under which the United States was to
join in the inquiry through any
persons appointed by it with the
right to examine and cross examine
all witnesses concerning past, pres
ent and future proceedings and with
the right to inspect and copy all in
scriptions on the registration lists
and to attend all sessions OF the
registration and election juries.
On May Is the commission was
appointed and went to the various
places of registration in the districts.
The Panama authorities consented
that the registration should proceed
for ten days, from the 18th to the
25th, and this was teIegraphed Of.
ficially all over the country.
subsequently, three governors,
known to be in favor of Obaldia,
the opponent of Arias, were removed
from Office by the president because,
as he informed Governor Blackburn,
he did not propose to have anybody
in Office opposed to the government.
The other four governors are Arias
men. The government has increased
by eleven the ELECTORAL votes which,
under the law, may be cast by Colon
for president, Colon being under
stood to be an Obaldia district, and
has increased by five ELECTORAL votes
the representation from the prov
ince of Los Santos, which is under
stood to be a province likely to vote
in favor of Arias. Il

dispatch received from President
Roosevelt as follows: "You are au-
thorized to say to President Amador
that the government Of the United
States will consider any attempt at
AN election Of his successor by
fraudulent method or methods which
deny to large part Of the people
to vote, constitutes disturbance Of
the republic, Of which, under Pan
ama's constitution, requires the In
PREVENTION of this government. We
will not permit Panama to pass into
the hands Of anyone SO selected and
failure to comply with laws giving
to the people Of Panama an oppor-
tunity to have their names entered
in the registry of voters. It APP
pears in advance wrong has been
done sufficient to invalidate the cleo
ton, and if the facts are as they
have been represented to you, the
wrong already done must be remid-
led and fair registration list made
up. In case we find occasion for
intervention 1t will be necessary for
this government to consider what
steps it will take to make redresS
Of the wrong done and prevent rep
etition in the future"
The first answer to this commune
cation received by Secretary Taft
from President Amador was denial
of any fraudulent election and re-
fusal to take any of the steps sug-
gested. subsequently an agreement
was reached between the Panama
authorities and the American minis
ter and Commissioners Goethals and
Blackburn, together with the general
counsel Of the commission, by which
Panama agreed to create commits
sion of electoral inquiry to investi-
gate complaints Of all parties and

Secretary Taft in letter deliver
ed to President Amador in person,
dated May 10. suggests that two
years ago when charges Of fraud
we're made concerning the congress-
ional election at Panama it was not
thought best to do more than urge
fairness in the administration OF the
election laws.
Some very weighty evidence was
introduced" he continues, t.to show
that there were many who had been
deprived Of their constitutional right
to vote 8in that election and there
was much evidence OF violence and
repeating by the police in the cities
of Panama, Colon and elsewhere. No
active Intervention, however, was at
tempted by the United States gov
eminent and it was hoped that the
irregularities Of the last election
were due merely to the fact that
the election laws were new and that
at more important election like the
presidential election to follow, great
er care would be taken to preserve
the rights of citizens. The interest
of the United States In the fairness
Of elections of the republic Is man
ifest. The United States guarantees
the integrity Of the republic and
this involves recognition by 1t of a
lawful government. II fraud Is to
intervene in an election SO that a
dispute arises as to who are elected
authorities. then 1t becomes necces-
sary for the United States in the
discharge Of its treaty and constitu.
tfonal duty to determine who are
lawfully elected officers In order
that it may recognize them and deal
with them as such. More than this,
every fraudulent election involves
force and violence in the election
itself which necessarily endangers
the peace of the canal zone, and il
exceedingly likely to arouse In the
party defeated by fraud and violence
a disposition to resist the fraudu.

| tute a rebellion. The United State.

No opinion was expressed at the
war department whether these cir
cumstances were leading to fraud
requiring Intervention. It was said
the government could do nothing but
await events and then sum up the
evidence and reach a conclusion.

Alton Saltefs Dead.

The many friends of Alton
Emmet Salters will be grieved
to learn that he died at his home
near Trio on Thursday, Oct. 18th,
after a short illness. The cause
of his death was hemorrhagic
fever.
Mr.. Salters, the only son of
the late Covert NJ. Salters by his
first wife, Miss Alice Mccullough
was born May l9, 1873, and was
at the time of his death only
thirty years of age.
Afew years ago he was happi-
ly married to Miss Maria Brown
of this county, who survives him.
He was a young man of many
fine traits of character and was
liked by all who knew him.
He had been a member of
Union Presbyterian church for
a unmber of years and was
buried there Friday afternoon.
His funeral services we're con-
Quoted by the pastor of the
church, Rev. E. E. Erwin, and a
large crowd of his friends and
acquaintances attended and by
their presence gave expression
to the high esteem in which he
was held in his community.
He is survived by his young
wife and several half brothers
and sisters, who with a/host of
relatives bemoan his death in
early life and who will ever hold
his life loving remembrance.
The following young men
acted as his poll bearers:
Arthur Mccullough, Alex Salt.

they CANE TO The SHOW.
Big Crexd in Town Tuesday on
Pleasure Bent.

Hard times, short crops and
the low price of cotton count
but little when a "show" comes
to town. Betimes Tuesday
morning they began coming in
and before the hour arrived for
the "puffawmance" to begin a
big crowd had foregathered at
the grounds on the Epps lot in
East Academy street, all eager
to part with their coin in ex.
change for the magic bit of
paste-board that admitted the
sight-seer to the tented area of
amusement.
The King & Tucker show is
not in a class with Ringling or
Barnum & Bailey. In fact, it is
not a circus al all; no menagerie
or hippodrome; no parade or
spectacular pageant; just a
two-ring show of the type that
used to travel across country
before the advent of the iron
horse. And even then the two
rings we're not continuously
occupied during the hour or so
that the performance lasted.
But there was some good
trapeze work, a trio of funny
clowns whose quips were rather
clever, and the slack wire artists
were quite above the average.
On the whole, the crowd was
we'll entertained, and that, after
all, is the chief desidera tum, as
such things go. Then, too, one
can't expect a peep at the
greatest show on earth"for the
modest admission tariff of a
quarter.

oTRERS news OF INTEREST.

