AT THE END OF A YEAR.

With this number THE OASIS com pletes a year at Nogales; and the next issue, December 7th, will begin it's second year of publication at the line city.
 When TIE OASIS was moved to the line city there was the usual crOak about Nogales being "tne graveyard of newspapers" and that the paper could not succeed here.
 The proprietor then believed, as he does now, that there was a most ex- cellent field to be covered from No gales by really good newspaper. That his belief has been justified by the outcome goes without saying. In the year past there have been nearly three hundred subscribers added to THE OASIS subscription lists in the state of Sonora alone. Beside that there has been large growth to the subscription lists of the paper at No gales, Orc Blanco, and other points in Pima county.
 The advertising patronage has been likewise of healthy growth, and is fast assuming proportions commen- surate with the value of the paper as an advertising medium. In appealing to the business public THE OASIS does so as a business proposition purely. Its advertisers are given value received in the columns of the paper, and they patronize it solely with that object in view.
 Entering another year of usefulness in the field THE OASIS does so with thanks to it's friends and supporters, and an assurance that its standard will ever be high, and its excellence will continue to increase.

THE MILK IN THE CocANUT.

God hates a coward, whether he be d government official or white man. An official who sneaks around in the dark, hunting trouble with other of- icials, is a coward. and God, as well as other officials hates him Nogales Vidette, Nov. l6th.
 By the foregoing it would appear that government officials are not white and Sam ought to know as he speaks and writes on that issue by the card Besides this there seems to be a little bunch of microbes that are gnawing harmony out of the official bosom. The result probably will be another bunch of charg,.s to swell the good moral character of the brethren now on file at Washington Tucson Citizen.
 The Citizen, it is evident, is trying to stir up row in the democratic party at Nogales. II Vidette Nov. 23rd.
 There was more in the first para graph above printed than the Citizen was aware: and the rejoinder by the Vidette to the Citizens allusion seems decidedly amoosin" as Artemas Ward was wont to say.
 The publication of all the above in the Vidette of last Saturday has set many tongues wagging and many minds wondering what it all means.
 In recounting the incidents which led up to the Vidette's first fling TIE OASIS is violating no official secret. They became known to so many that this paper ''got unto" the facts from outside sources.
 On the night of the thirteenth of November private citizen informed Mir. B. F.. HambletOn that there were three cars loaded with bonded goods standing on side track down near the section house, half a mile away from the depot, and that the said bonded cars were wide open.
 MT. Hambleton is special inspector of the treasury department, and it is his duty to investigate all reported irregularities. Three cars of bonded goods, wide open at nighttime, were certainly a matter requiring inyesti- gation. So Mr. Hambleton went down the track and examined the cars, finding them as reported to him. He went to the depot, reported the mat ter to the railroad agent, and asked that gentleman to see that the cars were secure with railroad locks. That MT. Zeimet did; afterward, when he

4 GOOD RULE.

Dick Rule is making record for himself at El Paso. Dick is one of the few special inspectors who gets out and earns his salary instead of sitting around, drawing his monthly wages and trying to advance himself at the expense of some other officials. -[Vidette of October 18th.
 The above item does not refer to Special Inspector 5. E. Hambleton, who, we do not believe, would tear down any official for his own advance meht.-[ Vidette of October 26th.
 Dick Rule seems to be a pretty good rule, and his rule is to do no work ex- cept in the legitimate line of his du- ty seems another good rule. It is safe to say that Dick Rule does not give Uncle Sam one hours work daily for a handsome salary, putting in the rest of the day editing a blackmail news paper. The Nogales admirer of Mir. Rule should emulate his example and adopt his rule.
 But if Mir. Rule were editing a rews- paper would he eat dirt for any man as the Vidette did for MT. Hambleton asQuoted above?
The oasis., 1895-11-30

THE Vidette is going to issue a daily, and the Nogales custom house wants three more clerks. Uncle Sam is pretty good natured old fellow, but maintaining a jim crow weekly on his pay roll is about all he will stand It is hardly to be expected that he will hold up a daily at Nogales.

