Heavy Cattle Shipment

w. M. Neel, of the Neel and Fly sham company, owning the Four Bar ranch and cattle ranges in the Sulhpur Springs valley, Ed. Moore and other catle owners of this valley have contracted the sale of six thousand head of cattle which are to be shipped to Colorado and the northwestern states from Will cox. This shipment will include 1700 heifers purchased by Neel and Hysham from the Greene Cattle company.
 MT. Neel was in the city yester- day and met Frank Moson, man. ager of the Greene company in con ference concerning the approach ing shipments.
 Some of these cattle have already been shipped and the remainder will go forward as fast as the re- quired cars can be secured at Will cox. Already there has been delay in the furnishing of cars and 1t is not know just when they will be received. The delay has caused much expense to the cattle owners. After the roundup had been com pleted the cattle for shipment were held in pastures until the grass within the enclosures was all ex- hausted and now the herds are be- ing held on the range.
 The original intention was to load all these cattle at Douglas, but as they go east and north over the Santa Fe railroad 1t was found shat the Santa Fe would not allow their cars to leave it's own road This forced the cattle owners to arrange with the Southern Pacific for taking the cattle from Wilcox.
 It is believed that this shipment will be the largest made from the territory this year and 1t illustrates the importance of the cattle in dustry in this section of Arizona.- Douglas Dispatch.

The Imuris Route.

Monday morning MT. K. A. Me- Farland. chief engineer of the Ca nanea, Rio Yaqui X Pacific rail- way, was at Nogales, en route to Tucson, and the gentleman infor- med a representative of THE OASIS that he had just returned from a trip of inspection through the box canyon on the Cocospera route be- tween Imuris and Cananea, with regard to which efforts are being made to induce the Mexican govern ment to permit change in the con cession, so the line may be con- structed to Nogales instead of Imu- ris. Mir. Mcfarland stated that the canyon examined presents one of the most difficult pieces of en- gineering anywhere in the South west; that line constructed there would be far more difficult in con- struction. more costly in operation, and much more expensive in maintenance than the route to No gales, and, moreover 1t would be longer. Mir. Mcfarland stated that Vice President Corral is to inspect the two routes very shortly, and that upon his report the whole question will turn. If Don Ramon recommends the change in the con cession to permit construction to Nogales, the line will be built to this place. If he reports for the Imuris route, there will be no ] change.

 United States Senator Lyman Trumbull in the middle of a great oration) Bannon's family had hard time to get along, and his
 wife had to eke out the family larder by taking in washing. In his presentation of Jeff Briscoe,"
 Mir. Kelsey delineated the "lazy
 Bannon" of nearly a half century ago, just as that worthy looked
 and acted then.
 As "U ncle Eek Millbury, an old
 settler" Mir. H. w. Williams pre-
 sented another familiar figure,
 readily recalled by those with
 knowledge of life in the Middle
 West during the days when politics
 was the principal object of public
 attention. Mir. Williams make up
 of the old timer whose failing
 memory was recalling continually hay recollections of the great
 men of a former generation, was
 true to life, and the rendition of
 the part was given by Mir. Williams
 charm peculiarly its own.
 Mr. Bert Bristol presented con
 scientions portrayal of the part of
 "1'ilford Wilson," the unwilling
 candidate, who won against his will.
 "In "Sassafras Livingstone, the

 performance of odd jobs, con-
 demned always to work, and never
 willing to do 50. In blackface Mir. Munch is inimitable, and his rem ditions are we'll conceived always
 and faithfully executed
 Mr. +. l.. Crowell, as "Elias Rigby, opposition candidate for , states attorney" gave careful and faithful rendition of a difficult part. and shared the honors with the leading character. Mr J. F. Brady, as Joe Whitaker, the Windmill Agent" made a hit, as , did also Eddie Mix as Jupiter Pettaway, Manager of the Martial Band" Ed. Sharp and Tracy Bird < as the rival newspaper editors did | we'll, as did also Mr. R. NJ. Parson: 5 as the village storekeeper, and H : R. Renshaw as the telegraph : operator.
 Mir. k. l.. Bonnot as "Chub Tol liver, the Smart Boy" was simply g immense. He got out of his par : "a bushel of fun," and held th' : center of the stage from the time f he came on until he left it.

 Mrs. Clagett as the mother of the heroine gave finished rendition of one of the most charming parts of the play; and Maud Cook, as the daughter, filled difficult role most admirably.
 Little Ray Mix as "Tilly,"th lead- ing child's part, was very good also.
 The play is one of George Ade's best productions, and is true delineation of life in the Missis- sippi valley at any time during the last half of the last century tex cept, perhaps the few years of the great war, and even then the same characters were conspicuous every where, but in different way). It was we'll mounted and rendered effectively. Those participating are to be congratulated upon their successful rendition, and further congratulations are due the finan- cial success attendant upon their efforts.
 The between act specialties in- troduced at the performance Tues day evening were also very attractive, and were received by the audience with the most hearty commendation and most enthusi- astic applause. The first was a song in Spanish, Chin, Chun, Chan" effectively rendered by Mir. David Martinez, gentleman with a fine baritone voice. Professor Baldenegro's orchestra supplied the accompaniment, and the perform ance by both singer and orchestra was received with the most enthu- siastic applause. In response to insistent calls the number was re- peated twice. That was between the first and second acts.
 Between the second and third acts Miss Rosa Burruel and Mir David Martinez danced the popular La Jota," one of the most charm, ing of the Mexican saltatory specialties. That was wildly ap. plauded and an enthusiastic de. mand rendered for its repetition which was given.
 Between the third and fourtl acts Mir. E. l.. Bonnot in appro prate costume, sang a characte song, entitled "A Poor, Unhapp, Maid" His make up was simply immense, and the song wa splendidly executed. It was tn great hit of an evening filled witt hits, and the singer was called ou again and again.
