striking pafalel OF IemlScOt cOun-
ty and Caruthersville is the follow
ing:
Come to think of it, that was pref
ty click piece of strategy on the part of
San BernardinO to hold her election
after those of Cotton and Redlands.
The drys really had more hopes of car
rying San Bernardino than of Cotton
but when this town and Redlands vot-
ed to close up saloons and to stop
drug store license twas all off. The willy
county seat denizens concluded that
was the place to get in their deadly
work SO as to be in position to more
and more draw trade from all the
country round by keeping their
saloons. 1t is up to the other towns
now to show them their mistake.
Cotton can get along without their
booze. At the risk of BerGoo saying
''sour grapes we will Just decide
that we don't care to drink anyway
and stay away.-Colton (Calif.)
Chronicle.
All, yes. After you have cast the
die, it is easy enough to solilOquize.
Hayti soliloquized about four years
ago, and is soliloquizing yet-but just
at this time the shoe is on the other
foot, and it will be the same with Col
ton, california, in few teeting years.
Allow us to remark that San Ber-
nardino county, California, is vastly
different from Pemiscot county, Miss
ouri. That county is about one-third
as lar ge as the entire STATE of Miss
ouri, and San Bernardino is the coun-
ty seat. Just think what vast county?
But Cotton is only three miles from
San Barnardino, with population of
5000 while San Bernardino has 900.
There is an electric line, with car
every 30 minuter, between the two
towns. See the point? Cotton is a
'gone goslin," just like Hayti, and
the next election will see a decided
reaction.

philatply of Aviation.

One of the very few genuine wa
rieties" in stamps is announced. 1t
would be more correct to say it is a
rare postmark. Rare it will be if in
terested parties do not take advan-
tage of the occurrence and have ad-
dressed to themselves thousands of
envelopes bearing the mark. 1t
seems that during the now historic
aviation week at Rheims a temporary
postoffice was set up on the aviation
ground, and all letters there posted
bearing the ordinary French stamps
were postmarked "Betheny-Aviation,"
besides the various service marks.
The marking stamp was heXagonal,
instead of round These stamps will,
no doubt, be curiosities. Time will
tell whether they will be sought after
like the unnecessary Brunei provis-
ionals, which in the aggregate must
have fetched just as high a sum as
the years revenue of the swamp in
which they were issued, - London

Whales Along the Coast

Officers of the steamer Vera, which
arrived to-day from Jamaica, report
that they saw hundreds of whales off
the Massachusetts coast. The fruiter
was off Nauset when Captain Ryn-
ming and the chief officer first sighted
the whales.
To the northward for miles the
whales were disporting in the water.
One Of the officers declared that he
had never seen so many Of them.
They swan along, apparently all
heading northeast. Every little while
one would nose alongside the steamer
and would dive out of sight. The
whales were in full sight until Cape
Cod was ounded.-Boston Tran

EARTH CAN'T GET %.
MESSAGES FROM MARS,
Johns Hopkins Professor Points
to Many Difficulties Surround
ing the Project.

DR., j. A. Anderson, professor OF
astronomy in the Johns Hopkins uni
versity, in giving his views regard
ing the statement made by Professor
William Henry Pickering, Of Har-
ward, that the planet Mars can be
communicated with by a set Of mir
rors, said:
II really do not think that Profes"
sor Pickering's statement has been
received in the light that it was IN
tended As it stands, it is perfectly
plausible, but as for the actnality OF
ever communicating with the planet,
as NJ. Camille Flammarion says, that
Is another question.
1T is highly possible to construct
an arch of sufficient intensity to con-
vey beam of light to Mars. A light
as strong as that of the sun would
carry TO the planet, so that If we can
construct a reflector strong enough
to send sunlight in its original
strength through the heavens, the
problem 50 far viii have been solved.
whether or not there would be
anybody or any form Of life on the
star to signal us back again is an
other question. There is certainly
no evidence now OF any such fact.
While the theory Of the planet being
habitable IS generally accepted,
whether It is inhabited has never
been solved, and at present there are
49,. 4ti 40
at least in the near future.
Surprising the planet is inhabited,
although the concensus of opinion
here is negative, is 1t logical to sup
pose that the Martians would be
ready to take or notice a message
just at a time corresponding to that
when It was sent from the earth? AS
is well known, Mars is practically the
only planet that shows any signs of
being physically habitable, 1t has an
atmosphere of its own, and, more
over, is capable of being studied,
which cannot be said of Venus, which
is even closer to the earth. That
planets face is never seen, being COW
cred with dense clouds. 1t is not
known what the temperature of Mars
may be, or whether or not it would
| support life. Professor Everett Low
ELL director of Lowell Observatory,
has done much work on the study of
Mars, and has reached the conclusion
that It is both habitable and in
habited.
This is a question which may be
solved in the future, but so far as
Professor Pickering's recent state
ment goes, will say again that |
think it has been taken to mean more
than its author intended, exceeding
the scope Of its patent FEASIBILITY"

The Variable Foot.

