HUNDREDS SEE
TURKEY CREEK
HOTEL OPENED

More than 500 persons visited the
Rancho Manzanita last Sunday to
inspect the new hotel and see what
the management has to offer to the
guests, according to Edward HI
Dunno, manager, who was in Douglas
over Tuesday night on business for
the hostlery. 1t was the statement
of Dunno that the outpouring of the
people of Southern Arizona proved
gratifying surprise both to him
and to the owner, Mrs. E. E. Aims
worth, and that as a result of that
interest and the further fact that
reservations now on file insure
capacity at the hotel until into March
has caused steps to be started already
for substantial enlargement of the
new hotel to have adequate accom-
mediation for those desiring them
next year. He forecasts that the
capacity will probably be doubled
within the IL months from the day
the hotel was opened.
The accurate check of the visitors
on the opening day discloses that at
in the afternoon more than $50
had been taken through and at that
time there were SIS being shown
through by the attendants. There
was an almost constant line of cars
arriving until after s in the evening
and the average number to the car
appears to have been about three
persons, so that it is apparent that
there was fine interest in the new
resort.
Throughout the. time OF the In
spection, visitors were served with hot
chocolate or coffee and sandwiches
and cake and everyone was given a
cordial welcome to the place. Judged
by the exclamations of approval as
they passed through, the visitors felt
pleased with their trip to the new
plant and Mrs. Ainsworth was show
cred with congratulations over her
property.
Guests now at the hotel have been
quite as enthusiastic about the resort
as any of the visitors there only for
6 few minutes. The guests are find
ing an abundance OF entertainment
diversion in the hiking, riding, golf
and other features and are reported
by Dunno as loud in their praise
of them.
The hotel already is in position to
serve people any time they may come
for meals, whether it be for one
meal of for week or months
accommodation. The guests from a
distance are being met at the railway
by automobile conveyance to carry
them out to the nlace, the car being
a large closed one.
In the party OF visitors at the
opening were many OF the most
PROMINENT people OF both Douglas
and Bisbee including public officials
and leaders Intbusiness and. financial
ard professional lines, accompanied
by their wives and families. The
opening resulted in one big social
gathering Of an informal character
and sent everybody away pleased with
the addition TO the hotel acccmnloda-
tions OF Coclllse county.

charge of the American consulate in
Aqua Prieta, reports that he issued
visas for the passports yesterday of a
family of four in which four different
nationalities are represented. The
family is made up of husband and
wife and two children. The husband
is an actor and is q native of Cuba.
The wife is native of Spain. One
of the children was born in Panama
and the other in Mexico.
AS a person is presumed to be of
the nationality of the country in
which he is born, this family repre-
Sents four countries There were seven
in the party that applied yesterday for
visas for their passports. Besides the
family representing many nations there
was another Cuban with a Mexican
wife and an unmarried Mexican girl
in the party.
They are travelling show company
and have been touring the United
States ON set of passports giving
them a time limit on their visit They
liked this country so much that they
returned to Aqua Prieta to secure the
necessary authority to make their stay
in the United States permanent. I'm
der the regulations the Spanish wife
would have had to wait probably many
years for quota number in order to
enter the United States if she had not
been married to Cuban. Upon TAX
ing the nationality of her husband the
obstacles 10 her entry into this country
were removed.
