COWBOY BREAKS
 WORLDS RECORD
Ropes and Ties Steer In Re- markable Time of Twenty
 Seconds.

At End. Okla, recently before 10. ! 900 persons, Milton Bealer of Mime
 kah, Okla, broke the worlds record for lassoing and roping a wild steer Bealen's time was 20 seconds flat The former champion WIS
 W. E. Carroll, Of Mangum, Okla. who had record of 21 3-4 seconds. Carroll witnessed Bealer's great feat and declared him the worlds cham lpion.
 Thirty steers from the Panhandle of Texas, specially imported for this occasion, were the objects of the las 1 so, They came from a 2o,000 acre
 ranch and were as wild as the plains of the southwest could produce.
 Twelve widely known cowboy ropers
 participated in the contest, each
 mounted on his own pony. When one of the range steers was released from the corral he was
 chased across the field until he came
 in front of the judges stand. and,
 taen running, at a high rate of speed, flag was dropped and the fleet footed pony, with his rider swinging a lariat, dashed down the field after the steer.
 The time made by Bealer appears incredible in view of what he had to dc. His pon ran 100 yards before
 the lasso's loop fell over the steers giant horns. That moment the pony
 turned, digging hoofs into the ground braced himself and waited.
 The rushing steer reached the limit of the rope and turned complete somersault, landing on his side with thud. Unable to use his head the steer could not rise.
 Bealer was not on the pony. Tne very moment 4he saw the lariat land over the steers horns he slid froln the pony's back and ran toward tie roped beast With six feet of rope he tied all four of the feet of the steer together in such manner tha. they could not be freed, jumped on the beast raised his hand and re moved his hat as a signal to the judges and the spectators that he was through
 All this was done in the third, part of a single minute. Milton Bealer is just past 22 years old. He has spent
 his life on a ranch.

Foreigners Employed In the Coal Mines of Pennsylvania Thinking of Migrating To Arizona.

PHOENIX, March 12.-N. G. Yea mans, who is a visitor in the city today from Los Angeles, states that negotiations are now in progress in the coast city, looking to the estab- Hshment on the old Blythe ranch, ninety miles north of Yuma, of a large colony of Poles. The foreigners who are now employed in the coal mines of Pennsylvania. A number of the leading men among them arrived in Los Angeles recently and Few days ago were taken to the Blythe ranch by Blenkiron Bros. and Louis Evans, two Los Angeles real estate firms, who nave charge of the sale of the property.
 The advance men will be taken over the ground and if they are suited the plan is to purchase large. tract of land and settle a number of Polish familias thereon. It is understood that they have intimated that if the soil. climate, etc, are what they are represented to be these Pole" will make favorable, report to their con stituents.
 The Blythe ranch, at present, is owned by a syndicate composed of Oxnard and Ventura county capital ists. It consists of about 10000 acres and occupies one entire valley. In the last few months a large amount oi money has be7n spent in building ca naIs through this property and about 10000 acres are now under irrigation The soil is similar to that of the I'm perial valley, being mostly salt from fhe Colorado river
 Water was turned into the canals buiIt by the owners about two weeks aeo and work is. rapidly progressing in extending thesystem to other parts of inc ranch. About 5000 acres havt already been sold. It is said thai nearly 100 settlers have located in tht valley.
 If the colony of Poles is established it will mean much to Yuma. for sup Dlies must be purchased from that town by settlers on the Blythe ranch However, if the Poles should not de eide to locate there valley with sucf wonderful possibilities as that ont will not long remain unoccupied.

UNITED MINE WORKERS
 IN SESSION AGAIN
Considering Problems Which Involve Welfare of Bitu-
 minouS Coal Miners.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March Ir.- The national convention of the Unit ed Mine Workers of America recon vened in this city today to make an other attempt to decide upon policy to be pursued after March 31, when the existing wage agreement with the operators will expire. Three joint |conferences of operators and miners have already been held without re- suits and six months have been vast ed in futile argument and stategic sparring. If no better results are ac- complished at the present meeting ; general strike in all probability will follow.
 Has John L. Mitchell, retiring pres ident of the United Mine Workers, more influence than Tom L. Lewis, pFesident-elect, who is to take office the first of next month? On the an- swer is believed to depend the ques- ton of whether there will be a gener- al suspension of bituminous coal min ing in western Pennsylvania, Ohio, In- diana and Illinois.
 The question of the influence of the two leaders is to be fought out in | the convention which began today, and adherents of both are prepared for lively contest. If Mitchell car ries the convention the operators in Indiana and Illinois will be allowed to settle with their miners as sepas rate states or jointly. as. they may elect. If Lewis wins the suspehsion will be general
 The operators in Ohio are said to favor a strike. They have millions of tons of coal on hand. and, should a strike take place, they believe they can dispose of a large part of it in Indiana and Illinois markets.
 The operators in Illinois and fndf- ana have practically come to an un- derstanding, and they do not want a general suspension. They feel that Ire situation hinges entirely on whether President Mitchell can carry his policy through the convention. Three propositions are before the miners convention for consideration and action. The first is to proceed at once to frame the wage demanCs and, h2=!sz completed that task. to call for joint wage conference be- tween operators and miners of the states interested
 | The second proposition is to draft
 wage demands and issue calls for | joint wage conferences with the ope- rators by districts.
 The third proposal is to shut down
 all of the mines in one big strike, anG thus try to force settlement by com
 petitive districts.

