BUICK IN LEAD
IN DETROIT AS
TAXI, HE SAYS

Flint, Mich, Oct 29.-One of the
strongest testimonials to Bucks per-
formance, reliability and low upkeep
cost is the experience of the Checker
Cab Company of Detroit, which oper-
ates the largest motor car fleet in
Michigan and one of the largest in the
country, say Buick officials. Among the
$50 cars which Checker has in the
streets today, Buick number $40, or
more than all other makes combined.
For in Detroit which has the reputa-
ton of being motor wise,' the public
has come to demand the same luxury
and comfort in it's cabs as in it's private
cars
Every driver in the Checker organ
ization is free to select the make of car
he prefers The factors which influ-
ence his choice are much the same as
those which influence the private own
er. They include performance and rid
ing ease, which insure the passenger OF
fast comfortable travel; style, which
makes him proud to be seen entering
or leaving the cab; reliability, which
keep cost, which enables the cab to re-
turn a profit.
The extent to which Buick fulfillS all
these requirements, in the opinion OF
Checker drivers, may be gagged from
the fact that IS per cent of new cars
being added to the checker fleet today
are Bucks Approximately 100 of the
1928 Buick models have been added ir
the last 60 days, Robert T. Brougham
general manager of the cab company
said. "We shall have 700 cars in oper-
alton by holiday time" said Mr.
Brougham, "and most Of the new ones
! will be Bucks"
Bucks performance in the hands o.
the Checker drivers who first intro
duced it into taxicab work has beer
responsible for the spread of its popu'
larity, it was pointed out. Detroit
which makes, talks and thinks motor
cars, was quick to respond to the chanc
to travel in comfort. Driver afte
driver installed Bucks until today
when each driver may own three cars
many own Bucks exclusively.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-01-22

The Douglas chapter OF the Ma
tional Aeronautical Association has
received letter from Kirke T. Moore,
chairman of the aviation committee OF
the Tucson chamber of commerce
which emphasizes the Importance OF
establishing the air port here at once
and of halzing that port detlnltely 10
Gated on the border as an interna-
tionaI air port.
Moore. who has headed the aviation
boosters of Tucson and the state gen
orally since landing fields first came
into demand, tells how the Tucson
chamber of commerce spent $4,000 for
an 8O-acre field with improvements,
only to find that the field was so small
that it was impossible of consideration
in connection with the big passenger
air lines.
Must Secure Large Fields
He relates that this venture marked
the second phase of aviation landing
field building for Tucson and that only
when the passage of an act by con-
gress was secured providing that the
citv could lease two sections of land
belonging to the government for AVA
ton purposes, was the problem solved.
In this connection Moore reports that
every effort was made to secure auth
ority from congress for the city to pur-
chase the land so that no possible tu-
ture move may deprive the city OF lts
municipal landing field.
The letter says that 24O acres of this
field were cleared and leveled and that
| l1n nQGn-
inery for the work, that the city IL
nanced such of the work as was moi
otherwise taken care of but that the
various oil companies represented IN
Tucson provided the fuel and lubricant
| for the machinery.
The city erected a cottage on the
field at a cost Of $4,000. well was
drilled and equipped with city FUNDS
assisted by other moneys. The field
was fenced by the city. The army has
installed an underground gasoline
! storage with an electric motor ano
4 humping equipment 1t is noted thai
| this might not be so readily secured
| for Douglas as Tucson is on the fedora
air way route while Douglas is at the
present time few miles removed from
| the main route.
City Spends Freely For Aviation
4 Moore notes that including the pur-
chase and installation of electric cable
at the field the city of Tucson ha!
spent nearly $4,000 on the new field
He notes that the city is pledged tol
IS 900 more to make up the $1,000 nee
essary for the purchase of the frs
units of the night lighting system
They hope to have these night light
in operation within the next 80 OF A
days.
County to Build Road
The new field, according to Moore
letter, is now about three miles from
the business district but will be mad
much closer by the county which l
preparing to build road to the tlel'
making a short cut that will take
mile from the distance.
Moore recalls in his letter that n

