Douglas, Ariz., July 8.—Dr. L. B.
Ricketts, president of the Cananea
Consolidated Copper company's rail-
road, which is to be constructed
across northern Mexico with connec-
tions with Douglas at Agua Prieta, ar-
rived here yesterday from Cananea
and for the first time since the an-
nouncement that the transportation
line was to be built, talked for publi-
cation.
He said: “Wo are already at work
on the road. The work will be rushed
and no stone will be left unturned to
have tlie railroad In oporation as soon
as possible. Just liow long it will be
before the road is completed I can-
not at this time state.

like commenting on at the present
time. I realize that much interest has
centered in our operations, but am of
the opinion that It is not up to me to
make any further statement to the
public until 1 realty have something
worth while to state.’’
Dr. Ricketts left last night, after
spending a busy day in the city. Ho
intimated to those with whom he
talked that it would only be a matter
of a few more days nntii the work
of throwing dirt began at Agua Prieta.
All Douglas is apparently awaiting for
this to happen, it is believed that at
least 300 men will be employed on the
construction of the railroad at this

tempted to ford Ihe Gila at the point
above mentioned, hut the great volume
of flood waters coming down swept
the first four horses of the team off

ly that all efforts to rescue them were

great exertion and quick work that
the driver saved the remainder of the

San Francisco, July 8.—An extradi-

heard today before united States Com-

Mosys Do Amaral, arrested on a
state department warrant at the in-
statue of the Portuguese minister at
Washington, was accused of murder
committed on one of the Azores isl

country, was tried and con vie tod, a
man appointed by the Portuguese
court representing him at the trial.
Recently he was captured at San
Unis Obispo, California, and is resist-

His case is the first to arise under
the new extradition treaty with Portu-

sane from an old Injury, Gustav Krattz

COTTON BELT IMPROVEMENTS.
Special to The Times.
Austin, Texas, July 8.—Cotton Belt
officials, before the railroad commis-
sion, discussed some extensive pro-*
posed improvements to be made of
that company’s property in Texas.
General Attorney Perkins and Vice-
President and General Manager Max-
well were in conference some time
ago. The commission issued an order
requiring the Cotton Belt to Improve
Its equipment and make other im-
provements, but it is now said that
the proposed Improvements mean the
expenditure of much more mono
than contemplated in the commis-
sion’s orders.

To-day’s Best Stories.
40 wolves, and 40 times a wolf was
killed; so that at last they all lay
dead in a heap before the Woodman.
Then he pul down his ax and sat
beside the Scarecrow, who said:
“It was a good light, friend.”
They waited until Dorothy awoke
the next morning. The little girl was
quite frightened when she saw the
great pile of shaggy wolves, but- the
Tin Woodman trrtd her all. She
thanked him for saving them and sat
down to breakfast, after which they
started again upon their journey.
Now this same morning the Wicked
Witch came to the door of her castle
and looked out with her one eye that
could see afar off. She saw all her
wolves lying dead, and the stranger*
still traveling through her country.
This made her angrier than before,
and she blew her silver whistle twice.
Straightway a great flock of wild
crows came flying toward her, enough
to darken the sky. And the Wicked
Witch said to the King Crow:
“Fly at once to the strangers: peck
j out their1 eyes and tear them to
pieces.”
The wild crows flew In one great
flock toward Dorothy and her com-
panions. When the little girl saw them
coming she watt afraid. Birt the Scare-
crow said: .
“This is my battle; so lie down be-'
side me and you will not be harmed.”
So they all lay upon the ground ex-
cept the Scarecrow, and ho stood up
and stretched out hlH arms. And when
the crows saw him they were fright-
ened, as these birds always are by
scarecrows, and did not dare to come
any nearer. But the King Crow said:
“It is only a stuffed tnan. I will
peck his eyes out."
The King Crow flow at the Scare-
crow, who caught It by the head and
twisted Its neck until It died. And
then another crow flew at him, and
the Scurecrow twisted Its nock also.
There were 40 crows and 40 times
the Scarecrow twisted a neck, until at
last all were lying dead beside him.
Then he called to Ills companions to
rise, and again they went upon their
Journey.
When the Wicked Witch looked out
again und saw all her crows lying In
a heap, she got Into a terrible rage,
and blew three times upon her silver
whistle.
Forthwith there was heard a great
buzzing In the air, and a swarm of
black bees came flying towards her.
“Go to the strangers and sting them
to death!" commanded the Witch, and
the bees turned and flew rapidly until
they came (o where Dorothy and her
friends wore walking. Hut the Wood-
man had seen them coming and the
Scarecrow had decided what to do.
"Take out my straw and scatter It
over the little girl and the dog and the
lion,” he said to the Woodman, “and
the bees cannot sting them.” This thej
Woodman did, and as Dorothy layj
close beside the Lion and held Toto|
in her arms, the straw covered them
entirely.
The bees came and found no onei
but the Woodman to sting, so they'flew
at him and broke off all their stings
against the tin, without hurting the
Woodman at all. And as bees cannot
live when their stings are broken that
was the end of the black bees, and
they lay scattered thick about the
Woodman, like little heaps of fine
coal.
Then Dorothy and the Lion got up,
and the girl helped the Tin Woodman
put the straw back into the Scare-
crow again, until he was as good as
ever. So they started upon their Jour-
ney once more.
The Wicked Witch was so angry
, when she saw her black bees la little
“ ’ heaps like fine coal that she stamped
T > her foot and tore her hair and gnashed
J her teeth. And then she called a

