MONTHLY MEETING OF

There was not a quorum Of the
members Of the Federation Council of
the State Federation of Labor at
Minneapolis last week, and the meet

airy of the council, is in Winnipeg on

CATTLE SHORTAGE.

In conversation with TIE OASIS man, one day this week, a we'll known cattleman and dealer in meat, asserted that within two years Arizona will be importing cattle to butcher for a supply for the home demand. He stated that the ranges are denuded of all but cows and young stock, and that the great mining camps and growing towns are absorbing more beeves each year than there are calves branded; and that as consumption Tn those quarters Is bound to in- crease, the supply of beef steers cannot overtake the demand. Which rightly interpreted. means higher prices for beef in years that are coming. It requires plethor- ic pocket book now to meet regu- larly the meat bills for d small family; wonder what will compass the achievement in "the good time coming?"

the government THE OAsfs is In formed credibly, that very seldom did he report the presence of lend in imported ores. Yet when the work was taken away and sent elsewhere reports of lead com menced to appear. and the govern ment began realizing duties that had been missed before. It is hardly probable that there was go little lead as he is said to have re- ported in all the many shipments that he sampled and assayed, and that immediately upon the assay ing. going elsewhere shipments be- gan of ores carrying lead. With these facts in evidence, the natural question would be: If Uncle sam has gained three thousand dollars. or therea bout, in duties on lead ores imported during the few months since Pellegrin ceased to be government assayer, how much was lost during the several years that Pellegrin held the office?"
 
 So it will be seen from the fore. going statement, which has come from good authority, that the gov ernment was justified in sending it's assaving elsewhere. But, of course, Pellegrin fails to see it in that light, and he is very sore, no doubt. Yet it is by this explana- tion that the public may learn his real animus.

FOR STATEHOOD STRONG.

According to the last number of TIE OASIS, the editor of that paper is the only jointer left i'll the Territory. Bro. Bird should lay down now, and come along in the fight for separate statehood for the Territory,-Tucaon Star.
 The voice of TIE OASIS is still for statehood of any kind (except joined to Nevada), and is willing to work just as hard as any of the Arizona press for separate state hood. But how are Arizonans to get around their own declarations, solemnly made in political con- ventions of both parties, favoring territorial condition indefinitely? In the work for separate statehood TIE OASIS is bound by no such declaration. For statehood itTwas always, and 1t will be for statehood always.

THINKING over this problem of statehood, 1t has struck THE OASIS that the best plan will be to let New Mexico make the fight for statehood in the coming Congress, and Arizona do all that can be done to aid that issue. Then, when New Mexico Is landed in the fold safely, let Arizona gird up her lJins and go after statehood upon her own account, with two senators and couple of congressman from the state of New Mexico to help her. Two statehood bills be- fore the coming Congress might lead to complications that would defeat statehood for either terri tory. Don't forget that the senate committee on territories Is inimical to separate staten0Od Tor the two territories. And with two bills, for admission of both Arizona and New Mexico, there might be move in that committee to amend by joining the two in such way that the question of jointure would be up again. If bill so amended should go up to the President he would have to approve 1t and force again the issue of jointure, or dis approve, and kill all hope of state- hood for either territory.

THE REAL ANiM US.

Recently the nondescript daily alleged newspaper, conducted by a 7feeble-minded assayer, has taken to the publication of some stuff touching matters in the Nogales custom house, and little friction 4herein with regard to the separa- 'tion from the public service of aainor official. The affair is one of those ordinary little difficulties s such as occur frequently in all Hines of business, hardly worthy of any attention whatever, and surely should receive no more attention ahan would be given the discharge @of a railway conductor, which zEculd be passed with simple men, tion and nothing more. But in the columns of the nondescript the mat ter has received considerable ven- 4ilation.
 There is a suspicion that the real anlmus of the attacks upon the ad- ministration of the custom house ss the grievance nursed by Pelle- grin on account of his loss of the United States assayership, fat billet he had held long time, Thch was abolished some six months or more ago, and the work sent elsewhere. It was job which paid him a whole lot of money every month, and he is very sore, no doubt, over its loss. But if he sthinks his diatribes against the ad- ministration of the custom house 1aave any effect, he is in the same Y r as was the cockroach in the -schoolboy's composition.

AN OLD MASTERPIECE.
Picture Thought to Be Raphael's
Painting Found.
lblegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, March ia picture recently
discovered in Belgium is believed to be
Raphaers painting of The Holy Family"
which Is known 10 exist, but the where
abouts of which has been unknown. The
picture in question was brought to London
week ago and submitted to C. j. Holmes
Slade professor OF fine arts at oxford, and
Roger Fry, the artist. Their report affirms
its genuineness.
Evidently 1t belongs to the last years of
Raphael's life. when the painter found that
the calls upon his energies made it impossi-
BILE for him to paint either frsscoes or easel
pictures with his own hand all he could do
being to furnish his pupils and assistants
with designs. sketches and cartoons, leaving
the execution chiefly or entirely to them.
The painting, nevertheless bears the name
of Raphael. and Mr.. Fry suggests that it
was designed by Raphael and carried out
by the Siennese painter. Baldassare Peruz-
I'll, who painted in Rome by the side of
Raphael in Farmesina and elsewhere and
succeeded Raphael as architect of st.
Peters.

MAY USE ELECTRICITY
RAILWAYS CONSIDERING ELIMI-
NATION OF SMOKE PRODUCERS.

Commissioner mcfarland received word
this morning from Samuel Rea third vice
president of the Pennsylvania railroad,
which has led him to believe that the va
rous railroads which will use the new union
station will substitute electric motors for
the smoke-emitting ones upon entering the
District. The Commissioners made this re-
quest of the officials of the railroads in
question several months ago. but the an
swers received were discouraging, and the
Commissioners were led to believe their re-
quest would be ignored
In his letter to Commissioner mcfarland
Vice President Rea stated that pursuant to
the promise made on behalf Of the railroad
companies at the hearings before the Sem
ate committee on the District Of Columbia,
at the last session. when the application of
the District smoke law to locomotive en-
gines was under discussion, they are adopt
ing measures and making experiments SO
as to effectively abate the emission of
smoke by locomotives in the District. He
assured the Commissioners that good re-
suits have so far been accomplished and
that he has every reason to expect that the
final outcome will be satisfactory to the
Commissioners and the citizens Of WASH
ington.
Commissioner Macfarland has replied ex-
pressing qualification that the railroads are
making this effort and hope that 1t may
be successful in eliminating the greater
part of the smoke nuisance due to the To-
comotives. At the same time he has not
changed his opinion that this matter should
not be left to the voluntary action of the
railroads, which. however DESTROYS the
present officers might be to abolish the
smoke nuisance, could be changed with
any change in the officers.
Mr. mcfarland believes that the Com
missioners and the community should ask
Congress at the next session for an ex-
tension of the smoke Law 90 as to cover
locomotives. Mr. Macfarl - has been in
terested in estimates as to the money dam
age to the community in two lines alone
first. the stocks of goods in stores. and.
second, furniture, furnishings and clothing
and is inclined to accept the statement
that the damage done by the smoke to
these things exceeds million dollars an
nually.
If the 200 locomotives doing business in
the District daily are made smokeless. Mr..
Mcfarland said today there will be a
great saving In these matters. to say MOTH
ing of the improvement In general eondi-
lions and the preservation of the public and
private buildings from detriment.
