ege Of Purchasing at Price
Of Two Million Deal
Effective Soon
EXTENSION OF LINE
Is CONTEMPLATED
Leasing Company Required to Inn
prove Roadbed Shippers to
Get Better Rates as Re-
suit Of Change

A report to the effect chat the Okla
homa Central railroad had been leased
to the Santa Fe was confirmes today
by w. g, Choate. general manager OF
+ the o. C. here.
No other statement in regard to the
transaction was obtainable from Mr..
Choate, but 1t is understood that the
transfer is likely to be made In July.
Under the terms OF the lease the legs
ing company is required to improve
the Q. G. roadbed. The change will.
1t Is presumed, result in doing away
with the general offices here, but 1t is
considered probable that the q. C.
employees will be given positions with
the Santa Fe. 1t is expected that the
service on the line will be greatly Inn
proved under the new arrangement.
fne Oklahoman today printed the
following:
The Atchison, Topeka g. Santa Fe
Railroad company has secured a five
year lease on the properties of the
Oklahoma Central Railroad company,
with an option of purchase at any
time during that period II sees fit at
stipulated price OF approximately
1900, 900.
A statement setting forth the terms
Of the lease and the tentative contract
of purchase has been filed with the
corporation commission and approved
by that body. as required by law. The
lease which is given in confederation
of certain improvements the Santa Fe
Is to make On the road, Is effective i'm
mediately
Unofficially it was learned that the
lease was obtained to meet certain
business conditions and that the pur
chase would be completed within the
4 next year. 1T that time, It is said. the
Santa Fe contemplates immediate ex-
tension of the road from its southern
terminus at Lehigh on to Hugo in Ok
lahoma, and from there to Texas points
and perhaps TO Shreveport, La. If the
latter extension is made it will give
the Santa Fe direct connections with
New Orleans, which it is said the road
has been trying to make for some
time.
One of the immeulate rasults to be
derived from the lease. according to
announcement of Corporation Commits
sioner George A. Henshaw, is the es-
tablishment of one-line rate on COM
modlties handled ON either OF the
roads. On shipments now originating
on the Santa Fe system and their des-
tination being at points along the Ok
lahoma Central, or vice versa, one
line rate win be applied.
saving of from IS to s15 car, the
rate depending on the commodity ham
died, win result from the elimination
of the two-line rate.
The lease and contemplated pur-
chase of the Oklahoma Central and
the possibilities 1t offers for further
extension is one of the first direct re-
suits of the amendment to article of
section 3 of the constitution. which
was adopted at the special election IN
August. 1913.

AMERICAS FUTURE
 BRADFORD's SUBJECT

When tomorrow shall have truly come, America shall lead the world Whether she is to lead it for better ment will depend upon the place that her young people are prepared to take in that leadership" This in brief was the messag ge of pr. George H. Bradford whose lecture on Americas Future" the second number of the Y. M. C. A. lecture course, was presented at the high school auditorium last night.
 Naming those things without which no nation can be truly great pr. Brad ford spoke of natural resources, com mercial success, patriotism, and man. hood, and went on to show how Amer ica surpassed in all these. In connec- tion with manhood, he paid a high tribute to the martyred President Me kinley, whom he described as the ex- republication of Christian statesman ship.
 Dr. Bradford made a strong appeal to the young men and women to strive for college education, no matter how great the cost. The price of an edu- cation today" he said "is the desire for it. The desire pays the bill" In this connection, he described his own struggles at college, telling graphically how he started in with practically nothing and worked his way through the university.
 There never was a time since the foundation of the world when it was so easy to succeed as it is today" de- clared pr. Bradford. There never was an hour when prepared men and Wo- men were more in demand. But, young men, do not close the door of oppor- tunity with a single unguarded act, for the eyes of the business world are upon you iii moments that you know not of
 In conclusion, the lecturer spoke of the joy and reward which comes to parents from the training of children for efficient and successful living, il- frustrating his point with a number of instances from personal observation. The man who uses his genius to make better men is ten thousand times bet ter than the man who spends his life making only money" he declared. Mediterranean ruled the world.

