CH|CAGOANS DESIRE INFORMATION IN TRIP
 THROUGH TERRITORY

Julian D. Sears, of the Geological Survey Division, Department of the Interior suggested to the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, Chicago, that they write to the Seward Chamber of Commerce for information which the department could not give.
 The text of the information desired is along the following lines; Two men, in their early thirties, are plan ming a trip to Alaska next summer with tentative plans of going up Cor dova, Kennecott, and to Fairbanks then back to Seward, stopping off at Mckinley National Park enroute. From Seward they wish to go Vest ward to all feasible points, including the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. They do not wish to spend more than 10 days on the trip to the famous val lev. They are particularly interested in obtaining boat information, the time 'required, trail conditions, and the status of accomodations.

SEVENTY ASK
FOR new CAR
TAGS MONDAY

Only 20 persons made application
yesterday at the offices of the county
assessor in the city hall for 1928 Ii
cense plates for their automobiles.
There are only seven more shopping
days until the first of the new month
On Feb. 1, according to the ruling of
the motor vehicle department of the
state highway department, all cars
must have new plates by that time.
The check Of cars parked about town
reveals now that about half have the
new plates, while week ago the new
plates were displayed on about third
of the cars. The number of foreign
cars here this year appears to be much
larger than in any former year, al
though there are no figures securable
from any source on this subject. All
of these cars, if they stay here must
finally have the Arizona 1928 licenses
in addition to al the regular cars that
have been here since last year.

EDGAR ALLEN POE'S
GRAVE is VISITED BY
MANY THOUSANDS

Edgar Allan. Poes TOMB in West
minister Graveyard, Baltimore, is no
longer lonely and neglected. A hand
some gate through the old brick wall
now gives immediate access from the
street to the tomb Around the tomo
are neat paths and well-kept grass
and hedge Every spring the grave is
resodded. A caretaker has been in
stalled and placards have been placed
in public places inviting people to
Poe's resting place. In 1924 the total
of visitors to the poets grave was less
than 5OO In March of the following
year the Press Club of Baltimore Sc
cured permission from the First Pres
byterian Church of Baltimore, owner
of the Westminster graveyard, to
take charge and care for Poes grave.
Since then $4,000 registered visitors,
representing eighteen foreign coun-
tries and forty-six states, have visited
the spot, many leaving flowers or
notes of tribute Many after visiting
the grave go to the Church Home
Hospital where Poe died. A COM
memorative tablet has been placed in

MAN DEPORTED
BY ship COMES
BACK AT ONCE

D. G. Kinne, inspector in charge
of the United States immigration de-
tachments for the port and district of
Douglas has little booklet entitled,
1.-The Leaky Melting Pot" He has a
little bale of reports and documents
on his desk at the customs house
offices that represent one very telling
case of a leak in the melting pot.
The rest of the title of the little
book is ''and a way to mend it,"
Kinne is studying the book and a
great stack of government regulations
and instructions in quest of "way
to mend" this particular leak. OF
course the melting pot is the United
States in which the peoples of all
nations are supposed to be melted up
into genuine Americans and the leaks
refer to peoples who are not wanted,
getting into the pot The leaks are
in-leaks, not outleaks.
The one in question involves one
Francisco Rivas, Mexican who is
classed as an undesirable alien and
who has been given what is known
as voluntary returns to Mexico until
the toe wore from the deporting Of
ficer's boot In voluntary return
the victim, or rather the undesirable
is told that he is undesirable and is
asked what he wishes to do. He then
says that he wants to go back to his
native land The officer takes him
to the border and figuratively kicks
him across.
Rivas didn't stay deported. He had
a habit of showing up all too often
in some alley in Douglas. The man
used marijuana which is a drug OF
high potency which renders its user
violently peculiar. The man was dis
tinctly not wanted in the United
States. Finally the immigration Off
GERS gave him real, genuine, deporta-
ton and he was shipped to the coast
and put on a steamer which landed
him in Vera Cruz, Mexico. That was
Just before the first of the year.
Francisco Rivas was picked up on
the streets of Douglas yesterday ana
Jailed on a charge of vagrancy. He
is being investigated. Officers say
that there is little doubt that he beat
the deportation ship back to THIS
country from Vera Cruz. The lmml-
grafton service here admits that there
are leaks in the melting pot and that
many of them can be mended by Or
binary methods but they would like
to know what is to be done with a
fellow who can travel, with no IL
nances, across the republic of Mexico
faster than an ocean liner can steam
up the coast.

ARREST PAIR IN
STOLEN CAR--CET
MISSING AUTOS

OF five cars stolen in this district
over the weekend, four had been ac-
counted for by Douglas and Cochise
county officers before dark last night
and two men had been jailed for the
theft of one of the cars. This par
ticular car was recovered before it
wes reported stolen
The peculiar manner of this was
that Rube Wells and Fred Bennett,
deputy sheriffs of the county were
driving down the highway toward
Douglas from Tombstone when, near
the Twin Buttes they met two men
tinkering with a stalled car. These
men asked the deputies for ride into
Douglas.
The men gave the names of Will
l9.rd Cook and Jack Rogers when
Deputy Sheriff o. A. Ash finger print
ed them. They apparently did not
notice guns or badges on the men who
gave them the ride into Douglas and
81 talked freely. The officers became
suspicious. They had noted that
the car the men had abandoned car
ried a Pima county license plate.
The sheriff in Tucson was called
on the telephone. He said, eyes, that
car was stolen here at six o'clock this
morning. I was just getting ready
to send out information on it." The
Tucson sheriff is sending man to
get the car and the two men who
were found with it.
Manuel Romero, Alberto SoSa and j.
Dorantes each lost a car in Aqua
Prieta over the week end Romero's
car was found with the tires and
other valuables stripped from it. So
sa's car was found burned up. The
Dorantes car he's not been located and
officers are warming up for vlgor-
GUS attempt to recover it as so lar
but one stolen car has ever gone
clear out of this area.
The fifth car, small one stolen
from Bisbee on Sunday night was
found abandoned near Benson on
Monday. Officers could offer no ex-
PLANTATION yesterday for the sudden
squirt in car thefts or for the burning
of the one machine. They are con-
fident that they will recover the one
still missing out of the week END
batch
Sosas car was insured by the Tom
Glenn agency as was that of Doran-
tes, while the car stolen from Romero
was insured in the Fred Hubben
agency.

