What the possibilities of agri- culture and especially fruit rais ing, in Nogales are, is most graphically shown in an exhibi tion of fruit in the window of the International Drug company. The basket contains peaches, grapes, plums, figs and cucumb- CTS as well, all of which were grown on fity-foot lot within the town limits of Nogales. J. F. Harn raised all of the fruit at his residence on North Grand avenue. Pictures of the display have been taken and will be used by the chamber of com merce in it's coming publicity campaign.
 General Manager Sweet of the Mansfield Mining & Smelling Company, the splendid proper ties of which are located near Patagonia, is visiting the camp, being accompanied by his wife and daughter. Manager Sweet says he has been receiving very favorable reports regarding the development of the mines under the able personal management of Superintendent Pearce. After visiting the mines MT. Sweet and the ladies will come to No gales for a couple of days visit. They have been to the Pacific coast, and report having had a most enjoyable time sight seeing.
 MT. John Miller, more than thirty years a resident of San Xavier, Sonora, where he owns valuable mining property, ar lived from the south last Thurs day. He made the hike through the Yaqui country to Minas Prietas, by night. From Minas Prietas he and party of Amer jeans from the Yaqui river coun- try, worked their way to the border by slow stages. A part of the way they hoofed it; the last leg of the trip was by car riage from Magdalena. With the arrival of Generals Villa and Obregon, MT. Miller says he has hopes of seeing everything strengthened out in Sonora. He says he will return south on the first train.

GEN. VILLAS PLANS.
"First Chief" May Be Provisional Pre- sident, but May Not Succeed Himself.

Washington, Aug. 25. While the president and administrat tion officials are confident that the Carranza- Villa differences will be settled without recourse to arms, details of the position as- sumed by Villa, according to of ficial reports, show that Villa plans to insist on the elimination of Carranza from permanent power in the Mexican admins tration.
 Carranza sent ObregOn, one of his three division commanders, to Sonora not only to smooth out local troubles in that state but to confer with Villa in an endeavor to bring Villa into ranza government.
 Villas position, outlined to the Washington government, contains the following two pro- posals, either of which he will accept:
 First: A conference of mill tary chiefs, one delegate to each thousand soldiers, the conven- tion to designate provisional president, who may not succeed himself, but call general cleo tion.
 Second: Carranza may be pro- viSional president but must agree not to succeed himself. Villa does not object to Carranza re- tiring and becoming a candidate at the general election.
