 There is a report extant in Guay- mas that the authorities of the Southern Pacific Company are looking over the plans the Santa Fe Company made years ago for a large tourist hotel at the summit of the Tortuga hill overlooking Quay mas and the bay, just east of Punta Arena. Those plans and the hotel site went with the transfer of the Sonora railway to the Southern

AN OBJECT LESSON
Worthy of Being Studied by Every Business Man in the Line Cities of Nogales.

This week there appears the last of a series of advertisements for the Eiderheimer-Stein Clothing, for which Ramon Vasquez is the local agent, and last week there com menced the first of similar series of advertisements of the Benj njamin Clothes, A. Carpena, agent. Both these series of advertisements are printed upon electrotype plates supplied by the advertisers, and paid for by them, not by their agents in Nogales. That adver- tising was placed through advertis- ing agents, who were paid com mission by the advertisers not by TIE OASIS. In each case the con- tract is that the advertising agent pay THE OASIS a net price per inch which is the same as that paid by its own home patrons. THE OASIS has laid down a rule to advertising agents that they are not the agents of this newspaper but of the adver- tiser, and that they must collect their commissions from their prin- cipals. Last year and two years ago TIE OASIS had the Benjamin
 advertising upon the same terms
 and this year it gets that again fol
 third time and the Eiderheimer. 1 Stein work. And for those large
 display advertisements, running
 from a quarter to half page, those
 outside advertisers pay the same
 price per inch as Roy < Titcomb the First National Bank, the Jim mic Fruit Company, or any othe advertiser, plus the commission t
 an advertising agent. Now ever, little while some Nogales bushes
 man criticises the "high prices
 charged by THE OASIS for advertis 7 ing space. Yet here are outsiders , foreigners, houses that advertise il
 the great magazines and metropol Q itan newspapers, who know tn Q value of advertising space, aud ar
 willing to pay for it, placing in I'll OASIS large sized advertisements a an advance of twenty-five per cer n upon what our own home mel
 chants would pay for the sam n space, if they ever took that much Q And the price per inch l these great outside concerns the same as it is to the smal l, est advertisement running in TH = OASIS. Reversing the usual ru the home advertiser gets space = THE OASIS at less cost than dot ', the foreign advertiser. Witbol

To Extend It's Lines.

Mir. Luis A. Martinez, president of La Compania Naviera del Paci- fco, which operates several lines of steamers plying along the West Coast of Mexico, returned this week to his home in Guaymas from an extended business visit in the City of Mexico, where he secured con sessions from the federal govern ment and arranged subventions for material extensions of the lines operated, to the great facilitation of coastwise commerce.
 One extension provided under the new concession is for a line of steamers from Mazatlan to San
 Diego, California, touching at San Jose de Cabo, Todos Santos and
 Magdalena Bay, with the privilege of extensions south to Manzanillo, and as far north as San Pedro, California, the port for Los An

NEW HOTEL COHEN
The New HosteIry of Cohen Brothers, at Hermosillo, Now Up-to-0ate in Every Particular.

At Hermosillo, two weeks ago . today, April 24th, the Hotel Cohen, which had been closed since Decem- Der, undergoing most thorough | process of rebuilding and transfor- nation. was re-opened to business, and is now in full swing once again, Many thousands of dollars have been expended in rebuilding and refurnishing the house, and today in all its ensemble-the structure, furnishings and equipments-it stands the equal of any hotel on the West Coast of Mexico; and no towns of the size of Hermosillo in California or Arizona can present anything better.
 As described in THE OASIS a couple of months ago, the house has been rebuilt throughout. The outer walls and cornice have been raised several feet, giving the structure a more lofty and massive appearance, and the exterior has been finished in rough stucco. The interior has been remodelled and arranged upon far different and more convenient plan. Entering the zahudR, or main entrance, the canlina, or barroom is at the left, and the office at the right. Passing through the office one enters the parlor a large, lofty, commodious room, we'll lighted and we'll ven tilated. Beyond the bar room is the billiard room, another fine, large room, where there will be in stalled several new billiard and pool tables, which have been ordered and are now en route. All these rooms open out upon the patio, great open square within the house sixty feet across. The patio has cement floor, with spaces for flower beds and trees. A serie, of handsome guest chambers ex tends along each side of the patio and in the prolongation of tn, structure beyond the patio on thu left.
 From the patio broad stairway with turn leads to the cGfe, ol the second floor. That has beel enlarged and made much nor comfortable and cheerful than for merly. The kitchen, adjacent, i furnished and supplied with all tn latest appliances in the culinar art. The table is supplied with al the delicacies of the season, an the cooking, which is in the Amer can style, is fine, the viands, i abundant variety, are served neatl and given an appetizing appear ance.
 Upon the upper floor is serit ol handsome guest chambers, flu nlShed anew throughout, with met' oedsteads, woven wire and ha mattresses, wardrobes, dressers, ct All the floors in the house are coi crete with cement finish, an ite gong far toward cleanliness, col VenItnce and comfort in war climates.

GREAT SUCCESS.
Increasing Attendance at Sum
mer Session-Student Pleased
Lecture Appreciated.


Eighty students are now enrolled at
the college summer session, and actually
engaged in daily study on the hill. This
largely exceeds the expectations of the
college authorities, who felt that an at
tendance of fifty would be encouraging
the first year. Many occupy rooms
in the college dormitories, Starr hall be-
ing reserved for women, and Painter hall
for men. The Hamlin commons are
open, with as many at the tables as dur
ing the college year. Numbers are not
the only encouraging feature of Middle
bury's new enterprise The teachers and
others pursuing the various courses ex-
press themselves as greatly pleased with
the opportunities they are enjoying, and
express the conviction that the college
has set very high standard in its first
summer session. Complaints are entirely
lacking, and many are saying that they
will return another year and bring their
friends.
Twenty-Five professors are now engag-
ed every day, some having as many as
three or four hours each. This is larger
faculty than ever before assembled in
the halls of Middlebury.
New York university has recognized
the summer session, and announced that
it will accept the credits Middlebury al
lows for the A. NJ. degree toward the
New York institutions degrees of Master
or Doctor of Pedagogy.
a very pleasant feature has been the
popular lectures open to the public.
Wednesday evening Bishop Hall lectured
before an audience that filled the body
of the Congregational church on Life
at the University of Oxford. The lee
ture was very instructive and was great
ly enjoyed.
Rev. Vincent Raw of Manchester, will
lecture this evening in the Chapel on
"MOnasteries in and about Florence.
Recreational features are not neglect
ed. Saturday picnic ride to Lake Dun
more will be arranged, under the direc
tion of Professor Silas y. Lottridge and
Mr.. John A. Niele. Next week tennis
tournament will be commenced.
In addition to the regular enrolment
sex esli from the yyillage are taking adj
vantage of the opportunity to take
courses in Biblical Literature and Domes-
tic Science. The college reading room
has been fitted up into a comfortable
kitchen, where instruction in cooking
and household management is given
each afternoon.
