that have been organized all over
the country and many OF which are,
as has been said, doing an excellent
work within more or less local
sphere. However, the new national
institution is designed to serve as a
clearing house that will pass on all
good roads schemes wherever they
may originate and that will seek to
bring together all the various local
associations, harmonizing their aims
and policies where in the past they
have too often been working at
cross purposes.
The United States government Is
back of this new national organiza'
ton upon which public attention Is
now being focused. Indeed, the
first president of the body is Uncle

namely, Mr.. Logan w. Page, direc-
tor of the United States office OF

1t has been my experience in the wheat
fields that where the highest wages are
paid there also the greatest amount Of
work is demanded. Where the hours Of
labor are from 4 80 in the morning until
$50 at night a city chap can stand the
strain for only one or two days at the
most Kansas pays high wages, but the
hours are long and the board is not always
so extra. For there the farmer does not
feed you, as the harvest hands generally
work for the owners of the thrashing ma
chine and naturally he wants to get as
much work out of you as he can and pay

The bright star in the southern sky is
the planet Jupiter and the one in the west
is Venus. Jupiter is in Libra and Venus
is in Leo, while Saturn is in Aries and can
be seen early in the morning. Mars, in
Aquarius, now rises about midnight and
is a beautiful sight just before daylight.
No man will regret the loss of a few
winks if he gets up to see him. Jupiter's
moons could be seen through good pair
of opera glasses three weeks ago and
probably can be now under favorable at,

Busy Times in Minnesota

Those in charge of digging the state drainage
bitches complain that they cannot keep men be
cause the farmers grab the 1aborers to work in the
harvest fields, says the St. Paul Dispatch. A Min
neapolis with automobile tells how he was
shanghaied by those who wanted a machine in
which to ride to and from their work as burglars
1t would seem though no one is safe in these
busy harvest times.

SMUGGLING OR VIOLATION OF NEu-
 TRaLITY?
Apprehension and Arrest at Bull
 Springs of 2 Bunch Of Msderlstos.


 Monday evening Collector Con O'Ketfe was given information that at Bull Springs, a water hole near the boundary line about seven miles from NngaIes in a north. westerly direction, there was camp. ed A band of armed men having in their pose essi0n d lot of contra band horses, taken from various ranches in Mexico, and brought across the line into the United States without due fOrmality of entry and pay. ment of duty. Early Tuesday morning Collector 0'Keefe des patched in that direction Mounted Inspector Harry A. Smith, who was accompanied by Lieutenant Aleshire shd a detachment from the Sixth United States Cavalry. Reaching Bull Springs there were found eleven men, all armed, with nine contraband horses. They were rounded up, brought into No gales, and the men lodged in jaiI. while the hOrees were turned into Peck'S corral, at the expense of the United States to be held as exhibits in evidence.
 Con O'Keefe went before the United States Commissioner, and swOre out d warrant for he accused, whose names are as follows: San tiago Grande, Juan de Olvera, Alberto Nj. Valdez. Martin A. 'Gonjoro, Juan Molina, Maleadls Paredes, Catarino Sanchez, Arturo Nj. Lopez, AnaStacio Molina and Michael McKenna. The charge alleged in the complaint was un. lawful bringing into the United States of nine horses, in violation of Section 3082 Revised Statutes Cf the United States-smuggling. There was another complaint and warrant of arrest against one R.. dolfO Robles, who was arraigned separately from the rest for reasons best known to the collector of GUS. toms.
 United States Attorney Morrison was notified of the arrests and asked to come to conduct the case at he hearing When the accused men were taken before United States Commissioner Allen Y. Bird Monday afternoon, Mir. Morrison had not replied 80 their arraign. ment was postponed until the fol lowing day Tuesday Mr. Morri son made reply, the accused were arraigned, plead mot guilty" and the hearing continued until yester. day, to await the arrival of Assi-. tant United States Attorney J C..

Mexican Consular Changes.

Recently there have taken place in the consular service of the United States of Mexico a number of changes which are of interest to the readers of HE OAsis. " As mentioned last week Mir. Alfonso L. Jimenez, consul at No. gales, Arizona, has been promoted to the post Ui'9ice consul general at New York. He was expecting to be relieved before now by hiS predecessor Mir. Daniel Montes, rom 7 Mobile, with whoh, Mir. Jim. enez exchanged places in March last. When Mir.

AFTER iE,GHrEEs YEARS.

