With joyful, happy air.
Looks underneath each bed to see
If gifts are hidden there.
The growing youth with anger hunts
Beneath the bureau stand
To find the collar button (brass)
That dropped from out his hand.
The man calls on his fiancee
And meath the lounge doth peep
To see if little brothers there
His lonely watch to keep.
He marries then a wealthy girl,
But this no rest doth bring.
Beneath his auto he must look

suited and was made for him so
nearly as this.
The line of missions were about
seven hundred miles long from
San Diego northward. They lay
contiguous and adjoining. Their
sites were the most eligible spots Of
the sunniest land the world knows.
Their affairs were administered by
the Padres with much skill. Seven
hundred thousand cattle grazed on
the mission pastures with sixty
thousand horses and an immense
number Of domestic animals. A
hundred and twenty thousand
bushels Of wheat were raised an
nually, besides all other crops.
Gardens, vineyards and orchards
surrounded or were contiguous to
all the missions, except the two
most northerly ones. The total
average annual gains of the mis-
sions from sales and trade was
more than two millions of dollars.
The value of the livestock alone
was in 1884, two millions of dol
lars. The Spanish Government
had a theory upon which these
missions were established. 1t was
that after ten years, the Indians
would become citizens, living in
agricultural communities on land
secured to them, and self-support-
ing and perhaps prosperous. They
intended to use the missions to
this end, but they lack every per
sonal surrounding they are intend,
ed for. In thirty years or less
their converts had become their
servants and they themselves were
no longer seIf-denying missiona-
ries. Success was so great that
zeal was disarmed, mouastic vows
were forgotten, prayer and faith
became mere forms. During sixty
five years thirty thousand Indians
attended church at these twenty
one missions and eighty thousand
were buried in the mission Gene
teries.
When the heroic soul of Junipe-
70 Sierra departed at Monterey in
1884, the end for which he had en-
dured and prayed was lost sight of
and the humane love of ease and
gain arose uppermost in all minds.
Thus the briefest history of South
crn California developed one of the
saddest stories to be found in the
annals OF Christian endcaVOred. 1t
was work wrought almost in
vain. There are no results and
the doom of a race sealed by the
effort to civilize and save them.
The Indians Of the missions exist
ed in great numbers sixty years
ago. What has become of him
numerically is a question often
asked but never answered. If
there are diaries, journals, personal
narratives, hints, descriptions they
are lost. There seemed to be in
the minds of some of the Priests a
tinge of regret not that they are
gone but that they ever came.
There still hovers about the
California missions an atmosphere
which all the winds cannot blow
away, which is unique in Ameri
can life, and of which these ruins
seem to afford the only taste. Let
the visitor to California remember
carelessly perhaps yet still remem-
Der that about him lie the ruins of
that time which is the connecting
link between a past so remote
that above it hangs a mist which
is like the purple veil Of the Cali
tornia hills and that wonderful
present which is so unlike all the
past.

SAN FRANCISCO TO SAN DIEGO.
A Descriptive Article Concerning This
Section of Our Country.

One of the most interesting fea-
lures in travelling from San Fran
cisco 10 san Diego is the old mis-
sion buildings of California lying
broken and deserted in the endless
sunshine beneath a matchless sky.
Perhaps the underlined thing
which we cannot understand about
these missions IS the secret of their
great success combined with that
of their local failure. Southern
California, iii d state OF nature, is a
land Of hooks and corners. In
these hooks the original Spaniard
seems to have very generally to
have nestled, The peace which
to some degree may come in life,
was never i'll this world nearer its
idealization than at San Juan

NOT CASE FOR OBSCENE LANGUAGE.

