NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE.

friend and subscriber of THE OASIS. residing ,i hi1i' taso, has sent to this newspaper a page from an ;nnort'ant metropolitan daily news naper which presents in the guise ot special telegram" from No- oalps a complete reproduction of the first page article in THE OASIS last week descriptive of the inn nortant mineral development going on in santa Cruz county; and the gentleman sending the excerpt was ughteousIy indignant over the appropriation by the newspaper cited of news so important and i'm. tere.ting which TIE OASIS had gone to no little trouble and ex- pense to secure.
 While appreciating the kindly feeling of the gentleman THE OASIS has no hesitancy in assuring him that the case he has detected is not the first one wherein daily newspaper has reproduced bodily as special" entire columns from this newspaper, nor Is the news paper which he singled out for his attention the only offender in that regard. A great deal of the news paper enterprise" in the Great Southwest consists of free use of shears and paste pot, the product presented in the guise of special telegrams," or Special telegraphic correspondence" And, would you believe it? the newspapers so offending are the loudest in the condemnation of those who obtain money under false pretenses, and are most solicitous for a rigid en- iorcement of the pure food laws.

THE SHORT HOMESTEAD BILL.

Congressman Ferguson, of New Mex leo writes friends in his home city of Albuquerque that he is confident of get ting his short homestead bill enacted into law during the present session of congress, and 1t is measure that is of supreme importance to the settlers and homeseekers in this portion of the great Southwest. The bill as it stands is one that gives the actual settler great ad- yantages, 1t is quite liberal and provides as now, that full and complete title to the land and all mineral or other wealth thereon IS given with the patent.
 The main advantages of the new law are that 1t provides for a three-years residence, instead of five, as at present i; that five months absence is allowed the settler in any one year without detri- ment to title or residence qualifications i; that no cultivation is required the first year, and but one-sixteenth of the total area, either in l60 or 300-acre home stead, the second year, and one.eighth ol ., the area the third year. Those now INlhg on homesteads have the option of ANS up uuOlcI bl16 ucW ldW OI Jn0 old' as they prefer The wishes of the secretary of the interior were transgress- eu successfully, and there are no reser- 'auons of either timber or minerals fSin0faced fin in the provisions of the new me present status of the bill is that it T Ges been agreed upon in conference, and GG;onggre.ssman G;. 2 .,.

"JUsT FOR FUN |"

Passing along one of the streets in Tucson Monday or Tuesday, TIE OASIS man glanced into the window of an assay office, and there in big red letters was display ed the legend "Just For Fun" And this editor could not help the reflection that was just why said assayer butted into the newspaper business in Nogales some eight or nine years ago.

BY RUDE Marquard.

HAVE often marvelled over the
fact that even in the heat of a
pennant race, such as the one
in which our club is now engaged,
Manager John j. McGraw, of the
Giants, finds time to give the fu-
ture a good deal of consideration
and to maintain a training school
for the production of baseball
stars for the years to come.
You would think that a man
fighting for a championship would
forget the future-and most man
ayers would; but not McGraw. 1t
is further evidence OF the base
ball genius of the Giant chief that
he can keep in front with one
bunch of ball players and at the
same time build underneath them.
as you might say, second team
to eventually take the place of the
first string.
The average manager bases his
success on picking up men who are
naturally good ball players, and
who only require a little devel-
opment. McGraw needs only the
roughtest material or youth and
speed to form his teams. He is
especially a manufacturer
maker of players From one end
of the season to the other he has
a training school operating in the
midst of his regular bali club, and
he manages to find time to produce
one or two stars a year. even
while the fight for the pennant is
raging.
In what you might call his bench
primary class McGraW now has

Novelties In Engineering.

The visitor with preconceptions of
what modern, great water-power is
like finds that he must revise all his
ideas here The work Is full of novel
ties in engineering details, and as a
whole has attracted scores of emf
nent engineers from foreign lands,
many having come from Europe to see
this triumph of hydraulic engineering.
The peculiar problems, some of them
very difficult, of the water-power work
were worked out by Hugh J.. Cooper,
who is chief engineer and vice presi-
dent Of the Mississippi River Power
company and the builder of this great
water-power, as we'll as its organizer
and creator. The electrical part is
being built by the Stone & Webster
Engineering corporation, skilled in
electrical engineering, which is build
! ing the transmission line to Saint
Louis and will erect the power house
sllperstructure and the huge genera
tors attached to the water wheels
! each as large as a bungalow.
1t is impossible here to describe
I much Of the character of the struc
i lures here in the Mississippi covering
an area measured in miles. In broad
! line sketch, they are something like
! this:
