within two years or less. The first was the woman Victoria Vasquez, whose lieless remains were found in the apartment. she occupied on Nelson avenue in the fall or winter of 1906. She had been an import ant witness in a murder case at the preceding October term of court, and her testimony before the grand jury had been the means of indict- ment of two men accused of mur- der committed at Mowry some weeks preceding the term of court; but she fell down in her testimony before the trial iury-refusing to go before the jury and give the evidence she had given in the grand jury room. As a result the two men indicted were released without trial. A few weeks later the woman was murdered mys- terlously, without any clue to the murderer. The other was the Chinese merchant, Wong Len, who in February last was found mur- { dered in his store in the same block as the latest murder, and but a short distance away from the
 latest crime of the kind. He had been killed with hatchet or hammer and his throat cut, and nc trace of the murder was ever found.

PHOENIX TO THE GULF.
An Electric Railway to Be Constructed
 From Phoenix to St. Georges Bay.

The following interesting infor- nation was transmitted from Phoenix early in the present week
 Phoenix 190 miles from deep water by an electric railroad. That is now confidently expected to be a reality in less than two years. The electric line will extend from California and construction will be commenced as soon as the Arizona Mercantile Transportation & Smelt- CT Company of Chicago can obtain the incidental concession from the Mexican government.
 The correspondent of the Los Angeles Times at Mexico City says that negotiations are now in pro- gress for this concession and that it will be granted within a short time. No trouble in securing a concession to run southwestward through Arizona is expected.
 The electric line is to be standard guage and run from some point on the Southern Pacific in Arizona to St. Georges bay. Though it has not been decided where the new road will make connections with the S P, Marcopa is understood to be the choice of the leaders ol the project.
 Little isknown locally concern, ing the Arizona Mercantile Trans portation < Shelter Company, but Is understood that 1t is composed of Chicago capitalists. It is be- lieved that this is the same com pany which has obtained a con cession to build a railroad from 6 point few miles west of Gila Benc south into the Ajo district.
 The proposed electric liue to tht gulf will cut the distance to deer water from Central Arizona points to about 190 miles. Phoeni, would be but 190 miles from tn, gulf.
 The importance of the construc ton of this line to Phoenix canno be overestimated. It will open ul a rich section of Southern Arizon; to that city and many advantage will accrue.

Laws on Use of Water At in a Single
 Volume.

The National Conservation Com. mission is compiling for publica- ton in a single volume all the laws and court decisions, both State and Federal, which relate to the use of water in the United States. This manual will be of immense prac- tical value and it is somewhat re- markable, considering the wide number of interests which are touched by these laws, that no such compilation has been made before this. With the constantly growing demand for interstate waterways, the increasing utilization of water power for the development of cleo tricity, and the widening areas of semi-arid Western plains that are being made arable through irriga. ton, these laws at the present time affect the interests of a wide varie- ty of individuals and corporations and in the immediate future the number whose business is directly touched will beyond doubt be greatly increased.
 The work which the National Conservation. Commission is doing
The oasis., 1908-11-14

along this line is extremely thor ough and the compilation will be complete. It will include all State and National statutes and all court decisions which concern water rights and kindred questions on both navigable and non-navigable streams and lakes. The citations will include all acts which relate to riparian rights, and public usu- fruct of water, and all statutes which concern mills, pollution of water, interference with navigation or the use of streams, diverting streamhow, and so on-in short, all acts which affect the use of waters and their private appropri- ation to power or other purposes. In the book will be included also some authoritative discussion of the principles involved in these laws.
 The National Conservation Com mission in its endeavor to make the compilation absolutely com plete and accurate has called upon the Governors of all the States for assistance and the replies in every instance have promised support. Considerably more than half the States have already appointed State Conservation Commissions for the specific purpose of cooper ating with the National Commis- sion in its work of gathering the material which will be embodied in the report to the President the first of the year. In the other states the state officials whose work most nearly touches this project are at work.
 A single volume containing all the laws which bear upon the use of waters in the various parts of the country, will be an exceedingly useful reference handbook. It holds possibilities of an even greater usefulness in that it will exhibit within limits that make ready comparison possible, not only the general tendencies of the laws and decisions on this subject,
 but the discrepancies that exist be-
 tween the regulations of different states.
 The fear is frequently expressed
 that the tendency towards monop- olization of water power, which has
 already made very great progress
 iu some parts of the country, will result in practically all of this
 extremely valuable natural re-
 source passing from the peep as
 a whole into the hands of compar-
 atively few men, with resulting
 higher cost of water power and water-developed electricity to con sumers and a tremendous advan- vantage to the few possessors. If this danger is justified by the pres. ent laws, it IS a matter of great importance to make this fact ap- parent at once. For this purpose nothing could be more effective than such presentation of all the
 laws on the subject as that which ' the Commission is preparing.

