AFTER SIXTEEN YEARS.

Upon the ninth day of May, A. D. 1893. the first issue of THE OASIS was turned off from the press; and now, upon this eighth day of May, 1909, the present issue terminates the sixteenth year of the existence of this newspaper, while the sue. ceeding issue will begin the Thir- teenth of its Second Series of volumes.
 During all the sixteen years closing with this day and this number of THE OASIS it has con- tinued under the same manage ment and the same editorship. The entire 834 numbers that have been printed have been framed and planned by the same mind, and more than ninety per cent of the original articles appearing therein have been the product of the same pen. That ofitself is record among Arizona newspapers, and in all the Territory there are but two or three which can show so long a period of publication under the same admin. istratien.
 During the sixteen years, the flight of which is noted now, tLere have been many to whom the paper has been a regular weekly visitor, to whom 1t goes as regularly as it is printed; and from time to time there come from those oldest sub scribers we'll appreciated assur- ances that perusal of it's columns is attendant always with real pleasure. Those readers and the editor are all much older and richer in experience than in those days when the paper was new, yet when the editor meets one of them he cannot help noting that they have discovered the art of growing old gracefully. However that seems to be one of the features of this great and wonderful region in which we are located. There is something in the climate, in the surrounding atmosphere-not only in that ether which evelopes us but in that subtler and finer atmos. phere of the circumstance of oul favored land-whch seem to have reiuvenating effect, keeping youth ful ever the mind and heart, and always making fife seem more worth the living. In tie immens, possibilities of this vast and grow

spring to the human mind, that lifts high the hope in the human heart and renders men needless of the flight of time and the approach of age. We of the Great Southwest are the builders of an Empire, and in the face of what we have seen accomplished and what we see yet to be done, we have no thought of the flight of time (except when our notes come duel, age steals upon us unawares and Time touches us never so gently. In the face of our possibilities there is an inspiration that keeps us ever young in thought ard feeling, and gives to men a vitality and an energy that renders them effective at ages in which they would be relegated to the re- tired list in other and less favored lands.
 During the sixteen years that have passed since its first issue TIE OASIS has achieved and main tained proud position among the newspapers of the Great Southwest. It Is one of the most widely known newspapers of the present day, and 1t has become the recognized ex- ponent of one of the largest areas upon the face of the globe. It is in way the local representative of the English speaking public of three great commonwealths, Ari- zona, Sonora and Sinaloa; and its subscription list extends all over the world among people who have interests in one or another of the three political subdivisions named. During the past two years railway development upon the West Coast of Mexico has widened greatly and extended far the field of the ac;iv- ity influence of this newspaper. All that has been accomplished by good, hard work, inteligently directed and persistently prose cuted. And that 1t can be main tained no other way than by the intelligent, we'll directed effort and hard, unremitting labor is as we'll understood now by those having in hand the great work of THE OASIS as 1t was realized when undertaken at the outset.
 There was time when 1t was thought folly to try to run a news paper in Nogales. When THE OASIS was established here there were as many words of Encouragement as there were of encouragement. Some of the leading business men at that time in Nogales told the writer flatly that "Nogales was no place to run a newspaper" and in com menting upon it's location here some of the other Arizona news papers dubbed Nogales "the grave yard of newspapers" Neither the words of Encouragement nor the sneering commentary of contempo- raries mattered with the writer
 In surveying the wonderful natural resources of the West Coast of Mexico and Southern Arizona it needed not the eye of prophecy to see that here laid unappreciated d
 virgin field for the work of the
 right kind of a newspaper, such as TIE OASIS people knew within their
 hearts themselves capable of mak ing. As the town stands today
 Nogales is the proof of the faith
 which was in them; and in the de-
 velopment going on in the vast re-
 zion to the southward and the

YOAKUM TALKS OF THE
FARMERS AND RAILROADS.

Shawnee. Okla, Aug 1S.-Before
the Farmers Union of Oklahoma in
session here, B. F. Yoakum. of the
Rock Island-Frisco Lines last night
delivered an address, taking as his
subject THE Farmers and the Rail-
roads"
During the course of his address he
spoke of the large amount of money
uselessly expended OF canals and riv-
ers, but disclaimed any intention of
opposing their Improvement for wa
ter transportation.
Political extravaganza vas On
demned strongly. anu he opposed the
policy of building up a huge army and
navy, saying that the cost of one 12-
inch gun would reclaim 1,571 acres of
land and that the cost of one dis
charge of all the guns of our navy
would reclaim owe 1000 acres of
land, providing homes for 500 fam
lille. He earnestly approved of the
building of good roads. The follow
ing are extracts from Mr.. Yoakun's
address:

territory to be served by the new rail
road is a good farming country, the

to build has een overcome. On the
other hand, the first question a farm

the railroad and the railroad must
have the farmer. Their interests are
inseparably linked. The prosperity

prosperity and success of the other,
