 So far as may De concerned THE OASIS the Tempe News is bit wrong.

Preparing te Celebrate the Mexican
 Fourth Of July.

Citizens of Nogales, Sonora, are preparing an elaborate program of sports for the celebration of their national holiday, the Sixteenth of September. Committees have been appointed to attend to the details. but no program has yet been framed.
 The celebration will probably be d three day event and may con- tinue for week.
 Among the sports will be a base ball game between the Tucson Grays and the Nogales Diamond N team, the two best hines in the territory.
 Horse races, cock fights and other sports are talked of and will probably find place on the pro- gram, which the committee mem bers say will be the most interest Ing ever gotten up for a celebration in Nogales.
 Citizens of both the Mexican and American towns have signifed their willingness to contribute to the ex- pense fund, and the people of both towns will celebrate, as the people q both towns celebrated the Amer lean National day two months ago.

 With the governors efforts to se- cure fair and just assessment Of all properties the people of Santa Cruz county are in perfect accord. But is t fair and just assessment to put a valuation away up into thousands on patented mine which Is nothing but prospect, and has in sight no values, in order to add million to the assessment of producing properties that are even with the raise far short of a just assessment? That is a fair question.
