CORRAL, Sonora, Mexico, August 18th, ,1907.-Accompanied by Allen T. Bird Jr., (Tracy) THE OASIS editor departed from Guaymas yesterday on the train of the Cana nea, Yaqui River x Pacific railway, en route for the deltas of the Yaqui and Mayo rivers and the Alamos district of Sonora, to visit by rail regions he had travelled in the saddle in the months of December, 1904 and January, 1905. The present mode of travel is far more convenient, decidedly more com fortable, but it lacks the charm of the slower mode of progression; but in fieeting through the country by steam one fails to acquire the last ing impressions of scenery, places and persons that come with the slow approach and passing aboard the quarter deck of mule. Rid ing in the saddle each successive vista or panorama rests so long upon the eye that 1t leaves last ing impression, retained ever in the grateful memory; while from swiftly moving car scene upon scene, view upon view, crowd each other so rapidly in a speedily nov ing procession that the mind retains recollection of little. The new view of the instant crowds quickly from the memory the one which occupied the mind but a minute before; and in moment that too is obliterated by another, as the figures upon child's slate are washed away with wet sponge. When one travels there's vast difference in counting time by the monotonous hoof beats of pacing mule and the noisy rattle of swiftly rolling wheels crossing the joints of seventy-pound steel rails.
 Before starting everyone seemed disposed to commiseration on ac- count of the excessively hot weather we were sure to encounter. It IS early of course to brag; but, surely, neither yesterday nor last night was uncomfortable. Nearly all day there came from the gulf a cooling breeze that tempered the atmosphere and made the day delightful; while the night was just right for sleeping.
 Trains on the new railway run from Guaymas to Empalme over the line of the Sonora railway The latter is near the south end oi the bay of Guaymas, distant from the city about nine kilometres. It IS destined to be an important point, as the railway company has projected and is carrying out ex. tensive improvements of permanent nature that will be important factors in operation of the line when completed. A large stone roundhouse, with stalls for twenty two engines, is in course of con struction, and the plans provide for extensive shops, office building' and warehouses. One of the latter large concrete structure is nearly completed. A half dozen concrete cottages, for use of employees anc their families are also approaching completion. At present Empalm, IS place of tents, cars and shacks

 The train up the river started from Corral about 4 o'clock. As there are no facilities for turning at the terminus and the train had to return at evening, it backed up, giving one fine opportunity to view the scenery and track con- struction from the rear platform of the coach.
 Emerging from the delta of the Yaqui river above Corral the road follows up the valley which nar- rows gradually as distance is att tained. The scenery is picturesque, the river, now at the flood season winding among the hills of red porphyry, purple basalt, gray trachyte or spotted breccia. The narrow valley and the low hills on either side are covered with the same dense growth noted in the delta and on the plain eastward from Empalme.
 Twepty-seven kilometres from Corral is the town of Buena Vista. It is one of the old towns and, as it's name implies, commands a beautiful view both up and down the river. The town has a small church or chapel, and includes about two score houses.
 Fifteen kilometres above Buena Vista is the end of the track, but the grade is completed now about fifteen kilometres farther. The tracklaying machine is expected to
 be brought into requisition this
 week and the rails laid upon the grade now finished, which will enable trains to run within ten
 miles of Cumaripa, which place
 will be reached by the rails about
 the first of October.
 At the end of track we met Mir.
 Charles Gates of Nogales, who had come down from Cumaripa, near
 which point he had been in charge
 of grading camp. He had come for a new outfit to establish another
 camp above Cumaripa, between
 that point and Realito.
 Coming from Empalme there
 had been on the train an engineer , ing party that had been engaged on the survey between Nogales and } Cananea. They were en route up the river to work on the survey ) above Tonichi. Among them was ) young Richard Modie of Nogales. l Returning to Culnaripa at even- ing Mir. Reddoch found us good ) quarters with Tom Archer, former } ly of Tucson, who is known we'll at Nogales. Mir. Archer is in business l at Corral, running store and the } post office.
 , We found also MT. Pete Soto, : formerly with the Washington Trading Company, and also with l Wells, Fargo & Company, who is : now with the Grant Construction
 Company, contractors for building the road
 g Arising early this morning the scribe took a look about the new g town. To one with long years ex-
 perience in pioneer railway con S struction (upon the Union Pacific : from the time it crossed the Laup s Fork of the Platte river, upon the e Central Pacific, the Santa Fe, and s the Texas & Pacifc), there is fa- g miliar air about the place. Material : piled all around. Long sidings filled

