shall pay duty also. It is a we'll known fact that some ores carry both lead and zinc. When such ores seek importation their con- tents are dutiable under both the lead and zinc sections of the tariff act. Ores of that character carry two kinds of merchandise" !" both dutiable. The ore itself Is not the "merchandise" e"-that Is nothing but the package in which it is contained. It would be equally just to permit an importer to bring in free of duty a half dozen bolts of satin because in the same box are another half dozen bolts of silk upon which duty is paid. There is an analogous case. The box like the lead.zinc ores, ,-carries two kinds of merchandise. Under the reasoning of the smelter trust lawyers "the government must must elect under which one of the two provisions duty is to be taken" Was there ever before put forward such rot to be taken seriously?

voice in shaping the result of an issue-as in the recent proposed sewer bond election in the town of Nogales-the individual property of women is denied such voice. To be qualified elector in such an election one must be a qualified elect0r for general election, and his name must be upon the tax roll. A man who pays thirty cents tax upon little jlg of household furniture can vote to fix tax that in the end will amount to hundreds of dollars upon the valuable home stead of a woman, that homestead worth thousands of dollars; and that woman is powerless to nulliiy such a vote by casting her own ballot.
 So woman must abide by the law-must pay the extreme penalty where she transgresses the law; if she has property she must pay her share toward framing the law and the administration thereof: but she is permitted no voice in it's fram. ing. Where is the justice in that state of affairs2 Under the jaw she is subject to it's pains and pen. alties, and she is taxed for it's main tenance, yet in shaping that law she has no representation. It was because of such injustice that our forefathers fought the Revolution.

be cut to fifty miles. It would not cost much money to connect No. gales and Altar with a first class road over which the two towns would be not more than four hours apart by automobile, and from Altar to the various gold fields there are in use already good roads.
 The boom which is coming in the Altar district through exploitation of the long neglected placers, can be made to benefit Nogales greatly. To realize the best and most jesir- able results a direct road is d prime necessity. THE OASIS hopes the business men of the two cities will get together and provide such a road in the shortest time possible.

"CANNED telegrams" and lem balmed press despatches" are the burden of a long article in the Phoenix Republican leveled at local contemporary which the Re publican accuses of faking goodly portion of it's telegraph news. It is done by clipping from Eastern papers accounts of interesting events that occurred several days ago, putting date lines to them and publishing them as fresh telegrams. By that method the columns of the newspaper following the practice are filled daily with readable "tele- graphic" news, and there is saved a great expense for telegraphic ser vice. And what is the difference2 Save the doings in Congress and an occasional railway or steamship disaster the bulk of the telegraphic service in the daily newspapers consists mainly of accounts of oc- currences that really are of no i'm portance 100 miles away, and to the ordinary reader they are just as interesting today as though they had just happened, as alleged, in- stead of a week ago

BUILD A DIRECT ROAD TO ALTAR.

In another column an Altar cor respondent of THE OASIS relates the revolution that has been wrought by the Quenner dry pro- cess machine, a recent invention the first working model of which was made in Nogales about year ago, in recovering from the im- mense c0liche deposits of that dis trict the golden treasures locked within their tenacious substance, extraction of which treasure in appreciable quantities or propor- ton has de6ed heretofore every effort of man, and the rush that is taking place to those placers, of which there are millions of acres of aurferous earth which may be utilized now with the use of the Quenner machine.
 The same correspondent states that last week Mir. Harry Karnes, who conducts at Nogales public automobile line, made the trip from Nogales to Altar, with a party of prospectors in nine hours. The route taken followed probably the line of the Sonora railway to Mag dalena, thence to Altar via Tubu- tama a distance of about 100 miles. The route via Santa Ana, ten miles south from Magdalena, thence to Altar direct is better for travel, perhaps, but about fifteen miles longer.
 But by direct route, via Las Planchas de Plata which can be utilized by construction of not more than three or four miles of road beyond the Arizona ranche, Altar can be placed within sixty miles of Nogales, and by making another cutoff between Nogales and Destiladero the distance may

LITIGATION OVER THE U. S. ZINC
 SCHEDULE.

