Board Of Trad 2.

The regular weekly meeting of the Board of Trade was held at the board rooms on Tuesday evening. One matter which came before the board was the endorsement of d plan to persuade the government at Washington to change the name of the new national forest into which 1t is proposed to throw all the forests now in this region, from "Huachuca," !" the name the govern ment proposed to bestow upon the new forest, and replace that name with the name "Nogales National Forest" The board of directors approved the plan unanimously, and a resolution was passed re- questing the government to bestow this name upon the proposed For est.
 A letter was received from the Director of the Geological Survey with reference to guaglng the San "a Cruz river. Owing to the short. ness of funds the Board of Trade has found 1t necessary to discon- tinue the payments which it has carried for one year in order to in. sure. the guaging of the river. The

Important Notice tO the Public.

This company, which owns the Ryall and Mix mining concessions on the Yaqui river, has begun an active campaign of exploration and development of it's property. The program of the work contemplated includes in it's scope both the pros pecting of the territory covered by the concessions by parties employed by the company and the granting of permits, on a reasonable basis of royalty, to outsiders who may desire to carry on such exploration work and locate property within the territory controlled.
 The territory covered by the con- cession includes everything between the Yaqui and Tecoripa rivers, and between the town of Cumuripa and line drawn east and west from the Mojonera del Guamuchil above San Antonio de la Huerta, and the Ojo de Agua above the town of Tecoripa on the Tecoripa river The territory is located in the dis tricts of Ures, Hermosillo and Guaymas.
 The administration office of the company will be Fnndicion. All communications, for the present, may be addressed to the company's secretary, w. P. Tucker.
 In view of the many communi- cations which the company has received from various persons rela- tive to Announcements which they have desired to make within the concessions, it has been decided to give to all those who have ex-

It is to be hoped that this will be done, as the ulti- mate success of the county in se- curing an irrigation system under the government depends absolutely upon the showing from such guag- ing of the waters.

There is mighty DRAMA with the whole world
stage, in Chna's struggle against civilized commercial
greed to rid herself of the curse of opium.
1t has been long and tenacious struggle and noble
in which the 'heathen' nation puts the ''cvized'
world to shame.
Opium is deadly to the Chinaman. It has for ages
incapactated many of the higher officials of the kingdom
and has turned the live Of uncounted millions of it's peo
pie into miserable existence. This, than any
other cause-perhaps than all other COM
bined-has kept China in the of progress.
The Chnaman knows it, and has the manhood to want
to free himself.
Nearly two years ago the empress dowager of China
issued edct against the cultivation and of opium
the empire and provided for it's complete determination
within 10 years. Many governments including the United
States and Great Britain agreed to help enforce the edct
1t seemed that the day of deliverance had come.
But Great Britain has broken faith in the matter as
she has done many times before The Indian government
which receives of than $10O00O00 year
from the opium traffic. is not willing to relinquish that
advantage and opium in enormous quantities is still be
ing shipped into China in defiance of all protests.
Again China has appealed to the Christian nations to
keep off their greedy hands and allow her to be saved
Secretary Root has needed the plea He has taken the
matter up with the governments of Great Britain Ger
many, France, Japan and the Netherlands and inter
national commission is to look into the outrage.
The struggle China is making has continued for SO
years Indeed the island upon which Hongkong stands,
giving British foothod in China, exacted nden-
nifty for several shpoas of opium that destroyed by
the Chinese to prevent their accused cagoes from reach
ing the people.
1t is contest between heather effort at sefsalvaon
and civilized lust for profit in which all honest human
sympathy must be with the heather.
In this struggle the heather giving example

By this time Tommy was ra-

What became of the dagger,
Ned? What did you do with it?
Try to remember asked Cakes as
he motioned for attention to the
attorney and to Troop.
To those who knew the theory
or the murder as it had been
evolved by Cakes, the present mo-
ment was fraught with deep, tre-
mendous import; to the others,
even, it was filled with intense ex-
citement. 1t was evident to all
that the bOy-the only one who,
as far as known, was in position
to completely clear the mystery
was about to give answer to a
vital question. |.
To Quintus Cakes the moment
of silence was an age. Would the
boy answer so as to bear out the
conclusions that he had drawn? or
would Cakes reputation as rea-
sOner, as a detective, suffer a Sc

Cakes been in such a position, but
never had SO much hinged upon
an answer-so much for himself
and for the others in the case.
