court of politeness. fashion and
charm. She made for her husband
friends by the hundred and was never
happier than when presiding at the
parlor cabinet. That was her history
for awhile-the mainspring in the
scheme of happiness. Then came the
darker side Of things. wars and
rumors of wars. the bayonets of the
British cleaning in the Washington
sunshine-and American officials in
danger Of sudden death. Just how
the volatile lady bore herself under
these changed conditions is well
shown in a letter she wrote to her
sister at Mount Vernon:
Tuesday. August 23, 1914.
Dear Sister-My husband left me
yesterday morning to Join Gen.
Winder. He inquired anxiously
whether had courage or tirmness
to remain In the presidents house
until his return on the morrow or
succeeding day. and on my assur-
ance that I had no fear but for him,
and the success of our army, he left
me. beseeching ME to take care of
myself, and of the cabinet papers.
public and private. ! have since re-
ceived two dispatches from him, writ
ten with pencil; the last is alarming,
because he desires that i should be
ready at a moments warning to en-
ter my carriage and leave the city;
that the enemy seemed stronger than
had been reported. and that it might
happen they would reach the city,
with intention to destroy it.
Il am accordingly ready; | have
pressed as many cabinet papers into
trunks as to fill one carriage; our
private property must be sacrificed.

Mr.. Madison safe and he can accom-
pany meas l hear of much hostility
towards him. Disaffection stalks
around us. My friends and acquaint-
ances are all gone, even Col c., with
his hundred men. who were stationed

to spike the cannon at the gate and

blow up the British should they enter

point that they have become almost

Of Local Interest.

The following telegram was found in the Santa Fe New Mex ican after TIE OASIS had gone to press last week, but if it appeared in any Arizona newspaper THE OASIS failed to note the fact:
 Washington, Jan. 22.-The Su- preme Court of the United States has decided the cases of Grove versus Trickery and Grove versus Harmon, involving the sale of the Pride of the West Mine in Arizona. Grove brought suit on a verbal contract to recover his commission of $10,000 for selling the mine for $l00,000. At the time of the sale the purchasers failed to take the property, but they subsequently, took it by private agreement with the owners. Today's opinion af- firms the Arizona courts decision against Grove.
 LATER: A Douglas paper found it out.

Yuma Sum The Water Users Association has just completed q schedule of information to be used bv the U. $. Reclamation Service in pamphlet form at the James, town. Virginia, exposition. It is intended that information should he available for homeseekers, who are expected to attend the exposi- tion in large numbers. The pamphlet will be printed by the government as official matter and large number can doubtless be had by the Association here for use in their correspondence.
 Yuma Sun: A. H. Kent has lately received shipment of berry plants from Illinois to set out on his ranch in the Valley. Black berries, raspberries and wild mul- berries will be cultivated as more or less of an experiment, but with fertile soil and irrigation the fruits will undoubtedly flourish. Quince and cherry trees were also in the shipment, and as few of these fruits have been planted in the Valley the growth of the trees will be closely watched by the ranchers. Rhubarb also will be tried. With the cultivation of small fruits, vegetables and cantaloupes the Yuma Valley will be supplying early markets with every available agricultural product in the near future
 Wilcox News: The board of supervisors at their recent meeting passed a resolution to the effect that hereafter the county assessor would be required to secure the sworn statement of the property owner, and acknowledged before the assessor or his deputy who makes the assessment. In the past it has been the habit of q number of tax payers to give in an assessment to the assessor, and when the matter was recorded in the assessment rolls to bring in statement to the board of equaliza- ton to the effect that they did not own the property that had been assessed to them. To do away with this condition of affairs the board has made the new rule, and County Assessor c. R. Howe expects to see that the rule is enforced. To secure this he has already ordered four pocket seals that will be fur nished to the deputies, to be used in having the property owner swear to just what he has got in the way of property that is subject to taxation.
