THE Santa Rita Cattle Co.,, by MT. Cameron, the principal owner, and MT. J. E. Wise, assure THE OASIS that they have no more land under fence than they own, and that they have not illegally fenced one acre of the public domain. Against their assertion THE OASIS has the unqualified statements of many citizens of good standing. The proper way to settle this matter is by an official investi- gation by the proper officials of the United States land bureau. Such official can look the ground over and decide whether the lands are illegally fenced or not. If the decision of the proper officials that the lands are not illegally fenced they should stand; if the lands effected are enclosed in violation of the law the fences should come down.

A Destructive Blaze.

Early Thursday morning the resi- dence of Mrs. Frank Main, on Sonoita avenue and Caflon street, was dis covered to be on fire by people resid- ing in the immediate vicinity, who at once gave the alarm.
 The firing Of pistol shots, blowing Of the electric plant whistle and changing of fire bells soon brought large number of people to the scene of the conflagration.
 The fire department, assisted by by- islanders, worked hard but the fire had gained so strong headway that it was impossible to save the building, which was soon burned to the ground, nothing but the walls left standing
 The property was not very heavily insured and Mrs. Main states that it would be hard to estimate the loss, for besides the building and household effects, the fire destroyed a very valuable collection of curios, the work of life time, consisting of arti- cles and valuable coins from all over the world
 Mrs Main was absent from home on the night of the fire as she had been spending the evenings for a week with her daughter, Mrs Marsh, and she states that there has not been a fire ih any of the stoves in the house for week. The fire is supposed to have been incendiary

THE Citizen states that Brigadier General Harrison Gray Otis was lieutenant-colonel of the regiment of which President Mo Kinley was major in the war of I86I-5 In which statement the Citizen is just about as accurate as it is ever-for instance as accurate as when it asserted there was no A. P. A organization in Pima county. Me Kinley and Otis were both captains in the same regiment. Their titles as major and colonel, respectively, were conferred after the war, by brevet commissions.

 With the foregoing statement of facts every objection to segregation is swept away. The legislators understand that, and some of those who opposed Papago county are now doing all they can to help create Santa Cruz county.

CHINESE IN MEXICO.

Recently THE OASIS published a communication from Hermossillo touching upon the Chinese problem as it is now developing in Sonora. The writer is a gentleman now in business in the capital of that state, having lived long in California where he witnessed the harm done by the influx of the yellow horde into the Golden State, and resided there through all that great politi- cal movement which ended in the Chinese exclusion act. In calling attention to the insidious encroach- ment of the Mongolian upon home capital and labor the Hermosillo writer is no idle alarmist. He knows by too profound an exper- fence, how the Mongol;an, once having obtained foothold, quietly elbows out of business and em- ployment the native people of any country where once a foot hold is obtained, and he calls the attention of the Mexican authorities to the menace confronting their people, so they may act before it is too late-or before this objectionable population secures such a hold that exclusion or regulation can be secured after a severe struggle only.
 In this connection it is the in- terest of the United States to en- courage Mexico in the adoption oi an exclusion law. Through the open ports of Mexico come the most of those Chinese who clan deSt1nely enter the United States, in evasion of our exclusion act. It is almost impossible to catch them at the border and many of them succeed in getting through. It is much easier to catch and turn them back at sea ports. Had Mexico an exclusion act it would work at all points where efforts at exclus- ion are most likely to be effective. Such an act enforced at Guaymas and Mazatlan, would keep out of Mexico those who are crossing the border so freely into the United States, and save the government of the latter a great deal of futile and fruitless labor. A Mexican exclusion act would be good for the people of Mexico, but it would also benefcially affect the United States, for which reason our own government, if possible, might take up the matter with the Mexican government

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY.


 which emasculated the PapagC county bill, its friends assisted in killing the measure, and a new bill reaching the same ends has this week been introduced in the house It is known as the Santa Cruz county bill and provides for creation of county of that name, Several legislators who were op- posed to the measure originally, having visited and investigated the region included in the proposed new county, are now espousing the good cause, and there is a strong probability of the enactment of the measure.
 In this connection the intention of this article is not to present anew the many cogent reasons why the new county should be created, but to call attention to some of the inaccuracies presented by the opponents of the Papago county bill, who will also oppose creation of Santa Cruz county.
 The Tucson board of trade pub- lished and circulated among the legislators a statement of alleged facts, which enormously went to show that by division taxation would be increased in Pima county from S2.55 per one hundred dollars of taxable property to $500, and in Papago county to S2.6o. That statement was inaccurate and erroneous in several important part iculars. First the tax rate in Pima county has been two dollars and fifty five cents but one year -ISo8-and that was on account of windfall of twenty thousand dollars which came from a decision of the courts compelling some heavy taxpayers who had in previous years contested to pony up" in full for those back taxes.
 With that twenty thousand dollars in the treasury the board was enabled to reduce the rate from three dollars and twenty-five cents to the rate stated-two fifty five. Three dollars and twenty five cents are about the normal rate of taxation; such was the rate in 1897, ard such will be the rate in 1899, whether the county is divided or not. The alleged rates of S3.9o and S3.6o respectfully for the two counties in case of division were reached by a deliberate sup pression by the board of trade in their calculations, of important and valuable sources of revenue. In making their figures they calculate the probable expense of running each county, and then calculate what per cent of the tax roll those amounts would reach. That is how they calculated a tax rate of $3.9o for Pima county, and S3.6o for PaDapO cO1ntv Tn there caic-
