One of the most noteworthy news
paper celebrations ever held in the mid
die west was the golden jubilee of The
Iowa Homestead at Des Moines, Iowa,
on the 23d ult., at which time also, the
manager, Mr.. James NJ. Pierce, cele-
brated the twentieth anniversary of his
management Of this sterling old paper.
The Homestead has not lived fifty years
to no purpose; for it is as excellent as it
is old, and exceedingly varied in it's
merits. Its editorials, special features
and departments are the best that mon
ey can'b buy. The extent Of The Home
stead plant will be seen when we state
that when Manager Pierce gave a ban
quet to his employees and their wives,
over $50 plates were laid, more than
one hundred being for employees. Great
enthusiasm was aroused when the an
nOuncement was made that The Home
stead would triple the size Of its build
ing this year. The popularity of The
Homestead in Decatur county is shown
by it's immense circulation among our
best farmers; but The REPORTER will be
glad to help along the cause of good
farming by forwarding other subscrip-
tions.

rnf saNe QUESTIONS

It is folly to try and dodge the issue The fight is on and Ari- zona has got to get into the breach and battle for it's life.- Phoenix Enterprise
 To the Enterprise THE OASIS now propounds the same questions it has put repeatedly, without reply, to the Bisbee Review, Douglas Dis patch, and several more anti-state- hood contemporaries; and in an- other article in this issue puts to the Arizona Gazette, viz.: Why so much insistence upon beating the Hamilton bill in Congress2 1.-the people are at heart opposed to an- nexation of New Mexico in order to attain statehood for Arizona, why not give them chance to demonstrate that hostility by vot- ing down constitution? Do the anti-statehood agitators fear to trust the people? And will it not be New Mexico which will lose its life and identity, instead of Ariz- ona? Come now, John, come down off the perch Don't try to stuff readers of the Enterprise so grossly,

The Force of Prejudice.

A very low-church minister was reproving his curate for having taken part in q wedding breakfast. But, sir" said the young man, in amazement, "our Lord himself was present at wedding breakfast in Cana That's perfectly true, young man." answered the parson, but in my opinion he had much better have stopped away" There are lots of people who would criti- else the Bible itself and neglect to pay their grocery bills. We have list of some of them in the South western Commercial Co.'s books.

WHERE'S 5 THE DANCER?

The danger of joint-statehood for Arizona Is ever present, and the ne- cessity for earnest work on the part of the friends of the territory is a pressing one.- Arizona Gazette.
 If the people of Arizona are so bitterly opposed to joint-statehood as the Gazette constantly asserts, wherein lies the danger? If they don't want statehood will they not vote down constitution2 Would not that effectively kill the propo- sition? Then why this great cry that the Hamilton bill must be beat in Congress2 THE OASIS has put these inquiries to the Gazette before now Why does 1t not answer them? Does that newspaper fear to go to the people in constitu- tional election?
The oasis., 1905-07-22

To READ the anti-statehood news- papers one would think that Ariz- ona is threatened with being drag ged into the Union by the hair of the head. But such is not the case. If she becomes a state Arizona will walk into the Union, erect and of her own accord, through door opened by constitutional election.

ACROSS THE BORDER.

Mexican Herald: John Brad burn, mining man from the MOO tezuma district, will arrive Tn the city this morning in connection with business matters relative to the mines located there Tn which he is interested. MT. Bradburn was an associate for the San Fran cisco Mackays who own extensive mining properties in the western United States as we'll as Mexico. but is now identified with mines in the Moctezuma district He will be in the city several days and has telegraphed the Palace hotel to reserve rooms there for him.
 Mexican Herald: Creek. Snake and Cherokee full-blooded Indians, harassed by civilization and pro- gress, are planning to emigrate from the Indian Territory to Mex ico. and petition will be present. ed to the United States congress at the next session asking permission to sell all lands without restriction. The old life of the Indian, when he hunted and tished, is a thing of the pastin Indian Territory. where cities nave driven the game out of the country. The full-bloods and many of the half breeds desire to free themselves from the bonds of restricted civilization and again take up the gun and rod.
 Mexican Herald: The most im- portant event of the session of the convention of the confederated young peoples societies has been the adoption of a memorial to the federal government asking for the correction of the abuse by the local authorities throughout the republic in charging fees for performing civil marriages. The memorial declares that many officials violate the Mexican constitution by charg- ing five to thirty dollars. A com mittee of Mexican ministers was appointed to present the matter to the government and also to secure evidence against the officials. Arcadio Morales, the Presbyterian pastor of Mexico, is the chairman.
 Mexican Herald. Prof. Peter Olsson-Seffer, instructor in botany at the Stanford University, who Is in Mexico for the purpose of deter mining whether 1t Is possible to grow Mexican rubber plants in the Philippines, having been appointed by the Philippine government to to establish an experiment station at Manila, thinks the time has ar rived for Mexican planters to unite in the establishment of an experiment station for the scien- tifc study of all the problems con- nected with rubber culture.
 In the second we'll bored on its property near Tuxpam, the Mexican Oil Corporation has struck stra- tum of oil-bearing shale fully 100 feet in thickness. While the we'll is not gusher like the first drilled, it promises to be good steady producer. The first we'll drilled by the corporation was gusher and continues, even now, to flow when urcapped. Oil indications all over the property, which comprises about 10000 acres, are excellent and the directors of the corpora ton, which is an English concern believe there is no question but that they will be able to develop a great oil property.
