NoCALEs NOTES.

Mir. H. B. Sinclair, of the Phoe- nix stationery and printing house of H. H. McNeil & Co.,, was at No
 gales yesterday.
 Professor F. J. H. Merrill, the well known geologist and mining engineer, came up from Llano Wednesday evening, and is visit. ing at Nogales.
 On but eight acres of Arizona soil, L. R. White, the sweet potato king of St. David, raised one thou sand sacks of potatoes last season, placing eight hundred of them on the market.
 Monday of this week Miss Delfna Rochin of the firm of Rochin x Mendez, of Nogales, So- nora, returned home from an ex- tended tour of Mexico. Miss Rochin was absent about three months and visited the City of Mexico and many other places of interest.
 THE OASIS is in receipt of letter from Doctors Wylie and Redewill, of Phoenix, the medical attendants of Doctor Ray Ferguson, who write that they have word of the safe ar rival of Doctor Ferguson at Kansas City, and that the experts there who have examined his injuries re- port that he will recover without any farther operation. This in telligence will be very cheering to Doctor Ferguson's many friends.
 Mir. Alejandro Joffroy has opened in Nogales, Sonora, a cus- tom house brokerage office, and will devote close attention to the interests of large number of clients in Sonora, who have ar- ranged for him to handle their business. MT. Joffroy has lived in Nogales since childhood, and is we'll l and widely known in Sonora. He has been engaged in brokerage many years, and understands the business thoroughly. During two | or three years past he has been at Naco, in the same business.
 Rochin x Mendez of La Indus tria Mexicana," the leading curio store, of Nogales, Sonora, have just received the largest and finest stock of curios, post cards, zarapes and drawn work ever exhibited in the line cities The greater part of the stock, which was selected personally and with much care by Miss Rochin during her recent tour of Mexico, is intended especially for the holiday season and will be disposed of at lhe very lowest prices. Special low prices will prevail also on all other goods dur ing the holidays.
 About noon Tuesday the office of Doctor A. F. Noon was entered by hobo named James Thompson alias James Osborne, who carried away good overcoat, which he conveyed across the line and pawned for four pesos. Retur- ming 10 the American side the thief proceeded to get drunk on the proceeds, and was captured. He was lodged in jail, and Wednesday morning was examined before Justice Gildea, who committed him to appear before the grand jury to

You go to the workhouse for ninety

FREIGHT CUT ENJOINED
Minnesota Court Holds Up
Commodity Rates-No
Passenger Change.

st. Paul, Mimi. Sept. 20-Judge Will
lam Lochren of the United States Cir
cut court this afternoon, in lengthy
opinion delivered from the bench,
granted the request of the complain
ing stockholders of the railroads oper-
ating in Minnesota that a temporary
Injunction issue against the commodity
rates enacted by the last state legtsla-
ture. The court, however, made pre-
liminary rulings with the attorneys for
the state in three other points as fol-
lows:
First-That the exercise of rate max
ing power by the state does not inter
fere with interstate commerce.
Second-The merchandise rates or
dered by the state railroad commission
Sept. /, 1906. shall remain in force.
Third-The cent passenger rate en-
acted by the last legislature IS not con-
fscatory and shall remain in effect.
The injunction only affects those
rates which were to have taken effect
or June I last, but which did not be-

court. master to take testimony will
be appointed later
The court said that the railroad com
MISSIONS order of Sept 1, 1906, must
be considered as to whether it has the
effect of being given the legislative
acts relative to commodity rates and
the cent passenger fare. In this pre-
liminary hearing it has been impossi
bic for the court to go into the minute
detail of the financial and statistical
showings of the various railroads.
The railroads. in their showing" he
said, offer no charge for depreciation
of property. There can properly be
made a reasonable estimate of the per
cent. of loss in railroad property each
year by depreciation. 1t would be a
short sighted policy to reduce the com
pensation of the railroads to a degree
where they could not perform their
duties fully and fairly for the benefit
of the people"
