THEIR QUALIFICATIONS.


 quarrel. They are all estimable gentlemen, good business men, and many of them are warm personal friends of TIE OASIS editor. With out doubt some of them have been misled into belief that there is some foundation for the assertions made by the Dromio newspaper, and that by getting into the breach and accepting places upon the ticket they are doing the public a real service; and there is no doubt that some of them have. been nom mated against their will, and have no desire for election. One of that description, Mr. J. H. Pome- roy, has resigned already from the ticket. But in matters of pub- lie moment THE OASIS has never let friendship stand between it and its duty as it sees 1t. And as this newspaper holds that the Buttinski ticket is a complete superhuity, while regretting to see it's friends allowing themselves to be used by the two Dromios, 1t has no hesitan- cy in calling attentionto the points wherein they fail to meet the demands of the occasion.
 In the first place at least two of the candidates for seats upon the town board are not legally quail fled to hold the offices for which they have been nominated. They art. not freeholders. The law ex- plicitly states that men must be freeholders to hold seats upon municipal boards. The records have been carefully examined, and at this writing there is on record nothing to show that either Mir. Bowman or Mir. Leeker is a freehold- erin Nogales Both are excellent gentlemen, and personally THE OASIS prefers them to some of the candidates upon the opposite ticket, but they are not legally qualified for the two posts for which nomi- mated, making unavailable two of the strongest men upon that ticket.
 While not having had any op portunity to converse with Mir. Pfoto in the matter, THE OASIS is confident that the gentleman can be classed in the category of those who have been induced to go upon the ticket while not wanting to do so. Twice has Mir. Proto served upon the town board of Nogales, and he always found his public duties very irksome and constant ly interfering with his extensive business. He is one of the best business men in the Southwest, and if he would give the duties at tention would make model coun- cilman. But the record shows that he has not done so heretofore, and for the very best reasons. Mir. Proto does not want to serve, and judging by the past he would give the town affairs very little atten- ton.
 The same objection applies to Mir. Spink. He k now a member of the town board, and it is assert ed that his reponses to roll call at board meetings during the past two years have been infrequent. Why re-elect the gentleman to repeat the record for inattention he has made already?
 Another candidate for the board. Mir. Hermosillo, Is asserted to have said that he wishes to get upon the board to cancel the contract with the Nogales Water Go. for water for fire purposes. If that assertion be

BASE 1T ON THE HEPBURN LAW
New Charge Imposed for Loading
Freiqht in Carload Lots

Los Angeles business tganizations
will be affected by a new freight condi-
tion put into effect by the Soutehrn
Pacific Santa Fe and Salt Lake rail-
roads, whereby they will charge 20
cents, minimum, per ton for loading
and unloading'freight in carload lots.
Thomas w. Pate, w. d. Bridges and
j. F. Hixon, local freight agents, have
notified merchants that it will be 'un-
lawful for railroads to assist in load
ing or unloading carloads after Novem-
Der 8, except at a charge of 20 cents
q ton.
The railroads have construed the
Hepburn rate law as furnishing grounds
for this additional charge.
Some estimate that the new charge
will cost dealers of Los Angeles $1,000
900 year.
Estimating the carloads of freight
handled at Los Angeles to be 800 cars
a day the aggregate is 100000, being
nearly 81 q car, based on the tonnage

WANTS $4,000 FOR SKINNED
Sims
Widow Seeks $1,000 for Loss Of Her
Husband, Who Walked on
the Track in Front of
Car

Suits aggregating SAP, 900 were filed
yesterday in the superior courts in
which the various plaintiffs asked dam
ages for injuries to themselves or rela-
tives occasioned by alleged neglect and
carelessness on the part of railway
employees in connection with recent
street car accidents.
In one suit a man asks heavy dam
ages, his chief statement of grief being
that eh received a heavy confusion of
the tibia bone, or in other words, was
cracked on the shins. He asks about
$4,000 or more, while in the third case
filed the widow of a street car victim
asks $1,000 compensation for the loss of
her husband, who was killed by q street
car several months ago.
The widow is Mrs. Matte NJ. Lentz,
who has three children, the eldest be-
ing years of age, to support, and she
filed suit yesterday as administrative
for the estate of James p. Lentz.
The victim, a teamster, died on the
night of August Il, after having been
struck by a street car.

as set forth in the complaint, Lentz
left street car of the Los Angeles

to the other side of the street walked in

car with the usual fatal result
1t is alleged he was thrown fifty feet
distant by the blow from the front of
the car. 1t is further alleged that the
city bound car was going at a rate of
twenty-five miles an hour and that
there were certain obStructions on the
track which prevented the unfortunate
man from seeing the approaching Jug
gernaut.
