The camphor experimental farm
year ago. The shrubs have thrived
wonderfully well and they are now
as high as a mans head
The process in operation in For
mosa for extracting the camphor is
to chop the trees down and cut them
into small pieces, from which the
camphor is then distilled. Or Wat
kins will adopt different method
Of operation in Texas. He sows the
camphor seeds like wheat or oats
When it has attained a height Of
about three feet 1t will be cut down
by a moving machine at a height of
about one foot from the ground.
The severed portion will be put
through the distilling process and
the camphor extracted. From the
tender stubble other shoots will
spring mp and the cutting process
can be repeated once a year for sew
eral years. 1t is claimed that more
and a better quality Of camphor can
be obtained by this method than by
the ancient process that is in use in
Formosa. The crop requires no at
tention except the sowing and har-
vesting.
1t is claimed by Dr. Watkins that
! "a large portion of southwest Texas
! is specially adapted to successful
| camphor growing. At present prices
one acre of camphor would yield {
profit of $3.50 It is expected, how.

Simpson has Resigned

Springdale, June 30. Hon. W. B. Simpson, today mailed his resignation as secretary of the Board of Trustees of the Univer- sity of Arkansas to Governor Pindall. In his letter Mr. Simp- son states that before seeking the position he asked a number of attorneys of Little Rock, in cluding Attorney General Kirby, if a member of the legislature could hold tie position, and re- ceived an affirmative reply. He is now advised, however, by able lawyers who worked zealously for his election, that he is ineligi- ble, hence his resignation.
 MT. Simpson was elected sec retary of the Board of Trustees to succeed Hugh Began at the meeting of the board which was held recently at Fayetteville. There was tie vote until Acting Governor Pindall voted for Mr.. Simpson. MT. Reagan, who was defeated, was backed by United State Senator Jeff Davis, who made an urgent appeal to gover- nor Pindall to save him.
 After the election, Mr. Reagan requested from Attorney Gener- al Kirby on opinion as to wheth- CT Mir. Simpson, being a mem Der of the legislature could hold another office. The attorney general said he could not and advised Mir. Reagan not to give up the office.

details are a matter for the future. The people are thankful to get what is given them by that
 Other bills of importance were those removing the penitentiary to Florence, regulating liquor licenses, regulating bankruptcy, giving municipalities more power in regu- lation of public service corpora tions (gas, water, electric lighting, and street railways), to protect investors in Arizona mining com panies, etc.
 All legislation looking to regula- tion of freights and fares and Pull man car rates, was headed off, and some of the educational appropria tions (notably those for the univer- sity and normal schools) were tr immed down unnecessarily. Some of the legislation which failed was good: some of it was bad. None of that which was adopted is vicious.

of professional courtesy" ia vio. lated in tho kind of competition that has been thrust upon him. Professional courtesy" demands that men shall meet upon equal terms, and compete in the same way.
 Now the last sentence in the preceding paragraph describes the situation of the two journals at Douglas. They are both good newspapers that are credit to the town. They both employ the best of editorial, reportorial and typo graphic talent, all we'll paid; and they both stand for prices which will enable each other to employ such help and live. Under such conditions professional courtesy" is natural and easy. But under conditions prevailing elsewhere in Arizona it is impossible.

POLITICIANS assert that President Roosevelt is working to compass nomination and election of Secre- tary Taft to the Presidency, and that in working to name his suc- cessor MT. Roosevelt has violated all precedent. But they have for gotten that President Jackson dic- tated the nomination of Martin Van Buren, his successor; and that Jefferson dictated the nomination not only of his own successor, Madison, but his successors suc- cessor, Monroe.

SUPREME COURT CASES.

Last week the territorial supreme court was in session ,at Phoenix and decisions were given in the cases submitted at January term. Three cases from Santa Cruz county were adjudicated. They were as follows:
 National Metal Company vs. Greene Consolidated Copper Go. Reversed. This is the second time that this case has gone up, the ap- pelant having lost in the lower court both times, and the supreme court reversing the lower court in both instances. The suit is for a large sum of money (about ESQ., 000)involving commissions claimed and retained by the National Metal Company on sales of pro- duct consigned by the other com paDy. In the lower court the Greene Company was the plain tiff, and the defendant company set up that legal notice had not been given.
 c. Ramirez vs. Frank Main. Reversed. This case was a suit to recover the sum of five thousand dollars, Mexican money, lost at a gambling table by an employe of Ramirez, the loser committing sui eide immediately afterward. Ra- mirez sued for recovery of the mon ey, and lost in the lower court.
 R. R. Richardson vs. Frank Powers. Affirmed. This was one of the innumerabIe squabbles of the Patagonia region, that no one but the principals know what it was about, and there is some doubt whether they do. However the judgment of the lower court has stuck.

REFRESHING.

The Daily Dispatch is beginning the work of issuing an industrial number, something on the same line as the an- nual number oi the International American. Such newspaper editions are valuable in advertising the city and the business men of Douglas should ex- tend their support to the Dispatch in this enterprise.-International-Ameri can
 The above is the most refreshing editorial paragraph We have seen in many moons. There is all too little professional courtesy among the news papers of Arizona, and particularly is this true of those of the Salt River valley.-Arizona Gazette.
 The Gazette need not look very far for the real reason for the lack of professional courtesy among the newspapers of Arizona. Too many of them have their existence and are maintained through spite. They were not started to supply a legitimate demand for newspapers in the respective fields they cum- Der, but in a spirit of malice to wreak out vengeance upon an already established paper in limited field. They are not run as legitimate business enterprises, to make money; but all sorts of ex- pedients are employed to hold them up to cause as much loss as possible to another. Many of them show openly and avowedly that to be the very spirit and cause of their existence. They make no effort to produce good newspapers, and no attempt is made to get prices which will make good news papers pay; but the whole scheme of their being Is to demoralize the business by cut throat competition. Under such conditions professional courtesy is impossible.
 The conscientious newspaper man, who puts into his work his best abilities, giving his community d creditable journalistic represen- tative, employing first class help, paying good, living wages, striving to live himself and willing to let others live, when put up against such alleged competition as herein described, naturally feels bitter and anything but courteous. Why should he be? fhe very principle

THE SU M MING UP.

At the time THE OASIS forms closed last week the Twenty fourth legislative assembly of Arizona had completed its labors and had adjourned without day, but the work of the last two days was not known here as yet, so it was im- possible to survey the results of the session and present a summing up. The Phoenix papers arriving Sun day presented the proceedings up to the close of the session, and general resume of the work done. Taken altogether there were about one hundred enactments that reached the statute book. With out doubt the two most important were the bills abolishing gambling and providing for taxing the pro ducts of mines. Another one of much importance was a measure excluding women from saloons throughout the territory. The first and the third of the measures ex- tend over the territory at large reforms which had been accom- plished by municipalities in vari ous parts of the territory, and are but emphasis of the fact that Ari- zona is advancing rapidly from the crudity and easiness of custom of the frontier community. It is the stock assertion of Arizonans that their communities are but little different from the older communi- ties of the East. The two enact ments indicated will go far toward removing such difference as does exist.
 As asserted in these columns at the time of the executive approval of the Doran mine tax bill that is a measure that is q long step in advance. While 1t does not go as far as do similar measures in other mining states, will not yield the public treasury near as much money as would the Colorado law upon which it Is asserted to have been modelled, and prescribes taxa ation for prn.lu.ing mines that le far from equitable when contrasted with the taxation 10 which Is sub ject other property except railways, it applies d correct principle that defines the only jus: way in which producing mines may be made to bear a fair share of the burdens of government. The principle of the Doran bill is all right. Correct
