ANOTHER CHAPTER.

Tuesday the Nogales Daily Times
announced Mr.. j. E. Lord as les
see and business manager of that
paper, and it is reported that the
lease includes a contract of pur-
chase. In noting the fact The
OASIS does so with nothing but good
wishes for success for the gentle
man in the undertaking he essayed.
And it is with some degree of sat-
isfaction that the change is chron-
icled in these columns; for if Mr..
Lord is a real newspaper man,
which he is assumed to be, he will
wish to make a reasonable return
for his time and attention to the
business, and chance to accum-
ulate a competency. That is the
aim of all business men, and it
should be the aim of newspaper
men. There is only one way of
effecting that aim; and that is to
do business at prices that will re-
turn profit, after paying all ex-
penses.
Too frequently printers who get
hold of a printing Office think they
are doing we'll when they are max
ing good wages. That is where
they slip up. Beside paper bills
and wages for the printers and fol-
the proprietor, whose very position
demands bit more, there are rent
insurance, taxes, wear and tear o
/ plant, and a score of other little
items that go into cost which they
never take into account. A plum

iona, are more than willing to CO.
operate, and it is sure that the
governing body of Nogales, Sonora,
will meet them half way. With no
desire to seem offcious in the mat
ter, nor to dictate, The OASIS sug.
gests that there be called a Joint
meeting of the two town councils
to discuss the situation, and to de-
wise means toward putting the two
towns jointly upon the most eff
Gent basis for complete and effec-
tive fire protection.
Since the foregoing was in type
The OASIS has had an interview
with Mr., Claussen, the presidente
of the municipality of Nogales,
Sonora, who stated that the gov
ernlng body OF that side OF the line
is arranging to establish a fire de.
partment, with complete appara-
tus, and to install twenty-five hy-
drants. But Mr. Claussen agrees
with the general idea Of the article
that there should be cooperation
between the two towns, even with
two departments, for in case of a
serious fire, with high wind, it
might require the united effort OF
both departments to extinguish
the conAagration.
The oasis., 1909-02-06
MUNICIPAL COOPERATION.

The fierce and destructive fire
with which Nogales, Sonora, was
visited in the early hours of Satur-
day of last week demonstrated
more than ever before the mutual
interdependence of the two towns
of Nogales, and the need of intel
ligent and effective corporation by
the two municipalities in making
provision for meeting just such
emergencies. Five business estab-
lishments were destroyed, and for
a time several others were endan.
gereG. 1t is related that the Banco
de Sonora building was ignited no
less than four times, and that it
was only by the most strenuous
-exertion that it was saved. Other
buildings took fire and were saved
by dint of great exer ion only. The
fire department of Nogales, Ari-
IONA, responded to the call, and
did valiant service in combining the
flames within the buildings that
we're already afire when the appar-
atus reached the scene, and was OF
material assistance in preventing
spread of the conhagration.
Now The OASIS would suggest
that there be joint meetings of the
governing bodies of the two mum
icipalities to devise ways and
means of making more efficient and
effective the fire fighting force o.
the place, and the facilities neces
sary to raise that efficiency and
effectiveness to the highest degree
possible. Surely, if the subject be
presented Alright, the municipality
of Nogales, Sonora, will contribute
handsomely toward fund neces
sary to be raised to buy new hose
to keep the apparatus in the hes
order, and to pay custodian TO
doing 50. And very likely tn
municipal authorities of the Sonori
city will see the need of supplying
more hydrants. In case of fir

