Railway Extension southwsrd.

Monday night there arrived from the East special car of the Kan sas City, Mexico X Orient railway, en route to San Bias, the station in Sinaloa where the road named crosses the Cananea, Yaqui River X Pacific railway. It is stated that at San Bias there has been put in Y connecting the tracks of the two roads making easy trans fer of cars from one road to the other. It is reported also that all cars, locomotives, etc, going to the K. C., NJ. & 0, will be sent to San Bias and transferred there, effecting saving of transferring from rails to water craft at Guaymas, and from the ship to the rails again at Topolobampo. It will be also a great relief to the steamer of the Stilwell road, as the road from Topolobampo is known generally. the vessel being overloaded with traffic all the time. That road, which crosses the other at San Bias, is in operation now from Topolobampo to Fuerte, a town about thirty-fve kilometres east ward from San Bias, The Cana nea, Yaqui River < Pacific has laid it's rails to a point about forty kilometres beyond the Fuerte river, at San Bias, and is stretch ing it's line constantly toward Culi- acan, the capital city of the state of Sinaloa, which point it is antici- pated will be reached by Christmas.

Stretching Out.

Last Sunday afternoon THE OASIS man drove out to the scene of railway construction on the Cananea line, and found that there had been marked progress since his former visit two weeks preceding. The bridges on the two legs of the Y leading eastward from the main line of the Sonora railway, had been completed, the uncompleted links in the grade connecting the completed terraplane had been connected, and there had been laid several miles of track. At the junction there had been a steady accumulation of material, includ- ing ties, rails, spikes, tie plates, angle bars, bridge bars, bridge

timbers and telegraph poles; and the force of wofkmen had been augmented greatly. Along the right of way the poles for the tele. graph line have been set over quite a distance, and are almost ready to begin stretching the wire All construction is of the very best, the track, bridges, calverts, and every thing going to make up the com pleted road being all first class.

The Launching
of the Prornetheus.

In the San Francisco Examiner of
December appears a glowing de-
scription of the launching of the U. S.
collier, Prometheus. This 1880 ton
vessel, built of steel and launched
within fourteen months after the time
its keel was laid, was an output from
The Mare Island navy yard, the result
pf the labors of Naval Constructor H.
"a. Evans.
Especially is this event of interest
No Floridians, because of the fact
that Mr.. Evans is West Florida boy
and the large mead of congratuiation
and praise bestowed upon him by the
naval officers and civil and other dig
nitaries assembled at the launching is
reflected. in way, upon his family
end friends, and the whole people of
his native state.
Constructor Evans's little daughter.
Dollie, christened the monster child
of her fathers genius. And we may
well believe the Examiner when it
declares: "A pretty little brown
eyed thing, she was as self possessed
as any in the tnrong as she stood
there in her dainty frock the proud
possessor of huge bunch or Ameri-
can Beauty roses which she shifted
admiringly, as she waited for the sig
nal" 1t is sweet picture. and one
may well imagine the light of pride
which shone from those brown eyes,
kindled by her hearts love for faith
er who was honored for a great
achievement.
1t is announced that the cost of
building the Prometheus was lower
than it would have been if built un-
der contract. while. at the same
time. the materials used and the
quality of workmanship were up to the
highest standard The vessel was
pronounced perfect sample of naval
construction without a dissenting
noice, yet many who viewed her were
experts-veterans in the art of ship
building.
1t may well be concluded that the
government can find no better invest
ment than the maintenance of navy
yards capable of turning out such ex-
cellent ships. Not those only of mod
crate tonnage. but the great giants
which are required by modern condi-
lions TO guard the nations honor on

possibly agree with a policy. lowever

Getting a Lesson just Now.
All West Florida is getting a lesson
just now of the results of the reck-
less slaughter of the timber that has
been going on for the last few years.
Twenty years ago a dry spell like
that we are having now would have
caused no inconvenience so far as
water supply was concerned, but now
in many sections wells are going dry
and in some places east of here there
is considerable complaint of scarcity
of water in the streams for stock. De
forestization brings the same results
everywhere. A flood when the rains
come and then a scarcity of water in
the wells and streams. Will Florida
profit by this experience and the pres
ent example, that is the question:

Anyhow, We record the fact. We are

The value of a state railroad COM

the Southern Express Company to re-
duce the rate on fish from this point
TO meet the much lower rate in force

the Florida commission could have
acted in Pensacolais case! Not that
we doubt the fairness and good in
