Hnfi=MOrn7On Sentiment.

Idaho Recorder (Salmon City,: A representa-
tive of The Recorder was present at the convention
talked with the delegates from all parts of the state
and there was no hesitancy in saying in fact it was
generally understood that the Boise gang of lawyers
in the pay of the Mormon hierarchy and re-
ceived from twenty-five to fy-nine thousand dollars
for their attempt to sell out and disrupt the demo-
cratic party of the state In conversation with both
democrats and Gentle republicans in the Mormon
counties and the counties adaancent thereto the gen
eral expression of opinion was that the bolt would
strengthen the anti Mormon fight. Republicans
now with us who a few weeks ago considered the
Mormon fight merely as political subterfuge.
In one of the Mormon counties of the southeast
the writer spent day and made special effort to
ascertain for himself if the statement that the Gentle
republicans were with the Dubois faction of the par
ty was true. We many of the leading republicans
of the city, and we would take our oath before any
court in the land that we did not find but one
publican but who out and stated that he was in
the fight to eliminate the Mormon hierarchial control
We have good authority that this gentleman was
with the Dubois faction of the democratic party, but
owing to the fact that he was holding federal posi-
ton did not dare to out and say openly
In the Mormon counties it is predicted that the
bolt may lose the democratic party 500 votes, but
will gain the anti Mormon ticket from five to ten
thousand Gentle republican votes in the Mormon
counties In the southeastern part of the state the
Gentiles, regardless of party, making earnest
pleas to their party colleagues in the northern and
central parts of the state to out and help them
destroy this unholy alliance between the Salt Lake
hierarchy and the republican machine of Idaho
To the Gentiles of the Mormon counties the Nor
mon question is serious one. To the people of the
northern part of the state the question is largely
of sentiment The north has no conception of what
Mormon domination means to the Gentiles in the
Mormon counties. A Gentle, in the Mormon coun-

Not Badly Whipped.

Koosbia Mountaineer We haven't kept very
close track of what the democrats have been doing of
late-at Twin Falls or anywhere else-but from
what little we have read in the papers it does not
seem to us that Dubois has been very badly whipped
The warning factions certainly having lively
time of it. and if the o1d-line democrats can crawl
from under, and continue their fight against Dubois,
the war will go merry on.

Alcohol Made from Cactus.

The FL Paso Fiber plant for the
manufacture of alcohol from cactus
is in first class condition and ready
for operation, according to J. C. Ben
der, government Inspector, who has
been in the city about three weeks in
speeding the plant during the expert
mental run.
According to a law governing the
opening of plants of this kind they
have to be started by government
inspector. Mr.. Bender has tested the
plant and finds it in perfect order.
According to the law it is required
that once the plant is in operation it
must manufacture the amount OF
alcohol surveyed at the starting OF
the plant.
The plant has capacity of 92O gal
Ions per day, but SO as to insure that
the average will be maintained the
plant will be surveyed at 500 gallons
per day.
There are also several changes tt
be made in the plant and some i'm
proponents before beginning steady
operations.

Awful Ravages of Guerilla War Shown.

The Thirteenth battalion of the
regular army of Mexico passed
through about 40 miles south of Doug
las on their way to Chihuahua. They
have been in the field for three years,
going in 500 strong and leaving with
about 100 men, sixty priYates and
forty officers. They have had con-
slant warfare with the Yaquis who
killed many of the soldiers; desertion
accounts for many of the absentees
and some were discharged. One of
the officers told the writer that they
were going back to recruit up to full
strength of the battalion and would
return to Sonora. 1t was reported
that they were going to chihuahua
because of the acts of few revolu-
tionists but the officers denied this.
Some recruits are being obtained
along the line of march.
The men showed signs of hard ser
vice. The horses are big, fine ami
mails but in poor condition. The men
were ragged and some almost shoe
less. The troops were well drilled
and are fine body of fighting men

EIydrophObia COyOte Bites Two COWBOYS.

About midnight one night last week
two men were attacked by coyote
affected with rabies at the ranch of
Henry Dowdle about five miles from
Bowie. The men had been at work
rounding up bunch of beef cattle
for E. a. Tovrea 81 Co., of Bisbee.
The men had made their beds down
about the windmill. About midnight
Sherman Krump felt what he thought
was a bug of some kind. He was
partly awake and threw up his hand
to knock it aside, and had 70 sooner
made this move than he felt the
sharp teeth of some animal fastened
on both sides of the bridge of his
nose. Krump jumped up and the
animal ran away.
Krump ran to the water and began
bathing his face to wash the blood
that was running from the cuts on
his nose, but at the time did not
wake the balance of the boys. Just
as he was returning to do so, Eddie,
the sixteen-year-old son of Henry
Dowdle, gave d yell and jumped out
of his bed, calling that he had been
bitten by a hydrophia coyote as he
saw the animal disappearing. He
realized that the bite of the animal
was extremely dangerous, and sad
died his horse ard started for his
home at Stafford. He left the next
day for the Pasteur institute at
! Chicago.
Krump did not seem to fear the re.
suit from the bite. He stated to
those who advised him that he hao
better attend to it at once, that it
would take at least twelve or four
teen days for it to kill him and he
was going to deliver the cattle that
he was after at Benson, then he
would go to the institute at Austin,
Texas, he said.
The bite of the hydrophobia coyote
is said to be much more dangerous
than that of the skunk which is Sc
frequently affected with r7bies in
Arizona. When the coyote is taken
with hydrophobia it loses its hair and
shrinks up in size. The Mexica :
are more afraid of these animal
than any other living wild beast
There are few hydrophobia coyotes
about the country in comparison Il

have record of biting at least ten
or twelve persons Il wear in the terri.

Three carloads of lumber for the
RillIto bridge arrived in Tucson last
week and it is expected that work on
the Sll 900 structure on the Nam
moth Oracle road will be under way
within d short time. 1t was stated at
the Office of the board of supervisors
that the delay in starting operations
is due to the fact that the cement
tests which have been made of sam
pies sent for the foundations have
not been satisfactory, and that new
supply will have to be received.
This will necessarily delay matters
somewhat. The bridge will be one of
the biggest road bridges in the terri

The Consolidated Arizona Copper
company's Humboldt smelter is cold,
and the company is undergoing re-
organization. The Benson smelter is
likewise idle, but was never a success
except possibly to the promoters.
The Imperial company's smelter is
being enlarged to monthly capacity
of 1,25O,OO0 pounds and the Copper
Queen and Calumet & Arizona
smelters are both being increased in
capacity.
The Arizona smelters now have d
monthly capacity of SO, 400, 900 pounds
of copper per month, as against d
present output of $4,000 pounds per
month, so that there is plenty OF
room for growth.
1t is very evident that the terri
tory production this year will exceed
last years figures of about $4,000, 900
pounds, with the first six months fig
ures at the rate of 27O, 1000, 600 pounds
per annum. Arizona should this year
again lead all states in copper pro-
duction, as it did last year, and by
the time Montana is in position TO
get back to normal conditions, Ar;-
IONA should so increase as to main
tain its lead.
Next year there will be another
shelter erected, that of the Shattuck
Arizona cOmpauy at DouUlas con-
tracts for which have already been
let, while the Arizona Commercial
Copper company is now raising money