An investigator in Washington has
recently collected some interesting
facts about the foot, the most widely
used measure of length, in both an
Gent and modern times. 1t is de-
rived from the length of the human
foot, but apparently has varied more
than that portion of the skeleton can
possibly have done in historic times.
The ancient Welsh foot, for in
stance, was nine inches long, whereas
the Piedmont foot was twenty inches.
In modern times we have variations
from the Spanish foot, of less than
eleven inches, to the Venive foot. of
more than thirteen inches. Almost
every country has used a foot meas
ure Of a different length.-Harper's
Weekly.

Cost to Go Still Higher.
That the cost OF living soon will be
greater than ever before, is indicated
by the December report, just issued
by the Bradstreet Company. The re-
port shows that the prices of COM
modities to-day are within a small
fraction of the record.
Up to date the. highest prices ever
known IN this country for commodi-
Ties was March j, 1907, According
to Bradstreet's table of index num-
bers. on December /, this year. the
level stood at S9.1262. On March l.,
| 1907, the level was S9.1293. That
| is, the price of commodities to-day is
within a small fraction of one per
cent. Of the highest record.
Bradstreet's report shows that,
| theoretically, a man going to the
wholesale market place to purchase a
pound Of each of ninety-siX articles
would have had to pay on December
l Of this year about s9.12ss. On
March / last like goods might have
been purchased for nearly ninety-one
cents less, while on December !,
1908, they were cheaper by 91.35
cents. .-
Bradstreets index numbers are the
totals of the prices per pound of nine
ty-six articles, quarterly or monthly
which is used as a standard Of COM

A VERY WIDE DIFFERENCE.

"Our gravest concern today is in the caliber of the men we send to the con- stitutional convention. We should put men in that body who will frame for us a document that will permit the Arizona to govern themselves according to the wishes of the majority. ."-Exchange.
 The foregoing excerpt will apply to almost any kind of men and any kind of fundamental law. It depends entirely upon the point of view. Some men of considerable calibre embrace measures that are considered very radical. And there are other men with equally fine intellectual endowments and at tainments who are very conserva- tive in their ideas about funda- mental laws. Each kind mentioned will insist gravely that such con- stitution as they would frame Twill permit the people of Arizona to govern themselves according to the wishes of the majority" Yet be. tween two such constitutions there would be wide difference. It is very easy to deal in glittering gen eralities; but in doing so nothing of value is accomplished.

A FORTY MILLIoN MORTGAGE

The following article fig from the Tucson Citizen of Saturday last, and it will find many interested readers among those who get THE OASIS:
 "There was lodged with the county recorder here yesterday shortly after the noon hour easily the largest mortgage ever recorded in Pima county, it being one to back up bond issue up to forty million dollars by the Arizona Eastern railroad. The issue means great things for Tucson and the entire territory.
 Style of the document filed is from the Arizona Eastern Rail- road company, the Gila Valley, Globe and Northern Railroad com pany, the Maricopa and Phoenix Railroad company, and the Ari- zona and Colorado Railroad com pany in Arizona, the Arizona and Colorado Railroad company and the Arizona Eastern Railroad com pany in New Mexico, to the Farm ers' Loan and Trust company trustee, of New York City. The bonds are to be due May 1, 1850 and are to draw no more than five per cent per annum. They art redeemable at any time at $100.

to be devoted to construction of the Southern Pacific lines mp the Yaqui river and toward Guadalaj jara. Replying to that inquiry THE OASIS is inclined to the belief that none of the money is to be devoted. to that purpose. The understand. ing of THE OASIS is that there have been filed in the various states of Mexico mortgages upon which are based bond issues to cover con- struction of those roads, and the line toward Guadalajara is being pushed to completion as rapidly as possible with funds derived from, sales of such bonds. Whether any part of the proceeds of such issues are available for further construc. ton along the Yaqui river line is a matter about which THE OASIS is without information.

HORNS LOCKED.

When THE OASIS betrayed the people of Arizona and supported the hateful, iniouitCus joint statehood measure which would make political peons of Arizonans, the Kelly papers were stand ing by and for the rights of Arizona doing what they could to preserve the integrity of Arizona along with all decent democrats and republicans of the territory. THE OASIS says the Kelly papers opposed the bullion mine tax law. The Kelly papers always favored an equitable bullion tax for Arizona, but they did oppose miserable "hold- up" measure introduced into the twenty second legislature by "Sitting Bull' Wilson of Tucson.-Bisbee Review.
 Right there is where THE OASIS will lock horns with the Kelly newspapers always. The Kelly papers never did favor an equitable bullion tax for Arizona, or they would not have opposed the Wilson bill that was introduced into the twenty-second legislature. That was an equitable bill-not hold up, as asserted by the Kelly papers. Upon the other hand the Doran bill, which is now the law, and was supported by the Kelly papers as a sop to outraged public opinion, is unfair, unjust and negotiable in that it taxes just 25% of the right amount. In Mexico such matters are done much more equitably. In that country the full value of the output of a mine is taxed, and al much higher rates than in Arizona
 Moreover THE OASIS is not at al ashamed of the stand it made fol joint statehood. It took that stand in hope of relieving Arizona iron the hateful and iniquitous collar o mining corporations which th' Kelly newspapers have done s' much to forge. Political peonsl' That is just what the Kelly news papers are trying all the time t make the people of Arizona.
 And it does THE OASIS good t see the Kelly outfit squirm unde thegoad applied. The above excerp was drawnby the assertion that an
