Live N ana gers.

The Tucson Citizen of recent date presents the following with regard to the managers of the Sonora base ball aggregations:
 F. w. Sullinger, left fielder on the Tucson tournament team, who goes to Pueblo i'll the Western League this spring, has a warm spot in his heart for the managers in the Sonora winter baseball league. And the warmth is all genuine and kindly.
 "Sully," who is spending few days here before leaving for Pueblo is authority for the statement that the Hermosillo, Empalme and Guaymas managers, "are real blue blooded sports who are dead game all the way through"
 He states that Burns who was at the head of the Empalme team is a kingpin among managers and offers ball players the best that Sonora affords during the winter season
The oasis., 1908-03-21

He adds that Manager Smith of lIermosillo and Manager Gonzalez of Guaymas rank alongside of Burns.
 Ball teams in Sonora cost money. It frequently happens that the expenses exceed the receipts but it is little the managers care for this," Sully says. "They dig down in their own pockets if neces- sary. What they want is baseball and they believe they had it this winter and SO do 1 for most of the contests were decidedly lively and fellow could not loaf in the games if he expected to cop victory for the opposing teams were too strong" is Sullinger's comment.
 Several local fans who saw some of the Sonora games bear out this statement. The team Hermosillo sent here for the tournament did not shine but the teams that town as we'll as Empalme and Guaymas secured later would have looked like a diamond of some carats even against the tournament entries here.

Fine Results Of underflow Of Ssnts
 Cruz River.

From all indications, the forth coming year is going to witness an unprecedented amount of attention devoted to the utilization of the unquestioned vast amount Of un- derhow which lies underneath the entire Santa Cruz valley. Experl- enced topographers assert that there is every basis for the state ment that enough entirely new water can be secured from that source to irrigate the entire valley, which as is we'll known is the most productive in the country when It has a sufficient amount of moisture.
 The Allison Bros., who were the builders of the Flowing Wells canal and developed several hundred acres of land northerly from Tue son, now known as the Flowing Wells Farm, proved the utility of developing the underhow of water in the Santa Cruz valley.
 After making a remarkable suc- cess of this farm, they sold the same, and began the developing oi water south of Tucson, near the Indian reservation, where they have nearly 1000 acres, 800 oi which they have cleared and put under cultivation during the last three years; every acre of which they irrigate by water developed from the underflow of the Santa Cruz, which can be said to be 2 new supply of water brought to the surface.
 Last year they put in a larg' area of alfalfa, and raised 25 acrei of melons and Rocky Ford canta loupes, both of which proved to b. of the most delicious flavor. The, are now giving their attention tC alfalfa, of which they cut seyera crops last year.
 During the past winter they hay enlarged their cultivable area iron 300 to 800 acres, nearly all of whicl is being devoted to producln alfalfa, of which they vii have not less than $500 tons and, if alfalfa should continue a last years price, it would give a income of over $40,000 from alfalf alone. This indicates the profit ( retaining the valley of the Sant Cruz to agriculture, where the SO is very rich and deep, and where appears that an abundance of wate can be obtained through the syster of developing the underhow an carrying it out on the land.
 The Allison Bros. have made very practical and successful tel of how to reclaim the valley Ian of the Santa Cruz.-Tucson Citizel

