Use is Increasing.

Judging from the success with which the machines have met wherever they have been used it would seem that the day is coming when the American citizen throughout the land will register his vote by machine. At the present time about Most of them are in New York State, al- though they are being tried in Indiana, Wisconsin and Connecticut.
 Laws similar to the New York enact ment allowing the use of voting machines have been passed in the States of Maine, MassaC Chusetts, Ohio, Michigan, Wiscon- sin Minnesota Iowa, Nebraska. Connec- tiCut, Indiana and Kansas.
 At this years gubernatoTial election in New York State live ballot machines were used as an experiment in Greater New York. one being in Mayor Lows election pi ecinct and another in Lieutenant Gov ernOr Woodruffs district. They seem to have given complete satisfaction.

SHE'S QUITE A

And Help Of a Worthless Hus-
band Is Not Needed.

st. Paul, Minn. Aug. 12.--Mrs. Cath
crime McGroaty, whose weight is over
500 pounds, and who does rot travel
even on shopping excursions because
she cannot find a hack with a door big
enough to let her In, has filed suit for
divorce at Great Falls, Mont.,against
Barney McGroaty on the ground OF
desertion and non-support.
The Interesting question has arisen
how the trial Is to be held. There is
said to be no vehicle in the city other
than the truck used for hauling safes
sufficiently strong to transport the
plaintiff to the courthouse, and even
after she has been taken there doubt
10 expressed as to the possibility Of her
being able TO climb the stairs to the
courtroom on the second floor.
1t is suggested that the court may
have to enact the rule of Mahomet ms
recalled by the saying concerning the
prophet and the mountain. Mrs. Nc
Groaty, despite her magnificent proper
tions,is not ungraceful,and, in fact. is
quite handsome. She is nearly 5 feet
inches tall, and has well formed

HUNTING FOR EDEN.

He travelled in search of purer air,
And found where It was, one day, J.
But the water supply was beastly
there.
And so he declined to stay.
He hunted far to discover the kind {
OF water his health required,
But where it was he was panied to
find
| More winter than he desired.
He looked for climate to suit his
taste,
And he found just the kind, at last,
But all around was barren waste,
Where never a traveller passed.
So he hurried on and he searched
around
For climate and water and air,
But wherever n perfect thing was
found
Some other was lacking there.
He started in search of a healthfnl
place,
When his form was erect and strong,
When the color of health appeared in
hts face,
But his vfsage got pale ere long;
He travelled to keep bad health away,
He noticed his pallor and worried,
Till he found just the proper place one
day,
And there, on the next, was buried.

''In a way the driver is right" re-

as much right on the streets as the

whether they get out of the way every
time a gong rings. OF course, the street
cars have certain rights-and If team

ance, or some such charge, but the

The town mine records for 1882
show that there was great activity
in mining here at that early date.
Municipal records earlier than 1912
are lost, but is known that the town was
established considerably earlier than
that date. The records for 1894 show
amalgamating works and 20 smelt-
ers in operation.
Succeeding years show great fluctu-
ations in the output Of silver which is
undoubtedly due TO the fact that the
early methods of mining and reduction
were crude. and only the richer ores
could he mined with profit and Is the
old bonanza workings were exhausted
there would be q slump in the indus
try until new ore bodies were discov-
cred, 80 that there was no systematic
and continuous working of the same
mines. This is also inferred from the
record Of 100 years from 1920 to 1920,
which refer to Parrel as aboundng in
ore OF low grade. 1t is amusing to note
In this day of improved methods Of re-
ducing ores, that these low grade ores
carried so ounces of silver per ton.
The Parrel branch has scarcely been
completed three years. Previously the
ore was hauled by wagon to Jimenez,
SO miles, and shipped to the smelling
works at El Paso and other distant
points. 1t is stated that there are
mills at Parrel in the course of con-
struction, which will have capacity
to mill 1000 tons Of ore daily. Ten
miles southwest of Parrel lies Santa
Barbara, the oldest mining camp in
Northern Mexico. The town was
founded In 1547 by Spanish explorers
and in 1880 1t became the seat Of the
Spanish viceroy who ruled over Cali

of the United States as well as North

cost Of entertaining his royal visitor
at $4,000. If for this outlay the king
will leave behind him the large sum
above named and give a free show
all along the route, the visit will not
be a bad investment. A real king,
travelling with full retinue, will be
something new. Foreign princes are

One UNION is ENOUGH
PRESIDENT MlTCHELL'S TESTI-
MONY is ALL IN.
Anthracite and Bituminous Miners Do
Not Desire Separate
Organizations.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 2O.-After be-
ing on the stand for four and a half
days, President Mitchell, of the min
ers' union, completed his testimony
at moor before the anthracite strike
commission. He was followed on the
witness stand by Rev. Peter Roberts
of Mahoney City, a Congregational
minister, who has studied the anthra-
cite coal industry and has written
a book on the subject. He was still
on the stand when the commission
adjourned for the day.
One of the most important things
brought out during the crossexamina-
ton of President Mitchell today vas
his emphatic declaration that the
miners were opposed to the separation
of The bituminous miners from the
anthracite workers, thus creating two
organizations. He made this reply
to a question of former Congressman
Simon P. Wolverton, counsel for the
Reading company, as to whether 1t
would not be better to have separate
organizations.
Mitchell's answer was that lit
would not be possible or desirable.
The anthracite mine workers have
had Independent organizations in the
past. They have had several. They
have gone. They are not here now
and the men do not want any more OF
their organizations to go the same
way"
Commissioner Wright, the head of
the department of labor, in his report
to the president on the coal strike,
dated June Goth, suggested, among
other things, as reasonable and just"
to prevent industrial conflict in the
anthracite fields, hat "the anthracite
employees should organize an anthra-
| cite coal miners union, in it's auton-
omy to be independent of the United
Mine Workers of America" but it
I might be affiliated with it. There has
been some gossip among the small
army of attorneys at the hearings,
that the commission may possible sus-
gest such separate union, in fact MI.
Wolverton touched upon the matter,
and said that it should be seriously
thought of in some quarters. What
effect Mr.. Mitchelrs declaration VIII
have on the attitude OF the commas
| sioners, if this praise of h labor
question is taken up by them is, or
course, not known.
Non-union men, that is, those VINO
remained at work during the strike,
were made a party to the arbitration
plan today by their counsel agreeing
RI mako nublic the names of the men
who petitioned the commission.