tures more than three times. Twice
already the Wicked Witch had used
the charm of the cap. Once was when
she had made the Wlnltii s her slaves,
and set herself to rule over their coun-
try. The Winged Monkeys; had helped
her do this. The second time was
when she had fought against the Great
Oz himself, and driven him out of the
land of the West. The Winged Mon-
keys had also helped her in doing this.
Only once more could she use this
golden cap, for which reason she did
not like to do so until all her other
powers were exhaii3tod. Hut now that
her fierce wolves and h r wild crows
and her stinging bbes ♦ ere gone, and
her slaves had been si a red away by
any way. Then they lifted him up
i and flew away with him to the Witch's
| castle, where he was placed In a small
' yard with a high Iron fence around It,
I so that he could not escape.
I But Dorothy they dtd not harm at
! all. She stood, with Toto in her arms,
watching the sad fate of her comrades
and thinking It would soon be her
turn. The leader of the Winged Mon-
i keys flew up to her. his long, hairy
! arms stretched out and his ugly face ,
• grinning terribly; but he saw the ;
; mark of the Good Witch's kiss upon !
her forehead and stopped short, mo- i
j Honing the others not tn touch her.
“We dare not harm this ltttlo girl," !
. he said to them, “for she Is protected j

j greater than the Power of Evil. All !
I we can do Is to carry her to the castle 1
of the Wicked Witch and leave her

So, carefully and gently, they lifted j
Dorothy tn their arms and carried her
swiftly through the air until t^ev
c&rae to the castle, where they set Iter
down upon’the front door step. Then
the leader said to the Witch:
“We have obeyed you as far as we
were able. The Tin Woodman and the
8carecrow are destroyed, and the Lion
Is tied tip in your yard. The little girl
we dare not harm, nor the dog she
carries In her arms. Your power over
our band Is now ended, and you will
never see us again,”
Then all the Winged Monkeys, with
much laughing and chattering and
noise, flew Into the air and were soon
out of sight.

prised and worried when she saw the

The other day an Ingenusus-loeklng per-
son called upon a woman with the mes-j
sage that her husband had sent him fori
his dress suit, which was tc be renovated'
by the tailor. i
”l»9ar me," said the housewife, “he

