and that in many pla les there were
no walks at all. The same condition
is true of the schools OF, the city.
Some action will be taken Immediate
ly in these matters.
A petition was presented from resi-
dents of north Fifth street asking
that the water mains be extended two
blocks so as to accommodate num-
Der Of new buildings that are going
up there and whose owners wish to
connect with the water works. Ac-
cording to the contract with the water
company they are not compelled to
extend their mains unless a return of
six per cent on their investment is
assured. It was shown that the num-
Der of water users signing the petit
ton would more than make this per
cent of profit and the commission will
probably act favorably upon the pc
tition. The city will have to put in
one hydrant to connect with the
mains.
Street SprinkIing.
There were three bids offered for
the work of sprinkling the streets of
the city during the summer. The bids
ranged from SIS to $95 per month,
and the matter of accepting or re-
iecting one of them was put over to
the next meeting.
Printing Ordinances.
The city auditor was instructed to
ascertain the expense of having the
ordinances of the city that gre In ef-
feet now, printed in pamphlet form
and if the cost is not prohibitive the
citizens of the city will have chance
to see what the laws of the corpora
ton are.
Inventory.
It was decided that an inventory
of all the property belonging to the
city should be made and kept on file
and that every department be charg-
ed with what they have and be held
accountable for proper distribution
of the materials and would be re-
sponsible for the safe keeping of all
permanent equipment.
.. City Park.
The matter of the establishment of
a city park was gone into to some ex-
tent and while there seemed to be
a sentiment in favor of the prOposi-

CITY COMMISSIONERS MEET

There was a regular meeting of the
citv commission last night and while
a great number of questions were dis
cussed there vas very little business
done. There seems to DO. desire
among the members of the commls-
sion to make number OF improve
ments but they are all In favor OF
going slow.
A City Hall.
There was considerable discussion
of the question of securing city
hall. There were members OF the
council who were in favor of purchas-
ing a site for the building in the near
future. and one of the arguments In
favor of this move was the fact that
the price of the property in the city
is fast advancing and that purchase
at this time would be good invest
ment. There was also the PROPOSE
ton of waiting until the county Is
ready to build another court house
and combine the two buildings. inc
question of paying the rent OF the ola
meeting place was also taken up ana
it was decided to have another Dill
presented including all the time the
room had been used and have 1t pre-
scented to the commission and 1t is
probable that the bill will then be
allowed and paid in full. There is at
present SITS due. II
Paid Fire DEPARTMENT.
The question of improving the fire
protection of the city received con-
siderable attention and it. was sug-
gested that a team or one horse, as
it was found necessary, be secured
and a man hired to take care Of 1t.
1t was shown that with improved
methods of fire fighting it would wa
terially reduce the. rates of insurance.
There was nothing done with the mat
ter at present. M
Second Night Police. r.
Commissioner Marquett again
brought up the question of an extra
man for the night police force and 1t
was practically decided to put on an
other man on the beat and the COM
mfssioners will confer with the chief
of police and the chief of the:sflre de-
partment to make some arrangements
for the combining Of the jobsof night
Waterman for the fire hall and night
police. It was argued that q beat
could be arranged that would not take
the officer more than three blocks
from the city hall at any time The
N. p. railroad company has made
known their willingness to give place
ON their right of way for the location
of a small city Jail and it was sug-
gested that the city purchases steel
cage and place it there for the ac-
commodation Of prisoners taken up
during the day or night. This would
mean q, reduction in the expenses, Of
keeping Of short term prisoners and
would also provide place where
"boes''. could be kept over night and
sent on their way rejoicing In the
morning. It was moved, seconded and
carried that the chief of police be
allowed SIS per month for the cste
of a saddle horse, the CHIEF to ptlr-
chase the animal cut Of his own mon

Sidewalks and Crossings.

