they feel assured will win at the cleo
ton in November. At first the Repub-

A TRUTH THAT HURTS.

These conditions do not furnish
ground for that confidence expressed by
the Dispatch In sweeping Democratic

their votes as they wish TO cast them,
and II their votes are thereafter counted
and credited 81 cast. The indications
all are that the State will 20 Republi-
can II the election IL fair.
Are we TO have . repetition in this
election OF the proceedings that have
done 80 much to make VirQiuisns
ashamed OF their State? Are we to have
an election like the recent one in Ala
bama, In which the negro counties give
the Democrats heavy-moss astounding
-mslorities, and the Democratic party
Is badly beaten in the white counties?
Ii that is to be the sort of election we
are TO have then we see no reason why
the voters should take any part in it
at all. We had just as we'll allow a few
expert election managers fx US up our
election and publish to us the result,
and save ourselves the trouble and in
convenience Of going to the polls. In
that case there Is no reason WIN the

There Is no denying the fact that the
election laws Of Virginia prevent an
honeat expression Of the opinion OF the
people at the polls, and that such laws
were instituted for the purpose OF pre-
venting an honest expression OF the will
OF the people. These laws were ins.i-
tuted at the dictation OF band of sel.
fish place hunters, whose captain and
guiding spirit was the governor OF Vir-
gnia. So rotten and offensive, 30 de-
grading and humiliating. that even this
band OF office hunters felt called upon
to apologize for them, and shielded
themselves from the ecorn Of the
honest people OF Virginia by brszenly
asserting that 1t was necessary to re-
sort to such laws in order to maintain
white supremacy in the State.

And today it is travelled thorough fare, county road, mail route, bringing to Nogales traffic, trade and travel, steadily increasing in volume, and continually contributing to the growth and wealth of the town.
 But hardly had work commenced on the Gro Blanco road before an outcry was raised against it by some of the yermin whom TIE OASIS has hitherto had occasion to expose. Ephraim was incensed because the money was not expended in building road to his Fl Promontorio mine, and he set about decrying and deriding the road it's projectors and contributors, and those doing the construction work. He is now using the same tactics against the projected Altar road on the So- nora side of the line, because Presi- dente Garza Cortina and those asso- ciated with him have selected route which goes some miles south of his property. Another man wanted to handle the commissary department in the construction camp. Those in charge of the work knew him too well and wouldn't have it. He at once be- came a persistent enemy of the road, fought it's construction most bitterly, and has been one of the most conspi- cuous of the kickers. But the Orc Blanco road was built, and it is bene- fit to Nogales today. A more econom- ically constructed road of like dis tance over Geographically similar region cannot be found anywhere in the United States and Mexico. With time and the regular work the county will put upon it. the road will be all that can be required for the most heavy traffic.
 Eut the outcry that las been nude through two years by the fcw who were opposed bas lad an effect to discourage tho people with the work of road building. Having nothing else to do but talk. have three worthies circulated around soya

BUILD ROADS.

Now that it is finally settled that NOgales is to assume the place to which it is entitled by virtue of it's commanding location and natural ad- vantages, and is to be controlled by those who have at heart the welfare and advancement of the town the people should bend their energies to drawing here all the trade and profit which ought naturally flow to it's posi- tion. To do that the town must SUD- ply channels in which the flow can run. Surrounding Nogales in all directions are rich and productive regions which annually emit great volumes of traffic and trade. Under present conditions over roundabout roads or almost im- passable mountain trails, great deal of that trade and traffic comes to NO- gales. With the right kind of roads all would come here, to the great bene- lit and advantage of the place and everyone living in it. It is the busi- ness or the tOWn-ln US corporate capacity or otherwise to build such roads, and THE OASIS trusts that public sentiment will arouse and de- mand that the work be done.
 Some years ago there was aroused such 6 sentiment. and it assumed effective force and action in construc-
 T1r..
 lnaugurated public sentiment was al- most unanimous in favor of construc- itva ef that thoreughfare. With the resources at hand if WIS an almost SapcfimiDan task, but the men who had been entrusted with the work by their fellow townsmen brayely took hold, and overcoming all obstacle-, have made it an accomplished fact.

