The Water Tree One time l was

five-year-oId daughter with me. One
day as we drove past Lincoln Park.
she saw the fountain. and clapped her
hands. as in an ecstasy of delight as
she exclaimed. "Oh! the water tree!

The Embroidery Tree.-Last sum-
mer a lady came from a distant town
on short visit to us, she brought her
little six-year-old daughter with her.
As soon as the child was in the yard,
she exclaimed jOyOusly, "Oh, the en-
brOidery treeI the embroidery tree!
oh, mamma, come and see the en-
broidery tree This tree was white
F'ringe-tree (ChiOnanthus). then in all
the glory of its splendid white bloom.
The Cigarette Tree--One day my
little Oracle was here, she was talking
about the trees i'm the yard. When
| asked her if she could tell me the
names of all the trees in the yard.
she said, Oh. yes, Grandmother, there's
the Locust tree, ana Une IecdH Tree,
the Sycamore tree and the Cigarette

bring me a leaf of it''-She went and
i'm moment returned with a handful
of the long beans or pods of the
Catalpa tree. "GrandmOther," she eX-
planned. ''the boys smoke these and
call them cigarettes, and stogies.'
The Candle Tree-Since writing the
above / recall another little incident
similar to those; and which, l fancy,
will not come amiss here. Last spring

a friend, a fine plant of Bayberry.

and more Familiarity known as Candle

received, and asked its name. l todd
her Candle-berry. Several weeks
afterwards she asked me, IF my
candle-tree had lived and grown" and
said she would like to see it." So, |
went out i'm the yard with her to the
plant, which she looked at in puz-
Zled way and said, ''Where are the

the whole year that, in effect, the diff
ference between the summer and win
ter seasons may be lessened as far as
practicable. For this purpose the
plant should be kept in summer in a
cool greenhouse, moderately shaded
from the sun. When the plants are
i'm ii growing state they require
abundance of water. both at the roots
and over the leaves.
After making their growth and set
ting their flower buds they require
less attention than at any other period.
Moderate supplies of water and SIT
uatiOn as cool as can be afforded with
out danger of frost or nipping currents
of air, are best About the middle of
March is the commencement of the Or
binary growing season, when higher
temperature and plenty of water
should be given them at the roots.
Potting should be done when the
greatest benefit will be conferred on
the prospective shoots, which will be
before the roots have made much
progress, or as soon after blooming
as possible.
\ distinction in the quality of soil
to he used should be made in accord
ance with the state of each plant,
bearing i'm mind that they grow much
stronger in loan, but do not usually
produce flowers So freely, and vice
versa for healthy specimens; and
under ordinary circumstances an ad-
ditiOn of leaf mould seems most ad-
visable, introducing a small proportion
of sand and using the soil quite rough.
At this time it should be determined
at what period the plants will be re-
quired to bloom in the ensuing season,
whether early or late, to accord with
which the plants may either be forced
or retarded.
They will bear almost any amount
of heat while growing, but after the
formation of the flower buds it must
be withheld, as the slightest applica-
ton then, instead of fastening their
development, will infallibly cause
them to fall off. Hence, the only
way to force Camellias into early
Towering in fall and winter is to keep
them at high temperature while
growing in spring. A temperature of
about 65 degrees is proper for such
as are desired to flower in the follow
ing winter; 40 or so degrees will be

