Hualdity and Temperature.
The Oasis editor has bad forced
( upon his mind i conclusion that in
the dry climate of Southern Arizo
na the freezing point is several de
grees below the ponß always stated
t and accepted from experiments and
observations in more hurnil atmos
pheres—viz: thirty two degre-s
above zero.
The Oasis is supplied with two
tested, self-registering thermome
ters—one maximum, and one mini
mum. These are the regular in
struments supplied observers by the
Weather .Jureau at Washington,
and were tested by experts in the
employ of the bureau at the nation,
al capital, in August and October
respectively. They are exposed on
the north side of the house and just
below them a few feet away is an
open olla partly li.llod with water.
On the west side of the house is an
open, metal bucket, which is like
wise generally partly tilled with’
water. Now repeatedly, during the
past month, has the thermometer
registered a temperature below the
freezing point; but in no instance
has ice formed on the water in
either vessel until the thermometer
had registered a degree of cold low -
er than twenty-seven degrees
above zero or more than live degrees
lower than the established freezing
point. Such was the case at day
light, Thursday morning of last
week, when the thermometer regis
tered 2 J. 91 degrees above zero, and
there was not a vestige of ice on
the water in either receptacle. To
make sure of the fact both instru
ments were “set,” and they veritied
each ocher.
Upon every occasion in which
the instruments have registered
below thirty-two degrees above
zero has the fact here stated been
noted; that ice has not appeared
on the water until the register was
close to twenty-six degrees above
zero: and consequently the infer
ence xs that, owing to the aridity of
the atmosphere, the freezing point
here is considerably lower than nor
mal, find that the lowest tempera
ture registered—nineteen and one
half degrees above zero—is but
about seven degrees below the act
ual freezing point.—Oasis.

A gentleman from Los Angelea
1 said : “From my point of view
i Arizona will lead the country in
■ three things—raising cattle., horses
* and hogs. You have the uountry
1 for alfalfa, the climate in which to
l grow thorn rapidly and the area re
■ quired. It will not be many
i before even California will come to
Arizona to buy much of her stock.
> Twenty years ago around Los
Angeles hundreds of heads were
grazing. The sann country is now
cut into large and small ranches
i aid the soil devoted to raising
fruit. You will soon realize the
need of improving the quality of
your stock and will then begin to
understand the possibilities of the
business. Republican. We will
also throw in many carloads of
luscious early fruits.
The Law Constitutional.
The integrity of the territorial
license passed by the last legisla
ture was sustaiued by the Supreme
Court last week. The case in which
this decision was handed down "'as
that of Emil Sydow, appellant vs.
Territory, appellee, which was ta
ken up from Cochise county on a
writ of habeas corpus
The appellant was represented
by Judge YV. H. Barnes and ; Hon.
Allan R. English. Sydow had
been convicted before the justice of
the peace for failure to take out a
license according 'to the require
ments, of the law. The ground on
which the appellant relied was the
unconstitutionality of the law.
It was claimed among other things .
that the law makes a discriraina- (
tion in the character of merchan
dise whose dealers are made sub
ject to the law, dealers in agricul
tural implements being exempt
from its provision, this exemption
being in contravention of that part
the federal constitution which
declares that
“The citizeils of each state shall
be entitled to all privileges and
immunities of citizens of the sever
al states.”
The exemption complained of by
the appellant was- held to be a
discrimiuation in favor of the pro
ducts of other states in which ag
ricultural implements are made as
against the products of this terri
tory which are not agricultural im
plements. In support of the ap
plicability of that article of the
constitution as quoted above to the
territorial license law, numerous
authorities were cited among wheih
was the opinion by Justice Brad
ley pf the supreme court, of the
United States in a matter in which
a tax had been levied by one state
upon liquors brought in fqr sale
from other states.
The writ was denied and the
petitioner remanded.

What Irrigation Does.
What irrigation uoes.
"|
r j It makes up for tin* irregular
* seasonable distribution of rain. It
* supplies more moisture thmi die
r animal rainfall for a particular
’ crop. It insures regular crops, it
' provides against partial or total
crop failures. It adds to the pro
* ductiveness of land and acts j as a
fertilizer. It enables the producer
to make a living upon a small tract
of land and thus insures an increase
of population.
It brings in capital, for money
lenders are not so loan upon
irrigated lands. It makes the far
mer independent and enables the
horticulturist, to grow any fruit his
land ,is adapted, to. Irrigation
buijcis towpp ( and cities, csiuses a
country to be developed and en
riches the man who judiciously ap
plies water to his land. -It gives
twelve mot*tbs ? of productiveness
and your land makes vegetation the
mosi rapidly ‘curing tha heat of
summer if "supplied, with .water.
With Water on'your land you can
make during the four hot months
by vegetables, berries, alfalfa, etc.,
more money than you cah make by
working twelve months at dry land
farming. Irrigation is live money
at interest, it yields a revenue
while the owner sleeps or rests.—

There is a novel scheme proposed
by a St. Louis doctor, and it is not
without some 'merit. The doctor
. i % rv [. f % >
in question proposes to fit up an
institution to take care of drunks,
to speedily restore a roan to sobri
ety who happens to take too many
“bowles.” This doctor proposes to
provide the means and the necessa
ry remedies to put a drunk on his
feet in thirty minutes, and in good
physical and mental condition to
do business. Baths, beds and all
the alcoholic antidotes will be found
in the institution. The doctor
claims that he can take a man that
is suffering in the morning from
the effects of a night's hilarity and
overdrinking, and put /him on hi s
fee'., without a nervous tremor, all
in the course of twesity U>: thirty

Two remarkable cases have oc

negro who was shot by a soldier
last Christmas is gettiug fat and
doing duty again after suffering for
several weeks with a bullet in his
brain. The piece of ’ lead is still
thera bdt : gives him no- trouble.
The otht** case is of a Mexican
stabbed by a white, man. The
Mexican’s bowels protruded and
were frozen before assistance reach
