TRAFFIC WEST
GOING STRONG
GARAGES SHOW

Managers of garages where the prin-
cipal part of the tourist traffic store
their cars overnight when stopping in
Douglas, declare that the business has
held up quite well through the holi-
day period. 1t was stated yesterday
at the Bankhead Motor company's
garage and also at the Carson garage
that the tourists are rolling right ealong
and that the last three or four nigh.
have been ones of heavy traffic.
The most of the traffic just now is
the westward bound, the cold weather
having been anticipated by the people
from the east and the middle portions
Of the country and their tricks to the
lands of sunshine and flowers having
been begun with view of lodging it..
Northern routes just now are re-
ported not to be inviting for long dis
tance tourists, as there are numerous
places where the snow has had i'll
effects on the highways. For that rea-
son, with January and February to go,
it is the forecast that tourist travel
will largely be diverted to the Broad
way of America line from now until the
spring weather.

Officers Continue
Study Of Man Found
Under Stolen Cal

Victor B. Shreve, the man who was
arrested after crawling from the wreck
of stolen car on the highway near
st. David, was removed from the Doug
las Jail on Sunday and taken by deputy
sheriffs to the Tombstone Jail where
he will be held pending further in
vestigation. His finger prints were
taken early in the history of the case
and reports on them from the various
bureaus Of fingerprint Identification
are awaited.
Shreve denied having been in Doug
las on the night the car was stolen.
He said that he had been given ride
in it out Of Bisbee His story OF the
time the car arrived in Bisbee and
the police records in the matter did
net appear the same. The man denied
ownership of big silvered pistol found
in his suitcase following his arresss.
This gun answers the description OF
that used in the robbery of the Lone
Star service station on Christmas eve.
That the person or persons who stole
the car under which Shreve was
found, were professional car thieves, is
the opinion of investigating officers
owing to the fact that a California
icence plate was also found in Shreve's
possession The professional car thief,
according to the officers, secures extra
license plates and puts them on stolen
cars to avoid identification.

STEADY GROWTH
MARKS MONTHS
OF PAST YEAR

Douglas activities for the past IL
months indicates a steady and healthy
browth of the community.
During the first few months there
was large expenditure by the copper
interests for a new lead smelter and
the complete remodling of the old
smelter. Later, work w3s started on
the rebuilding of the Gadsden hotel,
job calling for the outlay of more
than 100000, which is not yet COM
plete.
Throughout the city there has been
greater volume of rebuilding and
repairing than in any year since the
war. Many habitable dwellings in the
city have been repaired, painted and
placed in good condition. Many. of
those which were found 10 be in un-
repairable state have been torn down.
Toward the latter part of the year
the beginnings of : building program
were evidenced and already some
houses have been started in this pro-
gram.
The city street department has car
ried on a steady program Of improve
ment There has been no paving as
the majority of the principal streets
of the city were paved years ago, but
these streets have been maintained and
all the unpaved streets have been
carefully graded up and placed in as
smooth and Serviceable condition as
possible.
One Of the greatest improvements
has been the rebuilding of the A
avenue ditch The city of Douglas
slopes west and south and in seasons
of heavy rainfall the city would be
flooded out were it not for this ditch
which bounds the city on the west.
This has been cleaned out and deep
ened from end to end in the past few
months by patrol from the regular
staff of the street department..
In Aqua Prieta, improvement has
been more marked than in Douglas if
anything. The International Commis-
sion company, as a proof of their faith
in the es, ablished stability of the
Mexican political and economic situa-
ton has moved its offices to the
southern side of the border from their
old quarters in Douglas and have re-
modelled the quarters there formerly
occupied by cafe This reinodeling
job has resulted in suitable new quar-
ters for the firm.
The light and power company re-
Gently formed in Aqua Prieta is prog
ressing rapidly with the construction
of big power plant which is to serve
that city with electricity, gas and ice,
according to the plans of the conces-
sionaires. This plant and the removal
to that city of the commission COM
pany offices adds to the Capitalization
of public utilities there and makes for
more independent situation for that
city.
Several resorts and cafes there have
been rernodeled during the year, max
ing 3 more attractive resort section for
visitors who flock to Aqua Prieta from
Douglas and surrounding towns,