lOlu Lul )dllllC lllC tOultlJ ID inv that in the Altar district: sandy plain, covered with a dense growth of cacti, mesquite, cat claw brush and chapparal. Scattered about the plain are isolated hills of syenite or porphyry, some with lava caps, remnants of lava flow which spread once over the whole region. Wherever water can be had the plain is very fertile pro- ducing anything with irrigation.
 At several points are the great buildings of a hacienda, great areas enclosed in substantial adobe walls, fanked by bastions with portholes for protection against Yaqui attacks, a bastion, easily entered from the inside, covering the entire front upon two sides.
 At most of the stations are watch towers-high, slender structures of timber standing about thilty feet in height, where under the protect ing shade of small roof stands all the day a watchman, scanning closely the brush all around, ready to sound an alarm should there appear anywhere in the vicinity the advent of a predatory band of Yaquis. And at all the stations are detachments of soldiers for pro- lection of the road and the work men.
 Over a part of the distance the railway skirts along the south end of the Bacatete mountains in which were long the principal and most inaccessible strongholds of the Ya- quis. After passing those noun tains the line reaches the head of the delta of the Yaqui river at Corral; crossing the head of which the railway makes this place, 109 kilometres from Empalme, and branches, the Guadalajara line crossing the river and continuing on toward the Mayo and Fuerte rivers in a southeasterly direction, and the line toward Tonichi and the international boundary con- tinuing up to the west side of the
 Yaqui river.
 The Cananea, Yaqui River X
 Pacific railway is being built in
 the best possible manner, and when completed will be one of the most thoroughly built and most com
 pletely equipped railways on the continent. The track is laid with
 heavy steel rails (73 pounds to the yard) upon sawed oak ties-the rails from Spain and Germany and the ties from Japan; it is wei. ballasted with rock or gravel; the
 culverts are all of concrete, the bridges of steel and the permanent buildings at stations and division
 points are being built of stone. The locomotive and train equipment is to be of the same first class stand ard. Two solid vestibuled passen ger trains have been ordered, anC will be here shortly and in com
 mission.
 Our train reached Corral abou 8 o'clock in the afternoon, and W, disembarked here to go to the enc of track on the road following tn,
 Yaqui river.
 3 At Corral we found Mir. Charle r Reddoch of Nogales, who is yard l, master for the railway, and run also the train that goes up tn 3 river line. During several year i, past Mir. Reddoch has been runnin 3 train on the Mexican Central rail

are unl5neu those VIII uISdppedi and it will be we'll constructed town of stone and concrete.
 From Empaime a line of rail- way will be constructed down the peninsula on the west side of the bay of Guaymas, distance of five or six kilometres, to an island near the entrance to the harbor, which isle is being graded down to but few feet above water level at high tide; and there with deep water alongside the largest vessels afoat may tie up to the wharves and un- load their cargoes into cars. And they can remain there all the time necessary to discharge. There will be no necessity for casting loose when the tide ebbs, to go out into the deep waters of the gulf until the flood tide comes again.
 The foregoing sentence describes one of the great advantages of Guaymas over ports upon the west coast of Mexico, Acapulco alone excepted-deep water close inshore. Even now there is great steam ship tied alongside the wharf of the Sonora railway, discharging rails for the Cananea, Yaqui River & Pacific railway. It brought a cargo of 5000 tons of steel rails from the Krupp steel mills in Ger many. touching at Mazatlan to dis charge there a part of the rails for use in construction of the lines of the same railway out of that port. At Guaymas the steamer tied up to the wharf and the rails are lifted out from the hold and laden upon cars alongside. As soon as one train is loaded it is replaced by another, and the work continues night and day until all is done. On the contrary, at Mazatlan when the tide went out the steamer could not remain in the harbor. The receding waters would let her down upon the bed of the bay, and she might careen, to great damage to ship and cargo So she went into the harbor on the flood tide, cast anchor long distance from shore, and the rails were loaded upon lighters, to be taken to land. With the ebbing of the tide the anchor was hoisted and the steamer put to sea to cruise about until the tide was at flood again.
 At Empalme we met number of Nogales people. Among them was Mir. Herbert J. Wood, who had been there couple of weeks He is expecting to leave shortly to go to the state of Sinaloa on a prospecting tour. During the past year Mir. Wood has been out in the Altar district, whence he came about month ago.
 l Another Nogales man at Elm palme is Mir. E. L. Macmackin formerly with the Washington Trading Company, who is now with the Western Commercial Company.
 Mir. M. L. Poole, formerly al Hermosillo, long resident O
 Yuma, where he was in business is also with the Western Commer cial Company at Empalme.
 From Empalme the line of the railway makes southeasterly ovel , the greater part of the distance and then turns due East, unti Corral is reached. Corral is in th' vicinity of the old town of Cocorit which is across the river, and more
