NInkc War on Salvation Army.

Joplin, Mo, Aug, 1S.--If the declar-
cd intentions of Mayor Lyon are car
rlcd out a lid will be put on the local
members of the Salvation army to-
night in case they attempt TO hold
a meeting at the corner of Fourth
and Main streets Many complaints
have been made by the business men
Of that ncighborhood, who say that
the Saturday night meetings of the
army block the traffic for both vehi-
cles and pedestrians. When the mat
ter was brought to the attention of
Mayor Lyon he declared that he
would have enough officers on the
scene tonight to move the army, even
IL it required the entire force. Be
lieving that their God-giyen and con
stitution- guaranteed rights of free
speech are being infringed the army
will probably attempt to hold its
meeting as usual and the ungodly
are awaiting with considerable curl
osity the result Of the clash between
the soldiers of the Lord and the blue
coated minions of the law

He did not return TO Chicago, how

on examination OF the bank It was

The police department had been
notified officially that one fthc Of

The suspicion of the depositors was
aroused by the sight Of the police

PORTALEs, NEW MEXICO
Tho Metropolis Of Inland Valley.

Inc metropolis Oh lhlhHu Nall'S'
From the Manufacturer and Realty
Record, Dallas, Tex.
Portalcs is located on tho Pocos
Valley railway, in tho Inland valley.
II Is the county scat Of Roosevelt
county, which has an area OF fifty
by sixty miles, The topography of
the valley shows II to be the head
waters of the Brazos river II shows
that at ono time there was river
running through II, possibly the
Pecos river; some great upheaval in
the ages past evidently changed the
course Of the Pecos TO where IL now
runs; he that as II may, II is a fact
that there Is an incXhaustiblo sheet
of water in the valley to be had in
wells eighteen to twenty feet deep.
Seven years ago the writer made
his first trip over the PeCos valley
railway. Then Portalcs had just
been surveyed. II consisted Of few
shacks, mostly tents. From here to
Roswell, ninety miles, there was not
a house in sight on the railway. Now
Portales has thirty-nine business
houses, population of 1900, four
hotels, two lumber yards two banks,
three churches, splendid court
house and jail, each built of cement
stone, two newspapers, good public
school and bonds issued to erect
another of brick at cost OF $4,000.
Since Portales was made tho coun-
ty scat, about three years ago, 1t
has grown and Is still growing rap
idly. 1t has one of the richest por-
lions OF New Mexico to support 1t,
which is also rapidly increasing in
population. Doubtless Portales will
soon make n city OF four or Eve
thousand people.
Since tho first attempt at farming
here seven years ago, the seasons
have been uniform and crops good.
The average annual rainfall for that
time has been twenty-three and one
half inches, which Is sufficient to in
sure fairly good crops anywhere, but
more especially here, because the
water underneath, near the surface
causes the soil to hold the moisture
and to resist drouth of several
weeks
The soil is a rich red sandy loan,
with streaks Of sand in some parts
OF the county. The chief agricultural
products are corn, milo maize
Kaffir corn, oats and wheat. As a
wheat country 1t ranks with the
best, an average of twenty bushels
to the acre; but as there are nc
-four mills in the county the farmers
have not been encouraged to raise
It.

Violation Of Principle.

When the attempt Is made to apply
the principle Of reciprocity to interna-
tiOnal trade in a country where the pro
tective system is established 1T is at
once found that If the attempt is to be
successful some domestic interest must
be subordinated or sacrificed to the at
tainment of the end in view. Some
American producer must be deprived
of at least part Of the protection which
he is now receiving in order to enlarge
the opportunity of his German compeu-
tor. This is not only an individual
hardship, but it Is violation of the
principle upon which protection rests
and by which alone it can be justified,
the principle that is for all alike, that
it must be for all or none. and herein
consists the crux Of the reciprocity
problem. 1t seems to be for the greater
benefit of the country that it should up
hold the protective principle in it's In
tegrity, for the abandonment of sin
gle interest would threaten the whole
position.-Philaoel oelphia Inquirer.
