HERO SAVES
TOWN

DOUGLASS, Ariz., Nov. 9.-The
death list of the explosion of Thurs
day at Nacozari has now been
swelled to IA or Is, all Mexicans,
besides John Chisholm, who was
riding on the train at the time of
the explosion. A train on the road
to the Pilares mine, containing two
cars of explosives. in some way
caught fire. The Mexican engineer,
Jesus Garcia, realizing that the
only way to save the town was to
get as far away from it as possible
before it exploded, bravely stuck
to his post and started to run his
train away from the town after
calling to the rest of the crew to
jump. He had gotten about one
half mile from the town when the
explosion occurred and he was
blown to atoms. To his heroism
alone is due the fact that the town
was not destroyed, in which case
the loss of life would have been
terrible. That the death list is as
large as it is is due to the fact
that the train happened to be pass
ing a section house when the ex-
plosion occurred.

ONLY CASH GOES

WALLA WALLA, Nov. O.
County Auditor McCaw received in
structions this morning from the
state land Office at Olympia to the
effect that all remittances to that
Office from this city must be sent
in cash or by postal order. These
instructions were in further refer
ence to a general order issued re-
Gently that nothing but cash re-
mitted by express would be re.
ceived.
This order may not effect Walla
Walla to any great extent, as il
may be that we will have no occa
sion to remit money to the depart
ment until the money conditions in
the East are settled. There are
many holders of land in this county
who purchased the school lands on
yearly contracts, and it is possible
that some of the holders will desire
to remit their yearly payments at
any time" said Deputy J. Carter
Smith.

Will you veto the railroad commission
bill when it is referred to you? | might
change my mind. The State has inter
ests to protect which will be protected
by me as long as | have the
power. The State can not afford
at this time to ignore the
railroads, their rights and the tariffs
necessary for life during the develop
ment of Nevada.
81 understand how people feel tc-
wards the railroads during these days
of prosperity. They want the rates cut
down and the passenger fares lowered.
But when that is done the incentive
for building into this State will be at
an end. Railroads have to depend upon
good profits when they are young.
They need quick returns to pay for the
enormous expenditures.
"Now to regulate the railroads,
would hurt parts of the undeveloped
Nevada. To do it with railroad COM
mission would be poor way. The
railroads might soon own the commits
sion. They have done it in other States.
Governor Fardee has stated that the
California railroad commission is a
miserable failure. | have been told
that the Nevada legislature at one time
was owned by the Southern Pacific.
This must not happen again. The in
terests of the state make imperative a
fearless course CT action on the part OF
the legislators.