CHAs. DAVIES PIONEER
 MINING MAN DIES HERE
Came to Salt River Valley in 1870;
 Was 78 Years Old

Charles Davies, pioneer mining an gineer of Arizona, and one of the first settlers in the Salt River valley. died yesterday morning at his home two miles north of the fair grounds at the age of 73 years. Death was due to a complication of diseases.
 Forty-five years a resident of Ari Zona. Mir. Davies took an active part in the early development of the state being engaged in the very successful development of a number of projects The first of these was the Octave mine at Congress, which proved a successful venture. Later on he an- gagged in mining at Globe and Dos CaoeZas, taking an active interest i1 that industry until some fifteen years ago.
 MT. Davies was a native ot Wales and lived in England until the age o1 21, when he removed to America. Attracted by the opportunities to be found in the west, he located in Col . ,orado, where he engaged in mining. Later he followed the same line of activity in New Mexico. He came to the Salt River valley in 1870, where for number of years he was engaged in farming. It was during his residence here that his son, w. J. Davies, the first American born in the valley, was born.
 MT. Davies is survived by his wife and seven children. five sons and two daughters, all of whom were Eere when the end came. They are:
 A. 5. and E. M. Davies, of Globe, and James A. Davies, Mrs. J. w. Reed

asked to speak before the meeting, but arrived late. In order to hear what the Yaqui leader had to say, the five met across the street the next night, in the home of Jose Encinas Here Ortiz sprung" his scheme. It was from Or tiz's talk that Padilla, at least, gleaned the idea of an uprising against the gov ernment, possibly under the guise of an armed expression of protest against the wide differences in condition be- tween the rich and the poor
 Following this meeting, Padilla En- cinas and others cOncOcted the letter to Pima chieftains, after the names had been secured from other Pimas.
 Pressed by United States Attorney T. A. Flynn for a more specific des- criptiOn of what was intended to be done. Thackery said T was informed the MeXicans and Indians were to form in two bodies, one in the Globe Miami district and the other at Buckeye. The Buckeye force was to march eastward to Phoenix and the other to cross the Finals into the Gila valley, take the hardware stores and banks in Florence and other cities and come into Phoenix. Then they were to join and loot the stores and banks in the capital. No they didn't say what was to be done after that I am sure there was no hint of any purpose to cross the border and join the revolutionary movement in Mexico"
 Ramirez, who, it seems was one of the messengers, but not necessarily i'm plicated in the plot, followed Padilla to the stand. He told of having found the letter to Johnson AZul in a box under a bed in the house occupied jointly by Joachim Eschief and himself. He car ried the letter to Thackery. The sup erintendent then sent Juan Eschief (who is not related to Joachim) and an Indian boy named Emerson, to get the other four letters! They secured them, together with two rifles, a quantity of ammunition and some sets of reloading tools

ANTI COUNTY DIVISION
 MEETS MUCH APPROVAL

George R Hill, of Globe, who is here in the interests of the Gila County Anti Division association, IS much pleased with the attitude taken by the people of Phoenix and viclni- ty in opposition to the proposed measure, and the enthusiastic sup port accorded him in the work which is being done by the Anti-Divislon association in attempting to preserve their county intact.
 Speaking of the matter, MT. Hill said:
 We have no difficulty in con- verting people to the merits of our cause. Our only work is to impress on people the necessity of voting mo- on the measure, for they feel that this is q matter solely for Glld county to decide and assume that by not voting on the measure at Ill, they are leaving it to Gila county. This is not the case for the matter has been taken out of the hands of the people of Gifa county and placed on the ballet to be voted on by the whole state Therefore we are urg- | ing everyone to be sure to vote no | cr the creation of Miami county, aS | in case they do not vote at all on the measure, it will count half I vote in favor of it.''

Then came the testimony of Super Thackery and that Of Juan Eschief, and the days grist of the eyi dence was complete. Eschiefs tes timony was merely corroborative-he told of having seen q Yaqui with the letters.
 The case proceeded with much speed
