Mrs. William Mckinley, who was
stricken by paralysis at her home in
Canton, o., last Friday, died at 1:O5
o'clock Sunday afternoon. The
transition from life to death was so
peaceful and gradual that it was
with difficulty that the vigilant ply
sic'ans and attendants noted when
dissolution came.
There was no struggle, no pain.
Mrs. Mckinley never knew of the eff
forts made for days to prolong her
life nor OF the solicto IS hope AGAINST

tiyes and friends, for Eor recovery.
Mrs. McKinley's last words were
for death. An attendant said
Mrs. Mckinley would say: Why
should l linger?' Please, God, It it
be thy will, why defer it?' She would
also say, He is gone and life is
tark to me now Other kindred
Ell ressions fell from her lips.
She was buried Wednesday.

The Hermosillo Base Ball As. sociation has shown commendable enterprise in arranging for sea. son of good ball playing in the So. nora capital, and owing to the energy and acumen of it's managers there is promised series of games which will take place in that city nearly every Sunday afternoon during a number of months. In spacious field at the north end of town there has been created a very handsome park, with grand stand, diamond, and all the paraphernalia of the game A good nine of fine ball tossers has been organized, and the managers have arranged to have visiting clubs from all points 10 try conclusions with the home nine. Some very close and inter- esting games have been played, and many more are anticipated Two Sundays ago the Douglas nine went to the Sonora capital, and in the contest that took place there was put up some of the best ball playing ever seen. When it was too dark to continue playing the game was called at the end of the eleventh inning with score of two and two. Very little better work than that has been seen anywhere ever. Last Sunday the Nogales nine visited Hermosillo, and played with the Hermosillo team; and a nine from La Colorado Is expected to play there tomorrow. Negotiations are pending with many other clubs to visit the Sonora capital and play with the local nine. The manage ment of the Hermosillo association pay all the expenses of the visit ing teams. Their efforts are re- warded with a liberal support from the base ball loving public, and the enterprise bids fair to prove a decided snccess.

critics in this vicinity, left Thurs day for his Kansas home, expecting to return to Alamos in about a month.
 Mir. Norman McLanann, recently in the employ of the C., Y. R. X P. By, who has been on prospecting trip for the past several weeks, re- turned Friday, having located a gold, silver-copper prospect near Cochebampo.
 Last night, Sunday, Nov. 24, the children of the Alamos public schools held public exercises at the municipal palace, before an audi ence of about 2,000 people. The children were we'll drilled in their parts and the entertainment was interesting. Many Americans were in the audience.
 Friday night MT. Frank Holmes, general manager of the Palmarejo Mining Company and the Oxnam Prospecting Company, accom- panied by MT. w. A. Schultz, superintendent of the freight de- partment for the same companies, came in from Chinipas, where the companies mill and headquarters are located. Saturday MT. Holmes left for Nogales, where he went to meet Mrs. Holmes, coming from England to join her husband. Mr. Schultz remained in Alamos to await the arrival here of Mr. and Mrs. Holmes.
 All this week the hills about Alamos have echoed to the sounds of great blasts that have shattered huge rocks and torn up small hills on the right-of- way of the railroad. People in Alamos, from house tops and from Quartet hill, have watched the work Ion the home stretch"-I watched the dust and shattered rock fly up from the blasts They smile expectantly at each other and repeat: "Ya rtene! Ya viene q terrocarriL" And scores every day visit the camp on the north side of the arroyo to more closely view the entrance of the progressive horde, whose camp was moved to Alamos early in the week and now occupies the ground upon which the railroad depot and other build ings will stand later. Yesterday Sunday, Nov. 24) the first work train pulled into Minas Nuevas, while the track-laying machine pushed on tow I'd Alamos When the train pulled in and stopped at the site of the Minas Nuevas station the engineer drew down the whistle string, tied it to one of the "cadorances" and forgot 1t for twenty minutes. The engineer at the Zambona mine turned the mine whistle loose to keep company and all the dogs in town parked in chorus. The people in Alamos listened to the uproar, as 1t rolled across the five miles of valley. All knew what it meant and each said to the other. "We are next" Last night Superintendent of Construc. tion R. R. George informed THE OASIS correspondent that he ex- pected to see rails laid into Alamos Thursday, Nov. 28, but would say Saturday, Nov. 30, would certainly see the work train roll into "la ciudad de los portales."

THAT "UNDRAWNv BILL.
DIR. Crumbine Explains Its Provisions
IS in Detail

Packing houses and cold storage con-
Germs are starting a fight in the legis-
lature on the 'tundrawn poultry" bill
on the assumption that it prevents the
storage or shipment of undrawn poul-
try.
This is not the case. 1t merely pro-
hibits the sale at retail in Kansas of
undrawn poultry, game and fish, and
provides that fresh meats shall be prop
erly protected from dust and Fies while
being transported from place to place.
DR.. Crumbine, who under the new
state. pure food law, becomes chief food
inspector of the state, said today in
speaking of the matter:
IT was not contempla ted to restrict
the cold storage of undrawn poultry
nor prevent the shipment of undrawn
poultry or game out of the state, but
the state board Of health claims the
right, and indeed it is their
of Kansas against unwholesome
and tainted food products. There
is just as good reason why beeves, sheep,
hogs. and calves should be kept for sale
with their entrails and other offensive
parts intact as that of the smaller ami
mails sold for food, and such suggestion
of course is unthinkable for moment
The moment that animal life is extinct
fermentation and decomposition begins
in the intestinal contents, and unless
the animal is frozen soon after 1T is
slaughtered there is danger of the alb
sOrptton of the gases Of fermentation
and decomposition by the tissues with

ter of the degree and intensity con-
trolled by time, temperature, etc.
NO rule ever made by the state
board of health as the one made al the
September. meeting prohibiting. the sale
atraST
fish in Kansas, has ever received such
wide and favorable comment as this
rule. 1t, has been copied in the press
from the. Atlantic to the Pacific AMI
from the Gulf to Montreal Even the
Youths Companion saw fit to give edi-
torial comment and recommended it as
the most righteous legislation that any
board could inaugurate. it4A
In these reform movements for the
betterment of food products and the
elimination of dangers to public health
in their consumption oftentimes the
commercial interests are necessarily in
a measure at least jeopardized, but
such interests are certainly not to be
weighed in the balances over against
human life and health. The contention
that undrawn poultry will keep for a
longer time than that drawn is disputed
by the federal government, who have
given their opinion in Bulletin No. IA
VI the OHlleu states department or
agriculture. They say that under the
same conditions of temperature and
humidity drawn fowls will keep from
twenty to thirty days longer than those
not drawn, and besides which the flesh
will be untainted with the favors of de-
composition and imprisoned by bacter-
ial ptomaines. If there has ever been
a righteous bill passed by the house of
this bill passed by them

The railroads are .expending every
dollar possible fer improveme They
need additional side tracks, and in
many sections double track. They also
need ballast, equipment, motive pow
er and additional block signal devices
for safety of trains. They likewise
need improved station facilities. all of
which require an untold amount of

cidedly unwise to cripple their efforts
to provide additional facilities for the
