Las Vegas. y. NJ, oct. 17.-While
Albuquerque is struggling with a coal
combine and paying $3.50 a ton, Las
Vegas, which has also had troubles OF
her own. has found the way out,
Within two weeks time in spite of
the combine. in spite of excessive
freight rates on the Santa Fe and in
spite of some other things, theMeadow
City is to have all the coal it wants
at the reasonable price of five collars
a ton. The properties OF the Bohe-
mian Mining company in Tres Her
mano canyon, have been leased by j.
x. McGinn, "A well known mining en-
gineer. A fine vein of coal has been
discovered there. Mr.. McGinn has
made arrangements to establish a
camp in the canyon and viii bring
the coal to Las Vegas as fast as he
can get IL out of the ground. The ac-
tual work Of mining will begin at
once. Twenty men will go to work
this week and the force will be in
creased as the demand increases. Mr..
McGinn claims he has enough coal
TO supply the demand in this whole
section of the territory. He claims
the coal is of much better grade than
the Ration article.

Chapelle and shipped in for - cents

pretty stiff rate but does not COM
pare with the present rate of $l.'o a

that when operations are well under
way he will be able to cut the price
to nearer 81.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

REGULAR troops have been sent to Goldfields to guard against dis turbance in the labor trouble now on hand there. The strikers lead CTS say there was no need of it. But the trouble in such cases al- ways is that no one knows whether there will be need of troops until the need has passed. In calling for them Governor Sparks has ap- piled the traditional "ounce of pre- vention." It is safe to say there will be no violence at Goldfelds. Regulars have an ugly way of shooting, when ordered to do so. And their officers have an ugly way of giving such orders in crit ical situations.

 On the subject of postal savings banks
 NIT Meyer said "The object of pos-
 tai savings bank will be to bring into
 the channels 0f commerce and trade the
 money that is today being hoarded by q large class Of our people in all parts of the country. The great majority of the immigrants who come here are ignorant of our language and are not familiar with our institutions, but have absolute con- fidence in the Government The moneys that they sent abroad last year amounted to about $75 000, ,000 in money orders alone. Besides these foreigners. there are many people who have not the facilities at hand for depositing their Savlngs-such people as are living in out oi-the-way places and in parts of the country where savings banks are not accessible. One-third of the savings banks in the country are located in New England, and that section also contains one-third of the total number of depos- itors in the country.
 "Now, in order to get this money into circulation after it is brought to the post office, l propose to place it with the na- tional banks in the districts where the money is eposited-that is, in those banks which are Government deposit ories. The rate of interest which I shall recommend will he 2 per cent, or per cent semi-annually, thus giving evidence that the Government does not desire or wish to compete in any way with the existing banks.
 Every national bank president with whom 1 have spoken has assured me of his readiness to allow on these special deposits in postal savings banks rate ot 212 and , per cent. Consequently, it is plain that in turning this money back Tn safe manner into commercial uses we shall be mutually benefiting labor and the industries throughout the land {"
 The meaning of the proposition as presented by the Post Master General is that the rural commun- ities will be given all the advantage of the parcels post without throw ing the local dealer open to a ruin- ous competition with the great department stores in the cities. Next to that of the express com panies the strongest opposition to the parcels post has come from the country storekeepers, who have feared its results very greatly. And the express companies have encour- aged and cultivated that fear. But under the proposition now pres ented the country storekeeper is protected amply, as shown in the fourth paragraph quoted. The should be adopted. Every citizens should urge it upon his congress man.

The Tucson Election.

Monday Tucson held it's regular annual municipal election, in evolu-
 tion of part of the local government,
 the candidates to be elected having been councilman at large, and one councilman in each of two wards. (The mayor and the other councilmen are elected on alternate years). One of the most amusing things in the whole performance was the way in which the republi- cans were buffaloed by the preten. sions of their democratic opponents, and the difficulty with which can didates were induced to run on the republican ticket. Most of the nominees put up by the convention withdrew, and their places were filled by the Central committee naming other candidates. The in- ference was that the candidates who withdrew did so because they couldn't face the music made on the liquor question by the demo- cratic platform, which stood for taxing the liquor business ont of existence by raising the license from $500 per annum to $500. The republican platform was silent on the subject, and the very silence was expressive. It meant that the republican party thought the license sufficiently high. w. F. Cooper accepted the republican nomination for councilman at large, and John M. Martin and E. F. Partridge were the candidates on the same ticket for councilmen in the first and second wards. Freely were predictions made that they were doomed to defeat. But when the votes were counted it was shown that Mir. Cooper was elected by majority of 300 in total of 1000, and that his coadjutors had fared nearly as we'll. Cooper came through by vote of two to one over his competitor. And the laugh is on the cold footed nomi- nees who withdrew from the ticket.
 Commenting on the election the Arizona Republican said signifi- cantly: Tucson can stand about so much reform and then it mani fests symptoms of nausea followed by upheaval."

yaQuI DELTA NOTES.

