The absolute repeal Of the Forest
Reserve Lieu Selection law In the
closing days of the last session Of
congress dropped like bomb into the
camp Of the spectators in western
timber lands, leaving them, by a
stroke of the pen, practically out Of o
Job.
The repeal completely kills what is
known as the scrip" business and
leaves out in the cold large number
of spectators with these forest re-
serve selection rights. or as 1t is COM
monty termed, scrip. worthless upon
their hands. Many others who had
been buying up cheap and worthless
lands In what they believed would
soon be included in forest reserves,
with the purpose of exchanging these
lands for valuable government timber
lands, have found themselves badly
scooped.

One prominent gentlemen fe siding in Nogales, Sonora, in COD yersation with Tug OAGs man Monday said that hc had solved the problem, and will straight away put into exception the plan evolved. He has bought lot upon the American side of the line upon which be will erect small house of two rooms--a dining room and a kitchen. There will be delivered all meats, groceries and provisions for tbe use of his family, and there will Ae cooked their meals. When mealtime comes the family will cross the line into Arizona and eat, returning to their residence in Mexico when it is finished. In that way they will not only avoid the recent increase Tn duties, but the ten per cent for merly paid. What they have eaten cannot be taxed.
 A GREAT SCHEME THAT.

Thinking Of Eating Abroad.

The abolition of the Free Zone. long a we'll recognized institution in Mexico, which occurred at mid- night June Both, has wrought severe hardship upon the people of Nogales, Sonora, and other border towns on the south side of the International Boundary, particu- larly upon those who have de- pended upon the American supply houses for many of the staples, such as butter, bread, ham, bacon, canned goods, fresh fruits, vege tables, etc.
 The free zone has been an area twenty miles wide along the Inter- national line, upon which only ten per cent of the regular duties have been collected upon all dutiable commodities imported Whenever foreign goods of any kind that had been taken into the free zone went beyond, the unpaid ninety per cent impost was levied and paid. Of course all American or other foreign commodities consumed within the free zone, paid only the ten per cent duty. Now with the full amount of duty charged and collected the cost of many articles Is greatly enchanced-in some eases more than doubled. Ham, bacon, butter, bread, canned goods of all kinds, fruits and vegetables, have gone soaring away aloft in prices until only the most wealthy can afford many kinds of edibles 10 which all have become ac- customed.

 The vacancy thus created is to be filled by Mr. Albert ". Brick wood IT,, nephew of MT. John T. Brickwood, who has been recom- mended by Consul A. R. Morawetz to the State Department for ap- pointment, which will, without doubt he made shortly. Then the State Department will notify the Mexican government of the ap- pointment, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs will grant the newly created official it's exequator, at which time Mir. Brickwood will become a full fedged official in the United States consular service, with a fine career before him, should he desire to remain per- manently in the service, In the meantime he is acting as a clerk at the consulate.
 Mir. Brickwood is very intel- ligent and business-like young gentleman, competent and thor oughgoing, and will doubtless prove very creditable and satis- factory official. THE OASIS is pleased to note his appointment, not only for his own sake but for that of his uncle, Mir. John T.

SCANDAL STIRS FRA THERMAL BROTHERHOOD All of the Officers Of the Supreme Lodge Have
 Been OuSted

Members of the local lodge of the Fraternal Brotherhood are taking a keen interest in the scandal which is stirring the Supreme Lodge of the Or der in Los Angeles, and which has re suited in the resignation of all of the grand officers.
 The charge is made that ex-Supreme President c. P Dandy and others en- tered into a combination to sell the Fraternal Brotherhood to the American Guild of Virginia for s351 900. This was to be $13 for every member of the Fraternal Brotherhood.
 Before the sale was consummated and the two lodges consolidated, it was discovered by lay members of the or der in Los Angeles, who opposed it. Following the expose came the resig- nation of all the supreme officers who had engineered it.
 Dandy and those with him are .oLd in the claims that they did not intend to take all the profits from the deal, and would have divided with the others had the sale been made.
 tt is probable that this scandal will result in an investigation of the or de;'s affairs.
