E.G.N0RT0N BUYS Takes Over Community Inter est of William Tate in
 Furniture.
SCANDAL OF MAIN
 ST. HOTEL CLOSED.
Norton Will Now Dispose of Property of His Temporary Partner, Alice Tate, and Again Lease the Property.

By purchasing the one-half commun- ity interest, claimed by William Tate to be his in the furniture in the Nor ton house in this city, E. G. Norton has solved the problem which has been thorn in his side and which has proved bar to his getting peaceable possession of his Main-street hotel for several days.
 By purchasing Tate's alleged half interest in the furniture, Norton be- comes temporarily a partner in the ownership of the furniture of Mrs. Alice Tate, wife of William Tate, and who is travelling abroad.
 Norton will now proceed to dispose of the property of his erstwhile part ner by levying on same under a claim for debt.
 The history of the affair was given in the columns of the Review some days since, when Tate held Norton and the officers at bay with a gun, since which time Norton and his at torney, J. NJ. O'Connell, have tried every fair means to induce Tate to allow them to take over the property on the claim of Norton for debt. Fail ing in this, and rather than have a law suit on his hands, Norton bought outright the interest which Tate claims to have in the property and thus got the latter out of the fight The trouble arose from the inabil- | ity of Tate to meet the terms of his | wife's lease, owing to the fact that tenants to whom he had sub-iet the premises had no: paid him.
 Mir. Norton will now lease the prop erty to other parties before returning to his home in Liberty, Me.

THE FL TIGRE MINE.

According to reports there has re- gently been move on the checker board of the litigation involving the ownership of the Fl Tigre mine which will put the B. F. Graham crowd prac- tically out of business It is stated that the Fl Tigre company has now secured the control of the majority of the stock of the Ensenada Mining Company, which has been seeking to oust the Fl Tigre company from the ownership of the big gold property.
 This will be joyous news to the peo- pie of Douglas, if it proves to be true. and that the end of this litigation is near at hand, not that the people Of Douglas are interested in the property in any material way, but because the ending of this lawsuit will put the Froperty back to condition Of active work which will mean the employment of several hundred men who will all be supplied from the business houses of this city.
 Since the litigation began there has only been small force at the Tigre, and the business interests of this city have suffered as a result of the tie-up. The attempt to secure the Fl Tigre mine by B. F. Graham, who went to the property with an armed force and secured possession from those who were in charge and operating it for the Fl Tigre company, created a sen. sation here and throughout Sonora, where the property is located. It was predicted at the time that such move would not be countenanced by the Mexican courts, and that if such a thing could be successfully done in that country it would result in causing 2 condition of uncertainty of titles in Mexico which would cause capital tc hesitate before investing there.
 The litigation over the Fl Tigre mine has been one of great expense to both sides of tie controversy. Emi nent lawyers were engaged by bott sides. who practically devoted theii entire time to the various suits fol nearly year. In Mexico lawyers oi known ability were retained, and, be sides, both sides had numerous detec tives and special agents scattered around at every point where it was probable that useful knowledge might l be obtained.
 If the end of the Fl Tigre litigation is near at hand, it means an early ad dition to the trade of Douglas, as there is no longer doubt of it's immense val ue. It has been predicted that the orc bodies already developed would justi fy reduction plant many times larger than the one now there, which could be run for many years. It is agreed that the Fl Tigre is the richest gold mine in the state of Sonora

ROOSEVELT A POLITICIAN.

POLITICIAN.
 Every day it becomes more appar- ent that Theodore Roosevelt is noth. ing more nor less than a politician. He has laid down every important principle for which he has declared himself in favor with blare of trum- pets when the leaders of his party have so decreed. The latest and most unmistakable evidence of this is to be. found in the way he surrendered his contentious on the railroad rate bill to the big republican bosses in the Senate When he had the opportunity to secure a rate bill laong the line marked out by him, and which had re ceived the applause of the country, he deserted those who were willing to assist him and allowed the political bosses to amend the bil. until the au- thor of the House bill was unable to recognize the measure after it had passed the Senate.
 It is well remembered that ,Presi- 5 dent Roosevelt has declared several times to be in favor of tariff reform, in the lowering of duties on the trust. controlled products. but at the dicta. tion of the politicians he has failed in any of his messages sto recommend such measure
 The people of the country, who, a year ago, had confidence in the pres. ident and were led to believe that he vas sincere in the declaration for re forming the present trust-ridden con dition of the country, no longer expect anything from him which Aldrich Lodge and the other republican Senate leaders are not willing to accept.
 It has been demonstrated clearly that when the issue is governmental principle against the leaders of the party. the president will yield to party every time. His acts point to the fact that he thinks more of the sue cess of the republican party than ht does in the success of the industrie. of the country.
 While he made grand stand play on the evening of his election as pres ident in 1904 by issuing a declaration that he would never again seek tht high office, there is a general belle that he is now playing his politica cards with a view of becoming tht nominee of his party in 1908.
 Solfar as the democrats are concern ed, they: should pray for the nomina ton of Roosevelt. He has served il the high office of president, and il every test he has yielded to the ''stant patters," who are determined that tn, trusts of the country shall not be dis turbed in their feastipg on the indus tries of the country. With Roosevelt as the candidate, there can be no fuI ther promises of trust busting. There can be no promises of relic from the high protective tariff which i sucking the life blood of the nation The people of this country are full alive to the conditions which hay piled up the wealth of the nation int the hands of the few, ana they are flu ly determined that a change in thes conditions shall be brought about, s that there may be restored hope C reward for energy and labor The will no longer be deceived into expec ing anything in this direction frof Roosevelt and the stand pal" gan who control him absolutely.
