The Citrograph, the gem of Cali fornia newspapers, journal one like which it was long the ambi- ton of THE OASIS man to own, an ambition now gratifed, says:
 THE OASIS, of Nogales, Arizona, has been compelled to enlarge to twelve pages. We congratulate Col. Bird on his success and take occasion to say that he thoroughly deserves his success.

Secretary of War Alger is seek ing to revive the grade of lieuten- ant-general. This is being done to tickle the inordinate vanity of General Miles. It is barely pos sible but not probable that he can knock the persimmon. - Tucson Citizen.
 Why not make Miles lieuten- ant general The honor was con- ferred upon Schofeld who had done no more than Miles to deserve it. More than all it would be fitting recognition of the volunteer-the soldier who las fought to finish all the great wars Of the republic.

THE world always takes men at their own estimate. A lawyer who is content with small fee is always thought a "jackleg, a doctor who cuts fees is always considered a quack, and a newspaper which ad- vertises the cheapness of its adver- Using and job printing is considered of no account anyhow. And the world is never far amiss from its opinion.

One of the sad events Of the
week was the death of Mr.. P. G.
Peterson at the residence of Mr..
Frank Stuart where he boarded
when in the city. Mr.. Peterson
came originally from Denmark
and had been in the employ of
Messrs. Ruhl, Koblegard & Co.
for about a year and was highly
esteemed by all his acquaint-
ances. On September first he
was to have been married to
a Miss Armstrong, of Birch
River, and had all his arrange
ments perfected for the happy
event. His death was caused by
fever and was very unexpected.
His promised bride came here to
see him Sunday but ere she ar
rived his spirit bad winged its
flight to the God who ordains and
executes as itpleaseth Him. The
clothing that he was to have
worn on his wedding day did
service on the sad occasion when
he was laid to rest in the !. o. o.
