Neat Inventions.

Mr.. w. S. Larcom, of the po-
lice force, has submitted to The
Oasis a couple of small inven-
tions xf his own conception, for
which he has applied for pat
ents, that are simple, but like
so many simple inventions have
potentialities of profits that
may run to a fortune. One is
a conductors hat check device,
by which the hat checks are
carried in a small clip that
hangs to the conductors finger
by a ring, just as does his ticket
punch, and can be adjusted with
ease so any check in a bunch
can be freed and drawn with
out disturbing or disarranging
the others. The other device is
a restaurant check, which q
waiter can handle in the same
way. Both devices are made
upon the same principle.

County Schools Closed.

Mrs. Josephine Saxon, county
school superintendent of schools
reports that some of the coun.
try schools have closed on ac-
count of the influenza, though
the disease has appeared in but
one district. At Elgin there
were some few cases but of a
very mild nature. However
two Mexicans died at that place
of pneumonia, supposedly
brought on by influenza. Those
schools that have closed were.
Patagonia, Elgin, Vaughan,
Rain Valley, Duquesne, Santa
Cruz and Amadoville. 1t is not
thought that these schools will
be closed for any great length
of time as no indications of the
disease have appeared anywhere
except in the case noted.

Mowry precinct has been re

have been appointed to hold the
election there on the fifth Of
November. There are "a voters
in the precinct, as registered.
The precinct had fallen off SO
that it was abolished several
years ago, but with the increase
in mining that is taken place in
the vicinity, with consequent
employment of many men,
there is a sufficient voting force
to require another precinct.

Cannot Change Now.

Santa Cruz county has to

men for the armies that are to
cross the water to fight the
Hun. That work is in the hands
of the local draft board, created
by law to include the Sheriff,
Recorder and County Physi-
clan. In the work done hereto
fore in that line Mr.. Arcus Red
doch, Recorder of Santa Cruz
county, has shown organizing
capacity and executive ability.
The real work of registration,
drawing the various contin-
gents, and forwarding them to
the camps where directed, falls
upon the recorder, and Mr..
Reddoch has manifested a re-
markable adaptability for the
labor. He has been model Of
diligence and assiduity. At
present the office has the daily
attention Of a large clerical
force, and the ease and precision
with which the job progresses
demonstrate the thorough fit
ness of the gentleman for the
job. Which means of course
that he should and will be re-
tanned. This is no time to make
any change ia that office.

, INFLUENZA SITUATION
How it is Affecting Neighbor,
ing Places.

Influenza seems to have
taken possession of the Indian
Training School four miles
south of Tucson on the Nogales
road. Yesterday there were
but ten well persons in the
school and the number of sick
ones was 13O. There have been
no deaths and the disease seems
to be Of a rlild character.
Eleven new casNs wer, i'e
ported yesterday at the Uniycr.
sity for the previous "a rours
and IA were discharged. Three
OF the cases regarded as serious
have greatly imrroved and al!
of the new cases are very light
in character.
In the city Il Tucson eight
new cases were reported yester-
day
Bisbee and that locality
seems to be suffering more
from the epidemic than any
other section, .iIe number of
pneumonia cases resulting from
the influenza attacks being of a
higher percentage than else
where. A dispatch from Bis
bee yesterday says.
Pneumonia following influ-
enza claimed six additional VIC
Tins today, while the heath #
ficers received noti cc,caticn Of
approximately SO new cases of
influenza. The ratio of pneu-
monia cases is reported 10 have
been increased large" during
the last few days, oNlrg to the
rains and decided change in the
temperature. Repo.ts from
Tombstone today said that
there had been seven deaths at
Exposed Reef, an isolated min
ing camp in the EIuachuca
mountains, while mo-. than 10
employees, or almost the entire
number were ILL.,"
1t is a notable fact in every
community in which the disease
has appeared the greater per-
centage of cases has been among
foreigners and especially those
living amid unsanltary SUI

No Revision Needed.

In these days when on the service flag in many of
homes the golden is beginning appear, it
will help to bring comfort to many a Borrowing
father and mother to read what Abraham Lincoln
once wrote to a Civil mother:
q have been shown in the files of the
department statement of the adjutant general
of Massachusetts that you the mother of
five who died gloriously on the field of
battle.
I feel how weak and fruitIess must be any
words of mine which should attempt to beguile
you from the grief of loss so overwhelming
But I cannot refrain from rendering to you the
consolation that may be found in the thoughts
of the republic they died to save
Il pray Heavenly Father may assuage
the anguish of your bereavement and leave you
only the cherished memory of the loved and the
lost and the solemn pride that be yours

Among the non-essential occupa-
tions or industries which should be
brought to Nhe attention of the gov
eminent I beg leave to mention
that of the correspondent who
writes: Il am enclosing herewith
a stamp. for which kindly send me
by return mail" Now, the chanc-
es are l should never discover the
stamp anyway. And even when l
can take time off to search for it in
the waste basket or under the desk,
l can seldom find time to search
for an envelope, the ink, my pen,
and a vacant place on the desk to
address the envelope-at least l
can seldom do all this in time to
catch the return mail And so far
as I am concerned there amt going
