mexico MESSAGE
PRESIDENT DIAZ DISCUSSED HIS
cOUNTRYS RELATIONS WITH
THE UNITED STATES.
MENTIONS COAL ING STATION
Our Neighborins Republic is at Peace
With All the World and on
Eve of Period of
Development.

Mexico City, Apr. 2-President Diaz
delivered his annual message to con-
gress Wednesday. He declared that
the republic was at peace with all the
world, and on the eve of prosperous
period of material development. He
spoke of the financial crisis which en-
barrassed the markets of the world in
general, and, which was keenly felt
in Mexico during the past few months,
as having passed, and said that Mexico
is entering upon a broader field of ac-
tivity in all lines.
Referring to the merger of the Ma
tional and Central railroads, he char
acterized it as an accomplishment of
which Mexico should be proud.
The occasion of the delivery of the
message was made notable by a large
assembly. All of the balconies were
crowded with spectators, and the
chamber presented a lively scene. The
part of the message which referred
to the granting of coaling station to
the United States at Magdalena bay
was listened to with the greatest at
ention. On this subject which of late
has been widely commented upon by
the radical press, the message said:
THE government of the United
States asked permission to station the
two coaling vessels destined for the
service of the American fotilla on the
Pacific, in the waters of Magdalena
bay, for a period of five years.
"In accordance with the constitution
it was presented to the senate, and
the concession was limited to term
of three years, and on the basis of
strict reciprocity with Mexico. 1t was
considered that under such conditions
the republic would suffer no loss what
ever by giving service to a friendly
nation which obtains an advantage
which on occasions may serve as USE
full. The opinion of the senate coin
cided with that Of the executive and
the permission was delivered on the
terms stated
Speaking of arbitration with the
United States, the president says:
Also with the, government of Wash
ington we are arranging through our
ambassador the celebration of treaty
of arbitration which will be submitted
in due time to the senate. The di-
verse controversies that have arisen
as is natural between that government
and Mexico owing to constant relations
of all classes, have been settled in q
most satisfactory and amicable man
ner"

CARNEGIE ADDS S., 100000
PROVIDE PENSIONS FOR STATE
UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS.
With the $1o,o0o,ooo Previously Do.
mated a Yearly Disbursement
Fund of $7500oo is Provided.

New York, Apr. 4.-Announcement
was made Friday night that Andrew
Carnegie would add $5,O0O,OOO to the
fund of the Carnegie Foundation or
whatever sum might be necessary to
include as pension beneficiaries ell
gible professors of state universities.
No provision was made for this
class of education in the original gift
for the reason, stated by Mr.. Car
negie at the time, that the donor
fought it possible that such institu-
tions might prefer that their relations
should continue exclusively with the
state from which their chief support
was derived. This view was not taken
by the National Association of State
Universities which in the year follow
ing the establishment of the founda-
ton, petitioned the trustees for ad-
mittance to the benefits of the retiring
allowance system. 1t was then found
that the earnings of the original fund
of 100000 were exhausted through
the outlet already planned, and that

ton was placed formally before Mr.
Carnegie by DR.. Henry S. Pritchett,
president of the Carnegie Foundation
for the advancement of teaching, on
March 81 last and on that same day
Mr.. Carnegie replied that the money
would be forthcoming for any state in
stitution whose application received
the approval of the legislature and
governor of it's state. The additional
donation will be in 5 per cent bonds
providing an added annual income OF

HOW TO APPLY PAINT.

Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings or implements
which are exposed to the weather, to
have the paint applied properly. No
excellence of material can make up
for carelessness of application, any
more than care in applying it can
make poor paint wear well.
The surface to be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered
hard and smooth. Pure white lead
should be mixed with pure linseed oil,
fresh for the job, and should be well
brushed out, not flowed on thick.
When painting is done in this manner
with National Lead Company's pure
white lead Grade marked with 1.-The
Dutch Boy Painter') there is every
chance that the job will be satisfac'
tory. White lead is capable OF alb
solute test for purity. National Lead
Company, Woodbridge Building. New
York. will send testing outfit free to
any one interested.

