The Alaska daily empire., 1918-12-02

The report from Unga that Judge Wickersham had carried the precinct by vote of 31 to 23 leaves the Dele gateship contest in the Territory at the present time standing as indicat- ed in the foregoing table. The pre- cincts yet to hear from in the Third and Fourth Divisions gave Wicker sham a plurality of 3 in the 1916 election, counting the Bristol Bay precincts of Choggiung, and Nusha- gak, which were excluded because of violation of the Australian ballot law. Cordova reports say it is be- lieved there was no election at Chog- giung, Nushagak or Naknek. These three precincts combined gave Wick ersham 20 plurality in 1916 on the face of the purported returns. With out them Sulzer got IF plurality in the Third and Fourth Division unre- ported precincts.

BLACK HANDLERS
IN NOGALES,
SONORA
WRITE TO OFFICIALS
AND BUSINESS MEN
Threaten Death if Recipients Do
Not Keep Silent on Gus
tom House Affairs.

Letters have been received by
Customs Inspector Ignacio
Flores of Nogales, Sonora, and
by several merchants of the
Mexican line city, signed "Order
of the Black Hand" threatening
the recipients with death if they
did not keep silent regarding
certain Irregularities of which
they are supposed to have
knowledge in connection with
the Mexican custom house on the
other side of the, line.
It is believed that the letters
are an attempt to suppress reye-
lations in connection with the al
legged plot to steal car OF, hides,
and for supposed completely in
which several custom house en-
ployes and railroad men were az
rested by the Mexican authori-
ties some weeks ago.
It appears that the entire
matter has been laid before the
federal authorities in Mexico
City, by Gen. P. Elias Gales, and
a telegram was received in No
gales, Sonora, Thursday that l
Martinez, general inspector oi
custom houses. would arrive ir
.Nogales soon to make a searsl-
ing investigation of the entire
affair.
1t is believed that advance
knowledge of this approaching
probe reached those involved
and that the Black Hand letters

WILSON DECLARES FOR
WORLD WIDE SUFFRAGE
Wants Equal Suffrage Rights
for Women as One of Re-
suits of Allied Victory.

WASHINGTON, June 13.--
President Wilson today took the
leadership Of movement for
world wide suffrage.
In a striking response. to a
memorial from the French union
for suffrage he went ION record
that equal suffrage rights for
women should be definitely es-
tablished among all nations as
the principal achievement in
winning a permanent peace.
His message was transmitted
through Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait, president of the interna-
tional women's suffrage alliance.

cURTAIL USE OF STEEL
Government May Take Entire
Supply for Period of the
l., World War.

WASHINGTON, June, 49,
The appeal of France to- the
United States for all the steel
that can be supplied will cause
even more drastic curtailment OF
the non-essential use of steel. All
the departments have been called
upon to resurvey their needs and
cut them wherever possible.
The priorities commissioners
say that the government will
probably need the entire supply
for the period of the war. This
largely explains the decision of
the war council to effect greater
pooling resources.

GALES WILL GO
AFTER YAQUlS
in OCTOBER
REBEL AMMUNITION is
SHORT; CAN'T GET MORE
Meanwhile Armored Cars and
Troops with Machine Guns
Guard All Trains.

Gen. P. Elias Gales campaign
against the bronco" bands. of
outlaw Yaquis will be resumed in
October, according to reliable in
formation received by The Oasis
from Sonora.
Meanwhile such precautions
are being taken to protect trav-
elers that there is no chance
whatever that the Yaquis will
attack any train running down
through that country.
To begin with, the Mexican
authorities have taken such pre-
cautions against the Yaquis OBJ
tanning supplies that the Indians
are running very short of ammu-
niton, and are finding it almost
an impossibility to get more.
Therefore, even when followed
and attacked, they are chary
about fighting back, as they are
conserving their scanty supply
of cartridges.
In addition, every train run
ming south of Hermosillo carries
two steel gondola cars and an az
mored car in which is mounted a
machine gun, and these cars, one
at each end and one in the mid
die of the train, are manned by
100 soldiers as military guard.
Isolated ranches and solitary
travellers are still liable to at
tack, but attacks on trains or
villages are a thing Of the past.
s At present General Gales is
in the state of Topic with a milf
|tary force engaged in wiping out
of existence the bandit bands
that have disturbed the peace
and safety of the people of that
state for some time.
When he finishes there, he is
understood to be under orders
to proceed to Michoacan to ac-
complish a similar mission there.
There is no real revolutionary
movement in either state, but a
system of banditry is what it is
desired to put stop to.
1t is believed that General
Gales will be back in the state
of Sonora in another month or at

Business is booming down

that means that Nogales will

all their business finds it's outlet

BOOM TO CITY

MANY RESIDENCES AND
BUILDINGS GOING UP
F. F. Rodriguez Draws Glow
ing Picture of Southern
| Sonora.

Prosperity is pouring from her
|cornucopia a flood of gold over
the garbanzo district of south
ern Sonora, according to F. F..
Rodriguez, who returned Wed
nesday evening from a business
trip to Navojoa and Huerta-
bampo.
The resulting growth and
progress, as pictured by Mr..
Rodriguez, are reminiscent of
boom days in many a western
state, and the conditions down
there are certain to draw much
trade and immigration in that
direction.
At Navojoa, which is 1876
kilometers south of Guaymas,
Mr.. Rodriguez says that there
are So residences now in course
of construction, and they are not
adobe structures, but large and
comfortable homes of brick,
most substantial and excellent in
architectural appearance.
! General Flores is erecting a
large machine shop in Navojoa,
which will give employment to a
considerable force of skilled me-
chanics and laborers.. Later he
expects to add to the plant a
complete foundry.
! A handsome theater and a fine
school are also being built in the
city, which has a population OF
about 5000, which is rapidly in-
creasing.
/, The old portion of the town,
which is being encroached upon
by the Mayo river, is being abal
doaed, and the new city is being
built on the higher ground above
the railroad tracks.
Navojoa is the shipping point
for the garbanzo district, which
lies to the southwest, nearer the
coast. The central city of that
district is Huertabampo, with a
population of about 5000, and
lying So miles off the rail
road at Navojoa. Fifteen rent
cars are kept busy carrying the
people back and forth between
Navojoa and Huertabampo.
The garbanzo crop is being
moyed from Huertabampo to the
railroad at Navojoa, and the
road between the two cities is an
unending procession of freight
