 There were more sports listed on the program than could be crowd ed into the hours that comprise one day. And the Nogales Fourth of July celebration was gotten up as one-day affair.
 Promptly at daylight the cav- airy troop turned out and fired the salute. And while the echoes lin- gered in the hills. people awakened from their slumbers turned out and fired few salutes on their own account. Instead of salute of 21 guns, there were about 2,000 loud, earth-shaking explosions, and all the jackrabbits in this vicinity started for Tucson in search of quiet.
 While the procession was not the longest in the history of the southwest, it would have been difficult to surpass in beauty and appropriateness some of it's features. The best character float in the pageant was that of the Arizona x Sonora Manufacturing Company, Roy < Titcomb, agents. A noun tain built upon large platform; in the mountain a tunnel, at the mouth of which stood tram car filled with rock and surrounded by miners, rugged, horney-handed men, begrimed with the smut of the mine. The design was perfect ly carried out. There was nothing lacking that could add to it's re- presentativeness, effectiveness or interest.
 The most beautifully decorated carriage was that of the South western Commercial Company, in which rode Miss Nina Harrison as Goddess of Liberty, with MT. Pat Hannah as Uncle Sam handling the reins. Little Charley O'Keefe as the Young America sat beside his Uncle Sam.
 The American prospector was there, too. The same old fellow that you can find wherever there is mineral or talk of mineral. He had his burros we'll laden and there was nothing missing from his outfit. He was the same, in teresting, exaggerating old fellow that everyone likes to meet ana who is hale fellow we'll met, when ever encountered on the lunely mountain trail He was we'll re presented by Mir. c. H. Peltali.
 Other well gotten up floats were those of Escalada Brothers, Prot, Brothers and the California Frui Company.
 The order of the procession was

 Industrial floats, citizens in de corated carriages and automobiles

YaQul INDIANS sN SONORA OFFER TO
 FOLLOW APACHE WARRIOR.
Notorious chieftain's Recent Plea for Liberty Said to Have Been ln &c., covdance @lth Wishes of Warning Tribe, Who Deaired Leader.

Some time ago the Associated Press news presented very path etic account of an appeal made by the willy Apache, Geronimo, to President Roosevelt to permit him to return to his native Arizona to end here his long and eventful life. With his usual good sense the President refused the request; and it now seems, from evidence that has reached THE OASIS, that the refusal was one of the best strokes ever made by the president, while had the request been granted 1t might have resulted in most ser- ious consequences to the people of Sonora, which state is sadly affiict- ed by the Yaqui trouble.
 Last week THE OASIS editor was in Hermosillo, and the preceding week at Minas Prietas and Guay- mas; and while there he met gen. tlemen who are in continual touch with the Yaquis---both broncos and mancitos, ,-in a number of different ways; and they stated that the Yaquis were all aware of the effort of Geronimo, and were known to have been discussing 1t among themselves, the general sense among the Yaquis seemed to be that had Geronimo succeeded in persuading the president to permit him to return to Arizona, 1t would have been but a short time before he would have been in Sonora, leading the Yaquis in their war fare against the Mexican people.
 It is generally known that the l Yaquis are lacking greatly in leaders, and that they are well aware of their own deficiency in 1 that particular. With so idely known and successful a leader as Geronimo, they would flock to his standard in great numbers, and Sonora would witness an Indian warfare beside that which Gero- nimo made in the early eighties would sink into insignifcance With the Yaquis organized and led as he would organize and lead them the Yaqui problem would be come of appalling significance. And with the force he could raise among those Indians the cruel and l bloodthirsty Apache, nut of motive. Tof revenge, might have again giver Arizona a taste of his murderous methods.
 From the developments here presented, it may be truthfully as serted that by refusing Geronimo'i request President Roosevelt per formed great service for Sonor' and Arizona.