ing Office will chase around to Gus
to mers with proofs, copy, etc, and
never think OF making any such
charge.
Some ten years ago Mr.. Heney
attempted the newspaper business
in Tucson. He was going to re-
volutionize the business. The news
papers and printers were charging
too much. He was going to do,
and did different. At the end IF
year he quit and went back to mer-
chandising. Afterward in con-
versation with The OASIS man, his
business manager, Mr.. Roca, said:
There would be money in the
newspaper and printing business if
the little leaks could be stopped"
That is the point. They cannot he
stopped, and to enable newspaper
to succeed prices that will pay for
them must be had. Now, then, if
Mr.. Lord expects to succeed in his
venture he will have to get prices
which will cover the little leaks.
That is what THE OASIS has en-
deavored to do always. But too
frequently the man in the printing
business who does know how to
charge to cover the little leaks and
make profit is hampered and in
iured in his efforts to build up
good, profitable business with a
newspaper by the fierce compete
ton of those who have no idea of
figuring cost and profit, or of max
ing the business pay for the little'
leaks. That is what ruined thei
Pellegrins. Out from the very
handsome profits in the assay busi-
ness and the jewelry business they
covered the little leaks in the news
paper and printing business. And
in doing so the assay business and
the jewelry business have gone
where the woodbine twineth," to
borrow the picturesque and express,
sive metaphor of Jim Fiske, the
} former partner Jay Gould. Their
idea was to get business at any
price. And they got it. Some that
they got they took away from THE
r OASIS: some they took away from
I the Vidette. But never once has
} The OASIS reduced its prices to
: save anything that the Times got

now its prices are not at the level

the greater the saving in time,
where few minutes may mean the
saving of many thousand dollars
Sometimes fire can get such a
start within FIVE minutes that it
has spread far and wide before it
can he controlled; and that five
minutes can be lost in laying sew

nearest hydrant, when had the
hydrant been two or three hundred
feet nearer that precious five min
utes would he saved, and with it
all the valuable property swept
away by the fire having had such
a start before a stream could be
turned on. The much greater
pressure given through a short
hose is also very important factor
in extinguishing fire. And with
hydrants close and frequent two and
even three streams can be turned on
a conhagration, where with them
more distant and farther apart it
takes all the hose to get a single
stream to a point of vantage. And
when hydrant is sufficiently
close so there is hose to spare, so
two lines of hose may be attached,

morning; two lines of hose playing
from single dydrant. Had there

er,y. Also there should be rigid
enforcement of police protection to
firemen and apparatus when in
operation on either side of the
line. As the two towns grew and
extend there will be more fires, and
one catching on either side of the
line can reach its way very quickly
across the line into the other town
As a matter of self protection bott
towns should be prepared to work
together to the utmost advantage
whenever a fire starts in either

and good fortune in matters s,

"FIREwATER MADE CON-
 GRESs INDIAN PUGuIsTIC
From Thursdays Daily,

 Another drunken Indian was lodged in the county jail last night by Sher- if Smith, who arrived with him from Congress, where he was com mitted by the justice of that precinct. His name is Moss I, and incidentally he had too much red eye the other day. In that condition he put on his war paint inside and out and en- deavored to anihilate the Medicine Man of his tribe who was doctoring his aged mother with piteous moans and big talks to the God of the Happy Hunting Grounds.
 Moss was drunk enough to appre eiate the fact that the treatment was disastrous and prevailed on the doctor to get some pale face dope. This led to words and then the fun commenced. Moss got his feet into action and sent in some side winders with his hands. The Indian doctor was knocked out, and Moss was run in.
 He admitted that he was full and says that had he been sober he would possibly not have resorted to such strenuous actions as the medicine man is a good Indian and has never been known to lose a case in all of his long years as the dean of the faculty. Moss will stay in the county jail tor 30 days to get the firewater out of his system. He promises to be good after this and will ask the forgiveness of his mamma

counties who have written, all of whom are in fine physical condition,
 but as age is creeping upon them, they find their vigor leaving, so far as manual effort is to be considered, and would like to know when the doors are to be opened to receive them.
 One miner of other days, Lew Scanlan, is mentioned as desirous to come to this Arizona home and is at present located at Globe. He is known from one end of the territory to the other and in his day was rated as one of the most generous of men and at the same time possessed a for tune, which went into the ground in several mining investments in later years. He, too, is in good physician condition but time has left its mark on what was once a perfect type of manhood.
 It is very probable, according to Major Doran, that in a few weeks hence the calling of plans for this home will come from the board Of control and after the selection is made, the contract will be awarded and construction follow. The home should be completed in the spring and opened to the aged pioneers who deserve to enter it.
 Governor Sloan, who is in the city, states that the institution will re- ceive from now on his earnest con- as he is in sympathy with the measure and will use his efforts to see it rushed ahead and the pio- neers cared for to the limit of the territory's resources, as they deserve to be.

