Awakened By Burglar

In the early hours Of Thursday
morning, while it was yet very dark,
Mr.. Hugo w. Miller, the assayer,
residing on Potrero Avenue, was
awakened by his wife, who had
heard someone moving about the
house. Turning on the electric light
at the head of his bed Mr.. Miller was
startled to find a stranger standing
in the hall looking into the bedroom
through the open door. The burglar
was startled also, and disappeared.
Mr. Miller grabbed his gun ard start
ed after the intruder. He thought
the man had gone to the front door
and went there himself; but he had
gone out the other door. One of the
neighbors who happened to be awake
reported that she heard him pass hel
house, and he was putting on all
speed.

Returned From Overseas

THE OASIS is in receipt OF a let
ter from Mr.. w. R. Mcdonald, of
New York, well known mining
operator who was in Sonora in
former years, working the Ramona
mine at Gabilan, and having other
interests, but has been here but once
since the revolutionary troubles be-
gan in 1910. He was here a short
time in 1917, and probably would
have taken a hand again in Sonora
had not the United States been drawn
into the big war.
Mr.. Mcdonald wrote that he had
just returned from France, where he
had been two years engaged in Y. M.
c. A. work; and that he is rich in
experiences. He expressed a hope of
returning to Sonora shortly and TAX
ing hold once more in that land of

URGES FREIGHT
CARS CONSERVED

Alarmed at the shrinkage of the
average carload, with the consequent
waste of transportation facilities, of
ficials of the United States Railroad
Administration today launched a
campaign to offset the danger of a
car shortage in the West.
General Manager j. H. Dyer of
the Southern Pacific Western Pa
ciic lines, explained the situation as
follows:
"Shippers are relaxing their efforts
to preserve the advantages of the
full carload, believing apparently
that we have a surplus of cars, and
that restoration of peace makes
heavy carloading unnecessary. This
is an erroneous and dangerous i'm
preston.
"The demands of peace will equal
if not exceed the necessities of War.
Much material, stored during the
past year or two, is now being alb
sorbed by markets as fast as it can
be moved. We are moving 100000
tons of barley out of the State. The
fruit crop is one of the heaviest in
history. We are confronted with the
prospects of an exceptionally heavy
movement of all commodities this
fall. If the wine grapes are to be
moved east, that will mean approx
mately $4,000 cars additional.
"New equipment has not been
available during the war. If ship
pers are to realize the full use OF the
cars that we have, they must con-
tinue to load ten per cent in excess
of the marked capacity of cars where
ever possible. Our figures show that
in June over 1000 cars were wasted
due to the fact that there was
falling off in loading of over two
tons per car on our lines. This
means that shippers were depriving
themselves of the use of those 2,OOO
cars. =
sT earnestly appeal to all shippers
to resume at once the full carload
which will enable us to move the war
crops, for our peace products will
exceed those of the past few years,
and the world will need them just as
badly"

10 INSURE AGAINST POVERTY
Writer Is Confident That a Practical
Scheme Will Be Worked OM
Before Many Years.

Sickness is an insurable risk and
there is no doubt that some very COM
prehensive and acceptable scheme of
insurance against it will yet be worked
out Whether, In the United States,
it will be compulsory, state-managed
scheme is by no means so certain. But
the more that subject is agitated the
faster sickness loss will be reduced,
for agitation will direct attention to
public health, and means that are
tried and proved will be more exten-
sively employed to prevent sickness.
Steady, intelligent public attention
is what the whole problem of poverty
needs. There is no doubt that a
great part of it Is preventable. The
poor it is true, we have always with
us. Time was when we had always
had slavery and smallpox with US.
Now out of half a million persons one
person dies annually of smallpox in
slavery and smallpox were generally
taken as a matter of course. As soon
as they ceased being taken as mat
ter of course they were put into the
way of practically disappearing-no
by any magic formula but by tireless,
sure-footed, practical-minded effort.
At length we have the means of re-
ducing poverty to its practical, ire
ducible minimum. 1t is only very re-
Gently, as history runs, that we have
had those means. But now we have
the wealth-not enough wealth for
limousine and a grand piano to every
inhabitant and a four-hour workday;
but enough for the essentials of decent
physical existence to every family.
We have the social and Industrial or
ganization and the body of scientific
knowledge. Poverty Is social loss
and social danger. We can take out
an insurance policy against it.-WiE

OIL ON ARIZONA RANCH

1t has long been maintained that
isolated remains of the old car

serve as an indicator or pointer to
