WORK
SMOOTHS OVER
AND RUTS

The thousand of motorists who
make daily pilgrimage to Aqua Prieta
from Douglas have no doubt noticed
that First street which leads to the
customs house from the east, is closed
to traffic while Third street, which
has never been opened all the way
to Railroad avenue, is now open to
traffic.
Street Superintendent John Bouldin,
is cutting down the ridge which
years of traffic has created in the
center of First street from G avenue
to Railroad avenue and is leveling
that street up so that it will be
smooth and good for the thousands
of wheels which travel over it each
day.
In the mean time the traffic is
diverted over Third street, which
has been cut down and widened and
smoothed over into very acceptable
passage from G. avenue to Railroad.
The street east of c. avenue has
also been smoothed up considerably.
1t is the intention of the street
department to start in on Railroad
avenue as soon as they get First
street smoothed over and cut the
bumps and ridges off of that much
Travelled thoroughfare.

HIS MULES LACKED
STRONG WORDS FOR
AN ENCOURAGEMENT

1t is commonly believed that, pound
for pound, a mule can outpull horse.
"Yet when Wayne Dfnsmore, secre-
tary of the Horse Association of Amer
lea, put on pulling contest in Kansas
City, a team of horses won from a
team of mules according to a story
in the Literary Digest.
The two teams were in the same
physical condition, and in every other
way the test was fair, so every one
thought.
That is, every one except the army
sergeant who managed the pair OF
army mules in the competition with
the horses When his mules sue
ceeded in pulling no more than the
horses had pulled, even though they
were heavier, the sergeant came over
to Mr. Dinsmore.
Say, that test wasn't fair" he pro-
tested
''Why not?" asked Mr.. Dinsmore.
"Well, there's ladies present" COM

whats that got to do with the
strength of your mules?"

sergeant, ct couldn't talk to them

HAS
MANY DAYS OF
IMPORTANCE

February makes it's bow this morn
ing as the new month. Being the
shortest month Of the IL in the year,
it has an added distinction this year
by the fact that it carries 29 days
this being leap year.
February has a number of interest
ing anniversary dates. Outstanding
in them, of course, is Feb. IL, the
anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's
birthday, and the anniversary OF
George Washington's birthday on Feb
%. But these are but two Of the
ten or dozen that carry a general
interest. Feb 8 is the fourth ami
versary of the death of Woodrow
Wilson. FEB. is the 18th ami
versary of the release by the Ger
mans Of the American soldiers held
prisoners, from the World war Feb
6 is the sixth anniversary of the
election of Pope Plus to be pope
Feb 10 is the fifth anniversary OF
the death of Dr. William x Roent-
gen, whose name is linked with the
discovery of the X-ray.
Feb. IA is ST. Valentines day when
it is said to be favorable fer select
ing sweethearts and when it is the
custom with many to send endearing
messages to those they love.
Feb. Is is the fourth anniversary
Of the resignation from the Coolidge
cabinet of Edwin S. DENLY following
the Teapot Dome and Elk Hill oil
scandal stirred up by the U. S
senate.
Feb. %, in addition to being the
anniversary of George Washington's
birthday this year is also Ash We'd
nesday, a church calendar day.
Feb. 26 is the 82nd anniversary
of the birth of an individual that
brought thrills to millions of boys
and girls, to say nothing of adults
because of his picturesque figure or
horseback. That was the date OF
which William S. Cody, known anc
loved the world over, as Buffalo Bill
was born, Feb 26, 1886.
There are some people who viii
have their birthday on Feb. % anc
to all such this will be their first
literal birthday for four years. There

MAN OPERATED
ON AT HOSPITAL
IN GOOD SHAPE.

John Packinaw, OF Dos Cabezas
was operated on at the county hos
pital yesterday afternoon for append
icitis. He was reported recovering
nicely from the effects of the opera
ton last evening.
Joseph Brown, of Bisbee, was ad-
mitted to the hospital yesterday
afternoon, having been brought down
in the ambulance from the hill city
suffering with asthma.
Uneko Ten Over, of Bisbee, has
been admitted to the hospital suffer-
ing from maladies incident to ad-
vanced age. The records Of the
Institution show that Ten Over was
born on Cape Good Hope in 1889
which would indicate that the man
is now almost 80 years Of age Ten
Over has been a resident of the
Bisbee district for years and was
in the county hospital some years
ago for treatment for a minor all
ment.
The canaries at the hospital are
doing fine. The mother bird is
getting more and more occupied every
day with the four little eggs in the
lint lined nest and the nurses report
that they are expecting some baby
birds almost any time now.

