Uirich's III Luck.

Yesterday, Claude Ulrich, a substi-
tute carrier, had much hard luck. At
Fairview residence he was attack
ed by a dog, and only by making a
quick retreat, saved his breeches and
his skin. In the morning his horse,
which had been clipped the day before,
refused to be patient, and almost ran
away twice. Other carriers who have
had their horses clipped, report sim
liar occurrences and attribute it to the
horses becoming cold.

Dogs Cause Complaint.


Dogs are probably responsible for
more complaints from the carriers
than any other one thing. The spring
of the year seems to be the worst time
Of all and the complaints have been
more numerous than usual, recently.
Orders have been given the carriers
not to deliver mail at any place where
they have to- fight vicious dog. How
ever, the carriers in many instances do
not comply, because they do not care
to complaint against one Of their pa
irons. It is always result that when

Robert s. Brooks Drowned.

A press telegram from Fl Paso, in the newspapers of Tuesday and Wednesday of the present week conveyed the intelli- gence that MT. Robert Stewart Brooks, we'll known mining engi- neer had been drowned on the 9th inst. in the Yaqui River at some point south of Moctezuma. No par ticulars of the fatal accident were transmitted. Deceased was travell- ing with a pack train, and at the time of the drowning his body was not recovered
 MT. Brooks was known we'll ali over 1.-the West Coast of Mexico and in Arizona. He was at N[azat- Ian, Culiacan and other points in Sinaloa during the winter months, and returned thence in the latter part of March, remaining at No- gales several weeks in April. From Nogales he went to El Paso, where he made his headquarters, and thence he returned to Douglas in June and went southward on the trip which was terminated with his life.
 Mr. Brooks was native of Pat terson, New Jersey, and a graduate of Princeton University, being a member of the class of 1896 in the engineering department of that great educational institution. He came to the Southwest in 1902, and associated for several years with the Greene interests in Chihuahua. Of late he had been travelling for Doctor Ricketts of the Cananea Company, and was representing that interest in his field work in Arizona, Sonora and Sinaloa.

Whole No. S44
Held to the Grand Jury.

At the time of the murder of Edwin Eagan, near Calabasas on the ninth of June, it will be recall ed that man named Cashmere Ro- nero was arrested upon suspicion, and has been held in jail since that time, while the officers have been engaged busily in collecting evil dence. Considerable success has at- tended the efforts of Sheriff Saxon and his deputies, so much so in fact that the preliminary examination of the suspected man was held be- fore Justice J. J. Chatham of Mo- gales precinct on Monday of the present week. But part of the evidence discovered was submitted, but that which was presented to the Court, while circumstantial was very strong. Two witnesses were examined, and there was introduced certain exhibits that tend strongly to connect the accused with the crime. The result of the examina- tion was that the defendant was
 held without bonds to appear be- fore the Grand Jury at the October term of the District Court.

YAQUI DELTA.
Special Correspondence From Es- psrsnza Showing Great Results.

lE BlpnV oSp'AbJt DSNViOio oiO DllhS ing their goods in by the car load the freight warehouse is overbur- den ed with farming implements of all descriptions, huge steam blows are being unloaded from flat cars, furniture and lumber is stacked along the depot platform and the beginning of the rush of settlers to the Yaqui valley has commenced. This is but the vanguard of the army that is expected in the fall; already inquiry is being made for lands from Northernmost Canada, British Columbia, Manitoba, AL berta, Oregon, Washington, Calif- ornia, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Mis- Souri, Iowa, and Nebraska, with the first few inquiries from Eng land, South Africa, and the East ern United States.
 The settlers that came in when the first block of land was opened for settlement are reaping a won drous reward, for they are bring ing corn, wheat, garbanzo and al- falfa to the depot by the wagon load, It is nothing to pass on the road to Ontagota a dozen teams, whips snapping and wagons creak- ing with the effort to move these immense loads of staples.
 The few who have putin alfalfa are indeed fortunate, one man shipped 100 tons of alfalfa from one cut ting, over a little more than sixty acres of land. Alfalfa is worth from $15 to SIS gold per ton, and alfalfa is good for seven cuttings a year in the Yaqui valley.
 At Ontagota we saw a stack of Bermuda onions piled three feet or more high and covering a hundred square feet of ground, and were told that they were dug from eight short rows.
 This is the season for water. melons and cantaloupes, and the few settlers who put their land in this fruit are working by orch light to pack and crate as fast as the demand requires.

