Construction Began.

According to the Douglas Dis patch the Cananea, Rio Yaqm & Pacific railway has begun work southward from Nacozari. on the line 1t will build from Cananea to connect with the road now build ing up the Yaqui river, which is running as far as Buena Vista. The following is from the Dispatch of Wednesday:
 The Southern Pacific railroad people have already began con struction work on their line from Cumpas, Moctezuma and connec tion with their road now building up the Yaqui river.
 The news was brought to Doug las by Arthur w. Jenks, late of the Transvaal Copper company, of Cumpas.
 "The work of construction has, been already commenced in the canyon just south of Naco2ari. ''7 said Mir Jenks to the International, American this morning, land there is no longer any doubt of the fact that the road will be completed up, the Yaqui river by way of Mocte- tezuma and Cumpas as far as Ma cozari. They are as busy as bees all along the line locating the grade and more grading machinery and tools are being shipped to Ma cozari for the worx.

 Mrs. Bourquin.
 The foregoing appeared in the
 Chicago papers Thursday of last
 week. THE OASIS man read it
 there at that time.
 Saturday night of last week. in
 the Union depot at Fl Paso, this editor bought an El Paso news paper, which presented the follow ing very interesting story" to quote newspaper office collo- quialism:
 FL PAso, Jan. 1.-Complications of sensational nature are apt to arise in the settlement of the estate of the late Delevar Beresford, who was killed in a wreck on the Soo railroad at Enderlin, Dakota, last Sunday. Flora Wolf, the negro woman who has lived with Beres- ford on his ranches in Mexico for more than twenty years, and who was commonly known as "Lady Flo," has announced that she will contest the will found in this city a few days ago on the ground that she was the common law wife of the decedent and as such is en- titled to a share of his estate.
 Since the contents of the will, in which she was bequeathed 0,O0O, were disclosed to her, Lady Flo" has been busy with plans. She was very much surprised to hear that she was only left $10,000, and, after thinking the matter over she has decided to make contest of the will and claim under the Mex ican law wife's share. She de- clares that while she and Beres. ford were never married, that he held her out to the world as his wife, and that she was known all through the state of Chihuahua and in this city as Mrs. Beresford. She says that Beresford never re- fused to recognize her as his wife, and told her shortly before he left for Canada that when he returned they would be formally married. In support of her argument that Beresford held her up to the world in which they lived as his wife she recites that they have lived to- gether in the same house for twen- ty-two years, and that he always took her with him whenever he came to this city or made any but a long trip, and that he frequently her to his friends as Mrs. Beresford
 She also states that Beresford | frequently within the past year or so talked of changing his will, which was made in 1896, and leav- ing her practically all of his prop erty, and that she firmly believes that had he lived he would have done this before another year went by.
 She says that she and Beresford met in the City of Chihuahua twenty-two years ago and formed a liking for one another. She was then a nurse in the fam fly of the American consul there and was but 19 years old, Beres- ford, who had just purchased some ranch property in the state of Chihuahua and decided to make his home in Mexico, was p, and ne induced her to give up her pos

PLACEMENTS
 AGAINST FRAUDS
Why Not Level Some Against Frsudu- lent Newspapers, Which Cheat Their Subscribers Regularly.

Lately there has been enacted a most excellent body of legislation calculated and intended to protect the people from all kinds of fraud. ulent preparations manufactured and sold for consumption by the American people. Under the pure food law the government has com pelled manufacturers of all sorts of edibles, drinkables and medicines to label their products and to show upon the labels the various ingredients therein. In this good work the government has been supported and upheld by the entire newspaper press of the United States. Yet very many of the papers supporting and com mending the legislation noted are guilty of the same kind of fraud upon their subscribers and readers as that practiced by the manufac- turers of food, liquors and medi- cines. It is safe to say that there Is Tn all Arizona a few daily news papers that omit the frauds upon their readers that are herein alleged. The fraud consists of brazen and continual palming upon the public as telegraphic news, clippings from eastern news papers that are from a week to ten days old, dealing with subjects that transpired 50 long before that they may not be catalogued truth fully in the category of news" It is true that these daily newspapers take telegraphic reports which they publish as received, But a large part of their news" never comes over the wires.
 Taking as an example one issue simply of one of the largest and most widely circulated daily news papers in Arizona, that of Wednes- day, January 2d, TIE OASIS picked out the four news items presented herewith, all dated January 1st, every one of which the editor read from four days to a week earlier Tn eastern newspapers, and read them in the cities where those newspapers were published.
 The first was this item of news:
 HITS AT ROOSEVELT.
 COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 1.-"Presi- dent Roosevelt Is almost insane on militarism, or at least that is his fad," declared President Dabney of the University of Cincinnati at the Ohio College Association con- vention.
 Discussing the recent recom- mendation of the president of the establishment of target practice for school children, he said:
 While the president is un- doubtedly sincere, he has let his enthusiasm run away with his better judgment. He probably had as much fun out of the Spanish-American war as he would out of bear hunt, and no doubt thinks other people have the same feelings"
 Christmas day THE OASIS editor was in Columbus, Ohio; and on that day he read the foregoing in- formation, word for word, in Columbus newspaper. The Ari-

