Very few people who drink wine

where cork trees grow" said wine
tout the other evening in Broad
way cafe. "Of course | understand
all branches OF the business" the
corkologist went on, as he
held up the sparkling wine
and looked through the
glass. "The cork tree, on an aver
age, lives 100 years, and its average
height is twenty-five or thirty feet.
1t is native of the Mediterranean
basin, in northern Africa, Corsica,
southern France and the Siberian
Peninsula. 1t does not grow in
America except in spots-dry,
warm places of mild temperature.
These trees are very rare and con-
sidered great curiosities.
con a recent visit south l found
two fine cork trees in the college
grounds at Bay st. Louis, near New
Orleans. They are very large and
beautiful, and are called The
Twins \ maker of cOrks had OBJ
tanned permission to strip the trees
of their bark. The cork tree is
valued for its bark. The best time
to strip it is in July or August.
The outer bark Of the tree is first
stripped when it is % years old.
This removal of the rough bark or
outer skin, as some would call it,
causes a growth Of finer quality.
This requires about eight or nine
years, and the quality improves
with each successive stripping. So
you will see that the cork tree, as
we'll as man, changes its skin in
about the same number Of years,
though | believe seven years is the
time given to man for complete

HERE'S RroHSEss.r

Last Saturdays issue of THE OASIS contained nearly whole page ot Slan- derOuS articles about Collector Sam F. Webb and his family. In these arti- cies TIE OASIS accused Mir. Webb 9f being editor and owner of the Nidette which would be no crime, but which is not true. It also accused him Of selling $50 horses to mounted inspect ors for Sl00 each, which is not true, and every line rider will say so. o.- Vii dette.
 The Vidette cannot produce one line from TIE OASIS which ever said that Mir Webb ever sold a horse to a line rider. The assertion was simply made that MT. Webb had sold horses for Sl00 each when others found dlili- culty in disposing of horses equally good for S60. There is nothing libel- Ous in that. Rather is it a cempli ment to Mir. Webb's business acumen and talent.
 But why this haste of the Nidette to deny a charge which has never been made against Mr. Webb?-i. e. why assert that THE OASIS made the charge that he sold horses to line riders?- (which TIE OASIS did notl.' Here's richness

 By the time Sam Webb and the courts get through with it Sam Webb will show that he is fully as ignorant of the law for libel as he is of the United States revenue laws, in which his crass ignorance makes him the laughing stock of all who come in con- tact with him. Ask any custom house broker at Nogales.

IT IS noted by everyone that in de- fending MT. Webb the Vidette is loudest in it's replies to charges not made against him. About other mat ters it's silence is most expressive. For instance it has nothing whatever to say about his little difficulty with Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express over the misuse of his frank.

Editor of THE OASIS

Editor of THE OASIS
 DEAR SIR:-In your issue of the 10th inst, under the head of "Com- promise Talk" relating to differences now existing between the tso calledl City Council and the Protective Asso- citation, you allude to statement made by one of the Council, that the Council had been called to confer ence with the understanding that an offer to compromise would be made by the Protective Association committee involving dismissal O. suits, payment of all licenses, collection of all taxes, and settlement ot the Orc Blanco road debt, but they found the Clti- zen's Committc divided, two being in favor of and two being opposed to pay ing the Gro Blanco road debt.
 Now will state as member of that committe that they were not di- vided, are not now and never have been divided upon paying the Gro Blanco road debt; but all were at that time not only willing but anxious to see that debt paid, and offered to as- sist the council in deyising means and ways, and also to subscribe lberally toward the payment of the same.

IF THE young man up in Cochise who was last year elected to stay at home, by an admiring constituency, at time when his associates on the party ticket went into office by tre- mendous majorities, will closely ob- serve the proceedings of the district court at Tucson in November, he will discover that there is as wide differ ence between the construction placed upon the law of libel by d greedy off, cial whose undignified and unbecom- ing course has been publicly ventilated and the construction of the same law held by courts and juries, as that be- tween his own opinion of his own legislative qualifications, and the opin- ion of those qualifications held by his friends and neighbors in Cochise.

IN ALL this talk about times getting better and business improving our friends of the democratic faith who credit it all to the operation of dem ocratic policy seem to forget that in 1892 they promised us better times immediately.

THE esteemed contemporaries O. THE OASIS at Phoenix and Wilcox, the Arizona Republican and Sulphur Valley News, are respectfully informed that the editor of this paper is not one whit alarmed about the ultimate out come of the charge of criminal libel made against him by public official whose acts he has deemed it necessary to criticise. Ifthey will watch events closely they will see THE OASIS com ing out of this controversy with flying colors. The editor does not, nor will not retract one iota his position on the liberality of the present libel law. He will demonstrate that it is amply sufficient to protect honest journalism and that tricksters cannot use it for personal revenge.

LAST week the air was filled with talk about the difficulties between the Citizens Protective Association and the council, several conferences were held, and written proposition pre- sented the council and taken under advisement by that body.

Q
 Now If the Councllh had been equally liberal and conciliatory, with the as- sistance of their friends, they should be able to raise an equal amount and settle up the debt on the Orc Blanco road.
 On the following evening another joint meeting was held, and MT. Her rera as mayor, wanted a proposition from the Protective Association; Mir. Cummings as chairman of that associ- ation replied in substance as folows That they were willing to be taxed to raise a sufficient sum to pay of all just and legal debts now due from the corporation, and stop further expen- ses. We should then all work togeth- CT for dislncorporation and when that agreement was completed, we were then willing to meet them as a road committed But the Council de- clined. Now if the Council had used as much energy and liberality as the other side the thing would have been settled; but they seemed determined that the Gro Blanco road debt must be paid by taxation, the injustice of which was clearly explained by MT. Ephraim. Any child should know that the payment of that debt by tax ation is unjust, inexpedient and inn possible.
 Those councilmen and their friends who got themselves into this muddle should be the most liberal donators towards paying that road debt, and try to settle it the easiest and best way they can. w. N. CUMMINGS.

END OF AN INTERESTING CASE.
Suit Against Mrs. Frances E. Hurley

Especial to the PREsS.)

Especial to the PREsSJ
Rockland, March 12.-About one year ago
J. II. II. Hewett of Thomaston, administra-
of Rockland. through his attorney, Hon.
David N. Mortland. instituted suit before
the Supreme court against Mrs. Frances E.
Hurley, the daughter of said PillsbuIy, for
The conversion of bonds amounting to
about $4,000. The Pillsbury estate has
gained a New England reputation on
account of the great number and variety of
suit which have been brought in relation to
it, hut none attracted more attention than
this ono from tho fact that at the last
september ter.n J. E. Han1y of Boston,
representing Mrs. Hurley, filed a motion
for change of venue. 1t was claimed in this
motion that on account of the multiplicity
OF law cases in which the defendant had
been concerned, that knox county juIymen
were pre- JUDGED against her. Mrs. Hurley s
council therefore asked that the cass be
tried in Cumberland county. Comfortable
evidence in the form of afidavits signed by
leading citizens was filed showing conclu-
siveIy that such bias, did exist against Mis-.
Hurley. The motion was afterwards with
drawn and notice given the Plaintiffs that
Mrs. H urley would demand trial at fhis
term. This forenoon the case was marked
for trial but later in the day Administrator
Hewett's counsel announced that they
would become non suited ana such an entry
was made by Chief Justice Peters. This
signaIled a complete victory for Mrs. Hur-
