s'The Oasis" Correspondent Describes Interesting Trips in the Santa Rita and Patagonia Mountains and Beautiful Views from lofty Peaks.

of summer boarders" have come to Patagonia during the past few weeks and judging from their re- marks are agreeably surprised at the discovery" they have made. Travelling men, too, make 1t a point to "lay over" here for a day or two when they want to rest up and cool off.
 Patagonia has never posed as a resort town, its residents being too busy prospecting the Santa Rita and Patagonia mountains for mines, rather than picnic grounds. But, on the banks of the beautiful Sonoita, walled in on either side by lofty mountains, Patagonia is, in reality, one of the most ideal summer resorts in the southwest. At an elevation of something more than 4, 900 feet, the heat is never oppressive, and there is not day when there is not a breeze through the little valley. The hotel ac- commodations are high class and there is always an abundance of horses for those who care to ride or drive. And nowhere are there more pleasant drives or more inter- esting mountain trails for horse back riding.
 A drive up or down the Sonoita takes one through groves of great cottonwoods and willows, past fields of green and golden grain, gardens of vegetables and orchards of fruit trees. And these drives stretch for miles up and down the Sonoita.
 To the west there are we'll graded wagon roads, leading to a dozen and one beautiful canyons in the Santa Rita mountains, where the crystal waters of clear, cool streams splash and tumble over the clean rocks of the canyon bottoms; and where mesquites, oaks, pines, juni pers and manzanitas decorate the canyon walls and mountain sides. Scores of well kept trails wind in and out of canyons and gulches, along the hillsides and up to the tops of mountains great and small; up Wrightson Mountain; Josephine Peak, Sentinel Peak and Santa Rita Mountain (Old Baldy), the monarch mountain of the Santa Rita range, from the peak of which one may look dcwn on Patagonia, Crittenden, Benson, Tubac, Tuna cacori, Tucson, Calabasas, Nogales and dozen or more small mining camps and other places in Arizona; and far into old Mexico, over its ranches, it's settlements; and some seventy-fve to one hundred and fifty miles to the south can be seen the Magdalena range and other mountains in Sonora. At such height, looking off into the distance at mountains beyond the broad green valleys, man realizes his littleness and in a vague, dazed manner, begins to imagine some thing of the greatness of the Creators work. He experiences a longing to fly over the valleys to the mountain peaks beyond; and the thought only exasperates him and makes him realize the awful slowness of his movements. Even the sturdy horse that has carried him up the steep trail to the noun tain ton. seems to he likewise

In the Country.

In every country n~eighborhood is
material for many novels. Here we
can study the elementals. We get to
the bedrock of human nature. Each
strong character stands out clear and
distinct. 1t is a simple life, but not
without an appeal and q charm that
are all it's own. Here is a purely
American people for the most part, the
only place it is to be found in the ma
ton. The cities and the newer COM
munities Of the west are mixed with
"a large foreign element. But in the
eastern, southern and certain portions
Of the central states are to be found
a people whose. ancestors have. lived
upon the soil for generations, most Of
them descended from Revolutionary
stock. These are Americans. Where
is the American novelist to catch their
spirit and portray their life?
To one who was reared in the hill
country there is a certain beauty in it's
rocky slopes and pleasant valleys that
cannot be found elsewhere. The prai-
rie is monotonous, the treeless plain
wearisome. The green and sunny
sides Of the hills have a charm that
never grows old.
And the trees-the strong, spread
ing oaks; the tall. 1.-THE and clean
bodied poplars; the white limbed syca-
mores, the great locusts. the beeches,
the ashes and the elms-there is a
glory in the trees. a strength and a
companionship. In the stately aisles
of the forest one is in communion with
nature and with his own soul. There
is a holy awe that pervades it all.
Bryant caught the spirit Of the trees
when he said, 'The groves were Gods
first temples"
In our hours of sorrow, If we can
but go to Nature, she gives us peace.
With her calm presence over us, her
cooling fingers upon u brows, she
charms away our troubles. dulls the
edge of our griefs and in her silent
way imparts to us a comfort and a
hope.

"Past, Present and Future"

Get out of the musty, dusty past.
out Of the fog Of old customs and old
beliefs. Climb up on to the hilltops,
into the free air and sunlight.
This is the cry Of today. This is the
cry Of youth in all ages.
But let us not be too hard on the
past. There were sweetness and nobil-
ity in the yesterdays Of our fathers.
They followed their light as we follow
ours. There wars for liberty and
martyrdoms in the old days, and the
Christ lived in the past.
No wholesale denunciations Of the
generations that were. That only
shows a narrow and unappreciative
spirit. They buflded the mountain on
which we stand. The coral reef that
rises through fathoms Of water to the
air and sunlight is made Of the insect
bodies OF those that gave their lives in
its building. It is exactly sc that hui
mainly builds the heights Of civiliza-
ton.
The past is included in the present.
She gave herself utterly as a sacrifice
to US. She is the food on which we
live. We devour her as ruthlessly as
Chronos devours his children. To add,
insult to injury. we then abuse her.
The Past was our mother, and to
her we owe our filial love and venera-
ton. but not U obedience. for she is
dead, and the dead have no right to
rule the living. /
And the Future-what Of her? We
must give ourselves a sacrifice to her
as our fathers gave themselves to us.

Let US cut loose and go

centuries. Let US cut loose and go

Years ago in a western exposition
saw a painting that has fingered in
my memory till now. Both the picture
and artist were unknown to fame, l
think. The work vas only fairly we'll
done, as l remember 1t. The thing
that caught and held the attention was
the idea.
The title Of the painting "a Past,
Present and Future" There was a
stairway mounting up into the infinite
distance, some such stair as the sleep
Ing Jacob beheld mounting to God. A
fool Of light poured down through the
fleecy vapors that here and there hung
about 1t.
AT the foot of the stairway was an
old bag. Darkness was around her.
She stood upon dead mems bones. By
her side were the fagot and the rack.
This was the Past.
On the first steps of the stair was a
middle aged woman. Her face had a
look of indecision. Her eyes were
turned halfway between the darkness
behind and the glory before. She
seemed to hesitate, desiring to go for
ward. but powerless, for the hag's
clawlike fingers were holding her. This
was the Present.
A step higher was a young girl. Her
look was forward and upward. There
was d glow Of angelic hope, Of infinite
trust and ambition on her face that
was radiant with the light from ahead.
Her arm was around the woman,
whom she was trying to lift up. And
this was the Future.

Upon an eve Of the sweet June-time,
When the moon is on the eastern tree.
When the robins sorg and the far bells
chime
And the pipe of the frogs float drowsily.
A tide-like gladness comes to me.
Drifting in to the shores of my Utmost
life
Till l almost forget the things that be-
The sorrow. the madness, the misery,
The selfish greed and the sickening strife
Till l almost forget the world of man,
And my soul floats out in the larger plan,
Floats with the song and flows with the
light
Into the soul Of the %boundless night.
It is now a new world comes to me
While the moonlight and song enter into
my blood.
For my soul goes out on a boundless sea
OF pillows of light in a moonbeam flood.
And strange forebodings and glimpses
strange
OF a life and death tha rave been be-
fore,
OF q present dream and a later change,
A sleeping and waking and greener shore,
Drift in to me. while the things that seem
Are fading away in a mist OF dream.
And my soul floats out to the shores Of
thought
In search of an Eden 1t cannot find
