Secretary of State Root is now on a mission
that promises to be of great Importance to the
United States and TO all the Republicans on the
western hemisphere. 1t is great departure from
long established custom for cabinet officer to
visit neighboring countries and discuss with their
administration international affairs, but the pres
ent administration at Washington cares very lit
tie about precedents so long the thing
templated to be done is for the good of the
country
Mr.. Root is a man of practical ideas and
since he became the premier of the administra-
ton he has been looking into the matter of ex-
tending United States trade to the countries to
the south Of u.s. He has been impressed with the
idea that there is big market IN Central and
South America that is In danger of being monop-

THE PERSONNEL OF OUR CONSULAR SERVICE

Those who have had occasion to observe the
United States consular service in recent years
have noted distinct improvement IN its person
mel. Now that congress has passed a law reor-
ganizfng this service still greater things are ex-
pected Of it. In the old days one of the standing
jokes and constant sources of amusement when
there was change in the administration was
afforded by the horde of politicians who came to
Washington soliciting appointments to the United
States consular service. It was almost the excep-
in any way fitted for them. The story is still told

who was applicant for consular post of great

Now that the United States government has
made start in the direction of erecting suitable
legation and embassy buildings for our represent
tatives abroad it is hoped that before many years
the United States flag will fly over property that
this government owns in every prominent capital
abroad. The fact that American ambassadors and
ministers have had to rent their quarters abroad
has been disgrace to the United States dipIo-

The experience in Peking during the Boxer

MUST WE PAY THE PRICE OR FREEZE?

The prospect of fuel famine in Spokane this winter
is matter that directly affects every citizen 1t brings
face face with the possibility of not being able to
keep wives and babies And the promise OF fgd
quarters is not at all alluing to the who earns the
money to pay for coal wood when there is coal or
wood for SALE
Such condition would paralyze industrial operations
in addition to causing widespread domestic distress 1t
would hit this city the hardest blow suffered since the
fire. The town would simply be turned over to Jack
Frost and chbans would become the accepted badge OF
Spokane citizenship. What would become of the babies
is matter the mortality expert alone could estimate
The Press is not endeavorlng to create panic con-

that little careful investigation and early provision for
an emergency, if is imminent, will prevent suffering
There several curious features of the fuel scarcity
prevailing. Dealers claim their shipments are con
fscated by the railroads entrusted with delivery This
is denied by railroad officials and it certainly looks i'm
probable 1t also claimed that scarcity of labor at the
mines is responsible for scarcity of coal But aborers
were scarce for harvest and hoppclng yet the crops
have been gathered Railroad construction is progress
ing and other branches Of development, while doubtless

The details of the fuel business yelled to the

IF bunkers and wood yards kept empty until cold
weather in there will certainly rush for fuel

who is able and willing to-.
Under the circumstances it is incumbent on this city
to investigate the coal question and to insist that every
effort be made to forestall such contingency If
sudden supply is dumped into the city Immediately
following the first cold snap the situation will present
all the symptoms of combine in restraint of trade

MUZZLES MAD DOG WITH


MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 24-Minne-
apolis has an unknown hero who
refuses to come forward and di-
vulge his identity. When several
blocks of First avenue had become
practically depopulated through
fear of a mad dog, and all others
within sight of the animal were
flying for their lives, little man
sprang out of the crowd and, seiz-
ing the dog by the nose muzzled
him with a pocket handkerchief.
When he released the dog 1t ran
around in circle and finally
dropped dazed and helpless on the
pavement, wheer it was killed by
an officer In the meantime the
little man walked away, disdain-
ing to wait for his handkerchief,
and the most earnest eorts of the
reporters were of no avail in Sc
curing his name.

SOME eminent
bad MEN,

The fact that Dave Banks, who
had the record down in the Pecos
country, was killed by the Yaqui
Indians a short time ago, calls
forth several stories of eminent
bad men"
One of the "bebst" of the "bads"
is Martinez, who killed four men
before he was 20, and is now an
Arizona outlaw.
One afternoon while riding near
Laredo, Texas, he met a stranger
and asked for drink of water
The stranger replied that he had
but little, but that he was well
come to that. The bandit drank
the water and then shot the man
to death, with the remark:
You'll have more water next
time"
About 10 years ago Martinez was
discovered in a ranch house, and
20 rurales began to break down the
doors, but, while they weer doing
this the outlaw climbed a stairway
to garnet in which was small
window, and, mounting one of the
officers horses, rode off and es-
capped. Seven officers had a battle
with Martinez later, but he man
aged to escape with only slight
wounds.
The most miraculous escape that
Martinez is known to have had &C.
Cured on the plains in the Pan
handle Of Texas. Four rangers
sighted him riding along an open
| ing where there was no shelter for
at least a mile. They rode up and
the fight began. Martinez would
! face them until he had emptied his
Winchester and then would run his
horse until he had reloaded. Again
he would about face and shoot un
! til his gun was empty. A bullet
pierced his right side, but as the
! blood gushed from the wonud he
continued to fight. He received
! three other wounds and finally his
horse was shot from under him,
but he climbed down deep ravine,
got into timbered country and
escaped.
At one time Dave Banks had
"run-in" with one Virgil carp in
Barstow, n. M.
carp was running things in his
corner of New Mexico at that time.
One night in a poker game Dave
cleaned him. After the game was
over carp, sore as a barbwired
maverick, limited that Dave had
done some crooked dealing, and
that it might not be a bad thing
for Dave to vamOose.
Dave heard of the remarks two
hours later, and made straight for
the back room where he had been
told carp was playing seven-up
with bunch of his hangers-on. He
strobe over to the seven-up table,
gave it bang with his fist and
then stuck his face within four
inches of Earp's.
carp, for two bits and poncho
chucked in, I'd take those guns of
yours away from you and chuck
them down your gizzard! And
will give you this much the best
of it at that. you NANCY curl" And
! then he deliberately pulled both
guns from his own belt, slammed
them down on the card table right
alongside Earp's hands and stepped
five PAGES back from the taye, feel
ing for his knife.
Virgil carp simply wasn't there
in pinch.
"Oh, stop this foolin'," he said,
weakly, to Dave.
The latter walked back to the
table, picked up his guns stuck
them back into his belt. deliberate
~ swept the cards, which had been
replaced on the table, therefrom,
and walked out, not even taking
the precaution to walk out back
ward, thus showing his supreme
contempt for carp, who up to that
time had been counted the most
dangerous man in the two terri
tories.
