Postal Regulations Which Will Apply to
Arizona Offices.

A radical change in the manner of
handling the incoming foreign mail
has lately been inaugurated in all the
border postoffices of the United
States. Under the new ruling mail
from foreign countries is placed in
charge of the customs authorities as
soon as it crosses the border instead
of remaining in charge of the postal
authorities and only such part of it
as the postal authorities deemed con-
tanned dutiable matter, turned over
to the customs officers, as OF old.
The above refers to unsealed pack
ages, that is, such ds the customs
authorities can examine without de-
stroying the goods contained in the
package. In case the letter or pack
age supposed to contain dut1able
goods is sealed so that it's contents
cannot be determined, it is labeled
supposed to be liable to customs
duty" and forwarded to the postoffice
to which it is addressed, where the
postmaster must notify the addressee
on a printed form.
Upon calling for the package sup
posed to contain dutiable goods, the
must open it in the pres
ence of the postmaster, and if the
goods are found dutiable, or there is
doubt in the mind of the postmaster
as to whether they are dutiable or
not, the article must be forwarded to
the nearest customs agent to be APP
praised.

Col. Joe HampsOn's Partner Succumbs
to Pneumonia.

The Jalisco Times has the following
account of the death of D. B. Smith,
Junior member of the contracting
firm of Hampson & Smith, who died
of pneumonia in the city of Colima.
Few knew of Mr.. Smiths illness, and
his death was decided shock to his
many friends in Guadalajara and the
City of Mexico
Mr.. Smith contracted pneumonia
as the result of excessive work and
exposure in experimenting the con-
struction of the Manzanillo extern
sion of the Mexican Central railway.
He was taken sick on March 5. His
condition WIS favorable to recovery
up to March IA, when a sudden
change for the worse occurred. DIR.
A. w. Parsons, of Mexico City, and
a trained nurse were sent for.
Mrs. Smith and little daughters
were with Mr.. Smith at the time of
his death. Mrs. N. H. Emmons, of
Globe, Arizona, a daughter of Mrs.
Smith by former marriage, was at
the sanitarium here at the time. A
son is in school in the United States.
The interment was made in Colima.
1t is expected to eventually remove
the remains to the United States.
Mr. Smith was native of Potts
vile, Pa, and was forty-seven years
of age. He was identified with rail-
road construction work in the United
States for time and came to Mexico
in the early days of railroad building
here. He was at first foreman for
the J. H. Hampson concern, but at
the end of a few years became Mr..
Hampson's partner. He was known
as one of the most competent and
southwest. The firm has had some
of the most important contracts in
the republic, and all the work was
done under the personal supervision
of Mr.. Smith. During the last
twenty months he spent the greater
part of the time along the route OF
the Manzanillo extension of the
Mexican Central railway, superln.
tending the construction of that i'm
portant Pacific outlet.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith made their
home in Guadalajara several years
ago. They went from here to Mexico
City to reside. When the American
Banking company of Guadalajara
was organized last year Mr.. Smith
was elected president. He owned
considerable property in the United
States and was the principal owner
of the rich Conejo Blanco mine in
the state of OaXaca.
Mr.. Hampson,. his partner, is the
owner of the Double Circle ranch in
this section.

Foraker Will be Candidate.

That Senator Foraker does not
concede that Secretary Taft will be
Ohio's choice for the presidential
nomination in 1908 is made plain by a
statement issued by the senator last
week. Foraker says, that he "does
not want any politial honors from
the people of Ohio without their
hearty approval," and he suggests
that the proper way to determine
who is the choice of the people is to
head the republican national ticket
and to represent the state in the
United States senate is for the repub-
lican state executive committee to
authorize a primary election to
choose delegates to a state conven-
tion which will be called upon to de-
termine these questions.
The announcement of State Super
intendent of Insurance Arthur l.
Voris that he will support Taft for
the presidential nomination caused
Foraker, it is believed, to issue the
statement outlining his position.
The senator declared that he is will
ing to go before the people on his
record and he has nothing to con-
ceal from his constituents"
Mr.. Foraker did not say that he
will be candidate to succeed Roose-
welt, but it is generally understood
among his friends in Washington
that at later date he will formally
announce his candidacy, for if a pri-
mary election is called in Ohio, he
will enter the fight to secure an in
dorsement of the state.

GREENE ROAD OVER
SIERRA MADRE.
Will Open up a Rich Mining District and
Will Eventually Meet c. Y.R. &P.