Another Killing.

Close upon the murder of the woman Guadalupe Gonzalez, re- counted in another colum of THE OASIS this week, came the killing of an unknown man on the Sonora side of the line Tuesday evening.
 It was just at the time of the arrival of the train from Tucson 3 o'clock in the evening. The man is said to have alighted from the train at the depot on the Arizona side of the line. He attracted at tention first by firing his pistol without taking it out of the pocket of his coat, the explosion of the cartridge setting the garment afre. He passed through the crowd at the station toward the water tank and made for the bridge across the arroyo. Crossing that he turned and passed along in front of the Hotel Arizona and THE OASIS office Go International street, thence across the arroyo again at the bridge there, and across the line passing between the Sonora rail- way depot and the arroyo. Not icing the man pass the chief of the Mexican customs guard sent one oi his men named Monarca, to stop him. The man hurried on ana the officer followed, overriding him al the point where the street crosses the railway in front of La Moda As the officer approached the mar the latter wheeled suddenly anC fired two shots, neither taking effect however; while the officer re turned fire a single shot from hi, pistol killing the other instantly.
 The remains of the stranger were taken to the potice station in No gales, Sonora, where it was dicov cred that one of bis vest pockets was filled with morihuana-a ma tive plant similar to the Orienta hasheesh-and in another pocke
 was a packet of cigarette papers It is believed the man had beel smoking the deadly drug ard be came crazed from it's effects.

SHOCKING MURDER.
Mysterious Milling of Mexican wo- man Saturday Night. Officers are Working on Clues.

Last Saturday evening an elderly Mexican woman named Guadalupe Gonzales, who earned her living by taking in washing, left her home about 8 o'clock to deliver some laundry work she had finished. Failing to return an hour later her daughter set up search for her, which was continued all the night and all of Sunday. About 8 o'clock Sunday evening her lifeless re- mains were found in little shack behind an adobe building in the premises known as "the colony" on the west side of the arroyo, opposite the post office. The un- fortunate woman had been stabbed in the head and neck and her throat cut, severing the windpipe and Gsophagus, and almost de- capitating her. Monday morning an examination of the premises de- veloped that she had been assaulted and killed while crossing the space between Terrace avenue and the arroyo in front of the residence of Mrs. Montague, and her lifeless body dragged down into the vacant shack where 1t was found. A pool of blood was found at the spot where doubtless she was struck down.
 Three Mexicans were arrested on suspicion. In the house of one of them, Damiana Piia, there was found knife covered with blood, and shirt that was soaked with gore. The evidence while strong is circumstantial purely and there is nothing further to connect the man with the crime. What the evid- ence against the others does not appear as yet, but the officers hope to clear up connection in due time.
 Monday Justice c. A. Gildea summoned a coroner's jury and held an inquest over the remains of the poor unfortunate. The jury included these citizens, viz: Bar ney Quinn, E. L. Ish, J. L. Branch I. Badilla, Madison Risinger, D. l.
 
 Benzinger. The jury was in ses' sion the greater part of two days but developed nothing of import ance, the verdict being that de ceased came to her death by reason of stabs and cuts inflicted by som, person or persons unknown.
 The persons under suspicion art retained yet in custody, the officers being engaged still in searching evidence in the matter. Tuesday Sheriff Saxon made a thorough search of the premises at tn, colony, and his efforts resulted il finding upon the roof of one of tn, thacks overlooking the scene of tn, murder very sharp dirk knif all smeared with blood. It seem very evident that after havinj stabbed the woman with one knif the other had been used by tn murderer to make sure the deatl of his victim. To connect tn ownership of the dirk knife, possible, would prove an import ant link in the chain of evidence 1t is that to which the officers ar devoting their energies.

 Don't trifle with cold'' is good ad- vice for prudent men and women. It may be vital in the case of child. Proper food ventilation and dry, warm clothing are the proper safeguards against colds. If they are maintained through the changeable weather of autumn, winter and spring, the chances of surprise from ordinary colds will be slight. But the ordinary light cold will become severe if neglected, and a we'll established light cold is to the germs of diphtheria what honey is to the bee. The greatest menace to child life at this season of the year is the neglected cold Whether it is child or an adult, the cold, slight or severe, the very best tre ltment that can be adopted is 10 give Chamberlain Cough Remedy. It is safe and sure. The great popularity and immense sale of fhis preparation has been attained by it's remarkable cures of this ailment. < cold never results in pnemonia when it is given.

Our Trade With Canada.

