Board of Trade Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Board of Trade was held at the board rooms on Tuesday evening with a good attendance of directors.
 Forest Supervisor Wilson, who was present, informed the board that he had taken up with the Washington authorities the request of members of the board for eastern quail with which to stock the local covers. It has been an idea among the local sportsmen for some time past that the government might be interested in an effort to introduce the Bob White, or eastern variety of quail.
 The covers along the Santa Cruz river and the adjacent foot-hill country offer ideal conditions for the rapid propagation of these birds, and with this end in view Supervisor Wilson was appealed to and asked to ascertain if the Forest Service would not take the matter up and place few dozen pairs of such birds on the Forests in this section. Members of the board are also hopeful of being able to get the government to intro duce other game birds from time to time, and thus increase greatly the already attractive list oi game birds to be found within the county.
 While realizing that pushing the business interests of the communi- ty must be it's chief aim, the Board of Trade believes in assisting and boosting anything which tends to give pleasure and recreation to the people of Santa Cruz county.
 Owing to the tight money condi- tions the board has not felt it advisable to ask for money to push advertising plans under considera- ton, but when the money situation grows better the board hopes to take up some new features of ad- vertising, which it believes will be the means of bringing many new people to this section.

His Strong Suit.

Coming up from Hermosillo on the Sonora railway recently, THE OASIS man met a we'll known resident of Nogales returning from a visit down the west coast of Mexico, and with him was a gen. tleman from Mazatlan, who is well and widely known among Americans in Mexico. The scribe was introduced and found the stranger bright, witty and agree able. For any proposition he had keen and humorous retort.
 As in duty bound the Nogales man devoted himself to making pleasant the journey of his com panion, who had never been over the road before, pointing out various places of interest along the route and imparting interest ing information with regard to the railway and the country it trayerses. As the locomotive la- bored up the steep grade south ward from Encinas station, drag ging along the heavy train so slowly that walking seemed speedy, the Nogales man remarked
 Here the passengers frequently get out and push"
 That's my strong suit," replied

 who is quoted all over the
 world, is still of the opinion that the price of copper will
 he steady along the eighteen cent mark the remainder of the year. Just at tine present date he is several cents hIoh, although there is a good chance for him to be right It is seldom that he goes wrong on his predictions and his opinion is recognized by most mining men.
