AN UHNARaaNreo CHANGE.

The plan of the secretary of the treasury to reduce the size of the bank notes and greenbacks Is one that does not meet with approval anywhere. Bankers are not pleastd q with the idea at all. They declare ii adopted the idea will mean more work, care and annoyance to them until all the present money has passed out of circulation. Anyone who has done business in Mexico where some of the banks issue notes of the size proposed, can testify to the inconvenience and annoyance caused in counting lot of bank bills with notes of the smaller size scattered through the package. And to count lot of the small notes with an occasional one of the larger size would be worse yet. Confusion and delay will be the inevitable result, with mistakes and losses.
 Congress has not yet authorized the proposed change, which has been recommended by a committee of treasury employees appointed to investigate the advisability of re ducing the size of bills. The advan.

 The people of Cochise county and the denizens of Benson partic- ularly ought to awaken and see that the Industrial School is placed upon such a basis Gas it can be read .ily), that such criticisms as that made the text of this article, can n It be leveled at their only terri iriaI institution. The School is a great benefit to Benson and Cochise county, and the people of neither would like to lose it. With the one ohj -ction noted, which can be removed readily, as demonstrated in this article, Benson is the best and most natural place in Arizona for the institution the subject of this article. The climate is ideal, the location healthy, the environ ment attractive and the situation central. Three railways center there already, and the projected extension of he Fl Paso & South western down the San Pedro to Phoenix, will put the town in direct connection with all parts of the territory not reached now over ;he roads centering there. In the matter of transportation of those sent to the school from all parts Oi the territory Benson has and will continue to have decided advan- tages over any other point avail able for it's location. The people of Benson and Cochise county should awaken to the influences operating against them and take steps to circumvent their aim.

tages of the proposed reduction, the committee alleges, would be in convenience in handling and in the annual saving of half a million dollars to the govern ment in paper and engraving.
 Economy in paper and engrav, ing seems to be the chief reason advanced for the proposed change. Only four bills of the size now in use can be cut from sheet of gov. ernment's bill paper. But if the proposed change is made five bills can be cut to the sheet. This would mean a big saving to the government in paper, as we'll as in engraving, which would be less with the smaller bills.
 While economy in the treasury department is all very well, the proposed change would not work economy in the marts of trade, The loss to the business public would be far greater than the say. ing in the treasury department, It is to be hoped that Congress will not approve the proposition

THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.

Tn the grounds out beyond the laun- dry and stables is where they have d plot for isrming, but nothing is done here for lack of wAter.-Bisbee Review
 The foregoing is an excerpt from @ correspondence to the Review, and is a very insignificant para graph in an article that on the wh ,le is very laudatory of the school and its management.
 But the point to this article is that such assertions as the forego- ing are hoated constantly through the territorial press; and to THE OASIS the frequent recurrence of such items seems in line with persistent propaganda that seems in hand to compass a removal of the Arizona Industrial school to some other county than Cochise. Why the Cochise county news papers should allow to pass un- challenged such assertions passes the ken of THE OASIS. The Pros- pector fiaunts at it's head the slogan "Cochise County First--the Rest  of the World Afterward;" yet it hts allowed to pass unnoticel fre- quent derogatory allusions to the Industrial school, all aimed at de- priving Cochi.e county of that i'm p)rtant public institution. Benson has two very good newspape that take laudable pride in their town and contribute all they can toward its advancement; yet they heed not insidious attacks like the foregoing upon one of their chief institutions. The Review and other Bisbee and  Douglas newspapers are for Cochise county, yet they unwittingly con. tribute such items as the foregoing toward a prospective and serious loss to their county.
 Why do not the Cochise county newspapers devote some attention to this important matter, and show which they may easily, that the criticisms levelled at the site O the Industrial School are not wei founded from the very reason tha the cause may be removed very

acre tract of land that braces the site of the Industrial School Is susceptible to the highest cultiva- ion and tbe water for irrigation is ri 5ht on the ground-or within irty feet of it's surface. A six inlh we'll has been drilled to depth of several hundred feet, and the water therein rises to a point in the we'll about thirty feet from the collar of the pipe. That well penetrates and taps the same arte- sim stratum from which the wells of the Southern Pacific Company, down by the river draw a supply of 25C,000 gallons daily, flowing above the surface there, which is some forty or fifty fec below the level of the surface upon the In dustrial School ground; and from which several good garden ranches down upon the river draw abundant supplies for irrigation and raising Urge and profitable crops by use of similar wells.
 The town supply comes from we'll sunk to the same stratum by the owners of the system, and it draws therefrom about 5000 gall Ions daily. In fact every indica- tion gives to show that the stratum from which comes all this water is practically inexhaustible.
 A 12 to 16 h. p. gasoline engine coupled to any good irrigation pump installed at the we'll at the Industrial School would supply all the water necessary to irrigate and cultivate the entire forty acres; and with the labor of the boys the garden truck that would be raised, which could find ready markets at Tucson, Benson, Bisbee, Douglas and Nogales, would supply large fund toward support of the school, without taking into consideration the complete supply the school would realize of all sorts of garden truck and vegetables What would be consumed hy the school would be a smlll part of the crop, and the surplus could be solI each sea. son for handsome sum of money Why the Benson newspapers have not seen this opportunity and in sisted upon its adoption is some thing THE OASIS cannot fathom.

"Old Charley" one of the largest
elephants in captivity, died here Mon
day morning at the winter quarters of
it's owner, Col Hall, the veteran show
man. The elephant had been ailing for
some time and had given his keepers a
great deal of trouble. He showed a
tendency to be vicious early in the
spring, and in March the attendant be-
came afraid of him. Mr. Hall then sent
to New York for Captain Dabo, his old
keeper, but he met with no better sue
cess in handling him than others, for
notwithstanding that he used great
precaution, the elephant turned on him
and threw him against wall, and while
he escaped with no broken bones, he
was considerably bruised. The animal
had always shown great objection for
Mrs Frank Longbotham, better known
as Mable Hall, and she had always been
able to handle him with the greatest
ease, and for a while she was the only
one who dared go near him, but of late
he seemed to have even forgotten her
and it was serious task to feed and
water him as no one dared go within
his reach. cold Charley" was one of
the Lochart elephants and was brought
to this country from Africa by Mr.
Lochart about twenty years ago. Col
Hall purchased the elephant from the
Ringing Brothers ten years ago and
since that time he has always been
quiet and peaceable until now. He is
thought to be about SO years old and
was worth several thousand dollars. He
weighed six and half tons or thirteen
thousand pounds. His tusks are valued
at $500, and the hide has been remov-
ed and will probably be mounted. Prep
aratiOnS for his burial have been OOinor
on and he will be inferred on the
grounds as near where he died as pos
sible, on account of his great weight.
1t will take a ten-foot trench to hold
the carcass.
