 track of the railway that ran along in front of the park facing the Mon- tezuma hotel, and to the interna- tional boundary behind the build- ings on the west side of the avenue, south of the park. Some years ago the Southern Pacific removed it's track, and rendered the town a lease of the strip of land it had oc- cupied, conditional upon the build ings in front being set back to cover

Yet for ordinary purposes the adobe makes a good comfortable build ing, and many of the most desir- able homes in the line city, warm and easily heated in the winter months, cool and pleasant through the summer, are of adobe, plastered inside and out.

A federal building, for the custom house, post office, i'm migration office, and other United States officials is promised in the near future, the necessary appro. priation having passed the lower branch of Congress, with every prospect that the Senate will concur in the coming session. At present the custom house and immigration office are quartered at the South ern Pacific passenger station, right at the line, and the post office is in the Marsh building, on Morley avenue. A fine municipal building is under consideration and will ma terialize during the coming year.
 There are seven hotels, viz: The Montezuma, the Brickwood, the National, the Arizona, the Santa Cruz House, the Breen House and tthe San Antonio House. There are Ia number of good restaurants. Lulley's Buffet on Morley avenue, the Lyric Grill, in the Lyric Thea Ire building and Jones' Railroad Restaurant in the passenger station being the principal and most inn portant, with regulations for the most satisfactory service. The town has two English newspapers, THE OASIS and the Border Vidette, and one published in the Spanish language, La Era Nueva In the amusement line the Lyric Theatre fills a useful place, giving every evening two cinemotrographic ex- hibitions, with matinees Sunday afternoons with occasional plays and vaudeville performances by travelling companies. The First National Bank is a sterling fin- ancial institution, solid, conserva- tive and substantial The Santa Cruz Club and Auxiliary with hand some clubrooms in the LyricTheatre building fills valuable place in the social life of the line city. Another public institution which has been of long continued benefit in building up the town, and con- tinues yet in noble usefulness, is the Nogales Building & Loan As sociation which has been the means of providing comfortable homes in the line city for many saving, in- dustrious families.
 RAILWAYS
 The Southern Pacific of Mexico extends it's lines from the interna- tional boundary down the West Coast to Topic, distance of more than one thousand miles, and con- struction of less than 200 miles of track will make connection with the interior system of railways at Guadalajara, one of the most beau tiful cities in the republic. A branch of the system extends from Nogales to Cananea, the great cop per camp of Mexico, which is about seventy-five miles distant in southeasterly direction. From Corral a junction station about three hundred miles below Nogales, another branch railway extends up the Yaqui river, opening to traffic very rich mining country.

Ordinarily, however, the stump is cleaned by an eject or which takes from the main pipe a powerful stream of water that keeps it clear at cost of two cents per day.
 The Gould pump is connected with ten-inch suction pipe elbow, which is three feet under water at all times, and as stated before, the pumping station is connected with the system in town by a ten-inch pipe line 25,000 feet length. At the plant there are two meters, one measuring the water pumped into the pipe line, the other the water pumped into the boiler. As a part of the system in town there is a
 LARGE RESERVOIR
 with holding capacity of about one million gallons, cut into the solid rock, walled on the front side and roofed over, located upon lofty hill overlooking the town on the east, supplyinga pressure which carries to the highest point on any eminence on either side of the cailon in which the town is located, the business portion being in the bottom of the cafion, and the resid- ence districts rising upon the hills on either side. In all Arizona there is not another town or city which has such an asset as is the municipal water system of the Town of Nogales. The pumping plant and pipe line were installed by the energetic and enterprising firm of Karns Brothers, contractors and dealers in pumping and irrig- ation machinery. Their work on this contract was completed in August of the present year. A
 MUNICIPAL SEWER SYSTEM
 Has been provided also for the Town of Nogales, bond issue of $50,000 to defray the cost thereof having been authorized at the same election that voted bonds for the water system. Surveys with plans and estimates have been made, and bids for construction invited. With in a very short time construction will be commenced, with every out look that the entire system will be completed and in operation before the close of the coming year. With d first class sewer system, such as the funds provided can and will sup ply, and an unlimited supply of most excellent water, Nogales will enjoy sanitary condition which taken in connection with the sal ubriety of the climate, will give the place rank as one of the healthiest Iii the country, and a most delipht-

WAITING FOR PITTsFlELD
Baseball Men Had a Tanning Bee
Here Monday Evening.

