You can put me down as a con- vert to the proposition to annex New Mexico to Arizona, in order to secure statehood" said Doctor Mark A. Rodgers of Tucson to THE OASIS editor, Tuesday. The fre- quent and repeated appointments of carpet baggers to federal offices in Arizona are what converted me. Through outside influences we have had inexperienced kids thrustinto positions of importance and re- sponsibility which should go only to men ot ability and long ex- perience. l am opposed to such evils and the only remedy I can see is to elect officials by the vote of the people. We must have state hood to do that l am for state hood in any form"

LOFTY EXTENSIONS.

At Stafford. Graham county. is the Journal, paper which within short period since it was started, few months ago, has already ex- perienced one change in manage ment, has taken exception to re- cent criticism in THE OASIS of a proposed new daily at Douglas, for which there can be no room,
 save by driving out one of the very excellent daily newspapers already in that field; and defends the right of those who are dissatisfied with newspaper to start another to run out the offending one, alleging that
 where newspaper stands in"
 with grafters, corporations, etc. "the people, have no other recourse than to encourage establishment of another paper to defend their rights and drive from the field it's opponent, if possible.
 That sounds all right, but the usual situation is that the butter" into limited newspaper field is started by grafters and on corpora. tim money, because the established newspaper Is independent and will not grind their axes" At this distance 1t looks as though that were the situation at Stafford. The Guardian, as shown in an article copied upon another page, stands strongly for just and equitable tax ation of the great producing mines in that county, which are notori- ously and outrageously delinquent in that matter. The field at Saf- ford for support of newspaper is limited, and is none too good for one newspaper. By starting an- other, dividing the revenue that Is no more than a fair support for the Guardian, the mining compa- nies might be able to accomplish suspension of that excellent and fearless newspaper, thus removing a persistent and effective influence toward making them pay their fair share of the burden of government. Consequently they could afford to sink money for a time in holding up another newspaper in the field the Guardian had developed. In this assumption THE OASIS may be in error, but at this distance from Graham county 1t looks greatly as though there were some such motive back of the appearance of the Jour nal in that field. Additional force Is given the foregoing guess by the fact that the editor of the Guardian, Mr. Birdno, is assessor ofGraham coun- ty, and in that capacity has made a

 During many years in the news
 paper business has TIE OASIS edi- tor seen worked the system outlined
 herein, to the ruin of some of the
 best newspapers in the country.
 Forty years ago the Sacramento
 Union was one of the best daily
 newspapers anywhere in the United
 States In the early history of the
 first transcontinental railway the
 Union was one of it's strongest sup-
 porters in the great undertaking of
 bridging a continent. When the corporation had grown great and
 powerful, with antocratic tenden- dencies exhibited in many ways that were generally resented, the
 Union espoused the cause of the people against the policy of the corporation. The railroad compa- ny established competing daily newspaper. In it's support money was spent with a lavish hand, and sunk without any idea of getting return from the legitim- ate sources of newspaper revenue subscriptions and advertisements. Money to meet the extraordinary weekly payroll went openly from from the railroad office to the news paper office, as did also the money { to meet all other bills the newspa- per revenues could not. An exten- sive and costly news service with < which the Union could not com- pete, was conducted. That news paper had to pay for it's news serv- ice, and meet all other expenses, out from the legitimate earnings of the newspaper business. Its formidable competitor was bound | by no such limitations, but had the bottomless coffers of the railway treasury from which to draw. All the public saw was the superiority 1 of the new journal. It did not re- alize that 1t was set up and held ! up by the railway to throttle the newspaper that could not be controlled; and the new journal developed large circulation, that of the Union steadily diminishing. In hopeless effort to parallel the splendid news service of the rail- way organ it's expenses were heav- fly increased in the face of con- stantly decreasing revenue. At the end of five years struggle the Union abandoned the field, sold to
 its competitor, and the two papers were consolidated. Instantly the news service was reduced to dimin- ish expense below the revenue, and the splendid newspaper service en- ioyed by Sacramento and vicinity turing period of five years dis from the face of the earth. Never since that time IS75-have the people of Sacra-

The Milk Cans.

All milk cans and pals should be of
timed steel, and In order that they
may be properly cleaned they should
be so made that every part can be seen
and reached and all cracks or creviceS
should be filled up with solder, says
American Cultivator. All seams should
be well made and filled up with the
same material. The best cans are now
made Of one piece Of steel without
seams. Milk cans and pals should
first be scrubbed and washed out with
cold or tepid water. then swilled with
cold water and finally scalded out with
boiling water or steam. Then they
should be set out to drip and dry in
such position that no dust can enter.
If the cans have bad seams these must
be cleaned out with great care. They
should be picked out with splinter of
white wood or bone before beginning
to clean the can. The cleaning Of milk
cans should never be delayed a mo-
ment after they are empty. 1t would
be very great advance indeed If one
daily cleaning of milk cans could be
undertaken by the creameries, where
power and steam are both ut command
not only the cans going back to the
farms empty. but those going back
with skim milk or buttermilk as well.

To get the best results cows should
by all means be MIXED regularly as to
time and place and by the same per-
son in the same way
Any change with a sensitive COW is
sure to make a material difference in
the quantity of milk.
Any unusual method of milking not
only causes diminished yield of milk,
but also causes the milk which is OBJ
tanned to be of poorer quality, as
shown by the per cent of fat. The va
riations in quality are usually much
greater than those in the yield.
Experiments in which one teat at a
time was MIXED caused falling off
from l to per cent of fat in the milk
obtained. Slow milking gave on the
average a per cent less than fast milk
ing and with some cows more than
per cent.
The difference in yield Of fat from
nine cows experimental upon was
more than enough to make one pound
Of butter per day. A change of milk
ers also had a marked effect, but in
this case the individuality of the milk
er seemed to be the chief factor, as
certain mixers always obtained better
milk than others, and this was the case
when both of the mixers We're thought
to be expert
The COWS were clean MIXED in every
case. In test with four cows, which
was continued over periods of one
week with each mixer, the milk OBJ
tanned by one of these mixers con-
tanned nearly ~ per cent Of fat more
than the other
This was repeated in every case in
favor of the same mixer. The most
marked effect was found when cows
were milked with milking tubes, the
quality of milk being invariably poorer
when the tubes were used than when
the cows were milked by hand.

well-known patents expire, and be-
comes the property of posterity,
which means Tom, Dick and Harry.
The government processes to protect
the inventor for seventeen years, and
after that time his creation is no
longer his own. But, as a matter OF
fact, the government does no such
thing. 1t lets any poacher run in and
bring suit, or apply for an injunction,
disputing the inventors patent al
ready granted by the patent Office,
and in al the courts, pending the
long-drawn-out litigation which fol-
lows, the other fellow is permitted to
go on manufacturing and selling the
thing he claims to have invented be-
fore the real inventor made it.

years in the courts for that little

had no protection whatever, and
when I won my rights, after fourteen
years, there we're but three years OF

patent to live. 1t has now become
the property of any body and every
