Winter is playing odd antics this
year. In the Adirondack region where
at this time the mercury usually hovers
below zero and the ground is blanketed
under two feet or more of snow, the
ground has been bare and the weather
spring like, while in some parts of
Texas railway train service has been
delayed by an unusually heavy fall of
snow.

A health to the girl that can dance like

And the girl that can pound the piano;
A health to the girl that writes verse

Or toys with high G in soprano;
To the girl that can talk, and the girl
who does not,
To the saint and the sweet little sinner
But here S to the cleverest girl of the
lot,
The girl who can cook a good dinner.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. A
delegation of American Federation
of Labor officials, led by Bert M.
Jewell, head of the Railway Depart
ment, called on President Wilson to-
day, and handed him a letter which
declared entirely inadequate his plan
for settlement of the railway work
ers' wages demands.
The principal point set forth in the
communication handed the President
was that under his plan the wage de-
mand of 10000 railroad workers
viii have to be received and passed
upon by a commission, under law
that has yet to be enacted by Con-
gress. The delegation told the Presi-
dent that his scheme involves too
much delay. Already, because of de-
lay, it was pointed out to the Presi-
dent, 10000 railway workers are
striking without authorization from
the governing body of their brother
hood. Labor officials are now, they
said, confronted by situation
which is nearing a point that can be
controlled no longer"

Said Premier Lenine: s'The Boil
shevik program is revolution, not re-
form; Bolshevists seek to organize
workers of the world, including
Americans, into a single fraternal
union; and the Bo7sheviki will crush
all resistance, using terror, if neces-
sary."
Further, the Premier said, "the
Bolsheviki government of Russia is
willing to make peace, and will pay
all debts due France and other states
identified with the entente Allied ma
tions, provided there will be real
peace, namely: A peace signed for
mally by plenipotentiaries, with full
and complete powers to act, with the
treaty thus framed and executed con-
firmed by the governments of Eng
land, France, the United States, Ja-
pan and Italy. With such a peace
the Russian government, as now
constituted would aim to carry out
all the undertakings put upon it by
the instrument itself; and with such
a peace that same Russian govern
ment could and would bend all of its
energies toward pacification of Rus
sia and development of the unparal-
leled resources of that tremesdous
domain"

LABOR SHORTAGE
Omitted Press Service)

LAREDO, Tex, Aug, 5,-Inabil-
ity to secure So is keeping many Mex
lean laborers from jobs that literally
are before their eyes-and inciden-
tally causing a farm labor shortage
on the ranches of tie Rio Grande Val
ley, that is the worst in years.
Since passage of the draft laws,
when tousands of Mexican laborers
left the United States for Mexico to
avoid military service, cheap labor
has been at a premium throughout
the Texas cotton belt and in truch
farms and construction camps.
With the war over, employers i'm
mediately took steps to secure re-
turn of the Mexicans, but the United
States immigration Service refused
to lift it's ban. An $500 head tax is
the first and most serious problem
confronting the Mexican who wants
TO come back to his old job in the

KILL CARIBOU
CANADA'S Plan
Omitted Press Service)

WINNIPEG, Man., Aug. A. The
praries of Canada may soon be dyed
with the blood of hundreds of thou
sands of slaughtered caribou. Dupli-
cation of the great buffalo hunts on
the praries of the United States,
years ago are expected in the Cana
dian Caribou country-this time for
the primary purpose of jolting the
high cost of living.
Canadian officials estimate that
there are 10000 caribou in the
northern barrens of their country.
Caribou meat is wholesome and nu-
tritious and the only difficulty is
placing it on the market, they said.
With the prevailing high price of
beef, pork and veal, they said, it
would be economy to fit out hunting
expeditions to drive the great herds
to points south and kill off the ami
mails for the market. In the winter
huge droves of caribou migrate to
the less severe climate of the shell
tered woodlands of the South
Churchill river country, in Alberta.
Husters on sledges can easily
reach this country.

DIR. CLEAvER
WILL START
SOONONAN
OIL HUNT
Will Explore The Great
Sedimentary Areas To-
ward The Gulf Coast of
Mexico.

