NocALES NOTES.

TIE OASIS is in receipt of an in- vitation to the carnival balls to be given at Hermosillo tomorrow and Tuesday evenings, February 18th and 20th. The first will be a full dress ball, and the other a fancy dress function. They are to be in the great reception salon in in the Palace of Government.
 There was in Nogales two or three days this week Reverend R. Gregory, a priest of the Greek Church from Asia Minor, who was making a collection for schools and colleges in Armenia. The gen. tleman bore credentials from Gov ernor Sloan, and seemed to be do- ing very we'll in the way of sub scriptions.
 Tuesday MT. A. Dumbauld with drew the contest he had filed in the district court for the office of clerk of the Superior Court, so there will but one case in contest to be heard next week, that of Chenoweth vs. Earhart, for County Treasurer, which will be the first to be tried in the new Superior Court. As Judge Duffy is disqual- flied to hear that, it is likely that Judge Cooper from Pima County, or Judge Sutter from Cochise, will come to hear it.

fore inauguration day. In the meantime all of the county officials elected had received their certif- cates and had been given time amply sufficient to execute their bonds and have them ready for official approval. The governor of the territory had been given time to get everything in readiness for the transfer for authority; and on the day of inauguration each new official stepped into his place with out the ridiculous and amusing contretemps which have taken place this week in every county in Arizona.

WERE you ever in the stock yards of a great city at feeding time every day, when they open a gate and let the drove of hogs in the pens out into the feeding pens where they can get to the swill troughs2 We'll, if you have seen that sight you can appreciate the spectacle at Phoenix Wednesday when the whistle announced that the President had signed the pro- clation that made Arizona a state, and the hungry horde of democrats who had been elected to state of- fees rushed out to the capital to get to the feed trough. Like the hogs in the stockyards they fell over one another in getting to the swill.

MADE RIDICULOUS.

In their haste to assume the power of public place the new state officials of Arizona have shed cer- tainly upon all Arizona and all Arizonans a flood of ridicule that fills with amusement all who have a turn for humor, and with chagrin all who have a fit sense of the eternal verities. It is a remarkable state of affairs in which men can deliver over the books and archives of important offices to men who have been elected to other offices simply upon telegram, or, as was expected here in Santa Cruz county, on Wednesday, upon the sound of a whistle. It is true that all off, cials holding under the Territory of Arizona expected and were pre-  pared to turn over their offices to the state and county officers under the state upon promulgation of the Presidential proclamation. But the fixing of the executive signature to the proclamation was not com- plete and final promulgation by a great deal. That act is not accom- plished until there is received at Phoenix an official copy of the proclamation, signed by the Presi- dent, attested by the Secretary of State, and bearing the great seal of the United States A telegram from Washington stating that these acts have taken place is not au- thentic, and Governor Sloan and
 Secretary Young had no more right to deliver over the government to Governor-elect Hunt and Secretary of State Osborn, than would a gar nishee of money have a right to turn over the funds in his hands
 belonging to another upon a tele- gram from the county seat inform. ing him that such a writ had issued. Anyone attempting to get the money in such way would be sent quickly about his business.

Fnoenlx Wednesuay. upon receipt of telegram from Washington that the President had signed the instrument proclaiming Arizona as a state, the Justices of the Supreme Court, Governor-elect Hunt, and the other state officers elected in December, repaired to the capital and were sworn in, talk ing charge at once of their respec
 tive offices. That was simple; but how about the county officials? A like condition as prevailed in Santa Cruz county was existing without doubt in all the other counties. Tuesday evening the officers.elect received their certificates of elec- tion. Wednesday morning, when the whistle blew, they commenced preparing and executing bonds and taking the oath of office. Yet official notice that Arizona was state was lacking. The blast of a steam siren is not such notice. And there arose at once the ques- tion whether the officers elected were qualified properly. The trans fer from the county officers under the territory to the like officials under the state was matter en- tirely different from transfer from one set to another under the terri tory. In the first place there was a change in the offices. In some cases old offices were abolished or merged into others created under the constitution of the state. As an Instance the office ot probate judge was abolished and the office was merged into the newly created judge of the superior court. The officers under the territory have to qualify by taking an oath before the probate judge. But there arose question whether the official whose office had expired with pro- mitigation of the state had the power to administer the. oath Then there arose another question as to the approval of bonds of the new officials. The law said they should be approved by the board of supervisors. Did that mean under the approval of the outgoing board or the incoming board2
 In New Mexico, last month, the. procedure was much more digni- fed, and everything was arranged decently and in order. Instead of rushing to the capital in hot haste and being inducted into office im- mediately upon telegraphic notice that the President had signed the proclamation Governor Mcdonald and the state officers there awaited nine days. The proclamation was promulgated by the President on the sixth day of January. The official copy, with the great seal of the United States must have reached Santa Fe several days be-

