at is easy to tear down, but diff
cult to build up" said Mr.. Record, in
referring to the Civil Service feature
of the bill. He stated that this had
been a subject of debate for some
time, and if any man could propose
anything better he would join hands
with them. He explained the regis
tration feature, and what it would
accomplish. He said that this
feature had been taken bod
lily out of the present law
of New York State, which had check
fraudulent votes there.
In speaking OF the frauds he told
how easy, under the present law, 1t
was for a man to come over from
New York, and walk to the polls and
swear In his vote. He said this
would be absolutely impossible I'M
der the provisions of the Geran bill,
as the rights OF every voter would
have ample protection. He exhibit
ed a sample ballot, which was hardly
one-half the size of that displayed by
the opponents of the bill.
Mr.. Record told how much it cost
at present for a candidate to get the
ballots before the people, and he adj
vocated the combining of the ballot
to the polling place, as 1t meant the
chances of bribery were practically
eliminated. He said that the blan-
ket ballot had been in use for TWEEN
ty-fve years In more than forty
states, and 1t vas therefore, no ex-
pertinent. "Mr. Griggs says 1t de-
stroys parties" said he. 81 tell you
the parties of New Jersey are crum-
bling under our very eyes because
of the frauds of those In charge"
He declared that the bill was drawn
by the friends of real progress, that
it was workable and not complicated,
and that 1t would make for the gem
eral freedom from corruptionr-As
he finished he was greeted With pro
Ilonged applause. 1t was evident hts
sneeeh had made a good mprassion.

OUTfUuLO
DOG Is SHUT
PatroIman Andrew Jensen
Hero Several Are Bitten

After biting at least two people and
four dogs a large black Irish setter dog
supposed to havebeen mad was shot this
morning with a shot gun by Patrolman
Andrew Jensen. Last night the dog
bit a man on the hip and shortly af-
ter nine O'Clock this morning he bit
Margaret Frye, of SAG Hartford street,
on the right leg near the ankle.
Patrolman Jensen called City Physi-
clan Meinzer to administer treatment
and borrowing a shot gun from Charles
Baumlin, of Hartford street, went out
to look for the animal. After about
half an hours search the canine was
located by the officer and killed. Frank
Magyar had attempted to shoot the
animal before the officers approach,
firing several shots from a weapon,
but was unsuccessful. Among the dogs
bitten by the setter was a valuable
animal owned by Ralph A. Bulls, Of
Hartford street.
The setter had been on a rampage
around Hartford and High streets and
Buckingham avenue since yesterday.
He attacked a fireman of a Lehigh Val
ley engine, who happened to be on the
ground at the time. >The fireman then
sought refuge in his cab. The dog
just missed him and grabbing the step
of the engine with his teeth held on
for some time. When about to be shot
by Patrolman Jensen the dog made a
dash for the officer and would have
bitten him, but for the gun.

hrmed that it would not injure an
honest Republican or Democratic or
ganization. 1T will destroy the no
nopoly the political organizations
have enjoyed in the realm Of poll
tics, but who will object to that" he
queried. AS he closed he was greet
ed with prolonged applause.
John j. Trancy, Of Jersey City,
gave a splendid exposition of the
technical features of the bill, and ex-
planned it's provisions in detail, in a
comprehensive manner. He spoke
of the amendment in the hands of
Senator Fielder, of Hudson, whereby
the il%llterate voter might be assisted
by two Of the election officers, both
of whom would be sworn to secrecy.
He said it would put a stop to cor
ruption and bribery at the polls.
George l.. Record Speaks.
George i. Record, of Jersey City,
delivered the best speech of the hear
ing. He stated he had made a study
Of election laws for twenty years,
and he felt competent to discuss the
GeTan bill, as a result. He paid his
1 CDPCtlo ~ bOAh W. Hll6Sos NO ildu
been announced to appear in opposi-
ton to the bill, but who had at the
last moment sent a letter to the COM
mittee on elections explaining his
position relative to the and
citing his reasons for opening 1t, one
OF the principal ones being its uncon-
stitutfonality.
Mr., Record riddled the assertion
relative to the unconstitutionaIity of
the Geran bill, or any other election
bill that might be passed and said
that the Supreme court Of the State
Of New Jersey had decided that the
Legislature could go as far as it
pleased in regulating the Internal af-
fairs of political parties. Mr.. Rec
ord expressed surprise that a man Of
the learning and legal knowledge of
Mr.. Griggs should express any ideas
similar to those embodied in his let
ter to the committee. He remarked
that the party which neglected to
take any action in the interest of
purer elections was defeated at the
polls last fall.
Mr.. Record declared that the &C.
ran bill was a simple proposition and
there was no question as to how It
would work out. He told of a pri-
mary election in Hudson county
when delegates to the national CON
vention were selected. and how the
ballot boxes were stuffed in the bold
est kind Of a manner. He said there
was need for legislation that would
safeguard the rights of the people,
and it was the aim of the Geran bill
to do this, and effectually.

