NOT SO BAD FOR POOR Lo.

Forty-one sections Of the choicest land
in the Rosebud drawing, it seems. must
be reserved for the Indians. Upon that
those who draw quarter sections may
not trench. They are to get their land
after Poor Lo. Not near as bad as some
who have recently subscribed TO the de-
mand for freeing the Indian from the
governments overcharge imply or seem
to think. This comes about of course
in the ordinary process of rules govern
ing the distribution of the land, but that
does not lessen the Significance of the
governments care for the Indian as its
ward
This reservation of the choicest Il sec
lions out of a tract of So. 900 acres cuts
down the area to be distributed to about
one-half, and will necessarily create a
great deal of dissatisfaction and disap-
pointment; and yet some of those who
drew the late numbers probably are fig
uring that. after all, they may profit BY
the shift, for many who had drawn high
numbers will now abandon the whole
thing and not go near the land to exer-
else their right. But it does seem to inn
pose something of a hardship upon those
who went to file. not to have made
known this fact of reserving the Indian
land Northumberland Bee.

described offhand as a string of celons all the way around. With the change in the monetary system the milling was altered, and all pesos coined since that time have the same milling as have the United States coins, a succession of symmetrical grooves clear across lhe edge. The peso with the old style of milling is rejected.
 Oi course the rejection of these coins has drawn upon the Mexican government a great deal of criti- ciSm fur rejecting its own coinage" But nothing else can be done. To accept and exchange for gold but a small part of the vast exportation of pesos which have gone to the Orient and now has commenced returning, would bankrupt the treasury of the strongest nation. Even the treasury of the United States or of Great Britain would go broke to attempt such an undertaking.

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA.

If there be any public institution in Arizona in which the people of the coming state should take pride, it is their university, established
 by an act of the territorial legisla- ture, and given liberal support by each succeeding legislative body. The people of Arizona do not ap- Preciate how much has been done in development at Tucson of a really valuable educational insti- tuition, or there would be far larger attendance. The various departments are in charge of care- full and competent instructors, who take real interest in their work, and aim constantly at giving ex- cellent service and advancing the interests and standing of the insti- tuition in which they take so much pride They have laid the founda- ton for a great educational insti- tuition, which the University will become with the growth and ad- Vancenent of Arizona. The new president, Doctor A. H. Wilde, is planning to build upon the founda- tion provided, and has projected methods for calling the attention of the people of Arizona to their own university and the value it is and can and will be made to them.
 The building of great university is a slow process, yet when one who is familiar with their history looks back upon the growth of some of the great state universities, and surveys what has been done within the span of lifetime, it seems not so slow after all. The writer can recollect when the first structure in the University of Wis consin was erected. And in the same period of time it had ad- vanced no farther than has the University of Arizona today. Yet Wisconsin is one of the great uni versailles of the world, gives instruc- tion annually to several thousand

students, and it's special courses in agriculture, horticulture and stock raising are estimated to have added millions of dollars to taxable values of property in the state. Each legislature appropriates liber- ally if not lavishly in it's support; yet there is not citizen nor taxpayer in the state who does not realize that for every dollar ex. pended there Is a return more than one hundred fold. In Arizona there has been laid foundation for just such a great educational institution. To meet the differing conditions it may work differ ence in details; but there Is the work for it to du; and it is 10 b. hoped that the people of Arizona will recognize the fact and see that their lawmakers give the University of Arizona that support which will make it fill well in this field as great a scope and useful ness as has the University of Wis consin done in its own state.
 In mentioning Wisconsin THE OASIS has no intention nor desire to disparage the other great educa- tional institutions of other states. Michigan, Missouri, Virginia, Ohio, California, and many other states have founded and developed great state universities that have done colossal work in the development of their states and the education and elevation of their people. In all these states, and many others that can be enumerated, the people take great pride in the work of their universities. Let Arizonans emu late those older states aud develop the University of Arizona so that | in due time it will rank with the best.
 Recently THE OASIS saw criti- cism of the plan to enlarge and develop the scope of the institution at Tucson, and with a sheer the newspaper making it dismissed the subject with the assertion that students should be provided first. Give the school the right kind of a standing and students will flock there. Already it is we'll equipped and doing good work. The first duty ofthe Arizona press is to in. form cAEizonans of the realRexcel' lence of their school and urge them to patronize it.

UNcURRENr PESOS.

W nen tne government OI MEXICO established the gold basis in its monetary system it made the peso. or Mexican dollar equivalent in gold value to an American half dollar, the ten peso coin being about equal in weight and ineness to the five dollar piece coined in the hints of the United States. That made the silver pesos worth about their face value in gold, with bar silver at certain level in the mar. ket. But when silver falls below certain figure the metal in the peso Is worth great deal less. Of course the plan WAS to back the silver coinage with gold, as does the United States. But there was to be taken into account the immense volume of Mexican dollars that had been exported. With silver below fifty cents (American) per ounce there would be profit in returning them to Mexico and ex
 changing them at the mint for gold coins; and lhe tremendous quantity that have been exported to the Orient in times past has been such that the tremendous importation would bankrupt the federal treas ury in a short time, withdraw all gold from circulation, and again reduce tEe country to 8 silver monetary basis. To prevent that return of pesos once exported was prohibited. Any sum more than five pesos that anyone attempted to take into Mexico was subject to siezure and conf5 cation. IL was believed tbat plan would meet the situation. The price of bar silver has been so low a long time that there has been great profit in smuggling the prohibited coins into Mexico and putting them into circulation. In the Orient they can be bought at their actual value Tn silver, and when once within the republic they passed current with other peSos, raising their ex. Changeable value to that of the gold coinage. The result, has been that many Pesos coiped in the last century, before the gold standard was established, have found their way back into Mexico. As a mat. ter of self protection the govern ment has refused to recognize all such coins, and the banks refuse to accept them. Not only the banks but all the business houses are do. ing so; and if one gets one of the prohibited pesos he is apt to find il worthless on his hands.
 Before adopting the gold standard the peso coined bore upon it's edge peculiar milling that may be
