NogaIes Fire Department.

In Armory Hall, Masonic temple, on Terrace avenue, Thurs day evening the Nogales Fire De- partment held business meeting and smoker which was attended by some twenty-five members of the department, and there was trans acted a deal of important business. Chief Bracey Curtis presided, and Secretary c. M. Rathbun kept the record.
 There was presented communi- cation from MT. A. Claussen, pres dente of the municipality of Mo- gales, Sonora, stating that the sum of $234, Mexican money, had been appropriated to reimburse the fire department for hose destroyed at the fire in the Mascarehas building, on Calle Elias, some months ago, and that beginning with the pres ent month the municipal govern ment on that side of the line will donate toward support of the fire department the monthly sum of $60, Mexican (which is the equiva- lent of a like donation that is made by the town government of Nogales, Arizona); and that whenever the department is called across the line by conhagration it will be ac- corded by the police authorities there full protection and assistance.
 Resolutions were adopted accept ing the donations and assuring the people of the sister municipality that the best possible service will be given by the fire department whenever called to the Mexican side of the line, and copy of the resolutions was ordered transmitted to Mir. Claussen.
 Among other important business considered was the purchase of a new and improved hook and ladder truck, the one in use the past twelve or fourteen years being out date, cumbersome and inconveni- ent. The proposition was adopted and the executive committee in- structed to take in hand the work of providing ways and means for securing the apparatus.
 It was decided also that the de- partment shall observe labor day with 8 picnic, which festive occa- sion shall be utilized toward rais- ing funds to apply upon the pur- chase of the proposed hook and ladder truck.

building, owned by L. Ephraim; the building occupied by Lulley's buffet and the Boston clothing store, owned by MT. Dan Hagan of Los Angeles; the two-story brick building occupied by Rogers candy factory and restaurant, owned by Ramon Vasquez; and the building occupied by George Januel's barber shop, owned by Mrs. Nolan. Each of the eight owners of the properties pay the railroad company a ground rent of one dollar per month, making an annual rental of ninety-six dollars. The railroad company leased the property to the town for a period of fifty years, at an annual rental of one dollar, and the fifty dollars was paid at the time the lease was executed, which was the first of July, 1908. Why the town can not lease directly to the property holders who occupy part of the premises does not appear.
 In conversation with THE OASIS editor, in the presence of Messrs. Ephraim and Vasquez, Doctor Chenoweth disclaimed any inten- tion of pro6ting by the lease, should the ground be sublet to him by the town government. He will release to the occupants at an equitable and pro rata rate. The | gentleman stated that his main object was to force action by which the property owners will carry out the object for which was given the lease by the railway company to the town.
 Messrs. Ephraim and Vasquez expressed themselves as willing to move back their buildings. Mir. Ephraim stated that when the lease he had given to the Palace saloon expired, which will be in two years, he will erect fine stone building on the premises, and he would prefer to await that time be- fore moving back. MT. Vasquez expressed himself as willing to move back his building, but he holds that property owners on the opposite side of Morley avenue will be benefited by widening that street, and that they should bear a part of the cost. The town has no power or authority to assess the cost in that way, but it is thought property owners could be induced to assess themselves voluntarily.
 This is an important matter, and there are many interests involved There is a question whether the railway will stand to have the ground sublet by the town except to the actual occupants, and ther only on condition that they move back their buildings to widen Nor. ley avenue. Upon the other hand it is claimed that the lease from the railroad is absolute, and there are no conditions therein. Maybe the railway company would holt  otherwise and precipitate a lawsuit to cancel the lease if the town at tempted any thing else. Why would it not be a good idea to cal public meeting to discuss thi question in all of its bearings, anC reach some definite conclusion which might be taken by the towr board as light to guide it course?

RAILROAD LEASE.

