CASA BLANCA
WILL Be BUILT
IN NEAR FUTURE

A. T. Sammarcelli and u. S. Will
liams, proprietors of the White House
club in Aqua Prieta, announced yes
terday that they are about to start
negotiations with contractors and
builders for the building of the Casa
Blanca, which is to be a beautiful up
to-date club with fine well ventilated
dance floor, the best foods that money
can buy and expert chefs can cook and
the best of service.
Plans for the Casa Blanca were first
drawn many months ago and the
building was planned to be erected at
that time, but owing to the press of
other business and trip to France by
Sammarcelli the project was post
poned Both partners are now agreed
that the time is ripe for the erection
of the fine new club and state that it
will not be put off a second time.
Land has been secured for the club
on he corner of the block which is di-
rectly in front of one as soon as the
border is crossed at the port. The
owners had this location in mind for
a fine resort years ago and only waited
IN opportunity to secure the land to
complete their plans.
The new club will be built along
lines somewhat similar TO those of the
new Foreign club at ,Naco, according
to Williams and Sammarcelli. 1t is
their intention, they state, to arect a
club and clabaret which. will be fine
enough for anyone and will mark
Douglas and Aqua Prieta on the map
as having as fine a resort as any bor-
der city.
No definite date for the starting Of
construction has been set as the build
ers have their regular business to at
tend to and are carrying on their
negotiations for the new club in their
spare moments until it is far enough
along to demand their full attention.
They promise, however, that the build
ing will actually be built during the
coming months.

mediate future, he says and it is the
forecast of the growers that figs will
become very important factor in the
fruit production of Arizona.
cit appears that the California fig
orchards have fallen upon i'll luck"
the Douglas man reports. "T here
has been considerable loss to the Cali
fornia crop because of an insect that
attacks the fruit and brings a rot in
it that makes it unfit for market and
the amount of this trouble is SO large
that it has made the question ~ serious
one as to whether it will not eventually
make fig growing in that state un-
profitable Arizona's crop does not re-
quire the methods of culture which the
California crop needs and which has
brought on much of this trouble, so
it is the belief that Arizona growers
can easily win strong position in the
market.
Figs command good average
price and the early fruit very hand
some price, so if it is found to be true
that this state can grow them advan-
.tageously and without the loss shown
in our neighbor state, it is regarded as
certain that growing figs will become
an important industry to the state.
Already large packing outfit has
promised packing plant as soon as
the acreage warrants it and reports in
the section where the interest just now
is very great are that the orchards
will soon be such as to cause that to
be started"

'The relation of any business group
to- a chamber of commerce is the
same as that of any other business
group. If the realtors, the mer-
chants, the manufacturers and others
each organize separately for the pur-
pose of carrying out community
building program, there could be no
chamber of commerce. There would
be instead duplication of effort
and a working at cross purposes.

people to come to the city and like

Following Browns address, Presi-

and if there was any business man or
other citizen who felt that he had a
helpful idea to offer it WA9ld be gladly

TWO BOYS ARE GIVEN
LIBERTY ON. PROMISE
TO LEAVE THIS AREA

Walter Mcmillan and James Ross,
the two minors of the dog catching
force of the city which was broken up
when the senior member was sent to
the penitentiary for horse stealing,
were released from custody yesterday
afternoon upon agreement that they
absent themselves definitely and perm
anently from this district They agreed
to do this.
These boys, one aged Is and the
other about II, are representatives of
what authorities state is growing
army of unattached youth. While one
of these boys claims to have some rela-
tives and some sort of a home in the
Bisbee district, the other one denies
that he has any parents and any home
and neither care. The elder boy was
held in an attempt by Bisbee officers
to connect him with a car theft after
he had proved that he did not aid the
head dog catcher in stealing horse.
The younger boy was held simply be-
cause there was nothing else that could
be done with him and they were both
finally released because the only other
course open was to send them to re-
form school which, authorities point
out, would probably not have bene-
fitted either boy and could certainly
have added expense to the taxpayers.

BRILL MAKES A
FORCED LANDING.
F AN S LIKE T

Carrying passengers from the fair
ground aviation field on Sunday after
neon, George Brill, pilot for the Mum
sell-Brill flying service, demonstrated
the ease and safety with which, a fore
ed landing can be made anywhere in
the Dougas district. Brill was up some
700 feet over Douglas when the left
half of his motor quit him. He coasted
across the country and set the ship
down on an even keel as lightly
as feather on ranch about a mile
from the fair ground field.
AS an instance of how easily persons
become confident in the air, the two
passengers who were with Brill when
he was forced down refused to give up
their ride and waited while a new
distributor head was brought from the
hangars ito the ranch and put into the
ship. They went up again with Brill
when the engine sounded off and for
the remainder of the afternoon Brill
hauled some 40 persons on sightseeing
trips, nearly all of whom knew about
the ship having been forced down.
Brill explains that it is not very
likely that ship will ever be cracked
up III GnS OUuS1dS QlSCI1CG UCCkuSC,
as he explains, there is one continuous
landing field all over this part of Co
chise county and if a plane is as much
as 500 feet up in the air, he says, it
can always be brought down on y
level place here. He explains that in
a mountainous region this would not
be true and that higher flying would
be safer as then one would be able to
glide further in case of trouble in
search of a level spot.
This forced landing marks the sec
ond here this winter. The first was
made by George Faw, a commercial
pilot, whose motor quit him complete
ly. He also made a perfect landing
and was carrying passenger at the
time. Faws passenger was even more
eager to try the experiment. over again
than were Brill's passengers yesterday.
The NIunsell-Bril1 flying service re-
ports great progress with. their flying
school, They have several students
from Douglas and have carried their
advertising into the Bisbee district
from which tiN9y report number of
recruits have come recently.

LICENSES STILL
COME IN SLOWLY
TIME is SHORT

Deputy Assessor. James "A. Howell
announced last night that he had
received rs applications for 1928 auto
mobile licenses on Monday. This is
the same number as was received
on Saturday and bring the total up
to 648 taken at the offices in the city
hall since the drive started. Accord
ing to figures there are from $500 to
1000 yet to come in from this dis
trict and the plates must be on the
cars by February 1.
Again the county assessor urges
that everyone remember in coming to
the office that he must have the
certificates of title before the appli-
catio.s can be made out He must
also know the number of the 1927
license Howell says that many peo-
pie come to the office who cannot
remember their license number and
have forgotten their certificate of
title. This bothers the assessor, holds
up his work and makes a double trip
for those who forget.
Truck owners must turn in their
certificates of title together with the
weights of their trucks so that the
certificates can be sent to Phoenix
to be reissued with additional data.
This is new regulation and one that
is causing much trouble as the truck
owners expect to get their plates
without any fuss and find that they
must. procure additional information
and turn in their certificates. Howell
will issue receipts for these titles
and the new ones will be mailed out
to the owners.
