weather bureau reported that the mercury
had dropped to 10 above zero, point 4
degrees lower than any yet reached since
freezing weather set In.
However. later in the day. the mercury
climbed slowly upwards until at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon ii stood at 50, several de-
grees above the freezing mark. AT Z o'clock
last night 1t had dropped to Is above. The
United States weather bureau forecasts for
to-day rising temperature with probably
rain snow.
The extreme cold weather is by no means
general but Is limited almost altogether to
the lake regions and Minnesota In the
East and the Southwest there is rising
temperature.

SONORA FAxoRs BORDER TOWN
 WITH. APPROPRIATION.
Governor Yzahai Announces That a
 Large Sum Has Been Set Aside for
 Buildings-Plans Now Under Way.
Especial to Review.)

Special to Review)
 Douglas, July 17.-News reaches here that the little pueblo of Agua Prieta, across the line from Douglas, is to be favored by a substantial ap- propriation from the state of Sonora. Governor Ysabal has announced that the sum of 5O,O00 dobies has been set aside for the improvement of that town, and that there will be built there in the near future several municipal and state buildings
 The contracts are already iu the hands of Manager Mcdonald, of the J. H. Jack Lumber company, of Douglas, and he is now working on the plans. The buildings to be erected include a court house, jail, hospital and custom house. The latter building is neces- sary because of the recent destruction of the old building by fire.
 The importance of Agua Prieta as a port of entry and export to the Mex ican government has grown apace with the growth of it's sister across the line, Douglas, and the employment of hun
 
 smeiters on the American side will in- crease the population of Augua Prieta perceptibly.
 The investment of American capital there is bound to have it's effect, and has already done much to encourage building and increase commercial ac- tiviy on the Mexican side of the line. Only recently a concern, made up mostly of American capitalists, erect ed one of the finest bull rings and amusement houses to be found any where in the republic of Mexico. Railroad building in Sonora, with Agua Prieta as the boundary junction has made its influence felt in the las: mybve on the part of the Mexican ar thorities. This reciprocative act now reported will do much to increase the already friendly relations between the merchants of the two places, as il shows that the Mexicans intend tc assist in the building of border city which has long been the desire oi many Americans in this section.
