That the lure of Oil in Sonora is
beginning to attract pioneer trai
blazers is proved by the fact of recent
visits of advance scouts of oildom il
the persons of eminent geologists.
BY the nature and traditions Of
their profession these gentlemen are
cautious always, and have but little
or nothing to say to an enterprising
scribe. However, by their continua
coming, going and returning it augurs
weil for Nogales as headquarters fol
a future oil or mineral metropolis.
For two months Doctor AlonzC
Cleaver, while quietly geologising
"from Dan to Beersheba," in both So
nora and Arizona, has made his head
quarters in the Line City AS Doctor
Cleaver came fresh from the new oil
fields of Texas, and earlier from those
of California, his visit here may be
interpreted as having special signifi-
canoe.
Right on the heels of Doctor Cleaver
there arrived unostentatiously in So
nora, some six weeks ago, two quiet,
studious but athletic appearing gentle
men from Mexico City. News of
their arrival was told exclusively in
THE OASIS at the time; but even the
usual prescience of it's editor did not
guage the Importance of their indentity
They were no less than Trinidad
oaredes and Antonio Luna, two
biologists of pre-eminent ability, sent
by the Mexican Government to ex-
anime prospects for oil reported ex-
listing in Sonora.
The gentlemen are still pursuing
their Investigations in Sonora's broad
acres of sedimentary area. From
their high position it is natural for
them to be both conservative and re-
served. However, as previously told
in THE OASIS exclusively, the editor
S credibly informed that, so far, the
| result if their reconnoissances in.
dicates the existence of big oil fielt
in Sonora, and in due time it may be
assumed that definite official data
will be released. q

Biologists. Paredes and Luna are
directly connected with the "Sec-
retaria de Industrial, Comercio Ira
bajo," of Mexico, which, by and large
corresponds with the American De-
partment Of the Interior and United
States Geological Survey, with some
of the power of our two Departments
of Commerce and Labor.
Right here it is. meet to state that
Mexican biologists, with almost 40C
years experience in those wondrous
and mammoth mines of Ell Orc, Zaca-
tecas, Guanajuato and Pachuca, to-
gether with the recent gusher oil
fields of Tampico and Vera Cruz, are
second to none in their profession.
Bringing Biologists Paredes anG
Luna to Sonora is due to the enter
prise and foresight of Gen Plutarco
Elias Gales, the progressive con-
stitutional governor of that great
Sovereign State.
That rumors of oil in Sonora are
going far afield is evidenced by the
progressive number of substantial but
secretive people who come here and
ask leading questions, which show that
their minds run towards petroleum or
mineral They then disappear sud
denly, and keep reappearing and dis
appearing all the time. Such mystery
indicates the shrewed and experienced
scout, travelling under a nom de
plume.
The hotel, passenger and passport
lists show the names of many people
going to Sonora who cannot conceal
their fame in either the oil or mining
world. Such folk are not of the usual
rabble or hurrah "sooner boomer
class; but are seasoned people who
are taking time by the forelock and
endeavoring to get into Sonora on the
ground floor, before the oil movement
starts They seem willing to risk the
loss of a comparatively insignificant
expense against prospects for huge
profits in few months.

THE AMERICAN POLICY in RUSSIA
MARK SMITH
SUPPORTS
LEAGUE
Omitted Press Service)


WASHINGTON, July 25.-Address-
ing the Senate today in support of
ratification of the League of Nations,
Senator Marcus A. Smith of Arizona.
told the Senators that refusal by the
Senate to ratify the League of Ma
tions would be "a shameful betrayal
of Civilization at the greatest crisis
in history"
Mr.. Smith declared that opponents
of the League are trying to frighten
the country with "spectres and COB
Inns" for partisan purposes.
MAY God have mercy on the man
who would place party success above
peace and the prosperity of his coun-
try" exclaimed Mr.. Smith, dramatical-
ly.
He declared that the argument that
the League Covenant creates a super
state is a "scarecrow;" and that such
"super-state" would be, without a
citizen or subject, with no name, no
local habitation, no geography, no
treasury, no power to declare war
make peace or levy taxes"

To a reporter of THE OASIS Gen.

very successful in many ways. The

stitution is doing, and its practical
service to orphans of soldiers of the
revolution. The band gave concerts
at Cananea, Aqua Prieta and Nacosari,
playing to crowded houses, and taking
home to Hermosillo about $4,000 to
add to the funds of the institution. A
concert was given also at Douglas.

SELF DETERMINATION

If self-determination is good for
the Jugo-Slav,
If self-determination is right for
the Pole to have,
If self-determination be given the
Serb and the Jew.
Shall self-determination not 90 to
the Irish too?
Oh, YOU who have fought for the
feeble. for Belgian, Serb and
Czech.
Who loosed from their limbs the
fetter and the yoke from their
bleeding neck;
Will You hove the links unbroken
Of the chain that for ages long
Has hindered the hand Of Erin and
saddened her olden song?
VIII you call to your council table
the wretched Of nvarv cline?
Will you give to their cause a hear
ing and make for their pleas a
time?
Yet bar the door on a people who
never have failed you yet
Whatever the task twas yours to
ask. and wherever your foes
they met
Willyou bid to your court the vic
TINS from the world s far-s,ln-
ded ends.
Yet deafen your ears and harden
YOUR hearts to the message poor
Ireland sends?
Will you list to the down-trod
races whose names you have
hardly known
And leave to her lot the nation
whose blood is so much your
own?
Oh you who have fought for the
feeble--Oh YOU who have
wrought so well
To strike from the graSn Of the
rulers a rod that was forged in
hell
Will YOU leave for the curse Of
Ireland the fat of cid to stand
Which makes the will of the great
Err the law of the lesser land?
All, no: You have given the
nations a trial-word and a test.
And well have the Irish answered.
They, look to you for the rest,
Whoever may shift or shuttle;
whoever may twist and lie,
You've spoken the word that the
world has stirred, how then can
you dare denyY
For, self-determination is all that
the old lind Graves,
For self-determination the stake
and the rack she braves.
If self-determination were ever a
people s due,
Then self-determination must go
