WILL ARRANGE RECEPTION
 AT SATURDAY MEETING

Final plans for the reception will not be completed until Saturday after noon at o'clock in New York. Chair man Miller has called conference of Alabama citizens for the Waldorf As- toria hotel at that hour and believes that the delegation can be advised when the yacht will leave to meet tie incoming transports and when the of ficial reception will be rendered to the returning soldiers.
 En route to New York one of the representatives of the state will be designated by Chairman Miller to stop at Washington for conference with Colonel Andrews of the war depart ment, who probably will be able to give some informa tion about the land ing of the troops and about their movements after they land. Colonel McAndrews, said Governor Miller has been very considerate in giving Ala bama information about the home coming of the regiment and has in- dicated that all possible information will be given to the delegation
 Unofficial information which is giv- en some credence is that the troops will remain in New York only a few hours. not more than A, and that they will then go to Camp Meade, outside of Baltimore, Md. where they will be held during the time of their quaran- tine, and until equipment, etc, can be checked. The general opinion is that the troops will be at Camp Meade at least six days and probably longer.

migration officials of the United

passes and temporary passports from

can be recognized no longer by the

The order reads that the action

officials explained that drunken
Americans on the Mexican side of
the border had become a downright
nuisance, and had caused a deal of

Doctor Ferguson Enjoyed
An Exciting And Novel
Experience By Flood
Sunday

Saturday and Sunday Doctor
Ray Ferguson of Patagonia had an
experience with an automobile in a
flood that was exciting, with many
incidents, all well worth relating.
In his Dodge car he was crossing
the Sonoita, at the picnic ground
stream the car stuck Mr.. Evarts of
Hayden, with his family, were camp
ing near at hand; and with his own
car and long cable that gentleman
attempted to pull out the stuck car.
They were tugging away with all the
power available when a sudden rise
in the river submerged the Dodge,
with only one corner of the top above
the surface. Of course there was no
use in trying to do anything more
until the water subsided, while be-
fore that happened it became dark,
and further operations were suspend
ed to morning.
Strange to relate the car did not
turn over, but stood erect in the
flood. 1t was stuck too tight for the
great volume of water to turn it
over.
Another strange circumstance was
the fact that the lights on the Dodge
were burning under water, when the
returning Patagonia stage passed the
place after dark. Lou Stevens and
Mr.. Baker, on the stage found that
to be the case. An expert electrician
can explain the why and wherefore
of the phenomenon, which THE
OASIS cannot.
Sunday morning the water had
subsided, and Doctor Ferguson re-
turned to the scene of the mishap,
with chain blocks and tackle, and
with the help of others, pulled out
the car. Taking for a "deadman"
the railway bridge near at hand,
they hooked to the car and pulled the
hind wheels clear. When with shovels
the sand and mud were dug away
from the front wheels, and the car
was released, taking but short
time to land it on the bank Of the
river. And the damage done the car
was very slight. In fact it' was
limited to the loss of cushion which
floated away in the flood.
