MAY DELAY COUNTY OPTION
ELECTION At STATE CAPITAL

son for politics, still there is always
something going on that makes a noise
like a boom of some kind. For in
stance. there is just now talk of Carl
Riddick, the Winamac editor, secre-
tary of the republican state commit
tee for the next republican nomination
for secretary of state. Riddick has
not said anything on the subject him.
self. When he was asked about the
possibility of his being a candidate
when he was in the city some time
ago. he said he had not given the mat
ter any thought and that he was not
al that time a candidate for anything.
Riddiek has been secretary of the
state committee ever since the job was
reIinquished by Fred Sims, who is now
secretary of state
They say that when the time comes
to re-organize the republican state
committee the men who will be most
considered for chairman viii be former
Governor Durbin. Charles F. Remy, Of
this city. and AxiI Alexander. formerly
of Marion. now deputy treasurer Of
state. But the possibility of Alexander
is slim, for there is no certainty, in the
first place, that he Will be in the state
at that time. Alexander thinks pretty
well of Oklahoma and has large prop
erty interests down there and he may
take a notion to locate in that state
before next year rolls around. He has
been talking that way Durbin and
Remy Will both be here. of course. and
either would make a good chairman.

Progress OF Railway Construction


From a gentleman well informed
on the situation THE OASIS learned
this week the following items of
interest with regard to railway
construction on the lines to the
southwark of Nogales, building
now.
The gap in constructed track be-
tween Culiacan and Mazatlan has
narrowed now to thirty-five kilom-
eters, and the most of the grading
is we'll in hand. BY the time the
bridge work is completed it will be
done entirely, ready for the rails,
which will be not later than the
first of March, by which time
trains will be running into Maza-
tlan. AS soon after that date as
the necessary arrangements can be
made the road will be opened to
traffic to the Sinaloa metropolis.
Beyond Mazatlan, toward Topic,
there are twenty-five kilometers of
terraplane, upon sixteen kilometers
of which the rails have been laid.
As soon as the work between Culia-
can and Mazatlan is completed the
large force now engaged on that
work will be sent on beyond Maza-
allan, and work on the line toward
Topic will be crowded.
Upon the Yaqui river branch,
northward from Corral forces have
been increased greatly, and now
there are about 1900 men at work.
Heavy rock work has held back
tracklaying between Aqua Caliente
where trains are running now, and
Realito, some twelve kilometers
above, but within a very short
time it will be possible to lay the
rails to Nacimiento, which is about
five kilometers below Realito. The
latter named place will be reached
some time in March. Grading
camps have been established all
along the line above Realito, and
early in March, or in April at the
latest, dirt will be flying all the
way to Tonichi, which latter point
will be reached by the rails some
time in the coming summer.
Upon the line between Nacosari
and Moctezuma large force has
been put to work in the rock cut
ting below NIacosari several miles,
and several large grading camps
have been established in the valley
above Cumpas. By the time the
rock work above has been COM
pleted the terraplane all the way
to Cumpas will be done, ready for
the rails, which will be within a
very few months. That line will
build on southwark to meet the
line coming up the Yaqui river
and running trains now to Aqua
Caliente. The distance between
Nacosari and Aqua Caliente is
about 200 miles. And Nacosari is
about seventy-five miles south from
the Arizona line at Douglas.

CONCERT BIG SUCCESS
Five Hundred People in Empire Thea
ter to Enjoy City Band Prone
made Concert.

The concert given by the City band
in the Empire theatre last night was
an unqualified success. 1t was mus
ical and social event combined-made
possible by the place in which it took
place-and in this respect it had the
element of novelty.
A large audience was present, num-
bering five hundred or more. Unfor-
tunately the seats for the theater had
not been placed in position, for want
of time, so that many persons had to
stand, the remainder being seated on
the old skating rink benches. In the
center of the theater were tables
where ice cream and cake were
served Thanking this improvised
court on three sides were large palms,
the effect being very pleasing.
The concert was excellent, The
music was such as TO appeal to the
popular taste-neither too heavy or
TOO Highland it was very we'll rem
dered, considering the short time it
had been rehearsed. With the excep-
ton of the Poet and Peasant over
ture the gem of the program was
Strauss set of waltzes, Tales from
the Vienna Woods" which had the
true German favor and pastoral ring.
Every number on the program was
literally applauded, attesting an APP
preciative audience.
The program was varied by vocal
solo by Mabel Hunter who song
Rosary in very pleasing manner
AS an encore she sang Summertime,
some of the audience joining in the
chorus.
solo by Mabel Hunter who sang
During the intermissions and the
greater part of the concert many
young people promenaded, while some
Of them danced The scene was ami
mated and inspiring throughout and.
as intimated, the concert was quite
as much success socially as 1t was
artistically and financially.
Much interest, of course, attached
to drawing the lucky numbers for the
gold watch and range. Messrs l..
Dew. Gerhardt. Fl. B. Trees and Chas.
r. Davidson acted as judges of the
drawing and two little girls, in turn,
drew the numbers from box The
watch was won with No. 633 held by
