Cut Out Middiemen.

Omaha, Neb.-The fight between the
packers and the stock commission men
over the purchases of "she stun" sub
Ject to post-mortem examination, took
a new turn when Armour & Co. pur-
chased 800 cows direct from the cattle
raisers, subject to the new rule OF the
packers governing this class OF live
stock.
Commission men at all yards are ad-
vising shippers and raisers not to ship
stock until the new order is rescinded.
This is the first break In the cattle
growers line. Armours' manager said
the "she stuff" was purchased at nor
NAL fiugres." but refused to state the
actual price.
Commission dealers upon the live
stock exchange are wrought up over
the direct purchase by packers from
the shippers instead Of having the sale
pass through their hands.

Annoy, CHINA great battle no
tween the imperial troops and rebels
is reported In progress near Swatow.
Thousands of men are engaged. No
word has been received here as to
which side has the best Of the fighting
While the movements of the rebel
and imperial armies are not definitely
known, II is believed the goldiers we're
able to overhaul the revolutionists in
tho race for Swatow. 1t is hoped the
troops will be able to prevent the reb
els from capturing the seaport, but Il,
ig admitted by the authorities that the,
issue is in doubt.
Fighting in the recent battle, while
not long continued. was OF the fercest
character. In very short engage;
ment nearly ! 900 men fell. The rebels
were heaviest losers in the fight and
quickly retired 1t is believed only
their advance guard was engaged and
that with the arrival OF reinforcemonts
the struggle for the possession OF
Swatow was resumed.
That the rebels in the neighborhood
OF Swatow far outnumber the troops
IL well known. Reports are that as
many as 10000 armed men are In the
rebel army II is doubtful n the I'm
perial forces number over 1000 men.
Inc SOldlerS, OF course, nave the ao

many former army officers are with
the rebels, and they have been able
to bring the rebel forces to higher
state of efficiency than usually obtains
among revolutionists.
Throughout China the situation Ia
much worse, and every dispatch says
the revolt is spreading. Another rebel
army was reported near Chang Chow,
threatening to attack thar city, one oi

The Cane Crop.

Louisiana Planter.
Rains have fallen very gener-
ally throughout the sugar dis
trict although there are some
localities which have failed to
receive any. Where no rainfall,
or only a small rainfall, has been
had the planters are complaining
somewhat loudly, but where ade-
quate precipitation has occurred
the crop outlook is such that no
criticism can be made of it. The
temperature especially, at night,
has not been as high as it Ordi-
narily is at this season of the
year. and this lack of heat is
undesirable and has prevented
the cane from growing quite as
rapidly as it would have done il
we had the hot nights customary
at this season. A good crop,
however, seems assured along
the line.

USE THE OPPORTUNITIES AT
HAND.

1t has been said, and with
Justice, that mankind is too
prone to overlook the OppOrtuni-
ties that lie at hand, fancying
that they must go away from
home to find advantages. An
illustration of this is found in
the disposition of nearly all COM
munities, as soon as they awake
t. the necessity of progress, to
want to reach out north, east,
west and south after factories,
while neglecting to do what
could be done in the way of ex-
tending their trade, improving
their town and assisting in pro-
noting means and methods
which would result in increasing
the productivity of the surround
ing country.
Unquestionably the acquire
ment of industries by a town is
a most desirable thing. but at
the same time we must not lose
sight of the fact that the estab-
lishment of a factory does not al
ways mean a success. for no fac
tory can be a success unless a
market can be found for its
products, and the bigger and
more pretentious the factory the
more difficult it is to make it a
success because of the greater
difficulty in finding an immediate
market for it's output.
On the other hand persistent
and intelligent efforts along the
line of fostering the natural trib-
utary trade of a town, never los
ing sight of any chance to in
crease their trade territory, is
certain to give results promptly
and proportionately. This op-
portunity is ready at hand and
should be seized and made
the most of. Factories and
other good things should be cap
tured if possible, but not to the
neglect of this important and al
ways practical work.
Another and exceedingly valu-
able opportunity of every town,
awaiting the using. is that of ex-
erting their best endeavors to-
wards promoting an increase in
the productivity of the surround.
ing territory. The possibilities
in this direction may be partly
realized when one thinks for al
moment of what it would mean
should a method of. culture be
found that would double the cot

ton yield, for instance, on the
same amount of acreage at prac-
tically the same expense of Guilt
walton. But it is not necessary
that the crop should be doubled.
every increase means that much
more in trade and prosperity for
both town and country, and its
accomplishment is not a question
of doubt, for it is easily possible
to produce more than is now
produced mt the same or at least
very little greater cost.
The town that recognizes the
Importance of directing their eff
forts along this line and at all
times gives full support to every
movement having for its object a
development of the productive
ness of the surrounding country
is doing wisely for itself ard lay
ing the foundation for substan
tial growth.
Chief among the many ways
for promoting this increased pro-
ductivity is a well conducted
parish or county fair with a pro
gressive, widc-awake and ener-
getic manager, and the time is
now opportune for Lafayette to
get in line with the parish fair
movement spreading over the
State and lay the plans for one
of the best fairs in the State in
October, 1908.