from the Columbus paper, affixed the date line, and palmed it off upon its patrons as a genuine press telegram While not so injurious as selling bad alcohol for pure whiskey, or glucose for maple syrup, the publication was fully as dishonest.
 Then the next was this:
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Archie Roosevelt got his shotgun, but not until the police of Washington had collided with the President in person.
 The Roosevelt family was at the Pennsylvania station this morning, prepared to leave for a five days stay at Mrs. Roosevelt's Virginia place, Pine Knot" The special train was about to start, when Archie discovered that his new shotgun, which was a Christmas present, had been forgotten.
 The train was held, and tele- phone message sent to the White House that the gun be sent inn mediately by special messenger.
 Jim Jackson, a negro attendant at the White House, took the gun, mounted his wheel, and started to the station at full tilt.
 Bicycle Policeman Shelby saw a negro carrying weapon whiz by at pace far exceeding the speed limit. Shelby set out in pursuit. Shelby has a reputation as a fast rider, but Jackson distanced him. Hopping from his saddle at the depot, Jackson rushed into the train shed and aboard the train. In came the policeman, also, not knowing with whom he had to deal, and demanding the person of the negro He was told that it was for an errand of President Roosevelt that the fast ride had been made.
 Don't give me hot air." said Shelby.
 Then appeared the President on the platform.
 Officer, please excuse my mes senger," said Mir. Roosevelt, tits Archie who really should be ar rested, and you can't have him just now, as l need him in my busi- ness"
 The messenger was excused.
 The day following Christmas THE OASIS man was in Indianap- oils, where he read the foregoing in @ newspaper published in the capita city of Indiana.
 Then there came the following:
 WIFE SUES JUDGE IN HIS COURT.
 BUTTE, Mont, Jan. Mrs. George w. Bourquin, wife of Dis trict Judge Bourquin, one of the best known men in the city, has begun action for separate main tenance, bringing into the case a certain young woman law libra rian.
 Mrs. Bourquin declares that her husband has treated her with such | extreme cruelty, blackening her eyes and fogging her, that six ago she was compelled to leave him. By an odd chance, in accordance with its filing number, the case fell before Judge Bour- luin, but of course will be trans ierred to some other court.
 Judge Bourquin is wealthy, and his wife asks that she be allowed

Kelsey or his assigns are to erect within two years suitable plant for the manufacture and delivery of gas, and he submits guaranty of s2,000 for faithful per formance of the contract with the town. In the franchise the enter prise is bound to pay into the municipal treasury 24%e of its gross receipts; to supply the town without charge 5000 cubic feet of gas per month; to install meters without cost to consumers; and to connect the premises of consumers with the mains without cost to the consumers.
 As his guaranty for faithful per- formance of the contract with the town Mr. Kelsey executed deed to the town for his interest in cer- tain property on Grand avenue, which deed is placed in escrow in the First National Bank; and the mayor was authorized to sign an escrow agreement, accepting such deed as the guaranty in the con- tract, with a further agreement that at any time Mir. Kelsey may substitute the sum of $2,000 U. 5. gold coin as the guaranty, instead of the deed.
 The proposition of MT. Beldan of Los Angeles for gas franchise was laid upon the table until such time as the applicant shall deposit guaranty.
 The council then adjourned.

 monthly session in which there was transacted considerable busi- ness. All the members were pres ent, with Mayor Brickwood in the chair; and the following is a synopsis of what was done:
 A resolution presented by Trustee w. A. O'Connor was adopted accepting the lease rendered the town by the Southern Pacific Com pany of the strip of ground now occupied by the track along the west side of Morley avenue, be- tween the Court House and Park street, and authorizing the mayor to execute the same on behalf of the municipality.
 A petition of Ramon Vasqnez regarding the sidewalk in front of his new building on Morley avenue was presented and referred to the sidewalk committee and the city engineer, with permission to MT. Vasquez to fix the walk in such way as the committee and engineer may agree.
 Two petitions regarding Torres street were referred to the street committee.
 A petition signed by T. F. Brown, k. K. Cumming, Cumming & Me- lntyre, Escalada Brothers, A. Bachilier, R. H. Clarke Sr., J. Gotta, Enrique Narro and others, asking that the town take action to com pei the removal of houses of prosti- tuition from Nelson avenue and East street, was presented and referred to the ordinance committee with instruction to draw and report an ordinance covering the matter. The petition alleges that the open and notorious violation of morality by the inmates of some of the houses complained of is demoraliz- ing to the children of residents of the vicinity, and menace to public peace. It alleges further that some of the places are within the prohibited limit of 400 yards from school house or other public structure.
 The city marshal and city attor- ney were instructed to prosecute offenders violating the ordinance levying license taxes upon real estate dealers and other avocations.
 The mayor and town clerk were instructed to execute to T. J. Wylie a deed to the property north of the railway reservation known as the John Glynn place.
 An application of Charles l.. Fowler for a deed to certain prop erty on the north side of the town site was referred to the mayor.
 There was presented report of the finance committee with regard to an application of c. T. Jones to purchase certain property, which report was adopted and ordered spread upon the minutes. The re- port recommends that the property be advertised for sale at public auction, and so sold, providing that no bid be accepted that is less than $1,000.
 The ordinance committee was instructed to draw and present to the council an amendment to the ordinance regarding licenses, which said amendment is to equalize cer- tain licenses.
