bra, he aqui ell eco de la religion
cristiana, iniciada por ell hijo de
un pobre carpintero, y llevada al
mundo por sus Ap6stoles, con f6
y valor.
Pero, mientras ell Estado sea
ministro de la prostitution y tutor
del libertinaje, en- una palabra,
mientras la mujer sea esclava del
egoismo del hombre, la divina mi
sion de Jesucristo estara incom-
pleta.
La emanclpaci6n de la mujer es-
ia en- ell 6rden natural de las cosas,
y .por 10 tanto, forma una parte
esencial de los designios de la ley
de Dios. Los hombres de mente Y
coraz6n, tengan presente que ell
Creador del Universe hizo 4 la
mujer compahera del hombre, no
esclava, y que, por cOnSecuencla,
tenemos ell deber imprescindible de
unirnos en- la Santa Cruzada, para
colocar & la mujer en- ell lugar que'
Dios lie ha destinado en- la terra,
para ell bien nuestro, para la hon
ra de la Sociedad y la gloria de
Dios.

HoiISe to break the force of President Roosevelt's clear and convincing letter on statehood to Doctor Mark Rodgers, published in THE OASIS, Tucson Star and many other papers throughout Arizona last week. the Arizona Republican has insinuated that the letter was 2 personal commun- ication from the President to a personal friend, who violated con- tidence in its publication. But that sample of unfairness is no more than what has been present. ed by that anti-iointure propagan- da all along. So long as possible they deny facts, and then seek to break their force by inuendo and bluff.

gro THE LAND OF SUNSHINE.

THE OAsIs Is in receipt of a num- Der of valuable and interesting books and pamphlets issued by the Bureau of Immigration of New Mexico which are we'll worthy oi perusal by Arizonans as giving clear and definite descriptions in detail, of the sister territory. which in the wisdom of Congress has been proposed to join to this terri tory to make the great and glorious state of Arizona. There are sever al Of these works. The first is entitled ITO the Land of Sun- shine.n Another is New Mexico Mines and Minerals And there is the Legislative Manual for 1905," replete with detailed infor- nation with regards to many in- teresting matters. There are sew eral bulletins, descriptive of individual counties, and number of smaller bulletins upon special subjects of interest and valuable to those looking for new locations. The entire collection indicates an intelligent and well directed effort upon the part of the bureau of im- migration to make known to the world at large the advantages and benefits offered by location in New Mexico.
 The first and most important work, "To the Land of Sunshine, :" is volume of 445 pages, hand- somely illustrated with fine half tone engravings, giving true and accurate reproductions of photo graphs of very handsome public and private edifices, in the cities, views in orchards, on stock ranges, in hay and grain fields, on the lines of irrigation ditches, etc, that convey to the enquiring mind far better and more accurate conception of the scenes depicted than would pages of description. Of the engravings mentioned, large and small, there are several hun- dred. and a glance over them will be all that one should need to be convinced that in all of its general characteristics New Mexico is very similar to Arizona. The views of the various court houses and private and public edi6ces in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and other cities, compare very fayorably with views of similar structures in Tucson, Phoenix, Nogales, Prescott, and other places in Arizona of

 the same men as those whose

 The views n the hay and grain
 fields and orchards ot the Pecos
 valley and ihe San Juan country, could be labeled as in the Salt
 River Valley, or in the valley of
 the Upper Gila, and no one would
 be the wiser. The views of the
 mining plants at Magdalena,
 Jicarilla, Pinos Altos. and other points would pass as we'll for min ing camps in Arizona. while the
 views of the iron mines and the coal mines call attention to great and valuable resources not possessed by Arizona.
 The work entitled New Mexico Mines and Minerals is a full and extended description of the geology and mineral characteristics of the territory, by counties, by Mir. F. A. Jones, c. E., E. M., q competent geologist and mining engineer, which shows very plainly that New Mexico has latent and devel- oped mineral resources that will compare favorably with those of Arizona, and will De supple mentary in q sense to our own. Particularly is this true of the iron and coal deposits of the northern part of New Mexico. In the little work mentioned there are fair and accurate descriptions of those great mineral resources of our sister territory, and proposed appanage in statehood.
 The bulletins mentioned consist of descriptions of Bernalillo, San Juan and Santa Fe counties. Having been resident of San Juan number of years, and knowing the county thoroughly as it was in the early sos, TIE OASIS editor recognizes the accuracy of the general description, and must confess that the evidence of progress and advancement since that time is very remarkable.
 The special bulletins treat of various subjects, one being q guide to immigrants, with information about lands. land laws, etc.; and dIQiAlGA ~ lNShAIC VI ki1C ulllllllA industry in the territory. It shows that the coal production for the year 1905 was 1 .600,000 tons, and 85,000 tons of coke. Production is constantly increasing, and several. railways have been built into the coal fields, to connect them with transcontinental systems, and make them accessible to great markets. One of the greatest coal fields in the territory passed under control of Phelps, Dodge & Co, the copper magnates, and supplies for their great smelters at Douglas, come from that field Last year 336 coke ovens were erected and
