Railway Extension.

The grading forces on the Cana nea extension is progressing apace, and in the various camps between Nogales and the Santa Cruz river, and along that valley, there must be about one thousand men at work. There are six camps, and they are all throwing dirt. It is anticipated that by the first of March the terraplane will be com pleted so rails can be laid for ten or fifteen tAiles from the junction with the Sonora railway, near No gales.
 The tracklayer has been taken from the front on the Guadalajara extension, to the Yaqui river branch, extending northward from Corral. and it is stated upon good author ity that by Saturday night of next week rails will be laid into Cumu. ripa. About 800 Chinese are en- gagged in grading northward from Cumuripa, and it is stated that by March 1st there will be about twenty kilometres of grade ready for the rails, which will be laid then, carrying the end of track almost half way to Realito, which is twenty-five miles from Cuma- ripa.
 Upon the Guadalajara extension the end of track is now about nine kilometres beyond San Bias, on the Fuerte river.

sisted. but was sustained in the courts. While the matter was yet pending in the Supreme Court of the United States Oakes Murphy, then candidate for delegate to Con- gress in 1900, stated in speeches at Tucson and Nogales that there was no intention whatever to have the bill validating the Yavapai bonds stretched to cover the Pima bonds. But the Supreme Court has held that that act has validated them; and they must be paid by the tax payers of Pima and Santa Cruz counties, unless a relief can be se- cured from Congress. As Congress has been the cause of the unjust burden thus imposed, Congress should assume the burden. The work of inducing that body to act would be facilitated by sending a representative to Washington. The proposition of Judge O'Connor to have a number of leading taxpay- CTS unite in an indemnity bond to protect the supervisors was en- dorsed by the speaker.
 Many other speakers addressed the meeting in the same tenor, among them Messrs.. Bracey Curtis, Con O'Keefe, James A. Harrison, l. Burgoon, H. w. Kelsey, Harry Barnett, B. F. Powell, E. D. Miller of the Border Vidette, and others.
 In the end the meeting by ris- ing vote endorsed the proposition of Judge O'Conaor, and it was set tied that to make that the mode of procedure as outlined. The details will be worked out by the board of supervisors and the officers of the meeting.
 In closing this account of the meeting, THE OASIS will say by word of encouragement, that 1t be- lives that the action proposed is wise, and will result in beneficial measures.

The Wrong Man.

Information from Las Cruces, New Mexico, is to the effect that the man taken back there from No gales a couple of weeks ago to face a criminal charge is not the man wanted. He answered descriptions to the slightest detail, but all the witnesses to the crime declared that he is not the man who committed it. Then he stated that he is another man, named Francisco Leon from Solomonville. The man for whom he was arrested was named Nicolas Ledesman. When arrested the man admitted he was the one wanted.

WAR ON BIG SoMBRERoS.
City Council of Cuadalajara Decides
 they Must Go.

The City Council of Guadalajara has declared war on the mammoth straw sombrero, one of the most typical features of Mexico. A de-. termined effort is to be made to force the men of the lower class in this city to adopt headgear of more modest proportions.
 Under a decree of the State Legis- lature, just promulgated, City Councils in Jalisco have the right to take such measures as may be deemed necessary to suppress the big straw sombreros. The measures decided on by the City Council of Guadalajara will become effective January 1, next, and on and after that date there will be a tax of $1 each on the big hats. The regula- tons just issued by the Council read, in part, as follows:
 "On the first day of each month, dating from January 1, 1908, the manufacturers and vendors of big sombreros of palma, soyate v pa- ia" shall file with the Municipal Treasurer duplicate manifestations, giving the location of their estab- lishments and the number of som- breros then on hand.
 "At the time that the manifesto tions are made the Treasurer shall deliver to the manufacturer or vendor tags to the number cores bonding to the hats then on hand. collecting the sum of $1 .00 for each tag.
 ''In the interior of each sombrero the manufacturer or vendor shall place tag. The sale of a sombrero without tag attached shall be. deemed illegal, and a fine of from $1.00 to $500 shall be assessed for each sombrero sold."
 It is stated that if the tax of $l is not sufficient to accomplish the object aimed at it will be increased by the Council.
 The members of the State Legis- lature take the stand that the big sombreros are unsightly, that they constitute a public nuisance, and that no good reason can be advanced for their continued use. Governor Ahumada and the members of the Guadalajara City Council agree with the State lawmakers. The example of the Council here may be followed by city fathers in other portions of Jalisco, and in time other State Legislatures may also move against the big sombreros. So far as known this is the first step of the kind ever taken in Mexico.-Jalisco Times.