 Later the beaming face of James s Sherman of New York, the nominee for vice president, apepgred In the throng.
 Hello. sherman shouted Secretary Taft, extending his hand cordially tc his running mate. I'm mighty glad to se yoY. You don't. appear a II ysu had passed trough the siege of nominating convention"
 'I never felt better" responded Mir. Sherman We had a great conven- lion, and I take this opportunity to say to you that the result, so far as you are concerned. was equally great. wish personally to join with the coun- try in renewing my congratulations"
 Together, behind a throng of citi- zens, members of the Blaine and Stam- Ina Republican clubs, each carrying blue pennant bearing handsome like ness of the war secretary, the two candidates, arm in arm, walked to the entrance of the station where they were received by committee of the chamber of commerce, headed by Cap tain Thomas P. Egan, president of the chamber. Mir. J. R. Schmidlapp, a member of the committee, had joined the secretary on his train about ten miles from the city.
 An informal parade was formed on Central avenue and, led by band, pro ceeded up the avenue to Fourth street and thence directly to the residence of Charles P. Taft on Pike street. In | the first carriage were Secretary Taft, Representative sherman, Charles P. Taft and the ex-governor of Ohio, My | ron T. Herrick of Cleveland.
 The sidewalks were banked with people and the windows of business houses along the route were filled with men and women waving flags and pen nants. The streets were elaborately decorated with flags and bunting.
 About the Taft residence a great crowd had assembled, and the secre- ltary and MT. Sherman were cheered heartily as they alighted from the car .fage. Both bowed their acknowledge nents. the war secretary taking the opportunity to shake hands with sew sral of his old friends Mrs Charles P. Taft was the first to welcome the secretary to her home.

LAWSON OFFERS

To Go to the Campaign Fund Provided Johnson is the Vice President Nominee Don't Like
 Chicago Deal.

Boston, Mass, June 20. --Thos. w. Lawson, ia an interview to- day, excoriates the action of the Republican convention in uornit hating Tatt and Sherman and announces that he will give a million dollars to defray the ex- penses of campaign for Bryan and Johnson ticket. He has pre- pared 1, ,200-word letter to Bryan and has wired the Democratic leader also. This fund he offers to pay out of his own pocket.
 He says:
 s'If the American people stand for this latest aud rawest insult miss my guess as to the propor- ton of self-u~nect contained it the hideboupd r7t not yet com pletely benumbered carcasses Tn my opinion the nomination os Taft was fitting climax to the recent insolent contempt of pro- fessional cribbers for the people and their traditions. The Re- publican party, of which l am one, deliberately and coarsely trampled 10 the dust the dearest and most vital of all Republican tradltions--th the will of the major ity IS first before that of any mar.
 "So outrageously un-American vas the whole Republican con- veution affair, so foreign to all those things and ideas upon which the Nation has been built, that the discussion even of the personnel, private or public, ol the beneficiaries of the outrage upon American manhood is inn possible.
 If angels had been the ou'- come of the high-handed proceed liugs at Chicago it would be the sacred dniy of every voter to put his st4np of disapproval on their political beings. even though to do so re we're obliged to vote for lDebs." /"

MIR. TAFT's NARROW ESCAPE.
Prompt Action of Railroad Employees
 Avoids Wreck.

Dennison, O., June 23.-Secretary Taft had narrow escape Sunday night from being involved in serious wreck on the Pennsylvania flyer, which was carrying him east. Prompt action of the towerman in signal station a third of a mile east Of Coshocton and of the engineer of the Aver alone averted what might have been a dreadful accident. AS the train was speeding along at the rate of 30 miles an hour, the piston rod on the left side of the locomotive broke short off. Almost instantly the cylinder of the engine was cracked by the un- manageable rod The train was just approaching a signal tower east of Coshocton. The operator saw that something serious was wrong and threw down a signal to stop the train. The engineer applied the emergency brakes and the train of six cars came to a stop on a sharp curve. The acci- dent occurred at 5:30 o'clock as many of the passengers on the train were at dinner in the dining car. Few of them realized how narrow their escape had been from an awful accident. Secretary Taft and National Commit teeman Kellogg entered the dining car and sat down to dinner after the ac- cident occurred without thought of anything serious in connection with the stopping and delay of the train The secretary made no comment on the incident when informed Of 1t. The engineer of the locomotive explained that it was merely good luck that ayerted bad accident.
 If the piston rod after it broke had gone under the train" said he, "we would have gone into the ditch as we were running 50 miles an hour and the derailment would have been serious matter Fortunately the broken rod landed six or eight inches outside of the left rail. That savee us."
 Immediately the towerman sent 2 message to Dennison for another loco motive and after a delay of about al hour the locomotive arrived and tho Aver proceeded on It's way east