LAKE CITY, October 20:-Miss
Louise Sheriadan has been added
to the corps OF teachers of the
graded school and has the third
grade in charge.
Right now eight new resi-.
dences are going up here. They
vary in size from five to nine
and ten rooms. They are in diff
erent sections of the town, but
the majority are in "Rutledge
Park. " Several other dwellings
are "on the way''-for some
plans are being prepared while
for others the materials are being
collected. Saturday two lots
were sold upon which residences
will be built soon and they will
become the home of new citizens
one family from Williamsburg,
the other from Florence. All
this will give some idea of
>whether Lake City is continuing
to grow or not.
The American Tobacco
Company is getting matters in
shape to build a tobacco factory
here. A lot containing about an
acre and a half has been secured
and plans are going ahead for
the erection of the large build
ings and the installation of
machinery. Months will be re-
quired to complete such plant
as the one in view, but the pur.
pose is to have everything in
readiness for next seasons crop.
This enterprise will be OF much
benefit to the town and more to
the tobacco market.

may be said of the cattlemen who
want tariff on hides, and the fruit
grower and the lumberman all want
high tariff on their respective prod
ucts. The people of the western
states fear the powerful influence of
the eastern states in congress may
have an effect in reducing tariff on
many products that are raised in the
west and consumed in the east, how
ever, there is very little, if any, APP
prehension felt by the large produc-
ers of the western states. They
have great faith in the policy of the
party, which is affixed and
the seal of approval given by the
nation. These men have confidence
in the wisdom and Judgment of con-
gress. They know that the revision
of the schedules will be done on lines
of adequate protection to all indus
tries of the United States, no matter
how small or how large. We can all
feel assured that no legislation will
be passed that will seriously effect
present conditions.

The tariff question seems to be the
main subject for discussion thruout
the country at present, and will I'M
doubtedly occupy the attention of the
public for the next six months. The
Ways and Means Committee at
Washington has taken the matter up
with due consideration for all indus
tries of this great commonwealth.
The comm ittee was early besieged
by repres entatives of each industry
that ma be affected by the revision
and presented powerful arguments
for their respective interests. The
fight promises to be long and drawn
o ut affair, as the different parts of the
country will never agree as to what
products the tariff should effect. In
this state every sheepman and every
community that derives profits from
the sheep industry wants to see the
highest kind of tariff on imported
wool and wooden goods. The same

Tomorrow Farmers Institute will
be held in this city. Presumably
there will be two meetings, which
has always been the custom of the
Institute in the past. 1t is sincerely
hoped by the E mt e rprise that the
people of Malta and vicinity will
make an especial effort to be present
at these meetings and take an active
part tn the discussions that will be
brought up by the lecturers. There
are many farmers in this vicinity
who can greatly assist their neighbors
by getting up at the meeting and tell
of their experience in growing crops
in this vicinity. The Milk River
Valley is still in it's infancy and but
very little is known of it's wonderful
productive soil, and it is meetings of
this sort where the farmer gets prac-
teal and theoretical knowledge of
how to work and profit from his farm
ing. Let us all hope that the meet
ings tomorrow night will be success
full and profitable and that the at
tendance will be larger than the
previous years.

Miss Anna Tweedy, who is teaching
school near Saco, spent Thanksgiving
with her sister, Miss Ellen Tweedy,
of the Moore Telephone Company.
A year ago Wyoming claimed dis
tinction as the banner wool-growing
state of the Union because it pro-
duced 2,S16, 900 pounds more wool in
the grease than Montana, which be-
fore that had always made the Eheavi-
est production of wool in the grease.
But Wyoming last year was compelled
to divide honors with Montana,
becasse the fleeces of this state did
not shrink as heavily as did the wyo-
ming product, and the Montana
secured wool production was 639, $50
pounds greater than the Wyoming
secured wool production. For the
refined woolproductM Montana received
81, 64O.27s, as against $7,21l,773 re-
ceived by Wyoming. But this year,
according to statistics, Wyoming un-
doubtedly has surpassed Montana,
both in wool in the grease and scour-
ed wool production. This year
4,51O, 300 sheep were sheared in Wyo-
ming, the fleeces averaging pounds
in weight and the total production of
wool in the grease was approximately
81, 900, 600 pounds. Under washing
this wool shrank to ~, 12O, 900 pounds,
which sold for 50 cents a pound, or
S., 93s, 900 in all. Greatly reduced
prices prevailing this year resulted in
the heavier 1908 tonnage selling for
$1.272, 97s less than the 1907 tonnage.

ing in the public schools at Glasgow,

Official Paper of Valley County

A higher divorce rate in the Unit
ed States than in any of the foreign
countries where statistics are prOcur-
able is announced by the census bu-
reau, which in bulletin just issued
says: At least one marriage in
twelve in this country terminates in
divorce. The reports cover the
twerty years from 1887 to 1906, in
elusive. In that time there were
1882 ,O44 marriages and 945, 625
divorces. Divorce is now two and
one-half times as common compared
with the marriage population. as it
was 40 years ago. Utah and Con-
necticut are the only two states
showing decreased divorce rate.