STOLEN GOODS
ARE RECOVERED
IN Aqua PRIETA

Marking the results of the united
and concentrated efforts of two police
departments the deputy sheriffS and
the constable of the Douglas district,
Chief of Police Percy Bowden announc-
ed yesterday the recovery of approx
mately $1,000 worth of stolen property
in a private house in Aqua Prieta and
the discovery of evidence which he
states he expects will lead to the ar
rest of a number OF burglars and
thieves and the recovery of much ad-
ditional loot.
Following week of feverish activity
with every man of the Douglas law
enforcement squads working cver-
time and with police patrols in the
residence district and detectives comb
ing both sides of the border, the net
gradually closed in and over the week
end, Chief Bowden and his assistants
almost lived in Aqua Prieta where,
with the night patrols of that police
force they carried on secret and quiet
expeditions and interviews.
The end came for the burglars when
on Monday night, armed to the teeth
and carrying search WarrentS the raid
ing squads of the Aqua Prieta officers,
accompanied by the Douglas officers
swooped down on a home in the resi-
dence district. There they found the
loot in piles, in boxes and in trunks.
The burglars had fled. An old couple
living in the house were exonerated,
it being the belief of the officers that
they knew little or nothing OF the
thieving activities going on.
Chief Bowden reports that much loot
has been disposed of elsewhere and is
vet to be discovered. He has men out
now combing certain districts in search
of half a dozen men wanted in con-
nection with the theftS and believed
to be in the district in hiding. That
the twilight burglaries will be cleared
up with the ending of this case is the
belief of the officers. Most of the
loot found so far is from series OF
robberies of the Douglas Furniture
and Outfitting company which was
robbed several times. There are a
number of articles among the loot, the
officers report, that are not listed in
the descriptions of loot obtained from
any robbery recently here and he be-
lieves that they were taken in other
cities or in robberies here that, Tor
some unexplainable reason, have never
been reported.
The loot is in safe keeping in Aqua
Prieta and has been checked over and
lists are now being made OF all the
recovered articles.

AIR COMMITTEE
MAY MEET SOON
TO BUILD FIELD

Announcement was made last eve
ming by George E. Jackson, president
of the chamber of commerce and
chairman of the city committee on
the international air port, that a
meeting of the committee would be
called in the near future, possibly
today, to hear the reports of the
various sub committees and decide on
a definite plan of action to secure
the building Of the international
air port Immediately.
With the various sub committees
working in this district to assemble
a large amount of data on various
phases of the situation and with the
negotiations going forward for the
securing of a site for the field.
although an option on one of the
few approved sites is said to havs
been obtained a long time ago, it
is the hope of the N. A. A. and
other aviation boosters that the field
can be built here during the next
few months and before the various
commercial air lines and the air
mail through the southwest are all
routed through some other route due
to the lack of field here.
Since aviation first came into the
public eye in the southwest and
especially in Douglas, Flagstaff Tue
son and Nogales have made notable
advancement in aeronautics and have
built fields and equipped them.
Nogales, having no level land within
nine miles of the city, was not
daunted but went out away froni
the city and away from the border
and built a field and dedicated it
an international air port realizing
that some border city should take
action.
The Tucson chamber of commerce,
securing appropriations from the
city, the county, the state and the
federal government, has cleared,
equipped and lighted what is said
to be one of the finest aviation fields
in the country and as result has
a steadily increasing air traffic with
a regular passenger service that is
waiting the building of the field here
to extend itself through Douglas to
Ell Pasc, and the promise Of several
additional passenger services in the
near future as well as the chance
at depot on the mail routes when
the contracts are awarded.
Douglas, without port CT any
thing to offer as a substitute for
a port, except, as an aviator has said
that the whole district is available
as a landing field. has been urged
by the heads of two of the leading
flying firms of the country to secure
the international air port at once.
One of these organizations has issued
a statement that they propose flying
a regular service to Mexico, as soon
and if, Douglas builds the inUerna-
tional air port. The government has
lifted the ban on aviators crossing
the border.
Two aviation firms have as much
as promised to start regular pas
senger service through this city, il
and when, the port is built and
there is the assurance OF officials
that the mail air lines will not pass
through Douglas unless port is
provided and will pass through here
if the port is built. The aviation
boosters are working fast and urging
