Instead of bewailing the loss they should stir up our neighbors over the line to go to work and complete the road, and help in the remaining cost to be incurred.

~eooD MONEY AFTER BAD."

neIe are III NOSdlcS iudiy So- timable business men who fail to understand that in some cases sending good money after bad" is the only way to make themselves whole. Particularly is this so in the construction of great public works, such as roads, bridges, etc. Frequently construction would nev- CT begin were the ultimate cost taken into consideration But the work is begun on an estimated basis with money appropriated to carry 1t through upon such estimates. But long before that money is ex- pended the fact becomes plainly ap- parent that it will not suffice. It will not do to let the money ex- pended be lost entirely, so hustle is made to get "good money to send after bad" Frequently this has to be repeated several times be- fore the final result is accomplished and those who laid out their money reach a position where they can get it back. A familiar illustration of this kind is the great Brooklyn bridge. Had its estimated cost been put at fifteen millions of dol lars, the work would not have been undertaken. But the two cities set about building bridge to cost five millions. When that amount was nearly expended they discovered they must raise five millions more to put into the structure. Then three other millions were demanded and raised, and there was final call and payment of two millions to complete the structure. It has proved a grand investment, paying many times its cost. But had it not been ill the hands of people who feared not to throw good money after bad" 1t would have remained unfinished and the half completed structure would have stood a monument to their own folly and lack of wisdom.
 Nogales stands precisely in the same relation to the Gro Blanco road as did New York and Brook lyn to the big bridge. That was a public work the town undertook which engineers said would cost twenty-five thousand dollars. The people of the town undertood to build 1t for five thousand. To date it has cost about eight thous- and, and is ofpractically no benefit to Nogales. But less than one thousand more will put it into such condition that it will be of vast benefit to the town, and our people are asked to contribute only five hundred of that sl1m EO11r hundred dollars are already pledged, and the other one hundred ought to be raised in fifteen minutes. But THE OASIS editor has heard some of our best business men say: "Ohl I am tired of the Gro Blanco road; am tired of throwing good money

MANITOBA SCHOOL QUESTION.
Letter From the Pope to the Arch
Bishop of Montreal.

ROME, Nov. PA recent letter of
the Pope to Archbishop Braschesi of
Montreal, who is now in this city on
mission in behalf of the Roman Cath
olics of Manitoba who claim the right
TO maintain separate schools, in addi-
tfon to emphasizing the Importance of
the demonstration made by forty news
paper men at Montreal when the Arch
bishop started for Rome, and pointing
out how important the aid of a SYM
pathetic press can give the cause of
order and tranquility, concludes by
saying that animated by especial pa
ternal zeal for Canada" his holiness
will use his utmost solicitude that
public concord will suffer no detri-
ment'
The last statement is interpreted to
mean that the Pope's coming encycli
cal on the Manitoba school question will
not be so rigid as TO embitter the situ-
alton.
The reply of HIS holiness also con-
tains an exhortation to the Catholics
of Canada to warmly second the efforts
of their Bishops.
The letter from his holiness to the
Archbishop of Montreal was sent in re-
ply to report Mgr. Braschesi had made
in regard to the journalistic demonstra-
ton previously alluded to.

CURRENCY REFORM.
Will be Dealt With in the Presi-

WASHINGTON Nov 24-The
Evening Star" to-day says:
1t can be stated on the highest au-
thority that the President is going to
recommend a plan for currency reform
in his message, and further than that
part of the message was written with
the cooperation of Secretary Gage. 1t
is authoritatively stated that Secretary
Gage is perfectly satisfied with the
Presidents message in regard to imam
cial legislation, and it meets his entire
view and support.
Further than this, it can be stated
on the same high authority that the
Secretary of the Treasury will SUBMIT 10
Congress in his annual report the pian
for currency reform which he submltted
to the Cabinet at its meeting on fri-
day. October Goth. The Secretary N
tends to submit this report to Congress
almost identically as it was supmltteo
to the Cabinet, but with the exception
that he will make some further recon-
mendations, but these will not mater
tally change the plan already an
nounced.

