Topics for next Sunday are as fol-
lows: Morning, 'Retrospect of the
Closing year," evening, 1.-THE Power
of God in the Gospel"
1.-The Child of Bethlehem, Our Saw
Jour-" was the topic of Rev. Moxie's
sermon last Sunday night. The Soc
ond chapter of St. Luke with the &C.
count of the birth of Christ was read
for the lesson, and the sermon was
from the eleventh verse, For unto
you is born this day in the CITY Of
David Saviour, which is Christ the
Lord" Christ became living reality
to lift men up to boundless possibilities,
not alone for his own generation and
generations to follow but for bound
less time. Great men have come into
the world since the birth of Christ. but
because of sin none of them could com.
pare with Christ who alone was per-
feet. Christ was the most sublime of
all characters and the grandest power
on earth. Rev. Moxie spoke of the
many elements in the character of
Christ that made his personality so
great and good. The sermon was a.
fine exposition of the life and character
of Christ.

Rev. Crate delivered a fine Christ
mas sermon last Sunday evening using
as his topic, 1.-THE Unwelcome Child"
He took for his text the seventh verse
of the second chapter of ST. Luke.
Though his birth was foretold by
prophets and heralded by angels yet
was Christ rejected and despised of
men. Though rejected by his own and
crucifed, to-day every church spire is
monument to him. But there are some
people to-day who are like Herod the
king, and would cruelty the Child OF
Bethlehem. The spirit of Christ was
not in the church as it should be. Ma
ture is beautiful and some think good
enough to worship, but Nature will
never forgive sin. Christ wass the
greatest benefactor of humanity. Rev.
Crate drew beautiful lesson from his
theme which was inspiring and up
lifting.

Hans Piehl, Jr. of Freer, was in town
Tuesday and called at the UNION office
for few minutes visit. He bought
last spring 60 acres of land on the east
shore OF Mile Laos lake near Opstead,
and intends to move onto the same
next spring and improve it. He paid
81 for the land and has already been
offered SO for the land, but will not
sell at this figure. Mr.. Piehl says
there is one tract of 1000 acres near
where he bought that includes about
400 acres of fine bluejoint meadow that
can be bought in lump at So, and he
says that good land around the lake at
that figure is cheap.

Large Contract for Watches.

An American firm has agreed to
deliver 1900 watches during the next
year. This is by far the largest order
ever given for time pieces. Since the
practice of giving watches as premiums
has become so common a large number
OF firms are kept busy supplying them
for this purpose alone. ''Golden Grain
Belt'' beer needs no premium to sell it
for it is brewed from the purest barley
malt and hops and should be used in
every home. Order of your dealer or

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Our contemporary seems to be very sorely grieved at the fact that re- publican party exists in Arizona, as will be seen by the following: Had it not been for the federal official push bolting conventions, there would be no such thing as a Hanna republican party organization in Arizona today
 Our contemporary has considerable to say this morning about bolting re- publicans. Those referred to must be those who left the party to follow Bryanism, as those are the only bolt CTS of the party that We have heard of. With few exceptions even they have returned to the fold again, having seen the error of their ways.
 Out of over two columns of politi- cal dissertations, plentifully padded with Journal Murphy" allusions, We are at loss yet to arrive at a conclu- sion as towhether the Ohio democracy that turned Bryanism down by an Overwhelming" vote is considered true democracy by our contempo- rary, or whether Bryan is ''it." There is nothing undemocratic" in the plat form it says. If there is only one true democracy it must either be the prin- ciples advocated by Bryan, or those advocated by the Ohio convention which turned Bryanism down Which?

Oil Compared With Coal ss Fuel.

With the proposed prospecting for oil in this section the results obtained with oil for fuel as compared with coal, will be found interesting. Kerr's Report has the following on the sub ject:
 "The Southern Pacific Ky. which uses more petroleum as fuel in it's locomotives than any other railway in the United States, has recently given out the figures and facts from actual tests from its engineering department which shows that about TO gallons of fuel oil equals one short ton of bi- luminous coal. The gravity of the of the oil was about Is degrees Baume, flash point 240 F., fire point 290 F. MT. Stillman, the engineer of tests of the Southern Pacific found that the Texan oil has several advan- tages over the California product.
 President Ripley of the Santa Fe gives out the following facts on fuel oil tests on that railway:
 Twenty five passenger and freight engines on thirty day run used 2077 tons of coal and covered 7.063 miles or about 42 miles per ton. This means $500 miles per month for each engine. Oil at Sl.33 per barrel would at this figure cost 14 40 cts. per mile. Our oil was 15 degrees Baume.
 Twenty five passenger and freight engines 30 days same conditions burning coal cost B 2-10 cts per mile.
 President Ripley by further experi- ments figured that oil at g per bar rel is equivalent to coal at S6.60 per ton"

cREMATED THEIR VlcTIm.
A Mexican who was Killed bys Train m Mexico Showed Into the Firebox
 ofthe Engine for Fuel.