continually decrying the road and it's advantage to Nogales incorpo- rating with their yap repeated slap at the Gro Blanco district as a mining proposition, until people began to be- lieve them Had THE OASIS been as well posted as now they would have been called down at every turn in the road; but they began their nefarious work before the paper was located at Nogales, and it has taken time for the editor to sift the subject to the bot tom and determine the right. In the future their fabrications and false hoods will not go unanswered.
 There are yet other regions to be tapped by Nogales with good roads. A direct road to Washington Camp would greatly advantage the place. Extensive mining operations are now being conducted over there, and some of the most heavy propositions are but in their infancy. Hundreds of thou sands of dollars are annually expended for labor and supplies, and the trade and traffic of the region make great and steadily increasing volume. It would pay Nogales right today to put direct road right through the Wash ington pass to Washington Camp, for with such a road all that great and growing volume of trade would come direct to this town. The business men of Nogales should take up the matter and start the ball rolling Make a start of some kind Let us get to- gether and discuss the question, ap- point a committee to devise a plan, another to devise ways and means, and out Of it will evolve plan of ac- tion which will accomplish results.
 To give all delinquent taxpayers another chance the Nogales town board has ordered republication Of the delinquent tax list, and 1t appears in TIE OASIS this week. The date of sale is set for May Eth, and it will positively occur at tbat time. No .urtaer Eostponemenb

How the French Make Delicious Coffee.
The Silence Cloth Strawberry
Cottage Pudding.

The French are noted for the perfec-
tion of their culinary skill. They are
famous especially for the delicious
preparation of their coffee. The fragrant
''bowl" of this beverage-with light
ROLAND tiny, individual pitcher Of
hot boiled milk, as served at any
''cafe'' in Paris, is so indescribably
delectable to the partaker thereof that
he forthwith determines to inquire into
the mysteries Of French coffee making.
The secret Of the unsurpassed excel
lence of their coffee, as explained in The
Housewife, is that they prepare it by
means of filtration instead Of boiling.
To boil coffee is to rob it of the triple
extract Of its delicate aroma. The
French contriyance for filtration consists
of perforated porcelain funnel, which
fits into porcelain coffeepot. A circu-
lar piece Of fster paper lines the funnel
and is renewed at each coffee making.
The desired amount of ground coffee,
according to strength and quantity, is
placed in the paper lined funnel, upon
which the boiling water is poured. The
amber colored filtrate is clear as spar
king champagne of delicious flavor and
full strength.
Many may consider this rather an
elaborate method of preparing drink
which is in such frequent demand. a
good substitute arrangement for fltra-
tion is a muslin bag sewed on to a mar
row, perforated ring of heavy tin. This
is much simpler method for obtaining
the same end and is within the reach
of all. which the authority already
quoted tells about. Procure a china cof-
feepot---a tin can should never be used
for coffee--and have made q tin ring,
three fourths of an inch deep, to fit the
top of the coffeepot The ring must
have perforations one half inch apart, by
means of which the muslin bag is at
tached. Any tinman will make ring
Of this description for 5or 10 cents.
The bag is made of medium weight
muslin, nicely rounded and tapering
toward the lower end. If the muslin is
too heavy, the filtration will be too
slow; if too light, it will be too quick
and the filtrate will not be so clear The
same bag must not be used too long. 1t
takes but a few minutes to stitch new
one on to the ring. Ground coffee, the
desired quantity, is put in the bag, and
boiling water slowly poured over, COT
fee made in this manner fully equals in
strength, favor and clearness that fill
tered through porcelain funnel.
A mixture of Mocha and Java, the
one for strength, the other for delieacy
of aroma, makes the finest drink. Green
coffee gives better satisfaction than the
Drowned, because after being roasted it
readily loses its delicate aroma. But
enough to last week should be roasted
at one time.
A suggestion with regard to the water
used: Fresh water should be taken and
made to boil as quickly as possible,
when it should Immediately be poured
over the ground coffee There is a dis
tinctive difference in the taste of water
which has bubbled and spluttered for
hours and fresh, quickly boiled water
though the difference is, perhaps,
more marked in tea than in coffee.

The silence Cloth.

Every dining table nowadays has, or
ought to have, a silence cloth for every
day use as well as for special occasions.
Table padding, felting or double faced
Canton flannel may be found at all the
large dry goods houses especially for this
purpose. An old blanket viii answer if
new material cannot be obtained. This
silence cloth protects the polished table
from scratches or discolorations from
hot dishes or the. spilling of liquids,
saves the wear of the linen cloth along
the edge of the table, and gives it a
richer, heavier appearance, and, most
important of all It's merits, it prevents
any noise in the serving. 1t is desirable
to have the silence cloth long enough to
allow for the extra leaf needed on spe-
cial occasions, and if too long at other
times it can be pinned at the corners
around the table legs, or you may put
several loops Oh. the cloth and some
tacks to correspond on the inside of the
table frame and hook the cloth up out
of the way.
