Cattle Will Starve to Death.

Salem, Sept. 5.-There will be hun.
dreds of willamette ranchers with cattle
for them," said J. K Sears, of Mccoy
today. "It would seem absurd to say
that livestock in the willamette Valley
will starve this winter because OF the
scarcity of feed, but shall not be sur.
prised if many cattle die this winter of
starvation. The farmers have more
cattle than they want, there is no mark
ct for them, and the hay and grain
crops were 80 short there is not feed
enough
This statement made by Mr.. Sears
was repeated to a we'll known wholesale
butcher, and his comment was:
"Mr. Sears has stated the situation
just about as it is The outlook is very
bad for the farmer with beef cattle, and
with feed as scarce as it is now, stock
will be in pretty poor condition this
winter. The farmer can't sell his cattle
and there won't be feed enough for
them unless it is shipped in. The price
of feed is high and the price of cattle
low. 1t won't pay to ship the cstte
out of the VALLEY to winter them. If
farmers buy feed to winter their cattle
they must do so at loss. won dn'tlike
to say that cattle will .tarve IN he Viii.
lamette Valley, but well, Mr.. Sears is
not far from right"

two causes. an oversupply of beef cattle G
and an unprecedented shortage of feed.
Hay is now selling at $l1 to $l2 a ton,
or about 80 per cent higher than usua .
The oats crop was but small part of
what is usually harve, ted IN the Valley,
and many farmers are now buying for
their horses. Pastu'age has been very
poor all summer, and unless there are
early rains there will not be much grass

As Such Scientists Say Serves the

An Elevation That Onsets the Pro-
pOndernnce of Land An Other
Parts of the Sphere, 1t Is
Thought.

The earth, small wheel In the celes-
the balance as well as to the general laws
of equilibrium which rule matter. Thus
says Cosmos, the southern hemisphere
should have the same weight as the
northern misphere-Otherwise how
are we to understand the precise func-
tiOning OF all the slow and rapid move
ments, 60 well compensated, that the

mOny of these movements could not be
established and could not subsist unless
the respective weight OF the two hemis-
pheres were exactly balanced and In or
der that these movements may not un-
dergo and arrangement what must be
the delicacy OF the different compens-
ators which maintain the earth in its
orbit?
1t is known that the earth Is spheriod
f1attened at the north pole, but while
measurements have been made and
verified at the equator and in the north
polar circle the terrestrial degrees have
never been measured at or in the antartic
circle
No geodetic survey has ever been made
beyond the SEVENTEEN degree The rea-
sons which lead us to believe in the ex-
istenee OF southern polar continent
are always kept before us, although it is
probable that this continent does not
exist and therefore we must find another
cause which is capable Of maintaining
the earth's equilibrium, since the fact Is
that the hemispheres are equilibrated

of securing mechanical balance for the
purpose Of maintaining, without shocks,
the movements made necessary by the

the oceans balancing the weight OF the

We the people Of NoqaIes. who know Sonora and in gteat meas ure depend on il for our legitimate business, owe it some duty in the premises.

 By taking these strangers by the hand and making our good will a tangible reality, by seeing to it as we'll that we are granted an ample space for the grand exhibit Noga- les can make from the exceptional mineral areas beginning at her very doors, this visit can be made to signalize new era in Nogales progress.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

With midnight of the day and date of issue of this number of THE OASIS, this old world will swing a. cross the threshold of another year, and in presenting in these lines the compliments of the season greeting the eye in the caption of this article, the editor simply ant icipates by few hours the same joyous greeting which will be ring ing upon all sides; and while in person he is 500 miles away from the office of issue, he is in spirit with his many readers, and can as effusively and earnestly greet them as though he were sitting in the sanctum at the line city. And no doubt wherever the day may find him he will meet with as heartfelt and happy greetings as any that could be vouchsafed save within the sacred precincts of his own home. Here in the Great West we baye all learned to enjoy sweetly the great anniversaries, and wher- ever men meet when they occur there are joy, good will and hosp- itality, and this close of the old year just as likely finds him enioy- ing the hospitality of some reader of these columns whom he has now seen for the first time.
 And while greeting all readers of THE OASIS individually and col- lectively with the best wishes for "a Happy New Year" there will be nothing amiss in making direct allusion to some few of those whose  eyes will. peruse these lines.
 To the newly elected officials of Santa Cruz county, who will enter upon their official duties next Monday the wish is expressed that they may indeed find the New  Year very happy one. In the year just closed they have been given the most gratifying expres- sion of the confidence of their fellow citizens. They enter the public service untrammeled and unpledged. They have before them a difficult task-eareful and eco- nomical administration of an im- poverished county, it's taxpayers grooming under a burden of heavy taxation, the credit of the county at low ebb, county warrants at a ruinous rate of discount, with gen eral business poorly and money tight-and their task is to remedy SC far as possible tue evils under

 To the merchants and business men of Nogales, Magdalena, Her. mosillo, Guaymas, Minas Prietas and Cananea, who have been so long friends and supporters of THE OASIS. there is offered the most earnest hope for very prosperous and Happy New Year" May the clouds which now lower above the horizon be soon dissipated by the sun of great prosperity.
 To the great and growing client ellie of THE OASIS in the mining world there is extended every wish for Happy New Year., filled with the development of big bon- anzas, and negotiation of great and profitable deals.
 To the numerous cattlemen who turn to the pages of THE OASIS for the news of the great region it serves there is extended with the compliments of the season hope for long grass, plenty of water, fat steers, big calf fcrop and healthy bunch of buyers each with fat bank account and willingness to invest.
 With this list of New Year greet ings TIE OASIS was about to extend Ia hope of large and lucrative practice to its friends in the med- ical and legal professions; but as 1t seems too much like wishing bad luck to the rest of the community, upon second thought 1t is deemed best to leave them as the general community looks upon the printer wish them well and let them take 1t out in wishing. They will all fare pretty we'll anyhow; and to the doctors and lawyers THE OASIS simply wishes "a happy New Year." and will let it go at that.
 And the coming year is really filled with hope for all of us. The expansive forces of trade and com merce are yet predominant all over the world. The dreaded check to their expansion so universally felt a few months ago, has passed. The golden stream seeking invest ment still flows in our direction, and there seems every prospect that the coming will really be a very
