BODIES OF SOLDIERS E
 CREMATED IN MEXICO
Battlefield Near Agua Prieta> had
 Ghastly Relics of Revolution.

Following the discovery of num- Der of unburied bodies m the vicinity of Agua Prieta, bodies of men killed during the revolution who had been given either no burial at all or whose bodies had been thrown under d slight covering of earth which was dfterward washed off by the rains, Acting Consul Uriguen and pr. A. w. Vanne man of Douglas were called to Agua Prieta last Friday. They were appraised of the fact that three deadabodies of soldiers who were killed in the battle fought be- tween the forces of Blanco and the federals. were lying unburied at a point about four miles east of Agua Prieta. They visited the spot with Commissioner Herrera and a force of men and discovered that the informa- ton was correct. It was decided that in the condition the bodies are in it would be best to- burn them. This was done.
 It is said that four more bodies of men who were killed in this battle lie at another spot on the battlefield and it is said that these bodies will also be cremated.
 Ii has been known for a long time that the first three bodies were at the spot where they were burned yesterday Several pictures have been made Of them and have been sold broadcast over the country. This is the first time that the authorities have been officially notified of the fact that they could act in the matter.

Accordingly, one morning on her way to school she purchased cake or soap and gave it to the child, telling her to come back eo school clean. When the youngster returned at noon. the teacher queried:

 City ordinance No. 427 gave the city marshal his authority for raiding the Gentlemen owl Club, in which it was well known that liquor was sold on Sunday The ordinance prohibits "any association or organization. whether formed for social, business, CT other purposes. from selling, giving away, or otherwise disposing of intoxicating liquors on Sunday"
 It was the contention of MT Simpson, the secretary, that this ordinance is commonly violated by the other clubs of Phoenix, reference being made to the Arizona and Afro American clubs. When asked yesterday afternoon if it was true that the ordinance was vio- lated by the clubs mentioned by Simp- son. Marshal Moore replied: It is not true. These clubs do not sell liquor on Sunday, and l knew before making the raid that the Gentlemen Owl Club did sell it. Anyone who thinks that I am making the law reach one man and fall short of another is entirely wrong. When took the office of city marshal after the election I had no campaign pledges to fulfill All I promised was that would enforce the city ordinances and l intend to do it. I am under no obligations either to any person or any organization, and l feel so absolutely free to perform my duty that I intend to keep right after the law breakers no matter where I find them.
 'I live on my salary, and when I de- eide that it isn't big enough for me-if it ever becomes necessary for me to resort to graft. intend to give up the office. That will be the only thing for me to do. There are some people who say there is graft in this office. There has been no graft in this office since l came into it, and there isn't going to be. I have no means of knowing exact ly what my officers do, but I have confidence in them, and believe they are doing the right thing. If they are not and someone will show me that they are not, I will very soon stir things up and get at the bottom of the matter.
 'fI raided the entlemen owl Club be- cause the law was being broken in their rooms. Of course they have rais- ed objection since. but we always ex- caught in the act. We don't mind it in the police department, and we intend to go right ahead"

THE WRONG BOY.

A certain Sunday school head teacher was much worried by the noise of the scholars in the room next to him. At last, unable to bear with it any longer. he mounted a chair and looked over the partition dividing the two rooms to see who the offenders were.
 Seeing one boy a little taller than the others. talking a great dai, he leaned over, seized the boy by the collar. lifted him over the partition and banged him in chair, saying Now, be quiet"
 He then resumed his lesson until about a quarter of an hour later, when he saw a small head appear round the door. and a meek little voice said: Please. sir, you've got our teacher-Ideas.

Respectfully submitted, THE SALT RIVER VALLEY ELEC- TRIC RAILWAY COMPANY.

Phoenix, ArlZ., Ang-, Ith, lSll.
 Following the reading of the state ment, MT. Furman said, 'I want to lay particular stress on the part of that statement that says that we are not asking for this franchise as bluff We intend to construct, op- crate, and maintain an interurban electric railway, and we are not going to construct if for the purpose of sell ing We are going to operate it our
 selves. Of course we can't prevent some outside person from buying stock here and there and getting con trol of the company, but we can pre- vent it until such a time as the road
 is in operation.
 Our line will go from Phoenix to Ingleside and Scottsdale. and to other
 points in the valley. and we want the people to be satisfied. We in- tend to haul freight and express as we'll as passengers. We have been busy lately securing rights of way along the route of our pro- posed line, and are raising money for its construction. We do it by making an assessment on the lands which lie along the line, an assess ment. of course. which we cannot collect, and do not try to collect. It is paid voluntarily by the farmers, and for every dollar that is paid in we issue stock in our company.
 We have had very good success in raising money in this way. and during the last ten days of work we have averaged more than S4.000 a day. The people who take stock on this arrangement agree to pay half the amount due when the rails are laid from Phoenix to Scotsdale, and the other half when the line is in oper- ation If it is impossible for anyone to settle for the second half when it falls due, the company will stand ready to accept a note bearing per cent for the amount, with the real estate as security.
 "Our capital stock is S6O0,OOO, but the board of directors has ordered
 the sale of only s2OO.O0O of the capi7 tai stock. We think this amount will
 be submitted to the vote of the peo-
 pie, and agrees, further. in case the franchise is secured. to construct their lines at existing grades. sub

AT last definite news is coming re-

is now being freely offered for the
better lots in the Sonoma, California,

Offers of 201sc are being freely
made for Oregon contracts on the

in hop contracts at this time among

dealer this morning, stated that the
hop yards around Markwest and San

feet under water as a general rule
and the roots are souring.

snagboat Mathloma and the dredgel
Champoeg are here and will begin OBJ

proving the west bank of the river
for distance of half a mile For
many years the high waters of the
Willamette have gradually washed
away the banks, extending from the
steel bridge to a point opposite West
Salem, and as the result of the CON
tinual wash that section suffers dam
age each year from high water
1t is the plan of the government
engineers to throw up heavy super
embankment along the west side Of
the river and deepen the channel run
ming along the affected portion, so
that the river cannot go over the
banks and flood the farm lands in
that district. The dredger will also
do some work ON the, west side of
Minto's gravel bar, which will tend to
throw the current of the stream near
er to Salem.
