Tax Listers Will Keep Open Saturday
Night,

The tax listers announce that for ac-
commodation of mechanics and laborng
people generally they will keep thcir
office in the court house open on SatG:-
day night until o'clock. This they
think will give to those who cannot con-
veniently get off to list their taxes in
the day an opportunity to do so at
night.
So far the work of tax listing is pro-
crossing slowly. The number of people
who have listed their property being
rather below what it usually is for the
first three days.

the past year or two land it has proved
to be a most admirable custom), hac sent

women to be beautiful, but not that this
should be their end in life.
He then spoke of the influence of
Christianity upon the sphere of woman S
influence and life. He first portrayed the
condition of women before the advent of
Christianity and in those lands where
Christianity does not exist. In Africa,
she is even now little more than a
beast of burden, is sold as a chattel and
her condition is exceedingly degraded.
Among the nations that know not Christ,
woman is either the servant or the toy.
The Buddhist religion makes her the
slave of her husband and dwarfs and
stunts her womanly nature.
But with the advent of Christianity, wo-
mans emancipation came, and under its
benignant rays she approXimates her
true sphere. Christianity brought the ex-
altation and glorification of womanhood
1t made her. not the slave of her husband
but the mistress of the home, and gave
her an influence than which none are more
potent or widespread.
Then women, who owe their eXaltation
to the influence of Christianity, should be
for Christ. They have an influence which
they should WELD for good. The whole
world is their field of effort. In the homes
training the hearts of the young, she is
almost all powerful. The boy may be
father to the man, but the woman is
mother to the boy.

amount of work that is being done by the

cases of the latter sort. However
 it is the method of the Mexican law. and applies to all alike. Some
 modification of the law should be devised to remove its hardshils s in cases such as cause so mut h trouble in the railway traffic of the republic
 But to secure such a modification seems to be the province of dip lomacy. The locomotive engineers and e nductors in Mexico, who are nearly if not quite all American citizens, should take up the matter in due form with the state depart ment at Washington, and request negotiation of treaty with Mexico which will bring about the neces- sary modification of the Mexican code by which unavoidable railway accidents shall not be classed as crimes, and that those who gre un- fortunately in charge where they occur shall not be treated as crim- inals, but shall be subjected only to such examinations as in similar cases are conducted in the United States. If such examinations dem- onstrate them criminally culpable then let the authorities vigorously prosecute them. The Mexican government is reasonable, and if taken up in the right way this fruit ful cause for friction can be readily removed.

pectors from Soyopa, Sonora, had come into Fl Paso with report that the Yaquis were depredating in that vicinity and'were threaten ing to attack the town. Another mere fabrication.
 Before now THE OASIS has had occasion to express most earnest condemnation of this promulgation of false reports about Sonora em- anating from Fl Paso. The only object for these persistent and con- tinued misrepresentations seems to be to divert capital from Sonora with hope that, instead, it will go into Chihuahua-the state trib- ulary to Fl Paso. If so it is a blind and foolish object. By these silly fabrications men and money may be kept out of Sonora, but 1t by no means follows that they will go to Chihuahua. Usually when men of means prepare to embark in new field they do so through solicitation of those whom they know working in that field. They are willing to trust those other men they know. To frighten them out of the proposed venture does not secure them for another invest ment somewhere else. It simply causes them to lock up their money at home, or invest it there where they know it will be safe. Nothing is ever gained by the course pur- sued by the Fl Paso papers and Associated Press agent.

AT THEIR OLD TRICKS.

The Fl Paso papers and the As sociated Press correspondent in that city have returned to their old practice of publishing and distrib- uting broadcast senseless and un- warranted canards about matters in Sonora. A couple of weeks ago MT. E. V. B. Hoes, who is developing the San Marcial coal measures, about forty miles from Ortiz station, was in Fl Paso, upon his way from the City of Mexico. Taking ad- vantage of his presence one of the Fl Paso papers published a fictitious interview with MT. Hoes in which he was quoted as saying that another serious outbreak of the Yaquis had occurred, making travel and transaction of business pre- carious in large region of country, the Indians had attacked bis men, compelling abandonment of the work at the coal mines, and he had also been obliged to defer construc- ton of the railway for which he had secured a concession.
 Mir. Hoes has requested THE OASIS to deny the alleged inter view. While in Fl Paso he made none of the allegations with which he was accredited in the alleged interview, the Yaquis have made no trouble in the vicinity of San Marcial. travel and. traffic are per fectly safe in all the surrounding region, MT. Hoes men have not been attacked, work has not been abandoned, and construction of the projected railway will be in no wise delayed. Everything there is go- ing along as it was, and the gentle man is naturally greatly vexed at having been so misquoted.
 Again on Thursday of last week the Associated Press correspondent sent out a telegram which was published all over the country, stating that two American pros
