must be five acres for fifty skunks.
They must have space to run in and
fresh water at all times. Lack Of
fresh water and of space brings on
all kinds of ailments. Skunks are
as clean as pin in their habits and

skunks or shipping them they must

merely an experiment at

spreading it out in a shall

EDITORIALS,
A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

This dicussion upon knockers" and hammers"
and boosters and 'pussyfooters," that was preclp
tated in the recent municipal election, has oosened
such flood of Renaissance, and crowded into the
editorial mind such succession OF amusing incidents
all going to show that the people who make the great
est cry about fractional discord", hurting the town
have contributed more toward perpetuating that
factional dscord than all the rest OF the community
put together and the editor has been accorded so
much commentator for the exposures made already
that in good of trying to put stop to the back
biting and undetermined Misrepresentation that has
prevailed he is disposed to reveal little more OF the
peculiar tactics practiced by the certain element that
has been under criticism of late.
This time we will tell story abo!lt the Nogales
post office and the scrap this editor had to land Chas
L. Fowler into the job number of years back
Through some fourteen years the editor OF The
Oasis" was territorial executive committeeman from
Santa Cruz County in the territorial Republican COM
mittee. He was the "deus ex machna" Of the party
the machine so to speak, of the party in the county
And by virtue of that position he entitled to
big say so with regard to pOstmasterships within
the county, In fact to be post master an applicant
had to get an endorsement from the territorial ex-
ecutive committeeman.
The term of postmaster Miltor Bohal was about
expiring and Chas L. Fowler aspired to the appoint
ment. He requested and was given endorsement by
the territorial executive committeeman. At that
time Mr. l. BurgOOn at present county treasurer, had
departed from Nogales and was in business in Ray.
He sold out there and returned to Nogaes Straight
away Mr. Burgoon wanted to be appointed postmaster
at Nogales and he requested endorsement by the ter
ritorial executive committeeman. Now there was
no reason whv Mr.. Bird could not support Mr. Bur-
COON for the Nogales post office, except that he had
ALREADY endorsed Mr., Fowler Mr.. Bird had sup
ported Mr.. BurgOon for other offices in Santa Cruz
County and Nogales. and had Mr.. Burgoon beer the
first annlicant verv likely Mr. Bird would have en-
dorsnd him. But ne pledged to Fowler already,
and hn cow M reason for switching to Burgoon.
But Mr.. Burgoon and his supporters wanted Mr..

Bird to throw down Mr. Fowler which the latter felt
that he should not do, without some strong reason
The strongest kind of pressure was brought to bear
Through months the pressure described was ex-
erted; and the crowd supporting Burgoon used the
same "pussyfoOting" campaign that "The Oasis" has
criticised so much There several supporters
of Mr.. Burgoon who told Mr.. Bird every time they
met him that he would never succeed in putting Fow
Ter over.' Finally they became bold that they
told Mr. Bird that Mr.. Fowler's record against
him." When he was told that Mr. Bird had wrote
personal letter to the Postmaster General and he
put tine direct question: "Is Mr. Fowler's record
against him?'
Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock, whom Mr.
Bird had met personally. answered the letter himself
and assured Mr. Bird that Mr.. Fowler's record was
all right. Moreover Mr. Hitchcock assured d.: Bird
that Mr. Fowler would be appointed postmaster at
Nogales the matter came to due and prop
er consideration It several months after that
letter was written beore Mr.. Fowler appointed,
but Mr. Bird said nothing about it to anyone
Supporters of Mr. Burgoon kept approaching
MI. Bird. urging him to desert Mr. Fowler and telling
him that he "could land Fowler" and all those
weeks he listened to their chatter, saying nothing
but reading over occasionally the Postmaster Gener
ais letter, chuckling to himself at the knockers ne
dealing with.
And they moved Heaven and Earth, almost, in
their effort to put Mr.. Burgoon for postmaster

They were told that they must have endorsement by

They approached Ralph Cameron, delegate in
Congress, urging him to support Burgoon Cameron
told them the story; they must get the terrtori

going to Nh. Bird with the assurance that "Fowers
record against him. and that he Bird could not
put him over" Yet Mr.. Bird HAD "put Mr.. Fowler
over already and had the Postmaster Generals let
ter as authority for the fact.
The foregoing is cited as but another bit of evil
dence toward convicting certain crowd OF pussy
footn ""backbitng and other devious ways resorted
to by the element "The Oasis" has been exposing.
"The Oasis" has summered and winter
