letter from Prof. Charles G. Maphis,
professor of secondary education at the

1T gives me pleasure to advise you
that at meeting of the Commission of
Accredited Schools of the Southern
States, appointed by the Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools of the

Vile, your school was placed upon the
Southern list of accredited schools.
which means that every institution be-
longing to the Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools. of the Southern
States will accept certificate from,
your school for college entrance.
The list as reported by the Commiss-
ion was a comparatively small one,
there being total of 1877 schools which
were admitted, eighteen of these being
from Virginia. The list, therefore, is
an honorary list. and@I am personally
gratiied to know that your school has
met the requirements

stimulate and aid the high schools to
reach higher standards OF scholarship
and better conditions for teachers and
pupils. The first object is to help the
schools and colleges of the South and
the Southern List will be an honor list
of schools for the entire section. No
higher endorsement of school could
be desired than to find place on the

The honor thus paid the Shenandoah

be more fully realized when it is known
that efficiency of instruction, acquired
habits of thought and speech, and the

Congress has taken the initial

is little doubt that favorable ac-

present session, as the sentiment
in the Senate seems favorable.
And why shouldn't we join
hands with our British cousins
to help bring about an era of
peace? Of all Grass idiocies inn
aginable, this thing of civilized

each other and themselves in the

to say nothing of the cost of

This amount if divided among

came to NogaleS from the battle line
at Moreno last night, it is definitely
learned that so far only intermittent
fighting between the advance guards
| of the two armies has taken place.
But that the big battle cannot be post
poned much longer seems certain.
General Ojeda with his main body
at Ortiz, has been daily sending out
an armored train, composed of ''gon-
dola's cars on which he has mounted
his artillery, and the outposts of the
state forces have exchanged shots
with him in several encounters, but
the main body of both armies so far
have not begun the general advance.
General Obregon was delayed for
weeks because of the lack of am
munition, and because the positions
he occupied were not favorable to his
plans of attack. For this reason he
treats, backing up from station to
station, followed from time to time
by the federals At the present posi-
ton he feels that he has succeeded
in drawing the enemy into a trap
from which there is no escape.
ojeda's One Chance.
Americans who have been over the
field and who have learned Obregon' S
plans are agreed that there is only
one chance for Ojeda to succeed and
that is for him to cut his way through
the constitutionalists' lines directly
at the front and thus divide the state
troops. This is not thought to be
very probable.
Oregon has his forces well located,
the discipline in the camp is said TO
be splendid, and the patriotism of the
men unuuestioned Added to this the
large quantities of ammunition recent
" struggled across the international
line have reached the front and the
constitutionalists are now we'll equip
ped with fighting material. The con-
dition of the federal army cannot be
learned from this side from reliable
sources.
Obreqon's Narrow Escape.
: Last Saturday, during one of the
preliminary skirmishes, three OF
Ojeda's shells exploded within ten
feet of General Obregon and Colonel
Eduaro Hay, who, with other mem
bers of the staff, were watching the
operations of the enemy from hill.
An eye witness, who saw the incident
states that the officers seemed 70
pay no attention to the shells further
than to shift their position so they
were out of sight of the enemy.
All of the women and camp follow
ers of the state army have been re-
moved to Hermosillo and the prepare
tons for active fighting are said to
be practically completed.

OVER DOGS
ENDS IN MURDER

= WICKENBURG, Ariz., June 1S.-
Quarrels over poisoned dogs and
trivial matters, extending over several
years, had a fatal termination when
ALLEN Cameron was shot and killed IN
front of the postoffice at Sayer, little
mining camp six miles east of Wick
enburg. Leonard White rs charged
with the shooting. =
According to some half dozen eye
witnesses, White walked up to Gamer
on and emptied the chambers of a
revolver into his enemy's body. Cam
eron was unarmed.
White Immediately gave hismelf u
and was held till an officer arrived
from Prescott. The officer took him
to the county Jail.
Cameron and White lived on adjoin-
ing mining claims. For several
years, it is said, they had been quar-
reling almost constantly. They &C
cused each other of poisoning their
dogs and of many other spiteful acts.
Several times they took their troubles
before a justice of the peace. 1t is
not known that they had any par
ticularly violent quarrel prior to the
tragedy.
White is about 4S years old and
Cameron is &c. Neither was ever
married.

is. S. Jones, superintendent of the
Tom Reed, brought in the big bars,
while George B. Ayers brought in the
yellow stuff from the Gold Road.
These two mines are sure to be-
come the greatest gold properties in
the southwest, and in fact on the Pa
cific Coast. So far the work has been
exploratory, and the betterments of
milling has been the outcome of ex-
perimentation carried on over a per-
iod o. several years. The present
plants of both corporations are well
pacity to care for the production of the
mines. The Gold Road company is
said to have more than twelve years
reserves, while the Tom Reed has suf-
ficient ore in sight to carry them over
three years. With a lower cost sys-
tenn both mines could extract an i'm
mense tonnage of ore from the old
slopes, which it is considered mex
pedient to remove at the present time.
Lower power cost and economics in
the distribution and handling of power,
is a necessity in the district embrac-
ing these mines, and this is sure TO
come with the wider use of the power
in that section The present power
plant could produce double the power
at present distributed, with but small
cos. for the additional generation.
There are many mines in and
around the Tom Reed and Gold Road
that will become big gold producers
