there Is splash about thirty yards
away, your line becomes taut and
Is gliding out like lightning before you
can apply the brake. When you do 1t
Is almost jerked from your grasp and
simultaneously the tarpon leaps and
Wrlthes above the water again. There
Is no sight more beautiful to the an
gler than the graceful, silvery form of
the tarpon, like a CLEAN Of light from
darkness, leaping forth from the green
sea.
That moment when the tarpon has the
bait and YOU strike is the one Of all
Others most fraught with intense ex-
element. 1t Is the first crisis in the
battle. He is down again and your
hook holds. He darts back and forth,
ever going deeper in his wild rushes.
1t is an earnest fight The first ten
minutes seem like an hour Rush i'm
reel up, don't let rest; following the
advice, your arms tire, your hands be-
come numb, it may be, bleeding and
blistered, but you save your fish. Thus
you are lowed out toward the sea, al
ways fighting
In his first mad rushes the huge fish
gained on you, taking out nearly 100
yards Of your line. During the first
half hour he has decidedly the better
of the fight and keeps most of the
line. During the second half hour you
gain the lost line foot by foot and the
honors are about equally divided Now
the long rushes and leaps begin to tell
and he loses wind. IF he did not help
to kill himself by these wild rushes
and leaps, you could never land him.
By some kind Of intuition an angler
can tell when he has gained the mas
terry over fish. You feel instructive
ly that the second crisis has been
passed and the boat turns back toward
the bench and as the beach Is neared
you reel in and fight at close range
Once he dashes almost up to the
boat and suddenly turns about; you
nearly lost him that time. You soon
lead him back, however. Now he lies
near the boat; you see his cleaning
side gllsten in the light. "Stiddy now"
says your man, as the boat touches the
beach; you climb out and, resisting
his last waning strength, as he lashes
spray upon you, pull him out upon the
sand and the fight Is won

The Bidwels were convicted of swind

er Bidwell appealed from this decision
and had expressed the livclicSt hope Of
ultimately gaining his liberty. In the
midst of these hopes his fathers health
suddenly gave way Feeling that the
latter could not live long within prison
walls, Charles offered to abandon his
appeal providing his father were allowed
to plead guilty TO Il minor charge. To
this there was no objection ana today
the elder BidweIl finished serving the
ten days to which he was sentenced un-
der the new arrangement.

The Necessity Tor Tariff Commission

The argument in favor Of a tariff com
mission is strong and will grow stronger
as the foreign trade of the country ex-
pands. Tariff rates can not be fixed
anywhere. with the confidence that bust
ness will adjust itself to them. That
might have worked once; but those sim
pie days have passed. The tariff is now
employed by each of the great CONNER
ciai and Industrial nations with the ey-
ception Of Great Britain, as means of
securing trade concessions. as well as
means of protecting home industries.

become a science. and must be conducted

 Brothers and R. P. May, convicted recently at Kansas City of using the mails for fraudulent purposes was that in preparing and dis tributing descriptive letters and circulars advertising mining enter prises they promoted, they repre- resented prospects that might be made mines as mines developed to a point where dividends were assured. They suppressed the speculative risk in their enter prises, and represented that they were dealing in investments which they were not. And they miscalculated the amount of money necessary to bring forward to a fair test the real values of the prop critics in which they induced people to risk their money. Without doubt they induced to part with and lose their money people who could not support the loss. And in their literature they mixed so truth  and falsehood that only those posted most thoroughly could dis tinguish lines of demarcation.
 With one statement in the article under criticism THE OASIS agrees heartily:
 Modern mining more often calls for close business methods coupled with broad, practical and theo. retical knowledge of the subject than not.
 This paper has presented col umns with that theme its burden Long years ago the writer learned to distrust those who could pratt glibly about running a mine or business princlples-"just like g grocery store should be run" Al the business acumen in the world might reduce but it cannot elimi nate entirely the speculative risl in development of virgin mining ground; and only the most gros mlsmanagement or fraud can mak, a real mining investment in full, developed mine a risky one.

fNNSNNoNNA vial lands, fringed upon one side by the spray of the great Pacific Ocean, upon the other hemmed by the lofty Sierra Madre teeming with great variety of mineral wealth and adorned with vast forests, the state presents illimitable natural resources in wonderful variety that are destined to a splendid develop ment in which there will be given employment and made homes for hundreds of thousands of willing workers from all parts of the world. To those familiar with all the vast undeveloped resources of that won- derful region the spirit of prophecy is not needed to convince that it is entering upon period of develop ment and advancement that will De astonishing.
 And at the very outset of this great development Don Diego Redo assumes the reins of government and will guide the destinies of his native state through the golden years of it's early stages. It is a great work to which has been called this distinguished gentleman; and
 those who know him best predict that he will be found equal to the
 demands upon all occasions and at
 all times.
 When he resided in Guaymas,
 some ten or twelve years ago, THE
 OASIS editor made the acquaintance
 of Governor Redo, and was i'm
 pressed greatly with the gentle
 man at that time. Plain and un-
 assuming, democratic and easily
 approachable, he bore charm that was attractive and impressing. He was manager of the dry dock, ownel at that time by his father, since taken over by the govern ment. Although a very young man he was marked by the force and breadth of character he mani tested. Literally educated, com manding huently several languages besides his native tongue, well in. formed, in thorough command oi : himself, and without ostentation 3 the young man bore the impress oi 7 capacity and ability. To the years