KIRKE MOORE URGES ACTIONON
INTERNATIONAL AIR PORT AS
NEED FOR FUTURE OF DOUGLAS

visited Douglas as member OF the 1iy-
ing narty of President Jack Frye OF the
Aero Corporation of California. He
saws that he is greatly impressed with
the opportunity offered Douglas for the
construction of an international air
port and remarks that he does not be-
lieve that there is a place on the enClre
border better situated for that impor-
tant port than Douglas.
Moore was a member of the party
which inspected the proposed interna-
tional field here and he relates in his
letter that the field here will be much
more easily cleared and prepared 1or
use than the ones they have nad 10
work with at Tucson.
He says that this opportunity TO Gre
ate an international port must not be
neglected for aside from its advertising
value it will be of vast benefit in fu-
ture years. In this connection he points
out the great needs for air transporta-
ton in Mexico where the mountainous
country is almost impossible by road
and where aviation is likely to do more
for development than anything ever
before conceived.
Distance Means Nothing
That the oft repeated plant of the
additionally speaking uneducated per-
son that Douglas is out of line with
Mexico City and the big centers IN the
United States means nothing is
brought out very clearly in this letter
when Moore states that what the COM
mercial flyers want is few landings
and fewer take offs which means that
/ they would be willing to fly 400 miles
/ further to be able to land here and get
their American and Mexican customs
and immigration inspection all in one
stop as landing and taking off big
planes is costly and risky.
Moore says that in addition to the
regular service of the Aero Corporation
of California which, flys q regular pas
senger service out of Tucson to the
. coast they are visited almost every week
by others preparing to install passenger
services and that their port has been
recognized as on the route for every
recognized flying event on the calendar.
4 In behalf of the Tucson chamber OF
commerce Moore pledges the coopera-
ton of the aviation boosters of Tucson
to the efforts being made in Douglas TO
establish the international port and
thus place Douglas on the modern maps
of the world

Now one beholds the pinkish hue Of
the higher peaks, but as the light
strikes it farther toward the base 1T
seems to turn to dull gray. The trees
further down the mountain side fur
nish the greenish fringe with which
nature helped the mountain to hide
it's nakedness, and down toward the

found grass and other vegetation IN
which the cottontails may hide.
Turning off the road on to the
course that leads to the ranch hotel,
one travels three-fourths of mile
through the trees-live oaks, syca-
mores, cypress and walnut all claim
ing their share of attention. The lower
growth is mesquite, sunlrnach and To-
Gust along the creek while on the
other side, the land has been re-
claimed and a field of alfalfa grows
A little farther over to the north
is the peach and apple orchard and
Just to the west is the vineyard,

Arriving at the hotel, one finds an
attractive cottage-like building, of

Shingle roof with a welcoming porch

DUDE RANCHES UNDER ARIZONA
SKIES FACE PROMISING FUTURE
MONTANA HERDER SLAMS DUDE

With dude Ranches" springing up
at many points in the southwest and
proving popular with patrons as we'll
as profitable to managers, Arizona
appears destined to occupy a front
berth as Dude Ranch" center be-
cause of her large stock interests and
the exceptional climate for such an
enterprise. The origin OF the Dude
Ranch idea is not hard to trace. It
is not held in memory where the
name was first used or how it hap
pened to be used, but anyone who
will give thought to the ideas of the
old days has but little to do to see the
development of the Dude Ranch
idea as a business term.
Several years back, there were two
classes about the ranches. One was the
veteran cowboy and the other the
tenderfoot. There were always visit
ors coming and going at the ranches.
1t was not unusual that the veterans
extended their activities of initiating

cnes in the more settled portions OF
| the east frequently initiated their
town visitors or others into their
"snipe hunting" guild.
AS originally applied, the express
ion "dude" used about a cattle or
sheep ranch was intended as a sort
of personal distinction to the visitor,
or at least that was true among the
ranches in the northern latitude. 1t
was in vogue in that senate long be-
fore the Eaton ranch in Wyoming
gathered in its clientele the many dis
tinguished writer's and artists who
frequent it from year to year. AS those
guests came to the Eaton ranch, it
was a common expression among moi
only the employees of the outfits neal
;,ut of railroad employees in that VIC
Unity to refer to them as dudes, ano
they meant no offense.

ROBBERY OF SMUCCLERS' TRAIN

it, one gathers that there was a rather
unanimous sentiment among the citi-
zens that it would not be a wise act
to undertake to moralize with Curly
Bill on his program and so they just
let him carouse while around the town
and then go his way as was his won't
without praise or blame.
Hancock tells this about the return
to Galeyville of NTilt Hicks and Jim
Hughes who were in the holdup:
"It had been quiet about the town
for few days and everything was
moving along serenely. On the night
before the morning that Hicks first
appeared, there had been a game of
poker going on and quite a number
of the boys had been up all night and
some were getting out as the dawn
broke over the mountains, to inhale
little of the ozone and see the sum
rise.
Looking toward the south, someone
called attention to the fact a man
was coming over the mountain who
seemed in hurry. He continued to
come toward the camp and the little
group of men who had been watching
met him to see what was the cause OF
his visit. When he got near enough
to see who it was, we all knew it was
Hicks and I guess everybody knew
Hicks business just as we did Curly
Bills.
Wanted Help to Garry Cripple
"When Hicks arrived he said that
he wanted help to bring a man who
was hurt into the camp to be treated,
He told us that the fellow had been
shot and as I recall he said it was
Jim Hughes and that he had been
shot in the leg and could not walk.
So plans were made to have some go
to help bring Hughes into the town
and for someone else to go to Bowie