"And bo seemed quite aa If he knew

dozen of her slaves, who were the
Winkles, and gave them sharp spears,
telling them to go to the strangers and
destroy them.
The Winkles were not a brave peo-
ple, but they had to do as they were
told; so they marched away until they
came near to Dorothy. Then the Lion
gave a great roar and sprang toward
them, and the poor Winkles were so
frightened that they ran back as fast
as they could.
When they returned to the castle
the Wicked Witch beat them well witTT
a strap, and sent them back to their
work, after which she sat down to
think what she should do next. She
could not understand how all her

the Cowardly Lion, (die saw there was
only one way left to destroy Dorothy
and her friends.
So the Wicked Witch took the gold-
en cap from her cupboard and placed
it upon her head. Then she stood
upon her left foot and said, slowly:
"Ep-pe, pep-pe, kak-ko!”
Next she stood upon her right foot
and Bald:
"Htl-lo, hol-lo, hel lo!"
After this she stood upon both feet
and cried In a loud voice:
"7dz-zy, znz-zy, zik!”
Now the charm began to work. The
sky was darkened, and ft low rum-
bling souud was heard in the air.
There was a rushing of many wings;
a great chattering ami laughing: and
the sun came out of the dark Bky to
show the Wicked Witch surrounded
by a crowd of monkeys, each with a
pair of Immense and powerful wings
on his shoulders.
One, much bigger than the others,
seemed to be thetr leader, He flew
close to the Witch nnri said:
"You have called us forthe third and
last time. What do you command?”
"Go to the strangers who are with-
in my land and destroyt them all ex-
cept the Lion," said the Wicked Witch.
"Brinp that beast to me. for 1 have a
ntlnd to harness him like a horse and
make him work."
“Your commands shall be obeyed,"
said the leader; and then, with a
great deal of chatteriug and noise, the.
Winged Monkeys flew away to the
place where Dorothy and her friends
were walking.
Some of the monkeys seized the Tin
"Woodman and carried him through
Ihe air until they were over a country
thickly covered with sharp rocks.
Here they dropped the poor Wood-
man, who fell a great distance to the
rooks, where he lay so battered and
dented that he could neither move nor
groan.
Others of the monkeys caught the
Scarecrow, and with their long fln-
*
do not, I will make an end of you, as | J
I did of the Tin Woodman and tha *
Scarecrow."
Dorothy followed her through many
of the beautiful rooms In her castle
until they came to the kitchen, where
the Witch bade her clean the pots and
kettles and sweep the floor and keep
the lire fed with wood.
Doorothy went to work meekly,
with her mind made up to work as
hard as she could; for she wus glad
the Wicked Witch had decided not to | J
kill her.
With Dorothy hard at work tho
Witch thought she would go into the
courtyard and harness the Cowardly
Lion like a horse; It would amuse her,
i he was sure, to make hltu draw her
chariot whenever she wished to go to
drive. But as she opened the gate the
Lion gave a loud roar and bounded at
her so fiercely that the Witch was
afraid, and ran out and shut, the goto
again.
"If I ennnot harness you,” said tha
Witch to tho Lion, speaking through
tho bars of the gate, “I can starve you
You shall have nothing to eat until
you do us I wish.''
So after that she took no food to tho
imprisoned Lion; but every day she
came to tho gate at noon and asked:
"Are you ready to be hnrneszed like
a horse?”
And tho Lion would answer:
"No. If you come In this yard I will
bite you.”
Tho reason the Lion did not, have
to do as the Witeli wished was that
every night, while the woman was
asleep, Dorothy carried him food from
the cupboard. After he had oaten he
would He down on his bed of straw,
and Dorothy would He beside him and
put her head on his soft, shaggy mane,
while they talked of ,their troubles and
tried to plan some way to escape. But
they could find no way to got out of
the castle, for tt was constantly
guarded by the yellow Winkles, who
were the slaves of the Wicked Witch
aud too afraid of her not to do as she
told them.
The girl had to work hard during
the day, and often the Witch threat-
ened to heat her with the same old
umbrella she always carried tn her
hand. But, tn truth, she did not dare
to strike Dorothy, because of the mark
upon her forehead. The child did not
know tilts, and was full of fear for
herself and Toto. Once the Witch
struck Toto a blow with her umbrella
and the brave little dog flew at her
and bit her leg, In return. The Witch
dtd not bleed where she was bitten,
for she was so wicked that the blood
in her had dried up many years be-
fore.
