FRENCH BISHOPS PLEA.
Contemplate n Perpetual Lease of tn
 Church Properties.


 Church Properties.
 Paris. Jan. 29-The proposition which the French bishops, with the approval of the Pope. have now submitted to the government, seems to offer the first real prospect of an adjustment of the con- fiict between the church and State un- der the separation regime.
 While it involves material modfica- tion of the position taken in the last Papal encyclical. tho proposition put forward has all the appearance of an in spite of the concessions made and making in the interest of religious peace. will accept a settlement based on the absolute recognition of the Ro- man hierarchy remains to be seen.
 The model contract which the bishops have submitted provides for the Vir- tual lease of the churches in perpetu- lty to the parish priests by the Mayors. the leases being for eighteen years and renewals set by their successors The leases, which carry a stipulation, en- gazing the communal, municipal and State authorities not to interfere with tho administration of the church and parish, are invalid without the express ratification of the bispoh and become null the moment the parish priests lose the bishops authorization.
 The bishops must act together to in sure the acceptance of the contracts everywhere, or nowhere.
 It developed today that the report that Cardinal Richard, the Archbishop of Paris, had summoned another meet ing uf the Episcopate. was not cor rect. The cardinal only summoned meetings Of the regional assemblages of bishops, 10 which the Pope's decision was communicated.

THE FIFTEENTH YEAR.

v and with this issue terminates the fourteenth year of it's existence. In entering upon the fifteenth year of publication the management does so with no small amount of complacency. To establish and maintain throughout a period of fourteen years such newspaper as is TIE OASIS would be an achiev- ement in any field. To have done so in this field, and under the adverse circumstances encountered is more than an achievement. And Mithal there has been d whole lot
 satisfaction. Perhaps there # ould not have been so mucn fun, and so much satisfaction had the road travelled been not so rocky. But that Is all a part of the ex- perience, and adds much to the complacency felt now. Looking back over 1t all it seems now very comical and very amusing; and 1t is yet, to see the scowling faces with which the editor IS greeted in some quarters, when he passes upon the street some of those who have with them yet the smarting sense of having gone up against the real thing.n While much of the ex- perience was quite serious at the time, yet even then there was in it all something at which to laugh. When the most strenuous time of all was on, and the late Colonel Harlow and THE OASIS man were conducting "the fight of their lives," the editor frequently de- clared to Harlow that "Nogales presents a wealth of material for the farce comedy dramatist, and were Hoyt, the author of The Milk White Flag, the Tin Soldier a Bunch of Keys etc. to come to Nogales he would find all that he needed for a screaming farce comedy, with Bird and Harlow as central and most ridiculous figures" And so he would. Har- low always winced at the state ment, for there was too much truth in it to set we'll, but he took 1t fairly well, and allowed that he would make some other people look d-d sight more ridiculous"
 After that mess of fish was cleaned up things were pretty quiet for long time, until the advent amid these scenes of the unspeak
 able George K. French. He was the long sought Moses who was to lead out of the newspaper wilder ness the good people of Nogales. Those who signed notes to set him up in the newspaper business, ito run out TIE OASIS" are yet nursing those self same notes in their in- side pockets" And whenever the name French Is mentioned in the hearing of any one of them .straightway he looks as if he had been caught stealing sheep. And then the lackwitted Buttinski butted in. The greatest joke of all. It is to laugh to look at him at any time. Ye godsl Wouldn't ne cut a figure depicted by a master comedian in farce comedy presenting actual occurrences in which he has attempted to figure? And the show would have an added scream Tn correct representation of bis almost equally ridiculous brother. Such performance would lay in the shade completely l.. n

 oi ia stage, reading copy of The OAsis.
 But that is cn poss0pt, all and in a measure i4 a digrcssion lt is with the real work of the fourteen years now brougbt to q close, that this article is to deal In locating TIE OASIS at NogaIes the move was based upon 4 profound faith in the then undeyeloped riches of the great region tributary 10 the line city. The management be- lieved that here was q field for such a newspaper as they knew they could make. They were bit ahead of time, perhaps, but the development has commenced now. and progress is in full swing all along the line. The future which was seen then with the eye of faith, IS now the golden present; and it is assuming rapidly the brilliant naturalization and gorgeous hues with which it was depicted and painted long years ago by the brush of hope. That TIE OASIS has contributed to bringing the results now apparent goes without saying. And it's work has but commenced. With the ramifca- tion of the railway system upon all sides its peculiar work will be en- larged and extended. Since he took up the great work THE OASIS editor has visited all parts of the great state of Sonora and the 'Ari zona border. Thousands of miles have been travelled upon "the hur- ricane deck of a mule" Except for short side trips that me thod of locomotion has been superseded, and soon can the editor visit the scenes of his extended travels in Pullman car. The remote regions to visit and describe which required formerly weeks of travel may be visited now in days; and gathering the news of all that great region will be facilitated and improved. Beyond that are the great regions southward, in the state of Sinaloa, and other commonwealths of the Mexican republic upon the Pacific slope, which will be within the peculiar and particular field of TIE OASIS very shortly Within couple of years the entire state of Sinaloa will be closer to the pubIi- cation office than has been Alamos or La Dura heretofore.
 With such an outlook for the future, is there not reason for TIE OASIS people to feel selfsatsfed and complacent? With an estab- lished newspaper, q world wide reputation, Tn q great and rapidly growing field what more could be. wanted by any newspaper man. And at the end of fourteen years more will TIE OASIS be found still in No gales, under the present manage ment, presenting to the world the resources and advantages of one of the greatest and most resourceful regions upon the face of the planet
