Obstructing cthe Work at Panama

The country at large understanding
somewhat of the sources of the current
attempts to discredit and thwart the
Presidents policies, will not be surprised
at anything that may be said regarding
what has thus far been done on the
Isthmus of Panama Three facts NAV
be asserted; % We have entered upon
a gigantic undertaking; (2) we have
made the President responsible for it: 60
there have been no mistakes that need
arouse suspicion or cause anxiety The
original form of the Canal Commission
was not well adapted to produce results.
The President recognized the commits
sion in such a way as to make it more
effective. He took steps to provide for a
stable currency on the Isthmus, because
it was a necessary business proceeding.
There are obstructlonists in the Senate
who crticise the President for having
done these things well, because they
hold that he did them without specific
authority of law. What the President
has been trying to do has been to exercise
good faith the authority conferred upon
him to proceed with the work at Panama.
And he has taken it for granted that
the greater authority included the less
In other words, since the law has given
him full authority TO proceed it is fair
to assume that his authority includes
the right to do those things in detail that
are indispensable to the main undertak-
ing. There will be canal investigations
and interminable criticism at Washing
ton, but the public may rest assured that
President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft.
Chief Engineer Stevens and Chairman
Shonts of the Canal commission with
Judge Magoon DIS minister to Panama
and governor of the canal zone, are
doing their work with rare intelligence
and fidelity. The people of the United
States are very lucky indeed, to have
this canal undertaking in such COM
petent hands. Congress has a perfect
right to investigate and crticise, and it
has unquestioaably the power both to
obstruct the canal work and TO stop it
altogether. But the people of the country
should understand that here is no ground
whatsoever for serious criticism, and
that if the canal work does not proceed
henceforth with great rapdity, it will be
Congress and not the President that
should be blamed. In the not very
distant future there will be a special
message to Congress dealing with the
question whether or not the canal should
be sea- level or be built with locks. From

TURN WOMEN
AWAY FROM DRUGS
Dangerous Stimulants No Longer Needed
-Rexall Mucu-Tone Brings Per-
manent Health and ViSor

"My husband worries so, Doctor, you
simply must give me something to key
me up-something that will make me
bright and cheerful when he comes home
at night"
Thousands of unfortunate women are
in just this position-women who are
rapidly breaking down in body and whose
minds are becoming dark and dull with
suffering and despair.
They have tried to fight off i'll health;
have struggled to keep up in spite of pain
and weakness that their husbands should
not guess their condition.
At last comes a day when they can do
this no longer. Their strength is gone;
their will power no longer strong enough
to carry them through. So they turn to
druggist and doctor, not for slow acting
tonics that will gradually restore health,
but for some drug that will give tempo
rary strength-that will key them up
that will make them bright and cheer
full for even a few hours.
The result of such course needs no
comment. How different it would have
been had they turned to Rexall Mucu-
Tone instead of drugs. From the first
dose MpcuTone's strengthening influence
is felt but instead of running mind and
body, it restores both to health and vigor.
Read what it did for Mrs Funk:-
A WONDERFUL RECOVERY.
Thank Heaven for Rexall Mucu-Tone II
has given me back health and strength after
years of weakness, pain and physical eXhaus-
ton: was completely broken down and GER
tainly looked ten years older than lam. Local
treatment would benefit me temporarily but in
a few weeks my trouble always returned worse
than ever. Then heard of your Nlucu-Tone,
and though did not believe it possible to cure
complaints of this nature by taking anything
in the stomach, determined to give Mucu- one
a trial. cant tell you how glad / am that
did. Almost the first dose seemed to brace me
up and give me new strength. and by the time
the first bottle was gone all disagreeable symp-
toms had disappeared. am now finishing the
second bottle and can truthfulty say never
felt better in my life eat well, sleep well
weight.

Tomorrow the Mardi Gras fes- tiyities will commence in the town across the line and as usual the people of both towns will join in the celebration. Nor will all the pleasures of the occasion be con fined to the Mexican side oi the line.
 Tomorrow afternoon there will be d game of base ball between the Cananea team and the Diamond N team of Nogales. The clubs have met before, the Nogales ag- gregation losing game to the Cananea players at Cananea last summer. Since then both teams have been materially strengthened and have had much practice. They are pretty equally matched and Dr. Moons players realize that every man must play ball every second during the nine or more innings of the gtme. Of course the game will be playel on the grounds cn the American side and the confetti and serpentina oper- ations will be suspended during the excitement, that residents of both towns may attend.