With the last issue THE OASIS completed the eighteenth year of publication, and this self congra- tulatory article greets the reader in the first number of it's nine. teenth year. Custom has made it incumbent upon news"apers to present upon such anniversaries something self laudatory, with prOgnostications and promises for the future. That custom will be omitted at this time; but the as- sertion is ventured that THE OASIS and those who launched it on the stormy wave of Arizona journalism have every hope and faith that eighteen years hence they will be conducting then this self same newspaper.
 Nowhere beside Arizona can it be said so truthfully of the news paper business that life is not all beer and skittles." During the first dozen years THE OASIS found 1t to be skittles principally, and very little beer It seemed that first one and then another in an almost endless succession were set up to be bowled out by THE OASIS. Very many different people have felt a cal to come up against this outfit in one way or another. All such are much wiser now. The majority of them have had to seek pastures new, while one or two are struggling here to repair fortune shattered through their own folly.
 With the growth of the great re zion tributary to Nogales THE OASIS has grown and prospered. In common with all interests that have built upon the development of the West Coast of Mexico THE OASIS feels now the hard times caused by the present troubles in Mexico; but there is every hope that the difficulties agitaIing now this part of the world will be com posed shortly and the great work will continue of development of

they are insurrectoS not smugglers. So public sympathy took them at their word and was quite severe and sarcastic in commenting upon the arrest for smuggling.
 Friday afternoon the hearing was held by U. ;. Commissioner Allen r. Bird. The court room was filled with a large and very greatly interested audience Assistant United States Attorney Forest appeared for the government and the defendants were defended with ability by their counsel Noon k Barry.
 The witnesses on behalf of the government were Mounted Inpec. tor Harry A. Smith of the customs service, Lieutenant J. P. Aleshire of the Sixth U. 5. Cavalry, P. P. Rebeil and Arturo C0rella. The first two witnesses testified to find. ing and afresting the ten men with the nine contraband horses at Bull Springs, about six miles west of Eogsles and within Santa Cruz county. The other two witnesses testified to having seen the horses after they were brought into No, gales and to lhe brands being Mex. ican. One of the witnesses alleged ownership of two of the animals. Two of he defendants Salvador Grande and Anastasio Molina were sworn and testified in behalf of he defence. They swore that they were not smugglers but Maderistas engaged in campaign against he Dlaz government in Mexico. They had been given the horres at var ious ranches in Mexico, giving al- ways receipts payable by the Ma. dero government. They had stray ed across the llne unwltllngl y with no ttntion of coming into the United States with the animals.
 In summing up Mir. Barry con. tended for the defendants that the intent of the accused should govern, and that they should not be held for the reasoh that intent to de. fraud the revenue had not been proved.
 In ruling the Com missioner de. clined 10 go into the question of intent-that being the province of d jury in lhe district court; and he ordered them held to appear before the grand jury in the United States court at Tombstone, on May 25th.

M'BR|DE ORDERED
TO HOT SPRINGS
Nationals Captain Will Be
lin Charge of Players at
Health Resort.

George Mcbride has been ordered to
Hot Springs for the sole object of giving
his experience in handling the Nationals
on the field. Mcbride always keeps
himself in such excellent cordition that
IL is not necessary for him to have any
long training in teh spring. but Presi-
dent Ncyes believes that in handling
the Hot Sphings squad. the captain of
the Washington club will gain uch that
will be of use to him when 1t comes to
representing McAleer on the field next
summer.
Mcbride. who Is in Milwaukee,, will
leave early next week for the Arkansas
resort, where he will put I'm two weeks
before going to Atlanta, where he will
be the first lieutenant of the manager
of the team.
The sale Of Bob Unglaub to the Lin
coin, Neb., club was consummated yes
terday after much negotiating in which
the ambition of the player to head a
team was taken into consideration by
the owners here. Unglaub. who Is at
present at his home in Williamsport,
Pa, will go to Lincoln at once to con-
suit the officials there relative to OBJ
tanning players TO strengthen the weak
points.
While nothing official is announced. it
Is believed that Uuglaub Is to notify
Jimmy McAleer of any promising play
ers that come under his observation.

Eastern League Asks
Higher Classification

BALTIMORE, Feb. 1.-THE Eastern
League has not framed its demand for
higher classification. In fact, there will
be no demand. but a request.
The magnates do not want war and
they will go before the national COM
mission in a peaceful and business-like
manner.
The national commission will be asked
to put the Eastern Lea Sde on a higher
basis than the Western. California and
Southern leagues. all Of which are now
in Class A. The only league of Glass \
which the Eastern magnates believe on
a par with them is the American asso-
citation. which is clamoring just as much
for higher classification as the Eastern.
Both the Eastern League and the
American Association contend they
should be put in a class known as AA
and allowed TO draft from the Glass A
clubs. II Is the argument of both or
ganizations that they are paying twice
as much in salaries as any of the other
leagues of Class A.
A good player in the Southern, West
ern or California leagues is paid about
500 a month and the Eastern and
American Association are paying as
much as $500 month to their best
players.
The Eastern League does not object
to the major organizations drafting
upon it's clubs and will not touch upon
that point.
The other minor organizations combine
their forty-eight votes against the two
presented by the Eastern League and
the American Association, which keeps
these two constantly in the background.
despite the fact that they are the
strongest and wealthiest.
Even IL the national commission re-
fuses to place the Eastern League on
higher plane there are no dark clouds
of war on the horizon and ii looks now
as If the Eastern will accept gracefully
the decision of the national commission.