News of the organization to extend
the Rio Grande, Sierra Madre & Pa
cifc railroad across the Sierra Madre
mountains from the state of Chi
huahua into the state of Sonora,
which has been formed in the United
States, has been received in Mexico
City, says the Mexican Herald. The
new company is formed by Col. w.
G. Greene, principal owner of the
Rio Grande, Sierra Madre & Pacific,
and associates, and has the title of
the Sierra Madre & Pacific Railroad
company. 1t is capitalized at 6,OOO,-
900 gold.
According to the report in circula-
tion now the Rio Grande, Sierra
Madre & Pacific will be extended
from Casas Grandes across the noun
tains by way of Santo Tomas to La
Dura, Sonora, where connection will
be made with the Cananea, Yaqui
River & Pacific. That such an ex-
tension would result from the pur-
chase of the road by Colonel Greene
in 1904 has been the general belief.
The principal difficulty has been the
finding of a direct and not too ex-
pensive route across the mountains.
and this has evidently been found.
The extension of the road will be
about 400 miles in length, and it is
reported the survey for the entire
distance has been completed, and the
letting of contracts for construction
is expected soon. The Rio Grande,
Sierra Madre & Pacific was projected
by the late Scion Humphreys, a
former president of the Wabash, and
the intention then was to ultimately
build the road across the mountains
to one of the Pacific port cities.
Casas Grandes it was found that a
feasible route through the mountains
was hard to find and apparently the
plan of extending the road to Sonora
was given up. Since then the road
has lain dormant until purchased by
Colonel Greene and associates in 1904
at the reported price of $4,000
gold. The purchase of the road by
Colonel Greene indicated that it was
to be extended to connect and afford
better transportation facilities from
the Greene mines and timber lands
in Chihuahua and Sonora, and this is
evidently the Intention of the owner
in projecting the road through the
mountains. Since the purchase by
Colonel Greene the construction of
an extension to Temosachic to open
up valuable mineral and timber
tracts and connect with the Chi
huahua & Pacific has commenced and
is rapidly nearing completion. Re-
Gently it was reported that a large
bond issue was contemplated to pro-
vide for other extensions and branch
es. With the completion of the ex-
tension to La Dura and connection
with the Cananea, Yaqui River & Pa
cific, Col. Greene will have an outlet
through to Guaymas as we'll as con-
nection with the Mexican Central at
chihuahua through the medium of
the Chihuahua & Pacific when the
Temosachic extension is completed,
and direct line to Ell Paso by way
of the present Rio Grande, Sierra
Madre & Pacific road. The new road
will connect his holdings in Chi
huahua and Sonora and will open up
a rich country.

LARGE Gain

The totals for September to Septem-
ber 80, inclusive, 1906 were 633 for per-
mits and 81, ,O2O.774 for valuation.
Comparing the two sets of totals we
find that September, 1907, shows a gain
of 104 permits and Va valuation of SOC, ,127
over the corresponding month of 1906.
When we remember that the total valu-
alton in the table above is considerably
over 81. 900, 900 and that August also passed
the million dollar mark, we believe that
Los Angeles has good reason for con-
graduation.
The entire country seems to be acquir-
ing some of the confidence which Los
Angeles has never lost. The continuous
liouidation during the summer months
has produced beneficial results. Financial
centers are exhibiting less anxiety. Spec
ulation has become more conspicuous by
lis absence. Creait is being restored to
soundep basis. Low prices have ex-
nerienced some recovery. Realty values
show a tendency to advance again. The
railroads in nearly every instance tes-
tify to a larger volume of business.
But what will be of inestimable value
to all interests large and small, will be
the restoration of confidence in the man
agement of corporate enterprises. There
10 no escape from the fact that belief in
the honesty of those in high places in the
business world has undergone severe
strain at home and abroad, but the unre-
Ienting exposure and the consequent pun
jshment which has been meted out to the
guilty will go a long way toward the
re-establishment of faith In the intentions
and actions of those invested with great
power.

further investigation.
A very important point about the OBJ
struction of streets by the laying OF large
mains was brought up One member re-
ported that some of the streets were i'm
passable on account of bitches and piled
up earth and that in consequence prop
erty owners in some cases had been noti-
fled that insurance companies would not
be responsible for loss by fire. 1t was
suggested that the companies could not
escape liability unless they Cancelled the
policy, and so notified the policy holder.
Their recourse in the nature of the case
would be against the city for permitting
such obstruction.
A petition to secure the Opening of
Hoover street through to West Jefferson
