of closer and more friendly rela-

Washington, d. C.-Senator Ashurst,
backed by several other Western SEN
ators. has urged President Wilson to
begin negotiations with the Mexican
government with view of purchasing
a strip of land across northern Mexico
and the peninsula of southern Califor.
mia. The latter would include Mag
dalena bay, declared by experts to be
the most valuable spot on the Pacific
coast for a naval base.
The plan proposed by the Arizona
senator is in line with one of the
treaties negotiated by the late James
Gadsden, but which was not sent to
the senate by President Pierce. I'm
der that treaty Mexico agreed to sell
the United States all the territory
lying north of the thirty-first parallel
and the peninsula of Lower California
This territory. it was pointed out

There was a big stand of Qubernatorial timber in Tucson thls week. The Masonic con- claYe was responsible for the gathering of the embryo-states- men whose friends are urging them to the sacrifice. The Demo- cracy was represented by the Honorable George Olney of Phoe- nix and Stafford. who has set about the task of breaking up the Hunt machine. While there was a sinlge representative of Demo. cracy, there was no dearth Of Republican candidates. First to appear upon the scene was Hon. orable Harry Heap of Prescott whose boom was launched the other day. While MT. Heap would like to get the nomination for governor he would accept the portfolio of treasurer of Yavapai county. Then came the Honor able Henry Morgan. not an avow- ed candidate but frequently men tioned for the nomination. MT. Morgan is from Wilcox in "dear old Cochise" which boasts of a Democratic majority of 1500 which MT. Morgan IS expected to turn to Republican majority. And last but not least. came Tom Campbell out of the sage brush at Las Guijas. When MT. Camp bell strode into the Santa Rita hotel lobby. the other asplrants had to run for cover. When it came to the glad hand stunt he simply put Henry Ashurst in the down and out club" If the ability to get votes counts. Mir. Campbell will be the Republican nominee and Governor Hunt will have the fight in November.
 A movement for E. S. Clark for Republican nomination for governor has been launched in Phoenix. Mir. Clark who is a Prescott lawyer, was a delegate to the Progressive National con- Yention but is now said to be back in the Republican fold.

Fatal Railroad Accident

The boiler of Santa Fe engine No. 959 exploded last Friday afternoon two miles west of Manuelito, N. M., on the AL buquerque division, killing three men. all members of the train crew. The dead are:
 L. O. Snogren, engineer. Wins low, Arizona.
 J. c. ChiIds, fireman, Wins low.
 Bert Higgins. brakeman, Wins low.
 The engine was pulling a freight train east from Winslow. The men intended to attend the St. Patrick's ball given at Gallup that night by the Brotherhood of Railway Tainmen. The explos- ion occurred at Sunhower hill. The train was running at tWen- ty miles an hour.
 The three men were evidently killed outright. The bodies of Snogren and Higgins were found Tn pool of water along dis tance from the track T6ey had been blown there by the <|ettine loose of the steam. THe body of the fireman was pinned under the engine trucks.
 The watches of two of the dead men fixed the time of the acci- dent. All had stopped at ap- proximately 4:10 o'clock. There was only a few seconds difference between the timepieces.
 The engine is a complete wreck. The cab. tank and boil CT were shattered.
 The cause of the explosion could not be ascertained. An in- vestigation may reveal the cause but 1t is possible that it may never be known. The fact that all the witness are dead and the engine shattered indicate this possibility.
 Snogren had but recently been promoted to the rank of enGi- neer. He was on an extra rud at the time he met dea fh. child1 was married and is SUI iViVed bF a widow and child. Snogren and Higgins were unmarried.
