MESSAGE.
Especial to "The., oasis")

MEXICO CITY, December 26,- In
the Chamber of Deputies (lower
house of the congress Of the republic)
today a message from the Governor
of Sonora, Adolfo de la Huerta,, tran
scribed to the executive, judicial and
executive powers Of the republic,
treating upon the Chinese problem
as presented in that State. The mes
sage was sent; also to the ministry of
foreign relations, that first hand in
formation might be received direct
ly by that department of the govern
ment, that in dealing with the ques-
ton when it comes to its negotia-
tions with the Chinese republic it may
do so with the Sonorense point of
view deeply impressed. -
The executive and judicial branch
es of the government, they know the
full measure of this message, and it
was introduced and read in the fed
eral senate antecedent to the sensa-
tional declaration of Senator Leveaga
that all treaties Of peace and amity
with China should be terminated in
order to pave the way for diplomatic
negotiations that will permit legis-
lation in Mexico prohibiting further
immigration of Chinese into this re-
public. - .
The message read says: '"Solely are
we desirous of protecting our state
from the malign influence of this
asiatic immigration, and we wish to
know that in justice and right the
government of Sonora will be- sup
ported and protected in policy that
its people have reached conclusion
is for the interest of all the country.
And we ask a policy and procedure
which will be for exclusion of an i'm
migration that is detrimental and
dangerous to our own people.
Amplyfing these declarations, Civ
ing adhesion thereto. Senators Bor-
quez, Plank, Mariana Rivas, Elias Ar
jas and all other senators are saying
that they will sustain = the PROPOSE
tion of Senator Laveaga. r".
The government. Of Sonora states
that investigation of conditions at Ma
cosari and Cananea are convincing
that there will be a rapid development
of operations in those copper produc-
ing regions, and disposition of ade-
quate federal forces for their protec-
tion is requested. ::.s-.e : = s'-. =.

Mr.. Writ G. Bowman returned from
Hcrmosillo Wednesday evening, hav-
ing gone to the Sonora capital Tues
day, and despatching his business SC
promptly that he was enabled to re-
turn the following day.
Mr.. Bowman informed a reporter
for "The Oasis" yesterday, that his
business was with the state; and he
related that he never before was Civ
en- such prompt attention, and salts
faction so close as in dealing with
Governor de la Huerta. He found
IN he new chief executive a broad
minded, liberal business man with the
dearest interests of his state at heart,
and keenly alive to any influence or
policy that will advance those inter
ests.
Realizing that to develope the la
tent resources of Sonora large invest
ments of foreign capital are neces-
sary, Governor de la Huerta is ready
to give every encouragement to such
investments; and he is ready always
to listen to any suggestions or ideas
which will serve to attract attention
of capital to the magnificent resour-
ces of his state, and to protect such
investments.
Accompanying Mr.. Bowman was a
prominent capitalist from San Fran
lisco; and that gentleman was impress
sed so favorably with the attitude and
policy declared by Governor de la Hur-
ia that he expressed determination
to make large investments on his own
account, and to recommend invest
ments in Sonora to many men of his
acquaintance who are looking for
good opportunities to employ money
profitably.

Ell CENTRO, CAL, December 26-
A million and three quarters of idle
money, mostly the proceeds of bond
issue, has been invested by Imperial
County in United States Certificates
of Indebtedness, which will net the
County $4,000 a year or $4,000 a
month as long as the money is left
in the Certificates. Owing to Cali
fornia statute providing chat no bank
shall receive public funds to an ex-
cess of fifty per cent of it's capital
and surplus, the money had been Iy-
ing idle.
Imperial Conuty's innovation will,
no doubt, be adopted by many other
counties and school districts through
out the Twelfth Federal Reserve Dis
trict which have county and district
funds lying idle because small banks
in outlying counties are unable to
receive for deposit proceeds from bond
issues. Even many Of the biggest
banks are compelled to refuse public
deposits because they have already
rearled the limit provided by law.
Treasury Certificates of Indebted
ness, the last issue being four and
one4half per cent interest running fo1
six months, December Is to June is,
are, as rule, short time paper, max
ing them particularly adaptable for
the investment of county funds await
ing expenditure.
Robert E. Smith, Director of the
War Loan Organization of the Twelf-
tn Federal Reserve District, in let
ter to County Treasurer Barton of
Imperial County, said:
"You are to be congratulated as a
county official and personally on the
businesslike manner in whcih you
have employed the idle funds of I'm
perial county, which will not only net
the county handsome return, other
witse lost, but at the same time aid
the Government in financing it's war
debt. Other counties, not only in
California but in every state of the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District
might well follow your example,"

idence the burglar had lighted the
house, and was very bold in his oper-
ations, moving about the house in
light of the burning electroliers.
1t is likely that he had held the
house under observation and saw
Judge and Mrs. O'Connor depart in
their automobile, apparently prepared
for an absence of some hours; and as
Judge O'Connor informed several that
they were going "out to the ranch
for Christmas dinner" the man may
have overheard that remark some
where, which gave him pretty accur-
ate knowledge that he would have
clear sailing at the residence until
late in the evening. Among others
to whom Judge O'Connor made that
remark was 'The Oasis" editor, right
in front of the post office, just as he
was starting, at o'clock in the after
noon. 1t is possible that the man
overheard that statement and acted
accordingly.
Mrs. c. E. Hardy, residing in the
next house to the O'Connor residence,
noticed the man moving about the
house, but, not aware of the Judges
absence, she thought it the judge him
self. Mrs. Hardy states that there was
another man with him, but the robber
lenies that.

ly an example. All these acts have
been made the ocassion of protests
