The Cattle Outlook.

Numerous cattle men are in No- gales, the most part of them from California, locking up small punches of cattle, but the season for shipment to that range is about over, and it is more than likely that the Arizona range will begin to fill up.
 Cattle men state that the benefits of the late heavy rains are already apparent, and that few weeks more will show fine grass on the ranges, by which time also it is hoped the sprIng rains will appear.
 About the 7th prox. train load of TOO head will be passed, to go to Mr. Donlan, of Ventura, Cal. This is the only big shipment of Sonora cattle now in sight, although negotiations are on foot for several small punches of steers, yearlings and calves, mostly to Arizona parties. All in all the outlook is good for the coming season.

A High school.

There is law providing for the es- tablishment of high schools in Ari- zona where ''any school district of two thousand or more inhabitants may, by a majority vote of the qualified cleo tors thereof, establish and maintain a high school; *n
 An OASIS reporter was discussing the subject with gentleman high in the educational circles of the city and he stated high school can be main- tained in this city for but a trife more than the cost of a teacher, in- asmuch as there are two rooms in the public school building which are va- cant, and are not apt to be in demand for public school purposes for nun Der of years.
 A little figuring showed that with taxable valuation of half million it would require levy of but about three mills to give Nogales the advantage of high educational facilities, and it is apparent that such is needed and the need will grow yearly.
 Nogales is growing, is the county seat, and is the commercial, educa- tional and judicial center of vast tract of country. The suggestion of the gentleman alluded to is worthy of much thought.

4 nrldge Across the Arroyo.


 Last Saturday evening there was held called meeting of the Nogales (AriZOna town board to consider a proposition for erecting stone bridge across the arroyo, to connect the south end of Sonoita avenue with the north end of the Calle Trece de Julio. Mir. Ignacc Bonillas, presidente of the municipality of Nogales, Sonora, was present and laid before the board plans for stone bridge with two arches. to be erected at the point in- dicated. and proposition for joint construction thereof. MT. Bonillas stated that the municipality of No gales, Sonora, had received bid from the contractor to construct bridge in accordance with the plans and specif fications for $3O0O Mexican money: and that the ayuntamiento of No gales, Sonora, would contribute s2c00 of that amount, to be paid as the the work progresses, and inaugurate the construction, if the town govern ment of Nogales, Arizona, would guar antee payment of the remaining 5000 $500 gold upon completion of the structure.
 A proposition was made that the town government appropriate part of the amount. and secure the balance by subscription. MT. A. L. Peck, who was present, volunteered to subscribe S25 gold, and Councilman Ramon Vas quez volunteered to subscribe $50, gold, which Councilman Anton Proto followed with another contribution of s25 gold
 Finally, upon motion of Councilman Vasquez, seconded by Councilman Proto, it was voted that the town gov ernment appropriates from s200, gold, to s300, gold, to build an approach to such bridge, and to appeal to citizens for subscriptions to complete the sum needed.
 Monday morning Councilman Vas -quez and MT. w. Schuckman started out with subscription, and in very short time had over $500 pledged to apply on the work It is reported the contract has been signed. At any rate the bridge needed so bad, is an assured fact, thanks to the energy of business men of the two line cities.

startled, bur did not think anything seri-
Gus had happened until smoke began 10
come through the passage toward ME.
Immediately knew that fire must have

which direction the smoke came. When I
