informed quarters are impressed with
the claim OF the railroads that the
business of the country at large would
be greatly improved by a moderate
advance in freight rates, which would
add materially to the purchasing
power of the railroads and enable
them to order freely all classes OF
supplies, which they are buying now
only in hand to mouth fashion The
railroads, it is estimated, purchase at
least half Of the iron and steel out
put Of the country and more than half
of the rough lumber.

The Most Common Cause of Suffering

Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most common
of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying
to sufferers to know that Chamber
lain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and
make rest and sleep possible. In many
cases the relief from pain, which is at
first temporary, has become perma-
nent, while in old people subject to
chronic rheumatism, often brought on
by dampness or changes in the
weather permanent cure cannot be
expected; the relief from pain which
this 1iniment affords is alone worth
many time its cost. rs and 50 cent

The fine Portland-Asiatic liner
Alesia arrived in from China and
Japan early yesterday morning and
met her sister-ship, the Nicomedia,
in the channel off the 0. R. & N.
pier, bound outward. Captain Ernst,
of the Alesia reports a fairly quick
passage over, with no untoward event
to mark it. He was overheard to ex-
press himself, however, in no unmeas-
ured terms, of the last cargo he took
out OF this port. 1t happened to be
100 tons of rich and redolent ferti-
lizer, and from the captains remarks
yesterday, the farther he went to sea
with it, the stronger it smelled, until
it nearly drove him into the sick
bay, and he declared he never was SO
glad to see port in his career at sea
as when he reached the destination OF
that small, but strong, segment OF
his great cargo, and he has been
storm-driven pretty severely in his
time.

RICKEY'S DEED
DECLARED VOID
LOS ANGELES EXCITED OVER
OWENS RIVER WATER
RIGHTS.

BISHOP, CAL, Sept. $50 thor
oughly aroused has the city of Los
Angeles become over the disputed
water rights near independence
claimed alike by the city and some
Piutes that today City Attorney L. R.
Hewitt took hand in the matter I'M
the interests of the city.
Hewitt, as are all Los Angeles Of
ficials Sld visitors when here, is the
guest of Fred Eaton at his ranch near
Big Pine and yesterday spent all day
at independence and vicinity to COM
promise the water rights in dispute.
Today he was taken to Long valley
by Mr.. Eaton to look over the great
reservoir site.
The most obstreperous Indian
family is the John Odds family, whose
bill of sale for land which they own
ed was taken by T. B. Hickey some
years ago, transferred on an option
to Eaton and by him turned over to
the city of Los Angeles.
None of these parties took cogniz-
ance of federal laws which prevent
Indians from disposing of land before
they have held the legal title to it
for twenty years. Olds has been on
the land for more than thirty years,
but his title from the government,
however, is not nearly as old and not
old enough in fact to make transfer
valid.
When the facts of the transfer be-
came public, Indian Commissioner
Ashbury at Carson investigated the
case and informed Los Angeles that
the sale of the Olds property to the
city was illegal and could not stand
Odds was by this time indisposed to
leave the land anyway and when. or
dered to vacate by the city refused
His stubborness has been the cause
of all the trouble
4 Hewitt had nothing to say regard
ing the possible outcome of the dis
pute, but the laws of the government
, covering the case seem to be very ar
, bitrary on this point and the interes

THE DELEGATES
 "FRATERNIzED"
Anyhow There Was No Un.
 pleasant Outbreak
COchise Members Look Askance at the MaricOpa Contingent.

There was nothing lacking In the warmth Of the reception of the south ern delegates to the democratic terri torial convention by their Maricopa brethern yesterday morning but there seemed to be a decided warmth of ap- preciation of the efforts of the olive branch bearers.
 When the train from the south ar rived there was a small delegation of the Marcopians headed by a brass
 band. Hon. Marcus A. Smith uneX- lpectedly accompanied his southern CO., horts. He was among the delegates and fell into line of the march up town, but MT, Smith soon fell out on the theory that it was too hot to march behind 9 band.
 | The Cochise delegates did not get into the parade at all and the process sion was estimated by some of the by islanders to consist of nine men and the band. Democratic estimators plac- ed the number at thirty five.
 The reason given for the Cochise delegation for not participating was
 that it was a procession of Maricopa Ipopulists in which rock ribbed demo- crat had no place. But the real reason
 was that the Maricopa convention had
 turned down MT. Smith. The hold of
 the latter on CochiSe is as strong as
 it was in the last century. even strong CT. With the passing years Mir Smith
 has become a sort of religion in Co., chise and the democrats of that county
 believe that any attempt to defeat him either in convention or at the polls is a blow aimed at the republic ;an un- Idisguised attempt to overturn the con- stitution of the United States. | A democrat evening paper speaking of the meeting of the delegation from this count:' with the visitors said the delegates from this county and those from the south "fraternized." That is ltrue; they fraternized to the extent that no knives or guns were drawn and there were no overt acts of violence on the part of the visitors. The procession was escorted up town by the band, first to restaurants, then to the Hotel Adams and then back to the Santa Fe depot where all of the southern delegates took the train for the north.
 During the brief stay in town they declined to venture an opinion regard ing the organization of the convention today. They and their proxies were strong enough to have organized it any moment after the left Tucson but they said nothing would be finally determin- Jed upon until after their arrival at Prescott
 Among those from the south were Neil Baile- of Naco, E.. J. Whitesides of Nogales, and B. A Pa0kard of Bis bee
 Several of the Maricopa delegates also went north. probably all that will attend that function today. They were Chairman McNeil of the delega- tion; c. E. Wood, J. H. Langston, Frank DeSOuza and Paul Kruger. J. T. Bone went on a later train. Per haps others will take advantage of the excursion to Prescott this morning to be present.