MT. z. o. Stocker, construction engineer of the Richardson Con- struction Company, is at Esperanza after his three months vacation Tn the East. Mrs. Stocker is visiting relatives in Alamos where she will soon be joined by Mir. Stocker for a short visit.
 Mir. A. H. Hall, master mechanic at La Colorado and Minas Prietas, is visiting Mir. Frank Lesher, ranch superintendent of the Richardson Construction Company at Esper- anza. Mr. Hall is becoming so attached to the Valley that it is generally hoped he will become permanent settler.
 Mir. Mark Perkins, headgate keeper of the Yaqui Canal at Los Hornos, will start tomorrow for the Sierra Madres to bring down his family. He will visit both La Dura and La Bufa before returning. Mir. Adolfo Encinas, the assistant gate keeper, will have charge of the gates during Mir. Perkins absence.
 There ale at present four visitors in the Valley who are making a thorough examination of the Rich ardson Construction Company lands, each one with his own pur- poses in view. Mir. Charles N. Edge, of Birmingham, England, has his keen eyes on the lands with a view to investment. Mir. Naotaro Kobayashi of Tokio, Japan, intends to select four thousand acres on which to settle the nucleus of a colony of his own people. MT. W m. H. Cannon of Ventura, Cali fornia, is looking for twenty thous- and acres of Lima Bean land which he believes will sell like the pro-. verbal "hot-cakes" among the bean and beet farmers of Ventura. Mr. J. H. Fairman of Los Angeles, California, Is "a man of few words" and we are not informed as to his reasons for visiting the Valley.
 MT. Davis Richardson, president of the Richardson Construction Company, has been visiting the lands and irrigation works of the in the Yaqui Valley and going over plans for new work for the coming season. He left on Sunday by carriage for Bacum and Torim in company with his mana ger, MT. Carl F. Adam and the latter's assistant, MT. Carlos C.. Moreno. At Torim they called upon General Lorenzo Torres whom they found in good health and spirits, his recent sojourn in Los Angeles having evidently been very beneficial. MT. Richardson left Torim on Monday for Guay- mas, Hermosillo and Los Angeles, at all of which places he had busi- ness matters to attend to. He will leave Los Angeles the latter part of this week for New York, whence he will soon sail again for London.

THE PARCELS POST.

In the report of the Post Master General, transmitted to Congress, at the opening of the present ses- sion, there Is strong recommends tion for adoption of the parcels post in the domestic mail service of the United States. In very limi. ted degree the American people have such a service now. At a postal rate of sixteen cents per pound parcels that weigh four pounds or less may be transmitted by mail to any part of the United States. But by virtue of postal treaties the people of the United States have a foreign parcels post service under which they may re- ceive from or send abroad parcels by mail, of eleven pounds weight, or less at d cost of but twelve cents per pound. Why our own people in their own domestic postal service should be placed at a disadvantage so great in dealing with the people of foreign lands, is one of the mys- teries of popular government.
 In a recent address before a con- vention of postmasters, Post Master General Meyer explained in detail the proposition as embodied in the report he has made since.
 The parcels post, he declared, existed to day, and all that he desired of Con- gress was authority to right an injustice to the American people, namely, of charging them Is cents pound on do- mestic parcels and only 12 cents on par cels sent to foreign countries He would advocate an increase in the limit of weight to eleven pounds, which was the maximum allowed on parcels post con- ventiOns.
 Mr Meyer went on to say that hereto fore the greatest opposition to the ex- tension of the parcels post system had come from the country retail merchant, because he felt it would work to his dis advantage. The Postmaster-General thought he had met that objection by the plan he would recommend for the establishment of PARCELS POST THAT WAS CONFINED SOLELY TO THE RURAL FREE DELIVERY SERVICE.
 For parcels to be sent by that service he would make the rate cents for the first pound and cents for each addi- tional pound, or 9 CENTS FOR A PACKAGE OF THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF ELEVEN POUNDS. That, he said, would enable the farmer and the patron along the rural route to order supplies by telephone or postal card when 1t was not feasible to drive to town for them, thereby increasing the consumption and in that way improving the trade of the country merchant. It would also reduce the cost of the rural service by increasing its revenues and augment the salaries of the postmasters at small offices where they are paid in proportion to the amount of stamps can ceied.
 On the other hand, the competition of the great department stores, which the country merchant most feared, would be

One Of the most affecting instances
of the great trial between the warning

testimony of George Breen regarding
the Dunnville massacre The episode
was one of the most disgracuful
that ever occurred in the great labor
war of the west, being a coldblooded
and deliberately planned slaughter of
unsuspecting and unarmed men by the
military forces.
George Breen was railroading on
the Florence and Cripple Creek road at
the time of the strike in the Cripple
Creek district and had charge of the
train that carried the soldiers 10
Dunnville. The evidence bearing on
this brutal murder was introduced to
show eonelusively that the purpose of
the mine owners was to drive the
Western Federation out of the district