The visitor, of course, tobogganed to the bottom and after cutting a ditch in the thick layer of saw dust on the floor, crawled out from under table and brushed off his clothes. After challenging separately each man Tn the barroom to d rough-and- tumble and finding none to give him an opportunity to wreak ven- geance, he left the place, muttering uire threats against everyone con nected herewith. Half an hour later he returned, accompanied by friend, also a stranger. After drinking, both men ascended the stairs to the Art Gallery" When returning the gentleman who had "been there before" considerably allowed his friend 10 precede him. The friend descended about three steps then duplicated the perfor- nance executed by the first visitor half an hour before, while that gentleman, still at the head of the stairs, doubled uo like a jackknife and uttered shriek after shriek of laughter, vowing it was the best thing he had ever seen.

IS AN EXPERIENCED BOOMER FROM
 OKLAHOMA CITY.
Discusses New Town Scheme w tn Reporter While Passing
 Through Nogales.

Thursday morning of last week there passed through Nogales, travelling from Guaymas, Sonora, to Oklahoma City, Mir. c. W. Patrick, one of the projectors of the City of Victoria, the myster- ions metropolis of the State of Sonora, Mexico. Had the gentle man stopped over in the line city for the day, THE OASIS would in all probability De able to give the blue print city of the Rio Yaqui region another boost" that might result bene6ciallY to some of the residents of the once much boomed territory Of Oklahoma, in that 1t might induce them to leave in the bank till further information" ]" that portion of their meager saw ings which they are now doling out to the vendors of lots in the south ern Sonora desert.
 Though Mir. Patrick expressed a desire to meet Mir. Bird of TIE OASIS and have corrected some of the errors that have crept into print in regard to the future 'Pittsburg of Mexico" his desire in that respect was not sufficiently strong to induce him to lose "a day of his valuable time. Many lots may be proftably disposed of in d day, and there are many people seeking the whereabouts of the magic city.
 We have all we claim to have, ' said Mir. Patrick to the TIE OASIS reporter who accosted him at the depot, while he was attending to the transfer of his luggage. We own five lots down there and the town of Victoria is plated on Lot No. 2. It is not exactly on the Yaqui River, but Lot IS is the only lot between 1t and the river.
 Why, we are the people who built Oklahoma City and I was the first mayor of Oklahoma. Yes, sir; we practically built that city. l can give you all kinds of refer ences to show that l am all right and that everybody connected with the Toledo Development < Exploration Company is all right, Oh, l wish had more time to talk to you about this natter
 "So do 1, ]" responded the reporter. There are number of questions that 1 would like to ask you in re- gard to Victoria. For instance. there was the statement made by Mr. W F. Reece of Gotobe. Okla homa, who told me it was repre- sented to him by the people from whom he purchased a lot in Vie toria, that the deed to the lot (which he had not up to that time received) Nould give him the right to take up 250 acres of fine farm- ing land in the veeinity of the new town and give him the further

priVllege Ot Duylng Tn 0,UUU acres of good agricultural land in the same vecinity at 374 cents an acre. How about it?"
 1t is not so. We make no such representation and I have a letter from MT. Reece denying that inter. view"
 Mir. Reece made the statement referred to, while conversing with TIE OASIS reporter in the pres ence of others.)
 Well" questioned the reporter, "how about the million dollar smelter and the 800 men already employed in the mines and saw mills near Victoria?"
 That was just mistake. We were misinformed We thought th9t the work was going on there at the time. We were misinform- ed, that was all.
 Well, Mir. Patrick, the train is about to pull out and We haven't time to discuss the matter fully. But have read some of your cir culars describing the country about Victoria and have been told by men who have travelled through that section that there is no such country as that described in the section mentioned. Now, weren't those circulars distributed with the deliberate intention of misrepre- senting the country and mislead- ing possible purchasers2"
 No, sir; they were not. No- thing of the kind. There were some mistakes, but they were the result of transformation. We were misinformed. There is no inten- ton to misrepresent anything. We own the ground and have right to sell it."
 And as you own the land and have Il right to sell it, suppose it makes no difference if the lots are not worth ten cents; if you can sell them for $50 suppose the pur- chasers have no redress. Have they?"
 No Sir. That is just what I say. We own the land and if they buy 1t they have no redress. We don't misrepresent anything in tentionally. We own the land and we are selling 1t.
 And say, you know the man Johnson who first told MT. Bird about hunting for the City of Vic- toria and who had blue print of the town. Why he is now out selling lots for us. Yes, sir; he is convinced that we are all right, and
 Just then the conductors "all aboard" interrupted the interview, and after a handshake and mutual expressions of regret at not being able to coEtinne the conversation, the reporter and the father of Vic torla parted.
 But as the reporter wended his way toward Harry's place for an early morning bite, he thought of Mir. Johnson, whom Mr. Patrick says is now selling lots for them, though unable himself to locate the "city" after he made a pur- chase. He also thought of scene he witnessed in Chicago some years ago and could not help com pairing the hero of it with Mr. Patrick's new representative in the lot selling business.
