Dispatches say the doings on the
coast of Chill of the japanese steam

proximity of the American battle

when she arrived at Tocopilla, 140
miles from Iquique The fact that
the vessel spent twenty-four days be-
tween these two ports leads to the
suspicion in some quarters that she
has been observing the progress of
the American feet or studying the
Chilean coast in the vicinity of To-
copilla.

Yaqui War Ended.

News of the settlement of the Yaqui Indian trouble in the state of Sonora, will be learned with rejoicing all over Mexico and throughout the United States.
 Peace terms have b en made and the Indians are surrendering, and it Is thought that in few days all the In- dians will have agreed tc the terms and peace will again reign supreme where heretofore war and rumors of war were the order of the day.
 The Indians ask the Mexican gov ernment to grant them full pardon, return their families from Yucatan, give them land to cultivate and 5uild churches at specified points between Hermosillo and Guaymas
 Now that the Yaqui troubles are ended, watch the state of Sonora grow Millions of American dollars are in vested in our sister state, the best in the United States of Mexico, and hundreds of people will rush into the rich mining and agricultural sections just as soon as the news of peace with Indians Is learned throughout the country.

interesting to StockraIsers.

The illcgality of charging graz ing fees on forest reserves is being threshed out in Washington by our congressman-at-large George W. Cook who is reaching up for Pinchot in a way that is likely to put that grafter over the ropes. General Cook proposes to bring Pinchot~ before the committee on agriculture for cross-examination. He will ask by what authority the bureau of forestry has been collect ing q grazing fee for use of land belonging 10 the people, by what right fee is collected for. the cut ting of timber from the miner, the stockman, the millman and the farmer, when no authority is vested in the forestry bureau, except an opinion of the attorney general. Pinchot has been promising to make test case in the courts re- garding the validity of these fees, but as yet nothing has been done for he is evidently afraid to tackle the question in court of equity. Meanwhile he is inducing cattle men to build so-called drift fences in order to cop out his own do- main and keep off the cattle of those men who do not propose to pay the tax. The whole question is a constitutional one and we are trying to find out if some bureau crat in Washington can usurp the business of congress in authorizing taxatin.-EX.

MEXICAN EDITORS MEET.
OrganIzatIon of Press Association of the States Of Mexico.

1 Last Wednesday night Mir Aureiio Perez P.n,, editor and proprietor of Fl Lnparcial. one of the best news- papers in the state of Sonora, publish = ed at Guaymas. accompanied b7 his bright little son, Aurelio. returned from Aguascalientes, Mexico, where he had been to attend the meeting of newspaper men from the states of the ] Republic of Mexico, not including the federal district, in which Mexico Oity. the capital of the Republic, is located
 Stior Perez Pena. who was the only man from the state of Sonora present at the congress, was very enthusiastic over the meeting which resulted in the organization of the Press Association of the States of Mex ico, which will undoubtedly result in much good and greatly increase the influence of the press in Mexico, where there has never been the same freedom of the press as that enjoyed ] Tn the United States, where "spade is a spade" and President Roosevelt and Carrie Nation are given free ad- vertisements.
 The congress lasted five days during which eight meetings were held at which questions of great interest to the newspapers and the United States of Mexico were discussed, forty news papers being represented, there being twenty-one editors present in person.
 Among the resolutions passed by the Press Association, was one asking the Mexican Congress to remove duty on print paper, which at present, con- sidering the high, outrageous price charged by grafters in these great United States of America, IS almost prohibitory, and Mir. Perez Pehl be- lieves the request of the association will be granted.
 TIE BORDER VIDETTE congratulates the United States of Mexico upon her new Associated Press Association, which we understand will in the near future become an international asso- citation for the betterment of the press on both sides of the line.
 Sonora was ably represented by Editor Perez P, na. who loves his state and her people. He is working like a Trojan for the betlerment of condi- tions in our sister republic and should receive the united moral and financial support of our friends across the border.
 The following officers and directors were elected at the Press Association, for the ensuing year:
 President, Carlos R. Menendez, Edi. tor of "La Revista," Merida, Yucatan.
 Vice President, Rafael Martinez, representative of 'El Amigo de la Verdad," Puebla and Ideas Nuevas," Orizaba.
 Secretary. Luis Rosado Vega, of "L1 Revista," Merida.
 Treasurer, Silvestre Terrazas, Editor of "El Correo," Chihuahua.
 Sub-Treasurer, Lie Francisco Mar tinez Ortiz, Editor of "El Nuevo Nun. do" Torreon, Coahuila.

THE TYPHOID At PEEKSKTLI.

The disastrous epidemic of typhoid fever at
peekskill is probably waning and we may
hope for its speedy extinction. 1t Is lso TO be
hoped that its cause will be made Enthusiastically
plain and will be thoroughly removed. AS is
usual in such cases, uncertainty as 10 the cause
prevails and various theories are put forward,
not, however. including that time dslonored
of ''act of God" ''inScrutable diSpenSatiOn
of Providence for which We may be grateful.
There are some diseases the origins of which
appear TO be at present undlscoverable and
/ there are Affections of the human family which
seem to be in our present imperfect state of
knowledge inexplcable; but typhoid is not one
of them. There is probably no disease Of which
. the origin and development are better under
Stood of which the course and source may
more certainly be traced, or of which the con-
tnued prevalence is less excusabe.
The statement Of the health officer of Peeks-
kill points, we believe, unerringly TO the secret
OF the epidemic. The cases, of which there
have been III in a community of about twelve
thousand inhabitants, have been widely. geper-
ally and indscriminately distributed. That fact
points to some wide and general source. The
disease might have been borne by oysters, but
not all the afflicted families ate oysters. 1t
might have been III milk, but not all of them
got milk from the same source. But the munich
pal water supply was common to all All those
stricken with the disease used town water.
while in two large local institutions with seven
/ teen hundred inmates, in which no town water
was used, but the supply was had from artesan
wells not case OF fever occurred. If those
/ circumstances do not indicate that the water
was the medium Of infection, we cannot under
/ stand their purpOrt. Perhaps we must say
/ with Carlyle that 'one IS not sure only morally
/ certain that the disease was in the water
! But in such cases moral certainty should be
/ sufficient.
II is moreover, known that a camp of about
/ thirty Italian laborers has for some time been
settled on the bank of the stream which sup
/ plies Peeils1il with water. True much vigi-
| lance has been exercised 10 prevent them from
/ communicating the stream. But in such cir
cumstances the efficacy of ordinary methods of
guardianship is much 10 be doubted True
also, no known case Of typhoid has occurred
in that camp. But il is perfectly well known
| th;,t persons who themselves are apparently
! quite free from the fever can and do impart
New-York tribune., 1908-02-24

the germs of the disease TO others. 1t IS not d
question whether there has been typhold IN Tue
camp but simply whether it has been physlcaly
nossible for sewage from the camp to get INTO
the stream or for any member of the camp 10
contaminate the water We do not suppose tnat
ANYBODY would venture TO answer those ques-
in the affirmative affords a presumptive ex-
PLANTATION of the epidemic which must De ac-
cepted as correct in the absence or posluVe
proof to the contrary, which as yet Is not rorth-
coming
1t is curious thing that in this PeeKsklh
case, as in the almost precisely similar haiolaD
case last wear which was discovered by Inc
Tribune and corrected through the urglngs OF
this paper laborers should have been perihltteo