A propos on Before the Nogaies Town Board to Sub-Let the Strip Leased by the Southern Pacific, ln- cIuding the Alley Running South ward From Park Street.
The oasis., 1909-08-07

Monday evening, at the regular meeting of the Nogales Town Board there was presented a proposition from Doctor w. F. Chenoweth to lease to him all that parcel of land that was leased to the town year ago by the Southern Pacific to en- able the town to widen Morley avenue, by setting back the build ings adjacent to the alley so they will cover the space of the alley where the railway maintained a sidetrack from the beginning of the town until within the past two years.
 The intention and object of Doc tor Chenoweth in applying for a lease of the ground, and the in- tention of the council in the mat ter have been subjected to more or less comment; and there are rife many stories and many theories. Herewith THE OASIS presents the written proposition of Doctor Chenoweth, as submitted to the town board:
 To THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND TowN COUNCIL.
 GENTLEMEN -
 Some time ago made application for lease of that certain piece of ground now vacant, and being contiguous to and extending along my present hold ings 40 feet in depth and IA feet in width, on the strip south from Park street obtained by the city from the railroad company.
 Not having had any definite action thereon and learning that the commit tee have the matter of this strip under consideration and that they will make their report tonight beg to again ask tor favorable action on my petition, and request lease similar to the form at tached hereto.
 Yours respectfully,
 w. F. CHENowETH. MORALES, August ?, 1909.
 Should your honorable body decide to lease the railroad strip extending from Park to International, and deem it best to lease the entire strip from street tC street and Fl feet wide, to one party, l would most respectfully present this my Peutlon requesting lease, on same on q oasis similar to the form of lease at tached hereto, it being understood that l am to again release to present occu pants on this strip at an equitable and reasonable basis.
 Yours respectfully, w. F. CHENowETH MORALES, August ?, 1909.
 It will be recalled readily thai all the buildings on Morley avenue along the west side of that thor. Oughtare stand partly upon the strip mentioned. There are eight occupants, viz.: Juan Bojorquez who owns the Monte Carlo build. Ing, upon International street which includes the International saloon of J. D.

ALAMOs NOTES.

MT. Carlos Schmidt, the super intendent of the Jacalitos Mining Company, came to town from Jobia on business of his company.
 MT. Harry Mclean, the always jovial manager of the Mary Mining Company, near Campo, Chihua- hua, came to town and left Sunday for Pennsylvania on business.
 MT. s. Calvin Hess from Phila- delphia who is making up an ex- hibition car with samples of ores from Sonora and Sinaloa, left last Saturday for Culiacan and Mazat- Ian.
 MT. Wm. Cranz from the Zam- bona mine at Minas Nuevas came to town Monday and reported that Mir. Jaeger who had the misfortune to fall in a Pachuca tank was about again.
 MT. H. Cook, banker and min ing promoter from Goldfelds, Nevada, arrived in town and has joined Mr. Jack Davis, who has bonded several promising mining properties in Jobia and other parts around Alamos.
 MT. John Thompson, the only seven feet long prospector, who in- tends to put up an electric plant along the Rio Mayo near San Bernardo and to supply the town of Alamos and Chinipas with electric light, left last Saturday for Los Angeles and San Francisco.
 It is inconvenient that the Can anea, Rio Yaqui & Pacific railroad does not take sufficient interest to build depot at Alamos or at least to erect some kind of a shelter for its patrons instead of compelling them to stand in the rain and mud to wait for the arrival or departure of the train.
 The Alamos engineering office has on its Guasiasco ranch a big fall of hot water about forty feet high and fifteen feet wide to create with considerable small expenses any electric power desired and to furnish besides all the hot air for all those "paper" and "plaza" miners all over the country.
 In its last issue THE OASIS made the little mistake, to state that the Alamos engineering office had bought the Guasiasco ranch con- sisting of 1900 acres of timber land. It is quite right that the Alamos engineering office bought the ranch, 1 but the ranch consists of four SitioS or about twenty-eight square miles with an area of about 1S,000 acres of fine timber land but no 1900.
 Mir. A. J. Garrett with his son L. E. Garrett arrived Friday from San Angelo, Texas, and were joined here by MT. T. D. Newill from Sonora, Texas, and the Reverend Priest Juan Jose Hoben from Toyah Reaves county Texas. They left today Tuesday under guidance oi the Reverend Hoben for Chini- pas, Chihuahua, from where they expect to go prospecting near Geraltirano and Santa Barbara. MT.

ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN

For many years eczema was sup
