Dr. John R. Magruder, pioneer mining man of southern Arizona and Sonora, was a business viS- itor in Nosales a couple of days this week, on mining business. He is now making Tucson his headquarters, when not operat-' ing in Sonora.
 Mir. Howard Keener, San Ra- fael valley dry farmer, and edit or and proprietor of the Santa Cruz Pata agonian, at Patagonia, was in town a couple of days this week. Howard is a candi- date for the office of county treasurer, subject to the action of the Democratic primary, Sep tember 10. While here he cir culated his nominating petition, which had been literally signed by his friends throughout the county. Howard is capable and honest. His nomination is as- sured; so is his election.
 After having denied the re- ports to the effect that federal soldiers in Nogales, Sonora, are deserting to join the bandits in the Cerro Azul mountains, and that the bandits number one thousand, General Arpulfo Co., meg, commander of the federal forces, issued an invitation to newspaper men, here and throughout the United States, to make a tour of the state of So- nora, by special train and auto mobile, to investigate conditions there. The general says he will demonstrate the fact that peace and quiet prevail over all the state, and that full protection is affored every body. Now boys,
 fish or dig bait" Here's a. chance to see Sonora at General Gomez expense.
 Hon. Leslie c. Hardy, of the law firm of Hardy & Hardy, re- turned the forepart of the week from visit to Phoenix on legal business. Mir. Hardy is one of Arizona's brightest lawyers. As assistant attorney general of the state, he made a splendid re- cord. When he returns from the war, his friends say they are going to elect him attorney gen. eral, to succeed Hon. Wiley E. Jones, the present incumbent, who is going to be re elected this fall. In the meantime Les lies friends in Santa Cruz coun- ty, are going to nominate and elect him to the office of county attorney, whether he wants the job or not. His brother, Chas. L., who is now filling the office of county attorney, will not be a candidate for re election. Next month he will remove to Los Angeles, where he will practice law, being associated with a pro- minent attorney of that city.

Lake Michigan, but shave been kept
from the lake.
Swimming nov looms up as the
outstanding sport of the winter sea-
on, so thirteen huge tanks, seventy
feet long, are being rushed to COM
pletion to, provide fun this winter de-
MED during the summer. Plans are
being prepared for an extensive pro-
gram of indoor water games.
Although the worlds largest naval
training station fringes the shores of
Lake Michigan, the thousands of
bluejackets trained at the station were
forbidden to take a plunge in the lake,
because of a treacherous undertow
and athe fear Of epidemics. AS a re-
suit of stringent sanitary regulations,
the sailors were kept away from the
lake and few of them, although with
in a stones throw of the vast body of
water, left for duty at sea without
even seeing it.
Clarified until it sparkles, water will
be pumped from the lake into the
shining marble tanks and the swim
ming season will be or within a few
days. The unhealthy chill will be left
in the lake as the water will be
heated before it reaches the pools.

BIG GAME MAY
BE PLAYED ON
NOVEMBER 80
Post Season Game Between
Illinois and Michigan is
Looked For. :

Chicago. Nov. 25.-A p~ost-season
football game between the University
Of Illinois and the University Of Mich
lgan, the only elevens unbeaten by
any western conference rivals, may bo
played next Saturday, if a number Of
obstacles can be overcome.
Illinois alumni of Chicago started
= movement to bring about such a
eontest, although the time for COM
pleting the arrangements was consid-
cred short. Unofficial reports from
both schools stated that the athletic
authorities would not be averse' to
playing a game which would establish
IN u%ndisputed claim to the western
conference championship.
Michigan has a game scheduled
with Ohio state next Saturday. which
would prevent the ~post-season contest
IN that date. but Illinois representa-
tives say they. hope to induce the
Buckeye Athletic authorities to can
Gel it. If Ohio should be willing to
forego its scheduled contest with
Michigan, consent of the military au-
thorities at Illinois and Michigan
would be necessary.
In case it is found impossible to ar
range a game for next Saturday, the
promoters say December Z may be
available. Illinois closed its regular
schedule last Saturday but it is said

design. They present a 25-yard
straight away with proportionate
width. Depth varies so the smallest
yeomen may safely stand at one end,
while the biggest blacksmith can't
reach the tiles on the deep side.
The ""gobs" r not allowed to
learn under their own crude methods.
Far from it. With half a dozen of
the greatest speed swimmers in
America wearing a uniform at the
camp, the beginners gather their in
structions from record breakers, dis
lance stars. sprinters. professionals,
etc. Harry Hazlebunst, a coach Of
the Hamilton club, Chicago, during
his civilian days, is instructor in
charge.
Harry McGillivray, who churned up
a score or more new national marks
during the summer; Buddy Wallen,
another Chicago star: Dave Jones, a
Detroit water wizard; Clarke Leach
and Jack Searle, sprinters, are among
the other instructors at the station.
With the announcement that Great
Lakes is to become ever greater after
the war than it has during the past
year, the swimming program will be
carried out to the last "gob."

OYSTERS DEAD
Hard Hit to Cumberland County

There is a good reason for high-priced
oysters this year with the major por-
ton of all the bivalve planters expect
ed to market from Maurice River Cove
this year, dead-a total loss.
A long time oysterman discussed the
situation with a Times representative
last Saturday. He said that he placed
thirty deck-loads of plants on a ground
three years ago with q possible expecta-
ton of getting 10000 baskets of market
able oysters this year, and under tea
year average conditions, $1,000 baskets
might have been reasonably expected.
Instead, the ground was cleaned up
with ten days dredging and a catch of
5000 baskets. He stated that on other
grounds conditions are the same. The
severe weather last winter weakened
the oysters, and a long northeastern last
spring finished them up.
The big jump In expenses is illustrat-
ed by the story of one Captain with a
crew of eight men. The cook is paid
$125 per month, and the balance of the
crew 500 each. For the month of Sep
tember the grub bill averaged ST. a day,
per man, so that the total cost per man
including board, is $25 to $50 per month
above the wages named. The expense
is three times that of twenty years ago,
and has doubled in two years. A lead
ing shipper says that the demand for
oysters 10 September was far beyond
the supply.
None of the shippers are able to fully
fill their orders and transportation diff
ficulties are almost insurmountable.
Scowmen are asking and some are re-
ceiving $40 to $45 a week.-EL mer
