a Change In forest officials.

Tuesday Mr. Il. 6. Wilson, who
has been supervisor of the Garcias
National Forest embracing what
we're known formerly as the Hua-
chuca and Tumacacori forest) in
Santa Cruz and Cochise counties,
departed from Nogales to 90 to a
more important post in the Ma
tional Forest Service, with head
quarters at Albuquerque. The post
filed heretofore by Mr.. Wilson is
occupied now, temporarily, by Mr..
Robert A. Rogers, forest ranger
from the Huachuca section of the
Garcias forest; but Mr.. Rodgers
hopes to be released soon by a
permanently appointed supervisor
and return to his own locality,
where he is satisfied much better.
This is the second time that Mr..
Rodgers has been in charge OF the
Office at Nogales-in fact it was
during his former administration
that the Office was located in the
line city-and he could have had
the post permanently at the time
Mr.. Wilson was appointed, but
would not accept, for personal
reasons preferring the post OF forest
ranger in the Huachucas, where he
is anxious to return, and will do
so as soon as he is relieved by
appointment of a permanent super
visor.

The Visit of a Pioneer.

Last week there arrived from the
San Francisco mine, just across
the line in Sonora, south from ella
Bend, Mr.. NJ. g. Levy, who has
been visiting the line city since
that time. Mr.. Levy was one of
the pioneer merchants in Nogales,
and the firm of Levy & Raas was
one of the most prominent business
houses along the border. They
built the large stone structure now
occupied by Escalada Brothers,
which was one of the first stone
buildings erected in Nogales. When
THE OASIS located in the line city
fourteen years ago the Levy build
ing, as it was known then, and the
Montezuma hotel Zone half the
size of the present structure) were
the only stone structures in Noga-
les, and there were very few brick
ones. In 1905 Mr.. Levy closed out
his mercantile business to devote
his attention to mining, and has
been engaged since that time in
the operation of gold properties in
the vicinity whence he halls now.
During the years that have passed
Mr.. Levy has visited Nogales sew
eral times generally sojourning a
week or two each visit, which is
his intention at this time. By
reading The OASIS regularly the
gentleman keeps posted on the
affairs and growth of the line
city.
