beds and the replenishment of roll
ing stock is concerned
This is largely due to wantou and
reckless legislation and the activities
of unwise railroad commissions.
Their work has intimidated the
investor and prompted railroad
authorities into an ultra conservative
attitude.
There is no intention to give the
railroads more than their just dues
We cannot do without them, but
more than that they must also be
prosperous in order to render good
service and prompt them to make ex-
tensions and Improvements.
1t also follows that if the railroad
facilities of the country do not keep
pace with the increased commerce a
severe car shortage may be experience
ed next year. This will be detri-
mental not only to the shipper who
cannot send his products to their des-
tination, but also to the producer,
which finally means the working man
whose labor must find a market.
am firm believer in the regula-
tion of the railroads, in order that
the service they render to the public
may be adequate and rendered at a
reasonable cost. But / am unalter-
ably opposd to inlmical legislation,
enacted merely to satisfy an unreason-
able political tendency or to ornament
the toga of demagogues and political
mountebankS.
There must be reason and common
sense in everything and while we
want the railroads to do what is fair,
we must at the same time stand
ready ourselves to do what is fair"

storm dropped a bolt of lightning
which instantly killed James Melroy,
a farmer living just over the Nebras-

the clouds coming up and had sent
one of the sons out to help his father
in with the teams and the lad had
reached within about hundred feet
of his father when the lightning did
its fatal work. The bolt struck Mr.

to defend their town at all hazards.
More Arms Wanted.
The people living in the Sonora river
valley want more arms and ammuni-
ton There are at present more vol
unteerS than can be supplied with the
necessary equipment. The state gov
eminent has been requested to send
arms and ammunition, but on account
of the interrupted train service and
cut telegraph wires no word can be
sent into HermOsiIlO. The people in
the Sonora. river valley have suffered
untold depredations at the hands of
the insurrectos and also from bandit
bands which operated along the river
earlier in the year. The people have
become desperate and will not submit
to more losses and having their crops
ruined and business destroyed. They
have met upon several occasions and
organized home guards and will defend
their property TO the end. a small
shipment of ammunition and guns has
been received in Cananea during the
past day or two and this will be sent
to the river people.
During the past few days many refu-
gees from the river district, mostly
women and children, have arrived in
Cananea, some of them already having

Cananea, Son, Mex, Aug. S1.-Many
refugees from the Sonora river towns
have been arriving in Cananea for the

leave on account of financial reasons,
being forced to stay in Cananea. The
latter are now camped in tents on the