WILLIAMS MURDER
 CASE IS CONTINUED
CFrom Thursdays pailyl

Flagstaff advices received in Pres cott yesterday stated that the cele brated case of the territory against Neill and Woods, accused of the murder of a man named Schwartz over a year ago, has been continued until the April term of court in 1910
 The first motion for a continuance was overruled by Judge Doe but on Tuesday morning the attorneys for the defendants renewed the applica ton and asked to be allowed to file a second motion for a continuance which was granted by the court Whereupon the affidavit of the de. fendants for a postponement was fiji. ed and the court, after carefully con, sidering the affidavit, granted the continuance until the above date. The deefndants, Woods and Neill, were then ordered remanded to the custody of Sheriff Francis of Coconino county without bail.
 Following this action it is said to be the purpose of Sheriff Francis to bring either Woods or Neil to the city until the case is called at the next term. The two men will be separated, and will not be permitted to communicate with each other un- der any circumstances pending the trial of the case.
 W. A. Olds, to whom Woods is said to have confessed this crime, passed through Prescott yesterday en route to his home in southern Arizona. He was formerly 8 lieutenant of the Arizona rangers stationed at Will Hams, and is said to be conversant with the crime in every detail. He is the main witness of the prosecution.
 The trial of these men will be at tended with the most vigorous pros ecution the county can secure and it is the only topic of conversation in the north. The citizens of Co., conino demand a fair trial and do not wish any injustice to prevail toward the men, and in which the authorities will likewise cooperate. The case in it's developments has star tied all clements and to this IS linked the popularity of the accused.
 NeilI is a young man of but B years of age and is prominent in that county, growing to manhood there. Woods was also popular but not known as extensively as Neill.

TROUT FOR OAK CREEK.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Sept. sS.-Fish and Game Commissioner Verkamy, to- gether with E. A. Sliker and Marcel Criez left for Oak Creek with a stock of trout left here by the ear of the United States commission. The trout in this instance numbered 15,- 900, but were so small that the loss was great, both in transit and after placing them in the stream. There was also an allotment of 2,500 brook trout intended for the dam at Blue. water, N. M, which were of a larger size and in which the loss was noth. ing. Oak Creek secured these owing to the fact that the Bluewater dam was destroyed by a waterspout some weeks ago.

Bank Stenographer Ar rested For Issuing AL
 leged Bad Check
(From Saturdays Daily)

Bert Thompson, who until d few
 days ago was employed as a sten-
 Ographer in the Bank of Arizona,
 where he became familiar with the check drawing business as a matter of personal association with banking people, yesterday was arrested for en- deavOring to draw on the funds of that bank through the belief that he had some coin on hand, even if he was out of employment
 He affixed his signature, it ls al- legged, to a piece of paper to the ex- tent of SIS and after running up and down the street in quest of a patron, went into the liquor house of John son and Ricea and rendered the slip to them. This check was presented at his old bank, where the signature was declared worthless. He made an eff fort to conceal his whereabouts but later was arrested by Under Sheriff Raible and was placed behind the bars. His case will come up before Judge Moore today for legal investi- gation.
 Thompson has been a resident of this city but a few weeks. When out of the bank he was a devotee to the game of bridge whist, it IS said, not for the fun of the thing, but for all there was in it, financially speaking. He was a shrewd Elittle player" as the saying goes, but there were others. So he played and lost. The old, old story and after all he had to keep up the fascinating pleasure of his leisure time by bridging" it to his partner and when he called "no trumps" he in meant no funds That was his downfall.
 The last effort to reeoup the losses he made was, to "kiek it" to the no trump" deal, it is said, and now the law will take a "grand slam'' 1t his game.