The Oasis Incorporating Bureau is m institution separate and apart from The Oasis Printing House, Incorporated. It's work is perfect ly legal and will hold anywhere. Anyone has perfectly legal right to draw articles of incorporation, and in doing so can use any name whatever. The Oasis Printing House, Incorporated, is legally in- corporated to do a general news paper, publishing and job printing business, and 1t publishes for The Oasis Incorporating Bureau the articles drawn by that concern, just as the Phoenix newspapers publish similar articles drawn by the Stoddard Incorporating Bu- reau. All articles drawn by The Oasis Incorporating Bureau are perfectly legal in form, embodying the knowledge of some of the best lawyers. and in doing the work all the necessary steps required by the law are carefully observed. That is all that Is required to make them legal.
 In asserting that the work done by The Oasis Incorporating Bureau k illegal, and in alleging that The Oasis Printing House, Incorporate ed, had not compiled with the law by filing it's articles with the coun- " recorder, the sometimes DaiIp Nesos has perpetrated two direct and false statements that come very close to libel--if not over- stepping the bounds thereof. Were TIE OASIS editor constituted as is the misfit editor of the NoqaEes Doilg Times he would go before a grand jury and ask an indictment or two for libel. We're he consti- tuted as is the equally mistit editor of the sometimes Dady Negs he would violate the law by standing up in public street and emitting obscene and profane language at the offender. But he is not that kind of journalist. When with his pen he cannot defend himself, or any position he takes, ho will admit his own incompetence and vacate the editorial tripod

two great parties of the territory bringing together ideas and sug- gestions for the combating of the joint statehood proposition. Mr. Murphy dwelt upon the import ance of the defeat of joint state- hood bill in congress. He said he saw before him the representatives of the business interests of the ter ritory. They were solidly against jointure yet the vote of each of them would count for no more than the vote of a man who had a less interest in the welfare of the territory. Arizona could not af- ford to risk tue issue at the polls The place to defeat joint statehood was at Washington. Let no bill, he said, be brought back to Arizona with the Foraker amendment or any other amendment"
 There's the rubl They dare not go before the people in a constitn- tional election, and Mir. Murphy has admitted the fact.
 THE OASIS editor took advantage of the opportunity and remained in Phpnix several days. Even there, the very hot bed of the anti joint statehood movement he found prominent and we'll known citizens who are preparing to accept the proposed compromise. A prom inent and well known journalist said to the editor
 Allen, I am beginning to think your way, and there are many others coming around"
 The gentleman instanced a prominent lawyer whom he assert ed has repeatedly affirmed that he twill deem it the highest privilege to vote for joint statehood at q constitutional election"
 Other prominent and well known men said to the editor: "The Hamilton bill will pass regardless of what this meeting does; and when the proposition reaches the people in a regularly provided constitutional election, they will accept it by an overwhelming majority: so what's the use of stirring up trouble with these gen. tlemen now? Let them go"

"The King of France and ten thousand men
 Marched up the hill and then marched
 down again.
 During about eighteen years the people of Arizona, without regard to political affiliations, have been clamoring for admission as free and sovereign state into the great Union of American states. Petit tions, memorials and resolutions adopted by various bodies have been presented Congress asking the grant of statehood. At one time by legislative enactment con- stitutional convention was called, constitution framed, adopted at an election legally called, and presented to Congress for it's ap- proval as a fundamental law for the proposed state of Arizona. About three years ago there was called at Phoenix great non- partisan gathering, a mass conven- tion, wherein assembled delegated representatives from all the var ious towns, counties and conner cial bodies in the Territory. The usual resolutions were adopted and strong committee selected from all parts of the territory, to go on to Washington and urge upon the Congress the claims of Arizona to statehood Wm. c. Greene, the great copper magnqte, was at the head of that committee, and nur own fellow citizen. Cap lain 4 w. Mix, was the second men ber Those two gentlemen visited Washington while Congress was in session, and with them one other member of the committee, Mr. ". J, Murphy of Phoenix. They appeared before the house committee on territories, and the senate committee, and interviewed various statesmen of weight and in- tiuence in both bodies and in execu- tive positions. They received re- spectful hearing and were every where courteously told that the claims of Arizona would be given due and careful consideration, practically quoting at the same time the repeated resolutions in the National Republican platform pledging admission of Arizona and New Mexico, which has always read:
 Having due regard interests of the people of those Territories and of the United States"
 Long antedating the propaganda for statehood in Arizona the peo- pie of New Mexico had been work ing 10 the same end for themselves They too had besieged Congress with petitions and memorials, com mittees and delegations, and had received pledges in national plat forms of both parties that the in. estimable boon craved should be granted But those people seemed to have no greater success than the people of Arizona.
 As seen from this distance the trouble has been that the states beyond the Missouri river have been increasing in population so
