The Nogales town council met in regular session Monday evening, March 9th. Present, Mayor Overton, COuncimen Proto and Vasquez. Ab- sent, Marsh and Schoonmaker.
 Tbe mayor stated that in accord ance with the request or a majority of the members of the council he had arranged with the railroad company to furnish surveyor to survey the townsite. substantially on the terms allowed in the agreement between the preceding council and MT. J. A. Naugle of the railway company.

Another Batch.

A volunteer correspondent of the San Francisco call. whose account of affairs at the Nogsles custom house was synoptized in the last issue of THE OASIS, sent that paper another batch of information on Monday, and it ap- peared in Tuesdays issue of that journal.
 The gist of it was that merchant who had been receiving unwarranted favors from the custom house had as- saulted Special Inspector Roush for interfering with his enjoyment of special privileges, in stopping the practices whereby he obtained the privileges. The allegation was that barbed wire of American manufac- ture, but made from foreign wire, was shipped from the factory to Guaymas. On exportation the duty paid on the foreign wire used in the manufacture was drawn back But, the Call al- legged, the barbed wire was not ex- ported, but was unloaded at Nogales, Arizona, thus defrauding the gov ernment of the drawback. To do that the government seals on the bonded cars had to be broken, and, so the story alleges, it was for that Roush interfered, as breaking of such seals within the United States is a penal offence.
 The Call article under consideration had also another charge against the customs officials at Nogales, viz: tampering with civil service examina- tons. The sum and substance of the story was when it was desired by those running things at the custom house, that candidate should pass the examination questions sent from Washington were surreptitiously opened, the problems wrought out and the questions answered, by very competent gentleman on the inside, and the papers then returned to the envelope and sealed The wroght | problems and answers to the ques- tions written out on slips of paper, were given to the elect, and | they went to the examination with nothing to do but write down what was given them.
 As before the use of these columns to make any statement he wishes, has been extended Collector Chenoweth, and the proffer was politely declined. l

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

OF the senatorial situation the Sac
Sun has this to say: 1T probably is
safe to say that neither the managers
of the Gear nor the Cummins campaign
for United States senator are as conf
dent of success as they would like to be-.
The friends OF Senator Gear. however,
are doing most of the shouting, and the
winning of several contested counties
recently entities them to growing con-
fldence. The notable Cummins victories
in Poweshiek and Pocahontas earlier in
the campaign are Offset by the loss of
Muscatine county the past week. The
press Is becoming less neutral and
many newspapers hitherto unable to ex-
press opinions are Joining what they
believe to be the victorious Gear process
sion. If they simply want to be in with
confident expression for knowledge of
success
The following good word for the Aud
ubon county republican ticket come:
from the Audubon Republican: 1.-THE
republicans Of this county have SPLEEN
did ticket in nomination this fall and 1t
should have the enthusiastic support OF
every republican in the county. The
nominees are all men of ability and
men peculiarly we'll qualified for the
positions to which they are nominated
They are men who take we'll with the
people and we hope and believe that.
they will all be elected. They will likely
all be around to see most of the voters
before election. Give them proper en-.
scouragement and assist them in their
canvass
The Ames Times INDUCES in the fol-
lowing declarations: wv. O. Payne, of
the Representative, has been dubbed
the mathematician of the Cummins
campaign. Billy is long on figures and
oftentimes hits the nail on the head.
which we sincerely hope he will do on
this OCCASION
Some cheerful advice is offered by the
rama Herald as follows: When Will
candidates learn that poor cigar is a
mighty poor investment in a political
campaign? If we We're in possession of
a foghorn voice that could animate the
Tama county echoes from Highland to
Geneseo and back again by way of
Grant and Salt Creek we would advise
every candidate in the county to ped
die no cigars worth less than IS cents a
hundred. Some of the cigars that have
been foisted upon an unsuspecting peo-
pie in this campaign drive men to
strong drink, break up happy homes
and incidentally help elect the other
fellow to office. In conclusion, dearly
beloved, look not upon a 'twofer' when
it is red-for it biteth like serpent and
Istingeth like an adder and whosoever is
deceived thereby is not wise"

T TOPICS OF THE TIMES

Burke Cochran appeared before the
trust conference last evening and it is
to say entertained his hearers
He congratulated the conference upon
its evident Intention to subordinate par
tisan feeling to the search for truth.
The Chinese may be very inferior
race, but one named Chung was clever
enough to pull the wool over United
States consurs eyes.
Now Mark Twain is to have his way
about the court dress of American dip
lomats. 1t is given out at Washington
that Secretary Hay favors the adoption
of court uniform to replace the plain
black which has become so conspicu-
ously absurd in the face of the prevail
ing customs of the day. II congress
would decide to treble the salaries of all
our representative in foreign lands and
provide them with elegant residences
Mark would be supremely happy.
In one town in Iowa a citizens COM
mittee visited the various business
houses and requested the removal of the
Slot machines on the ground that being
a gambling device they exerted de-
moralizing influence. 1t is reported that
their efforts We're successful and may
well be followed in every town.
A few days ago it was remarked that
| Iowa towns had suffered very few fires
this summer. but since then such acct
dents have been coming thick and fast.
| Another step in the right direction
| has been taken at the State Agricul-
tural College, in the establishment of a
course of road building experiments.
Better roads we must have and the
sooner we have educated men to build
them the sooner will we get them.
