The Washington Times has been sold
and consolidated with the Washington
Enterprise. The Times has been owned
and conducted by c. A. Blake since 1890,
but for the past few years, since Mr..
Blake has been register of the land office
at Huron, he has bad very little to do
with the active management of the
paper. Blake is one of the best known
newspaper men in the state and there
will be universal regret to have him
leave the craft. The Times has always
been strictly and strongly republican,
but the consolidated newspapers will be
''independent.

THE Canton News claims to have a
"hunch'' to the effect that Senator Kit
tredge is likely to be called to be secre-
tary of war in President Taft's cabinet
Senator Kiotredge's executive qualities
known to no one better than to Pl esident-
Elect Taft-appeal strongly to the latter
and his familiarity and knowledge Of
Panama affairs admirably fit the former
for this position With Gov Crawford
in the senate and Mr.. Kittredge in the
cabinet, both elements-we used to say
factions of the party would be recog
nized and harmony reign supreme over
the broad prairies of South Dakota
We believe Pres. Roosevelt could make
no better appointment, either for etfici-
encv OF service or as a stroke of practical
politics.

STALwART republicans were stalwart
to the end. We do not know-and
doubt if any one else knows-of a single
republican in this county who voted for
kittredge in June who did not vote for
Nessey in November If there is such
an one, he voted that way because he was
a saloon republican and not because he
was stalwart republican. Such a voter
is no stalwart at all, but an insurgent.

CONCENTRATING TROOPS
Honduras Reported TO be Massing Her
Forces on the Guatemalan Frontier
In Anticipation of Trouble.

Panama, May LIT is reported that
Honduras is concentrating her forces
on the quatemalan frontier Passen-
gers who have arrived here recently
from Guatemala say that a revolution
was being planned against the Hon
duran government by Cen Domingo
Vasquez, ex-president of Honduras,
who is supposed to have the support
of Guatemala, This they say was the
reason why Senior Bustillos, finance
minister of Honduras was sent on q
special confidential mission to Presi-
dent Cabrera of Guatemala and why
Cabrera, instead OF treating with Bus
tillos. practically imprisoned him in
Guatemala City.
After the latest was with Nicaragua,
Honduras was left entirely disaimed
and should the reports Of the Hon
duran military movements prove true,
II Is supposed that Nicaraguans and
Salvadorans have furnished her with
munitions of war.
The situation in Guatemala Is report
ed to be exceedingly critical, The pas
mengers say that among the persons
reported to have been executed there
were Mrs. Castanedo and Mrs. Blanco
and MessrS. Herrera, Trigueras, Ed
uardo Rubio and Antonio Rubio, all
of whom belong to prominent wealthy
Central American families, During the
past year all these persons had been
incommunIcado in the dungeon Of the
penitentiaIy in Guatemala City and the
passengers say that 1t was impossible
for them TO have participated in the re-
cent attempt on the life of President
Cabrera They add that the executions
were considered cruel and Unnecessary,
and that the relatives of those persons
put to death, who are rich and pow
erful Will not rest until they have sue

Pelsin, May 1T was understood

dividing the American battleship fleet
into two squadrons is to enable tho

Portland, Or. May Nathan Wolf

been In business in Portland for 70
years, was murdered by robbers to-
night. ~ olff evidently was first shot
In the neck and then beaten to death
with n hatchet His face and head
were literally hacked to pieces. There
Ia no doubt that robbery was the only
motive for the crime. The pledge"
safe and cash drawer had been rihed,
but the jewelry safe apparently was
unmolested, Wolff carried large
stock of diamonds. 1t Is believed rob
bers secured jewelry and money to the
amount OF SLIGO.
The crime WAS discovered by the
night watchman who noticed that the
customary light was not burning. He
felt the door and il opened to his touch.
Just at this juncture Mrs, Woln.
alarmed at the appearance home
of her husband, arrived on the scene.
Suspecting that something was wrong,
the Waterman told Mrs. Wolf to re-
main outside while he investigated.

American Humane Association
Appeals to President Roose-
welt in Their Interest.
SAYS RANGE 0VERCR0WDED.
Would Have Fair and Equitable Lease
Or Grazing Law Compelling Own
ers to Provide Sustcnance.

Washington, May IAN appeal has
been made 70 President Roosevelt by
the American Humane association in
the interests of the cattle that Craze on
the western ranges. In a petition to
the chief executive the association en-
dorses the presidents efforts to obtain
proper federal control of the public do
main, especially the grazing privileges
thereon. 1t is claimed THAT the gov
eminent report show that over two and
a half million deaths from exposure of
sheep and cattle occurred during the
year ending March 81, 1905.
1t is held that the wholesale perish
Ing OF range animals on western plains
is due to starvation and thirst caused
by overcrowding and abuse of the pub
lie ranges. To prevent this the assoc
citation recommends the passage of Il
fair and equitable lease or grazing law
providing that the owners OF all stock
grazing under lease shall provide stock
with the proper summer and winter
sustenance In the name of civilization
and humanity" the petition reads, we
appeal TO you, Mr.. President to find q
way as you have been known to do on
previous occasions, to expedite the slow
process OF public education on this sub
ject and quicken the public conscience.
