rainfall on the 26th, and some other
northwestern counties received more
than the normal amount; but in the
bulk of the state there was scarcely any
hindranceof work on account of wet
weather. In the southern section the
soil was becoming too dry, and the
showers on the second and third were
TIMELY and beneficial.
The week was especially favorable for
oats, which had made rank growth aud
is in danger of lodging. There are
some reports of damage by falling and
rust, but in the main this crop is stand
ing fairly we'll. Spring wheat and
barley are doing well.
Excellent progress has been made in
cultivsting corn, and reports as to crops
are generally more cheerful in tone A
considerable portion of the early plant
ed corn.will be laid by during the first
week in July. The corn fields show all
stages of growth, from early germlna-
tion to waist high and first appearance
of tassels. On the whole the crop out
look is somewhat improved.

Good Enough to Keep.

The Deseret News, referring to the Arizona strip of country coveted by Utah, says:
 "On the so-called Arizona strip" which created so much discussion in the Utah legislature two years ago and which the ArizOna legislature de- clined to allow tO become a part of Utah, it is es' imated that mt less than 100000 sheep, 10000 of which are from Kane county, are now wintering. There are probably l5,000 head of cat tie from Kane county on the Arizona strip at this time. The cattle busi- ness is enjoying good deal of boom down there"
 Commenting on the above. the Co cOnino Sun says:
 Ut is evident that the strip Of country north of the Colorado is not the barren, deserted spot that our Utah frieuds tried tO make us believe it was. On the other hand, iJ is fiue grazing section and also curtains many acres of fine timber as we'll as fine mineral deposits"

A Rush Order.


 The following communication was received by Une Of the leading pharma- clsts of Nugales Friday morning:
 LocnIEL, Ariz March lst, 1899.
 OLD FRlEND:- Please send me, by mail, two bits worth of pills-United States pills-not necessarily pills branded U. s., nor pills made espe- cially for government employees, such as Chenoweth, Sy kes, Aguirre, POlitz- CT or Bill EKey, but pills of the latest vintage and built in accordance vii h the U. s. furmulae-Or rather on he plan approved by the U. $. gnvern- meht. 1 want pill that will treat refined gentleman with proper con sideration and feellug-a little more pruDer consideration than "feellng." :" A pill that will go about it's allotted task at the slow and easy manifesta- tion of the day labOrer and yet du it's work thur0ughly without requiring constant and anxious attention. A pin [ hat insists on making an internal grand stand play aud dnesn't know when to let up is an ab' imitation and should never be permitted to mingle with any degree of familiarity with the internal economy Of a gentleman, of culture. In the matter Uf pills l am partial to the "noIr" shade. Like the girl who was purchasing pet poodle, l want that which cUmfrUnts with my complexion. If you have none of the style I have described in stock you need not go to the trouble of manufacturing them es- pecially to fill this order. Simply notify me of the fact and I will try and get action through liberal use of "chile pulo" and bacon grease.
 1 expected to skip over 10 N. this week but both my ponies skipped the tra-la-l loo and are somewhere out on the range with the evident determin- atiOn to keep out of my sight. A man might as we'll be in hell without an automatic fire extinguisher as to be in this place without saddle horse.
 This is about the most lonesome place l ever dropped into. l spend about half my time standing in the door, field glass in hand, looking for some human being When l see one, even if he is two miles of, rush across the country to shake his hand and pat him on the back. even though he be the humbest of the late Mon teznma's descendants.
 But don't forget the pillsl Remem- Der this is rush order. The pay for same will probably differ from the order in that respect

A Political Sensation at Nogale.

Tuesday or the present week Jhere burst upon the public attention a political sensation of more than or dinary magnitude, which had been quietly known for several days, but it was not anticipated that 1t would come to the surface for some time. The startling story was made public through special telegram from Nogales, dated the 18th, appearing in the San Francisco Call Of Sunday.
 The gist of the story as related by the Call was that there had been d difficulty between the United States consular office at Nogales, Sonora, and the United States custom house at Nugales, Arizona, and it alleged that there had been filed with the state department at Washington an affida- wit emanating from the custom house at Nogales. accusing Consul Darnall of malfeasance in office, in extorting slOO from a Chinese merchant for viseing his certificate to pass through the United States en route to China. According to the story the state dc, partment called Darnall to account and he cleared himself from the ac- cusation. Two months later Special Agent E. s. Stokes walked into the consul's office with the avowed inten- tion of Investigating the matter upon behalf of the treasury department. Consul Darnall refused to be inves- tigated, and especially by MT. Stokes, alleging that official possessed of guilty knowledge of corrupt practi- ces at the custom house, which, he asserted, disqualified Stokes from conducting an honest investigation. The Call story went on to say that Speclal Agent Stokes, accompanied by Special Inspector Roush then went up and 'churned" the custom house a little, developing the alleged facts that several ladies and gentlemen had been carried on the pay roll without rendering service. As published the list included Mrs. Chenoweth at a salary of sl0O per month as cashier, Mrs. Aguirre as statistical clerk, Judge Eb. Williams, deputy statist tic al clerk, J. L. Hunter, janitor, and O. L. Lewis janitor. Afterward, so the story alleged, Roush secured from from Lewis an atfidavit that he had been requested to go on the pay roll to tide over a vacancy. that he would have no duties to discharge, that he had done no work, had signed pay voucher, but had received neither check or money
 The foregoing is the gist of the af- fair as published. Believing that the two officials most concerned in the matter were entitled to present their views of the case, THE OASIS editor sought them and offered the use Of these columns in which to make any statements they wished
 Consul DarDall said that he had no desire to make statement for pub lication at the present time. Before a properly authorized and fair board of investigation he would state in how far the published accounts were correct and accurate, so far as he was concerned, and wherein they were incorrect or inaccurate.
 The same courtesy was extended Mr. Chenoweth, and that official thanked the management Tor granting him the use of the columns of the paper, but stated that at the present time he was not prepared to say any thing for publication.