pital in this favored cline but the Richardson Construction Com pany, are solicitous for the welfare of their thousands of employees and in addition the hospital will be an assurance to the incoming settlers that the best of medical and surgical care is to be had if the occasion ever arises.
 Machine shops are building, one is already completed, a garage for the company's automobiles is con- pleted, brick yard is completed and turning out brick for the set tiers. An adobe yard is laid out and an advance supply of 10000 "dobes" is on hand, this is the ma terial of which all buildings are be- ing constructed. Houses made of this material are delightfully."- coolin summer and warm in winter. The houses here are an education. Our California friends could learn many useful things from stepping into this "Charles Dana'S" bit of old California, and seeing the beautiful old Spanish haciendas. They are all built for this climate, where frosts are unknown, with corridor running through the entire length of the house, the rooms opening out of this corridor on either side, verandas on all sides, walls two or more feet thick that keep out the heat of the day, great wide win : dows, screened and barred, so that one may sleep with the windows wide open and feel secure. Many connoiseurs would delight to in- spect some of these houses, with their high mahogany wainscoating, and old Spanish cedar furniture.
 By the way this furniture is ob- taina5le' for absurdly low prices, chairs cost as low as $1.50 each and are marvel of cabinet work,
 fastened together with wooden pegs,
 and covered with natural hide.
 There are thousand things around
 these old houses that are delight:
 old OItGS, shady verandas, and ven.

 Company report that they have

 The Yaqui river is the largest, and has the largest watershed of any river in Mexico. This great watershed extends six hundred miles back through the mighty ranges and gorges of the Sierra Madre and continental divide, whose melting snows and rains furnish an inexhaustible supply of water that is carried through the Richardson Construction Com pany's canals and laterals out over this rich delta of the Yaqui. This delta is like the Nile delta in many ways, and like the Nile delta is coming to it's own, for until twelve years ago the Nile delta was farmed and irrigated much as the Yaqui delta has been, in the crudest and most wastful way; but twelve years ago the reclamation of the Nile lands was undertaken and practi- cally the same system used, that is now being made use of by the Richardson Construction Company in irligating the Yaqui delta.
 Land is now selling in Egypt for $500 per acre, and the possib- ilities are as good in the Yaqui valley.
 Quoting from Mir. Iddings report, American consul general to Egypt.
 Egypt produced 634, ,S49,300 pounds of cotton, worth S5, ,45S,060 dollars in 1908 and the United States bought to the amount of $10, ,354,385. In 1907 the crop was larger and the United States took $16,000J000 worth"
 The climate, soil, and general conditions are much the same in the Yaqui valley as in the Nile delta, and who can say what the possibilities are for raising cotton
 The cotton that has been raised from inferior seed in the Yaqui valley is good, but until now there has been no area large enough under irrigation to gain any de. finite data.
 The Richardson Construction Company have withdrawn practi. cally their entire holdings, approx imately 600,000 acres of land unti the second unit of construction work is completed, this will en, nance the value of their holdings as water will be on all the lanC ahead of lands being sold.
 Here in the Yaqui valley ther, is room for a million people; anc with low priced land, abundance of water, rich soil, excellent mar 7 kets and a delightful climate s where the "trade winds" blov /; gently every day in the summer l tempering the heat of the day, anc where the winters art the most de f lightful on earth, it is easy to pre- l dict that the near future will se
