(hafd and fedJ are all fine mater. ial for furniture The IIeco Is also good construction timber The Manuto, which grows large and straight and is hard, strong wood, and the Mora (mulberfy), which grows two and three feet thick, are two that may be put to diversified uses. The Momoha, because of it's strength, makes excellent mining timber and because of it's beautiful coloring is a most valuable cabinet wood. It dresses in wine colors, dark and white, and has an ap- pearance not unlike a marble cake. Mir. Avery has quadruple samples and this week shipped many of them to Chicago, St. Louis and to his former home, at Galena, Ill.

NATIVE WOODS.
An interesting Article Thereon from the Alamos Correspondent of "The Oasls.'


 and printed concerning the mineral and agricultural richness ofSonora and Slnaloa, little attention has been given to another great source of wealth that will some time in the future be developed. Through Mir. George w. Avery, managing director of El Limon Mining Com pany, THE OASIS correspondent has obtained information of scores of different kinds of wood growing in southern Sonora and northern Si- naloa, suitable for the manufacture of high grade and fancy furniture, cabinets, musical instruments, as we'll as timber suitable for mine work and construction work of all kinds. Mir. Avery has worked for about a year collecting samples of the different kinds of wood found in the section where the two states Cor rather the three states, includ- ing Chihuahua) join. He has about one hundred samples, with surfaces filed and sand-papered, showing how the wood will dress, in their natural colors. Most of the samples were gathered on the Sinaloa side of the line, but many of the samples are of wood that grows in the vicinity of Alamos as we'll as farther south. Besides gathering the samples Mir. Avery has studied the different kinds of wood, gathering data from people who have lived all their lives in the section from which the different samples were gathered and also from the encyclopedias. To de- scribe even in general way each of the different samples would fill all twelve pages of THE OASIS, but few of them, of exceptional utility and beauty, may be mentioned. The green Amapa, yellow Amapa and white Amapa are trees that grow quite tall and large. When dry the wood is of steel-like hard ness, and is exceptionally durable for mining timber and construction work. It is easily polished, when used for furniture, and the green, dipped in a solution of lime and water, vii turn to bright ma genta. The Teso, remarkably tough wood, polishes to beautiful dark red and brown, and is excel lent furniture material. The All godoncillo (little cotton), is also a very durable wood and polishes easily. The trees only acquire a diameter of six to eight inches, but grow quite tall and straight. The Indians use it frequently in mak- ing violin bows and small instru- ments, as it splits very straight. The Brazil is a valuable dye wood, but is of little use for manufacture ing purposes, because of the IT, regularity of it's trunk. The Brea, a pitchy wood, contains substance that is used to make cloth water proof. The substance Is also used in the manufacture of pyrotechnlcs. The Copalquin is an excellent wood for fancy furniture and cabinets. The bark also contains quinine and is used, with mescal, as a remedy for fever. The Guayacan, said to be the hardest wood known in Mexico, also contains medicinal properties. The wood is excellent for mallets and tools of all kinds The Gongora (Indian name) yields fruit from which ink and paint

FIGHTS CAR DISTRIBUTION.
Massillon Company Says Railroad
Commission Acted Illegally.

CINCINNATI, Ohio January 31-That
the recent order of the Ohio railroad COM
mission regarding the equal distribution of
all freight cars, whether the property Of
railroads or not, is illegal and unconstl-
tutional is the contention of the Massil-
lon Coal Mining Company in a suit filed
in the United States court here yesterday.
The Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad is
party to the suit because its lines and
cars are those to which the order was
directed in SO far as it affected the Mas
sillon Coal Mining Company
The bill sets forth that the railroad COM
mission made ruling recently that all
railroad companies in Ohio must in the
future distribute among all coal shippers
along its route not only the cars owned
by the railroad company Itself, but the
cars of other railroad companies which
have been sent over its road for supplies
of coal and the cars owned by and In
tended for the exclusive use of private
coal mining companies. The bill sets up
the allegation that the railroad commits
sion's ruling will interfere with interstate
commerce and that the commission has
not power to make any ruling affecting
interstate commerce. Judge Thompson
granted the temporary Injunction and will
hear the case February %.

BRIDGE FALLS ON TRAIN.
Supports Knocked From It by Bright
on Beach Cars Running in a Cut.

NEW YORK. January 31.-The last car
of a Brighton Beach elevated railroad
train running on the ground toward
Coney Island. split on a switch near New
kirk avenue last night and ripped things
UP so that no cars could be run from Ave-
nue. to Newkirk avenue for a long time.
To avoid a grade crossing, the tracks are
being depressed from Newkirk avenue
north to Church avenue and there Is only
a single track at that place, with a switch
for cars to wait on until the road is clear.
A four car train from New York came
down a little after u o'clock, while train
bound in was whiting on the switch. The
forward trucks of the last car OF the New
York train cleared the switch, but the rear
trucks caught the other rails and ran that
way The pull tore the rear car from the
New York train and the rear trucks of the
third car came away as well. The trucks
that caused all the trouble tipped along
toward the first ear of the waiting train
and bumped that. Little damage was done
there.
The fourth car which was turned side
ways swept through the cut and brought
I'D against the supports of a temporary
wooden bridge connecting NeWkirk avenue
The bridge came down with "A crash.
No one was hurt by the accident, three
persons in the that was derailed out
of about twenty in it being shaken up
They went to their homes without giving
their names.
AS a result of the breaking Of the bridge
and the debris on the track trains were
shuttled between Fulton street and Avenue
c on one side and Newkirk avenue and
Coney Island on the other.