PIONEER WOULD

Frank Alley, the versatile journalist of southern Arizona, in a communica- ton to Major Doran, the superir- tendent of the Pioneer Home of ArI- zona, writes interestingly in behalf of that movement and particularly mentions several pioneers who are de- sirous of entering that institution.
 In MT. Aley's letter he says that O. L. Whiting is a resident of Bis bee at the present time and that this old pioneer is still engaged in his trade of carpenter and would es- teem it a pleasure to apply his voea- tion to assist in the building of that ereditable edifiee.
 While MT. Whiting is over 7S years of age, he is still capable of manual labor and will in all probability enter that home after he is through with his carpenter work on it. In addition to the above pioneer there are at least a dozen others in the southern

HEAVY SHIPMENTS OF
 CATTLE ARE BEING MADE
Trom Thursdays DailyD

Tuesday night the largest single
 shipment of range steers ever made
 from any point in this county, passed
 through Prescott en route to southern
 Arizona. The consignment consisted
 of S70 head of two and three year
 olds and were from the range firm of Hooker 6 Fain, who accompanied the train to the city. The animals were loaded at Mayer.
 The condition of these animals was splendid and were the best bunch of steers ever seen in this section, ac- cording to those who inspected them. They were culled from the range in the Ash Creek country and in addi- tion to Messrs. Fain and Hooker. who had charge of them, several other stoekmen contributed to the shipment. In about two weeks another similar order will be filled by this firm and it will reach at least s7O head and possibly more.
 Monday night while the animals were being held near Mayer a ter rife rain storm took place and the entire herd stampeded, scattering in all directions. Through the experience of the cowboys engaged in patrolling this big bunch, the animals were checked and before daylight every animal was back in place, saving the owners the expense of again rounding them up and the payment of demur- rage to the railroad for g cars.
 MT. Hooker says that his firm is gratified on this occasion to Dave Murdock, Fred Back, John Fredericks, Mart Sullivan and NOrville Cherry, each of whom rendered service that saved the firm a heavy sum and much delay.
 Following the above shipments, George A. Carter and G. A. Long of Williamson valley, are also prepar- ng to send to Imperial, Cal, an other heavy shipment of range steers, aggregating at least 1,5OO head. These will be loaded at Kirkland and placed on pasture for the southern Califor- lia markets.
 All rangemen in this section say hat the feed is better than in years md with that favorable condition the | op notch is likewise prevailing in prices, reaching the highest point in 'ver ten years. Yavapai cattle are yiven the preference and the absence f any of the customary epidemics mong the vast herds is an inviting ne for the consumer to entertain.

FAKE MAN o'wARsMAN
 LANDS BEHIND BARS
CFrom Fridays Daily)

One of the neatest ways to beat
 railroad out of fare and one of
 the most sublime methods to work on
 the sympathies of people unaecustom-
 ed to see on dry land a gun man of the navy rigged up for action, was shown up by fine piece of detee- tive work performed the other day by Deputy Sheriff Ahlers of Seligman, when he arrested Glenn Richards on the main line of the Santa Fe. Rich ards was carefully packed away in a and he gained entrance through q small opening in the end and without disturbing the seal that was riveted to the ear door. His personal appear anee was that of a man O warsmen, and to make the rigging complete his cay bore the letters of ''U. s. Cruiser California
 Deputy Ahlers piled him with ques- tions and after the first volley Rich ards seemed disturbed and fell into the gangway. He attempted to recall the Manila bay fight and divers oth- CT naval events and finally admitted he was a fake sailor and never saw the port hole of a revenue cutter, much less a big battleship.
 He said he was masquerading from Frisco and adopted the sailor uni form as an easy method to work on the sympathies of the landsmen along the route and so far he had easy sail ing, people Hooking to him along the route to ask all kinds of silly ques- tions, in which he gave them the patriotic story of devotion to the union jack and which later was sup plemented with a modest dissertation on an empty stomach and flattened purse.
 Deputy Ahlers took him before Judge Stivers and the latter asked him his destination, Richards saying he was going to Indianapolis. This city was also the home of the judge and he informed the prisoner that he was a disgrace to that town and he would give him just an even twenty days at Prescott.
 Otherwise he would appreciate the nautical joke and had he been from any other city his freedom would have been the verdict. Richards was parading along the Santa Fe as Frank Laprad and had papers to show his connection with that armored cruiser he was aboard of.
 He is about the most genteel fakir that has ever reached this city and feels pleased over the manner he worked the gullible ones until Ahlers got his eagle eye on him.
