A VISIT AT ALAMOS.
"The Oasis" Editor Stops a Day at
the Antigua Capital Of Sonora.

ff
Walter Duane Bird, stopped over a
couple Of days to make II short
visit among his many friends at
Alamos. Wednesday had been
passed at Fundicion, the train that
left Guaymas Tuesday evening
having reached the smelter town
about midnight. Late in the after
noon a passing freight made it
possible to reach Navajoa without
having to await the regular passen-
ger train at midnight. At that
place there was wait until Thurs
day morning at s o'clock, at which
hour the Alamos train starts each
day.
The conductor of the freight
train had directed us to a place at
Navajoa where we could get cots.
We found the place without diff
culty-a restaurant with a saloon
and billiard table attachment. the
proprietor of which is an active,
amiable native who was kindly
anxious to make his guests as com
Portable as possible. He volun-
teered the information that the air
would be much fresher out in the
corral than inside the building,
and embracing the suggestion we
authorized him to spread our cots
out there. When we reached our
bedchamber beneath the sombre
canopy of the floating clouds we
were joined by small dog of mon
grel breed and decidedly social
disposition who evinced all sorts of
pleasure at making our acquaint-
ance, and went into camp for the
night in the space between the two
cots, constituting himself immedi-
ately our guardian, growing fierce
ly at every passer, of whom there
seemed one or more every few
moments. The small boy hazarded
the remark that we would find
the services of the dog charged in
the bill in the morning." remark
that was not justified by the result,
for the bill was very moderate.
In the darkest hour of the early
morning, rendered darker yet by
the dense black cloud that during
our slumber had spread all over the
sky, crashing peal Of thunder and
vivid flash of lightning awoke US
to realizing sense of a pending
drenching. We hustled into the
building our cots and clothing,
reaching the welcome shelter just
as the rain commenced pouring a
veritable cascade upon the CORFU
gated iron roofing above US, max
ing Immediately overhead a din
which rivalled the crashing volleys
from the distant clouds. With
breaking of the dawn the baruLIa
ceased and with the rising of the
sun came as fair day as was ever
seen. Taking the Alamos train at
the appointed hour we found the
conductor a long time resident of
Nogales-Charley Dethin-many
years a conductor on the Sonora
railway. Alamos was reached
shortly after II o'clock.
We put up at the Hotel Alamos,