One of the most beautiful of flow
ering plants is rapidly being classed
among 1.-The undesirables' by the anna
teur flower grower, because of the
seeming impossibility in growing it un-
der the usual conditions. In reality
these plants will prove very accOmmO-
dating and satisfactory if their re-
quirements are understood. When 1
first attempted its culture a florist told
me that they make their growth
mainly in the spring months, but you
will probably fail in getting a good
growth at this time, as these plants
are not well adapted to house culture
the high temperature and dry air
does not agree with them. These
plants are all right in a greenhouse,
or if one has a bay window shut off
from the living room they might thrive
there. 1t is Il poor plan to give care
to plants that are not well adapted
to the conditions that one can control.
"A moist atmosphere is always essen
tial to the Camellia, and in autumn
and winter a low temperature as well
lower than would be comfortable
in dwelling house." In spite of this
warning L determined to grow Camel
lias in the house, and because of it
| was fairly successful, for l kept
them in the cool and comparatively
even temperature of an upper back
hall window, where there was no di-
rect heat from the cellar furnace.
There are other varieties of the
Camellia besides the JapOnica, which
require about the same general treat
ment Henderson describes this plant
as ''well-knOwn genus so closely allied
to the tea family as to be distinguished
from it with great difficulty, the great
difference being in the number of
parts and positions of the flower. The
number of true species of this splendid
genus is very limited, not exceeding
six or seven, and only one or two Of
them are thought worth cultivation,
except for botanical purposes. The
hundreds of beautiful varieties which
grace our collections, possessing at
once the most rich and vivid cOlOrs in
their flowers and the noblest grandeur
i'll the whole aspect of the plants,
fully compensate for this scarcity of
species, and leave us little to desire
that may not reasonably be expected
from the same skill and perseverance
which have already produced such
splendid results"
The Camellia Japonica, however,
may be regarded as the parent of the
whole race of cultivated Camellias.
1t is a native of China and Japan,
where it attains the altitude of tree,
and is much employed by the natives
of those countries in decOra ting their
gardens. Camellias delight in an even
tempera ture, rapid fuctuation being
injurious at any season, and the same
regular and equable amount Of both
light and moisture should prevail for

Last week there came into THE OASIS, too late to make special mention, the political announce ment of Mir. H. C.. Glore, giving public notice of his candidacy for the republican nomination for member of the territorial assembly. Mr. Glore is mining man of ex- perience and ability, who has in- terests in Santa Cruz county, and is we'll qualified for work in legis- lative halls. In case of nomina- tion he ought to be elected, and this paper believes he will.

Assignment of seoville 8 Beck.

This week the firm of Scoville X Beck made an assignment in favor of creditors. The firm was doing a good business and was fast forging to the front as one of the substan- tial houses of Nogales. The assets are said to greater than the liabili- ties and it is the general belief that creditors will get all that is due tkem on their accounts. The as- signment is due to the departure from Nogales of Mir. W. G. Sco- vile, who built up and managed the business. Mir. I. J. Wylie has been appointed assignee.

 DISCLOSED.
Mexieans Organize on American Ter ritory for Purpose of Invading
 Their Native Land.

Exciting anticipations marked this week or the border. Revolu- tion was in the Mexican atmos- phere and every breeze from the south brought mutterings of inn pending bloodshed. Monday night people waited and watched all night for an expected attack on Nogales, Sonora, and the Santa Cruz county jail here in Nogales, Arizona, was heavily guarded be- cause of rumor that an attempt would be made during the night, by Mexican revolutionists, to rescue from the jail the Mexicans arrested for organizing forces on American territory to invade their native land. But the night passed quietly and at late hour Tuesday night squad of twenty Mexican cavalrymen arrived to guard the town across the line
 Three Mexican revolutionists were arrested on the American side of the line Sunday, and upon them were found letters disclosing a plot to attack Nogales, Sonora, and referring to a premeditated attack upon Cananea.
 One of the men, Carlos Humbert, was arrested at Mowry camp and the other two. Bruno Trevl1o and Leonardo Villareal, were arrested at Patagonia. The arrests were made by Sergeant of Rangers Olds, Ranger John Clark of Nogsles ard Immigration h. spector J. J. Murphy of Tucson. The Immigration officials had re- ceived information to the effect that Trevino was organizing revo- lutionary forces among the Mexi- can workmen at Mowry, prepar- atory to crossing the line into Sonora and precipitating the much talked of revolution, In response to a telegraphic request, Rangers Olds and Clark went to Mowry, leaving here about one o'clock Sunday morning. There they were met by Inspector Murphy who had ridden to the camp from Tucson.
 At Mowry they arrested Hum bert, but learned there that Ire vino and ViIlareal had gone to Patagonia. Taking Humbert with them the rangers and the inspector rode to Patagonia, where they found and arrested Trevino and Villareal and that night brought the prisoners to Nogales.
 On the men were found letters telling of plot to attack and cap. ture Nogales, Sonora, and with the arms and munitions taken in the town to arm the people there to pro- tect it against the government, the writers of the letters appearing to have the utmost confidence that the Mexican people would flock to the revolutionary standard, should the struggle once be started.
 Following are a few extracts from one of the letters written to

COUNCIL WILL ACT
DECIDED TO MAKE PROPOSITION TO
 WATER COMPANY.
Residence Streets to Have Sidewalks and Property Owners Will Pay
 for Improvements.

