Westhope, N. D., July "a so
called circus, travelling under 4he

Son Circus" had billed the town with
flashing posters showing a number OF
marvellous sights sue h as airships and
so on.
The farmers came from far and
near and when they arrived at the
tent they found that they had to pay
81 admission for all over nine years
old and so cents for babies. Reserved
seats we're so cents, the side-shows
the same and some were charged ST..
In addition number of grating
games were run in connection. When
the grating games were stopped by
the police they attempted to bride
the officers who Stopped them,
After the first performance the peo-
pie were so exasperated that the au-
thorities revoked 4tht license of the
circus and ordered it out Of town.

What Hartman
Says About the
West Coast Of Mexico

When Edward H. Hartman probably the
greatest railroad man America has ever pro-
duced, was in Los Angeles recently, he was
interviewed by newspaper men On variety
of topics. While he discussed with his usual
directness and keen insight many matters of
interest to the American people, his most
significant remarks related to Mexico, and
particularly to the West Coast.
"Great liberality is the policy of the Mexi-
can Government toward American capital
In fact, their entire trend is to be fair and
prompt.
''The deltas of these rivers have formed the
richest kind Of land, similar to that formed
by the Colorado River in the Imperial Valley.
All the land needs is water, water and de-
velopment. Some of these lands are fully
equal to the Colorado delta and are only
waiting for irrigation and cultivation. If
any of you want to get out of this part Of the
country, there is the place for you to go.
Such soil will grow anything"
"There is the place for you to CO." says
Hartman. Take his advice.
THAT soil will grow anything" Mr.. Har-
riman knows for he has been there and he
had had reports on that entire region in
GLIDING The Great Yaqui Valley, from the
ablest soil experts and colonizers in America.

Sol Hendra at Chafey last December,
which has been ON trial in the District
Court for the past week, the State rest
ed at noon today.
Upon the opening of court this after

be submitted to the jury some time to-
morrow.

OBJECTED TO GET.
ting UP EARLY

For the past day or two people walk
ing along the streets of Winnemucca
might easily imagine they were in Ath-
ems, due to the fact that large number
of Greek laborers who have been en-
ployed ON the Western Pacific track
laying job refused to go to work yes
terday morning and have since been
lounging about town, waiting for their
pay.
1t had been the intention of the COM
pany to move the men to a new camp,
and for that purpose a siding had been
constructed on the main line at q point
ten miles west of town. Owing to the
failure of the water cars to arrive on
time, headquarters have necessarily re-
mained at the material yard, four miles
east of town. In arder to accomplish
anything in the morning, it has been
customary to get the men up betimes
in the morning, that they might finish
breakfast and reach their work some
time before noon. This caused consid-
erable dissatisfaction among a portion
of the gang, and yesterday some so
men, of about one third of the entire
force, quit work and called for their
time
As fast as the proper vouchers could
be made out the men were paid off,
and by noon today the last one had
been settled with in full.
Gus Economy, the Salt Lake labor
agent, Immediately sent to Wendover
for another crew, and gang of 60 men
are expected today to take the places
of those who quit.
The tracklaying work has not been
seriously delayed, as about 125 of the
men remained at work, and by tomor-
row it is expected that the crew will be
working full ll-handed.

before Judge Fits yestedray. The evil

from Sacramento to Lovelock, and it
is claimed the company will take q
hand in the prosecution.
