changed, however, and the sudden
appearance of a guest not specially
invited means bit of uneasiness as
to the state of the refrigerator and

other thing intended for physical up

The Drouth Broken.

At last the protracted drought from which Southern Arizona has suffered so long and so severely is broken, the rainy season has set in, and in such way that it is an- ticipated that there will be copi- ous and abundant precipitation. Wednesday evening there was slight shower that wet the ground a little; and yesterday afternoon there followed a steady drizzling rain which lasted at intervals until this morning, soaking the ground to a depth of several inches, and starting vegetation finely. Today the sky is overcast with clouds, and there is every indication that there will be more rain before the storm ceases. Everyone feels re- lieved and greatly so. Matters were getting serious.

Senate with some slight amend. ment. A proposition to eliminate completely from the Arizona constitution the recall of the judi ciary was voted down. Saturday the Arizona newspapers were wired by their correspondents that the report of the committee would go to the Senate Monday. But the Albuquerque and El Paso news papers were informed by their cor respondents that Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan, chair man of the committee, had said he would report the resolution "when he got around to it," Which he has not done yet.
 Now there has come a report published in the Tucson Star of Thursday, telegram from Wash ington stating that the whole state- hood matter will go over, and will receive no further attention at this special session of Congress, and that the whole question will go over to the regular session. The same issue of the Star contained a telegram from Prescott to the effect that Leroy Anderson, a prominent attorney in that city, who had been before the Senate committee on territories had returned home dis heartened at the outlook forstate- hood.
 Now will someone arise and ex- plain why so much prevarication and misrepresentation in this inn portant matter on the part of the Arizona newspapers? Why cannot the truth be given? What is the use of the palpable deception that is perpetrated constantly?

Death of Mr. Isaac D. Smith.

THE OASIS is in receip. of a lette, from MT. w. A. Smith, in Los An. geles, California, announcing the death of his father, Mir. Isaac D. Smith, in that city on the 26th ult.. and burial of the remains on the day following. Mir. Smith was we'll and widely known in Arizona and Sonora, having come to the South. west shortly after the Civil War. in which he served creditably in the Signal Corps in the Army of the Potomac, in it's operations against the Confederate armies defending Richmond, the capital Of the Confectionery. In after years he was engaged in Sonora, his latest employment having been as superintendent of the Prietas Wa. ter Works, at La Colorado. Mr. Smith, who was seventy-two years of age, had been in feeble health for some time, and hls last illness was of several months duration.

EXPLANATION NEEDED.

Surely the people of Arizona have reason to complain at the way the leading newspapers of the territory distort and misrepresent the situation at Washington with regard to the statehood measure. There was case in instance within the last two weeks. The Senate committee on territories was to hold a meeting June 16 to consider the Flood resolution which had passed the House. Every day cer- tain newspapers assured their readers that the resolution would be reported out of committee inn mediately.
 Upon that day the committee met, heard an argument by Mark Smith, and continued the meeting until Saturday. On Saturday postpone ment was taken until Friday, June 23d. Following THE OASIS presents the accounts appearing in the Ari- Zona newspapers;

He said he represented 2,800 farmers in the Salt River valley, and that neither they nor any one else of the hundreds of Ari- zonans he had talked with were dissatis- fled with the Flood resolution.
 The committee has adjourned until next Friday. The indications are that favorable action on the resolution will be reported to the Senate week from next Monday.

HANLEY HAS A
DIFFICULT TASK

Bismarck, n. D., Jan. Ito those
who do not WELD the gavel the DISPOSE
ton of the numerous committees OF
the house seems an easy task. But to
Speaker Hanley the job is an arduous
one and already he has found that the
proposition is a big undertaking. From
the fact that he presides over the larg
er body of the two legislative houses,
he finds himself more in demand than
any other man in the capital While
Lieutenant Governor Burdick has forty
committees to look after in the senate,
he has an advisory committee to assist
| him in making the appointments, and
not quite half as many men to choose
| from. Scattering the appointments
among 104 men, over seventy Of whom
are new members, is difficult for the
| new speaker, who has yet to learn and
consider the adaptability of his new
appointees.
Places on the house committees are
rumored to be at premium, and
Speaker Hanley is besieged by numer-
Gus delegations who are constantly
waiting ON him In behalf of certain
influential members who are after the
choice appointments. From the fact
that he Is looked upon as an insurgent,
it was at first believed that all the
places would go to the prominent lead
ers of that faction. However, 1T must
be stated, in fairness to the new
speaker that the distribution of the
various chairmanships will probably be
very equal 1t is reported that num-
some of the most desirable appoint
ments which many of the insurgents
are known to have been clamoring for.
The appointment of Rep William j.
Price of Fargo, for the Craftsmanship
Of the house committee on state af-
fairs seems an absolute certainty. Mr..
Price held the Craftsmanship of that
committee two years ago and is known
to be thoroughly familiar with the gen.
eral work devolving upon the commit
tee this year. His selection, as stated
in The Forum earlier this week. is ons
that meets with the general approval
of the house members. When asked
about the matter yesterday afternoon,
Speaker Hanley would not deny that
Mr. Prices chances were good
which was taken as an indication that
his choice is assured.
The speaker IS in hopes of having the
list Of committees completed by next
Tuesday, and the announcement made
in advance Of the opening Of the SEES
sion, so that no time may be lost after
the recess Is over Owing to the fact
that there Is some talk of an early ad-

JAP FUJITA'S VICTIM
Unfortunate Laura 5Ieiseh Taken to
Fergus Falls and Turned Over to
Authorities.

Fergus Falls Journal: Laura
Bleisch, who was instrumental in
sending Harry Fujita, to the North
Dakota state prison for five years, was
brought down from Fargo, Thursday
and the county commissioners here
were asked to take care Of her. She
was taken to the poor farm for the
present and may be sent to the state
school for feeble minded later.
The girls home is in the town of
Bluffton, this county. She was is
years old last spring, and is q cripple,
having curative of the spine. Her
father is said to have beaten her from
time to time, and she finally left
home. She had no idea as to where
to go but thought that one of her sis
ters was i'm Fargo, and a lady who had
taken pity on her furnished her with
money to so there. Arriving in Fargo.
she did not know where to find her
sister. and finally drifted into the re-
sort of a Japanese restaurant keeper
which bore a very unsavory reputa-
ton. She was kept there, and later
on, the Fargo authorities raided the
place. and it was largely on the
strength of her testimony that the Jap
was given a five year sentence for
carrying on a white slave business.
Her father is said to be fairly well
to do in Bluffton and there are nine
children in the family. Stories of
his cruelty have been coming In from
time to time, and the matter is being
investigated
The girl has been in a Fargo charit-
able institution since the trial. and
was brought to this city by Lillian
Grace Topping, the superintendent of
the institution Thursday.
