GREAT HEADS.

Great heads have the gentlemen en-
 gineering the prosecution against TIE
 OASIS editor for the alleged libel of
 Sam Webb t'the best collector of GUS
 toms NogaleS ever hadn. For some
 reason or another several of the lead
 ing citizens of Nogales were refused
 as bondSmen, and every intention
 manifested of locking in jail over Sun day the editor of this paper. Among
 those so rejected were Colonel Roy. J. T. Brickwood, Capt. J. J. Noon, H.
 k Chenoweth. Doctor Chcnoweth and others. Finally tiring of their monkey business some of the friends of MT. Bird put mp cash bail of five hundred dollars in gold coin, and the nominal custody of the editor termi- hated. Now comes the nub of the joke: Monday morning, Colonel Roy, who was rejected as a hondsman Sat urday night, was accepted and quail fied and on his bond, with Mir. Tit combs who had qualified Saturday afternoonl, the coin put up for Mr. Birds security was returned to the gentlemen supplying it, Messrs. ]. T. Brickwood, John Jund and George Christ, Jr., to whom TIE OASIS editor is most happy to make this public acknowledgement of gratitude. There was another peculiar circumstance cropped out Monday. As above stated ColoLel Roy, who was no good for bondsman Saturday night, was a good enough Morgan Monday morning. Was the telegram with big scare heads in the Arizona Gazette Sunday morn ing, announcing that the editor was in jail, iR any way connected with this persistent refusal on Saturday night of bondsman amply competent on Monday?
 And there is another very pertinent | question arising from another occur ence of Monday. The license collector was arrested on a charge fully as grave l as that laid against the editor. The I same justice allowed him to go over night and for several days, on bis own recognizance. Why couldn't he have the same favor 10 the editor9 ! Did the false and malicious telegram in the Arizona Gazette have anything to do with all this?
 Monday morning it was reported ! that another warrant for the editor was in course of preparation. Straight way several prominent and well to do | citizens came and volunteered to % Dn bonds. Their knd offers were very accepted; but it was a false alarm, and need for calling on them anne not. The editor here wishes to acknowledge his obligation to these. gentlemen.

VERY BRAvE.

Hardly an issue of TIE OASIS has appeared since it's advent in N0gales. in which it has not some dirty fling at the Nidette, and we have frequently heard that the editor of that sheet boasted on the street that the Vidette was a coward and afraid to hit back The reason we have studiOusiy re- trained from answering, is that we dislike newspapers quarrels as they are useless, disagreeable and Of no in- terest to the public, but patience ceases to be virtue and if after this week THE OASIS still has chip on it's shoulder we will proceed to knock it off and then the war may open in earn est. If "a row it must be, we are going to fight TIE OASIS and it's editor to a finish, in any shape. form or fashion that suits. Nidette.
 AND the poor thing, after the above brave declaration flew under the pro- tecting wing of a court and swore out a warrant of arrest for libel.

4 rcIeplono Lino to orc Blanco.

Those who have visited Gro Blanco of late report that the people out that way are keenly anxious to be con nected with Nogdles by telephone. They will pay handsome bonus to- ward construction of such a line, and give liberal patronage afterward. With such an appliance their trade with Nogales would be greatly in- creased at once. What they wanted would be ordered by phone and go out on the stage.
 Some time ago a local line in the town of Nogalcs was talked of, and some thirty-three subscribers secured. It is now proposed to revive that pro- ject in connection with an Orc Blanco line. Mir. Flewelling will visit the business men of the town next week, and there is no doubt bat that the scheme can be made To go.

fire creeps along, DESTROYING the grass
and shrubs, but not t. cir roots, which
again next year send forth a hardy
growth. frequently to meet the same
fate. The little tongues of flame wind
along among the grass and bushes,
burning the charred trunk of some
fallen giant of the forest aud leaving
the core for another fire TO whet its
teeth upon. Cordwcod, telegraph poles
and cedar ties are dsvoured in short or.
der. Perhaps ther9 is pine stub, the
relic of some great tree, up which the
flames creep. If the wind is high they
will destroy it, wrapping themselves
about the trunk apd ascending above
its top, perhaps hundred and fifty feet
in air. The green spikes of the pines
are burned entirely, off or crisped to
dingy brown and the bark is SCARED by
the little spirals of reddish flame which
chemists tell us is bit the union of car.
bon and oxygen. And so the flames
progress, ever widening the area GOV.
cred and leaving ,behind smoking
wilderness of bare ground, burning
stubs and naked limbs. Unless rain
comes soon the flames gather in
strength and an Immense volume of
superheated air arises from the fire.
The colder air near at hand rushes in
to take its place and current is formed
which soon develops a high wind.
Thus the flames feed themselves, and
furnish the means for their own prog
ress. Nothing can stop them but lack
of fuel, which is rarely the case, or
rain. And as the flames themselves
produce a wind to drive them along,
the struggle of the heated air to get
upward, and of the colder air TO rush
in and fill the partial vacuum causes
condensation of the moisture in the at
mosphere, as is the case with the moist
ure deposited upon the outer surface OF
pitcher or pail of cold water on
warm summer day. The moisture, dis.
seminated through the warm air in in.
finitesimal globules, is consolidated into
drops of appreciate size as the cooler
air rushes through. From state of
vapor. practically gas in the warmer
air, the water cQpdenses into drops
which must heed The law of gravita-
ton, and down they come, perhaps a
hundred drops falling into one before
the earth is reached, and the welcome
rain arrives The flames are damped,
or entirely extinguished, and the forest
fire is checked, or entirely killed.

A year never passes without the daily
newspapers containing more or less
narrowing news about forest fires in
the northwestern states, usually at
tended by loss .of life and always ac-
companied by suffering and great money
damage. To those who are unacquaint-
ed with the conditions prevailing
IN the pine states of the northwest,
notably in Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota, whence come nearly all
the pine lumber and shingles used in
the north, it might seem that these ac-
counts are grossly exaggerated, and
doubtless they are at times, as all facts
are liable to be distorted and enlarged
upon; but many of the fires inflicting
great damage are never chronicled out

sons burned out or burned up.
Forest fires rarely occur where hard
wood trees predominant, or, If such is
the case. do not cover any great area of
territory. In the northern peninsula
of Michigan, northern Wisconsin and
northern and eastern Minnesota where
the forests are of pine, with a sprinlx
ling of maple, poplar and ether hard
woods, fires may occur at almost any
period of the year except mkiwinter.
Two years ago last spring in northern
Michigan fire from the forest swept
over a lumber camp, destroying it, and
the men working sherc escaped with
difficulty. because of the deep snow in
the road. This was an exceptional
case, but fires may he looked for at any
time from April to November. and usu-
ally not in vain. The most serious and
far-reaching conflagrat-ons occur in
late fall and autumn, and follow pro-
longed periods of drought. Whenever
there are four weeks or more without
rain, or with very slight rainfall, fires
usually follow. As rule n shower
puts n stop to their ravages, but should
the drought continue, the fires spread
