Last Bridge Put In

Pouring concrete on last bridge
on the Benson Tombstone section
of the new county road was ac-
complished Thursday. This bridge
is about three and a half miles out,
near the Boquillas tank, and is one
of the longest on the route, being
over forty feet in length. Con-

two bridges close to town, and
with the completion of this one,
there only remains the necessity of
a sufficient time for the work to

of road can be thrown open to
travel. This will probably be done
about the first of next month.

Principal Robertgon Returns
from California

Principal H. Q. Robertson of the
Benson High School is home after
an absence of six weeks. During
the time he has been in Los An
geles taking summer work in the
southern branch of the University
of California. His work in educa-
ton consisted of one class in
School Administration" and one
in Principles of Teaching in Jun
ior and Senior High Schools, both
courses given by DR.. Smith, of the
University of Oklahoma. He also
had work in Economics under DR..
Cross, of the University of Califor-
ala. The work in all three courses
consisted of a fifty minute lecture
period and two hours in the library
reading texts and references. 1t
required on the average eight hours
work to carry the courses. Mr..
Robertson took the conrses in edu-
cation because he wanted to get
the very latest in school manage
ment and principals of teaching, so
it could be said that Benson schools
were up to date.
While in Los Angeles he met up
with many old friends who had
lived in sunny Arizona. Through
the special kindness of Mr.. Spin
her and Mr.. Bolinger, of the Pacific
Chemical Company, DR.. and Mrs.
Maish, old Globe friends, and Geo.
Etz, Jr., of Benson, Mr.. Robertson
had the pleasure of seeing much of
Los Angeles and the surrounding
country. The last day of his stay
was spent at Long Beach viewing
the great Pacific Fleet, sight long
to be remembered, an account of
which Mr.. Robertson will no doubt
relate for the benefit of his school
pupils.

Sensational Runaway

The sensation caused by the run
away to New Mexico of Jim Ong
and Margaret Callahan at the end
of last week, was partly abated by
their return Thursday, reporting
that the marriage ceremony had
been performed at Lordsburg, New
Mexico.
Ong is a Chinese waiter working
in the Mansion Cafe, aged probably
in the neighborhood of twenty-five
years, and the girl, whose age is
reported as sixteen, was employed
there also until short time ago.
While there was much surprise
expressed over this affair the prin-
cipals are the ones directly con-
cerned, and, anything beyond the
statement of the facts would be
superhuous.
The girls mother, a widow, run
ming the Cottage Roo1ning House,
raised no objection to the match it
is reported, having wired assent in
reply to telegram from the cou-
pie at Lordsburg.

Tooth Extraction

I insist that tooth extraction is
a surgical operation and should re-
ceive the same care and attention
as an operation of equal Importance
on any other part of the body. The
extraction of a tooth creates a le-

socket should not be left full OF
coagulated blood, bordering on pus
The engorged blood vessels should
be relieved then the aftermath o1
the operation will not be serious.

LABOR DAY DANCE, BENSON, ARIZ, SEPT.

His friends were amazed at the
magnitude of his proposition, and
not until he flashed several $780,
10000 bills from a wad of elephan-
tine dimensions before the eyes OF
his two bosom friends, Jim Kirk
and "O1d Pack" did they realize
that Greene had arrived with the
goods. y
Such was the romantic begin
ming of Cananea. From that time
Colonel Greene was a hero and f.
nancier to his old time friends.
The inside facts of sudden eleva-
ton from a mediocre miner -rancher
and peripatetic promoter to full
fedged financial magnate have
never been told and have ever re-
mained a mystery along the bor-
der. AS Colonel Greene and all
the parties immediately connected
with the New York end of the ro-
mantle long ago have been gather
ed to their fathers, it now seems
appropriate for the Oasis to publish
the story as told its editor by one
whose position in the marts of the
mighty made him entirely familiar
with every phase of the early his
tory of Cananea. Hereinafter fol-
lows the alleged entra1s of the deal
practically verbatim:
In Greene's various peregrina-
tions seeking capital he had often
met, both east and west, one Wal
ter S. Logan, an able New York
corporation lawyer, with elaborate
Offices in the Wall Street district.
With his law business Logan had
branched out successfully into real
estate and mine promotion The
g1amor of Mexico's mines and
lands was just beginning to inter
est Wall Street. At that very time
Logan was in a big Yaqui River
lands deal with Don Pedro Chisem
of Guaymas, and Don Carlos Co.
nant.
Upon previous occasions Greene
had appealed to Logan for assist
ance in certain promotions, but,
after submitting his contracts, data
and proposition. Logan had smiled
courteously at his crude prepara-
tons and microscopic funds, and
had outlined roughly an informal
plan which, if coupled with CON
crete proposition on promising
property, with a competent report
might interest him.
In due time Greene arrived in
New York on his Cananea cam,
paign. After meeting many typi-
cal rebuffs from metropolitan fnan-
ciers he bethought himself of Lo-
gan. An appointment was arranged
and Greene submitted Cananea.
The time was opportune and the
lawyer promoter was interested,