Last year Canada bought from tbe United States products to the value of l57 millions of dollars and shipped us about GS millions. This trade was con- ducted despite the protective tariff of our country and the very high tariff of Canada, which discriminates against American goods. Despite the fact that there are numerous remedies adver- tised for curing ailments of the stomach, liver and bowels, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has advanced continuously um- til today finds it foremost of its class. It's success has been due to it's ability to cure, even after the other remedies had failed, and we have many voluntary letters testifying to this facV. It cures poor appetite. heartburn: vomiting, headache, hackache, liver troubles, in digestion, cramps, dyspepsia, colds and malaria. We guarantee the genuine to be absolutely pure.

It has not been generally understood that every body in Tucson wear dia- monds, but they certainly have few there and they are evidently not safe guarded to any extent. An"ther dia- mond thief from that city was captured in this city Monday as he was alight- ing from the train. He is Karl Berger, d watchmaker. Berger was employed in the jewelry store of Henry Dietrich, from whom he isalleged tO have stolen $3O00 worth of diamonds and jewelry. Most of the valuables were found ina satchel he carried. Berger is Ger man apparently 70 years old, and of good appearance. He had been in Tucson only about month.

Mining Operations in No. .thern Yuma
 County.

Ernest A. Haggott, mining man from Los Angeles, in an interview with reporter of the Phoe nix Republican said:
 ''Iiegarding the mining industry around Salome and Bouse, Yuma coun- ty, it has not been very lively this winter, yet the past two weeks have been unusually so, number of mining men from Nevada and elsewhere hav- ing paid visit to the section and it is tb fought they will begin work on some claims shortly.
 "The Signal mine in Yuma county, on the Santa Maria, bas been bonded to the Western Mining and Develop ment Company of Chicago and a num- Der of men will be put to work at once opening up the property. It. is located in the Bill Williams mountains. The McCracken property in Mohave is showing up fine and considerable good shipping ore is on hands, all running in high values.
 "A deal on the Howells mine has been closed, the purchasers being New York parties. Within the next six months mill of eighty tons capacity will be erected at this property and more extensive operations will be undertaken. A surveyor has already gone over the ground to lay out the site.
 '' Considerable development work has been done on the claims, and fully 10000 tons of ore is in sight. The ore shows values in copper 10 about an average of IS per cent. It also carries considerable gold, as does ali or most of the ore bodies in that section.
 "A new road is being constructed from the Date Creek siding to the mine and when that is completed the hauling distance to the railroad will be reduced to about seven miles. MT. Haggott will return today to the How ell mine and remain there about two weeks while the work is getting started.
 Around Salome mining interests are picking up, as is the case in the Bouse section. The Harqua Hala Is running full force and the Hercules is going along as usual. Mir. Haggott says that while the depth of the ore bodies has never been fully determined, that the surface showings are fine, rum ming to high values in copper and gold. And as far down as the development has continued the richness of the ore has been very encouraging. The sec tion has the general indications of making great camp"

ry M. Gandolfo, one of the most enthu- siastic of the younger members of the lodge. w. C. Peterson, "An Elk Abroad" told of his own cordial recep' tion by the brethren in Yuma when he came in from the frozen north as typ ical of the fraternal camaraderie of the order everywhere in the country. He paid a glowing tribute to 476 and de. clared himself proud to be guest Oi this lodge.
 The musical numbers. all enthusiast ically encored, included an instrument al trio by Mrs. O. A. Wadin, piano, and Henry Levy and O. A. Wadin, violins; vocal solos by Mrs. G. w. Thing and Mrs. J. NJ. Speese; vocal quartette, Alessrs. Winsor, Heigel, Heyl and FIavell; mandolin trio, the Misses Greenleaf and Miss Thomas, with piano accompaniment by Mrs. Mulford WlnSor. The guests were unanimous in pro- nOuncing this session red-lettcr event not only in the annals of the lodge, but in the social history of the city. Com pliments. showered upon Chairman Wins0r and other members of the roundup" committee in charge were as spontaneous ant heartfelt and appre- ciatve as the enjoyment of the even- ing's diversions was genuine. It is no paragraph from the hot-air chapter just a plain statement of fact-to say that few men could have injected the wit, sparkling repartee and sustained interest into that precious court calen- dar that Mir. Winsor did, the while maintaining judicial dignity that hedged him about like circle of pol ished steel pickets.

Generosity.

Of a certainty one of the strongest candidates for the "hall of fame" is William Kent of Chicago. He has just donated 10 the government tract of 300 acres of magnificent primeval for est, lying within half dozen miles of San Francisco on the southern slope of Mount Tamalpais.
 While the intrinsic value of this dona- tion is less than a quarter of a million dollars, the gift will mean the protec- tion and preservation of this fine group of trees. The gift was q timely one and one that no amount of money could duplicate or replace.