WATSON IS NAMED
THE PoPULISTS NOMINATE THE
GEORGIAN FOR PRESIDENT AT
ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.
THE NEBRASKA MEN bolt
The Platform Criticises Banking Laws
and Demands That Power to Is.
suej Money Be Taken
from the Banks.

st. Louis, Mo-, Apr. 4.-For presi-
Watson of Georgia.
For vice-president of the United
States-Samuel w. Williams of In
diana.
The above ticket was nominated
Friday by the Peoples party conven-
ton, after two stormy sessions
throughout which the Nebraska and
Minnesota delegations working in the
interest of William j. Bryan strove
desperately to bring about an adjourn
ment of the convention until after
nominations had been made by the
Democratic and Republican parties.
Hopelessly .Outnumbered and with
out any chance whatever of gaining
their object, the Nebraska men fought
desperately to the last and when Jay
w. Forrest of Albany, N. Y, mounted
the platform to place Watson in nomi-
nation they withdrew from the con-
vention, attended by the Minnesota
delegation which consisted however of
only one mani. j. Weighan. If
Bryan is nominated at Denver the men
who walked out of the convention will
support him and they declare that the
Populists of Nebraska will do so to a
man.
The platform submitted to the con-
vention was completed at daylight af-
ter an all-night session of the commit
tee on resolutions. Much consideration
was given to the money plank and when
finally accepted by a majority of the
committee it was not satisfactory to
the minority and a fight over its
phraseology was made on the floor OF
the convention. AS prepared by the
committee this plank declared that
the issuing of money is a function of
the government alone that should not
be delegated to any corporation or in
dustry. The demands made that mon
ey be issued direct to the people with
out the intervention of banks and be
a full legal tender for all debts, pub
lie and private. The working of the
national banking law is criticized and
the demand made that the power to is
sue money be taken from the banks.
The Aldrich bill is denounced as "A
method by which the nation and the
people can both besrobbed. 1t has
not in it an intelligent purpose that
is honest" The Fowler bill is also
denounced.
The plank on trusts demands that
the government own and control the
railroads, and all public utilities which
in their nature are monopolies. Own
ership of the general telegraph and
telephone lines and a parcels post
were also asked. The taxation of
monopoly privileges while they remain
in private hands is another feature of
this plank. Other planks submitted
favored initiation and referendum and
the power to recall from office disloyal
or inefficient representatives.

HIS wheat WENT q
BUSHELS TO The ACRE.
HE REALIZED $18 PER ACRE FROM
1T, WHILE OATS GAVE HIM
$17 AN ACRE.
Moose Jaw, sask., Nov. 18th, 1907.

Moose Jaw, Sask., Nov. 18TH, l9Ol.
Writing from Moose Jaw, Saskatche-
wan, Mr.. S. X. Rathwall says:
II have much pleasure in saying
that on my farm this year | had 5OO
acres in wheat, and 100 acres in oats.
NY wheat averaged about 22 bushels
per acre, and l had 200 acres cut be-
fore the frost, which l sold at S5
cents per bushel, thus realizing on
that wheat $500 per acre, not count
ing cost of Irvine, seed and labor. With
regard to the other 800 acres of wheat,
it got touched with frost but is worth
60 cents per bushel. 1t will net me
$1,000 per acre, but 1 do not intend
to sell it at that price, as l can make
more money by feeding it to hogs.
my oats turned out about 5Obushels
to the acre, and at 35 cents per bushel
will give me $1700 to the acre, not
counting seed, Irvine and labor.
"On account of the late spring, a
percentage of the grain was touched
with frost, but on account of good
prices, farmers will realize a fair
profit on their farms even this year.
We are as usual up against a short
age of cars to get our grain removed"

Will Report Both Bills Adversely.

Washington, Apr. 1.-The five Demo
cratic members of the senate commit
roo on military affairs Tuesday sue
ceeded in defeating both the Warner
and Foraker bills for the restoration
to duty of negro soldiers of the Twen-
ty-fifth infantry who were discharged
without honor because of the ARRAY at
Rrownsville, Texas. The success OF
the minority was accomplished by vot'
ing as a unit against the divided ma
iorlty. The effect will be to cause both
hills to be reported adversely. A ma
iority vote of the senate would enact
one of the bills, however, and Senator
Warner is hopeful that his measure
will vet become law.

MORE ABOUT ASSESSMENTS

THF MINER had something about delinquent assessments last
week has something this week looking the subject
from another point.
There great companies which have levied assessment
this They have selling treasury stock
than other companies Their properties lying idle Why have
they not assessed? Because the insiders much the stock and
the assessment would fall too heavily them. This policy to be
heartily condemned is policy prevalent Promoters and 10
Gators entitled fair compensation for their services but after all
who than the people furnishing the for development
due consideration
Those who supply the financial ammunition and make possible the
developed mine least entitled equal chance In other
words than half the capital stock should the insiders
and at least half should the company treasury 1t would be
better twods into the treasury Then could be
by the insiders and there would be hesitation their levy
More properties would be under development and the district
whole would be vastly prosperous.
This fault has been generously made in the hope
less of it in the future.
