illegal Wood Cutting.

Last week Forest Ranger Albert J. Abbott and Immigrant Inspector J. T. Brickwood Jr.. while riding out on the Coronado national forest, found where wood had been cut. contrary to the law, and fol-
 lowing the tracks of the wagon on which the wood had been loaded they were led to the ranch house of Damasio Bejerano, where stood the wagon, loaded with wood, the vehicle being the property of Bejerano. The following day a young man, named Miguel Cruz, who is said to be working for Bejerano, brought the wagon into town and sold the wood. The suc- eeedlng day Forest Ranger Abbott, accompanied by the supervisor of the Coronado forest, Mir. R. J. Sell Kirk of Tucson, went out upon the forest reserve, and at about the same place Cruz was found with the same team and wagon, cutting wood. They stopped him, and in formed him that 1t was illegal to cut wood on the forest reserve without permit, and they made nm leave the reserve. Coming to Nogales Mir. Abbott swore out a warrant for the arrest of Cruz for violation of the U. s. law and regu. Iauons of the agricultural depart. ment with regard to cutting timber

SONORA SETTINGS.
Shaken Out Here and There in the
 Great State Across the line.

The news from Sonora now with regard to the Vaquis is very alarm ing, and they are reported to have arisen in arms with the intention of enforcing the demands they have made heretofore for possession of the entire Yaqui delta. They are charged with the attacks made on Southern Pacific trains this week
 THE OASIS is pleased to note that information received from Esper- anza in the Yaqui delta, conveys the intelligence that after thorough investigation Messrs. Jones and shelton have been exonerated by the Mexican authorities from all complicity in the shipment of mu- nitions of war discovered recently as having been consigned to them by unknown parties. and shipped in their name; and they have been released from custody.
 At the Creston de Cobre mines, located about thirty miles west ward of Hermosillo, the Mexico Mining, Refining & Exploration Company. operating the same, has installed recently some new and efficient machinery which facilitates greatly the work of development and its operation advances rapidly the net value of the property. The new instalment embraces a 90 h. D. Ingersoll. Rand drilling machine, (air compressor) with five drills; and there is in course of insta!la- ton a 50-ton concentrating plant, which will be in operation within a few weeks. The main shaft has been sunk to depth of 800 feet, and from the 300 foot level there are twenty.seven feet of good ore, the last tests of which went 39oz. in silver and $6 in gold per ton, which will yield a high grade concentrate Shipping concentrates will become regular feature of operation as soon as the new mill is in working order The property is considered one of the best in Sonora, and its place as a permanent and profit able producer is assured.

Winsiow VIII Have Moqul Snake Dance.
[Winslow Mail.l

[Winslow MaiLl
 Have you ever seen the Moqui Indians Snake Dance? Proba bly, you have heard of it, etc., but you will be able to see it, realistic in every detail, the coming month of August at the Frontier celebration right here in Winslow.
 Ever since the Pioneer celebra- tion last year the promoters of the last year affair have been negotiat- ing with the Indian authorities and the Indians to have their religious ceremony in Winslow at the celebration and after a years persuading and inducing the In- dians finally agreed that they would have their regular Snake Dance here in Winslow instead of at the reservation. There were many Indians here at our last celebration and the treatment they received at the hands of the com mittees and judges, and the many cash prizes they carried off was one big inducement for them to come and help us celebrate this year and also have their famous snake dance which was never shown anywhere off the reservation.
 People from all parts of the world have come here year after year and made the long journey of about 100 miles from Winslow to the reservation where these dances were being held, in wagon, over land, There is no question in our minds, that if Winslow will have this dance at the celebration this year that the railroad company will offer cheap rates, hundreds of people from distant cities will visit here and Winslow will be advertised all over the country. From now on every Winslow citizen who has the good of the town at heart should get busy and boost with all his might and we will have celebration such as Arizona has never seen before.
 A meeting of the citizens will be called in the near future and

black and the specialized cobra from
India. the latter named because be-
hind the head is a mark not unlike a
pair OF spectacles, which plainly show
when the hood is expanded: their
cousins, the king cobra from Malay;
the Sumatra cobra, and the black
mamba from Africa.
The bite of a cobra brings death
in from eight TO twenty minutes" said
Mr.. Ditmars. Unlike the others Of
the snake family which strike and
jump away. the cobra bites and holds
fangs. Some idea of their deadly
work can be gathered from India.
where they kill each year from 1000
to $4,000 persons"
Statistics just gathered show that
22.ftS deaths occurred in India from
snake bites last year. The deaths
caused by them in the province of
Burma amounted to 1878. Only thir-
~ were killed by wild animals. The
number of cattle killed in India in
beasts and 10000 by snakes. OF the
deaths OF cattle in Burma, 1851 were
by wild animals and 6,5SS by snakes.
Rewards amounting to S47,725 were
paid by the Government for the de-
structiOn in India of 1,104 snakes.
The men at the zoo have little diff
ficulty in handling the cObras. but
even in opening their cages they are
ever on the alert. Mr.. Ditmars has
made the discovery that the cobra is
deathly afraid of either a broom or
shovel. and these are used to sub
due them.
The fer de lance. another poison
bearer, came from Martinique. 1t is
six foot of death and replaces the
other fer de lance which died some
time ago. It's poison has medicinal
properties. and il is gathered by al

The latter is first cousin to the In

Wilson for President.

There seems to be no doubt that in
the recent election in New Jersey the
Democratic legislative ticket was
knitted in order to discredit Governor
Wilson's administration. AS proof of
this, the Governors friends point to
the fact that fifteen out of seventeen
were elected. They insist that they
have proof that votes for Republican
Assembly candidates were delivered
in trade for ballots for Democratic
shrieValty candidates. 1t is evident
that Governor Wilson's position as a
national leader will not be changed by
the fact that his enemies in his own
party failed in loyalty to the Demo-
cratic nominees. However that may
be, those who feel that the result in
Jersey was in any way q setback for
Woodrow Wilson will doubtless read
with a different Interpretation the re-
turns from other States. The blows
given to boss rule, the impotence of
appeals to partisan loyalty, and the
remarkable increase in the Socialist
vote furnish highly significant mani
festatiOns of the state of political feel

the political situation who does not
cannot expect to win next November
with any other than a progressive and

The man who weighs the qualities of
all the candidates is apt to come back
to a consideration of Woodrow Wilson

gram. He is an intensely practical
idealist, too, with record of perform
ance and accomplishment that makes