HIGH SCHOOL MINES
ARRANGE CONTESTS
Championship Series Plan
ned to Start on Friday,
April II.

A tentative schedule has already
been drawn up for the inter-high
school championship baseball series
for 1911, and 1t is thought that Ma
tional Park will again be the place
where the schools will play for the
spring title.
1t was thought that Union park
would have to be used, but there were
so many objections to that place that
the directors of high school athletics
strove to obtain the old grounds. The
remoteness of Union League park
from all but the Eastern High School
and the poor seating capacity led the
directors to again select National
park.
The board of faculty advisors has
about settled on the dates for the
games. which will probably start FRI
day. April Il, and continue until May
26. The annual competitive drill for
cadet companies has been held early
in the last few years. and the annual
spring track meet has usually been
showed into the first week in June.
This allows the students to settle
down in the last two weeks before
the close of the year, with all inter-
scholastic contests closed.
Little more than light battery prac-
tice is being INDUCED in by the
school teams at present. Tech has had
its battery men ont for about two
weeks, and Central has been at it
about a week. Business has inaugu-
rated it's baseball campaign. and Cap
tain Dodge put his players through
light work Eastern and Western are
combining their attentions to basket
ball and track at present, but expect
TO get the baseball men out in short
order.
The probable schedule is:
Western VS.. Technical, Friday, April
n
Central VS.. Business, Tuesday, April
%.
Eastern vs. Technical, Friday. April 2S.
Western VS.. Business, Friday, May s.
Eastern VS.. Central, Tuesday, May ..
Business VS.. Technical, Friday, May Il.
Western VS.. Central, Tuesday, May 16-
Business VS.. Eastern, Friday, May 19.
Central VS.. Technical, Tuesday, May g.
Western VS.. Eastern, Friday, May rs.
While the ten-game series starts al
most Immediately after the Easter holi-
days, there seems to be no other way to
get the full quota of games in. The last
week in May will probably find the Sc
ries over unless rain causes the sched-
ule to be shifted. This was done last
season and necesitated playing two
games at Union League Park.

. Preparations for the Opening
i. of 1911 Games.

Followers of amateur baseball in
Washington are today immensely pleas
ed with the selection of Robert H.
Young as president of the baseball COM
mission to succeed F. w. Bolgiano, who
was forced to decline denomination for
the place because of the pressure Of
business matters and the delicacy of
his health.
While regretting the withdrawal Of
Mr.. Bolgiano, the members of the COM
mission believe they have a man of ster-
ling worth in Mr.. Young, as is attested
by the unanimous vote cast for him.
The retiring president, reluctant to quit
the commission altogether, consented to
be named vice-president. w. c. Thach-
er was reelected treasurer, and II. V.
Shurtlief was renamed secretary.
Thanks to Retiring President.
Mr.. Young will lbe officially notified of
his election Monday or Tuesday by
committee composed of Messr Herman
Movers, Capt. c. L. Edwards. ana II.
Miller Kenyon. The commission moved
that a vote of thanks be rendered tne
retiring president for the lnValuaole
services he has rendered during MS au-
ministration.

partmental, reported their various or
eanizations to be ready for the opening
of the season.
Few Changes In Leagues.
Contrary to expectation, there will be
few changes in the personnel Of the
leagues. Marquette will cut its teams
down TO six. They will be: Columbia
lOI, Company X, Pension Office, George
town Athletic Club, Columbia Potomac
Tel, and st. Stephens. The grounds
will be in Thirty-siXth street north
west, back Of the Observatory.
II is likely the Olympia League will
come into the association and Secretary
Shurtlief was instrutced to correspond
with President Yep Copp, OF that league,
to determine its inclination.
Pleasing news was brought from the
Bankers League to the effect that
American Security and Trust would
again have a team in the field.
The various lea CUES will be busy hold
ing their spring meetings. at which
time they will reorganize preparatory
to instituting plans for the coming sea-
son. Terminal Y. NJ. c. A. has already

give a smoker next Tuesday Suburban,

meet within the next ten days TO elect

Giant Recruits Start
For Training Grounds

NEW YORK. Feb. IA convincing
proof that baseball is soon to be no
longer a thing of contracts and predic-
tions, but a real sport of base hits and
errors, is furnished today, when the
first section of the Giants left for Mar
lin on the steamer Proteus. The young
Giants are first of all the ball players to
start southwark. In the party are but
three of the team, and these are men
who may not be with the Giants when
PLAY ballI' sounds, but at any rate 1t
is a start. The men are Gowdy, Ru-
dolph, and Fullerton. They are accom-
panied by Lush. who was with the
Giants last year, but who is now a free
agent and purposes to train at Marlin.
c. l.. Hansell. McGraw's personally
conducted umpire, is also in the party.
The party will reach New Orleans on
the 18th, and will leave for Marlin the
same day. arriving on the 18th.
