The Coat Was Too Short.

Tuesday morning a native named Castaneda found himself in serious difficulty through a futile attempt to annex a bolt of silesia at the store of A. Sabatier, at the corner of Morley avenue and International street. He slipped the piece of cloth under his coat and started for the door. Constable Lopez was in a commanding position in the gallery overlooking the store, where he was engaged in fitting suit of clothing for his nephew, and he saw the whole transaction. The cloth was wound loosely and an end escaped from beneath the coat, trailing along the floor and upon the provement outside, attracting the attention of a clerk who stop ped the thief. Finding himself caught the latter wanted to know the price, and was referred to the constable, who was hastening down the stairway to take hand in de- velopments. The culprit asked the constable to name the price, and the officer referred him to Justice Chatham, leading him to the court house, where he was lodged in jail to await the formal presentation of his case to his honor. When he found himself up against the real thing the man immediately feigned drunkenness, and when he reached the jail he was as drunk as the traditional boiled owl. At two o'clock that afternoon Judge Chat ham gave the man a hearing, and the sentence was twenty-five days in jail for petty larceny.

Nothing stale in the way of meat, fish or vegetables will be permitted to remain upon the premises. The floors are laid in concrete, with frequent hydrants for washing out and flushing them at any and all times, which will be attended to daily by the municipal authorities. For the convenience of patrons and employees modern toilets are supplied in premises ad- jacent, all fitted with the latest and most approved devices in plumDlng.

suspended, to admit of caving and removal of all loose or broken rock in the walls before continuing the work of completion. The dimen- sions at tha [ time would have filled about the requirement of the fran chise, viz.; 500,000 gallons capacity. Upon the ninth day of May in the present year the work was resumed under the superintendence of Mir. Charles H. Pollner, the first work being construction of road up the hill to the reservoir, to facilitate delivery of material, at the same time work was commenced in en. larging the excavation. At the same time MT. Pollner was inform ed that the work would have to be completed by the third of Septem- Der. The rock at the northwestern corner of the excavation was found to be so soft and shattered that it had to be excavated to the floor of the reservoir to get a solid founda- tion upon which to build a retaining wall. At that corner the wall built is more than twenty-nine feet in height, and between nine and ten feet in thickness, tapering down as raised to thickness of three feet and six inches, which is the width of the top of the wall on all sides. The inside of the excavation and walls is lined with brick covered with cement, and the floor of solid rock is also cemented over. In construction of the walls there was used rock measuring 1900 perches, and there are 63,000 brick in the inner lining of the walls. In mak- ing concrete bottom and in lining or surfacing the bricks there were used 125 barrels of cement. Besides that material two carloads of lime were used. Upon the floor the reser- voir measures 110x30 feet, and at the top of the walls the dimensions are 126x40 feet, while the depth is twenty-seven feet, six inches. The capacity is 100000 gallons. The reservoir was completed, except the roof, and water turned in Fri day evening, August 27th. The roof will be finished today, Septem' Der 4th. The size of the excavation on May 18th, when present work was commenced, was S6x25 feet; il is now 110x30 feet. The reservoir was open for public inspection Sunday, August 29th, with about twelve feet of water, or approxi' mating 500,0O0 gallons.
 In closing this account THE OASIS extends congratulation to tht people of Nogales upon the assur ance of a splendid water supply and the water company for it' magnificent compliance with al the requirements of the franchise and to MT. Ephraim, president o the company, for the fine manner in which he has brought about tht great result.
 Mir. Ephraim states that anothe reservoir will be built immediately upon the summit of the Noon hill on the west side of the town.

new T6s6INOll Ol bllC NOBolOo " otOl Company, on the hill above Marsh Heights, large concourse of clti- 2ens who had accepted the general invitation of the company to be present at the formal acceptance by the Town Board of the reservoir as complying with the terms and requirements of the franchise. There were present Mayor Brick wood, Town Trustees Doherty, O'Connor, Reddoch, Cumming, Peck, City Attorney Frank J. Duffy, on behalf of the town, and President L. Ephraim, representing the Water Compsny. Presidente A. Claussen from Nogales, Sonora, and number of prominent citi- zens of the sister city were present as specially invited guests. A col lation was served, all being made welcome, and all doing full justice to the good things provided.
 The assemblage being called to order MT. Ephraim, representing the Water Company, addressed the assemblage, and particularly the mayor and town board of No- gales, Arizona, calling their atten- ton to the fine reservoir, and asked its acceptance as complying with the terms and requirements of the franchise. Mayor Brickwood res bonded, admitting that the require ments of the franchise had been met, and the capacity of the reser- yoir was double that stipulated in the concession.
 Judge w. A. O'Connor, one of the town trustees, followed the mayor, speaking in the same strain. The gentleman recounted how the board had insisted upon placing in the franchise a stipulation that the proposed reservoir should hold at at least one million gallons of water, but that Mir. Ephraim, for the water company, hung upon a capacity of half million, which latter figure was accepted; but that in performance of the contract the Water Company had made its capacity one million, two hundred thousand gallons.
 Judge Eb. Williams and City Attorney Frank J. Duffy made short and pleasing addresses also. After which MT. Ephraim made another little speech, des- criptive of the beginning of Noga- les at the time of his arrival twenty-seven years ago in October next, and the steady and substan- tlal growth that had taken place in the intervening years, predicting that the future will be found filled with prosperity and greatness for the fair city. In his reminiscent remarks MT. Ephraim mentioned Mayor Brickwood, Doctor Doherty, and few others who are all that are left now of the pioneers of twenty.seven years ego. Mir. Duffy made also few supplementary re- marks, calling attention to the fact that when he came to Nogales, six teen years ago, "the spot where we are now was hill; now it is hole In the ground filled with water"
 In an account of the formal ac- ceptance of the reservoir there are few facts with regard thereto winch are of interest, and serve to complete the record. Last year excavation work was commenced ana quite an excavation was ac. Vomplished, after which work was

BIG SHOW TO OPEN
SOUTHERN TEAMS WILL GET IN
 ACTION TODAY.
Cool Weather Is Promised, But Never theless Big Crowds Will Wit ness The Initial Contests
 in Every City.

Atlanta. Ga, April 1.-The Southern League pennant race will begin tomor- row afternoon with every team in the circuit scheduled to play. Little Rock will be at Memphis. Montgomery at Nashville. Birmingham at Atlanta and Mobile at New Orleans.
 The all important questions of the opening day weather presents possible grounds for disarranging the schedule, Tor the weather man has said that it may be showery in the vicinity of Memphis and Nashville. For the New Orleans and the Atlanta fans the weather mans forecast was more com forting, nothing worse than possibly overcast skies being predicted tonight. The outlook also Is for breezes just cool enough to furnish satisfactory excuses for disappointed Jevotees to- morrow night who may be compelled to explain the initial defeat of the home team. This years race is watch ed with keen interest owing to last seasons rousing finish. After a season in which one team after another held the lead for at least a short time, Nashville and New Orleans in the clos ing days of the summer just managed to lift themselves out of the reach of Memphis and then at Nashville these two leaders fought for a pennant which was still the prize of either team until the last ball was pitched in their final game which ended with Nashville the victor and the league champions An- other good race Is promised Tor this season.
