 and have not yet brought Co per-
 lection the plans they had pre-
 pared for giving the town a sys-
 tenn that would be commensurate
 with all needs. Three years ago
 their improvements had so in- creased the protection against fire that the underwriters made ma terial reduction in rates which has saved annually in insurance pre- miums paid by Nogales business men the handsome sum of $6,- 250.00. Almost nineteen thousand dollars saved to the business com- munity within that three years. And the new fve-inch mains, with the big reservoir on the hill, when completed, would have effected yet another saving. The gentlemen in the water company have been working all that eight years of their ownership to bring about beneficient results as set forth above. The first four years of their work they received neither salaries nor dividends. During the past four years they have had div ldends, but nothing extraordinary. The same money invested in any other business in Nogales would have done better. Really are not the gentlemen entitled to fair treatment? THE OASIS believes they are. And it has no hesitancy in the assertion that they have not received it.

WHY THE DlFFEREncE7

Mir. Lindsay, Mir. Schuckman, Mir. Curtis, and their associates can (and have) put $50,000.00 into the banking business in Nogales, and they loan their capital together with a certain portion, prescribed by law, of the money deposited in that bank, at twelve per cent. per annum. That is all right; and no one gainsays their right to realize that return upon their investment, or a return as much greater as they can get. Were an attempt made to do so they could and would withdraw their investments, to take their money elsewhere, among people who would not be continually hectoring them. But Mir. Ephraim, MT. Pascholy and others have put into a system to supply Nogales with water like amount of money, and THE OASIS would like some person to give a good and valid reason why they should not be given the same con- sideration with their money in- vested in the water business that would be given were it put into the banking business? Is it because their capital is tied down in the form of permanent improvements, and cannot be taken away so read iily as can banking capital, that they shall be at the mercy of those having taxes to grind" and they can be "put out of commission" as the "Daily Squirt" alleges they have been, by a hasty and summary action of the municipal council, without notice, without hearing, and without due consideration? Surely Nogales is not nest of An archists that money legitimately invested in a legitimate public service can be deliberately wiped out of existence by "putting out of commission" the corporation that made the investment. And the water company has as much right, surely, to the running rate of profit upon its investment that the bank has.
 It would be just as well for those who are so loudly decrying and berating the water company to re- call and take into consideration what has been done since it passed under the present ownership. Eight years ago Messrs. Ephraim and PaschoIy bought the corpora 1ion from the Chenoweths. Those

The painting season will soon be on.
There VIII be lots of repainting of old
buildings in addition to the new ones
that will be erected. Any suggestions as
to where good paint may be had at a
reduced price will be timely. The argu-
ment for Powdrpaint set forth in anoth-
er column is deserving of consideration.
This is paint without oil, n compound
prepared by A J.. Rice, of Adams, N. Y.
which is giving very general satfsfac,
ton. The first great claim I'm favor of
Powdrpaint is that II is SO much cheap-
er than oil paints. 1t comes in powder
form and requires only to be stirred in
cold water. saving as much as three
fourths Of the cost. In appearance and
in lasting qualities 1t is claimed to be
not inferior to oil paints II Is said to
be even better in many cases, owing to
the counterfeitlng and HnposiiIca. nTac-

PhiIIp St. George Cooke.

Editor National Tribune: VIII you
kindly publish a short sketch of Philip
st. George Cooke? Pc. s. Calkins,
Sherwood, Ore.
Philip st. George Cooke was born in
Virginia and appointed from there to
the Military Academy, from which he
graduated July l, 1927, and became a
Second Lieutenant in the 9Th U. S. He
was transferred to the 1st Dragons.
where he became Captain and saw a
great deal of service on the Indian
frontier. During the Mexican War he
commanded a battalion of Missouri
volunteers in California, and was brew
cited a Lieutenant-Colonel. He was
for several years engaged IN expedi-
tions against the Indians and IN quell-
ing the disturbances in Kansas, and
went to Europe in 1859 to study the
cavalry tactics. Upon his return he
was appointed to command the De-
partment of Utah. and held the rank
of Colonel of the I'd U. s. Dragons.
He was appointed a Brigadier-GeneraI
in the Regular Army, Nov. II, 1861,
and commanded the Regular cavalry
IN the defense of Washington and the
Potomac in the Peninsular campaign.
He was relieved from this duty IN July,
1862, and served on courts-martial un-
til August, 1863, when he was placed
in command of the Baton Rouge Dis
trict of the Department of the Gulf.
Next he was appointed General Super
intendent of the recruiting service. and
was brevetted Major-General for gall
lantry and meritorious services. He
was retired Oct. %, 1S73.-Editor Ma

Either as a result of this moving ap-
peal, or from some. other consideration,
the methods of payment have been
changed in Washington, so that the
contractors and their subordinates who
actually do the work are now paid
monthly, and with a reasonable degree
of promptness. Mark Anthony Marcus
will hereafter have less cause for a
picturesque display of dilapidated
grievance. and Gen. Rosewell' has one
fewer financial problem on his stalwart
shoulders.
Thus the warfare between the rival
delivery systems has been waged and
still goes on, with numerous causes for
friction and veXation in both. but with,
perhaps, a resultant stimulus to more
strenuous endeavor, which will, on the
whole, add to the efficiency of our
wonderful Postal Service. And the
rural delivery system is still rapidly
growing, while the star-routes are slow
ly diminishing. The 1876 rural car
riers of 1900 multiplied into 1918 in
1903 and over $4,000 in 1906. They
will undoubtedly number more than
$4,000 when the country is all supplied.

OUARRYING BY BORING.
The New System of Getting Out ston

The centuries-old system of quarry.
ing stone by wedges and by explosives
is giving way to a new process Of saw
ing the stone in great circular columns
by saws which revolve around them
and cut out the rock to a depth of sc
feet sometimes. The usual depth is
from 25 to 35 feet. This system has
been so perfected that n drill will cut
13-foot shaft in 10 hours. There are
various types of cutters employed, one
being a helicoidal cable and another
an iron-plate cylinder, 140 inches In
height and 361s inches in diameter, on
which is mounted a cylindrical knife
IL inches in height. On the lower part
of this knife the teeth are Jared alter
nately, which makes two rows of teeth
permitting the knife to attack the stone
better and to widen the space in which
the cylinder revolves. This knife re-
wolves at the rate of from SO to 60
revolutions per minute.
