SAN XAVIER BECOMES
 4 POLITICAL ISSUE
Interesting Political Phase Shown In Pima County
 Legislative Fight.
CPhoenix Denocrat.j

Tha political situation in Pima county developed a new phase when It was learned that the San Xavier mission may be the crucial test, af. iecting the Yotss of a sufficient num- Der to determine which legislative ticket is elected.
 some years ago bill passed both houses providing a $500 appropriation for the mission, which was later ve- toed by the governor. A direct state Ment could not be had from Bishop GranJan Saturday as to whether an. other effort will be made to secure m appropriation for the preservation of this landmark.
 However. members of the Pima leg. islative ticket from each party have been approached as to their attitude on the question of fathering an appro. priation for the mission. It is a pretty safe proposition to say that there is every reason to anticipate that such bill, properly fathered in the lower house, will be signed by the governor. This is an important matter for the reason that the mission is not only the oldest church on the continent. but also that it aas both a historical and a literary value, aside from it's general civic importance. It is dis tinctly an Arizona Institution, and a reminder of the early days of the territory. Its maintenance and repair Is a matter of public pride and public concern, and |. is quite possible that before the campaign is over, consid- erable segment of the vote will be found to have been directed by the attitude of the various legislative nominees on this proposed appropria. tior

CRIME ST|RS HAMLET
 IF SOCORRO
of Fl Paso County Texas, Puzzled To Solve Killing of Jesus Hernandez On His Farm.

FL PASO, Oct 14.-Who murdered Jesus Fernandez at his little farm home in Socorro, and left him lying beside wood pile with a bloody axe beside him? This is the question that is asked by the officials of Fl Paso county. The murdered man was a well known character and has several children who stand high in the com munity.
 Hernandez, w1o has spent all his life on his little farm in the hamlet Of Socorro, a little village on the c. H.& s. A., about 9 miles east of Fl Paso, was brutalIy murdered yester- day morning by some one who. up to the present time, has not bezn appre- hended. The old man has for many years been in the goat business in a small way, and worked his little farm down the valley.
 Some time yesterday morning a Mexican called at the home of Her aandez and begged for some thing to eat This was not denied him.. and after eating his frugal meal he said tiat he had been out all night wander ing around in the mesquite. After a little while the fellow left, and started in the direction of the brush. Her aandez's son watched him for several minutes and went back into the house, forgetting the fellow Later on he saw the fellow hiding in the brush and informed his father of it, but the old man paid no attention to 1t, and be- iieving that his guest was taking q nap, left his son.
 The son took, the little herd of goats to pasture and the granddaughter, yho lived with them, left the house 5o visit a friend close by, leaving the old man alone. It was while he was left alone that the murder occurred
 Shortly after the young folks had eft him, Hernandez went out to wood pile to cut some wood and while here he was rushed upon by his as sassin, bound, gagged and struck iIl he head with the axe that was found lose beside him. It is believed that he was forced to tell where his say. ings were kept and when he refused 10 do so was hit with the axe and tiled
 The supposition is then that the 'cbber after killing the old man ran -aeked the house until he found the id mans savings. which amounted Q about $200. and which he took from it's hiding place and hurriedly left fne rene If his crime. unnoticed by any one. His feet were bound together
 nd on e his hands was tied. Be ide his dead body was also found the
 fled trunk. which the murderer had
 fdentIv ruled outside to ransack.

 have had thirty years experience in irrigation in the Arkansas valley and 1 believe We waste more water than some countries have: and they make a success of farming. It has become a settled fact to reclaim any more land in the Arkansas valley it will have to be done by the econonl- ical use of water and thorough and practical cultivation and good return is almost certain.
 Among other things that irrigation brought to the valley is the sugar in. dustry, which brings large returns to the farmer and also furnishes work for thousands of laborers at good wages. We have six beet sugar plants iu the valley, which have a slicing ca pacity of 4,550 tons of beets per day. In 1907, the six plants paid the farm CTS for beets alone over three million dollars, besides large amounts for labor and supplies. The six plants paid for labor one million dollars to run the plants. For coal three hun dred and fifty thousand, lime stone about two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars and large amount paid for coke for which I have not the figures. Also large amount paid for freight to the railroad.
 One plant, the Rocky Ford, paid over three hundred thousand dollars freight in one year.
 The sugar industry adds greatly to our feeding industry. By feeding the refuse from the fields and sugar plants it makes it possible to feed out old stock that otherwise would be total loss It has brought us the largest and most practical feeding plants in the United States; where thousands of cattle and sheep~ are brought from the range and fattened for the various markets. where they find a ready market on account of the superior quality of meat.
 Land values have over doubled since we got our sugar plants. There is nothing that appears to reach all classes of labor and business as the sugar industry does. It makes il pos. sible for man without dollar to buy home and to pay for tlI;t homr in 9 reasonable time
 Irrigation has brought us many oth- CT things too numerous to take up the time of this great body of people too numerous to mention. But allow me to say that irrigation has made us what we are today, a prosperous peo- pie. homeIike country, and without irrigation we would have been d sparsely settled country and a grazing ground for stock. only.

MOVING PICTURE TAKEN
 OF REAL WILD WEST
fAIhnnnernne Io,lrnan

A moving picture that is likely to become famous was made yesterday afternoon just before the wild west performance at the fair grounds by Mir. A. J. Remer. who has been taking a series of films of southwestern scenes for use in moving picture thea ters. The setting yesterday was well chosen and the film is expected to be a great success. The picture begins at the old Sheridan home. with the stage coach and it's six mules standing in front The coact moves away, and in one of the adobe lanes in old Al bnquerque it is attacked by Indians, troop of cavalry coming to the res cue. The scene is realistic enough to have been made in the days of the real wild west
 In addition to his Navao picture Mir Remer has made several other films, one of the best bsing taken at Grand Canyon, showing a party in its journey from Fl Toyar hotel down Bright Angel trail into the canyon. The picture is one of the most diff cult ever attempted and is something of marvel in motion photography.
