Perhaps new year resolutions
would be better kept if we made
fewer of them. In the fervor ot
good intentions which possesses
many people at the beginning of
the year, some make resolutions on
everything, little and big. When
the fervor passes and one realizes
the difficulty and even impossibility
of keeping all of them, the bars are
let down and the good resolutions
scatter in every direction. Far bet
ter make but one or two resolutions
covering what is essential in ones
life, and then spare no effort to keep
them.

AIKEN AUGUSTA NEW
ROAD,
WORK BEGUN ON NEW CEMENT
GRAVEL ROAD.

The Augusta-Aiken Highway AS
sociation has already raised five
thousand dollars for the construct
| ion of the highway between Angus
ia and Aiken, and work is now in
progress on the portions of the high
way which will have to be built
through the woods and fields. There
about five miles of road that will
have to be constructed outright
through the territory between Belve
dere and Langley. and the Associ-
atiod wants this portion completed
before any others. The greater
part Of the road between Augusta
and Aiken is in good condition, and
therefore does not require working!
but the portion which must be con.
structed will be begun at once.
President j. {. Lamar, of the Asso-
citation states that before the end of
the tourist season there will be a
splendid road between Augusta and
Aiken, although they will not be
able to equip it in as thoroughly as |
they would wish, but by next win:
ter the Augusta-Aiken cement-grav- |
cl road will be one Of the best in the |
ountry.

compliments of California Raisin
Growers. The other Hartman
lines will cooperate, and without
doubt take similar action. The
lecture bureau of the Hartman
lines in the East, under charge of
Mr.. J. w. Irwin, will have
series of lectures delivered on the
use of California raisins and the
observance of Raisin Day, reach
ing probably $4,000 people.
The San Francisco hotels have
already signi6ed their intention of
aiding, and will no doubt take con-
certed action. A million raisin
primers with recipes will be dis
tributed over the United States,
telling people how to serve raisins
and instructing them in their uses.
Every business man in California
will receive request to help OBJ
serve Raisin Day by making his
friends and patrons more familiar
with one of California's choicest
products. Altogether it is expected
to discount THANKSGIVING records on
April 30th, and to make people of
the United States generally sit up
and take notice OF California
Raisins. Subsequently an adver-
Using campaign will be undertaken
to keep raisina to the front through
on the country.
The work is to be done by the
Fresno Chamber of Commerce,
with the cooperation of the Pas
senger Department of the Southern
Pacific, under the direction of the
General Passenger Agent.

Upon the Oath ult. the Pacific
Mail steamer San Jose put into Ma
zatlan on her regular voyage to Pa
mama, and while there several hours
discharging cargo party of pas
sengers put ashore to look the city
over; and they paid their respects
to the American consulate where
they were entertained Hospitality
by Consul Louis Kaiser, his ac-
complished daughter, Mrs. Gladys
B. Freidburger, and the vice consul
Mr.. Gus Kaiser. The callers were
surely a party of delightful people;
and in their hosts at the consulate
they found a trio of the same kind
as 1onselves. Almost their en-.
tire e ashore was passed at the
con; .e; and it was the good
fortune Of THE OASIS editor to drop
into the consulate while they were
there and participate in the festivi-
ties. One would travel far and
long without meeting again SO con-
genial and happy a crowd of
people; and their hosts witnessed
their departure with regret.
The voyagers consisted of Mr..
and Mrs. c. C. Carleton, of St.
Louis, Missouri, who were return.
ing home from a visit in California
via Panama and New York; Majo

engaged in mining in Honduras
who was en- route to his scene OF

cry of Los Angeles, a physician
who was EN- route to the Canal

California Raisin Day, April goth.

The raisin men of California
have decided on April Both as
"Raisin Day" and are organizing
to make it success. The co-ope-
ration and assistance of railroads,
steamship lines, hotels and mer-
camille establishments throughout
California will be asked.
A meeting was held in Fresno
on March 10th, attended by repre-
sentatives from over the valley of
the raisin interests and representa-
tives of the Southern Pacific Rail-
way Company. At this meeting
the executive committee of the
Chamber of Commerce decided to
raise $4,000 or more to tell in
simple language just how much
good it will do the average citizen
to eat raisins and how to prepare
them. This on Raisin Day, with
the hope that hereafter they will
help to dispose OF the $4,000 tons
of luscious fruit Fresno has on
hand. The campaign is not con-
fined to California, but is to be
pressed vigorously throughout the
East.
The Southern Pacific Company
has agreed that all of its traffic
forces shall work to make Raisin
Day success. In all OF its sta
tons, in all suburban trains, in all
its ferry boats, on all its Atlantic
steamers, it will put up posters adj
vertising Raisin Day On all
Southern Pacific diners and in all
eating stations raisin5 are to be
served gratis on Raisin Day, with
