A Correction.

GUAYMAs, Son., Nov. 3, 1902. To the Editor of THE CAsIs, Noga-
 les, Arizona.
 DEAR SIR:
 Referring to your interesting paragraph regarding the death of our mutual friend, Mir George Mon- tague, allow me to state that you are in error in saying that he had been in the employ of the Sonora railway from the beginning, hav- ing been with the surveying party which made the preliminary sur veys, the locating survey and upon the work of construction"
 The construction was commenced on the 5th of May, 1880, after all surveys had been made and ap- proved by the government, and MT. Montague did not enter the service of the Sonora railway until the month of July, 1880, when he was 31 years old.
 There is only one man in the service of the Sonora railway, at present, who has been working with that company since the 9th of May 1880. This is Arcadio Bojorquez, who commenced working with pick and shovel, and is at present round house foreman at Guaymas.
 Next to Bojorquez comes Mir. John c. Dougal, at present watch man at road crossing in Nogales yard, who entered the service in June, 1880.

administration admitted, it was stated,
that the act afforded no means Of reach
Ing the combination OF coal carrying roads
which was allied with the coal barons'
trust. And, although there is talk OF
amending the law so as to remedy Its In
sufficiency" with respect to such cases. If
We may Judge by the past tactics and sue
cess of the trust interests in manipulat-
ing Republican Congresses for their fur
ther protection, any change or ampliflca-
ton Of the act will be mere juggling.
BY the same token. and reasoning by
analogy end from experience. 1t would be
a monumental exhibition OF Sul'ib;lity on
the part of the people, to share the Press s
belief that during the rest Of the session
OF the present Congress any act will be
passed honestly looking to control OF the
trusts. It would be absurd to expect this
or any other Republican Congress to en-
act any real antitrust legislation. So we
say that our Philadelphia contemporary is
away off on It's logic. and goes far aficld
from the only solution Of the problem O:
controlling the trusts. which lies in Demo-
cratic control of the Government and
through that tariff revision.

ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.

The Roanoke Evening News says there
IS q gratifying expression of sentiment
over the State in favor Of Virginia max
Ing liberal appropriation for an exhibit
at the St Louis Exposition.
That accords with our observation Inc
Virginia press. which reflects public sen
t,ment in respect Of this matter, is nos
only practically unanimous in faVorins a
liberal appropriation for the purpose IN
question. but in many cases there is ur-
gent demand that it be made. 1t is COM
Ing to be generally recognized that VII
cinIa committed a grave hlunder in her
mast policy Of ignoring. SO largely the OPP
portunities for advertising her resources
presented by the great expeditions held in
the country. and there is an earnest call
upon the General Assembly to put her in
position 10 retrieve that hlunGcr.
AS our readers know. tie St. Louis Ex-
position will commemorate Mr.. jefferson
Louisiana purchase. which added an en-
sire to our territory. Therefore. there are
the strongest of sentimental reasons why
Virginia should he permanently repre-
.ented at the exhibition, and thus con-
tribute to its at,ractivcness and com
pletcness.
But 1t is obvious that there are also
,r,inentlv practical reasons which should
influence the State not TO neglect to be
handsomely in evidence during the occa
sion. Apart from the consideration that
2raditable Virginia exhibit at ST Louis
1ould attract the attention of people from
all over the world to our resources and
me inducements the State offers for the
investment of capital. 1t would porulali lie
and stimulate interest in our proposed
Jamestown teroentenary celebration. and
prove a potential factor in rendering that
affair a success.
Moreover. a liberal appropriation for
Virginia representation at the ST. Louis
Exposition would in a sense be an appro-
eriaticn for the tercentenary, and a per-
nanent exhibit illustrative Of our ma
terial wealth, under the auspices Of tho
State Agricultural Department. The vast
majority of the specimens that would be
gent to ST. Louis would be of an enduring
charac ter. and capable'of being employed
in advertising The States industrial and
undeveloped resources. Let us hope. there
fore. that the Legislature Will prove as
alert touching the opportunity the St
Louis Exposition holds out 20 Virginia as
the people and the press are showing
themselves to be.