Fl Paso sends out more wierd and
 improbable stories, as alleged news
 to the associated press than any other
 town in the United States. The lat est improbable yarn was sent from there July Is, as follows: A fireman belonging to an American train crew, formerly operating on a southern di- vision of the Mexican Central rail way, in the interior of the republic, told an unusual story here today, which has not been public until he and his companions had escaped to the United States and were safe be- yond the reach of Mexican authori- ties.
 Some days ago the freight engine to which the fireman belonged ran over Mexican at remote point in the interior, killing him almost in stantly. Knowing full we'll that they would be thrown in prison and held for an indefinite period as soon as the accident was discovered by the Mexi- can officials, the trainmen were great ly troubled over the situation in which they found themselves.
 They were running between stations when the accident occurred and the region thereabouts was but little fre- quented. Owing to this none of the inhabitants saw the catastrophe and it took the train men but short time to realize that if they could hide the body of the dead man they might es- cape to the border and avoid impris- onment in a Mexican jail before given an opportunity to disprove that the charge of criminal intent was not theirs.
 Accordingly they held consulta- ton and decided that the most effec- tive way to dispose of the body would be to cremate it in the locomotive firebox. All agreed to this and the body and other evidences of violence were gathered up and cast into the furnace.
 The train then proceeded, and be- lore the next station was reached the corpse had been reduced to ashes. The train men lost no time in making their way to Fl Paso and all succeed ed in escaping before the officers and relatives of the deceased discovered | hat he had been killed.

CLIMATIC TRUTH TELLERS.
Tucson and PhenH Citizens Contrasted in Their Statements-A Phenecian Tells How to Keep Cool
 in His City.

The people of Tucson are a public spirited, liberal minded, energetic lot of folks. There are no knockers there and they are always striving to ad- vance the interests of their town. Any citizen of Tucson is willing at any time to swear that his town is the coolest, the liveliest and the most pro- gressive in the southwest. If Phenix people would only emulate the ex- ample of Tucson in this respect it would be to the advantage of Phenix Tucson is certainly prosperous town and will continue to be.-Gazette.
 Public spirited, "liberal minded is one way of expressing it, in fact that may be what they call it down in Tucson, but up in the mountain re- zion the common expression for such exaggerated statements is just plain ordinary lying. But the Gazette misjudges its citizens too. Among themselves they may indulge in such knocking" expressions as Gee Whiz ain't it hot;" ''Is this hot enough for you;" "Hades ain't marker to the heat here," and such similar truthful utterances, but when they get away from home they can be depended up on to be as ''liberal minded" and as public spirited" as any citizen oi Tucson, or in other words to lay the liberal minded citizen of Tucson in the shade by lying.
 This was demonstrated a few days ago in Prescott, when citizen ot Phenix seated on the veranda on the north side of the Hotel Burke, with the cool breezes flaming his brow was complaining of the heat and di lating on the beauties and comfort oi the Phenix climate. He said the pleasantest time of the year there wa: really in the summer. The heat was uncomfortable, at times, in the shade but in the sun it was always pleasant All one had to dc" he said, "when il Phenix, and feeling uncomfortable was to get out in the sun, as that wa; really the coolest place." If Tucsor has any more liberal minded citizer than the above, the Journal Miner ha: picture of George Washington tC give him on receipt of his testimony as to the Tucson climate.
 If Tucson is not heard from within a reasonable time, the picture will gC to Truthful George" of Phenix.

LONESOME VALLEY
 OIL FIELDS
A Company Fully Incorporated to Prospect 1t and Demonstrate Whether Oil Exists.
Most Flsttsring Indications Are Said ts Be Found and sueesss Scene Certain.

Articles of incorporation of the
 Arizona Oil and Mineral Company
 have been filed for record and the
 company is now ready for business.
 The incorporators are Joseph Dough
 erty, F. l.. Wright, J. B. Cleveland,
 R. H. Burmister and John J. Hawk
 ins. The board of directors, in addi-
 tion to the above incorporators, is
 composed of the following: Hugo
 Richards, E. W. Wells, Geo. H.
 Schuerman, H. voge, A. J. Head and
 B. Kaufman.
 Its officers are J. J. Hawkins, pres ident, and J. B. Cleveland, secretary and treasurer. As will be noted by the names connected with it, it iss Prescott company, and it's purpose is to develop the Lonesome Valley oil fields. Expert after expert has ex- amined the surface indications and have unanimously expressed the opinion that both oil and gas exists there, and that gas iL abundance will be found at depth of not to exceed 500 feet. The pressure is so great that in many places it is finding iis way to the surface.
 Mir. Kaufman, who is an expert in both oil and gas, and who pio- neered the Corsicana, Texas, field, putting down the first well is quite enthusiastic over the Lone some valley indications. He says that gas will be struck inside of 600 feet in depth. An Indiana gas man who recently visited the place and made thorough examination of it was also equally enthusiastic over the indications. He expressed his opinion of the existence of gas there in very emphatic and forcible lan- guage.
 The company has contracted for nearly 5000 acres of land of the choicest locations and of shose first made, containing the best indications for oil. It is its purpose to purchase it's own Standard rig just as soon sss sufficient amount of stock is sold to do SO and to seek the most procnisiug on the entire tract and sink a we'll upon it. The greatest estimate of depth is 1200 feet, while, as stated, it is generally believed that gas, if not oil. will be struck st no greater depth than 500 feet and that t will be found to be under pressure of 500 or 500 pounds to the square inch.
 The success of this enterprise means more than can be estimated for this section of the country. The discov- cry of either gas, oil or water in that section in paying quantities would be of incomparable value, and the com pany that pioneers the field, while not acting from unselfish motives, will prove public benefactors. It is hoped that the enterprise will prove abund- ,ntly successful.

Cleaning of Sidewalks Needed.

Prescott, A. T., July 22-Editor Journal Miner. - Pedestrians who have been using the south side of Gurley street as a means of access to East Prescott, tempted thereto by the clean sidewalks, have been forced to the other side of the street by the mass of sticky, black adobe deposited on the walks from the high school property by the late heavy rains.
 With other residents of the district mentioned, Iwould respectfully direct the attention of the school board to the condition of the thoroughfare in front of the high school property, beg of them early restoration of the clean walks we have prized so highly and used so diligently. It would not seem a matter of very great expense to prevent recurrence of the trouble.
 Respectfully,
 East Prescott.
