TIE OASIS frequently receives let ters Of inquiry about Arlzola, and as general answer in reply to such in- quirles. will say that Arizola is a town on the Southern Pacific Railway where the Florence Irrigating Canal crosses the track. Three years ago it was a desert; today there is a railway sta- tion at which all passenger trains of the Southern Pacific stop regularly, a telegraph office a post office, an ex- press office, hotel, store, q school house, printing office, stock yard and chute for shipping cattle, and d thrifty and enterprisng community, with newspaper, THE OASIS to speak for them. Three years ago the spot on which Arizola stands was taken up as desert land, for which the govern ment was paid one dollar and twenty five cents per acre. Today town lots are selling rapidly from one hundred dollars up, aud cultivated land sur rounding the town is worth from forty to sixty dollars an acre and upward That is what has been done at Arizola in three years. Come and join in the grand work of making Arizola a pros porous city. We have the most fer tile farming land in the United States. and a health giving climate not sur passed in the world

At daylight there was Q line of Yuma h. dians going witness the scenes to be enacted at the siekbed. When the facts became known several citizens took the matter in hand and notified the Indians to send the woman back at once, or an officer would be sent for her. At noon the woman was released, and the witch killing was abandoned. IL was the intent Of the witch-killers to make away with two squaws and one Indian.

Near Tucson the Allison Brothers are constructing an irrigating ditch, the head of which required some heavy cutting.

Verde farmers congratulated them- selves this year, says the Prescott Courier, over the fact that their peach agd other orchard trees were loaded with fine fruit, but as it ripened large tlocks of birds, mostly linnets, appeared and ate the fruit by the hundreds Of pounds. The birds picked the seeds perfectly bare. covered the ground be- heath the trees with pits and mutil- ated what fruit they did not destroy.
 There is evidence of another dia- mond field in northern Arizona, this time east of the Verde river, where 1t is claimed there is a blue matrix ident- ical with that found in the DeBees diamond mine in South Africa. Some heautifld crystals have been found in this rock, but no diamonds up to date. although prospecting for the genuine article is being vigorously prosecuted.

At three places in England. that is at

At this time OF last year there were u few
cases Of cholera In England. but the infection
did not spread there then. and We do not think
1t Is likely to spread there this autumn. as its
sanitary adversaries are well prepared to deal

There Is no quarantine system for ships ar
irving in English ports, even II they have come
from infected places. The English merely
isolate the persons suffering from the disease
and disinfect those ships upon which cases OF

cholera experts do not agree with the English.
and our experience In past times, even in times
as recent as last autumn certainly seems to
sustain the American decision in favor OF a

sntine officers will keep special watch upon

Express Trains on English Railways.

There Is still much misconception cur
rent regarding the speed OF the express
service on English railways. 1t Is known.
indeed. on both sides Of the Atlantic that on
one OF our American lines. the New York
Central, a much greater speed has been at
tanned and prolonged for considerable
distance than has ever been reached else
where. There is. nevertheless an i'm
preston that. owing to an assumed superb
GRITTY in respect OF solid rosdbeds and easy
gradients. English express trains are usu-
ally able to maintain a rate OF speed for
many hundred miles. which Is impracti-
cable in the United States. 1t Is even sup
posed that sixty miles an hour Is a com
mon average rate OF speed for an express
train In England.
That these notions are by no means borne
out by the facts is shown In the last num-
Der OF the London periodical. Engineering.
There we find carefully authenticated
statements Of the time made by the
fastest trains run on the principal English
railways. We see at once that there ia no
foundation for the belief that any express
trains generally exhibit a speed OF sixty
miles an hour. inclusive OF stoppages. 1t Is
true. however. of one line, the Great North
ern. that the tables OF the time actually
made display greater number OF runs ut
fifty miles an hour than can be boasted OF
by the United States and every other coun-
try OF the world put together The practical
result OF the speed generally attained by
express trains on this line has been to bring
London materially nearer the cities on the
east coast OF Scotland than it was ten years
AGO Rut this roal Ia nm axcantinn amnn1
English railways. The London and North
Western. which Is sometimes regarded as a
rival. runs only one train with speed
reaching forty-fve miles an hour between
London and Birmingham, and has no train
between London and Liverpool which at
tains that standard. Nor Is Manchester
any better served. The London and North
Western requires as much time to reach
that city from the metropolis as does the
Great Northern. although the latters route
is fourteen and quarter miles longer.
Then again. between Liverpool and Biz
mingham. there Is no train having an av-
erage speed Of forty miles an hour. inclu-
sive OF stoppages.
Among the railways put forward by En-
cheering us signal examples of defective
service are the London. Chatham. and
Dover. the South Eastern. and the Great
Western. Noteworthy Is the very low maxi
mum speed attained by the fastest express

Where Pills Accumulate and Men Decay.

Our tranquil and esteemed contemporary
the Boston Transcript. utters these words OF
truth and soberness in regard to the Re-
publican candidate and canvass in the State
