q Human Hog.

Mir. Frank Reagan, who return ed Thursday evening from a trip to Texas, relates an experience one day last week that goes to show how hoggish some men can be without the least provocation. He had been out into the reglon about fifty miles north of Midland, and was on the return trip, travelling in the regular mail conveyance an automobile. Beside himself the passengers were a lady and two other gentlemen. It was storming severely, and the trip was very discomforting. About twenty.two miles north from Midland the chaffeur discovered that he was out of gasoline, and stopped at the headquarters of a big COW ranche to see if he could replenish his supply. When they entered the living room the superintendent of the ranche had not sufficient civil ity to invite the lady to seat, and she remained standing until one 'oi the cowboys seated by the stove
The oasis., 1910-01-08

arose and gave her his chair. When the chaffeur asked the superinten. dent if he had any gasoline he re- piled that he had "plenty of it"- but he would not lend or sell can. He was offered ten dollars for a can, states Mir. Reagan, but refused positively to sell one at any price. There was a long distance tele- phone connecting the surrounding region with Midland, and one of the party got in communication with someone in the town who en- gagged an automobile to go out to the ranche and take can of gaso- line. The party would not remain at the ranche with the surly super. intendent, but went to a COW camp about a mile down the road, hay ing sufficient gasoline to make that distance, and there they awaited arrival of the automobile from town with the supply. They had to pay twenty dollars for the ser vice in bringing it out. At the end of about three hours the new supply of gasoline arrived, the tank in their own automobile was repleniShed, and the party pro- ceeded on their way.
 MT. Reagan says he has let slip no opportunity to advertise the human hog at the ranche who re- fused to sell a can of gasoline for ten dollars.

THE ROAD TO GUADALAJARA.
Three Hundred and Fifty Kilometers
 Yet to be Constructed.
iGuadalaiara Timcsl


 Beginning today regular passen- ger and freight service will be es- abolished on the Southern Pacific of Mexico between Mazatlan, Sin, and Acaponeta, Topic. For some months through Pullmans have been operated between Los Angeles and Mazatlan. The new section to Acaponeta is part of the Sinaloa division of the road, under the orders of w. s. Salter, superinten- dent at Guaymas, but will be in immediate charge of Assistant Superintendent R. J. Smallhousen, whose office is at Mazatlan.
 Over $50 kilometers of track will be necessary to connect Acaponeta with Magdalena. the present ter minus of the Guadalajara section of the Southern Pacific, and about fifty kilometers of this will be through the most difficult moun- tain and canyon country on the continent. Six surveys have been run in the "barrancas" west of Magdalena and another is being commenced by the San Francisco engineering party under Charles R. Breck. A minimum grade with fewest tunnels and brid ges is being sought for. both from the desire of economical construction and sub- sequent operation. There will be probably nearly thirty tunnels in as many kilometers, and every one of them in solid rock, if the de sired grade of between one and two per cent is decided on.
 It was stated at the local offices of the Southern Pacific yesterday that DO contracts for construction had yet been made for the sectior west of Magdalena, but that the last advices from Chief Engineer Long were to the effect that con tracts will be let in short time.

Whole No. 86o
Santa Cruz Club.

The organization of the Santa Cruz Club, which has been under way for several days, has been completed by the election of the following officers and directors; Dr. A. l.. Gustetter, president, Frank J. Duffy, vice-president; H. s. Creighton, secretary; E c. Piper, treasurer. Board of Directors-Dr, A. L. Gustetter, J. E. Wise, J. B. Bristol, Frank J. Duffy, H. S. Creighton, H. M. Clagett, w. w. Carney, G. H. Fiedler, pr. V. A. Sneaker.
 The Club has leased from MT, Cornelius O'Keefe, for a period of three years, the entire upper story of the Lyric Theatre building. The lease was made before the building was completed and it is being arranged entirely in accordance with the requirements of the club. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Bristol, Sneaker, Fiedler, Parsons, Fitch and Clagett, was appointed to plan the arrangement and fur nishing of the rooms. They are giving the matter a good deal of attention and it is assured that the Santa Cruz Club will have as com fortable quarters as any club of its size in the territory.
 The Club quarters will comprise a large, we'll lighted billiard room handsomely furnished; library and reading room with all the cur rent magazines, newspapers and periodicals; card rooms and a music room. In addition there will be ball room with the largest dancing floor in Nogales. All of the rooms are finished with hard maple flooring.
 For the management of the Club the following permanent commit tees have been appointed:
 House Committee-Messrs. Car ney, Duffy, Sneaker, Dawson and Krupp.
 Literature and Art-Messrs. Fiedler, Wise, White and Curtis.
 Entertainment-Bristol, Patton, Mundy, Hannah and Pennell.
 Auditing-Carney Clagett and Duffy.
 In addition to the usual enter tainment afforded to its members by such an organization, it is anti. cipated that the Club will give two regular dances each month, and possibly cards on alternate Friday nights. To these parties members may secure invitations for friends who are not members of the Club Invitations however will be limited as it was found desirable to limit the membership in the Club to one hundred and twenty-five in order tC be able to properly care for its owr membership. The Club was or ganized with one hundred and foul charter members and since tha date has been increased without solicitation to one hundred anC fourteen.

examination. The number of for eign fireman affected is small, the employees in that department being very largely natives.
 However, believing themselves affected, information comes from reliable source that the adjustment committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, which will meet here about tLe middle of next month, will ask General Manager A. Clark, of the National Railways of Mexico, for definite statement as to the terms of their future en- ployment.
 On many divisions a number of 6remen have, during the past few months, been promoted to posi- tions as engineers, thereby carry ing out the we'll defined policy of the merger system to employ na- tives in the work whenever and wherever possible. Many more firemen will be made eligible for these positions as the examinations progress, as is illustrated on the Guadalajara division, where eigh- teen men will undergo the required examination within the next week or two.
 Recently several brakemen have also been able to pass the examina- tion for positions as conductors, and have been given places on diff ferent parts of the system.
 The engineers are said to be worried over these developments, as it seems quite certain that the future policy of the management will again be stated to the adjustment committee of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Engineers when they meet here next month
 When this matter last came up at the time the foreign train dis. patchers quit work, it was definite ly stated by MT. Clark, however that while it was the policy of the National Railways of Mexico tc give employment to natives in all branches of the service, at the same time no foreigners in the employ of the company would be molested nor discriminated against so lons as his service was good and satis factory It was stated yesterday by a gentleman in close touch witt the management of the Nationa Railways of Mexico, that the stand taken then, and at the time openly stated, has in no manner changed Mexican Herald.