Tuesday night the water question was pretty thoroughly thrashed by the town council and though no action was taken in the matter, the discussion was such as to show that some of the councilmen have given the subject some considera- tion. A special meeting will prob ably be held within a few days, when some action may be taken to bring about an agreement with the Water Company.
 The subject was brought up by Councilman Lulley, who suggested that the mayor name a committee to wait upon the Water Company with view to making a contract with the company to provide water for fire protection for the town. The suggestion precipitated the discussion.s It was. remarked by one of the councilmen that Nogales, Arizona, should have a contract with the Water Company similar to that between the company and Nogales, Sonora, and a couple of them expressed willingness to act in favor of such a contract, but fur ther discussion failed to disclose that there was anyone in the council room who knew what man. mer of contract existed between the company and the town across the line.
 Mayor Brickwood addressed the council and called attention clear ly and pointedly to the disagreea- ble fact that the expiration of the old contract with the Water Com pany left the town practically without fire protection and he thought it the duty of the council to act upon the matter at once, and if the Water Company made no proposition to the council the coun- cil should make a proposition to the Water Company. He express ed the opinion thas the council should take immediate action toward providing the town with the best fire protection possible and that failure on the part of the council to do so would be, in his opinion, almost criminal. He said he believed about ninety per cent of the revenues of the town came from the business houses, and he believed they should be given the best protection possible with out delay.
 The result of the talk was that the council as q committee of the whole decided to wait upon the Water Company and make a prop osition for water for fire protection and other purposes, and special meeting for that purpose will prob ably be held within a few days.
 The council ordered that side walks be laid upon the principal residence streets of the town, Craw- ford street, Elm street, Terrace avenue, Sonoita avenue and West avenue. The sidewalks are to be put in at the expense of the prop

Directors of Board of Trade Advise
 Council in Matter

6OQUCii t0 mdLIST.
 The board of directors of the No- gales and Santa Cruz County Board of Trade, in session Thursday night, also discussed the water question and adopted the following resolution, a copy of which was sent to each of the councilmen yester- day:
 RESOLVED: That it is common knowledge that the supply of water furnished the town in the past by the Nogales Water Company for fire protection, has been exceeding ly unreliable and unsatisfactory; that we recognize our water sup ply, coming from the Mexican side of the boundary line, may, in the future, be entirely absorbed on that side of the line; that we recog- nize that the Water Company de- rives double the revenue from the American side of the line that it does from the Mexican side; and that, in view of the foregoing, we recommend to the council of the Town of Nogales, that in any new contract entered into with the Water Company, the town be pro tecteG with reliable water supply and pressure for fire service; that a supply of water originating on the American side of the line be re, established, and that any new contract contain such a provision; that the Water Company be re- quired to pay an equitable tax, either in service or money; and that any new contract made with the Water Company be at least as favorable as the contract now ex- isting with the Town of Nogales, Sonora"
 Resolutions were adopted criti- cizing the San Francisco Examiner 1 for publishing reports to the effect that there is revolutionin Sonora and that 2000 men were marching on a Sonora town, as such reports are very damaging to this section of the country.
 A telegram of inquiry from the Los Angeles Wholesalers Board of Trade, was read by Mir. Curtis, in regard to the financial difficulties of Scoville x Beck, The secretary was instructed to write the Los An geles Wholesalers Board of Trade that the assignment was not due to dishonesty or fraud. and that the assets of the firm exceed their lia |, bilities; that all creditors will be paid in fall and that the board con siders the assignee appointed trust worthy and honest.
