All Talking at Once.
Bill Finally Passed.

Later in the day consideration of the
bin was resumed and ii was finally
passed. In discussing the senate amend
ment providing for a readjustment an
mally of the compensation to be paid
for the transportation of mails on rail-
roads. Mr.. La Toilette said he had been
informed that the change would result
in from $3.50 900 to S3.0O0.0OO additional be-
ing paid to the railroads each year above
the amount the railroads now receive.
Mr.. PenrOse declared that the amend
ment would not increase the cost to the
government more than 100000 annually
and might result in a saving to the gov
eminent.

From a very reliable gentleman
who was at Imuris and Cocospera
last week THE OASIS learns that
there is III the field down there a
party of railway engineers who are
surveying route for line through
Cocospera canon to lmuris, follow
ing closely at the lower end the
line surveyed by the Cananea, Rio
Yaqui q Pacific railway some three
years ago, which route was aban-
doned for the line now in opera
ton between Nogales and Del Rio,
on the Naco-Cananea line. Upon
the upper end of the survey now
being made the line crosses directly
from the San Pedro valley to the
Cocospera via Marraquita and
the old Milpias smelter, in
stead of going around via
the Santa Cruz, and from that val
ley crossing to the Cocospera, as
did the Hartman survey. The
party doing the work described is
the same detachment that made a
survey recently between Douglas
and Cananea, and it is in charge of
an engineer named Broadhead.
The party is described as we'll or
ganized and QUILTED completely;
but all its members are very re-
ticent about the business in hand,
giving no information whatever as
to the ultimate point toward which
their survey tends, or who is pay
ing the cost.

known that ticks among cattle ex-
listed in Chihuahua and the eastern
part of Sonora, for which reason
there has been quarantine
against their importation into the
United States from either state.
except from the western part of
Sonora. To define more clearly the
line OF demarcation and permit ex-
portatlon of cattle from regions in
Sonora not infected nor in danger
OF infection, has been the object of
the arrangement now consum-
mated. To that end Doctors
Bray, Rigdon and Vega visited the
region involved and made thor
ough examination, satisfying them
selves that no cattle ticks exist
west of the line esta ablshed. That
part of the work accomplished the
result of their investigation was
laid before Governor Torres in the
conference at Hermosillo Tuesday
who promulgated an edict that es-
tabllshes a quarantine line in So
nora, to the westward of which
transit of cattle is prohibited un-
less they have been dipped; and
the quarantine against importation
of cattle into the United States
from the region west of that line is
raised.
The line established follows the
Nacosari railway, thence to the top
of the divide between the Sonora
and Moctezuma rivers, down its
summit to the Yaqui river near its
confluence with the Moctezuma,
and on down the Yaoui to the
gulf.
The establishment of the line
described removes the quarantine
on cattle existing heretofore in
great part of Sonora, from which
expectation has been prohibited
practically during several years.

To Prospect Oil In Sonora.

The Los Angeles Times of Satur-
day last presented the following
item OF interest to readers of THE
OASIS:
The Canarea, Yaqui River and
Pacific Railroad (Southern Pacifc)
has ordered from the Llewellyn
Iron Works of this city an all steel
drilling rig to be eventually set up
in Sonora, Mex, it is reported,
either around Cananea or at some
point on the Sonora Railway.
Delivery is to be made f. 0. b. Los
Angeles. There are two or three
points on the Sonora line where it
is believed oil could be found. For
seven years the railway investi-
gated, through experts, some of
these points, and its officials were
bitterly disappointed at receiving
adverse reports, as fuel was badly
needed and the government fatty
refused to remove the duty on
American oil, saying that those
who wanted it must seek it in
Mexico.
Traces of oil are said to exist
around Santa Ana, south of Noga-
les and west OF Cananea and there
mas been talk from time to time Of
drilling there. If Hartman also
intends drilling in the south, in
Chiapas and rabasco, he may ac-
quire some big petroleum holdings
in Mexico.
The rig is a standard cable af-
fair, differing from the ordinary
only in being of steel 1t is used
to oavoid the wood frames in that eli
mate. Steel derricks have been
used in the East.

mind Of the great wizard Of the
railway world, and that time
would develop other and wider

later The telegram included in this
article goes to show that the sur
mise suggested was not mere specu-
lation, and that the plan now pre-
sented for extension of the Harri-
man lines down the coast of
Panama, was a part of the original
scheme.
The benefits to Nogales that have
been made possible by the new era

The following press telegram
was sent out from EI Paso this
week and it is of real interest to
readers Of THE OASIS and the people
of Nogales as pointing out the pos
sibilities for the future:
EEL PAso. Jan. 20.-lt transpres
that A. H. Mckay, the well known
railroad man and banker of Mexico
City, who recently spent about ten
DAYS in FL Paso on his return home
from trip to New York, made his
visit to the eastern metropolis for
a conference with e. H. Hartman,
which has as its sequel the securing
of concessions for an extension of
the Southern Pacific lines now be-
ing built down the Pacific coast in
Mexico to Il connection with the
Pan-American railroad in the 18TH
mus of Tehuantepec, a distance OF
over 800 miles.
at is further stated that this is
the beginning of a plan by Mr..
Hartman to secure control of the
Pan American and to build from
some point on that line southwark
into Panama, which will constitute
the longest international railroad
in the world.
''Acting for Mr.. Hartman, Mr.
Mckay, who is vice president of
the Hartman lines in Mexico, has
secured concessions through the
states of Michoacan, Jalisco, OaXa-
ca, Colima and Guerrero, with ex
tensive grants Of lands as bonuses
for the construction of the line, the
concessions and land grants speci-
flying that it is to be an extension
of the Cananea, Yaqui River q
Pacific southwark.
Large subsidies from the federal
government of Mexico have also
been promised, and it is expected
that this line of road when com
pleted will be the most important
railroad in Mexico, and one of the
most important in the world. After
leaving Manzanillo, the road will
touch at Acapulco, in the state of
Guerrero, which is the best natural
harbor on the Pacific in Mexico,
and will then proceed to Salina
Cruz, where it will intersect the
National Tehuantepec railroad.
Several concessions for branch
lines have also been granted the
mileage of which will aggregate
about 1000 miles between Topic
and Salina Cruz.
"While Mr.. Mckay was in Ell
Paso several weeks ago, it was
known that he was in constant
communication by telegraph with
Mr.. Hartman and others, but the
kilograms were in cipher. and as
ne was not communicative regard.
ing his business, no one in this
city got an inkling of the nature of
the correspondence"
The extension of the Hartman
lines to Guadalajara was a matter
OF great Importance to Nogales, for
ltput the town upon great artery
OF commerce connecting up the
West Coast Of Mexico and the
United States with the interior of
the republic. When the conces.

Christmas Firecrackers.

In many parts of the south for years
after the civil war it was Christmas
instead of the Fourth of July that was
the season for frecrackers. Every
Christmas the storekeepers laid in large
supplies of frecrackers, and the small
boy of that period felt sadly sighted
by Santa Claus unless be found at
least one of his stockings stuffed with
punches of the little red explosives. In
these districts such a thing as fire
cracker on the Fourth of July was I'M
known. OF late years. however. the
firecracker has been restored to its
proper date in nearly every community.
and Christmas noise is confined chiefly
to the blowing of horns and the beat
ing of toy drums.
