A Word to Gossips.

Gossiping is probably the most artistic
vice practiced by women. 1t is likewise
The most corrupt and far-reaching in the
evil of its influence. The woman who
gossips is a social leper. She is worse.
She is afflicted with aggressive Ieprosy,
taxing endless pains to spread the raw
ages of her disease, For it is a disease,
indicating mental, physical and spiritual
arrangement.
a healthy mind seeks the truth. The
;nind of the gossip ignores it, says Col
Her Weekly. For if such a rarity ever
AYed as a gossip who did not exaggerate,
she still ignores the truth. A part of a
truth Is no truth at all And what COS
sip who treats her fellow gossips to a bit
OF scandal ever repeats with it the extern
uatlhg circumstances or dwells upon the
virtues which must be present in the
character she is Dlackening?

l cannot help thinking. being of a
rather antiquated and artistic turn of
mind, that civilization has its drawbacks.
/ Will not discuss the fact that civil
cation, creating, as it does. new desires
and new wants, and failing, as il does
also, to enable all the members OF the
community to indulge in them. must
create discomfort and Jealousy, and there
fore fail to great extent to increase the
happiness of the masses of the people.
No, this is not the thought which pre-
occupies me. What | mean to infer is
that civilization tends to destroy the pic
turesque and romantic sides of life and to
make us all more comfortable, it is true.
more practical, no doubt but also more
mqtter-of-fact, that is to say, less poetic.
For instance, travelling is not now in
tereStlng and picturesque as it was in the
Old coaching days. Now YOU buy a
ticket and you give it up; you start and
YOU arrive-that's travelling. Formerly
you saw the landscape, stopped at quaint
AIMS, and had adventures on the road

character; but, at all events, travelling
appealed to your Imagination and stirred

! Song TO Brave Women.

They were married in the autumn when the
leaves were turning gold,
And the mornings bore a menace Of the
winters coming cold;
Side by side they stood and prom sed, hand
in hand, 10 walk through lie,
And the parson said. God bless vOu"' as
Renamed them man and wife
They had little wealth 10 aid them: Nt+le
of the world they knew:
But he whispered: oh. my darling, I have
richest haye-you."
Then they vowed that, walking ever side
by side and hand in hand.
They would gain the distant SUBMITS Of
their far-of, happy land.
Side by side they walked together. unger-
ing sometimes for kiss,
Dreaming of those far-off SUBMITS, of the
futures perfect bliss;
But the battle-stress was ON them, and the
fOeman babe them yield
And their onward steps We're hidden by the
smoke upon the field:
And his heart grew faint within him as he
murmured: 4 must fall.
For the foeman presses ever, ana his co.
hOrts conquer all
But the woman, loyal ever. whispered:
You shall win
You shall snatch the victors laurel from
the battle-strife and din
Then again he struggled onward though
his wounds We're gaping wide
Listening ever for Il whispcr-"I am bat
Ting By your side"
Struggling onward, struggling ever. though
Beaten downward by the foeman lost in
mists of gloom and doubt;
Still he. heard that gentle whisper that his
spirit must obey
Till he reached the golden SUBMITS past
the bCrder-land OF gray.
Then the world as wise as ever. said.
Behold conqnerins. knight"
For it never heard the whisper that had
urged MIN to the height.
Call it fable. fable only; 10, the world is
full of these
Men who struggle onward, upward, till the

Men who stumble, stumble often. dazel o.

But to rise and faIter forward at the

 the continual construction of build
 ings in those two cities which an-
 nually consume large quantities of
 cement, and great irrigation en-
 terprises in Southern California
 which cement their ditches, and in
 many instances construct miles of cement pipe to convey the water
 The ramifcation of suburban rail-
 ways in Southern California, now
 projected and in course of con- struction, will require also great quantities of cement, as will also big union depot in Los Angeles now contemplated To meet all these demands there must be great importation of cement. If the Arizona deposits are utilized the foreign artlcle may be exclud- ed.
 The deposits discovered by Mr. Lulley are pronounced by com petent experts to be the purest and best marl and gypsum ever dis covered, and their product will be the very best. Their value is in- salculable, and they need only ,apital and intelligent manage nent to make them the nucleus of | great and valuable industry.

ARIZONA IS WILLING.

SAN DIEGO, April 1s.-A petition
 IS being prepared in this city for
 presentation to the meeting of the
 supervisors to be held in May.
 asking that the government of
 Arizona be communicated with to
 the end that d joint commission be
 appointed from the territory and
 from San Diego county to meet in
 the near future and discuss the feasibility of bringing the question of annexing San Diego county to the territory of Arizona before congress.
 The foregoing appeared in the telegraphic news columns of the Los Angeles Herald of last Satur- day. Arizona is willing to accept annexation of San Diego county, and all the people here would be greatly gratified could it be affect ed. It would add to the territory a goodly population and taxa ble values to the amount of many millions of dollars, which would rem owe the only argument held against admission as state. It would give also at San Diego metropolitan city with a deep har- bor which would be the principal port in the new and enlarged state. But the questi on is would Califor- mia consent to such segregation of her territory? Under provision of he constitution of the United States no state can be deprived of any part of its territory without it's own consent, expressed by legis- -ative enactment. Can that con sent be secured from California?

THE NEW OHIO Law.

