w. II. Burton and sister of San
lon, were visitors Tuesday. Mr..
Burton tells us that San ion is
growing and that there is Z great
deal of building going OF both in
the town and in the surrounding
country. There is quite a coal ex-
citement in the San ION country and
Mr.. Burton is among the numbC r
who have the mining fever and be-
lieves that they have a reasonable
chance to make a profitable dis
covery. A coal mine at San Jon
would certainly be a great boost
to that section of our county.

Mexico for MpNicanS.

Mexico City. July 21.--The anti
foreign feeling in Mexico is assuming
large proportions, and bitter con-
troyersy over the question is being
waged between the foreign and ma
tive press. La Patria yesterday pub
lished an article IN which it pro-
claimed the time ripe for policy
whose slogan shall be Mexico for
Mexicans" Most of the TRADE is di-
rected against the Yankees" term
OF contempt used by Mexican editors
in designating Americans.
Among other things La Patria de-
clares that if Americans think the
governments of Argentine, Chile or
Brazil more enlightened than that of
Mexico, they should journey to those
pRrts, the sooner the better.
After referring to the efforts on
Che part of the foreigners to kill the
proposed new mining law restricting
corporations in Mexico, the paper
says:
We repeat our attitude toward
foreigners. We are not boxers, but
patriots, and when we take given
dertsior wc take it, not as against
foreigners, but for the benefit OF
Mexico"

$4,000 Eagles Expected at Seattle

Seattle.-The tenth annual session
of the grand aerie of the Fraternal
Order of Eagles. which will be held
in Seattle, August IL to 16, under
the auspices of the mother lodge of
the order, Seattle Aerie No. ], Is ex-
pected to attract perhaps as many as
$4,000 members from the United
( ltes, Alaska, Canada. the Philip
pines and the Hawaiian Islands.
About 100000 will be spent for the
entertainment of the visitors, and
$500 will be given in prizes for the
best bands, lodges having the great
est number of members, most hand
some banners, and in many individ-
ual prizes.
One of the features will be the
parade. August 13. Bands will in
clude the famous Boston and Mon
tana Band, of Butte, Mont; the
crack band of the Kansas City aerie,
and fife and drum corps from Wash
ington, Oregon, Montana. Utah, Cali
fOrnia and Colorado. Military bands
from Fort Lawton Puget Sound Navy
Yard, and other military and naval
posts will participate. Every band
in Seattle has been hired for the oc-
caSiOn.
1t will be II years ago on August
IL since the theatrical managers of
Seattle met to discuss some business
matters. The half dozen men in
dulged in walk and brought up on
the tide flats. Seated on a lumber
pile near the Moran Shipbuilding
plant, in a spirit of jest, officers were
elected of the Seattle Order of Good
Things" They met occasionally,
and fines were imposed on a couple
of the members at each meeting, and
the money used to buy refreshments.
At a special meeting of the new
order on March 70, 1898, one year
after the memorable session on the
lumber pile, the first steps toward
making the organization perma-
nent one were taken. 1t was decided
to change the name, and John Cort' S
suggestion of "Fraternal Order of
Eagles was adopted. The picture
of an eagle on the wall of the hall
gave Cort the inspiration. May 13,
1898, Secretary of State VIII d. Jen-
kins issued the charter for the Grand
Aerie, Fraternal Order of Eagles.

PICTURE LECTURE BOOMS.
Now Some Towns Advertise TheiI
Beauties to Other Towns.

There are many methods of getting
the attractions and advantages of q
town before the outside public if the
townspeople only care enough about
the matter to do something active and
actual in that line. One of the most up
to date methods of town booming is to
have good talker go from town to
town delivering a picture lecture"
about the place which is to be doomed.
The first thing, of course. is to have
about fifty or sixty lantern slides made
from photographs of places of interest
in and around the town. The slides
may be colored or left in black and
white. Colored ones naturally add to
the beauty Of the scenes in cases where
ioloring is indicated
The lecturer, who should be person.
ally acquainted with each building,
bridge, stream. park, landscape or per-
son represented, devotes u minutes
talk to each subject as the picture is
thrown on the screen. Half a hundred
pictures will make an evenings enter
tainment of an hour to an hour and n
AulA, SuIc W Uc cHJOy GU ny tHc pcoplc
Of the towns visited.
The outfit for a picture lecture costs
so little that the expense is scarcely to
be considered when whole communi-
ty is interested in the project.
There are towns in southern Caltfor-
MIA which maintain regular booming
Offices in Los Angeles, the metropolis
Of the district. At certain intervals pic
ture lectures are given, the dates being
advertised in the local press. The adj
mission is free Thousands Of tourists
from all parts of the country are at
tracted to the hall where the show
takes place. Many of these are attract
ed to the town which is the subject of
the show. Some of them buy lots,
start in business, build homes there.
The California idea can be applied
to any town elsewhere. Put your pic
ture lecture man in Il suitable hall in
the nearest city of considerable size,
and it is reasonably certain that before
very long inquiries will begin to come
and people will begin to follow the in
quiries. This is suggestion easy to
work out anywhere. IF nobody does
nothin', nothin' will be done"

the statue of General Robert E. Lee,
designed for Statuary Hall in the
National Capitol. Another of the
members of the commission return
fng from Providence is d. p. Halsey.
Son-in-law of Senator Daniel. Men,
bers of the commission are greatly
pleased with the statue. Virginia
has been represented for years in
Statuary Hall by figure Of Wash
ington, but the other niche to which
the Old Dominion is entitled has all
this time been vacant because the
legislature was willing to accept none
but Lees statue. When the bill was
introduced in the Virginia general
assembly providing for the appro-
priation of $4,000 for statue of
Lee for the second Virginia niche,
Msav oyr~essr1 the opinion that the
movement was ill-timed. The legis-
nature passed the bill and the COM
mission does not doubt that the
statue will be accepted.
