LOOKS DIFFERENT SOMETIMES.

Upon the first page of TIE OASIS this week there is presented bit of word painting that 1t bas been the intention long of this journal to present to its readers, as one of the master pieces of the orators subtle art-Senator Vests tribute 10 mans most constant companion. It is wonderful bit of imagery, surely.
 But when one gets up at five o'clock in the morning to irrigate his garden and finds that through the night the playful dogs of the neighbors have played havoc in the front yard, crushing down rare and beautiful plants that have been tended with the utmost care, digging up by the roots delcate and costly rose bushes, the beauti ful blooms of which would give ex- quisite pleasure to more -en,ts than one, he is inclined to feel that perhaps Senator Vest carried most too far his touching panegyric upon that most noble animal.

VERY NEARLY CORRECT.

Col. Allen T. Bird of the Nogales OASIS has gone to Ilermosillo to partici pate in the reception of Vice-President Ramon Corral, which is probably the most important function Tn the entire Mexican republic this week. There may be an apprehension that the mission of Col. Bird is political, having something to do with the jointure of Arizona and Sonora, since Col. Bird is supposed 10 have jonture on the brain, but if so, the apprehension is unfounded. We are sure that the visit of Col. Bird is an informal, friendly and dsinter- ested one. We know of our own knowl- edge of the intimate personal relations which for years have existed between Col. Bird and the now second man i'll Mexico. It was our good fortune once to accompany Col. Bird to the palace of the vice president when he was the governor of Sonora and to witness the feicitous exchanges between these representatives of the Latin and Anglo Saxon races on the western continent. However dear to the heart ol Col. Bird iointure in any form may be, we are certain that Col. Bird would not obtrude the subject upon Seiior Corral at this time or try in any way tO mlngle busi- ness with pleasure.-Arizona Republi- can.
 The Republican is very nearly correct in some of its assumptions. Colonel Bird would entertain no serious objections to the union of Sonora and Arizona in one state in the American Union. But he would not obtrude the issue upon such an occasion as that. And would the two not make great state?
 There are many things they do in Sonora that Arizona might eraulate. The territory has just adopted q bullion tax, while Sonora has had one many years. And that of Sonora is far better for the state than is the new one that Arizona has just succeeded in en- acting. In number of other matters TIE OASIS could point where Arizona follows in the wake of Sonora. In that state (and all over Mexico) railways are held tc
 
 an accountability unknown in Arizona, or anywhere in the United States. They cannot even make a change in time card without official approval of the new schedule; and freights and fares are regulated in a manner that would seem scandalous in the United States.
 Yet in Mexico American capital is building thousands of miles ol railway subject to an official espionage and regulation against which they would rebel were they in the United States.

FLEET
READY To SAIL
FOR PACIFIC

Old Point Comfort, Va. Dec. 1S.-Final
word Of ready was flashed from every
vessel In the battleship fleet yesterday.
In its last analysis this signal meant
that the 16 most powerful craft In the
American navy are prepared not only to
start next Monday morning on their pro-
jected cruise to the Western ocean, but
are equally prepared to so anywhere In
the twin hemispheres, to do any work.
1t meant that hulls are sweet and clean;
that giant compound engines are all 1T
for their task: that officers and men are
trained to the hour; that bunkers are
overfiowing with the best steam coal in
the country: that storerooms are choked
with provisions and that magazine doors
are closed upon the greater stores Of am
munition ever placed on board American
vessels Of war.
The care with which the 16 ships have
been groomed for their voyage and the
completeness with which they have been
provided with all the necessities of bat
tleship for peace or for war leave no
doubt OF the mobility Of the great armed
force.
Even the officers themselves are a little
surprised at the amount OF work that has
been accomplished and the quiet conf
dence that has marked every step OF prep
aration.
IL the ships were destined for immediate
conflict, little more could be done.

DUFFY BUYS ABSIE|N
FROM P|IISBlRG

Manager Duffy Of the Providence base
ball club In company with Mike Reagan
was In town last evening and announced
that he had purchased outright from the
Pittsburg club of the National league his
former first baseman and captain, big
Bill Abstein. ''Bill" was drafted from
the Providence aggregation at the finish
OF the season OF 1907. and the fans OF this
city thought that they had seen the last
fthe big fellow. The news. therefore.
that he WIN return is very wslcome to
followers of the Providence baseball
team, for he played good ball for the
Grays all season and general regret was
expressed when II was learned that
providence was TO lose him.
Mr.. Duffy also stated that Burke. whom
he drafted from the Holyoke aggrcga-
ton, has been sold TO the Hartford club.
He gave as a reason for this that in his
opinion Burke was not fast enough for
Eastern league company.
Duffy returned from the big meeting
OF baseball magnates IN New York last
evening. He said that while there he
was given splendid offer for his hold
iDgs I'm the Providence club from George
Stallings but refused having great faith
In Providence. and thinks that he viii
make a big thing OF baseball here meet
year. Duffy did not state what the off er
was. but said that II was swell oppor-
tunity to dispose OF his stock in the club.
Duffy has taken up his residence in this
city for short time
