Two Prominent Men of Welsh Take
HOmeSteadS in Mexico.

MeSSrS. J. A. Anderson and f. G.
Dobson returned from their trip to
Mexico, Sunday night. They were
gone about ten days, and each took
up a homestead in San Simon valley,
one hundred siXtv-iive miles SOuthw est
of Ell Paso, thirty miles from the Old
Mexico line and one and One-halt
miles from the Arizona line.
Mr.. DobSon has n 100 acre claim
and Mr.. Anderson, an so acre claim,
adjoining the town of Rodeo, a place
of about eighty inhabitants, situated
on good railroad, having a post
Office and several stores, Most of the
houses are adobe, finished nicely in
side and out, with markings to repre-
sent brick and stone, so that casual
observer would think them the real
article.
The San Simon valley is about
twenty miles wide and ninety miles
long and has an elevation of 1000
feet, with no MeXicans, no negroes,
no mosquitoes and no malarial fever.
Think of it, Mr.. Anderson said he
could describe the country as Inger-
soil said of hades: There were just two
things it lacked: society and water, p"
only the society is all right, but water
is what is needed. There is plenty of
surface water, good wells and plenty
of showers, but no wells for irrigating
purposes, as yet, though they are con-
tident of them because the country to
the east and to the west is we'll irrigat-
ed in this way. Granting that the ar
tesian wells are a failure, it is a rich,
| fertile country and fine for cattle.
The Hereford cattle are raised there
almost exclusively. The soil is an
adobe and does not hold water.
One of the objections to this section,
is the dust. There is always a cool
breeze and very cool nights, although
it is warm in the sun during the
heat of the day. Being so far south,
the winters are always mild. Mr..
Anderson laughingly said it was a
land literally flowing with milk and
honey" Several wears ago a man
brought great many Italian bees to
that country and many of them got
away and have multiplied until they
have actually covered that section,
and honey can be found stored ip
rocks, trees and every available place.
Money is abundant and he account
ed for it in this way: Only eighteen
miles from ROdeo is large copper
mine and at little greater distance
there are numerous rich copper mines.
| Wages are high, livingiS high, in fact,
everything is high. This country is
newly opened up and is being rapidly
homesteaded by American people.
there are thousands upon thousands
of acres yet open to the settlers. Mr..
Anderson expects to leave here just
as soon as he can make arrangements,
and will be joined in the spring by his
family. He says he has nothing
against Louisiana, but for the past
wear his health has been gradually
failing, and he believes the change
will be beneficial. Aside from his
own opinion that the climate is health

full, the fact that the United States
Commission, appointed to locate two
Sanitariums for its sailors and sol
diers, located one of these eighteen
miles from Rodeo, and be reasons
that Uncle Sam evidently decided this
TO be one of the healthieSt places in
the Union.

THE Wallace Times ia an intel
lectual edit-rial, which is copied
by the Harrison Searchlight and
that holting sheet tries to di,credit
Charles l.. Hoffman with reference
to county division matters. The
political crime of which he (Heit-
mani is accused reads as follows
IF he (referrirg to Mr.. Heitman)
permits the Kootenai county dele
CATION to support a county division
bill it will be such a bill as will
give Rathdrum the county seat. Of
one of the counties beyond doubt"
Come, smoke up Rip. If you will
read decision handed down by
our own supreme court on the
division bill which was proposed
two years ago you will find that
the court decided at that time that
a county could not be abolished.
Everyone of both parties under
stood at the last election that a
new county was to be created and
Rathdrum was to remain the
county seat of the old one. Just
why newspapers will resort to such
a method to discredit a gentleman
we can not understand. We be-
liove in fair play and any method
resorted to such as the above only
shows the opposition in their true

The question of japanese AMI
other immigration promises TO be
taken up by congress at this cim-
ing session. Statistics show that
immigration from northern Europe
is rapidly decreasing and a CORES
ponding increase from the latin
rae Of southern Europe. The
one is desirable. the other not.
Ag in the Japanese are pouring
into This country at a rate Of 600
to 1900 a n onth and with every
indication of a large increase in
tho-e figures as the years pass by
In one of our Pacific possessions
namely Hawaii, over IS per cent
OF the population is either Chinese
or Japanese and these labor so
cheapl that it is imposs bic for
our people to compete with them.
As a result the American laborer
has left Hawaii and returned to the
United States In Japan the aver
age wage paid for skilled labor is
less than % cents per year For
instance a carpenter in Japan gets
20 cents a day while our union
man usually demands t4.00 How
cou d al American plasterer who
averages $500 per day, compete
with them when eight Ups will
work ten hours for the same amount
paid one Ameri an in eight The
rapidly increasing immigration of
the Japanese and its effect upon
the American workingman's wages
is apparent and this immigration
must be restricted or cheaper
wages will result and the American
laborer forced to live in the same
manner as the Asiatic. The forced
immigration of one people was the
cause of one of one of the greatest
civil wars ever waged on the face
of the earth and is today a thorn
in the side of this natiun. The ex-
clusion Of theJChinese has proven
very beneficial and it could do no
harm to extend this and include
all Oriental peoples The old
threadbare argument that all men
are created equal and that we are
all brothers is alright when one
cares for sentiment only, but in
consideration OF this question we
believe that self-preservation is the
first law of nature and that, the
white race is superior to any and
all races.
A nations first duty is to her
people ana when done with that
duty it is time enough to look out
for your neighbors. Some PEG, lie
will naturally oppose legislation
appertaining to exclusion of the
Orientals because it may effect our
foreign trade with them but as
Senator Gearin says: "There is
something greater than money
something immeasurably mere de-
sirahle than the amassing of great
wealth it is the peace and good
order of the community and the
welfare and happiness of our
people.

 PETROLEUM WELL
BUSINESS MEN ARE DISCUSSING THE QUESTION OF BORING FOR OIL. WHICH IS THOUGHT TO BE UNDER THE SURFACE.

Huntsville, August 5.-(Special. )-Local business men are agitating the question of having a deep well bored for petro- leum in this locality and will either form an Independent company to back the enterprise or make up a purse to be offered as a bonus for some other company to take up the work. Gas has been found in abundance in more than half of the wells bored by the New York-Alabama Oil company, and no well has been sunk to a depth greater than 700 feet This is no test of the pros poets for oil and Dr. Smith, state geolo- gist, says oil will not be found at depth of less than 1000 feet or perhaps 9OOo feet. Every expert who has investigated conditions here believes oil can be found.
