Assaria, Kan, Dec. 10.-Smut on
cornstalks continues to kill cattle in
Saline county. Up to this time the
death of over forty head of cattle
from this source has been reported
in the vicinity and there probably are
many deaths which have not been re-

county. 1t is believed that the loss
to cattle from smut on the cornstalks
will go into many thousands before
the season is over.

crimes can be perpetrated and 20 unpunished, then is organized society standing upon the covered crater of a tremendous volcano that may explode at any time to spread desolation and ruin. To prevent such occurrences is one of the problems of government. No matter what the causes, what in. t1uences are responsible, the DO. pular demand is that such things shall not be: The perpetrators of the great crime at Los Angeles should be ferretted out and every last one of them swept from the face of the Earth, at whatever cost.

THE BOARD oF TRADE.

The reports presented at the an. nual meeting of the Nogales X Santa Cruz County Board of Trade, Tuesday, which are given space elsewhere, are commended to the business men of Nogales. They show that the outgoing directors and ofh- cers have wrought conscientiously, faithfully and earnestly for the ad- vancement of Nogales and Santa Cruz county, and that great deal of good has been accomplished.
 The new board of directors and and it's officers are worthy in every way of the cordial support-moral material and finaacial-of every business man in Nogales, and THE OASIS bespeaks that it be given.
 In this connection it is not amiss to call attention to the fact that the support accorded the organiza- ton is not what it should be, Many business houses dole out a small monthly pittance, others give nothing, and their houses never send a representative to the meetings. At this time lack oI both time and space forbid giving the topic the attention it deserves
