At that price, the cost of running the engine would be ninety cents per hour for fnel. If 1t was run ten hours per day that would be $9 daily, or $270 per month. And his estimate of $75 for hauling IS away off No freighter would undertake the contract at any such figure. But they say that the oil engire that was described In the report of the expert who was here will cut the consumption considerably. That opens door for MT. 0verIon's guess. But we are informed by those who are posted that there are very few such engines in operation in America, there are required ex- pert engineers of the highest type to run them, and men who can are not plentiful. An engineer of that type cannot be got for any such salary as that quoted by Mir. Over ton-$140 per month. Taken in either way MT. Overton's calcula- tions cannot be made good. If there be installed the ordinary type of oil burning steam engine, the fuel will cost more than what he gueseses, and if there Is install led an oil engine, the expert help necessary raises the cost. Then the oil engine is very complica- ted and expensive in other ways, none of which ways are taken into account by MT. Overton. Neither time nor space will per- nit analysis of Mir. Overton's fig ures which would have been pcs sible had they been presented a week ago or more, as fairness would
 have demanded, but the foregoing paragraph serves to show what
 they are worth. Under careful analysis such as could be given
 with lime, the rest of them would suffer as has his estimate of the fuel.

By un- coupling it from the Pullman, draw ing the burning car some distance, and then uncoupling and moving the rest of the train the flames were prevented spreading.

 adoption of the Hartman system of management on the Randolph lines in Arizona and Mexico, in- cluding the Southern Pacific of Mexico, making the fourth unit in the great Hartman system to put into effect the reorganization. The three preceding are the California lines, with headquarters at San Francisco; the Oregon and Wash ington lines with headquarters at Seattle, and the Union Pacific with headquarters at Omaha. As stated, the fourth unit is the Ran dolph lines with headquarters at Tucson. The fifth to be reorgan- ized will be the Texas and Louisi- ana lines with headquarters at Houston.
 Under the reorganization noted the various departments are con- centrated, and their respective heads correlated in a way that gives an interdependence which goes for increased efficiency and more complete responsibility. In way the office of chief engineer, purchasing agent and superinten- dent of maintainence of way are abolished and while retaining the duties of their former offices the incumbents are all assistants to the vice president and general manager. The office of the chief clerk in the general managers office is done away with; and the duties done by him formerly un- der the name and responsibility of the vice president and general manager, are done now by the senior assistant general man. ager under his own responsibility. The position is practically that of chief of staff. In the absence of the chief of staff the second assist. ant general manager takes his place, and, when necessary, the third and fourth assistants cross over from their own offices and take full charge. Under this organization there is a responsible head in charge of the unit at all times, and the vice pres. ident and general manager is Jeff free 10 devote his entire time and attention to the larger questions of administration and policy.

"Tsxpayer" Presents Few Rettee- tions In Reply to the Circular Mailed

Nogales, Arizona,
 August 18th. 1911

August 18th. 1911 |. To THE OASIS:
 am in receipt of a circular let ter sent through the mail, and l am informed that all the regis tered voters in the coming bond election have received similar copies, which presents Mr. Over ton answer to the criticism leveled at his recent address at the Lyric Theater. At this late day close to the last publication of TIE OASIS before the election 1t is quite i'm possible to go over the entire pro- duction and present an analysis of the whole argument and the figures given, which are to a great extent those presented in his address.
 MT. Overton complains that In the former criticism there was pre- sented no argument against install lation of water system. l can not conceive of Q much stronger argument than the assertions laid down that MT. Overton'5 calcnla- tions were not reliable, and that even if he could make them good in actual application he is not the man who is going to apply them and the men who will be selected for that duty by the usual politi- cal processes of selection will noI be committed to those figures and will have no interest in making good, even were 1t possible. A municipal water system means g lot of political jobs, and there will be a continual pressure tc make as many such jobs as possible
 Mir. Overton's entire argument is built first upon an estimated annual revenue of $1S,000 alleged by him to be realized now by the water company, all of which he assumes a municipal system vii get, which it cannot unless the water company is bought out, anC second an estimate (guess woulc be more correct) of tue cost of run ming municipal plant.

THE POLITICAL TREND.


prospects for the election Of 8
Democratic President have never
! been brighter" declares Hon. James
T. Lloyd, of Missouri, chairman Of
the National Democratic C~ongression-
al committee. who was in charge OF
the campaign which resulted infthe
present heavy Democratic majority
in the House. "The Democratic par
ty is popular from n end of the
country to the other because the pres
emit House has carried out pre-elec-
ton promises. and made a creditable
showing in every way" continued
Mr.. Lloyd. "The many Investigations
conducted by Democratic committees
have been shown to the satisfaction
OF every Intelligent man in the coun-
try that the Republicans are guilty
OF Observation-Disclosures, and should be
relieved of the power"
Mr.. Lloyd is in a position to know
whereof he speaks and every obser-
yer of political events the past year
will concur in the opinion he express
es with reference to democratic pros
poets. The democrats in congress
have held the rudder true at an OPP
perfume period, and the wisdom which
has characterized their every move
ment in dealing with great questions
since they took charge OF affairs in
the House last March has materially
strengthened the party with thinking
people every where. Throughout the
extra session of congress, called by
President Taft, for the consideration
of the trade agreement with Canada
the democrats have consistently vot-
ed as the pledges of their party and
the interests of the people indicated.
nance and it is a perfectly reason
able presumption upon which Chair
man Lloyd basis his suggestion that
'The democratic party is popular
from one end of the country to the
other"
MI. Lloyd is right in according to
the House a large measure of credit
for the excellent results obtained, but
the splendid work of democratic SEN
ators on Thursday of last week, when
they were given a free hand, should
not be overlooked. And in the final
conclusions of that day events North
Carolina's two senators were found
at their posts fighting like little
men," This was the first and only
opportunity senate democrats had to
show their hand in the consideration
of a House measur and they went

How to Preserve a Husband.

Do you want to know how to pre-
serve a husband First be careful
in your selection. Do not choose one
who is too young, and take My such
varieties as have been reared in a
god moral atmosphere. When once
the selection has been made let the
past remain forever settled and give
the entire thought to the future. Some
insist on keeping the husband in a
pickle, while others seem toperfer
hot water. 1t does not seem to be
generally known that even poor We
rieties may be made sweet, tender
and good by garnishing them with pa
thence, smiles and affection. They
be wrapped in a mantle of
charity and kept warm with a steady
fire of devotion. Thus treated, they
will keep for years as good as when
first selected. Sometimes they i'm
prove with age.
