W|LtTAX OUR WHEAT:
BIG CROP IN MEXICO TO CAUSE
RESUMPTION OF TARIFF.
Product Said to Be Best Raised in Sis
ter Republic in Many Years-cs-
real Is Displacing Corn as
Food Staple.

Monterey, Mexico.--It is not proba-
BILE that the Mexican government win
extend the reduced duty privilege on
wheat from the United States, The
native crop is reported to be the best
that has been raised in the republic
for many years, and for this reason II
is thought that the duty OF three cents
per kilo OF wheat will again go into
effect Immediately. Large shipments
of wheat from the United States are
now coming into Mexico and the heavy
traflc will continue for some time.
The Monterey -four mill, one Of the
largest mills In Mexico, has more than
1,000,0 900 bushels of wheat contracted {
for, mostly from the United States.
The railroads will be busy for the next
ten days shipping wheat to the diifer-
emit mills in the republic from the
United States, where a large crop has
been raised.
ION account Of the good crops which
have been raised in the northern part
of this country think that 1t is likely
that the full duty will be placed back
on wheat, beginning this MONTH" said
Ernesto Madero of Monterey, who is
interested in the Touring business in
Mexico.
THE crops in Coahuila, Chihuahua
and Durango are all reported to be in
excellent condition, though those in
the southern part Of Mexico are prac-
tical failure. On account of that
wheat in this section will be much
cheaper than at Mexico City, which
fact may possibly determine the course
of the action which the government
will take in the matter in favor of an
other extension of the reduced duty.
But IL the reports of the northern
states are to be believed the largest
crop In the history Of Mexi o has been
raised and | think that to protect this
the full duty will be put into effect.
mo matter what will be done, the
mills in which am interested will be
little affected for at east year to
come, for we have laid in large sup
ply of grain and are still buying more.
The wheat raised here Is Of as good a
quality as the best produced in the
United States. and soon expect to see
Mexico become self-sustaining in that
respect"
Most Of the mills are amply supplied
with wheat and are turning out -four
y rapidly ~ possible. Wheat h rap
dly taking the place Of corn a. the
'ood staple in Mexico. except with the
ooorer classes. who still rely on the
,orn cakes. Over so mills are in oper-
Ition in the republic, turning out hour
y rapidly as possible, but the price OF
lour remains the same showing how
yreat is the demand.

OFF FOR CUBA NOW
Secretary Taft Has Proclaimed Him
self Provisional Governor and
Called for Troops.
RUSHING FORCE TO FRONT
viii Mobilize M Newport News
5000 to Go Mt Once-AIl Quiet
ON the Island Now and NO
Trouble Expected.

Havana, Cuba, Oct IAN American
provisional government assumed pos
session of Cuba Saturday when Sec
rotary of War Taft's proclamation
declaring himself provisional govern
or of the island was formally issued.
The proclamation was published in
the Official Gazette and thousands Of
printed copies OF the document were
distributed in Havana and elsewhere.
The terms of the proclamation
caused general satisfaction, especial
ly on account Of the moderate terms
In which 1t Is phrased, its statement
that the provisional government Of
Cuba Is undertaken only on account
Of the necessities of the situation and
It's promise that the provisional gov
eminent will be maintained purely
for the purpose Of restoring peace,
order and public confidence until
permanent government is established.
No one appears inclined to doubt the
good intentions of President Roosc'
welt and his representatives and there
Is no apprehension of any serious
trouble or resistance to provisional
government in any part Of Cuba.
American troops now are moving
toward Cuba. Mobilization Of the
forces will be at Newport News, Va,
Tor the most part, although a part OF
the first expeditionary force to Cube
will be sent from New York and
Tampa, Fla. Advices received at
the departments of the military estab-
lishment of the government Sunday
indicate that all is quiet In Cuba, and
that the insurgents intend to lay
down their arms. The probability Is
that United States forces in the island
will be landed only as preccautlon-
airy measure. So far as officials are
advised, no trouble Of serious kind
Is anticipated, but in accordance with
instructions from President Roose'
welt hurried preparations are being
made for the sending of an expedi-
tlonary force of the army to Cuba.
The first American troops will be
landed at Havana next Saturday.

