Early this week THE OASIS man was at Benson and found matters in that vicinity looking we'll, all except the cattle business. The protracted drought is having a bad effect as elsewhere.
 Between Fairbank and Tomb stone graders are now at work upon the railway which is to connect the two places and give the great min ing camp connection with the out side world.
 Construction of the Phoenix X Eastern Railway between Benson and Phoenix is now assured and 1t is predicted that work will shortly begin at both ends. It is believed that the force now constructing the road between Deming and El Paso will be brought to Benson and put to work as soon as the present con- tract is completed-very shortly.
 Work upon the big Reform School building at Benson is now nearly completed, and it is anticip- ated that the contractors will turn the structure over to the territory all complete about the 10th of Sep tember. The roof is now completed and the inside finishing is being brought forward as fast as men and money will do so. It is very handsome stone structure, l2Ox55 feet, ground dimensions, with two stories and basement. As the contract price for the completed edifice is $24,713, it is manifestly one of the cheapest and best public buildings ever erected in Arizona. When the contract was let, num- Der of wiseacres insisted that the structure could not be built foI that money. But it has been built

yet his agitation led to the Boston tea party and the American revolu- tion, which gave birth to a great nation whose dearest institutions are founded upon freedom of all citizens. Wendell Phillips and William Lloyd Garrison were dis turbers," yet their persistent and pestilent agitation" finally com passed the striking of the shackles from four millions of chattel slaves.

 At Benson MT. A. J. Pidgeon, of the firm of Kirk & Pidgeon, in- formed THE OASIS man that the machinery for the new smelter is being constructed in San Francisco just as rapidly as the shops and foundry employed can do the work, and they expect to have it deliv- cred and set mp at Benson in the near future. Mir. P. stated that he is negotiating with the Southern Pacific for rates on ores, and he hopes to get such rates from Pata- gonia, Calabasas and Nogales as will enable the Benson plant to command the ores from Santa Cruz county at prices that will be re- munerative to all concerned.

A SUGGESTION.

Now that Santa Cruz county is to have a court house and jail, THE OASIS wishes to offer the board of supervisors suggestion, which, if needed, may save good deal of annoyance and will secure the county good jail at a competitive price.
 It is well known that in the United States there are several manufacturers of jail cells. Each makes his own peculiar patterns, and all are good. In each there is some detail-some locking device, or something else-which is pro- tected by letters patent. Now, If any one model is adopted in ad- vance that very adoption shuts out all other competitors. They can not supply the particular applian- ces and cannot bid. That leaves the field open to the manufacturer holding the specified patents, and he can fix almost any price he pleases upon his work.
 The proper way for the board to proceed is to advertise for bids for iail cells, to be considered on a { date, and invite all manufacturers to send representatives with speci- ! fications and working models oi their manufacture, and appliances of all kinds, submitting at the same time bids for supplying cells made after the specifications and models they submit. Then the board can institute comparisons of the various specifications and models, and the prices at which they will be fur nished. In that way each manu- facturer will be in competition with all others, and to receive con sideration his bid will have to be competitive in price He cannot shut out other bidders who dre un- able to command his special ap- pliances. If his appliances are superior he may get the contract at the same or a slightly advanced price. But he will not be granted the contract at an excessive ad vance. In that case another mode and special appliances may be SC much cheaper that they would override the superiority of his ano take the contract away from him In this particular there is pointed out way in which the county may get the best at the most reasonable price. In any other way there Il room for imposition and an impu tation of jobbery.

NOT WELL TAKEN.

There is no reasonable excuse, says an exchange, for man living in a town if he doesn't like 1t. If you have no word of commendatlon to say for your town, its institu- tions or its people, emigrate. You won't stop the course of events by going away, neither will your carp ing criticism cut any figure if you remain. The church bells will have the same musical ring, the dogs will play just as briskly, the fish will bite just as we'll and the pure air and bright sunshine will have the same health-giving properties. Speak a good word for your neigh bor if you can; if you can't, don't everlastingly enlarge on his faults. If you have become thoroughly sour and disgusted and can't see any good in your town, move away; go somewhere where you can be suited.-Graham Guardian.
 The foregoing is always the argu- ment of those who stand for moss backism and objectionable features and practices in any community. In the free United States 1t is every mans right to make his home and residence in any town that he may elect. And having selected place of residence it is his further right to stand for and advocate such public policies and private prac- tices as will tend to elevate the social and moral status of that community. The man who revolts against wrong in any town or city is a far better citizen than one who condones the wrong and glosses it over. The one who desires to perpetrate wrongs and profit by them is always dangerous citizen, It is such who are always Haunting in the faces of better men the asser- tion that If they don't like the place they can leave it." That was the Boss Tweed spirit which taunt- ed those who objected to municipal crime and corruption with the in- quiry What are you going to dc about it?" Tweed found out when he donned the prison garb
 Men who did not like their sur roundings have been the moving spirits in all reforms and in all advancement of the human race And they have been always "dis- turbers." John Hampden was a "disturber," and his refusal to pay ship money was one of the earliest acts in that popular uprising which finally brought to the block the head of despotic king, and secured the liberties of the English people Samuel Adams was a "disturber,

How to Get Rich.

