Not 2 Good Week for Snakes.

This week THE OASIS man has had small experience killing snakes, having despatched two within thirty-six hours. The first was Oh tho trail 10 Mowry, Wednesday morning, whilst the scribe was en route to that camp to attend the celebration, when he encountered large rattlesnake. The reptile was about five feet long and in bulk larger than the wrist of a man, and he fought as yicionsly as an amateur news paper man who thinks he is the real thing. He yiciously struck at every rock thrown at him. until a large one struck him fairly and squarely and finished him. Before passing along the editor piled upon his snakeship \ sufficient quantity of large rocks to insure his remaining there.
 The second snake adventure occurred after he had returned home Thursday evening. While the scribe was passing along Sonoita avenue, about nine o'clock, by the light of inc fnll moon he saw | small snake winding across the street in front of the Sisters hospital, going toward the resi- dence of Mir. John T. Brickwood Picking up . sharp edged rock he flung it at the reptile, striking it on the back about five inches back of the head and severing it in twain. It writhed in agony q few moments and expired. 1t was a banded or coral snake, about four- teen inches in length and in diameter as large as an extra sized lead pencil. It was marked with alternating bands, red, white and black in color, varying in length from quarter to three quarters Of an inch That variety is said to be very venomous, and 1t was a good thing, perhaps, that 1t was encountered in the street and despatched.

Abstract from letter written by President Roosevelt to Dr. NJ. i. Rodgers, Secretary of the Arizona Statehood Association:
 rHg Wn1rR HousE, Washington June 29, 1908. 1t is my earnest hope that the people of the Territory Of Arizona in their wisdom will decide to enter the Union Us part of the mreat State Of Arizona. No man can foretell what will happen in future; but it is my belief that ii the people of Arizona let this chance % by they will have to wait very many years before the chance again offers itself, and even then 1t will very probably be only upon the present terms-that is, upon the condi- ton of being joined with New Mexico If the people of Arizona come ill now they will achieve what every sell respecting American ought to wish to achieve; that is, the right of sef-gov- ernment. If they refuse what is proffered them-and what in my opin- ion Is preferred upon the only proper and permissible terms--thev condemn themselves to an indefinite continuance of condition of tutelage.

ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAIN.
Robbers After $50, 900 Package Would
 Commit Wholesale Murder.

Sunday evening about 7:30 o'clock an attempt was made to wreck the Torres d5 Prietas train at Puertecitas, on the road to La Colorado and 1t was only by the merest chance that the wrecKing oJ the train and perhaps the loss of many lives was ayerted.
 A railroad laborer, who stepped onto the front of the engine at one of the way stations, to ride from one station to another, saw a pile of rocks on the track and signalled the engineer to stop. The latter promptly threw on the brakes and reversed the engine, bringing the train to standstill just before the obstruction was reached.
 The rocks were heaped upon the track at a point where the derail. ment of the train would have pre- cipitated it into a deep arroyo,

 At the meeting of the supervisors of the various counties of the territory, held at Phoenix last week, 1t was decided to leave the vaIua- ton of cattle to the various county boards, with the stipulation that none should be valued at less than ten dollars. An agreement some- what similar was reached in re. gard to the taxation of railroad grant lands. II was decided that the valuations of such lands should be left to the county boards, but that in no county should they be valued at less than forty cents an acre. Such lands have heretofore been assessed at twenty cents an acre. In regard to patented mines il was agreed that the Graham county valuations should be considered IS a fair basis for the valuation of such property in other counties.

Such a garment is quite beyond the
means OF many women, but its outlines
may be copied IN silk veiled in chiffon
or gauze, and even in silk or cloth
suitably trimmed. Some charming
COR effects can also be introduced
in this style OF coat, and it could also
be effectively made up in black and
gold or yellow and gold. Other tints
also suggest themselves, such as blue
or green and silver.
