campaign, but that owing
to business and other conditions, only
q small per cent of prospective MEM
bers have been seen.
Because of this fact it was decided
to extend the campaign until o'clock
Saturday night. October 1, and that the
awards being offered will be presented
at that time. To the one who secures
the most points in the campaign $40
suit of clothes will be given, second
prize will be hat, and a third a pair
of shoes.

MAY BE- RENTED

Cabins at the interstate Y. M. 9. A..
camp in Pinery canyon may be had
for week lends, or longer periods, by
making arrangements with E. j. Minor,
at the Hands house, about one mile
below the camp, according to an an
nouncement made public yesterday by
Fred d, Pierce, interstate secretary,
who has been in Douglas for several
days.
A rental fee of $100 per night per
cabin will be charged. Each house
contains nine hunks, but the fee will
be the same regardless of the number
occupying the house. There are five
cabins on the SITE SO there should be
no difficulty experienced in securing
quarters, according to Pierce.
The public is invited to make use of
camping facilities, but in view of the
expense connected with upkeep and
construction it has been deemed only
fair that rental should be charged.
Hunters who may wish to use cabins
during the hunting season may secure
keys from Minor, and they will be
given use of Ian rs, axes and other
useful articles in connection with the
rental.
1t is also planned to make addition
al improvements such as more ade-
quate water supply, shower baths, ETC.,
as fast as funds are secured.

ADMIRERS TO GO
TO LORDSBURC.

More than $50 residents of Douglas
including some 80 who will drive auto
mobiles, plans to visit Lordsburg this
morning to attend New MeXico's re-
ception in honor Of Col Charles A.
Lindbergh, famous New York to Paris
flier, who will visit that city for
brief hour in his history-making
monoplane, Spirit of ST Louis"
Among the Douglas pilgrims to the
Lindbergh shrine will be many Of
ficers and directors Of the Cochise
County Fair association who plan to
load their machines with premium
lists, posters and placards advertising
the fair which opens Wednesday, with
a view to distributing the advertising
matter among the thousands who will
visit the army air field at Lordsburg
to hear and see Lindbergh as he de-
livers a brief message on commercial
aviation to the citizens of the neigh
Dor state
Most Douglas residents who plan to
join the Lordsburg motorcade expect
to leave at an early hour to be at the
flying field well in advance of the
pilot plane of the Lindbergh party
which is expected to arrive from Tue
son at 10:30 a. M. Those who will CO.
operate with the fair association in
the advertising campaign will assem-
BILE at the chamber of commerce Of
fices at a. m. to receive supplies of
fair literature.
The fair association party plans to
reach Lordsburg we'll before 10 a. m,
to be on the ground when the first of
the planes arrives. Col Lindbergh is
scheduled to land at IL a. m. and re-
main there until noon, then take off
for Ell Paso without leaving the Lords
burg air field 1t will be his official
visit to New Mexico in line with his
program of making visit to each
state of the union.
Yesterday numerous Douglas resi-
dents drove to Tucson to attend the
Arizona Lindbergh reception. Among
them were j. w. Tardy, president OF
the fair association and T. t. Scho-
field, fair leader, both Of whom car
ried considerable fair literature to dis
tribute on the route to Tucson, par

the coming fair had been more widely
and thoroughly advertised than any

CONTINUES
HIS TESTIMONY
IN CARSON Case

TUCSON Ariz, Sept. % H4-While
the whirr OF airplanes disturbed from
time to time the cloiSteral stiffness
of the courtroom, the question OF
vertical side walls versus inclined side
siderable attention in the celebrated
before Judge William H. Sawtelle
in the United States district court.
DR. Thomas Garfield Chapman, pro
fessor Of mefellurgy and ore dressing
at the University or Arizona and
metallurgist at the bureau of mines,
was on the stand during the entire
half day session.
When the court was adjourned at
noon until tomorrow morning the
cross examiisltion of the defense eX-
pert by Charles H. Wheeler, Jr, of
San Francisco, chief counsel for the
plaintiff, the Carson Investment COM
pany, had not yet been completed.
Dr. Chapman testified that inclined
side walls are Eat least as efficient"
as vertical side walls, with reference
to the charging of the furnace, pro-
lection of the side wall by the
charge, and other respects. The Car
son patent drawings show vertical
side walls. He added that, in his
opinion, there was more corrosion III
the vertical walls than in inclined
side walls, although he explained that
he had not made any definite
measurements that would enable him
to furnish data for his belief
Under the Carson patent, the
charge does not have "an unrestricted
vertical movement downward to the
floor of the furnace" the witness said.
Chapman gave as the reason for
this fact that, when the furnace
is being opeSted, the previously inz
troduced charge forms an embank-
ment that precludes restricted ver-
! tical movement downward of any
ore subsequently let into the furnace.
The suit is for alleged infringe
ment of the Carson patents, and
royalties amounting to several mil
lions of dollars are claimed.