Another Change in Weather

Saturday the weather was cloudy
and misting rain continued
throughout the day. While the
day was disagreeable one, it
was not'upcomfortably cool, and
one familiar with weather con.
ditions at this season OF the
year, would not have thobght
the day an unusual one. To-
ward evening the temperature
fell a few degrees, but still there
we're no indications of a storm.
About midnight the tempera-
ture fell several degrees, the
rain turned to snow, and the
direction of the wind changed
from north to northeast, and a
binding snow storm. the worst
old settlers say, in many years,
ragged the remainder of Satur-
day night and all day Sunday.
By Sunday night there were
drifts everywhere to be seen,
ranging in depth from three tc
fifteen feet.
The cuts both east and west
of Meade were filled with snow,
and no trains have arrived since
No. 33 Saturday night. A snow
plow was started from Bucklin
as soon as possible after the
storm. The track was cleared
as far as Meade by Wednesday
morning. A breakdown made
it necessary to return the plow
to Pratt for repairs. When we
will have mail train is hard to
say. At this time [Wednes-
day night it is again showing.

Within twelve hours after the
snow stopped falling, the side
walks in the business section of
our city we're cleared, which
speaks well for our merchants.
The prompt removal of the snow
from the sidewalks also removes
the danger of slipping on icy
walks, caused from snow thaw-

The SILENT Vote.

The census bureau in a statement re-
Gently given out says that there were
in the United States in 1910, &c, 999, Isl
males of voting age; and of this total
Csc per cent are native whites, 24.6
per zen foreign born whites, 81 per
cent negroes. Only 56.3 per cent of
the foreign-born are naturalized citi-
zens. Hence, from the total number
of males of voting age we should de-
duct about four millions, giving a yot-
ing population of approximately twenty
three millions. The estimates as the
probable vote of the nation this presi-
Dental year place the figures at a little
more than fifteen millions, or about 60
per cent of the total voting strength of
the country. Taking into account the
fact that many negroes are disfran-
chised, and that in some states there
is not sufficient opposition to the domi-
nant party to bring out a full vote,
there are in each presidential election
at least five million voters, in states
where the result is uncertain, who have
not taken the trouble to go to the polls.
The candidate for president who can
poll this year sever and one-half mill
ion votes, or one-third of the total, will
win.

Appropriations for Health.

The counties of Amite and Forrest
each have appropriated 5000 recently to
conduct ~dispensaries for the treatment
of hookworm disease. A represent
alive of the state board of health will
be sent to each of these counties to
conduct an educational campaign TO
improve the sanitary conditions of the
people and conduct these dispensaries.
Hundreds and thousands of people in
the state have been benefited during
the past year by this work. and it is
the purpose of the state board of health
to send representatives of the board to
every county in the state as the oppor-
tunity is afforded, to remain from one
to two months investigating and i'm
proving the sanitary condition of the
people. 1t is the opinion of the people
in the counties where this work has
been done that it is invaluable, and
many of them express themselves in
personal letters to the effect that this
work has been of untold benefit to hun
dreds and thousands of people.
During the past year the representa-
tives of the state board of health have
treated 10000 people for hookworm
disease. This work has bee done thru
the cooperation of thh boards of SUI
pervisors of the different counties, and
as the board of health supplies a capa-
BILE physician for this work and pays
his expenses, it is certainly a good bus
mess proposition for the board of su-
peryisors to appropriate the sum of
from 5000 to $500 in obtaining this
work in the county,
