LARGE HAY BARN BURNED
Bert Sorrells Loses 1,5OO Bales
of Good Hay Yesterday
Morning.

A large hay barn at the ranch
of Bert Sorrells, formerly the
ranch, seven miles out
on the Duquesne road, burned
at A o'clock yesterday morning.
There were 1,500 bales of hay in
the barn which was totally de-
stroyed, entailing, of course a
considerable loss. The barn
was built of corrugated iron
and recently some new hay had
been stored in it. This it is
believed caused spontaneous
combustion with the result
stated.
At first it was thought that
perhaps it was the work of in
cendiaries but a close investi-
cation resulted in the conclu-
sion that the heat from the iron
roof and the new hay, naturally
subject to a sweating process
caused the fire.
A phone message was sent to
the sheriff's office and Deputy
Sheriff Bowman, Federal Agent
Northrup and others hurriedly
drove out to the ranch, but
both barn and contents were
destroyed before they got there.

different from what they were
preceding July 18th. Their edi-

as was so plain before that date.
The Vandals aspired to domi-

found out their mistake. In the
end we will witness their COM

present one."

SUPERIOR COURT.
End Of the Big Damage Suit
Probably No More
Jury Trials

The damage suit of John
Erkkila against the Montana
Mines Co., for $25,O00 for the
loss of an eye while the plain
tiff was in the employ of the
company as a minor, came t. an
end last evening after a two
days trial, by the jury bring
ing in a verdict IN favor of the
plaintiff for the sum of $4,000.
This will in all likelihood end
case, as the plaintiff does not
seem to wish either a new trial
or an appeal. 1t is understood
that the company will also abiIe
by the verdict Of the jury as
they had previously offered to
pay the plaintiff $4,000, about
what the law allows in cases of
injury of that character under
the employers lial ility act. The
attorneys in tile case B. f.
Marks for the plaintiff and
George J. Stoneman for the
mining company, each made a
gallant fight and their presen-
tation of their case to the jury
was listened to with much III
terest by members of the local
bar and others.
This will in all probability be
the last jury trial this term and
the jury will be discharged to-
day.

BRITISH AND FRENCH
ENCIRCLB THE TOWN AND
RBPULSB ATTACKS OF ROB
FROM PARIS.
An Extract of a Letter to Mr..
Alfredo Monteverde, Which
Will Interest All Readers of
The Oasis.

Mr.. Alfredo Monteverde has
kindly translated for publica-
ton extracts from a letter he
has received from Mr.. Leon
Horvilleur of Paris, the gentle
man who was in business many
years in Nogales, Sonora, and
who is ready and willing always
to welcome American soldiers
calling on him.
Repeatedly Mr.. Horvilleur
has requested the people of No
COLES and Santa Cruz county to
forward him the addresses of
any of their boys in the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Forces, and
he will get in touch with them,
entertaining them whenever
they visit Paris, and finding
them pleasant places to stay,
among his friends, or in his
own home, when they are on
furlough. His address is 43,
Rue Brunei, Paris, France.
Following are the extracts
from the letter:
"I received recently a letter
from Colonel Bird. I have had
the pleasure of spending one
day with Tracy and one of his
intimate friends "a Lieutenant
keenan, of New York. They
both went to the Lorraine front,
but the friend has returned
since, passing through Paris, to
another place in southern
France for a rest of IL days.
"Many of the German prison.
ers captured say they have been
kept in ignorance of the fact
that Americans were fighting
at the front, as their leaders
never tell the truth.
"The American divisions are
being prepared and very soon
we shall hear from them. (That
was before ST. Mihiel. The
Oasis.)
"Every day the Allies gain
ground, recovering towns and
cities, the retreating Vandals
destroying everything behind
them.
"Of late I have been very
busy, and nearly every day I re-
ceive calls from American SOL
diers, and with great pleasure |
do my best in entertainment of
my visitors from the United
States.

completely silent, and the Ger
man aviators dare not come

Policies Are Not Principles.

The Anti-Saloon League of New York has
addressed note to the president protesting
against the selection of Samuel Gompers as
member of the peace council delegation. Not
because Mr.. Gompers is not good citizen, or
not an eminent representative of labor, but be-
cause he is not prohibltonst. What has pro-
hibition to do with the worlds peace? AS we'll
protest Mr.. Gompers because he is not Sing
ing Baptist" or "Millerite."
Is the peace council, or any part of its pro-
ceedings, to turn on prohibition? If SO, what
sort of figure will the water wagon advocates
cut in presence of English, French Italian and
Portuguese delegates, each sitting for country
in which prohibition is unknown? Please re-
member that very recently the date of effective
wartime prohibition in America was postponed
three months to accommodate the governments
of Italy and Portugal who protested in the
name of their winners.
One of the unpleasant accompaniment OF
the war has been the persistence with which
little groups of zealots, each advocating its own
brand of panacea for our national ills, have as
sailed the public, thrusting their claims ahead
of all others. With the approach of peace,
cranks of all kinds have dngdonged their pri-
vate views in public to the almost total exclu-
sion of the general welfare. Never was the
common sense of patient Americans so sorely
tried as now.
Policies are not principles, and ENGRAVING
them constitutions or framing them into
statutes will not change their nature. Nor does
intolerance make for the advancement of free
dom at any point. The zeal of the Anti-Saloon
league in behalf of universal prohibition is un-
derstandable, but what its champions apparently
do not understand is that Europe, even under
the new dispensation, is not likely to be as pa
tent with them as Americans have been.

Girls Who Also Sacrificed

While we are devotng much and just at
tention to the young men who dropped their
profitable employments to enter the army and
bear the nations burden, we must not lose sight
of the fact that it was not men alone who sacr-
feed the privileges of peace
Thousands of girls and women, expert
stenographers and proficient in hundreds of
clerical ways, gave up comfortable places to
turn their ability to the purposes of the govern
ment. How are they to stand in the demobiliza-
ton and Encouragement of employment? Are
they to shift for themselves or their patriotic
actions to be rewarded and they safeguarded?
We are properly invoking the national
strength in the project of setting each soldier
in as good job as the one he left We must
surely employ the same means in providing for
the stenographer who resigned from a secure
place so that she might do all in her power for
victory. Many of the men in service were as
signed to clerical regiments and thus set at
tasks no more important than the tasks assigned
to girls. Of course, the men were nearer the
front and their work attended by more danger.
But the sacrifice was no greater. Wherefore,
we plead for some assurance for the girls They
have been soldiers of the republic and they are
entitled to the treatment accorded a veteran.-