Last year eight men and sixteen horses were twenty-three days in blowing and seeding the same tract.

Will Build a Wagon Road.

From MT. W. E. Pomeroy, gen. eral manager at Nina Mexico, be- yond the Yaqui river, near So- yopa, who was at Nogales Wednes- day morning, THE OASIS learned that surveys have been completed for good wagon road, suitable for running autotrueks, from Tonichi to the camp, and that construction will begin soon as the rainy season is over. The construction of this road and installation of a line of autotrucks has been found neces- sary not only as a matter of economy, but in order to make sure of keeping the reduction plant in operation continually. There are consumed at the plant about 73 tons of coke every day, and fourteen cords of wood, and there are taken into the camp about one ton of merchandise daily. From the camp the daily shipments of matte are about 7! tons daily. All that is carried on the backs of pack animals, a distance of about thirty miles. To negotiate the business requires a train of 800 pack mules, a number which is not available at all times. The surveys made show that such a road is feasible, and that one can be built which will present grade not exceeding 8fo at the steepest part.
 During the past two months there have been shipped eleven cars of matte, and there are on hand some three carloads more which will be brought out as quickly as possible; but on account of the. heavy trails, due to the rains, good headway cannot be made. For that reason the reduction plant has been shut down until after the rainy season terminates, but de- velopment in the mine is pushing as usual.

ELcIN REGION SETTLING UP.
Many Homeseekers Finding Good Lo- cations in Northeastern Part of
 Santa Cruz County.

Friday evening of last week No- gales was visited by a couple of gentlemen from the Elgin region, over in the northeast corner of Santa Cruz county on the line of the New Mexico < Arizona Rail- way, about half way between No gales and Benson, Messrs. s. M. Wills and Mansfield L. Mowrey. MT. Wills is an old timer in South ern Arizona, but Mir. Mowrey is a newcomer in the country, having come recently from the Pecos river in Texas, with a view to locating. The object of his visit to Nogales was to make acknowledgment of his application to make a home- stead filling upon a quarter sec ton of fine land, which he did be- fore the clerk of the district court, the two gentlemen returning home Saturday morning.
 From the gentlemen named THE OASIS learned that there are many looking for land locations in that region, and that the great mesa there lying between the Huachuca and Santa Cruz mountains, with the Mustang mountains on the north, is filling rapidly, and will be occupied entirely by actual set tiers within few months. It is estimated that there are about 2O,- 900 acres of available land, very fertile naturally, and susceptible of a high state of cultivation under the new system of dry farming.
 Those who are settled there have formed an organization to aid homeseekers in finding good and available locations. As there are no hotels they arrange among themselves to care for visitors and show them about the country, pointing out unappropriated quar- ter sections, etc., for which service a reasonable charge is made. The service given is a great convenience to those seeking locations, and is also public benefit. Appropria- tion and successful cultivation of 10000 acres mentioned would add to the population of Santa Cruz county about 250 families and a great deal of taxable property. May every success go with the movement. Santa Cruz county will be benefited.