Frank VanSteinberg and Harley
Hunt, two directors of the North
Adams baseball association, held an
informal meeting with the Benning-
ton board Monday evening for the
purpose of talking over the situation.
1t was not expected, when the meet
ing was scheduled, that any definite
arrangements could be made as Ben
nington and North Adams are not in
position to so ahead until the Pit
tsfleld management can be heard
from.
Neither Of the North Adams direc-
tors could throw any additional light
on the situation in Pittsfeld. The
association in that city recently went
into bankruptcy and, so far as any
one can learn, hasn't started to come
out yet.
The North Adams directors seemed
to believe that they had made good
move in securing the services OF
Harry Crandall as manager. They
have made an arrangement with him
whereby he is to have a certain sum
with which to carry on the team
each month and pay all salaries.
While the North Adams men did
not express themselves very strong
ly in that direction it was again ap
parent that the Bennington directors
do not believe that Independent bal
can be maintained in this village
The experience OF last year, they
said showed that the public wants
the rivalry of a league and that they
are no longer interested in the worl
of travelling teams.

LA TOILETTE WILL
BEAT ROOSEVELT
IN PRIMARY
According To Reports From
North Dakota Today.
TAFT NOT IN THE RACE
Roosevelt and La Toilette the Only
Candidates In Contest In First
State Presidential Primary

Bismark, N. D., March 1s.-Sup-
porters of Theodore Roosevelt in
North Dakota admitted last night, on
the eve of the first presidential pre-
ference primary election, that Sena-
tor Robert NJ. LaFollette had aroused
enthusiasm in nearly all quarters of
the state and had rolled up much adj
ditional support within the last week.
They said, however, they believed
the strength of Col. Roosevelts name
and its close association with the ear
ly days of the state would bring vic
tory from a hard fight
"They's yelled and shouted La Fol-
lette," said one of these Roosevelt
men, wherever the senator has spok-
en-, but when they go to the polls
tomorrow and see the name 'Roose-
velt on the ballot, the old loyalty
will work its magic and they will
mark the ballot opposite the colonel's
name"
The last act of the Roosevelt man
ayers was to send out an appeal to
the afternoon papers in the state for
publication in last editions yesterday.
This was signed by Cows. Aldrich of
Nebraska, Carey of Wyoming, Stubs
OF Kansas, Bass of New Hampshire
and Hadley of Missouri The appeal
follows: "The progressives through
out the United States are looking to
you for support in the Endorsement Of
the only progressive republican who
can be nominated and elected presi-
dent of the United States-Theodore
! Roosevelt"
The La Toilette forces continued
their mass-meetings in various Sec
tions of the state yesterday and last
night, and speakers Expressed con-
fidence with greater freedom than at
any time during the campaign, II
= yesterdays weather conditions pre-
vail today, the predictions regarding
a large total vote undoubtedly will be
: fulfilled
Senator La Toilette in an address
at Minot, ~ d., yesterday, predicted
: that he would be in the White House
after March next. Senator La Fol-
lette declared that the eyes Of the
/ country were on the election to be
: held today in North Dakota, "the
first state in civilized history" as he
said, ito express its choice for a
presidential candidate by direct pri-
mary"
Mr.. La Toilette criticized President
Taft on the ground that he had pub
licly Endorsed the Aldrich currency
plan, which he declared was merely
plan to save some of the bankers
from possible danger resulting from
: the present system. He scored Col
' Roosevelt for having failed, as he
/ said, as president, to do his duty, In
5 stead of prosecuting to 10 trusts a
year" He asserted that the former
president should have compelled the
S United States district attorneys and
the Encouragement to enjoin the
trusts from forming combinations.
