MEXICO HAS KIND
 WORD FOR MILLS

T''74 l.ordsburg Liberal. ono of tho pioneer newspapers of New Mexico, has this to say relative to the recent appointment of Judge Mills as gov ernor of that territory:
 Ever since Governor Curry resign ed there has been a chase for the ap- pointment More than thirty candi- dates for the office made known their desires. Last week the president an aounced that he intended to appoint lawyer, as man wise in the law was needed during the time that the territory was changing into state. This cut out large number of candi- dates, and finally the list was reduced to ex-Judge Mann. The president re- membered some of the things that had been said about this candidate when he was an applicant for reap pointmeat as judge, and began inquir- ing about other judges. Finally teie- gram was sent to Chief Justice Mills, asking him if he would accept the position. The judge Immediately ac- cepted, and was appointed. Judge Mills has been a resilient of the ter. rito-y for some twenty years. and is 10 tcndcrfoot. For twelve years he has been chief justice of the supreme court, and presiding judge of the Las Vegas district. The best complimen; that can te given judge is to say that no complaints have been made against him. Governor Mills has held { the office of judge for nearly twelve years. and the Liberal has yet to hear the first complaint against him The people of the territory Seem to Dc
 well satisfied with the appointment
 aad 1t is probable that he will malks 1 a successful adrainistration during thc
 try period of transition from territor,
 to statehood"

THREE UNDESIRABLES
 LOSE CITIZENSHIP

DOUGLAS, Dec. A. (SpeciaD -
 There are times when patience is more profitable than action even up on the part of government officials. Such time has just occurred in Douglas and was taken advantage of So shrewdly and quickly that three undesirables are out of the country with little chance of getting back This alienation, repatriation, what you will, came about through an uRcon- sidered action on the part of the three last night
 It will be remembered that some time since there was 'vagged" a man who came from the coast and was be- lieyed to be implicated in the white slavery traffic at Phoenix. from whence he had hurriedly departed to Los Angeles. He is an Englishman named Kane and was given Q jail sentence Kane was released a few days since and warned to leave town within five days. The woman impli- cated in the matter was French prostitute
 Kane did not leave town until yes terday and then did not go far, mere ly crossing the line and taking a room at Agua Prieta with companion of his class. Immigration inspector Cornell was notified and merely said, Just wait" The wisdom of his ad- vice came later.
 This morning an automobile stop ped in front of the custom house. The French woman and a Mexican woman. also Of tse red light, were the oceu- pants 'svhere are you going" they were asked. Pack to Douglas" was the reply Not at all" said the of. ficers. Just step in here and prove your fitness as immigrants"
 It had been found impossible to de port either of the two women but by their going across the line to spend the night they lost their doubtful rights of habitation here and are now excluded. The same rule will affect Kane if he makes any attempt tc reenter the United States. Thus ii expense, litigation and delay avoided by a judicious display of patience ant the desired result is obtained.

 Golf interest throughout the south west, and in Douglas especially. is on the increase and the steps which the local country club is taking through Secretary Cuthbert for the formation of a territorial association seem to bear fruit. This indefatigable boost CT for the ancient Scottish game, who practically originated the idea of golf
 links here a little less than three years since and proceeded to help ma terialize them. has written to all .of the country clubs of the territory sug- gesting this formation of an associa-
 ion and the holding of a territorial championship. He recognizes the ad- vantage of publicity and also wrote to the newspapers of all Of the cities where there are country clubs encIos- ing a copy of his letter to the clubs. He also included Fl Paso in his cor irespondence, even though the Pass City is out of the territory intended to be embraced, for that club has been a great factor in golfing. Ar swers and results may soon be expect

twelve OF them, all equipped With the
finest machinery, much of which came
from America. They then ground
something like sixteen thousand bar
relS per day and had no trouble in dis
posing Of their product. AS a result
the stock went sky high, and the ST.
berian Jews, who owned the mills,
sold out at an enormous profit. Since
then the demand for flour has declin-
ed, seven of the mills have stopped
working, and the five now in operation
are producing altogether less than
one thousand barrels per day. The
mills, which are heavily mortgaged,
have now gone into the lands of the
Russo-Chinese Bank. which is not able
to manage them at a profit under the
present conditions. A thorough re-
organization will have to be made be-
fore they can compete with our flour.
Manchurian Wheat Lands.
In the meantime the japanese will
soon have a new mill at Tiehling. and
they will build other mills along their
railroad. The grain possibilities are
enormous: and, as the n de-
ve1Ops, Manchuria is bound tC raise
all the flour she can use. and a great
deal for export to China. AS it is
now, the valley of the Lao river ex-
ports $50, 900, 600 worth Of food pro-
ducts per year. The country drain
ed by that river is about as big as
the State of Missouri, and almost every
acre can be cultivated. Along the
railroad betwee Mukden and Dalny
there are farms all the way. Today
the principal crops are beans and
millet, but the soil will raise wheat.
