Work Suspended.

Construction has been suspended upon the line the Southern Pacific was building from Courtland to Naco, to connect the Naco- Cananea line with the main line at Cachise station.
 With regard to the matter the Bisbee Review of Tuesday presented the following information embodied in a special from Douglas:
 The railroad situstion affecting Douglas is now about as clear as mud. It became known yesterday thatthe Southern Pacific was aban- doning all work in the county as fast as the men can be paid off. Your correspondent got the story yesterday too late for its verifica- tion; it seemed improba ble that this railroad company would come into Sulphur Springs, grade a roadbed and then pull out without laying the track. However, this seems to be what will be done. Douglas will not get the Southern Pacific line at present, at least, and Naco is also to be disappointed in it's hopes for the new road.
 Messrs. Harvey and Randolph, of the Southern Pacific engineering corps, arrived in Douglas yesterday evening. When seen by an Inter national representative they both confirmed the report that yesterda V an order was received from head quarters to discontinue all work on the Nacc line and pay off the men as fast as possible. The first camp disme ntled was the one nearest Naco; the men in this camp were paid off yesterday and the teams and grading outfit will be started to Globe today, according to MT Randolph,
 H. 1. Randolph, when asked fol a confirmation of the report regard ing the discontinuanee of work or the Naco branch of the Southern Pacific, replied: "It you wan definite news oi the intentions o the Southern Pacific railroad would advise you to call at the Dis patch office. They seem to bt possessed of all information con, corning this road worth knowing However" he continued, "lt is tru' that orders have been received from Tucson for the discontinuanc, of work and the men of the variou camps will be paid off just as fas as 1t is convenient to do so. 1 an not informed of the meaning of thi order further than it means that tn, work is to be abandoned and tn outfits moved away"

Letter Office.

Something like 2.OOO.OO letters
annually fail OF delivery in the United
States owing TO insufficient postage
or incorrect addresses The dead let
ter Office at Washington employs a
large force OF clerks to handle these.
The packages that have been received
at the dead letter Office have con
tained false teeth, glass eyes. brass
keys and thousands OF other things
that one would never expect to find
in the mails.
II would be interesting to know
how many engagements have been
broken, how many friends have been
estranged, how many fond hearts
have not been reunited how many
deals have fallen through. how much
money has been lost and how many
quarrels have been prevented by let
ters that never came.
A pretty romance was revealed at
the dead letter Office the other day
when young woman called there to
see n wrongfully addressed letter
had been received n had. and she
was greatly relieved. ~ heard that

CORPORATION OFFICERS
OATHS TO BE ACCEPTED
Government Says They May Swear
to Returns Instead Of Giving
Inventories.

Where corporation through its
books or otherwise can ascertain its in
come sufficiently for the officers to make
oath to the return as true, this will be
regarded as equivalent to an inventory,
and a physical inventory need not be
taken.
1T is realized, however, that in the
cases of many corporations, income for
the calendar year cannot be ascertained
without taking physical inventory at
the end of the calendar year, and the
law being explicit both as to the period
and the income, where such income can
not be ascertained without a physical
inventory, this will have to be taken. -
This is the view expressed by the in
ternal revenue Office in response to in
quiries from corporations who are finding
themselves embarrassed in making re-
turns in cases where their fiscal year
is not identical with the calendar year.
1t is especially important to these con-
of a physical inventory Of merchandise.
supplies or other materials is as stake.
The law provides explicitly that the re-
turns Oh which the / per cent tax Is to
be paid are to be made as of the end
of the calendar year.
The ruling made by tire Office, 1t is
said. is to apply only to the returns
from the currents year.

CLAMOR FOR DIAMONDS
INDICATES PROSPERITY
Demand for Gems in This Country
Jumped to $25, 200, 900
Worth in 1909.

Prosperity has returned, according to the
figures Of the imports ard exports for the
calendar year Of 1909. just published by
the bureau of statistics OF the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor.
The surest indication of ready money.
officials declare, Is the diamond market.
and during the first eleven months Of 1900
this has doomed, the importation Of cut
diamonds amounting TO $25.214.541, three
times more than during the same period
last year and almost so. 100000 more
than during that time i'm 1907. In fact.
the imports of cut diamonds for this year.
with December omitted. amounted to
over a million dollars more than for the
twelve months of 1907, the banner year In
the importation OF cut diamonds. On
these cut diamonds this year the United
States government has collected s.. 200. 600
In duties. Belgium and Netherlands are
the countries selling the most of these
stones to the United States
1t will surprise many people to learn
that over forty million dollars worth
of diamonds and other precious stones
were imported into the United States for
the first eleven months of 1909. These
are the correct figures and represent an
increase of $oS,CO0OOo over the figures OF
1903 and more than $s.0O00oo over 1907.
this country's record year for the imports
of jewels.
During the calendar year the foreign
commerce of the United States exceeded
i'm value that of any earlier year. with
the single exception of 1907 The imports
were larger than for any previous twelve
months. but the exports will fall some
what below those Of 1906 and 1907.
The only matter for serious reflection in
the report Is the statement that the ex-
portation of foodstuffs. both raw aud
manufactured. has fallen lower than
has been noted in decade. This gives
rise to some apprehension, especially when
IL is accompanied by the statement that
while other countries are selling to the
United States this countrys trade with
other nations has suffered