 Immediately after the parade the literary program attracted the people to the city park, where speeches were made by Professor Mcclure, Judge Eb. Williams and Hon. ". F. Overton and the De- claration of Independence was read by Mir. H. M Chapman, the 'intermission between. these num- bers being filled with music and and singing.
 The literary exercises were fol lowed by tug of war between the foundry men and the town men, in which the foundry men showed wonderful muscular development.
 Next came the greased pig, which q brawny soldier from Fort Huachuca picked up and handed to the proprietor of rest aurant.
 The greased pole was too well greased for the boys whose am- bitions to go up in the world tempted them to hug 1t. But they got the six pesos, just the same. Choosing moment when the com mittee men were looking the other way the boys crowded to the pole and making a human ladder, climbed, one upon the shoulders of another, to a height that enabled the one on top to reach the coveted sack.
 1t was then noon and an enter taining list of small sports, such as foot races. sack races and other contests common to such celebra. tions, which were timed to come of between II and 12 o'clock were crowded off the program.
 In the afternoon the Diamond N base ball club of Nogales, attacked by the invading forces from For Huachuca, put up an excellen fight and slaughtered the soldier to the tune of II to 2S or 30 o something like that.
 After the game the cowboys rod' bucking bronchos for an hour anC gave lively entertainment ant wound up with horse race, 30l yard dash.
 The barbecue was then read, and the time for the knights tournament having been passed over in the interest of the bronch' busting, the tournament wa passed up, everybody going bacl to the city park where rude tables a couple of hundred feet long, wer laden with barbecued beef, bread coffee, etc, and where thousand could be fed at one sitting.

STRAWBERRIES AS A CURE
Contrary to Tradition the Fruit II
Said to Be Efacacious in
Rheumatism.

That strawberries are injurious to
rheumatic persons Is as old q tradition
as that tomatoes (love apples) are con-
ducive to love. But against science no
tradition is safe. 1t is now asserted that
the strawberry is the real thing" in
food for rheumatics. Lnnaeus, II II
said, kept himself free frczn rheumatism
by eating strawberries. Fontenelli, an
other naturalist, attributed his longev-
ity to strawberries. He resorted to them
as q medicine and would frequently say:
IF can but reach the season Of straw
berries!"
Borheave is said to have classed the
strawberry with the principal red fruit
remedies containing iron as we'll as phos-
phorus, salt, sulphur and sugar.
It has long been q tradition that the
chief demand for horse chestnuts has
come from persons who believein their
efficacy as a cure for rheumatism, or al
least O palliative in rheumatic affections
Strawberries have heretofore been
barred, but IL they have all the merits
now claimed for them, or indeed any Of
the merits, the bars will be down and
will stay down permanently.

THE PROHIBITION POLICY.
But . Single Break In Thirty Years
In the Record Of stand
ing Alone

Il has been for more than 30 years
the assertion Of the prohibitionists
that the sohdity Of their party lines n
due to the policy Of standing alone
and standing together" Whatever
concessions TO expectancy other parties
may have made By the nomination OF
candidates belonging 70 other organi-
cations, the prohibitionists have con-
sistently since 1871 nominated only
members Of their own party, entirely
regardless Of the vote which they could
poll.
The single break IN this record Of
consistent nomination Of candidates
foredoomed to defeat was IN New York
In 1901, when, under unusual ciroum-
stances, the prohibitionists for the
first time put an opponent on their
state ticket, nominating John Cunneen
for attorney general. He was the
democratic candidate for that once,
and The prohibition vote Of New York
in the election, which was 20.ooe, wa
suficient to secure the success Of Mr..
Cunneen and thus break the prohibi-
ton record.
In the next year, 1903, there was no
state election. and in 1904 the prohi.
bitionists resumed their former policy
Of nominating only their own candi'
dates and had>a nominee Of their OWL
for attorney general against Mr.. Gun
neen, whom they had supported at the
previous election.

that will be the fashionable center OF

Of the British embassy will doubtless
be repeated In the building Of those

Some 20 years ago Great Britain
purchased a large lot Of ground on
Connecticut avenue in a section which
at that time was anything but at
tractive. Nearby were negro settle
ments and Just beyond were marshes
and swamps. The property, however
seemed to be adapted to the wants OF
Great Britain, she obtained title to
it and erected a substantial building
which is now one of the interesting
sights of Washington. The boom
which the location Of the British EN-
bassy gave to real estate is well re
membered. Consul General Wynne
of London, then a newspaper man in
Washington, desired to make a small
investment in that section Of the
town and attended an auction sale Of
some vacant property near the EN-
bassy. He did not buy and in relating
his experience said to his wife:
Mary, the fools are not all dead
yet. Just think that property we were
looking at sold to-day for 40 cents
