Tucson, juno llth.- Colonel William
Christy, president of the Valley Bank

Pricsto Sonora, and tells of the mas
sacre of Vague men, women and chill
dren yesterday in Santa Rosa canyon,
thirty-fivc miles from the Minas Prize
tas mines, by Il detachment Of General
Torres troops.
From Chri9ty's statement it appears
that the Vague forces, which have been
operating in that section, had moved
farther into the mountains, leaving all
their women and children in Santa
Rosa canyon under guard of eighty
men.
Including all the i'aquis numbered
800. General Torres dipatchcd 600
troops to block the mouth of the can

The MeXicans sccrcted themselves
along the sides of the canyon after
having blocked the entrance. At day
light they opened Il deadly fire upon
the unsuspecting Iaquis. killing men,
women and children indiScriminately.
Many of the killed were mere in

only stopped their work of shooting

Colonel Chri~ty says the IaQuis do
not care to fight, and that they are

desperation by the McNicans. and as

any, on the wind would seem to be lost
as this current does not approach
within 1000 miles of Puget sound
country. The relative warmth of the
ocean over which the winds must blow
is itself a sufficient cause of any rela-
lively high temperature accompany
ing the wind. The moisture of these
winds is obtained from the same mex
haustible source, the ocean.
The warmth of the dry Chinook in
Montana and the one described by Mr..
Pague occurring west of the Cascades
is derived in a different manner. 1t re-
suits from a compression of air de-
Bceuding from a mountain, the mOis-
ture of which has been distracted on
the other slope. These winds are Of
the same nature as the foehn wind of
Europe, and by some writer's these two
terms are used anonymously. The
dry Chinook wind is defined by Prof
Harrington, formerly chief of the
weather bureau, as follows: ga warm
dry, westerly or northerly wind oc-
curing on the eastern slopes of the
mountains of the northwest, beginning
;
from a few hours to several days"
Others make the definition somewhat
broader. According to them this wind
is defined as a warm, dry wind from
the southeast, south, or southwest
when west of the Rocky mountains,
and from the southwest, west or north
west when east of the Rocky noun
tains, beginning at any hour of the day
or night and continuing from few
hours to several days.

ditions are then ripe for high spring
floods. If frequent visitations of the
Chinook have occurred, much of the
snow on the plains will have either dis
appeared through evaporation or been
converted into a hardened mass of
snow and ice. AS ice it remains long
time unmelted in the ravines and af-
fords an abundant supply of water for
the creeks and rivers during the sue
ceeding spring and early summer. In
either event the danger from floods
from this source is practically elimin-
ated. 1t might appear at first thought
that these hot winds. which so sudden
ly denude the plains of snow, would
themselves cause floods. Such is not
generally the case. These winds are
intensely dry, having lost their moist
ure on the other side of the divide.
Accordingly, they reach the eastern
slope bereft of their original damp
ness, but possessing a manifold capac-
ity for absorbing moisture from any
source available. The melting snow
supplies this source, and so rapidly
does the evaporation follow that floods
caused by the Chinook alone are prac-
tically unknown.
The rate and the amount of tenn
perature change vary, the distribution
of atmospheric pressure being theco
trolling factor. A rise of 20 to 40 in 10
or Is minutes frequently occurs, al
though the change is not always so
great. The table following shows the
temperature at the stations named on

Text of Statement Made to Operate rs
and Labor Leaders.
Washington, Oct. 4.-The following
is the statement which President
Roosevelt made before the conference
of railroad presidents and labor lead
ers held at the white house Friday:
81 wish to call your attention to the
fact that there are three parties af-
fected by the situation in the anthra-
cite trade: the operators, the miners
and the general public. l speak for
neither the operators nor the miners,
but for the general public. The ques-
lions at issue which led to the situation
affect Immediately the parties con-
cerned-,the operators and the miners;
but the situation itself vitality affects
the public. AS long as there seemed to
be a reasonable hope that these mat
tiers could be adjusted between the par
ties it did not seem proper to me to in
tervene in any way. L disclaim any
right OF duty to intervene IN this way
upon legal grounds or upon any official
relation that I bear to the situa ton;
but the urgency and the terrible ma
ture of the catastrophe impending
over large portion of our people in
the shape Of a winter fuel famine i'm
pei me. after much anxious thought,
to believe that my duty re-
quires me to use whatever influence L
personally can to bring to an end a
situation which has become literally
intolerab BILE. I wish to emphasize the
character CT the situation and to say
that its gravity is such that l am con-
strained urgently to insist that each
one of you realize the heavy burden of
responsibility upon him. We are upon
the threshold of winter with an already
existing coal famine the future ter
rors of which we can hardly yet appre-
ciate.
'The evil Possibilities are so far
reaching, so appalling, that it seems to
me that you are not only justified in
sinking but required to sink for the
time being any tenacity as to your re-
spective claims in the matter at issue,
between you. In my judgment the
situation imperatively' requires that
YOU meet upon the common plane of
the necessities of the public. With all
the earnestness there is in me I ask
that there be an immediate resumption
of. operations in the coal mines in
some such way as will without days
unnecessary delay meet the crying
needs of the people.
81 do not invite discussion of your
respective claims and positions. I APP
peal to your patriotism, to the spirit
that sinks personal considerations and
makes individual sacrifices for the gen.
eral good"

II not for the visitations of this warm,

have to be abandoned in the winter,
as the cattle and other stock, prevent

to the nutritious grasses on the plains,

cording to the testimony of stockmen
in this region, the advent of the Chi

means of saving their herds not only
from starvation, but from freezing.
Instinctive1y, the cattle seem to antlc1-

that were it not for the Chinook wind

Aside from its temperature, the
Chinook bears an important relation
to the amount of snow remaining on
