Death of Reverend ]. M. Mcdonnell.

Advices from Los Angeles, Cali fornia, received at Nogales early this week conveyed the intelligence of the death of Reverend J. M. Me- Connell as having occurred at that place on the twenty-ffth of Jan uary-Wednesday of last week.
 Reverend Mcconnell was rector of St. Andrews church in Nogales several years ago, and it was dur ing his ministration that the church edifce was built at the corner of Sonoita avenue and Crawford street.
 MT. Mcconnell was rector also of the Episcopal churches at Douglas and Bisbee, and built both of the church edi6ces in those places.
 It is related that the reverend gentleman was taken ill about Christmas and went to a hospital, expecting to remain there but a short time, as his ailment was not considered serious. But he con- tinued to lose strength and waste away until the end came a month later. Attending medical men said his difficulty was a de- generation of the red corpuscles in the blood.
 Deceased was about fifty years of age and native of Scotland. None of his immediate family are known to reside in America.

More Robbery.

Following closely upon the rob- bery of the home of Frank J. Duffy, Esq, mentioned in THE OASIS last week, and the office of Doctor A. A. Doherty. mentioned elsewhere this week, came the robbery of the house of Doctor H. w. Purdy, Monday evening. The thief or thieves carried away a lot of silver ware, jewelry, clothing, etc., in value reaching $250 or more.
 Mrs. Vasquez, mother of Mrs. Purdy, was awakened by the burg lar who threatened her with death should she make an outcry. It so frightened the old woman that she obeyed the admonition, and the burglar escaped with his booty, al- though he left upon the dining room table one bundle of portable property he had gathered to carry away.

Nominations in Sonora State EIsetio o

At Hermosillo on Friday of last week there was held a convention for nominations of candidates for governor and vice governor of the, state of Sonora. General Lorenzo Torres of the Yaqui river was nom- mated for the first place, and Doctor Fernando Aguilar was &C., corded the second. The election will be held in April, and the two gentlemen will be inaugurate6 September 16th. They will be elected without opposition. It is understood that after they are in- augurated General Torres, who holds command in the army. will relinquish the executive power to the vice governor, Doctor Aguilar, who will assume the duties and responsibilities of the office. Gen. eral Torres was governor of Sonora one term some twenty years or more ago. He should not be con- fused with General Luis B. Torres, the present governor of Sonora, who is also a general officer in the Mexican army, in command of the First Military Zone, embracing the states of Sonora and Sinaloa. Dur ing the administration of General Luis Torres the executive power has been yielded a great part of the time by Vice Governor Cubillas. General Lorenzo Torres is a sub ordinate commander under General Luis Torres.
 Doctor Fernando Aguilar, the nominee for vice governor, is one of the we'll known family of that name who have been prominent Tn Sonora many years. His brother, Don Victor, has been state treas- urer at least twenty years, and an- other brother, Don Francisco, has been prefect of the Hermosillo Dis- trict fully as long. Doctor Aguilar, who enjoys a handsome practice in the city of Hermosillo, has served in the state congress, and was at one time acting vice governor, and for some months he held the reins of government, giving a very satis- factory administration.

COTTON, WHEAT AND CORN.
The Experiment Station In the Yaqui
 Delta Scores Successes.

Advices from Esperanza, on the Rio Yaqui, convey the intelligence that the experimental farm Of the Richardson Construction Company, which was placed year ago under management of Mr. F. H. Mackay, a soil expert from the Department of Agriculture of the United States at Washington, has scored three distinct successes in demonstration of the adaptability of the rich and fertile soil of the delta to produc- tion in handsomely paying crops of cotton, wheat and corn, of cer- tain varieties which grow thrlftily, vigorously and proftably under the conditions there prevalent.
 Mir. Mackay has ordered his work upon practical lines such as will be followed of necessity in cultivation in the valley.
 In cotton the expert experiment. ed with some twenty varieties of seed and succeeded in establishing the adaptability and pro6tableness of two. One variety can be planted as late as the fifteenth of July, grows vigorously, produces fine staple, and is now being picked. Another variety is planted in April and May. It grows well, comes through the rainy season in July and August without damage or loss, andis picked in October and November. Samples of both varie ties had been sent to Washington for tests as to staple, fibre, quality, etc. Reports of the tests made have been received at Esperanza, and they are very satisfactory.
 Either variety yields one and one-half bales of cotton per acre, which at the average price is about $75 gold. The cost of production and marketing is about $35-leav. ing a profit of $40 per acre. That is 125% on the purchase price of the land. Where else will land return from the first years crop the purchase with an addition of 25%?
 With wheat MT. Mackay expert mented with twenty-eight varieties. Of those he was successful very eminently with two. One of them named "chull" was procured from the experiment. station of the Uni versity of California at Berkeley, which has been ten years bringing to perfection a variety of the grain suitable to the conditions of hot climate, and gave out the seed last year for the first time. It yields a plump, hard and we'll rounded berry, in large quantities from which most excellent flour is pro- duced. The variety mentioned is very profitable.
 In corn also MT. Mackay sue. ceeded in producing fine variety surpassing greatly the native corn in yield and nutritive value.
 The Richardson Constructor Co.,, has just completed at Esperanza new headgate to the Porfrio Diaz lateral, which has there its intake from the main canal. The new head is of solid concrete construc- tion with great gates of steel that will stand for years. This lateral waters the Cocorit and Bacum re- gions which have under cultivation many acres of valuable lands.
