IMPORTANT TO MORALES.

Now that the cloud over land titles in Nogales has been dissipated by the recent decision of the supreme court of the United States it is incumbent upon the people of the town who feel a real interest therein and hope for it's prosperity and advancement to keep in view the importance of the duties which will devolve upon the council which will be elected next month, and the labor necessary to perform those important duties properly and correct ly, in obtaining patent to the lands included within the corporate limits and in adjusting and deeding the yari- ous claimants the lots and property to which they are legally and justly en- titled. While the present council has moved promptly in taking the first steps toward securing title from the government, the term of office will ex- pire before patent can issue, and in fact all which is yet to be done will devclve upon those elected to the council by the people on the first Mon- day in April, as trustees, under pro- vision of law.
 A council called upon to perform duties so important should combine many qualifications and should con- sist of citizens who are
 -Householders and free holders.
 SEcoND-Who have the ability and are competent to execute the trust imposed upon them.
 THIRD-Who have had sufficient re- sidence in Nogales to acquaint them with all the claims within the town.
 FOURTH Who will apply them selves closely and are willing to give the time required.
 FIFTH-Who will not seek to reward friends or punish enemies in handling the trust confined to their care.
 The present incumbents of the of- fees of councilmen are men who have evidenced full capacity for the requir- ments that the decision of the su- preme court and the law have made incumbent upon their successors. TIE OASIS believes they should be their own successors. To quote one of Pres ident Lincolns metaphors, lit is bad time to swap horses when cross ing a stream" The Town of Nogales is now crossing the largest stream it will ever have to pass.

THE issue is made right now whe- ther Nogales is to be run by the men who have come here to stay, or by man who openly declares hostility to the town, reviles every business man in the place, and makes no secret of an avowed purpose to return to Ger many with his wealth and there enjoy it. That is the issue, and for one THE OASIS welcomes it.

THE OASIS POSITION.

OASlS DTOukHJ utic idiSC ahu '"i" able plant of printing machinery and material. Several of the most suc- cessful and wealthy business men began here on capital not one-quarter as large.
 To make successful such a newspa- per and to return a remunerative rev enue upon the investment live, pro gressiye, growing town iS necessary. There are the natural resources to make such town if they are only siezed and utilized That requires the drawing here of men of enterprise and capital. To do that nothing will con tribute better than a well organized town corporation faithfully and ac- curately exercising it's just powers and discharging its legal duties. That is why a majority of our most success cessfu and energetic business men support the town incorporation and vote to tax themselves to maintain it. The towns people cannot expect strangers to come here to locate and invest their money when they see rough and and ungraded streets, out of line, surewn with tilgh and rubbish and not lighted at night. THE OASIS stands with those who hold to these views because it believes that if the town is to continue to advance the people here must do something for themselves.
 Opposed to this view are some very excellent citizens, who really intend remaining here. But the head and front of the opposition consists Of men who openly declare they are here for what they can make only, and will leave as soon as they have made enough. They oppose all taxation and all improvement. Every dollar they pay for taxes and improvements in No- gales they look upon as money thrown away which would otherwise go to swell investments elsewhere. Consequently they would dissolve the corporation, or, failing in that, elect do nothing board, which would go along in the way once preyalent-levy no taxes, collect no money, and let the hat be passed around occasionally when something had to be done which could not be eyaded.
 Now is it the part of wisdom for people who have come to Nogales to stay, and have invested their good hard dollars, to follow the lead of those ayowed carpet baggers who do not intend to remain? Is it the part of wisdom for THE OASIS, which if it grows must grow with the town, to cast its lot with men who do not hesi- tate to avow their purpose to tear 1t down? Is it the part of wisdom Of mechanics who are to live by employ ment in erecting new buildings to vote the same way with men who op- enly declare they want to see the town ruined? THE OASIS can at least name one man among the kickers-a leader among them-who has openly so de- clared himself to it's editor. Is 1t the part of wisdom for those who have property they wish to see enhanced in value to vote the same way as those who want to see it depreciated or don't cares.
 The present council are all men who have come to Nogales to stay. They want to build up the town, and are deyoting their best energies thereto. Not one man who supports them wants to see the town retrograde. Among those opposed to them are many who are indifferent, and several avowed enemies to the town.
