The Proposed Sm eiter.

Last Saturday evening the Board of Trade held a meeting to hear a statement from Mir. J. V. Smith of El Paso, who, as stated in THE OASIS last week, was visiting No- gales in the interest of company which has been organized for the purpose of erecting and operating at Nogales an extensive reduction plant for treatment of ores from the region now tributary to the line city, and other regions that will be so with extension of the rail- ways building now in Sonora and Sinaloa. MT. Titcomb, president of the Board of Trade presided, and there was a large attendance of members of the main body.
 Mir. Smith outlined the plans of the company and stated that the erection of two 250-ton furnaces was contemplated as a starter, one for lead and the other for copper, to which additional furnaces will be connected, as the business in- creases and the enterprise develops. He had two sites in view, one on the Breen place, opposite the Bayze place, northvard from town, and the other yet farther north. The company asked that the Board of Trade give the enterprise it's moral
The oasis., 1908-02-15

support and encouragement by en- dorsing the project and recommen- ding 1t to investors, and donating site. He desired also that the business men of the town take stock to the amount of $25,000.
 The matter was referred to the finance committee of the board, and on Sunday morning Mir. Smith met with that committee in the parlor of the First National Ba nk. After going over the matter very thoroughly the committee acceded to the request of Mr. Smith to give the moral encouragement and SUD- port asked of the board. Monday morning Mir. Smith departed for El Paso, with the assurance that he will return by the 18th of March, prepared to break ground and begin work in earnest. Mir. Kelsey has an option on the Breen place, and he agrees to deliver title on payment of the prescribed sum, when the plant is built and in op- eration, the board, through the committee, agreeing to raise the purchase price at that time.
 Mir. Smith ayers that his con- pany is really in earnest, and that it intends the erection and opera ton ofan extensive reduction plant that will employ at least 300 men, and make handsome addition to the permanent population of No. gales.

war General Lea calls attention to the fact that Japan has a stand ing army of 23S,000 men under arms, and that within week the island empire can land 100000 trained soldiers at Manila or any chosen strategic point in the Phil llpines, against which overwhelm- ing force the United States can op- pose but 16,000 men who are about one-third of the American standing army. In Hawaii there are now a sufficient number of Japanese sol diers to arise and take those islands in single night. Alaska is almost as near Japan as 1t is to the United States, and Japanese army of oc- cupation could siege the important points on the Alaskan coast for bases of operation against Puget Sound, with the most important strategic point on the Sound in possession of a force of trained soldiers, masquerading now under the guise of tea pickers. Hawaii occupied as base would facilitate operations against the United States via Mexico.
 And the people of the United States are being lulled into foolish sense of mistaken security with the siren song that Japan's only rivalry with the United States is commercial, and that Japan has no intention of waging war. They are destined to rude awakening some morning with the Philippines, Hawaii and Alaska in the hands of a hostile foe; and unless the fleet of Admiral Evans can prevent, the guns of hostile squadrons battering down the cities of the Pacific Coast. with great armies of nvasion pour ing in from Alaska and Mexico.

A Severe Shock.

Monday evening the community was shocked and astonished by the announcement that during the day a checking up of the books of the cashier at the United States custom ! house at Nogales, had developed shortage of s2 300, and that in con- sequence the cashier, Mir. E. l.. Crowell, was then incarcerated.
 But little is known in the matter, except that Sunday evening there arrived from San Francisco Hon. Caleb West, special agent of the treasury department, who institut- ed an examination of the books at the custom house Monday morn ing. In the course of the after noon MT. Crowel admitted the shortage, and in his statements to the special agent and the special deputy collector, in charge, MT. E. l.. Griswold, exonerated all others of complicity. He went before U. 5. Commissioner Williams, admit ted the shortage, and waived ex- animation, being held in bonds of $5,O0O to appear before the U. s. grand jury at Tombstone. Beyond the admitted shortage Mir. Crowell has made no statement whatever.
 Up to the present time Mir. Crowell has been very reticent with regard to what has become of the money, and has no statement to make in the matter. The whole transaction is a mystery to all his friends. The money he has taken was in three different appropri- ations, the first in August last. the second some months later, and the third two weeks ago yesterday. The first lot was $500, and the other two $500 each.
 Tomorrow the accused cashier will be taken to Tombstone, to ap- pear before the United States grand jury, now in recess, which will re- convene Monday.

ASLEEP IN DANGER.

The gross indifference to the signs of the times manifested by the American people (and the public press of America) when discussing the probabilities of war with Japan, recalls the same blind optimis m that prevailed when the war clouds were gathering over our devoted country in 1S60-S1. The people of the North would not believe that the South meant war until Fort Sumter was fired upon; and those who predicted war were derided and laughed at as foolish alarmists. And today every ac- tiyity of Japan in preparing for war is passed unheeded. Every breeze from the Pacific Ocean brings across the land accounts of the activity of Japanese spies in all quarters along the coast, all the way from Puget Sound to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. And all their work goes to show that they are mapping the country, measur- ing distances, testing artillery ranges, acquiring by purchase of real estate valuable strategic points and many other operations all pointing to complete and thorough preparation for a war of invasion upon the Pacific Coast of North America.
 Recently the news came from Puget Sound that Japanese sym dicate had bought parcel of land including about 600 acres, on prominent point projecting into the waters of the Sound, which with Notifications would command the Notifications already erected by the United States for protection of the entrance to that body of water. Six hundred Japanese, all ex-soldiers, are making tea plan- tation there. Yesterday the news papers received from Los Angeles contained accounts of how party of seven Japanese had been ob- served on the ocean shore firing a

and distances of the projectiles sent
 out to sea. One day last week
 there arrived at Nogales, Sonora
 a party of Japanese engineers, with
 a complete surveying outfit, who
 had cone from Puerto Libertad, a
 good harbor on the gulf coast, to
 Nogales, surveying and mapping
 the route the entire distance. The
 latter statement is an absolute fact
 given THE OASIS upon good author
 ity. The writer has seen Japanese
 engineers at Hermosillo, Guaymas,
 and other points in Sonora, all
 busily engaged in making topo-
 graphical reconnoissances, with
 and without instruments. About year ago there was at Nogales a
 paryt of twenty Japanese, who re- 
 mained here several weeks. Some of them sought employment as do- mostic servants, while others made no effort to get employment. Dur ing their stay they scattered about the surrounding region in small parties, and were observed by many different persons as engaged in mapping and plating the coun- try. And then the party disap- peared as suddenly as it came. At one place in tho Puget Sound coun- try there came a story of Swede, a naturalized American citizen, who smashed a camera for a Jap that had been very active in taking views. And for months the news papers from all parts of the Pacific coast have teemed with just such accounts as those related hereinbe- fore.
 In connection with all this there comes pertinent question, and it is: "Who is paying for all the work being done by Japanese, over vast area of country, and all with but one apparent purpose2" The answer IS simple, It is the Japan ese government; and the work is being done. preliminary to a great war intended by that government for the mastery of the Pacific. Such work as is outlined, done up- on a perfect system, and at great is never done for nothing. There is an object at the bottom of 1t all, and that object is successful war.
 Recently the Los Angeles Times very interesting article written by General Homer Lea, m officer in the Chinese reform army, who is an American and has teen service in China, The writer ,alls attention to extensive prepar- ations that Japan is making for var, and he predicts that it will come suddenly, just as came he war between Japan and Russia, when hostilities were pre- ,ipitated by Japan without notice ,r without previous declaration of