GENERAL TORRES INVITED

It seems that there is proba bill ity of Governor Luis k. Torres of Sonora, attending the territorial fair at Phoenix. in November. The following from the Gazette, of Phe- nix, in that connection, will be read with interest by the many readers of THE OASIS in Sonora:
 It having been brought to the atien- ton of Gobernor kibbey and the ter ritorial fair commission yesterday, that General Luis E. Torres, governor of So- nora, Mexico, was taking great deal of interest in the Arizona territorial fair, both the governor and the comm ssion forwarded a formal invitation to Gov ernor and Mrs. Torres to be present as their guests during fair week.
 While this may be regarded in some quarters as a mere formal proceeding it is known that Governor Torres has more than passing interest in Arizona affairs and that he has kept close watch of the growth of the fair enterprise. The cordial relation existing between the two countries have promoted this interest and the governor has shown himself willing at all times to further cement these relations. It is therefore not only hoped, but quite confidently expected that General and Mrs. Torres and perhaps other distinguished officials of the southern republic will be in att tendance.

ALL the desperate effort of the two.Pellegrins and their nondescript to break the force of the expose they have invited of the incompe- tence or dishonesty shown in assays for lead on government account, and bullion assaying on private account, avail them nothing. For a long time the public have been suspicious of Pellegrin's assaying. Now their suspicious have been verified, and the two are set crazy by the pickle they have put them- selves into.

THE president of the Chicago school board has replied very cav aliery to request of committee of ladies that bible reading shall be taken up in the public schools. He believes that in no way should religious instruction be incorpo- rated in the public school system. It is strange how some people are about having their children read the bible. There would be no re- ligious instruction in reading a chapter from the scripture at the opening of school every morning.

DENY THE REPUTATION.

Col. Henry Pyeatt and Cyclone Bill Bower were in town yesterday and re- port everything in comprehension fine, and the price of yearlings high. The only desertion from the roundup recorde, so far has been that of Ben Powell, who cut out his mount and went home to start roundup of his own. The Colonel says that Ben has big chicken crop this fall and will cut out his steer chickens and ship them to Nogales, where Editor Miller will handle them for him.-Cochise County Press.
 Upon behalf of Editor Miller THE OASIS denies the imputation conveyed. Buttinski is the only Nogales editor who would run with that kind of chickens.

And no one was hurt at any time from perusal of the book of books" All the most noted infidels and atheists have been constant and regular readers. And in one fam iliar with bible lore there may be found always a command of lan- guage, wealth of imagery and precision of expression that can be acquired by the study of no other book. For these reasons 1t should be read in the schools every day. But the so-called "free thinker" cranks have shut it out from the schools, and there is no probability of its return.

CHURCH conventions and convoc- ations continue to consider the "Divorce evil" and deliver fulmin- ations. To the mass of mankind interference in such matters by any church is looked upon with supreme indifference. With too much indifference, perhaps, but it exists all the same; and the efforts of the church to make divorce laws more stringent are doomed to failure.

CREDIT WHERE DUE.

In considering the great develop ment that is under way in the Ya- qui delta, which is receiving a de- served attention in the columns of THE OASIS, and in giving due credit for the extensive operations of the Richardson Construction Company, there should not be lost to sight the fact that much credit is due also to Don Luis E. Torres, governor of Sonora and general in command of the military zone in which is in- cluded the state named. Don Luis has recognized long the latent pos abilities of the great delta of the Yaqui, and has been ready ever to lend strong helping hand to any enterprise or undertaki which contemplated their development. When the Richardson Construc- tion Company took hold of the dormant enterprise and set about restoring the canal head destroyed by the great freshet in the river some years ago, General Torres devoted himself immediately to a labor of love in aiding the company in all ways possible to attain the great object it had in hand; and he gave an earnest and hearty support to the great undertaking, which he realizes so thoroughly means so much for Sonora. Using his great influence with the federal govern ment Don Luis urged the Secretary of Fomento to give the enterprise his official support, and to smooth the way to the granting of neces- sary concessions. He wrote to the general government a series of let ters commenting strongly the way iii which work was pushed on the new headworks, last Spring, saving the summer crops of hundreds of waiting farmers, and he was of material assistance to Mir. Davis Richardson, president of the Ri- chardson Construction Company, in securing a concession for water to supply permanently the canal now in use, as we'll as for another canal to be constructed in the future. In the fruition of this great enterprise, and in the plans for colonization under considera- tion, Governor Torres has taken great interest, and has given valu- able assistance in many ways. When in the future the Yaqui delta will be the seat of redundant and wealthy population and the history is written of the great enterprise
