CANNOT RUN oS WIND.

zen, it takes about thirty-two people to run that establishment, and yet there are great many persons who are of the opinion that live news paper can be printed and published on wind.-Gallup Cleaner.
 The above excerpt tells a deal of truth. But the fault lies not with the public, but with SO many men who try to run newspapers and print ing establishments on wind. Every printer whe can construct three con- secutive, grammatical sentences, thinks right away he is an editor and publisher and immediately he wants to go into business for himself. He can always find people to encourage him in the fool notion and he gets hold of a plant and starts out as a full tiedged publisher, going into a business which requires close business care and judgment, without single idea of business. He will take adver- tising for any price he can get, do job printing on slight margins, or no mar gins whatever, pay printers poor house wages and work himself to death to try to make ends meet. And the public who pay his prices want the business man who runs a newspaper and printing office to turn out work just as cheaply.
 For one THE OASIS establishment will not do business that way. 1t has been published in Nogales three years, and it has always insisted upon high prices for advertising and job print ing, and it gets them. Of course it turns out a better paper and better job work than any Of it's competitors, but it is enabled to do so because of asking and securing higher prices. Operating on that plan THE OASIS has in three years worn out and driven out of the field no less than eight competitors. First was El Monitor, which moved away. Then El lnde- pendiente, established by Lauro Aguirre, who had put in fine plant, which cost S2400 new, with large stock of paper, letter heads, etc. In two years time his presses and ma chinery were broken, his type worn out, his stock all gone, with no money to replace them, and, under attach ment, what had cost over S30O0, gold, inyentoried only s2s5. The plant was bought by well known resident who added aboutOne thousand dollars worth of type, material and stock and set up k. T. Davila. Within six months Dayila quit. Then Marcos Smith tried it while. Prices charged would not yield the money it cost to run the business, and after few months Marcos quit. Then Simon Montana tried it. The same result. Finally the concern suspended and lay idle a long time. Montana is again running it, but the plant is worn out, it's capacity for work is limited in variety, and it is no factor what ever as a business establishment. Then MT. Espriu moved El Trahco from Guaymas, establishing fine plant, almost equal to that of THE OASIS. He took advertising at one quarter of the rates charged for space by TIE OASIS, and did job printing for about the same prices in Mexican money that TIE OASIS charged in gold. At the end of year he has closed his office and moved his plant to Guaymas. Then there was the Vidette-f first Mr. Webb, then MT. Duffy. They have both quit the busi- ness. Low prices for their advertising space and job printing left no margin.