Everybody wants to be rich. Here Is
a plan which will make you wealthy If
you faithfully carry 1t out. Money
makes money. No one is so poor that
he cannot rake up penny to start on.
Now, upon the first day Of the month
deposit cent in a bank, and on each
Of the succeeding thirty days Of the
month double your deposit. Follow this
program faithfully, and at the end Of
the month you will be surprised to find
that your account will show the sum
Of ten million, seven hundred and thir-
ty-seven thousand, four hundred and
eighteen dollars and twentythree cents
to your credit. With that amount all
you have to do is to retire ard let. the
other fellows hustle. If you don't be-
lieye this statement, do little sum in
arithmetic and be convinced. In the
face of such a plain and simple finan-
cial problem, who Is there that cannot
grow rich in a month and forever af-
terward snap his fingers at poverty and
labor?

If we could persuade every man in
any kind of business to advertise, says
the editor of the Jacksonville, Fla,
Metropolis, we would do it with the full
assurance that we were doing the busi-
ness public the greatest kind of favor.
The difference between a non-adver-
tising town and an advertising town is
the difference between one that Is alive
and stirring and one that is dead. The
difference between the advertising
merchant and the non-advertising mer-
chant Is the difference between q man
who pulls off his coat and rolls up his
sleeves and gets down to hard work
and pushes his business. and the man
who sits down and waits for business
to come to him. 1t is the difference be-
tween perseverance and sloth; it is the
difference between energy and laziness;
it is the difference between the active
dollar and the idle dollar; it is the differ
ence between the man of to-day and
the fossil who has notions that are
forty or fifty years old.
You look at the newspaper In any
town and scan its advertisements; see
who it is that advertises; what is ad-
vertised; how much, and you can very
readily understand what kind Of vii
lage you are going to. The business
man who understands business shys
the non-advertising town as he would
the bubonic plague. The non-advertiser
is death to enterprise and death to pro
gress.
If you are in business and are in earn
est about it you ought to just let the
public know something about yourself
by the use Of printers ink. 1t not only
gives the public information about your
business, but it helps you to do great
work in your own behalf.

Almost any big typewriter agency
has displayed, at one time or another,
some battered contrivance which is de-
clared to be "the first typewriter"
1t is beyond doubt, however. that
this decrepit machine, invented by Il.
L. p. Allen, Of Kentucky, 40 years
ago, and now in the United States
patent office, is the real original.
AS long ago as 1714 the British pat
ent office granted to Henry Mills, a
Londoner, papers patent for ian arti-
ficial writing machine" Mills machine
however, was too bulky and altogether
impracticable. Other typewriting
mechanisms followed, but until the AL
len invention was accomplished the
genuine typewriter did not come into
existence. Aliens machine really en-
bodied all the essential features of the
modern machine. Superintendent Gill,
of the patent office, vouches for the
priority of the invention here pictured.

The grocer who wants to sell you a
Baking Powder of certain brand be-
cause it is cheap, generally has very
little to say of its quality. Poor,
cheap, alum Baking Powders are worse
than none at all-are positively injuri-
Gus to health. By chemical analysis,
Monopole Baking Powder tests higher
in quality and purity than any other
sold in this country. Try 1t and if you
don't think so your grocer will refund
your money. If your grocer doesn't t
handle Monopole groceries, send his
name to Wadhams & Kerr Bros, Port

THE TWlNE SITUATION.
Market Has Been Advancing and Prices Are
Firm

Some idea of the magnitude of the
sales of twine may be gained from the
fact that during the first nine months
OF the current fiscal year, the value of
fiber imports into the United States
was nearly $23 900, 100000.
Every man in the Northwest who
has to do with the harvesting of crops
is interested in this matter. Many
have pursued the old time policy OF
waiting" for break in the prices be-
fore they buy their twine, but, for
many reasons, this year prospects are
that prices will remain practically un-
changed, and certainly not lowered,
as as the fiber for this harvest's twine
has been already purchased. Some of
the largest houses have sold all the
irvine they will be able to produce for
the coming harvest, and are therefore
out of the market. In few instances
it is known in the trade that travel
ing salesmen and manufacturers have
cut wholesale prices in order to induce
dealers to enlarge their orders for i'm
pie nents, etc. But this has not been so
largely done as in former years, and
probably will not affect general prices
at all. Prices have rarely been so firm
a. at present; that is to say, there has
seldom been SO little shading of the
established prices. In past seasons at
this period, manufacturers and jobbers
complained frequently of cutting by
competitors. Just now no complaints
of this kind are heard.
To sum up the situation there is not
in the fiber prices any warrant for re-
ducing the quotations on twine, and it
probably is the best advice that can be
given to dealers generally to suggest
that they do not hesitate in buying all
the twine they need at the present
market price.
We note that the sales of Standard
Twine are not nearly so heavy this year
as they formerly we're. This is only a
repetition OF all past experience, that
when an an article is gotten up to de-
ceive or in imitation OF better one, it
is only question of time when it is
found out and is forced down to its in
trinsic value.