A press telegram dated the 10th, from Columbus, Ohio, conveyed the following:
 All quasi-public corporations must pay into the state treasury tax of per cent. on their gross incomes, and all private corpora tons must pay tax of one tenth of per cent on their capital stock. These two laws were passed bv the Senate today. The house had already passed them, and they will go into effect at once. Together the new laws will add over $2 .0OO.- GOO a year to the state treasury.
 In recent editorial this very matter was presented, and the press account of the new Ohio law is right in line with the claim of THE OASIS that taxation of the capital stock of Arizona corpora tions would be q very fruitful source of revenue to the territory. There is no doubt that an enact ment properly drawn would yield sufficient revenue to pay all the expense of running the territorial government.

THE Citograph, of Redlands, is devoting a great deal of attention to Arizona matters, and it treats them with q perspicacity and clear ness which shows that MT. Craig has made study of the Territory and its resources. The Citograph is one of the finest newspapers in the country. It originated the style of four columns to the page. with as many pages as necessary, which THE OASIS initiated, and has since been adopted by many other papers in Arizona.

CANNOT REACH THEM.

The question now arises who is going to make w. NJ. Hoey even in the good name which has been stained by false reports. false sus- picions and false accusations. re- sulting in the loss of reputation, in the loss of a high and honorable office with a good salary? Who is going to make Mir. Hoey even for the loss ofall these things? Who is going to make him even for the cost of defending himself against false accusations? Mir. Hoey has been ruined financially. Some one is responsible for all this.-Star
 The foregoing gives rise to many suggestive ideas. The Star is per- fectly right in the assertion that someone should be made to pay a penalty for the injustice, wrong and damage done MT Hoey. But how will or can it be done2 The government might and could re- instate Mr Hoey in the office from which he was so swiftly and un- justly removed (Mr. Doane could and should be advanced to another and better position, in order to do sol, but that would not repay Mr Hoey for the damage done him. Webb and Dickey might be sent to the pententiary for the-conspiracy they matched against Hoey but Chat wouldn't recoup him for the losses he has suffered The. real culprits in the affairare as yet un- touched. That was some one back of and behind all this business in which Webb and Dickey came to the front, and they should be made to pay the penalty. But they cannot be reached.

q BIC INDUSTRY POSSIBLE.

The recent discovery of immense
 deposits of gypsum, mari and lime
 made by Mark Lulley in Pima
 county, near the line of the South
 ern Pacific railway, have attracted
 attention far and wide; and there
 Is no doubt that they offer the
 foundation for an extensive manu-
 featuring industry in Arizona.
 The extent of the uses of the mat
 erials which can be manufactured from these substances is hardly ap-
 preciated in Arizona, but when ex-
 tensive works of internal improve ment in Arizona projected by the general government are taken into consideration it will be noted that the deposits are of great value. Without doubt the federal govern ment will proceed to construction of the San Carlos dam, for retention of the flood waters of the Gila river, to be used in the summer for the irrigation of the great Casa Grande valley. That dam and reservoir will exceed in extent and dimensions the great dam and reservoir now in the course of con- struction by the Egyptian { British administration government on the Nile. It Is estimated that the amount of Portland cement which will be required in the work of construction for the San Carlos dam will exceed 150.000 barrels, and will probably amount to 200,- 000- The price of Portland cement laid down in Arizona is now nine dollars per barrel, but of course in a contract of so great magnitude it will be supplied at figure somewhat lower. With the necessary machinery and ap- pliances it can be manufactured at the site of the recently discovered deposits at d cost not to exceed one dollar per barrel It requires but little calculation to demon strate what a great profit can be made out of that contract by company controlling these deposits and with the requisite machinery and appliances. Then there ia the great Tonto Basin dam which will surely be constructed for the same purpase with reference to the Salt River valley which will require as great a quantity of cement In Los Angeles the government will contract great building, to cost one and quarter million dollars, for federal purposes, which will require large quantities of cement. . A similar amount of money will be put into a big federal building

COLLAPSE OF A WAR BOOM.

Sir Henry mpbell-Bannerman sug- gested in a recent speech that the war had given rise to demands for certain
 classes of commodities, in response to which many thousands of people had
 obtained employment that would fail as soon as the war was at an end It would not be the first time the close of q war was unwelcome, for almost always there is a similar special demand, or prices for staple commodities are ab- normally high large profits are made and the cessation of hostilities spells not only loss of employment, but often
 ruin for those immediately concerned.
 There are stories still told of the pio- neer days in upper Canada of settlers who. not having as yet disposed of their
 crops at the handsome prices induced
 by European blockades deplored a
 most unfortunate peace" as a mani
 fest injury and injustice to deserving
 folk like themselves What is most to
 be considered In the present case is the
 possibility, or rather the probability of
 a diminished purchasing power in the
 British market after the war is over and the demand of government for
 these exceptional services has ter minated. In the past four or five years there has been an increasing demand for food products at prices satisfac- tory to the Canadian producer. The demand has indeed been such as would in normal conditions have been kept up only by the profitable employment of all the avilable capital of the nation. What has actually happened, as al- ways does happen in case of a great war. is that the floating capital of the country, of which there is never too much if successful rivalry against other countries is to be maintained, has been in great measure withdrawn from per manently productive use,--Montreal Herald.
