New Electric Valve.

A reporter on THE OASIS was called into the Nogales Water Co.'s office Thursday to view practical demonstration of how quickly the company would give the city the benefit of full pressure in case of fire. With stop watch in his hand Mr. Epriam touched an cleo tric button near his desk. By this simple pressure the new electric valve located mile away on the Sonora side of the line was opened. In less than five seconds time by the watch the gauge in the office was registering tremendously high pressure. The pressingof an other button closed the valve. The Engberg's Electric Valve Machine Co.,, of Decatur, Ill.,, the manufac turers of this valve, claim that 1t is the best in the world, and after seeing an exhibition of the same few would wish to deny their claim.

GOVERNOR RESIGNS.
Colonel Alexander o. Brodie to Sue ceed Mir. Murphy as Chief Executive of ari
 zOna.

Governor N O. Murphy has re- signed. The governor states that while for some time he has been tired of official life and has wishel to be relieved oi ts cares. he did not consider that he could, in jus tice to himself, retire wbiie he WIS the subject of continual attacks by his politieal opponents.
 It is very likely that the gov ernor will remove to Washington, to take up the practice of law, in which he has been eminently suc- cessful. Governor Murphy has re- gently been admitted to practice in the United States Supreme Court. It is likely, too, that he will devote considerable attention to mining and railroad interests, with which he has become identified His plans, however, are likely to be changed by the republican nomina- ton for delegate to Congress, t place for which Mr. Murphy is said to be a receptive candidate
 Governor Murphy's successor in the governors chair will be Colonel Alexander o. Brodie, who was sec ond in command of Roosevelt's Rough Riders. Col. Brodie has a very interesting history. He was graduated from West Point in 1870, and promoted to a. second lieuten- ancy in the same year. He served on frontier duty until 1877, when he resigned from the service. In 1871 he was especially commended for gallantry in action with the Apaches, and was recommended for brevet by General Crook for his services against the same tribe in 1872 73. When the Spanish-Amer- ican war broke out he organized the Arizona quota of the First United States cavalry, familiarity known as the Rough Riders. He organized, drilled and equipped the first squadron of the regiment at San Antonio, Texas, in May, 1898. He was wounded in the action at Las Guasimas, Cubl, on June 2f, his forearm being shattered by Mauser bullet. In this engagement he was in command of the left flank. In August he was made lieutenant-colonel of his regiment. He was especially commended by Generals Shafter, Wheeler, Young and Wood and Colonel Roosevelt.

struction. medical and sanitary service
and local rural communications and
postal service. They had the right to
elect their own executives and chair

The zemstvo thus established rem

last century not only villages but even
district and provincial towns had no

No postal communications existed for
the rural population and yet so per

country. Peculiar instruction was
equally neglected but once the zem-

the greatest achievements was the or

sources for the study of economic con-
ditions of the empire.
The people held their zemstvo and
especially the elected judge in very
high esteem, but the all-powerful bu-
reaucracy was from the first hostile