NATIONAL CUSTOMS.
Sir Charles Napier Was Perfectly
willing to Observe Them.


When Sir Charles Napier was exer-
cising military rule in India, he show
ed extraordinary skill as an admins
traitor. He availed himself as much as
possible of the framework of govern
ment previously existing, and used
wonderful tact in answering the Hin
du mind according to its own form of
thought.
Make no avoidable change In the
ancient laws and customs" he said to
his subordinates. "The conquest of
country Is sufficient CONFUSION for the
people, without abrupt changes In
their habits and social life"
One custom, however, he did abolish,
and his method of doing it showed his
wisdom in Enthusiastically This was
the practice of sutteeism-the burning
of widows Oh the funeral piles Of their
husbands; and he not only put his foot
firmly down on it, but met counter ar
guments in the only manner possible.
The custom had been formally abol.
ished by Lord William Bentwick, In
1879; out evidently II was still prac-
ticed dozen years later when Sir
Charles was in india.
When he proclaimed his intention of
suppressing sutteeism, the priests
came to him to protest, on the ground
that all nations had customs to be re-
spected, and that sutteeism was one Of
them. Napier affected to be impressed
by the argument
BE it so," said he. 'The burning Of
widows is your custom. Prepare the
pile. But my nation has also Gus
tom. When men burn women alive,
we hang them and confscate all their
property. My carpenters shall there
fore erect gibbets, on which every one
concerned in Widows burning shall
be hanged. Let us all act according to
national custom"

IN A RACK OF FIRE.
Boy Imprisoned in Big Chandelier of
Drury Lane Theater.

Drury Lane Theater.
To cling to the network of rods on
a huge chandelier, roasting in the up
rushing heat of hundreds of gas burn
ers, with a drop of ninety feet be-
neath-this is an experience the men,
ory of which still makes Mr.. Frank
Parker shudder. The circumstances
are told in the Strand Magazine.
Before the day of electric lights
Drury Lane Theater was Illuminated
by a great gasolier. eighteen feet
across the base. 1t hung ON stout
chains twelve feet long, and was fed
by pipes coming down through a man
hole in the ceiling. Close to this man
hole was circular crown of burners; a
larger circle ran round the bottom of
the chandelier; and in addition. has
kets" of lights were grouped at inter-
walls about the lower rim.
The boy who lighted this glitterlng
mass of jets and flashing prisms was
Frank Parker, youth of II. AS no
automatic spark had then been de-
vised, the method of lighting was
primitive one. Parker used to go into
the garret above the ceiling and reach
down through the manhole with long
pole, at the end of which was a spirit
torch. In doing this he had to be very
careful not to break any Of the glass
pendants, which, if loosened, might un-
der the great heat drop off during
performance and kill some one in the
pit.
One night, as Parker reached down
to light the lower range of lights and
the basket clusters, he knocked the
pole against a string of glass prisms,
which came loose at one end and
swung down, supported only by small
copper wire.
Then he remembered the words Of
the manager: IF any of the crystals
come loose, break them off at all costs.
They are dangerous"
So Parker, without hesitation, climb
ed down through the manhole upon the
interlaced rods and braces Of the chan
delier, which swayed slowly above the
black pit
As he let himself down through the
hoop of lights which formed the top
of the chandelier, his lamp caught the
circle of open jets, and the flame ran
round in a succession of sputters, one
light catching from another, as row
of dominoes falls. There he was, i'm
prisoned between fire above and dark
ness below.
At first he did not notice his peril, for
he was intent on breaking off the dan
gerous cluster of prisms. With great
difficulty he reached it and knocked 1t
into the pit. The pause before 1t struck
told him how deep the chasm lay be-
meath him. Then he looked up and
realized his position, for there was. the
circle of blazing jets above him barring
the way to the manhole.
The heat and poisonous fumes of
hundreds of lights rushed over him up
through the ventilator. He called for
help. The minutes slipped by. The
rods he clung to grew hot. Then, when
he had almost given up hope, the head
lightman heard his cries and rushed
up, over the grille. through the dark
garret to the manhole. Turning off the
lights, he lay down, as one does to pull
drowning man from a hole, reached
through the opening, and, seizing Par
kers arms, drew him up to safety.