Having just completed the extern
sion of his field notes and written
reports on his late examinations of
the oil fields of Texas and other
parts of the Southwest, DR.. Alonzo
Cleaver, the geologist, is diligently
perfecting plans to start his ex-
pedition to visualize the Sonora
Ozokerite or mineral wax exudes, in
dicating high grade oil of para
fine base, whose existence was re-
lated to him by his old associate and
brother geologist, the late Col. w.
F. Blood, that pre-eminent oil ex-
pert of California, as exclusively
told in recent issue of THE OASIS.
If nothing unforeseen occurs Doc
tor Cleaver proposes to leave for So
nora the latter part of this week,
or as soon thereafter as possible.
On the first trip he will be gone
probably three or four weeks, as he
wishes to examine and geologic
thoroughly a large scope of undis-
turbed sedim entary areas. Though
the trip will be made in the hot sea-
son Doctor Cleaver says that he is
familiar with such climates, and he
apprehends no drawbacks more seri-
GUS than a little discomfort from
the absence of civilized conveniences.
When it was suggested that the in
evitable "doubting Thomas" is ques-
tioning existence of oil in Sonora,
Doctor Cleaver said that it is to be
expected. In former times the same
class of gentlemen had said that the
mines of Arizona did not go down;
that no oil would ever be found in
Oklahoma, Wyoming, California or
Texas; and that surely man was
crazy who would look for oil around
or in the vicinity of Tampico. De-
velopment proved that the mines of
Arizona do go down; and that great
oil pools are found in alh aforemen
toned localities. He said, further
more, that from his own researches
and those of his scouts he has been
led to believe that at least some of
the present vast, undisturbed
sedimentary areas of the Wes'
Coast of Mexico were once an old
ocean bed; that fossils found there
indicate that those areas once teemed
with animal or sea life; and that
similar conditions existed in other
areas in different parts of the world
where oil has been found in paying
quantities. Moreover, he has taken
copious transcripts from Colonel
Blood's field notes and, after care
full investigation and check up he
felt sure of his premises. Hence he
has resolved to "take chance" and
make the trip himself to verify
Geologist Blood's data; especially as
the amount at stake will be in
significant when compared to the
huge winning that would be avail
able were oil found, as, in all human

M0NTECRISTO
OF SONORA-A
PIONEER OF
PIONEERS
Don Ricardo Johnson, Of
The ArgOnauts. A Career
That Reads Like A RO-
nance.

1t is announced that the great old
time mining operator Don Ricardo
johnson was to have arrived in No
gales last night. 1t is understood
that he comes on mining business
that presages huge potentialities for
Sonora. For more than three-score
years the mining history of Sonora,
that unsurpassed mineral kingdom,
has been linked almost inseparably
with the name of Ricardo Johnson,
or "Don Ricardo" as his legion of
friends and acquaintance, both Mex
ican and foreigners, delight in call
ing him.
Though over eighty years of age
Don Ricardo is still hale, hearty and
optimistic; and he belongs to that
lion-hearted class of pioneers, such
as Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, Sam
Houston, Jim Bridger and Kit Car
son, who have writ their names large
in the history of the Great West.
AS boy he trekked from Sonora
to California with his father in 1849,
but he returned soon to his beloved
Sonora, and, barring intermittent
short trips North and East on bust
ness, he has remained there ever
since Beside being a great mine
promoter he is broad minded
philosopher, improving constantly a
highly cultured mind with all the
latest Spanish and English scientific
work-from oil flotation machinery
for metal recovery to flying ma
chimes from the solar system to abe
last word on geology. He keeps
abreast of the times.
Don Ricardo, so it is said, has
operated, promoted and sold more big
mines in Sonora than any other two,
or, perhaps, three, men. At one
time or another in his romantic
career has been owner or an i'm
portant factor in mines of such huge
magnitude as Minas Prietas, Cres-
toni Colorado, Nacozari, Cananea, Ell
Trio, San Geronimo, and, last, but
not least, the great Lampazos silver
mines.
There is no gainsaying the fact
that he is the best posted man in
Sonora on Mexican Mining Law.
He has made and lost several huge
fortunes, and still has mining and
landed interests, and many other
valuable equities.
Mr.. johnson is a shrewed observer
of economic, political and social con-
ditions, and as this is his first trip
out of Sonora since the Madero Re-
volution of 191O-1911, it may be as
sumed that he observes a clear sky
with better times ahead, and is pre-
pairing for some big deal.
