SIDES WITH UNITED STATES
Mexico May Take Hand in Nieara-
guam Dispute.

Mexico City, Dec. 4.-1hat Mexico
will side with the United States in her
controversy with Nicaragua and that
the probable outcome will be friendly
interference by both Mexico and the
United States is the statement in Off
cial circles here. The advisability
of sending Enrique Creel, formerly
ambassador to the United States, to
Managua as special representative is
being considered by the government
officials here.
Senior Mariscal, minister of foreign
relations, refused to make any de
tailed statement, but confirmed the in
terview given several days ago that
steps will be taken to settle the dis
pute amicably and that Mexico and
the United States would work in har
mony. Creel, who was recently giyeI
thirty days leave of absence from the
governorship of the state of Chihu
ahua, has been almost constantly
since in conference with Presiden
Diaz and the other government Off
cials here.

DECREASE IN PRODUCTION
Output Of Metals in the Central States
in 1908

Washington, Dec 4.--The geological
survey has just issued report on the
production of silver, copper, lead and
zinc in the Central states in 1908.
The states covered by the report
are Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
Kentucky Michigan, Oklahoma and
Wisconsin The mines in this group
of states report a decrease in the pro-
iuction of these metals from that of
1907 amounting in value to S21,370,754,
or more than 27 per cent, the figures
for the two years being $77,697 ,457
and S56.32670 respectively.
The most notable decrease was in
the production Of copper, which
showed a loss Of s14,079,602, or more
than 32 per cent, the figures for 1907
and 1903 being 43,553,466 and $29,-
473,844. Michigan wee the principal
copper mining state inethis group in
1908, the other states mining chiefly
lead and zinc Most of the silver pro
duced is derived from ores that carry
mainly copper or lead.

DEAL MEANS TWO new
COMPETING LINES
Rock IsIand-FriscO Division Of
Great importance.

New York, Dec. 1.-Two great con-
tinental railroads are to spring out of
the separation of the Rock Island
Frisco system. One is to be controlled
by Edwin Hawley and B. F. Yoakum
and the other by the Moores and ID.
G. Reid
This conviction settled upon Wall
street following the official announce
ment that w H. Moore, his son, e. S.
Moore, now assistant to the vice presi-
dent of the Rock Island, and d. G..
Reid are to have places on the Lehigh
Valley board of directors.
The conviction that stupendous deals
are pending in the railroad world was
further enhanced by the statement
that an announcement would be made
in a few days to the effect that the
Moores would have representation on
the board of the Wabash road.
These two events would mean ma
terial changing of the railway map OF
the country and the creation of two
rival transcontinental systems from
| the Atlantic seaboard to the gulf.
The series of events which has lee
| up to the Lehigh Valley announcement
| has happened so rapidly as to leave
| all authorities in the railroad ant
| financial worlds agape with amaze
| ment and it is now certain that there
/, is to be a struggle for supremacy in {
| territory west of Chicago covering
| more than fifteen states.

LOUISE knB0GAST IS FREE
Indictment Against st, Paul Girl II
NciIed,

St Paul, Dec. A motion to nolle
the indictment against Louise Arbo-
gast was made before Judge Orr In
the district court by r. ID. O'Brien,
county attorney, and the motion was
granted.
Louise Arhogast was charged with
completely in the killing of her father,
Louis Arbogast, for whose murder
Mrs. Nina Arbogast, the girls mother,
was tried and acquitted month ago
The county attorney informed the
court that there was no more evl'
dence against Louise than was nitro
duced at the trial of Mrs. Arbogast
intimating that inasmuch as the
mother was not convicted the same
evidence would not prove strong
enough to convict the daughter.

Chicago, Dec 4.--John r. Walsh,

CABINET DISCUSSES STRIKE
President Taft May Be Asked tc
Intervene.

Washington, Dec 4.-The situation
presented by the strike of the switch
men on railroads running out of the
Twin Cities was discussed at the cab
met meeting.
There is good reason to believe that
President Taft may be induced to in
tervene to the end that serious dis
turbance of the country's business,
countrywide in its scope, may be
averted. The president, however, will
take no action until it is demonstrated
that Chairman Nj. A. Knapp of the in
terstate commerce commission and
Labor Commissioner G. p. Neill are
unable to effect peace between the
striking switchmen and the railroads.

CAMPAIGN OPENS PROMPTLY
British Members of Parliament Max

London, Dec 4.-Freed of legislative
duty members of the house of COM
mons and many peers have already
begun their political campaigns in
their constituencies. Comparatively
few remained in London for the for
malities connected with the ceremony
of proroguing parliament.
David Lloyd-George, chancellor of
the exchequer, whose budget was the
initial cause of the crisis, was given
the opportunity of firing the first shot
| in the struggle. He was a guest at a
luncheon of the National Liberal club.
The function was one of the most
elaborate of the kind ever held in this
city and, being timed with the pro
roguing of parliament, afforded an
occasion of which the chancellor took
advantage to deliver a speech which
| will be the cue of the Radicals
| throughout the country.

fGood News For VALLEY COUNTY,

ST. PAUL, Nov. "A dispatch re-
ceived in this city from Washington
conveys information that the with
drawal of 1000, 900 acres of land in
Valley county and allotment of the
Rocky Boy Indians to that section,
are things of the past. Secretary
Ballinger having in answer to petit
lions from the citizens of northern
Montana cancelled the Rocky Boy
withdrawal and allotment, thereby
throwing open to settlement 1000, 900
acres of the best land in the state.
The action of the interior depart
ment in the matter can scarcely be
over estimated in its effect upon the
settlement of the northern portion of
the state, and relieves a most embar-
RAISING situation. To President L.
w. Hill of the Great Northern, more
than to any other private individual,
is due the credit for securing the open
ing of the land in question, Mr.. Hill
having been indefatig able in his eff.

FIGHTING A N PIRATES.

Down in Colorado, not long ago,

land pirates from the state. They sue.

case has come to notice that fairly
rivals in %stupendous audacity the
work of the piratical gang in Col.

The newspapers of Montana owe to
the public a service which it is appar.

with which the press of the state

fake promoters of a mountainous

it would be an extremely difflcultumat.

swindlers of this class. In these days
OF land activity when every portion
of the state is enjoying a great influx
of settlers, it would be quite easy to
float worthless land on the eastern
market and find ready buyers. Among
the many legitimate enterprises ad.

many unadyised seekers of desirable
land in the state would have been
