WHAT A CITY CAN DO.
The Reader Magazine.

From The Reader Magazine.
Cleveland, Ohio, mas demonstrated
what a city can do wnen its patriot
ism is not poisoned by franchise int
erests. 1t has dared to aspire to be
beautiful and has shown a willing
ness to pay the price of its ambitions.
But before a city can think of beau
ty its foundations u be laid. They
are as important to a city as the foun-
dations of a building. During these
years of Mayor Tom Johnson's ad-
milistration a splendid sewer system
has been completed.
The water supply, which the city
owns, has completed a tunnel (Which
lay abandoned by the private contract
ors for years. far out into lake Erie.
The city's water supply is now free
from infection. Water meters hav
been universally introduced in order
to check the senseIess waste, which
was compelling constant additions to
pumping engines, as we'll as the wa
ter mains. Water enough for the av-
erage householder is now sold for SIS
a year. Free water is supplied the
schools and for police, health and fire
purposes. Even with these limitations
the plant earns nearly 100000 a year

In selecting h man who caused
the building of the cement sidewalks
to be a member of the waterworkS
commission, the commercial club has
shown appreciation OF practical ex-
%perience in public work. Possibly the
council will choose as the administra-
ton member the man who established
United States. As for the third man,
not to represent either the Club or
the Council, the Record would like
to see appointed a man who knows
how to prepare matter for publica-
ton so that it may not be said, as
it was in the Ellis case, that the peo-
pie were without information.

If a waterworks plant is a good in
~vestHlent for a private company, it
is a better one for a municipal cor
poration. Under public ownership the
city can control every feature of the
delivery of water to citizens, and if
there is any profit in the operation
of the plant the profit will belong to
the people VINO own and control the
whole Shebang.

The business section of Roswell
needs water for fire protection-the
best residence portion Che hills)
must have water to grow grass and
trees. The further growth Of the town
depends largely upon the building of
a waterworks system.
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1907-10-05

Certainly the people of Roswell
will nave to pay whatever it actually
costs to construct a waterworks
plant-but then they will own the
plant and can run it exactly to suit
themselves. When they pay for wa
ter they will know that the money
stays at home, and that if a surplus
accumulates in the treasury the rates
may be cut or the money be applied
in such a way as to reduce taxes for
other purposes. Ever the interest on
the bonds may be kept at home if
local capitalists have faith enough
in their own town to invest in her
securities.

the editor of the Record, at least, did

Wedding Announcement.

THE OASIS is in receipt of cards from MT. and Mrs. Charles Roths- child of San Francisco announcing the engagement of their daughter Miss Ida Rothschild, to Mir. Walter T. Welisch.

Welisch & Company, rice factors. selling direct to the retailers rice from the mills in Louisiana and Texas, in which line the firm has built an extensive and profitable business. The lady he is about to marry has been the book-keeper of his firm, and she is described as a very re- fined and talented woman, twenty three years of age, highly educated and an accomplished pianist. The wedding is fixed for the fourth of August. MT. Welisch has in No- gales and Santa Cruz county many warm friends who will be interested in learning this important infor- nation.

Santa Certrudis Mines.

Today there has been organized at Nogales the Santa Ger trudis Mining Company, which is organized to take over and oper. ate the Santa Gertrudis mine, a property adjacent to Las Animas mine, about eighteen miles north. east from Hermosillo. The com. pany has fine property in region long noted for its mineral riches. There is an eight foot ledge upon which there has been done considerable development work, yielding ores that carry cop per, gold and silver in quantities that will pay to work. The officers of the company are w. c. Ross, president; w. k. Robertson, first vice president and general mana ger; Albert B. Camou, second vice-president; G. F. LeGrand, secretary and treasurer.

q Ysqui Descent.

At the Rich6eld Copper Mining Camp, over beyond the San Miguel river, eastward from Querobabi station. on the line of the Sonora railway, Sunday evening of this week, a band of about forty Yaquis made a descent upon the camp, while all were at supper. Superin- tendent Glasson relates that the first intimation he had of the pres ence of the invaders was to have a gun thrust in his back through an open window. Looking up he discovered that there were one or more guns thrust through every window in the dining room, cover ing every man at the table. While the American officials and em- ployes were being attended to in the dining room the Mexican min CTS and laborers were corraled in their quarters, and the entire camp was perfectly helpless. The Ya- quis informed Mir. Glasson that no harm should fall to him or any of his belongings, nor to any of the Americans in the camp; but they took all the arms and ammunition they could find, and helped them selves to provisions and clothing in the store. The Mexican miners they robbed relentlessly, even talk ing the shirts off from their backs. and cutting open their bundles ruthlessly, to find the contents. All the leather Of the saddles was cut off and taken to make quara- ches. When the Yaquis had done pillaging and packed their plunder for transportation they compelled the Mexican women to prepare supper for them; and MT. Glasson states that in all his experience he never saw tOrtilLos made with such dispatch. The effect has been to scare away from the camp all the help, and closing down has been necessary. Military protection has been asked. and until detach- ment of soldiers is sent to the camp it will be impossible to get any workmen to go there.

