Z REnIiKE ron WOMEN

Josephine Daskam Bacon's first ar
ticle on THE Servant Problem APP
pears in the American Magazine. The
author sharply rebukes women for
their alleged failure to cooperate.
She calls the chief business of wonl-
en- the worst managed business in
the country Here is the charge:
"Until women are willing to CO.
operate in aiding each other TO find
good house workers and the house
worker to find good situations, and
realize that their present selfish push
ing and bribing and concealing and
deceiving are bad business as well as
bad morals, they must expect to suf-

shameful failure in the business in

MAKING A CITY,s STREETS SAFE,

Mk1tNINN n SAlI . OlItIIElO oar HI
The railroads of the country are
spending one hundred million dol
lars to make the streets of Chicago
safe, says Rutledge Rutherford in
Technical World Magazine for Janu-
AIRY. On an average, five hundred
people a year are run ver by pass
ing trains, or are injured in COLI
sions with steam locomotives while
using Chicago's streets. Ten years
ago Chicago decided that the eleva-
ton of all steam railway tracks was
the only means of protecting her citi-
zens from the deadly grade crossings.
And the railroads are footing the bill.
Last year over $4,000 men were en-
ployed in the work of elevating the
tracks, and it cost the railroads S5,-
SOC, 900.
Chicago is not the only city which
is having her steam railway tracks ell
svated. But Chicago is the only city
which is marking the railroads pay
for the job. Chicago has already ac-
complished the elevation of 500 miles
Of steam railway tracks within her
borders and has made the railroads
pay every cent of the 100000
which 1t has cost.
The work Is only half completed;
but the railroads which at first OPP
posed track elevation are now con
WINGED of its advantages, and they are
beginning to regard it as we'll worth
the millions of dollars it is costing.
Some roads are far sighted enough to
go greatly beyond the city's require
ments, and are building most efficient
road beds to add to their terminal
and switching facilities.

On March 3, 1905, congress passed
an act, which declared in part:
Whereas, it is desirable to comment
crate in a fitting and appropriate
manner the birth of the American ma
ton, the first permanent settlement
of English speaking people on the
American continent made at James
town, Va, on the 18th day of May,
1907, in order that the great events
of American history which have re-
suited therefrom may be accentuated
to the present and future generations
of American citizens: and whereas

but also the scene of the capitulatlon
of Lord CORVALLIS at yorktown, and

acted that there shall be inaugurated
in the year 1907, on and neal the
waters of Hampton Roads, in the
state Of Virginia, as herein provided,
an international naval and military
celebration, beginning May ID, and
ending not later than November l,
1907
The act appropriated $250,000 for
the of the celebration, which
includes $4,000 for a permanent
monument upon the place of the first
nermanent English settlement at
jamestown, and authorized the presi-
dent ito issue a proclamation OF the
elaboration, setting forth the event
to be concentrated, inviting foreign
nations to participate by sending
their naval vessels and such repre-
sentations of their military organiza-
lions as may be practicable and to
have such portions of our army and
navy assembled there during the said
celebration as may be compatible
with the public service" The militia
of the several states wei also invited

tainly to a large number. Take one
practical instance of what 1 mean.
Any woman who has answered the
advertisement of another woman
who wishes to place a good servant
and met that woma in her home, has
either had the advantake of a valu-
able conference with her and found a
good servant or failed to cumber her.
self with an unsuitable one; or she
has confronted from two to six wo-
men on the same errand, all glaring
at each other, all competing for a
presumptively able worker. There is
no better way to get a good servant,
in my opinion; it speaks well for
maid and mistress. But means that
the mistress gives up a portion of her
time, her houseroom and her infor-
nation to an employee of no further
use to her and a prospective employ
er whom she does not know. How
many women do it?
But this means work.
"Of course it does. 1t means COM
mittees of inquiries and estimates
and adjustments, all the energy, in
fact goes into women's clubs, to take
advertisements from billboards and
chloroform INDECENT animals and run
church fairs and elevate the slums

in short, but the systematization OF
the chief business of women, which
is the worst managed business in the

Thursday evening Unity Chap ter No. 13, Order of the Eastern Star, entertained their friends at the lodge room in the Masonic Temple. Management of the evenings function was in the hands of competent committees, all mem bers of which demonstrated that most happy selections had been made; for everyone present de- clared it one of the most pleasant and enjoyable social gatherings ever known in the line city, which is noted far and wide for it's suc- ces in such matters. The ever popular game of Five Hundled was the 'piece de resistance" of the evening, and some of the play CTS made goodly scores. The prizes went to Miss Kelsey and Mrs. Bird, and Messrs. W. R. Sprecher and J. c. Glissan. After the play was finished delicious re- treatments were served; and when the pleasant party dispersed it was past the midnight hour.
 Those present were Colonel and Mrs. NJ. H. McCord, Doctor and Mrs. A. l.. Gustetter, Captain and Mrs. c. E. Perkins, Judge and Mrs. w. A. O'Connor, MT. and Mrs. E. Titcomb, Mir. and Mrs. 1.

Sunday the gentleman left Chi huahua, and arrived at Nogales Tuesday evening.
 Wednesday morning MT. Crow. ther arranged with the Sonora News Company to establish his bench at their store, and he went to work immediately. He has come to No gales with a view of seeking a per manent location, and will bring his family here very shortly.
 Mir. Crowther Is from New Lon- don, Connecticut, where he was in business during period of four teen years. The failing health of his daughter caused him to aban- don his New England home and seek location in the milder clim- ate and dryer air of the West. He comes highly recommended as an artisan and a man; and his advent at line city signalizes a valuable addition to the business circles thereof. THE OASIS bespeaks for the gentleman a liberal patronage from its many readers and friends in Nogales, in Santa Cruz county, and in Sonora.

so0ao stast


 Trade Tuesday evening, as set forth in the proceedings published on another page, expressed sound sense and are we'll worthy of com- mendation. His words were ad- dressed to the ease with which the business public of Nogales are worked by special editions of out side newspapers and other fake ad- vertising schemes, that are of no earthly value, and is money sunk. The gentleman alluded particular lv to the recent midwinter edition of the Los Angeles Times, which worked some of the business men of Nogales to the tune of $500, giv- ing in the aggregate less than a half page of description, which was sandwiched in among scores of pages of the same kind of descrip- tion of all the other towns and coun- ties of Southern California and Arizona. And since that time representative of another outside paper has visited the town and car ried off lot more of good money for which the return will be nil.
 Mir. Curtis takes the rightful view that money put out in that way Is wasted utterly. Whoever reads one of those mammoth editions of a metropolitan newspaper? And when a person reads one, out of the wealth of description what chance is there of any particular place striking the attention of the reader2 The entire scheme Is a great fake, and the men who work it know it.
 Mir. Curtis put the case very clearly, and he uttered plain truth when he said that the same money put into a modest special edition of one of the home papers would be of far greater value. In the first place such an edition would not be a great, bulky affair and it would be read. Secondly, ii would be devoted to Nogales only and the attention of the reader would not be diverted from the subject by the accounts and de scriptions of other places.
 But when all is said and done the value of the special edition o any newspaper is very slight. Up on its face it Is for a special pur pose, and the desired effect Is null lifted. A much more rational plar would be to circulate the regulal edition of the home newspapers They will be read and content noted, because the reader know the stuff" is for home consumption and reliable. A good plan woulC be to send regular subscription 0 the home papers to mining ex changes, chambers of commerce boards of trade, and public libra ries. There they would be put O file in public reading rooms wher they Would he read reoularlv h