PACIFIC CABLE COMPANY.
To Have California and Hawaii
Connected Within 18 Months.

NEW YORK, Nov PA meeting of
the Pacific Gable Company of New
York was held to-day at the offices of
the Central and South American Tele-
graph Company in this city. The fol-
lowing Board of Directors were elect
ed: j. p. Morgan, Edmund L. Baylies,
J. Kennedy Tod, Rear Admiral John
Irwin, u. S. N, and James a. Scrim
ser. James A. Scrimser was elected
President and Edmund L. Baylies Vice
President and acting Treasurer.
The company announces that its
proposed cable will connect San Fran
cisco with the Hawaiian Islands near
Honolulu Extension from the Ha-
waiian Islands will be made to Japan
and Australia.
1t is further announced by the COM
pany that the surveys for the cable be-
tween the coast of California and the
Hawaiian Islands are highly satisfac
tory, and that arrangements are be-
ing made for the establishment of that
section within eighteen months. Deep
sea surveys in the Southwestern Pacific
show a remarkably even bottom, much
more favorable than the older chart in
dicated, many supposed shoals having
been expunged from the admiralty
charts.
The Pacific Gable Company will be in
dependent of the Mexican Telegraph
Company, the Central and South Amer
lean Telegraph Company and the West
ern Union Telegraph Company in it's or
ganizations, but it is stated these or
ganizations will have close business
relations with it.
1t will require over 5000 miles Of
cable to connect the United States with
the Hawaiian Islands. Japan China
and Australia.

Together With Her Cargo, Valued at One
Hundred Thousand Dollars.
When the Flames Were Believed to
be Under Control a Terrific Ex-
plosion Of Oil Sent Flying De-
bris in Every Direction and
Several Fire.nen Had Narrow
Escapes From Death.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-The full
rugged ship Port Patrick of the Port
line, Glasgow, Scotland, Captain Frank
Hand, was almost wholly destroyed by
fire at her dock in the East River to-
day.
Her cargo valued at about 100000,
was also destroyed. The cause of the
fire is unknown. 1t broke out in the
forward lower hold and spread so rap
idly that the crew of twelve men and
the Captain and mate had barely time
to get ashore alive.
The Port Patrick arrived here from
Java October 9th, with a cargo of SUI
gar She had discharged her cargo
and was being loaded with oats and
other materials for Australian ports.
She was to sail from here December
9th. Stored in the hold were 2o,000
cases Of kerosene, each containing 223
gallon tins. There were thousands of
barrels of other oils.
The fire was discovered by the watch
man on the upper deck while the crew
We're ali asleep. The watchman gave
the alarm and the crew scrambled out
of their hunks as best they could and
made for the gangway to the pier. In
a few seconds the big ship was envel-
oped in a thick cloud of smoke which
poured out from the hatchway. The
fireboats New Yorker and Havemeyer
soon had a dozen streams playing on
the burng vessel, with little effect
The firemen forced their way on board
through the smoke, ripped up the
matches and poured such streams of
water into the holds that it seemed as
if the vessel would sink from sheer
weight of water. Two tugboats which
We're lying beside the Port Patrick were
towed out into the river.
After about three hours work, when
the firemen were congratulating them
selves upon having the fire under con-
troll, terrific explosion sent debris fly
ing in every direction and knocked the
firemen off their feet. Several of the
firemen had narrow escapes from fall
ing into the smoke-f filed hold, and one
was overcome. He was dragged ashore
by his companions as soon as they re-
gained their feet. The first explosion
was followed by a second and third,
and gradually the vessel began to sink
until there was scarcely anything left
of her above the water.
The Port Patrick was built in Glas-
gov eight years ago by the Ruddells
She was 26S feet long, SO feet beam and
% feet draught. She was full-rigged
steel clipper. She was valued at about
100000.

The affidavit upon which the motion
will be made states that the date set

an order staying it; also that decision
on this appeal is a useless waste of
