GOING TOO FAR"

But the gentlemen at whom this article is now pointed have never shown the least reciprOcation toward the projects to aid and foster which THE OASIS was specially established. On the other hand they have never let an opportun- | ity slip them, in season and out of sea- son, to distort and belittle every en- terprise shat the people of Arizola have projected for developing the sur rounding country and building up the town. The natural obstacles to be overcome in such enterprises always expected by earnest workers who essay them, they have magnified into noun tains they asserted could not be crossed They have even had the supreme gall to croak against a business enterprise l located adjacent to some of their own property and calculated to enrich them as we'll as it's projectors. They croak about the Touring mill project; yet it is in good shape and the mill will be built. They crooked against the pro posed erection of a church structure at Arizola and couldn't see how the mo- ney is to be raised to build it." yet the project is now in the hands of committee the majority of the mem bership in which have had successful experience in building church ediiices in fields far less inviting than this, who have already received liberal en- couragement and report that in due time the structure will be reared. They crooked against the starting Of livery stable and corral at Arizola and couldn't see how one could make a cent" yet Felix Mayhew had the courage to start one, and he is making more money than all the corrals at Casa Grande. With the same motive they have opposed every legal and ma terial right to which Arizola is entlt- tied. Under the law the place IS en- titled to it's own school district. The children of school age here now num- Der twenty-two, and with the families known to be coming they will soen number thirty. The law requires but ten for a school district: yet Casa Grande unjustly resists creation Of a school district for Arizola, and suO- jects the people here to the annoyance and injustice of having their school misgoyerned by set of directors who live at a distance and have no inter- est in the welfare of the school or the town-who are in fact openly hostile to both. Arizola is now a far greater patron of the postoffice than Casa Grande, and THE OASIS alone dis patches more mail matter to Florence and Wentworth than all the people of Casa Grande. The postoffice depart ment was established and IS maln- tained to subserve the convenience of the business interests Of the country; and to meet the needs and require ments Of particular interests frequent changes are made in mail routes. The needs and requirements of TIE OASIS and other important business inter- ests call for direct mail communica- tion with the county seat; yet when we petitioned to have the mail stage to Florence come around by Arizola, remonstrance decidedly economical of the truth was forwarded from Casa Grande.
 The foregoieg category embraces but small part of the offences against THE OASIS and the business interests it represents, that have been perpe-