DTS from the American fleet in Cuban

FLOCK OF PARIS BALLOONS
Sixteen Representing Seven COun-
tries Sailed from French Capital.
They Averaged Over 1000 Cubic
Metres CRDRcity-In Competition
for the Gordon Bennett Cup.

Paris, Oct. 1.-Sixteen balloons, av
eraging over 1000 metres capacity
each and representing seven coun
tries, sailed away from the Tuillerles
gardens, in the heart Of Paris. Sunday
afternoon In the first competition fol-
the Gordon Bennett cup for interna'
! tional aeronauts.
/ The contest was primarily q long
distance race. The date had been
carefully selected when the prevailing
winds are from the west in the hope
Of giving the aeronauts an opportuni-
ty to break the record Of Count de
La vaulx, made in 1908, when his bal
loon landed In Korostycheff, Russia,
having covered a distance Of 1,185
miles In IS hours and 40 minutes.
But Sunday the wind was light, hard
ly more than eight miles an hour, and
from the east, thus making the shores
Of the Atlantic the limit Of distance
and robbing the occasion Of its
chance as test of long distance
aerial travelling.
On this account the race was a
keen Disappointment to the aeronauts,
who had come from every corner OF
Europe. The rules Of the contest pro
vlded, however, that in case Of unfa-
vorable atmospheric conditions the
judges could, at their option, make the
test one Of endurance to remain In
the air.
Nevertheless, as q spectacle the
event was a brilliant success II is
calculated that over q million people
saw the balloons as they sailed away.
The start was preceded by the
flight Of hundreds Of trial balloonettes
and the loosening Of 500 homing pig
cons.
Each contestant Is an experienced
aerial pilot, but contrary to expecta-
lions Santos Dumont, one Of the two
representatives Of the Aero club Of
America, proved to be the only one
to inaugurate a novelty. For the pur-
pose Of keeping afloat a. long as pos
sible he had equipped his car with a
six-horse power vertical propeller
with the object Of lifting and lower
Ing his balloon without disccharging
any Of its precious ballast The en-
thusiastic cheers Of the multitude
which greeted the ascent Of Santos
Dumont showed that he was q favorlte |
and quite as popular as his French |
rivals.
Each balloon carried a sealed re-
cording barometer to work for "a
hours and a number Of envelopes to |
be thrown out every two hours In
order TO mark the individual trail

fact was called to the attention of Presi-

this country, that an amendment be adopt
ed returning to the practice that former

In proportion to numbers. the mem
bers of the Mormon church pay more TO
support their system of ecclesiasticism
than is paid by any Christian COM
munity in the world.
While the hierarchs below their is-
norant criticism at evangelical minis
ters-charging them with preaching for
hire and divinlng for money-they
themselves inculcate and enforce the
practice upon their followers of
tithe payment by the Mormon toilers,
the aggregate of which is revenue for
the church of about $4,000. 900 per an
num- and. in addition to this single
fund which passes into the unaccountcd
keeping OF the trust Joseph
F. Smith, to be distributed by him ac-
cordlng to his selfish purpose, there is
an aggregate OF many times as heavy
taxes upon the Mormons for their mis-
sionary service and the local support Of
the meeting houses. the poor. etc, To-
gether the total cannot be less than
$40 1000. 900, which the people pay-all for
the aggrandizement OF the twenty-six
OF the hierarchy.
The Mornons comprise a total popu-
lation of men. women and children. ap-
proXlmately three hundred thousand
souls. OF these not more than one-half
are adults. OF the probable one hun
dred and fifty thousand adults not more
than seventy-flye thousand arc men, or
more than thirty thousand are genuine
tithe payers-for the church holds upon
its books tens Of thousands of names of
people who are not practically observ-
ers OF the law or instruction concerning
tithe paying. These thirty thousand
heads of families-if there be so many
must carry the entire annual charge
of $40, 900. 600, which Is approximately
the cost Of the Mormon ecclesiastical
system. A division represents 1893 80 1-3

ken into account the fact that the
average Mormon is a small farmer or a