LESLIE CANYON
ROAD REVEALS
SCENIC BEAUTY

Discovery was made yesterday by
road inspection party that one of the
most beautiful scenic highways in this
part of the state is being built up Les
lie canyon. The road llas-been COM
pleted up the conyon almost to where
the hiqhwav crosses the wash with
the high cliffs on the left hand as
ore drives up the canyon.
There is g winding descent into the
csnvon where the road taps the rise
conning in from the southwest that is
equal in highway engineering and the
bealItv Of the unfolding panorama to
anything that has been built in this
part of the county. The rugged for
nations in the Leslie canyon district
ere unusual.
There are more varied colors in the
rocks Of this district and so many
bald jagged piles stick up against the
sky or nestle between rolling hills that
the sharp purple rocks make a fine
contrast to the smoother hills The
scene is altogether beautiful and in
spring. The construction of the new
road takes it into the canyon several
miles southeast of the actual mouth
Of the canyon and thus climbs over
the canyon wall giving sufficient un-
obstructed elevation so that the beau
ties of a great expanse of country
are unfolded before the motorist
This road has taken a great amount
of labor as nearly every foot of it has
been shot from the rock The speci-
fications call for continuation of the
beautiful broad smooth highway all
the way up Leslie canyon and on
across the uplands to Rucker canyon.
While it will probably not be complet-
ed within another year the part which
is now finished is worth driving out
to see and from the end of the new
road one may take the old road on
over to Rucker.

The South demanded a platform
recognizing the rights of the slave
holders, which would have been
poison to the party in the North.
Boilers Nominate
On the tenth day of its session
the convention adjourned to Balti-
more to try all over again. The
boilers, meanwhile, had met in an
other Charleston hall and adopted
pro-slavery resolutions as its plat
form. They nominated John G.
Breckenridge and Joseph Lane.
Reassembling at Baltimore six
weeks later, the regular convention
was ruled by a Douglas steam roll
Ter. Some of the secederc were
back and there was new delegates.
A second bolt followed, led by Vir-
ginia delegates, and with about 100
delegates voting, Douglas was nom
mated almost unanimously by
waving the strict two-thirds inter
probation, with Benjamin Fitzpat-
rick of Alabama for second place.
Campaign Is Hopeless
Thus the two wings of the party
entered hopeless campaign. One
more ticket was entered prior to
the Republican convention, that of
the Constitutional Union party,
which nominated John Bell of Ten
neSSee and Edward Everett of Mas
sachusetts.
This party was designed to save
the Union, but even here, with dele
gates from nearly every State, the
North-South struggle broke out
when northern delegates refused to
take Sam Houston, the southern
choice, for the party candidate.
The platform called for support
of the Constitution and the Union,
and for peace and tranquility. Bell,
the candidate, was a pro-slavery

The two greatest figures in the
national politics, however, were
Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham
Lincoln Of Illinois.
Lincoln to Front
Lincoln, who had tried to get a
lame duck appointment to the Gen
eral Land Office after he realized
he couldn't be reelected to Con-
gress some years before, was brought
out by the Illinois Republicans be-
cause they needed a man to beat
Douglas for Senator.
With the Buchanan adminiStra-
ton now bitterly opposed to him
and with strong Republican front
at home, Douglas was in a bad way.
But he was a master of logic, re-
sourceful, audacious and an almost
unconquerable debater.
Only Lincoln, calm, philosophical
truth-loving, possessed of a sense
OF honor and the aptness of Frank
lin could hope to cope with 1.-THE
Little Giant"
Lincoln began the campaign with
his great speech in which he said:
"a house divided against itself can
not stand. This Nation can not be
halt slave and half free" Douglas
attacked him as an enemy of the
Union"
Douglas Is Elected
Regardless of who won the de-
bates, Douglas won the Senate cleo
ton, but wrecked himself in the
South to do it. Through the Buch-
anan Administration opposion
Douglas was barely able to carry
the State Legislature, though de-
feated in the popular vote.
Delegates to the Democratic con-
vention assembled at Charleston,
S. c., on April %. Douglas, the
schemer, led those from the North.
The northern delegates demanded
the nomination of Douglas and
platform on which they could win
in their home States.

Don't let me overdo this dear
teacher stuff, Crys," Tony begged
in whisper, as the two girls waited
in the hall of one of Stanton's

some one to answer their knock

The still beautiful, though no

noplussed, then recovered her poise
quickly, inviting the girls in, with
little COOS Of assumed pleasure.
It was not one of the least ex-
pensive suites in the building, Tony
decided. At least three rooms, and
the living room was salon-like in
its extent and tasteful furnishings,
running strongly to combinations Of
soft, dull blue, and softer, duller
rose, in taffeta Grapes, brocade up
holstery and Persian rugs.
Tony decided again not to allow
herself to feel at all sorry for a
school teacher who could accom-
plish a place like this-at her age!
Her grim resolution was strength
ened by the discovery OF her own
fathers picture, framed in beaten
silver, atop fine old walnut book
