Murder at Washington Camp.

At Washington Camp yester-
day morning a man named C.
Urbato was found dead in front
of a house near the mill, a long
butcher knife with which the
homicide had been committed
lying near. The knife had been
plunged into the mans chest
near the heart, and had gone
clear through his body.
The house in front of which
the murder took place is occu-
pied by the family of a man
named Garcia. Urbato, Garcia
and two others had been drink
ing, and their boisterousness
had driven the woman and chill
dren to a neighbo1's, where they
remained until morning. When
they went home the lifeless body
of Urbato was found in front of
the house. The three men had
disappeared, and the inference
is that they had fled into Mex
leo.
When the matter was report
ed at the sheriff's office, I'm
Idersheriff John Bowman and
Deputy Sheriff Henry Wood
were sent over to the camp to
investigate. The foreg ing is
the substance of whit they
learned.
Since the foregoing was set in
type statement has been made
to '"The Oasis" that the murder.
ed mans name was Trinidad
Martinez.

Registering Shipyard. Artisans.

Phoenix Ariz,, Feb. 6.-The
decks are cleared for registra-
tion of the 888 craftsmen ex-
pected from Arizona for "The
United States Shipyard Volun-
teers of the Public Service Re-
serve" Enrolment week in
Arizona begins Monday, Feb
ruary II. The men wanted are
general artisans for every kind
of work that goes into the con-.
Struction of a steel OF wooden
ship needing almost ever ysort
of mechanic or machinist. Pay
will be the going rate at the
shipyard to which the man may
be assigned. Registration does
not absolutely bind the Signer,
but indicates his willingness to
serve his country as he best may
1t is probable that he will not be
called at once and he should not
report for work till called. Most
of the shipyards are not yet
ready for more men, though
most of them thus far have
been working only one shift a
day, instead of the three hoped
for by the Government.
The national authorities ask
the artisans of the coul. tsry to
consider that ships and more
ships must be available if the
war for world liberty is to be
won. There is present short

shipping board has TIC ships on

Materials and equipment for the
ships are available. What is
needed is the service of skilled
and patriotic men to assemble
these materials into completed
ships that will bear the nations
flag on ever ysea.
Cards for registration have
been mailed by Federal State
Director Thos. J. Croaff to the
Boards of Supervisors of each
county, as well as to volunteer
registrars and secretaries of the
different trades unions to be
returned direct to him in Phoe-
nix. More than 100 inquiries
already have been received by
the Council of Defense and
there appears little doubt that
the state quota will be filled and
that early registration should
be made by every man who
wishes ITO enter this new and
well-paid field of patriotic eff

OFFICIAL STATEMENTS
AMERICAN

WASHINGTON. May 26.-GeneraI Pershing's daily communiques here' after will be issued for the press of the United States exclusively at the war department here. Copies for the papers of England, France and Italy will be given out at headquarters of the expeditionary forces, where, it is understood, they will also be available to American correspondents but only for their information.
 The communque for Saturday, de- layed in transm ssion, says:
 "Yesterday in Picardy our troops ex- ecuted successful silent raid and in. ficted on the enemy a number of losses in killed and prisoners. There is nothing else of importance to re- port:
 Following is todays statement:
 "ln the course of patrol encounters our troops drove back the enemy and inflicted number of casualties. Last night in Lorraine one of our patrols, consisting of an officer and 20 men, gained contact with an enemy patrol of about equal strength which was supplied with light machine guns and assisted by machine gun fire rom it's own lines. In the fighting which en- sued our patrol drove back the enemy killing several of them."

basis, though important as principle. does not materially affect the scale of new wages granted. For instance a man who in 1915 received s for a ten hour day would now get s4.23 for ten hours, but this s4.23 would be, considered as sS.3S for a days work (eight hours) and S5 cents for two. hours overtime. When establishments are made later, involving possibly extra rates of pay for overtime, the. full effect of the new principle will, become apparent ..
 The new board of railroad wages and working conditions is composed of J. J. Rermody, vice-president of the order of Railroad Telegraphers; G. H. Sines, board president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen; A. o. Wharton, head of the Railway Employees department of the Ameri-. can Federation of Labor; F. F. Gaines, superintendent of motive power of the Central of Georgia railway; c. E. Lindsay, maintenance of way engineer for the New York Central and W. E. Morse, general manager of the Denver & Salt Lake railroad. The latter three have resigned their positions with railroads. The board will sit in Washington, probably continuously.
 McAdoo's Statement
 Tt is my earnest hope that railroad officials and railroad employees will realize that their relations under fed eral control are not based upon the old conditions of private management. Dissensions and disappointrnents should be forgotten and all should now remember that they are not only serving their country in the opera. tion of the railroads, but that upon the character quality and loyalty of that service depends in large measure our success in this war.
 Tt is an inspiring task-this task of putting upon a more just and equitable basis the wages and work ing conditions of loyal workers in railroad service-and I confidently ex- pect the patriotic support and assist ance of every railroad official and every railroad employe in perform ance of that task with credit and honor to their country"

 MAKING MORE SHIPS

PARIS, May 26.--As proof that the allies are rapidly overcoming the sub marine menace, Georges Leygues, the minister of marine, informed the army and navy war committees of the sen ate yesterday that Great Britain and the United States alone had con- structed in April 40,000 tons more shipping than was sunk by the enemy.
 The minister declared also that the means employed to rid the seas of submarines had' become increasingly more effective since January and had given decisive results.
 As to the increasing destruction of submarines which was constant, said the minister, the figures for April were excellent, showing an increase over the preceding months, but were far surpassed by the results known to have been attained thus far in May.

buy thrift stamps and war savings stamps. we are Helping Charlie"
 Word to Farmers
 Labor is scarce. Millions of work CTS have been turned from one branch of labor into soldiers and sailors. Millions of men have been lifted out of their peace time positions and are making munitions of war.
 Next to building ships to carry the men and supplies across the Atlantic is the necessity for raising more food. To raise more food there must be more labor on the farms. Farmers above all persons realize the necessity for this labor if their crops are to be taken care of. Farmes. therefore ought to be one class which is par ticularly interested in reducing the competition of labor in the produc tion of unnecessary things.
 It follows that farmers should be unanimous ir the support of the war savings and thrift stamps and with the other folks cut out the non- es- sentials, they will be working to their own desire and will be releasing labor which can be put to work to assist them in harvesting their crops, supplying the nation with food, and making money for themselves.
