GIVE THANKS ALSO.

literary tnctt. Tue fellow who clipS an item from newspaper and labels it "exchangen instead of giving the credit that properly belongs tOit is en- titled to as little respect as if he stole it outright and palmed it of as pro- duct of his own. A number of South ern California weeklIes are guilty of this reprehensiblc practice. It is both contemptible and dishonest This, of course applies only where the credit is known. There are, however, many good things that go the rounds of the papers the credit for which has been lost. The fault rests with the editor ial pilferer that first made the clip ping Saturday Review.
 Oh Lord These amateur journal
 it's who are eternally invading the province Of newspaperdom and ever roaring because the shadows of their ears are not shot athwart tine page of every newspaper which clips little item from the columns of the papers they misedit, do make all exceeding tired.
 The idea of these ineffable idiots. whose ''gernals" resemble an oyster stew at church sociahle--'a single oyster item to bowl of slop, "-rais- ing a roar because an lnconsequential item is not credited to them For what is newspaper conducted, any way? For the information and edih- oaf;n,, of f+e roodaro N,,,, lo ,voro,ro reader of THE OASIS, nor of any other really readable newspaper, don't care rap whether the statement that John Bulfizzle has painted his house sky blue with terracOtta trimmings was clipped from the Whisky Barrel Bung- starter or the Saturday Review: nor does he care whether the paper eX- tending the publicity of the statement credits it to one of those estimable 'gernals," or to an exchange, or puts 1t forth without credit. In fact the average reader prefers to read the column of newsy items in his fayorite paper, that were clipped from ex- changes, without such credits.
 Newspapers are not for the llattery of each other. If they were, then the old and gradually dying system of credits for all items would have some cause for survival And with it would go hand in hand the similar custom prevalent across the border-of always thanking the 'estimable colleagues" who copy anything from the columns of paper. With that polite and courtly system of journalism, then would our American journals be- ex- actly like the nOndescript sheets among our near neighbors over the line, each issue containing one long winded original editorial, twoor three equally long winded copied from ''estimable colleague" and as many articles of thanks to those 'estimable colleagues" who copied the one Of last week. And how happy would be the small soGled editors-sueh as he of the Saturday Review surrounded by such an atmosphere of journalistic adua- tion. But for the active American newspaper man who prints what peo- pie want to read-faugh
 But the Saturday Review lof San Bernardino) should remove to Sonora. There itself and it's editor would be at home and happy They would al- ways have not only full credit for the little copied from them: but thanks beside for what they copied from others.

FILL THE WELLS.


 source of water supply drawn by more than hal the population of Nogales the mind is lost in wonderment that the town has not been swept by pes tience: and there is no doubt that the rayages of diphtheria from which so many families here have suffered and the few cases of small poX that have occurred have been aggravated great ly if not entirely superinduced by the pois0ns absorbed in the water used by so many.
 Allusion herc is made to all who use water drawn from wells down in the main part of the town, along the arro- 70: and there are number from which is drawn the water used by many families. That part of the town is built upon deposit of gravel and sedi-cement, left in tue canon by the usual land building influences. The wells penetrate this deposit to water channel lying on the bed rock, and the water is contaminated and poisoned by all the cesspools of the town, the malignant settings from which readily percolate downward through the porou strata, to the water be- heath. In many instances these cess pools and priyy vaults arc within ten or fifteen feet of well which supplies an entire eneighborhood Near the jail k one case in poiut-and it is the only one of many. There is well from which fully score of families draw their entire supply, and not twenty feet away is priyy vault covered by large priyy with four compartments. All the poison in that vault goes right down into that well, and is taken into the system of scores of human beings. It is any wonder that around that vicinity there have been numerous cases of diphtheria? TIE OASIS is crcdiby informed that occasionally this well is cleaned, and the muddy slime drawn from it's depths shows in the sun all the iridescent hues always present in solutions of noxious p0isons.
 There is no need of one drop of such water going into single stomach in Nogales-whether that stomach be, human or animal. The pipes of the water company ramify all over the town, and they convey to all using them good, pure fresh water without the least contamination. That water is drawn from a great well sunk to a depth of ITO feet in solid rock; and be- tween the water channel from which it draws it's supply and the arroyo where are located the poisoned wells is a rocky barrier seven hundred feet or more in width which it is impossi- ble for the contaminated water to per colate. The enterprising proprietors of that property II. K. and ". F. Chenoweth, have developed there sufficient water to supply town five times the size of Nogales. It is good, pure and wholesome, ard it's general use among the people would make No gales the healthiest place on the con tinent, without any exception.
 The town council and board of health of Nogales owe the people duty in this connection. An ordinance should be immediately enacted and enforced prohibiting the use of water from any of these wells for domestic and family purposes: and those public ones which are used by entire neighborhoods should all be filled and the opportun- ity taken from those who would other wise persist in using their contamin- ated waters
 This is a vital question greatly

The report is that the foot ball
game Friday at Arkansas City be-
tween the team there and Winfeld's
team resulted in score Of II to- in
favor Of Winfield with a free for all
row thrown in. A great antagonism
has existed between these two clubs
for some time and we presume this is
the way it cropped out. However,
the score so far as the game was play
ed shows that the Winfield team is
much the stronger of the two. The
high school team of this city will meet
them next Saturday at Winfield. Both
teams have beaten Arkansas City and
since the Arkansas City game, 1.-THE
high school team here has been weak
ened by the loss Of Burcham, who wa:
crippled. The new men who ape in
training have so far made good show
ing in practice, but some of them have
never played in a match game. Henc,
it is very necessary that Wellington
practice all possible before their gam,
with the WiGtield team. 1t will be ;
game worth seeing.
