Territorial Industrial School Opening.

Fully FIVE hundred visitors were
at Benson on Monday last to wit
ness the dedication ceremonies of
the Territorial Industrial School
which were held that evening. The
big building, which is now ready to
receive the incorrigible youths of
the Territory, had been handsomely
decorated by the ladies of Benson,
and every room on the lower floor
was festooned with evergreens,
chrysanthemums, roses and other
flowers, making a very attractive
scene. Music for the evening was
furnished by the Tucson orchestra
which was stationed in the recep-
ton hall, where the superintendent
of the school, Judge f. R. O'Brien,
and committee welcomed the guests
as they arrived. The opening ex-
ercises were held in the big din
ming room of the institution and
the room was crowded to overflow
ing with the many invited guests.
Charles Connell, ex-member of the
board of trustees was chosen chair
man for the evening and after
few well chosen remarks he called
upon the Rev. w. III. Stowell, who
opened the evenings exercises with
a prayer. Governor Brodie was
then introduced, being greeted
with hearty applause, and he
made a short speech explaining
the objects for building the school
and telling of the great good that
would result from it in training
the incorrigibles and teaching them
trades 50 that they could become
useful and law abiding citizens.

NINE YEARS IN HocAiEs.

Upon December 9Th, 1894, the
first copy of THE OASIS struck of
from the press in Nogales was
issued, so with this issue, Deem
Der 9Th, 1903. THE OASIS has been
nine years in Nogales. (It had
been running nineteen months
when moved to the line city, and
is now in the eleventh year of its
existence.)
When the plant and publication
were brought to Nogales the enter
prise was deemed very hazardous
undertaking. Everybody said so.
Many of the citizens OF the town,
leading business men, positively as
serted the town could not and would
not support newspaper. Many
had made attempts to float one
and had ANONYMOUSLY failed.
"The town would never be any
thing but a Mexican plaza, any
way" was the averment Of a very
prominent man, yet in business
here. Many of the Arizona
newspapers applied to Noga-
les the epithet "a graveyard
OF newspapers" and expressed fore
bodings OF the result for The OASIS.
1t was a pretty hard struggle,
but THE OASIS was too tough a
proposition to be- downed. 1t is
yet here, and holds proud posi-
ton in Arizona journalism. In.
achieving and maintaining the
position it holds THE OASIS had
the confidence and support OF the
best business men in southern Ari-
IONA and Sonora, for which all
thanks are due.
In closing this article it may not
be amiss to state that friends have
frequently suggested that THE
OASIS should undertake the issue of
a daily edition. To all such the
invariable reply has been that the
time is not yet ripe for a daily
newspaper in Nogales. The man
agement OF this paper has had cx-
perience in running two daily
newspapers. The cost OF conduct
ing such a journal is thoroughly
understood in this office. BY that
is meant a good, daily newspaper,
which will be worth something to
the community in which it is pub
lished and the region which it
serves. When the time comes that
such a daily newspaper can be
made to pay, THE OASIS will enter
that field, with a full daily tele-
graphic report, and all the rest of
the features which go to make a
The oasis., 1903-12-05

good daily-one for which no apol-
ogies will have to be made, and of
which Nogales may well be proud.
