TALK OF CHAMBER or COMMERCE
Noga Business Men Organizing County

proposition now coming to head and Tucson has not the mineral country adjacent to 1t that Nogales has. But Tucson business men have shown the proper progressive spirit --the spirit which makes the most of the material at hand.
 What the business men of other towns can do, the business men of Nogales can do.
 THE OASIS reporter, after hearing the Chamber of Commerce subject mentioned by few of the business men, interviewed number of others, and all agree that such an organization could do much good for the town.
 The point was mentioned by some, that in a small town, with vol unteer officers, it would be difficult at times to keep the members to- gether, but all agreed that the or ganization once perfected, 1t would be an easy matter to keep 1t in an active state If one man should be placed in charge of the Chamber of Commerce office at a fixed salary, and devote his time every day to the business affairs of the organiza- ton. The correspondence alone of an active Chamber of Commerce soon reaches such an amount of work that a man who has private business to manage cannot at- l tend to the office work of such an organization continuously and the neglect of the correspondence and other office work can have but one result-the Reorganization of the body.
 The plan as it is now being dis cussed by business men of Nogales is to perfect all organization that can maintain an office and keep a permanent secretary at a salary, to attend daily to the affairs of the organization. A Chamber of Com- merce so organized and conducted would be permanent institution.
 Another matter mentioned by some of the business men interview ed by THE OASIS reporter is that ot government irrigation. In the im- mediate vicinity of Nogales are a number of excellent dam sites. l The sites alone are of no particu- | lar benefit to Nogales or Santa Cruz county, and without organ ized effort on the part of inhuen- tial men, it is not likely that any of them will be selected by the gov- ernment as the place for the con- struction of dam. Concerted ac- tion only can bring such matter forcibly before the national otfi- cials.
 What Nogales needs is a little boosting. It has the resources and the business men. When the busi- ness men organize and jointly boost the resources of the county, there will be development and increase of wealth.
The oasis., 1905-06-10

There has been considerable Chamber of Commerce talk in No gales the past week. A number of business men, with the future prosperity of the city in mind, are interested in the project of perfect ing such an organization. and the outlook at present for the success of the movement is bright.
 While no definite action has been taken, number of substan- tial business men, representing large business interests in Nogales, are quietly agitating the matter and have met with such encourage ment that they are confident a strong and permanent organiza- tion can be effected.
 Eight years ago a Board of Trade was organized in Nogales, at time when number of important ques- tions were before the people. The division of Pima county into Pima and Santa Cruz, the selection of a county seat for Santa Cruz county and the bonding of the new county to raise money with which to erect substantial county building, were all important matters that came, as it were, in a bunch. When all had been disposed of, when the county of Santa Cruz had been created, Nogales selected as the county seat, and one of the best county buildings in the southwest secured for Nogales, interest in the l organization began to lag and the Board of Trade practically died from neglect.
 i Once again matters are being discussed that are of interest to tkt community in general, Enter. prises are spoken of which indivi dual effort is seldom strong enough to bring to a small town-enter prises which the concerted actior of organized business men can at tract.
 One matter In which considerablt interest eenters is the proposition o shelter. In the immediate vicinity of Nogales are scores of mining claims owned by citizens of tn, county and others, who have no the ready cash to develop them t, the point where they could b' shown mp and sold as mines. Witt a smelter convenient for the treat ment of ore, there are many wh, could, by taking out ore and sell ing 1t. make their claims pay, il part at least, for their develop ment. With long shipments anC heavy freight rates intervening such claim holders have no chanc other than to do their representa- ton work each year and await de velopments. Some of them hay grown grey waiting and some 0 their heirs may have still longe waits ahead. With shelter here that would receive enough ore | enabel it's owners and operators t reap good profits, the claim holder who lack capital would have
 chance to develop mines and i would require the development 0 but a few mines in the vicinity t double the population and wealtl , of town the size of Nogales. Tucson, through the efforts of it Cham her of Cnnnnaarca has snch

OCCOD0T IN Lee
There is gold on the hills and sthe val
legs,
And the forest and shadows ablaze
AS the bloom Of she Southern October,
Bending over the hedgessand ways,
Fill the frame of the picture with splen
dor
While the hooking birds sing in the tree,
AS the toilers so reaping the harvests
Of the corn and the cotton of Lee.
From the shade of the lilies and moss
es
Leaps the trout in the quest of the fly,
And wing is tune with the breezes
AS quail goeth Fastening by.
All the doors Of the cabins the roses
In the breezes are blossoming free,
AS the songs of the reapers are ringin,
Mid the corn and the cotton OF Lee.

Advice to Lottie
Ton Her Eighth Birthday

Never scorn the one that meets you,
Even though his coat is old.
Dingy matrix holds the diamond,
Baser ores obscure the gold.
Delve and dig amid the rubbish,
Sort each coarser baser mind
Hidden deep are flecks OF golden
Thought that might perhaps. refined,
Circle spheres, or soothe the sorrow.
Yours perhaps may be the fate
Golden gems of thought to burnish,
Thoughts that future ages wait.
Never crave the misers pleasure,
Dearly bought his hidden hoard,
Sweeter lives are like the roses
Waiting all their hearts abroad.
Sweeter lives are like the robins
When the summer days are long,l
Singing, singing in the lilacs
That the world may hear the song.
Never store away your anger,
Never treasure up frown.
From amid the glowing furnace
Ruddy COLL is melted down.
Prove the cherry tree that shaken
Scatters down its creamy bloom,
' Be the violet that trampled
Fills the air with sweet perfume.
/, Never scorn your Bible, dearest,
! Though the ways are dark and long,
When we take its path to travel
! We are never in the wrong.
Live its truths without obstruslon,
Many joys it has to give,
Scatter roser dear that people
May be happy that you live.

When used to be boy,
Holy terror to the ueighbors

Leaving work for hook and pole,

With labored croupy cold.

They were harmless fathers storms.

Or at least he made me doit.

In adozen blankets rolled.

But the pleasing retrospection
Is it often cured the cold.

When 1 used to hate the school,
When I'd fool my mother groaning,
And complain of being cool.

Just TO seek marble game
With the boy around the corner.
If perchance my daddy came.

Caught me sleeping in the hiding,

Governor Warmers recent state
ment that his greatest ambition was
TO satisfactorily redeem the promises
made in his behalf and by himself te
the people OF Michigan, and to make
himself worthy OF renewal OF the
Official position he now holds, was
Enthusiastically straight forward
and frank. And this frankness and
open dealing, by the way, has been
the invariable rule Of the present
governor in all official transactions.
II there are those in our state who
believed Governor Warner would be
weak in just the emergencies 10
which he has proven himself
strong, they are probably glad to
learn OF their error in belief and
statement and will have the truth as
their own when next it may be
needed.

Frank G. Bigelow, the defaulting
Milwaukee banker who was senten
ed to ten years in Fort Leaven worth
prison for his abuse OF trust, is re-
ported to be slowly breaking down.
He is said to 60 about his duties in a
seemingly dazed condition, and sell
dom converses with anyone. The
prison officials believe it is doubtful
whether he will live out his term.
These are pitiable reports from a
man who but few months ago was
one OF the first citizens OF Milwaukee,
rich in worldly wealth, opportunity
and friends. They convey terrible
warning to men in places of high
trust. The straight and narrow
path OF honesty and faithfulness
must appear most alluring after the
contemplation Of Bigelow's sad
plight.
