MACKEY THANKS
EVERYBODY FOR
THEIR INTEREST

Work of adjusting the losses caused
by the GaGsden hotel fire is going for
ward quite rapidly and it is the hope
Of the adjusters in charge that it will
be q comparatively short program, al
though they can not forecast outcomes
under such circumstances. Two of the
adJusterS have already been on the
ground and one of them has complet-
ed his portion of the work and has
gone. The second expects to be through
with his part OF it today or tomorrow.
The third had not arrived yesterday
and Just how long it will take him
after he arrives is q matter that can
not be anticipated.
L. M, Mckinley, of Phoenix, was first
here and he left Saturday. Frank
Culin, Of Tucson, came second and he
is busy now and hopes TO finish today,
while the third is F. A. Henderson of
Los Angeles.
The large portion of the adjustment.
of course, will be that of the hotel
which was owned by F., o. Mackey
Mr.. Mackey whose home is at El PaSo,
came as soon as he learned the hotel
was burning and has announced his
plan to be here available at all times
for conferences with the adiusters in
arriving at a settlement and to help
them in every way that he can. He
states that he is quite anxious to have
the settlement made in order that he
can shape his personal program and
that settlement of his losses quickly
will materially promote his work at

"It occurs to me that probably I
may have been little lax in publicly
expressing my very keen appreciation
OF the splendid work of the fire and
police departments in their official
capacities and to the people of the
city generally for the remarkable spirit
of helpfulness they have shown to-
ward me. 1t has not been that I did
not recognize the fact, but one in a
stress such as Mrs. Mackey and have
been put through since last Tuesday
morning when she was awakened TO
find the hotel burning and was call
ed a little later to be told about it,
must be excused if, for the moment,
they overlook acknowledging some OF
the courtesies paid them. If we have
been tardy in making these acknowl-
edgments, I sincerely hope that the
people of Douglas will understand that
it was not lack of appreciation but
the pressure of circumstances that
caused it.
I'm this connection, there is another
matter to which I want to direct at
tention. I feel sincerely moved by the
splendid manner in which everybody
has put himself on record as wanting
us to rebuild the hotel and to remove
any possible obstacle that might make
that outcome doubtful. In fact, I feel
warranted in saying that would sug-
gest that it might even be wise to
await any steps to disband their own