The American Smelling and Refining Company through it's subsidiary, the Consolidated Kansas City Smelling and Refining Company, has brought an action before the hoard of U. $. General Appraisers for the determination of the legality of paragraphs lSl and l93 of the Payne-Aldrich tariff, under which the Treasury Department is collecting duty upon the zinc contents of lead or 8. In a statement given out March 1 the attorneys for the plaintiff say:
 "We claim broadly that the Treasury Department has no right to asses duty on the same merchandise under two entirely different paragraphs of the act of l9C9. The government must elect which one of the two provisions duty is to he taken under. If the act provided for the assessment of duty on lead on the one hand, and again for the assess ment of duty on zinc, this issue would not arise. But the law has specific llly provid d for the imposition of separate duties on these two commodities. We claim that the ore cannot be lead bearing ore and zinc caring ore at the same time. It must b, one clas sification or the other. ."-Chihuahua Enterprise
 It Is remarkable how the trusts and combinations of capital that can afford to go to law will twist and distort the meaning of the law to evade payment into the public treasury of their just dues. And 1t is remarkable also how courts will sit complacently and permit the trust lawyers to do so. It is true that the courts have not ruled as yet upon the contention set forth above of the metal trust; but that they will do so when the time comes there seems no doubt.
 What has becone of that old principle of law that in construing the meaning of a statute the rule to be followed is to ascertain the intent of the legislature in framing the law? Were that the rale no such question could be raised as the one that has now arisen over the zinc section of the metal schedule of the recent tariff act. In framing that schedule the intent of Congress was that all zinc inn ported, whether extracted or in crude ores, shall pay duty, The same act provides that lead, whether crude or manufactured,

WOMAN AND THE Law.

Recently woman was electro cuted legally in the state of New York. Every effort was made to induce the executive to pardon her or to commute her sentence on &C., count of her womanhood. But to all appeals, entreaties and solicita- tions Governor Hughes turned a deaf ear, declaring that as the woman had been convicted duly of transgression of the law, and had been sentenced accordingly she must suffer. At the time of her trial the woman was pregnant, so to avoid taking two lives as a pen. alty for one the time for execution of her sentence was deferred six months after birth of her child, when he might be weaned and have goodly chance for life without his mother.
 When Roosevelt was governor of the same state another woman was made to suffer the extreme penalty of the law, and for the same crime. Like in the later case a large body of sentimentalists throughout the state exerted every effort and en- deavor in an ineffective attempt at securing executive clemency. But the inexorable fiat was that as the woman had transgressed the law, and was responsible to the law she should pay the penalty of the law and she did.
 In every state of the American Union, in every county, every municipality there are women who own property of all kinds. That property is taxed to support the government, and men who have not one dollars worth of property, save the clothing they wear, poor and scanty at that, hardly covering their nakedness, have an equal voice in framing the laws under which are taxed the property of intelligent, industrious, thrifty women, while those same women are denied any voice in framing those self same laws. Even where the law aims to give property a

The Earliest Lotteries.

The lotteries are generally said
to have had their origin in Italy,
bst in Grove and Cavalcaselle's
"Barly Flemish Painters" reference
is made to a lottery drawn at
Bruges on Feb. "A, 1446 (1445 old
style). This is the earliest of
which the scheme, list of prizes
and accounts are known to be in
existence. In 1880 a lottery was
drawn in Florence, the object being
to meet the state expenses. Nine
years afterward they were legalized
in France by Francis l. and called
"blanques." The lotteries instituted
at Paris by the Duke d'Invernois
in 1872 and 1878 were for provid-
ing marriage portions for the young
women belonging to his estate.
The first lottery known in Eng
land was drawn at the west door of
st. Paul's cathedral in 1869. The
amount was 100000, which in those
days was very considerable. 1t con-
sisted of 100000 tickets at 10 shil-
lings each, and the profits of the
speculation were to be appropriated
TO the repair of the harbors of the
kingdom.

the fact that only 81 people, includ-
ing men, women, and children, out
of population of l,340, attended
church on recent Sunday by actual
count. 1t required five services in
three churchs with two pastors to
get out even this number. The
town has Methodist and Congre-
gational pastors. Supposing the

The HALEY Comet

Halley's comet, during the month
of April, will rise in the early morn
ing before sunrise. On the lst it
precedes the sun by 43 minutes
only, and therefore, is lost in the
twilight On the 18th it rises l hour
20 minutes before the sun, and on
the Both, two hours eight minutes.
1t will, therefore, come into view
about the middle of the month and
be in still better position as the
month closes. May, however, is
the month in which the comet will
be best seen. In April it will not
be conspicuous, but it can be seen
without telescope in the last fort
night of the month.
1t is nearly stationary among the
stars of the constellation Pisces dur
ing this period. 1t should be look
ed for about 4 a. M, on the 18th
and 3 to $50 a. IN. on the Both,
above the sunrise point On the
S0th it will be about 10 degrees
north of the brilliant planet Venus
The path followed by this comet
is known with considerable accuracy,
and its varying positions as viewed
from the earth, can be predicted
with certainty. 1t will rise before
the sun until May Is, reaching its
greatest apparent distance, AZ de-
grees, on May 6, when it will rise
two hours, Is minutes before the
sun or at 2.20 a. m. After May 6
1t draws near the sun rapidly, pass
