chums. and they were planning
A to have great fun with other
boys on Halloween.
At the end OF the town where they
lived on q lonely road lived an old
woman that some unkind person had
spoken Of as witch one day. and ever
since she had been called one.
II she came to the village, the chill
dren would stand and look at her. and
some who had not been taught to re-
spect old age, no matter who the per-
son was, would call out to her IN Jeer-
ing way. and some very bad boys had
been known to throw stones at her.
On Halloween the boys had planned.
among other things. to go out TO Old
witch Angles, as she was called, and
take Off the blinds to her house and put
a Jack-o'-lantern up to her window and
scare her.
Charles and Horace were talking over
the fun they expected to have and how
late they could stay out on their way
home from school.
Il like It all but the things they have
planned to do to Old witch Angle" said
Charles. "she never hurts any one, and
IL my mother was old and there was
no one to protect her I shouldn't like to
think she would be treated as we have
planned to frighten Angie"
"I don't suppose we shall frighten her
very much" replied Horace; but /
think Il ia wrong to play tricks on old
people. anyway. At houses where there
are boys and girls our age It is all
right: but / do not suppose the boys
would give up going to Witch Angles

"If we could only get them to do

 Monday there arrived at Elgin MT. J. c. Sparks and family, con- sisting of his wife and two fine little boys. Mr. Sparks had visited the Elgin region about a month before, and before making a final decision about making location he brought out his wife to see the country and form her own opinion about it. They looked over the region, picked out a place and Wednesday evening Mir. Sparks went to Nogales and made his filing.
 In the month of January seven houses were erected on homesteads in the vicinity of Elgin, three of which were built last week. The three were constructed Tor C. l.. Wood, Fred Gentle and D. D. Miller. The others were for Solo, mon Block, J. s. Hamlet, E. c. Tolman and Arthur Roland. Another for c. Sanstrom is now under way. Frazier Brothers are the contractors who have done the work.
 It is reported Albert Steinfeld Company of Tucson, contemplates establishing a branch store at Elgin, which will supply the, settlers right at home. There is a fine opening for such house at Elgin, and if Steinfeld does not embrace the opportunity some one. else will do so. What is needed is Ia large general merchandising establishment which will supply the people of the surrounding region, buying and shipping their produce.

MUNICIPAL WATER S EM.
Contract Let for Construction, Without
 Advertisement for Bids.

Last Saturday everyone in No- gales, except the few upon the in- side, were surprised to learn that on the preceding Wednesday eyen- ing the Nogales Town Board had let contract for installation of pumping plant at the Santa Cruz river and laying a main to connect the plant with the present system, which the town has contracted to buy. Karns brothers are the con- tractors, and the contract price for the entire work is $50,0O00O. It is reported that Roy < Titcomb submitted bid that was several thousand dollars higher.
 It is the general belief that all contracts of any magnitude, whether by state, county or muni- cipality, must be let after adver- tisement for bids. Yet here is contract involving more than $50,- 0OO00 where no such formality has been observed. Judge w. A. O'Connor, district attorney of Santa Cruz county, has informed THE OASIS that he can find nowhere in the law any such provision binding a municipality to such course. Maybe Judge O'Connor is correct in his position. THE OASIS is not going to dispute that point at this place. But it seems a very strange proceeding.

ExTRADlTIoN DEM iNDED.
Lewis B. Fleischer Wanted in Mexico to Answer to Charge of Bribery.
 Committed for Hearing.

Upon a telegraphic order from United States Marshal Charles A. Overlook, Lewis B. Fleischer, we'll known citizen and business man in Nogales, who had been abroad since June, 1910, and had returned but a couple of weeks ago, was arrested by Deputy U. s. Mar shal Henry Stewart upon extradi- ton proceedings inaugurated d against the accused by the Mexj- can government, charging him with bribery, supposedly in con- nection with his business troubles in Nogales, Sonora, in the early part of the year 1910. Monday evening Deputy United States Marshal D. s. Willits arrived from Tucson with the warrant of arrest which was served upon Mr. Fleischer, who had been in custody since his arrest Saturday evening The warrant was issued at Bisbee on Saturday last, at the instance of United States Attorney Joseph E. Morrison, who acted upon tele- graphic instructions from the State Department at Washington, which had acted upon representations from the Mexican government, at the federal capital of that republic, The complaint states that the accused is charged with bribery committed in the state of Sonora on or about the first of January, 1910.
 Upon his arrest Mr. Fleiaaher was taken before United States Commissioner Allen T. Bird, who committed him to await the presentation of proof by the Mexi- can government, which, under the extradition law, has forty days so to do. Then will come the hearing, and presentation of proofs. If, on the showing made the accused is held for extradition the findings are sent to the President, and upon his order, only, can the findings be carried out, if they should be for extradition of the accused.

PROPOSED INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION
Assuming Shape and Form. Hand some Subscription of Shares In
 the Enterprise Made Already.

Since THR OASIS gave accounts week ago of organization of the Boosters Club of Nogales and the inauguration of a movement to establish at the line city an Inter national Exposition for advance ment of the industries and develop ment of the resources of the West Coast of Mexico and Southern Arizona generally, there has been done a great deal of responsible and effective work toward further ing the enterprise, and the results shown so far are very gratifying, presaging complete and colossal success.
 Tuesday evening was the time set for the report of the committee appointed last week to canvass the two towns and get the sense of the business men in both places and their feeling toward the proposed enterprise. A large assemblage of citizens from both sides of the line gathered at the Santa Cruz Club rooms to hear the report of the committee and to participate in the deliberations to follow. The meeting being one of the Boosters Club, it was called to order and its proceedings conducted by the president of the Club, MT. D. P. Smelling.
 For the general committee ap. pointed last week MT. H. s. Creigh- ton made a brief verba report. The gentleman stated that the com mittee had visited many of the business men on both sides of the line, and had been received cor dially by all with many assurances of aid and assistance, both fnan- cial and otherwise, in advancing the proposed exposition. The speaker said that the committee had reached a conclusion that at least $25,00000 ought to be sub. scribed in Nogales P i'd into the treasury of the corporation that was to be organized to carry out the proposition. With that sum raised in the line cities there, would be a strong probability of raising like amount on the out side.
 Mir. Charles H. White, inmigra- tlon agent for the Southern Pacific ot Mexico was introduced and gave a very clear and sensible ad- dress. He pledged the aid of the Southern Pacific in free transporta- tlon of the exhibits to and from the exposition at all points along It's lines in Mexico, and free passes tor committee of two at least to be sent along the West Coast, into Sonora, Sinaloa, Topic and some parts of the states of Jalisco and Colima. The policy of the Southern Pacific, said Mir. White, is to aid every legitimate enterprise having as It's aim the development and advancement of the West Coast of Mexico. The territory in the States of the West Coast of Mex. leo within the sphere of influence ot the Southern Pacific, embraces l56.OOO square miles, and includes ihe states of Sonora, Sinaloa, the Territory of Topic, and parts of The states of Colima and Jalico. It IS a region of wonderful resources.
