AFTER TWENTY-THREE YEARS.

Upon the sixth of December, 1894, the first number
of "The Oasis to be printed in Nogaes turned off
from the press this is the twenty anniversary of
this newspaper Nogales production And in the
daily form the paper greets its friends and readers with
pride and qualification. In doing so few words Of
assertion will be vouchsafed
Before this date in 1894 there had been many at
tempts to float newspapers in Nogaes but all had been
failures. So dismal was the situation the place was
known at "the graveyard of newspapers" We were
greeted with that fact and the amonition that Nogales
was no place to newspaper"
1t took but little time to discover the for the
condition described: Those who had attempted the
enterprise had not known how to price their wares
When this paper quoted prices all held alot their hands
in holy horror and quoted prices charged by others who
had been in the field passing out after feeble existence
To all such the writer returned reply always that he
had come to NOgaes to stay; that he knew what it
to do business, in the printing line; that he purposed
publishing good newspaper and that the people Of the
town were up to the proposition to pay good prices if
they wanted that kind of paper. The argument took
Jhe prices fixed in this office were paid.
The same proposition is to the fore on the daily
diton Of which this is the fifth number There are
others who will take subscriptions advertising and Job
work cheaper than will 'The Daily Morning Oasis" But
that makes difference here The prices quoted by this
office are fair living prices We knew anyone to
refuse to pay such prices when convinced of the fact So
The Daily Morning Oasis will abide by it's prices trusting
that sense of fairness together with desire to en-
courage good service will be ample inducement to the
business public to pay them This journal will not enter
into cut throat competition with anyone.

Scrlber the other day.
The question is old as Job and never has been
answered. This community is no different from any
other town in that respect
There is general tendency the part of employees
to let the merchants do it, when anything to be done for
the town. Atho they do not seem to realize it, the man
who works for wages has just much interest in MAX
ing this bigger and more prosperous town the
chants. The more the Garner does to make this
better place in which to live the contented he and
his family will be. he works shoulder to shoulder with
the merchant to bring industries here means that
he is going to have just that many opportunities to
get a better job, to improve his condition in life
Only as the town grows the empoye expect his
opportunities and his wages to grow so just as much
to his interest any else to get out and help make
this bigger and better community

FAIRY SONG.

When daises close and peoples nod,
And meadow grass to earth is laid,
And fairies dance on moonlit sod,
Or quaff of dewdrops in the shade,
Come! gentle dreams, in velvet shod,
And foot it round each sleeping
maid.
Come softly hither, dove-winged
flock,
And on their pillows make your
nest,
And light as down from puff-ball
clock
Let kisses on their eyes he prest,
Then sit upon the couch and rock
Each tender little heart to rest.

wonderful success and response

cinct were at least twice as large as
it is, for the work was really a
pleasure.