Sidewalks and crossings came in:
for a good deal of attention and 1t IL
the intention of the commission to
have q large, amount of walk built
this season. The matter Of crossings
was quite thoroughly discussed and 1t
was stated that q cinder crossing
could be put in for a great deal less
money than the cement ones. There
is a city ordinance that will have to
be revised before cinder crossings
can be put in in certain parts of the
city, however. It was shown that the
sidewalks leading to the Catholic
church were in miserable condition

A cable Of Nov. 10 gives q summary
of the results of the elections of mem
bers Of q new storting.e It u stated
that Tor the next three years the Con
sentative and Liberal forces will be
In the majority. They number sixty
four, against forty-eight radicals and
eleven Socialists. The majority group
consists Of forty-flve Conservatives and
nineteen Liberals, though the dividing
line between these factions is in many
instances hard to see. Formation Of q
new cabinet will be the first result of
elections, though this probably will
not take place before the storting as-
sembles In January. It is likely that
former Premier Nicholson will be ask
ed to form new ministry, but his ac-
ceptance OF the task is considered
doubtful. Other men also are men.

Bratlis and Professor Stang The re-
suit of the election means that legisla.
ton will be more conservative, but
it Is impossible to tell if the radical
laws relating to water power and
mine franchises, passed at the last
session of the storting, can be chang
ed. Other issues are under discussion,
such as the referendum and the royal
right of dismissing the storting and
ordering new elections.

success of his invasion of a sevenfold
Arctic winter is conceded to depend
in largest measure on the best prod.
ucts of Chicago's canneries. While
staying there he will be the personal
guest of Consul Gade. Captain
Amundsen has been studying the mat
ter of provisions for months past, and
he will not carry cracker without
the approval Of the foremost chemist
Of Norway, Professor Sophus Torup,
with whom he has studied out every
detail Of his lrequirements. For seven
years. if favoring currents do not has

journey, Captain Amundsen's party,

sen insists upon visiting personally

THE SPANISH l0loM.


 Expressly for "l'nE OASIS" of Nogales, Afiz
 Taking advantage of opporlun- flies. time and time again we have insinuated the idea that Spanish or rather Iberian idiom, is destined to predominate in such way in the vast Atlantic basin, that even the Americans will be asorbed by such uncomfortable movement, regard less of their opposition, claims and prohibited measures frequently dictated in order to prevent such evolution.
 We are satisfied that our state ment has been the cause of smiles of incredibility, a phrase of mock- cry or a contempluous jest of some frivolous persons, that never think but of the present, whose sight does not reach beyond across the street and on whore imagination nothing could 6nd proper echo, but whatever is shuwy, bnmhastic, conspicuous and brilliantly formed by the glittering garish part of modern civilization. Whoever he. ;ieyes that the rulers of the world are only the great armies, powerful navies, monster guns and enormous wealth, giving therefore domain and sway to a given country over another. is under very erroneous impression. The world is governed by ideas and nothing else; and whoever entertains the thought that 1t can be ruled but by force of arms, is greatly mistaken, because to prevent the spreading of the ideas would be just trying to erect gates on an open held.
 The Iherian idiom is an assim- Hating, communicative. insinaut- ing, ample and philanlropic civil izalion. Art is ils crown, noble ness, faith, self-denial and the hpruism of ils brilliant history are its glory; right and civillty are it's defense; the indomahle spirit oI independence is it's strength; all easy, sonorous, ductile language rapturing with its eloquence, i. ll' verb, and catholicism Is it's religion showing the pure and humantar' ian morals proclaimed from the summit of the Golgotha, emhel ished hy the suhlimity of platoni, philosophy, wrapped up with tn, artistic beauties of Hellenic wnr ship, endowed with the Roman o,ien,ation and ceremonies anc sheltered in marvellous architecture monuments. causing universal won der for ever and ever.
 This explains easily the facility and pronptness by which oul civilization was broadly spread al over America. gaining the attach ment of innumerable nations anC native tribes scattered over tn, American continent. This explaini also the entering of Spain int Morocco; this is why our civillza ton is being inoculated into thu territories of Sahara. Golden Rive and islands in the Gulf of Guinea for that same reason 1t prnmptl. controlled the Canary Islands, an' likewise, the lberians went acros into Brazil.