The Farmer and the Market.

When one farmer produces less than
he conld produce, and one city.dweller
has less to eat than he wants, there is
wrong, and both are getting
less of satisfaction and comfort ont OF
life than they are entitled to. When
this is true of thousands of farmers
(and it is true) and of thousands in the
cities (this also is true), the wrong is q
crime, against the helpless who must
suffer, and serious charge against the
intelligence of the whole people. But
suppose every farmer produced all he
could produce, and the city.dwellers
want it, where is the benefit unless the
farmers produce can be transported
There is none, OF course. The question
Of transportation, then, is the crux oi
the whole matter. The prosperity oi
the farmer, and the welfare, even the
lives of those who dwell in the cities,
depend upon it absolutely II the
means of transportation are convenient
il. in other words, the road between
the farmer and his city customer il
easy, safe and quick, the farmer cal
produce all his farm will grow and sci
all he can produce. II the road is lonl
and hard to get over, he can produc

VICTORY FOR BROWNL0W.
Evans Faction Failed to Keep Him OFF Sol
diers' Home Board.

Representative Brownlow won vic
tory over the Evans faction when the
president signed the house resolution
re.electing him a member of the board
of managers of the National Soldiers
Home at Johnson City, Tenn, says the
Washington correspondent of the Nash
Vile American. The other members
reelected, whose terms had expired,
were:. Gen. Thomas J. Henderson, of
Illinois; Gen. Il. p. Hammond, of In
diana, and Gen. Hill, of Maine. Mr..
Brownlow was also reelected secretary
of the board, which position he has fill
ed for the past six years.
The re election of Brownlyw was ac-
lively resisted by H. Clay Evans, form
er chairman of the republican state
committee; A. W. Wills, postmaster at
Nashville; Lee Brock, assistant United
States district attorney for the middle
district, and John Avemil, United
States marshal, all of whom favored
the election of Capt. Chamberlain, OF
Chattanooga. In addition to preferring
charges against Brownlow in connec-
tion with the management of the Sol
diers' Home at Johnson City, the dem
ocratic members of the Tennessee del
egation in congress we're asked to vote
against him with view to the selection
of democrat. Without exception the
democrats refused to encourage the
fight on Brownlow on the ground thai
it was through his personal initiative
and by his efforts that the home fol
disabled volunteer union soldiers wal
established and he, more than any 9th
er man, was entitled to official connec
tion with it's management. The boarC
of managers is recommended by thu
military affairs committee of the hous
aud senate and then voted upon by tn

In the primary in Shelby county be-
tween Taylor and Carmack, it is stated
by reliable people that about3, 5S4 votes
were cast OF these votes Carmack
probably received majority OF about
300.
But the official count gave Carmack a
majority of A, 700, or majority OF more
than one thousand of all the votes cast
for both Taylor and Carmack.
If Taylor had come to Shelby county
With a majority of 1900, Carmack's To-
gitimate majority of 300 would not have
altered the result. But Carmack's
fraudulent majority OF 4,4OO-the
amount stuffed and counted-would
have defeated Taylor
Aud Taylor's defeat would have been
secul ed by fraud and Carmack's victo'
ry would have come to him rotten with
fraud.
The same gang that robbed Bob Tay-
ior for Carmack were ready to rob Pat
terson for Carmack.
Carmack's primary plan would have
made it possible for these men to do
up" Patterson just as they robbed Tay-
lor.
The plan adopped by the state COM
mittee took the chances for robbery IN
Shelby from those who robbed Taylor
A man who stuffs ballot box once
will stuff it again.
This in itself iustifes the state com
mittee as to Shelby county,
The state committees plan robs those
who robbed Taylor for Carmack OF
chance to rob Patterson for Carmack.
No one charges Carmack with desir'
to win this victory through fraud, bu
no one is willing to trust the SAM
crowd that betrayed Taylor to do jus
tice to Patterson.
The yell against the state committee
action in this county was raised prin
: cipally by those who were active spirit
in the fraudulent primary In Shelby !
1905.
The plan of election advocated b
Carmack's friends resulted in fraud
Shelby. That much is certain.
The plan adopted at least has M
been convicted of fraud yet, and as
provides for an equal division OF judg'
and clerks, the friends of the candidate
. can prevent fraud.
= Carmack's admission iustifies ar
4 measure that takes from those wi
manipulated ballots in 1905 to do II
same thing in 1908.

A we'll known politician hurried back
from Hot Springs, Ark on the day OF
the Taylor Carmack primary.
"Why did you return to Memphis?"
asked man who was supporting Taylor.
.Twant to work for Carmack, " repli-
ed the man who had been absent.
81 will kill your vote, said the Tay-
lor man.
The next day the Carmack man met
the Taylor man and said to him: "You
may have killed my vote, but put 700
ballots in for Carmack, and that's why
I came back. "
This story is told by a man not given
to lying.
1t is just this sort of work that would
have been possible in Shelby under the
plan which Carmack's friends insisted
on.
Carmack, by his own admission quot
ed above, is estopped from urging thu

ences we're settled.

which would be made up of the ster-
ling old wheelhorses of the district,
the men who has been true to the

Yeager where lie lived and how long
he had been here. Yeager said he
lived in the Thirty-eighth precinct and
had been here four years, which
caused Morris to remark he didn't in
tend that men who had been here
only a year or two should run u.s."

to shake hands with him in an effort to
distract him, land I favor the resolu-
