Here is the pledge taken by all joining the Boosters Club in Tucson:
The oasis., 1909-08-07

side having Mir. Pellegrin stand up and shout in print "Nogales is Booming" or Watch Us Grow"
 There ought to be good business at Nogales for several special lines of trade. About two years ago good harness maker established here in business. Yet he could not make the business pay and he abandoned the field. Why? Be. cause there are too many business houses carrying harness as a "side line." Should they abandon that side line the capital they have in harness could be used in extending and making more varied their stock in their legitimate lines, re. taining at home money that is sent abroad for goods they don't have, and open the way to another busi. ness house in the harness trade Several other side lines may be enumerated that could be dropped to good advantage, thus making room for other business houses, in. creasing the business community, giving the people better service all around, retaining at home money that is sent away.
 The category of methods and in. huences that are initiating against the growth and advancement of Nogales could be extended almost indefinitely. They will continue to hamper the growth of the town so long as they prevail. If NogaIes IS to continue to advance, they must be corrected. To compass correction they should be probed and defined. The place for that prob. ing and definition is in the Board of Trade. And unless the business men of Nogales can get together and all together-and formulate a broad and liberal business policy they will find themselves and their town outstripped by neighboring towns in southern Arizona and along the border. Anything else, and particularly such inane vapor- ings as are put forth from day to day by MT. Pellegrin, are nothing but a silly "bootstrap method"
The oasis., 1909-08-07
THE BooTSTRAP METHOD.

By tugging at his bootstraps a cowboy cannot lift himself into the saddle. Nor can he do it by say ing: q am going to get into that saddle; watch me do It." He would stand looking at the horse forever, and never find his seat upon the
 leather if telling what he is going to do and talking were all he did. Rather does he, with a greater or less degree of intelligence, set about and carry to completion the con- secutive and sequent actions of the mind and body necessary to land himself upon the back of his mount. First he grasps the reins with his left hand, then he inserts his left foot into the stirrup, catches the cantle with his right hand, springs from his right foot, swings aloft his right leg, and presto, he is seated, ready for his ride. Perhaps then he does not get the intended ride unless he exercises far more intel ligence and dexterity in maintain ing his seat than he evinced in reaching it. He could stand talk ing until doomsday about what he was going to do, but unless he went to work intelligently and effectively to carry out his declared intention he never would accomplish results.
 Now, then, suppose, the cowboy in essaying to mount aud ride his broncho repeated that old fable of of Hsop about "The Belly and the Members"-how long would he be getting into the saddle and rid ing away2 Suppose his left hand refused or neglected to grasp the bridle rein, and he endeavored to mount without control of the horse; or suppose any of the other actions described was omitted, would he be successful? No one would have the hardihood to say that he could
 Yet MT. Pellegrin and some few gentlemen who seem to initiate hin are seeking to build Nogales into g large city by the "bootstrap me
 thod." Day after day the Times

Club" in Nogales?
 But to return to the main sub- feet: "The Boot Strap Method"
 If Nogales is to profit by the ad-
 vantage of situation there will
 have to be intelligent we'll directed
 effort along definite lines. Just as the cowboy exerts well directed
 effort. THE OASIS believes it can
 be done. The Board of Trade has done good and effective work along certain lines, and it should have the liberal support of every busi-
 ness man in the town. But to THE OASIS it does seem that the scope of it's operation should be ex-
 banded and enlarged. The organi-
 zation should include every busi-
 ness man in Nogales, There
 should be frequent meetings of the entire organization for the sake of
 conference and discussion of var.
 ious topics of interest that affect
 the welfare and advancement of
 the town and its business interests.
 And the aim and object of such
 discussions should be to define any
 disadvantage under which the busi-
 ness development of the town may
 be burdened, and seek remedy.
 Such discussions should be frank
 and open. All should express
 freely their views, and none should
 take offence at any statement pre-
 sented in good faith, with an earn
 est desire to arrive at the best re-
 suits. Such topics as loss of trade,
 when 1t occurs, should be considered
 and efforts made toward adoption
 of some plan whereby the same
 may recovered. For instance, it is
 stated that since completion of the
 Nogales- -Cananea railway the trade that came from the Santa Cruz re.
 zion Tn Sonora goes to Cananea. A free discussion by the Board oI Trade, with every business man in town present, would develop the cause or causes for that loss and present remedy, adoption o which would restore the lost busi ness. Nogales gets cheaper freight l rates than Cananea, and surely : with that advantage Nogales mer [ chants can undersell Cananea. I : there is some other cause free discussion by all the business mer 3 would discover the same and sug gest a remedy. In freight rate : Nogales has such an advantag, 3 over Tucson that the merchants o r the latter city ship goods by raj g from the East to the line city ant : then haul them to Tucson b, l wagon. Yet it is predicted freel, @ that when the Twin Buttes cut of 3 is completed the trade of the Sant e Cruz valley will go to Tucson : Surely the business men of Nogale : are not going to permit that. Blu ! if they are going to prevent a something will have to be done be

THE PLEDGE.

THE PLEDGE.
 "On my word and honor, 1 now de- clare that as long as 1 am a resident of this community, it will be my constant aim to boost at any and all times.
 "I will do what can for any public work that has the good of the commun- itv as it's object.
 ''l will submit and abide by majority rule, and will not knock or howl when things are not done my way.
 "I will take no radical or extreme position on any question before the people, and will have due respect for the opinions of my friends and neighbors when their opinions are opposed to mine.
 ''I will try at all times to say some. thing good about my city and about my people, or keep my mouth shut.
 ''I realize that if this community is good enough to live in and make my money in, it is the proper place in which to spend my money"
 It would be pertinent question to ask how far MT. Pellegrin would go to observe the obligation of any such pledge? With regard to the second paragraph did he do so to- ward the Arizona < Sonora Cham. Der of Mines? Has he done SC with the Board of Trade? And in both instances was not his course in opposition to the third para graph? Both of those organiza tions were within the range of the second paragraph of the pledge printed above. A. L. Pellegrin de clared to a committee of the Cham Der of Mines that he would figh that organization and he did fgh it, in which fight k. J. Pellegrir stood hand in hand. Why? Be cause majority of the board 0 directors of the organization con ducted an important matter thei own way instead of the way of tn, Pellegrins. When the Board O Trade was organized k. J. Pelle grin was right at the front in tn organization. He was a membe of the board of directors. At tn end of the first year he refused re election, and before the seconc year terminated he went up to tn office of the Secretary, registered great howl at the course of tn board in certain matter, and can celled his membership in the or ganization. Now, then, with sucl a record behind him is he not