Overton, who had treasurer of Pima county, to Ess the meeting, as from his pr position he might be in ssion of knowledge with re- to the issue of the bonds l might be useful. Mir. Over tated that the bonds had been long before his advent in county, and that he had but knowledge of the matter. Of ponds authorized only por- bad been issued and delivered, n portion amounted to $150,- which with the accrued inter- as the sum now stated, some.
 more than $300,000, of the proportion of Santa

 onel Bird of TIE OASIS for his views in the matter. The greater part of the remarks of Mir. Bird were devoted to an explanation of the details of the bond issue and the manner in which the responsi- bility was fastened upon Pima county, long after the Supreme Court of the United States had de- cided them to be invalid, a point that had been somewhat hazy in the remarks of the preceding speak CTS. As he had been informed, stated the speaker, when the rail- way for which the bonds had been issued was removed, the board of supervisors of Pima county, realiz- ing that bunco game had been worked, refused to recognize the bonds as valid, and would not make an appropriation to redeem the coupons of the bonds as they matured. The bondholders took the matter into the courts, and by writ of mandamus sought to com pei an appropriation. From one court to another the matter was carried clear. to the Supreme Court of the United States, each and all of them sustaining the attitude of Pima county. Then the matter was approached in another way. Yavapai county had made an is- sue of bonds to aid construction of the Prescott & Arizona Central railway, which was built by cap italist named Bullock, between Se- ligman station on tho Atlantic & Pacific railway, to the city of Pres colt, in Yavapai county; and that road was completed and in success ful operation several years. After ward the Santa Fe railway built the Santa Fe Pacific railway from Ash Fork to Phoenix, via Prescott, which line was made part of the Santa Fe system, and operated as such. Through bills of lading were given to Prescott over that line, which were not given over the Bull lock line. As a result the business of the Bullock railway was wiped out completely. Then Mir. Bullock took up his rails and ties, and re- laid them in Sierra Valley, Cali fornia, where the road has been in operation since that time, leaving the people of Yavapai county with burden of debt, accrued to aid in the construction of a rail- way which existed no longer. The between the Yavapai case and the Pima case was that in the former the road had been built and operated in good faith, and had been removed only when an other railway, competing under more advantageous conditions, had it useless. But with the road gone, the board of supervisors of Yavapai county held that the of the bonds had been forfeited, and refused farther pay nent of interest. That matter too was taken into the courts, and the worsted. The depre- ,iated bonds were then sold, so it is stated. to other parties at about seventeen cents on the dollar. Then bill was introduced into Congress to validate the Yavapai county bonds, and was pushed through to enactment by Oakes Nurphey, then delegate in Con- ,ress for Arizona.

for the creating of the several boards
necessary for the proper care and at

if this important branch of the Dor

over to a board created for the eX-
press purpose of caring for this par
ticular department that better re-

the members of the board of warden

BLISS MAKES DENIAL.
Declares Ryan Story of Alleged Cam
paien Contributions Is Absurd.


New York, April 4.-For the first

with the contributions to the Repub-
llcan national campaign funds of 1900
and 1904 We're published Cornelius n,
Bliss, the treasurer of the Republican
national campaign committee in those
years, was provoked to a statement.
The provocation was furnished by the
alleged contention Of Thomas Fortune
Ryan that the $55S,00O distributed in
connection with the Wall and Cortland
street ferries deal had been contributed
to the campaign committee toward the
election of President Mckinley.
Mr.. Bliss denied unequivocally and
positively that any such contribution
had been received either by him or the
Republican campaign committee dur
ing that year. He said:
1.-THE whole story is absurd-impossi.
BILE. Such thing couldn't have oc.
Cured"
"You may have forgotten it." said
the reporter.
''Sir." replied Mr.. Bliss, "S50O,OOO is
a large amount of money. No. would
have heard Of this had any such thing
occurred, and l never had any hint Of
it until l took up the paper and read
this story"