TIE Vidette intimates that some government official is Il coward. The Vidette editor has not sufficient sand to try the courage Uf the official at whom the implication was aimed.

n LITTLE ROAR.
Some of the Theatrical Com
paniee are Surprised. in
Little Falle.

Since Little Falls has two opera
houses some of the travelling show
companies have enjoyed a little sur
prise when they reach our city to fill
engagements. Foryears Gross opera
house was the only one in the city.
and since the Germania hall has been
arranged for these entertainments,
mail addressed to the Little Falls
Opera House, reaches the manager
of the Germania building, and con-
tracts are closed for engagements
here. The Gross building is much
the larger. has larger stage and
connecting rooms. The Billy Marble
company was surprised when they
reached here, to find that they had
contracted with the smaller house,
and the agent was much disap-
pointed. The same result met the
Buchanan troupe when they struck
town Monday, and an announce
ment was made in front of the cur
tain at the Monday evening perform
ancc, in which regret was ex
pressed that the company had the
smaller house, and stating that it
was supposed the larger house had
been engaged,
Companies should send advance
agents to a city that has numerous
places of amusement before they con-
tract, then they will get what they
want. Companies have supposed
that mail would reach the Oldest and
best house, but they evidently didn't
understand where the new one was
located.

FUNDING BONDS.
Plans Considered for Funding
County and City Revenue
w. >S Ordero. $}~".

o. rn,.. Nv 7,.t'
Many growing communities find
themselves in bad financial shape
after a few years Of municipal effort
to keep up local improvements, and
under only the, most conservative
management will a county or city
get through such period without a
heavy floating debt. Morrison
county and Little Falls now have
heavy amounts of outstanding reve-
nue. orders; the county revenue debt
Jan. l, 1895, was $26.790.70; the city
revenue debt April !, 1895, was
$15,O7S,57. Officers of thecOunty and
city are now planning to consider
the matter at an early meeting OF the
commissioners and council.
There has been some question as
to whether the issuing of more bonds
now would affect the railroad bonds
voted in 1893, which are prevented
by law from increasing the debt to
above per cent Of the taxable val
uation. Examina ton indicates that
the railroad bonds could be issued
after any necessary funding bonds
were issued, and still the debt kept
within the 5 per cent limit.
The county railroad bonds were
voted when the county had Il tax
able valuation Of So, 236, G66, and now
the taxable valuation is $3,76S,660.
showing an increase of over $3.50, 900.
An issue of :S26,O00 county funding
bonds would, therefore, not bring
the bonded debt Gncluding the $685.
600 railroad bonds) abOve5 per cent
as S per cent Of heincreasei in taxable
valuation would exceed $4,000. The
city railroad bonds were voted on a
taxable valuation of $772,3l3, and
their issue at that time would have
brought the bonded debt up to the 5
per cent limit. Now the taxable val
uation is 81, ITO, 534-an increase of
over $330,00O. Therefore funding
bonds to the amount Of SIG, 900 could
be issued and still allow the $13,5O0
railroad bonds to Issue and not
bring the debt up to 5 per cent.
The amount OF funding bonds men,
toned for city and county would
seem large enough, as they would
place Doth out Of debt at the begin
ing of the year. providing the ex-
Lenses were kept within the receipts
in the future.

G# ander.

Ogema Point, on the north shore
OF Lake Alexander, Is developing
quite rapidly as summer resort.
1t has a firm beach, and commands
a beautiful view of the lake. The
point is owned by the Ogema club OF
this city. l. F. Staples is putting up
a cottage there, and we understand
that John Wetzel may build there
also. Lake Alexander is a beauti-
ful, large lake, and offers many ad.
vantages to sportsmen and pleasure
seekers. The chief objection is that
it lies SO far from railroad lines, and
with a spur built out to the lake. 1T
would become one OF the finest re-
sorts in the state.