THE STORY OF CANANEA
After Many Failures Col. Greene
Finally Succeeded by Right
Methods and Publicity
(Nogales Oasis


From about 1898 to his retire
ment in 1907 the history of the
tremendous development of north
ern Sonora was practically the his
tory of Bill Greene, the celebrated
cowman-mine- promoter of Cananea
fame.
Within an incredibly short time,
from hamlet of few dozen peo-
pie he made Cananea a town of
some 10000 people, and created
one of the biggest copper mines in
the world, representing fixed in
vestment of around twenty million
dollars of outside capital, which
has since caused an annual out
pouring of metal the equivalent of
$4,000, 900 to $40, 900, 900 of brand
new wealth, year in and year out.
Incidentally Mr.. Greene became
Col. w. c. Greene, an honored
member of the romantic nouveaux
richie.
For thirty years Greene had been
a we1l-kuown frontier character
and miner -rancher of Indifferent
success. AS an on1ooker he had
witnessed personally many of the
phenomenal1y successful promotion
campaigns, such as Homestake,
Butte and Tombstone Frequently,
when he thought he had learned
the game. he acquired a contract
on some property and beseiged the
strongholds of capital from San
Francisco to New York. Up to
the Cananea episode, though he
had established a reputation as a
dead game sport, (" he had met
with Indifferent or no fundamental
success; and his loyal old miner
rancher friends along the San Pedro
had become somewhat skeptica1 of
Bills ability as fnancier.
However, in the copper boom of
some twenty years ago Greene OBJ
tanned a contract from the Widow
Pesqueira on the virgin mineral
ground which now constitutes the
holdings of the great Cananea
mines and smelter.
With this contract in hand Greene
once again persuaded his old time
local friends to rustic funds to send
him to San Francisco and New
York in order to interest capital
to develop the property. y
Greenes protracted trips and
long absence with but LITTLE definite
news caused his pals to have many
nisgivings. when suddenly he re-
turned, laconical1y announced to
his friends that he had raised the
money" to push his big operations
at Cananea, and told his hench-
men to organize the new camp and

antine No. 81. are having a great deal
Of difficulty in accepting the sincerity
OF the act; to them 1t looks as though
the Democrats have In this instance
totally eclipsed the protection ideas
Of the Republicans as exemplified by
the tariff.
The following is by c. NJ. Grulle
mans, ST., of the well known Holland
firm OF ]. ]. Grullemans & Son:
II wish to say a few words about
the American restrictions on trees,
shrubs and some kinds of bulbs.
should like to place the following
questions before the Federal Horti-
cultural Board of the United States:
Why are gladiolus bulbs excluded? Is
this because good number Of these
are grown in their own country? Is
this to protect their own trade? Why
are Spanish iris, ixias, scillas, bahamas
spir@as and hundreds OF other dubious
sorts excluded? Did any one ever sell
a cleaner nicer, brighter lot OF bulbs :?
Surely these do not bring insects into
the country Why are these excluded?
Glad to know.
Regarding Boskoop stock. since the
last hundred years the. Boskoop
nurserymen sent their trees, shrubs
and plants over to England, France,
Germany, Austria, Sweden, Denmark,

OF these countries ever complained of

planted this spring. There is time
now to do this important work IL 1t
mas not been attended to before. II
all the branches Of each newly planted
peach tree are not cut Off the chances
are the tree will die. One Of the most
difficult things to accomplish is to
get people to do this thorough trim
ming OF the peach. which Is more es-
sential than with any other fruit tree.
Apple. pear, plum, cherry and ounce
trees planted this spring should have
each branch cut back at least half its
length. I often cut back each branch
more than one-half its length. This
severe cutting back of branches of
trees at planting, or within a few
weeks thereafter, will mean success
where otherwise the trees might fail
to grow.
If the package Of trees sent by a
distant nurseryman has arrived in q
shriveled or dried condition, the proper
thing to do Is to bury the trees, top.
branch and body, in moist garden soil
and let them remain there a week when
the wood will swell out. Then cut the
branches back severely as 1 have
stated and the prospect is that the
trees will thrive.

and trees recently set out will send
