Among the tales told Christmas
morning by the invalids at the hospi-
tai was the following suggestion as
the explanation of the custom of Kiss
ing under the mistletoe at Christmas
time.
I'm many primitive tribes when the
chief or king dies there ensues wild
period of general license, an orgy Of
anarchy, till the new king Is chosen.
During this terrible interregnum or
lordship of misrule. when every man
does that which is right in his own
eyes, all things are lawful: or. rather,
there are no laws, no lawgiver. no
executive.
But as soon as the new chief is
elected, everything is changed; the
community assumes at once it's won't
ed responsibility.
1t is probable that the midwinter
orgy is similarly due to the cutting

Quarantine of Sonora Cattle.

Last week it was announced that the United States cattle sanitary bureau of the department of agri- culture at Washington, had decred a quarantine upon Sonora cattle for the reason that Texas fever had developed among some of the recent shipments from that state. As a matter of protection for Amer ican ranches, herds and ranges the quarantine is decreed. At the time it was first announced the date for taking effect was said to be Jan uary 2d, but there seems to have been an error in that particular, for shipments are still crossing the line, and it is now stated that ex- clusion does not take effect until February 1st. The effect of the new regulation will be to termin- ate business which has been very profitable to many in southern Arizona.

 Mir. A. Graves, manager for the Alma Mining Company, operating some very valuable copper mines about twenty-five miles west from Carbo, has gone to Denver, taking with him a large quantity of ores from their properties, from which working tests, to determine the best processes for reduction, will be made at both El Paso and Denver. In his absence the oper- ations are in the hands of his son Mr. Nelson D. Graves. About
 
 twenty men are working in the property, and fine ore is coming out.

4 GOOD RECOMMENDATION

'I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's Stomach & Liver Tablets is almost invariably to those who have once used them" says Mr. J H Weber, a prominent druggist of Cascade, Iowa. What better recommendation could any medicine have than for people to call for it when again in need of such remedy? Try them when you feel dull after eating, when you have bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious, have no appe- tite or when troubled with consti- patton, and you are certain to be delighted with the prompt relief which they afford.

Notice to Advertisers.

By actual count, as delivered to subscribers by their respective car- riers, the circulation of THE OASIS in Nogales exceeds that of the Vidette by more than double-the exact ratio being as 225 are to 100, in favor of THE OASIS.
 By weight at the post office and express office the outside circula- tiou of THE OASIS exceeds that of the Vidette in quadruple or quin- tuple ratio, THE OASIS paying postage upon sixty-fiye pounds of papers each week, while the Vii. dette's postage bills do not exceed twenty pounds per week, besides which THE OASIS pays express charges on papers sent to many subscribers through that method of transportation.
 These are facts which advertisers wish to know in determining the value of any newspaper for ad- vertising purposes.
 While stating the above facts for advertisers it is also approp- riate to say for public information that THE OASIS pays three times as much money in taxes as does the Vidette, and that its pay roll is nearly or quite double that of it's contemporary The promulgation of these facts has been rendered necessary by recent public occur ences.

CANANEA RAILWAY. Completed and in 0per- ation Between Naco
 and La Cananea.
Regular Freight and Passenger Service
 lnsugurated Thursday.

Saturday evening the railway of the Green Consolidated Copper Company connecting the big cop- per camp at La Cananea, Sonora, Mexico, with the American railway system at Naco, the terminus, upon the international boundary of the Naco branch of the Fl Paso x Southwestern railway, was com pleted into La Cananea, at a dis tance of forty miles from Naeo; and Thursday of the present week regular freight and passenger traffic was inaugurated over the new line.
 The completion of this new line of railway means great deal in the development of the great min ing enterprise at La Cananea, the phenomenal growth of which has attracted world wide attention, and has within short time placed in the front rank of American mining magnates MT. William c. Greene, whose indomitable per severance and energy have created bustling thriving city where but few years ago there was only a small Mexican village, have given rise to one of the most colossal copper reduction plants in the world, and have developed one of the greatest producing copper prop critics anywhere contributing to supply the tremendous require ments of modern civilization.
 As heretofore mentioned in THE OASIS the daily capacity of the present plant at La Cananea is for reduction of about 800 tons of ore, but other stacks now in course of construction will soon raise the capacity to 1900 tons daily, when the monthly output will exceed six million pounds of refined copper A line of narrow guage railway, hUOul lilittil uilltS III lCllStll, lii- cluding switchbacks and sidings, connects the mines with the reduc- ton works, trains running to the tops of the ore bins and dumping their loads of ore right above the furnace doors. Everything in the way of machinery and machine equipment, on the railways, at the mines, and at the reduction works is of the very best workmanship and quality, and the methods of management are the most modern and effective that the highest grade of talent in every department can accomplish. A railway traffic built upon an industrial enterprise so colossal, is bound to be colossal of itself; and the new line new completed and in operation has been constructed with a view to meeting the requirements thereof in every way. The first class con struction shown throughout reflects great credit upon the chiefengineer, MT. k. A. Mcfarland.

Atlanta, Ga, June 12, 1902,
Hon. j. FL. Estill, Savannah, Ga.
Dear Sir: Your communication dated
yesterday. June IL, was received last
night between and z O'Clock, and I
take the first opportunity to reply.
| note the following In your COM
munication:
II am quite we'll aware of the fact
that the convention Will be the exclus-
i've judge of the election returns and
qualifications of it's own members. and
| am not asking you, or the committee,
to decide this question.
| fully concur with you in the fore
going.
The Only request you make is as
follows:
"AlI I ask is that recount be order
ed in the counties I have named, SO
that the convention will have before it
evidence upon which to act in case of a
contest over the seat of any county del
egation."
In regard to this, I beg to say that I
know of no law or party precedent,
which would authorize or permit the
state executive committee, or me, as
its chairman, to order recount, re-
quested by you.
However, if you present me with any
law, or any party precedent, or submit
any sound reasons which would seem
to indicate that the state executive
committee, or it's chairman, has any
such authority, it will afford me pleas
ure to take the sense of the entire COM
mittee upon the question. Yours very
truly. e. T. BROWN,

His Last Hope Realized.

From the Sentinel, Gebo Mont
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers In 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine day
in April. During his travelling about
and afterwards his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad water,
which together with the severe heat,
gave him very severe diarrhoea
which it seemed almost impossible to
check, and along in June the case be-
came SO bad he expected to die. One
day one of his neighbors brought him
one small bottle of Ohamberlain's Collie,
Che lera and Diarrhoea Remedy as last
hope. A big dose was given him while
he was rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in few minutes the
dose was repeated. The good effect of
the medicine was soon noticed and
within an hour the patient was taking
his first sound sleep for a fortnight.
