According to this gentleman Torres was far seeing before the crash came and took preliminary measures to save his large Sonora estates.
 When Torres saw that the end Nas approaching. according to tho Informant he realized what ready cash he could and then proceeded 10 transfer by deed his real estate in HeTmosillO and other large Sonora holdings to a German resident of HeruOsiiio, not a Mexican citizen N"N "a aAtl1tA DA tlt AdiceE.

PIONEER HOME CREDIT TO ARIZONA.

The building of home in this territory for the old pioneers, who were active at any time in their ca reer in developing the resources of the territory, is one of the distin- guishing credit marks for the terri tory and future state. The Pioneer Home in Prescott is now housing a good many of the old boys who were in Arizona during the early days and engaged in development pur- suits. This home, of course, was not intended for every man who came to the territory and met with financial reyerses, but it is intend cd for those who were engaged in some effort. for the building up of the industries of the territory, such as mine development. reclamation of arid land and putting 1t in cul- tiyation. etc.
 The men who came to Arizona to undertake the development of the resources in this territory. and who met with misfortune and need in the declining years of their lives are to be cared for at public ex- pense. and if there ever was a de serving class of men it is these old pioneers who brayed the hostile In- dian and endured the hardships Of the desert, and in so doing made # possible for the present population to be here and in the enjoyment ot prosperity.
 Be it ~aid to the credit of the ole ninneers that there are yet few in mates of the home. but the home is there where g hearty welcome vin always await those who may be de serving of its comforts.

Feeling still Bitter.

That tho feeling against Torres and associates is still very bitter was shown recently by tho treat mept that Aguilar received on his return to Hermosilio from Les An aeles where he had been since the revolution ended When be left the train at the station he was violent ly attacked and tO save him the officials had to take him in charge and hold him incommunicado Gayou ordered that he should leave the country forthwith. but when the time came for him to take the train there was a crowd estimated at 5000 about the station and Azuilar did not ap- pear. it is thought that he has been spirited away quietly but Of this people in Hermosilio have no in formation
 The bitterness against Aguiiar was occasioned as much because it was thought tbat he had been sent back Co feel out sentiment for others as because Of any antagonism against himself.
 In regard 10 the Yaqui situation in the vicinity of Navajoa and Corral this man said that they were quiet but had @ persuasive way Of ob- taining whatever they might require.

NOVEL WAY TO END STRIKES.

At Des Moines, Iowa. a remark able event mas occurred, whice is without parallel in the history e Iaoor strikes. t is the assumption ol authority By a court to cad the strike. Both parties to the eonten- ton were so surprised in this case that they yielded obedience.
 On Saturday a street car strike was marked by scenes of violence, attempts at riot. attacks which re- suited in bloodshed or damage and threatened murder and destruction. srike-breakers had been brought ia by the car eompany to fight the strikers, and this had infuriatel them aud their sympathizers so that the streets of Des Moines were likely to run red. That night, about 10 o'clock, Judge De Graf of the United States district court issued an emergency order. making 1t man datory upon the street car company to resume public service within twenty-four hours, and upon the old employees of the company to go back in v-ori, at that time.
 The effect was salutary. Al mii- night the strike organizer ordered the men to go back. The company questioned the authority of the court, but under advice of its at- torney, thought it best to obey the order first and test it's validity af- terward. By sunday evening cars had resumed running on schedule time.

FASHION PUBLICATIONS AS
LITERATURE.

The attorney for fashion magazine
told the commission which is investi-
eating the question of raising the rate
on second class mail matter that the
publications setting forth what is the
latest mode in woman's wear was
literature" whereat the president of
Harvard College smiled incredulously.
The mooted point came in for several
moments of interesting debate.
President Lowell has studied the
laws and customs of Europe too deeply
not to realize, on second thought, that
the lawyers contention was not only
sound, but that the fashion magazines
are the repository of an important
phase in the life of the people. Of
course the general reader will be in
clined, like President Lowell, to smile
incredulously at the thought of over
skirts and shirt waists and sheath
gowns constituting literature. 1t is not
until the fashion plates have become
mellowed by time that we realize their