 ercises the Nogales band contribu. ted several patriotic airs.
 The exercises over the next num- Der in order on the programme was the rock drilling contest, for a purse of $250, in which there had been made five entries, teams from Duquesne, Santa Cruz, Mansfield, Harshaw and Mowry. For the event there had been provided a great monolith of fiintlike granite. The conditions were that each team should drill fifteen minutes, and the one making the deepest hole in the rock took the money.
 The first team to drill were Chap pell and Allen, from Duquesne. Despite their breaking a drill in the hole and having to drill through the bit of steel they made good showing and their record was twenty-six and three -sixteenths inches.
 The second team to try were Lopez and Laguna, from the Santa Cruz mine. They had the mis- fortune also to break drill, and made score of but twenty-one and three-sixteenths inches.
 The third team were Daley and Shields from the Mansfield camp. They had the misfortune to break drill, a hammer, and a hammer handle, and they were credited with score of twenty-one and thirteen-sixteenths inches.
 The fourth team to essay the task were McCallum and McDon- aid, of Harshaw, who were credited with a score of twentysix and three-eighths inches.
 The fifth team were Miller and Denison of Mowry, and they toox the purse with twenty seven and one half inches.
 There had been prepared at Che grove barbecue consisting of six dressed beeves, which were cooked to turn by MT. O. Phelps, and when the drilling contest was fin- ished the hungry crowd devoted their attention thereto. The beef was pronounced excellent by all partakers.
 In the afternoon the base ball game and the horse races were pulled off down at the town, a diamond having been laid off for the game on the north side of the town, and the races were run over a course on the south side of the town.
 The ball game was between the Diamond N nine of Nogales, and a scratch nine made up at Patagonia. But three innings were played with score of ten to one in favor of Nogales; when the Patagonia contingent threw up the sponge, in the last half of the third inning.
 Then came the races. The first was pony race, in which there were four entries, viz: Merritt of Hua- chuca, Stevens of Nogales, Deegan of Calabasas, and Parker of Mowry The race was over a straight course, 300 yards, for a purse of $50 Merrick won.
 The second race was for purse of S100, and there were six entries, by Billy Parker, Duke Parker, MT. Cox, M. Lopez, and J. Peralta Billy Parker took the money.
 A special race for $50 side was then arranged and run between

enjoyable and successful patriotic functions ever given in Santa Cruz county, and the people of that burg have ample and abundant reason for feeling gratifed at the great success attending their efforts. From Nogales and other points in Santa Cruz county there were sev- eral hundred visitors, and when the days festivities terminated they departed for their respective homes with words of praise for the good people ofPatagonia upon their lips, and with of: repeated assurances that they "had the time of their lives" Patriotism was to the fore, joy was unconfned, and the man or woman who could have failed in having a good time would have been surely minus some of the most important qualities of the human mind.
 The train from Nogales had att tached two extra coaches to accom-. modate the crowd going from this place, and they were set out at Pa tagonia. At midnight a locomotive and baggage car came from Noga- les, and returned the coaches to Nogales in a special train, for ac- commodation of those who desired remaining until after the ball. Quite number of Nogales people went over in carriages, and 1t is estimated that there were fully two hundred representatives of the line city present and participating in the festivities. A representative of THE OASIS took down the names of those he knows by name, and when completed the list embraced eighty seven persons. There where many more whose names he knows not, beside the members of the Nogales Concert Band, who discoursed the music for the exercises at the grove, and for the ball in the dancing pavilion at the same place at evening.
 When the train arrived at Pata- gonia the visitors were received by reception committees consisting of a dozen ladies and as many gentle men, who devoted themselves to making comfortable their guests and to seeing them conveyed to the picnic ground, to do which there had been provided many convey ances. The ground is about one mile from the town, up a canyon in the foothills of the Patagonia mountains that debouches into the Sonoita valley right at Patagonia. There is grove of spreading oaks where had been arranged a pavil- ion with a rostrum for the speak CTS and reader, which pavilion was used also at evening by the dancers.
 The exercises were begun at ten o'clock, Mr. Clay c. Cooper presid- ing, and opening the proceedings with an opposite and appropriate address, after which he introduced the reader of the Declaration of Independence, MT. Harry c. Chap man of Nogales, who read that inn mortal and priceless instrument in a very eloquent and effective man ner. The oration was then pro- nounced by Hon. Bo. J.

tective George Sheets is considered one
the most efficient in the west
Much speculation is being INDUCED in
as to who will be appointed to succeed
Sheets. Captain Burbidge, who is act
ing chief of police as in many a police
ton because of the fact that he is not
a member of the American party. 1t
seems possible, however that no appoint
ment will be made for the present at
least, and Captain Burbidge may contin-
ue to act as chief of police until his policy
conflicts with that of the American
administration.
OF the others eligible in the police de-
partment are Sergeants Ed Janey and
John Hempel and Detective Dick Shan
non. Sergeant Janney will probably not
be considered because of his close friend
ship with Sheets and Sergeant Hempel
and Detective Shannon have been men
toned in the McWhirter scandal, which
VIII probably eliminate them.
Councilman Black was talked of last
night by some Americans as a possible
successor TO Sheets. but those in a DO
sitiOn to know laughed at the suggestion
If any one is appointed outside of the
police department it will probably be Tom
Pitt, the American party candidate for
sheriff last fall.
A preliminary hearing of George Sheets
on the bribery charge against him will
probably be had next week. Sheets ex-
poets to repudiate the confessions of Bell
and Parent and Donaldson by an alibi
At the time that these men state that the
conspiracy was formed Sheets SAYS he
can show that he was out of town on his
vacation. The evidence against Sheets IS
chiefly that of alleged accomplices and his
contend that unless this evil
dence is cOrrObOrated in every particular
IT cannot be used against the chief.
