NOT RESP oNSIBLE TO KNOX
Assertion Is Made BY Zeiaya That
American Marines Fought Against
Him and Many of Them Were
Killed.

Mexico City, December 29.-"Mr. Knox
is not my judge. 1 am answerable only
to my government for my actions
In these words Jose Santos Zelaya,
who arrived here this morning from
Salina Cruz, replied to a query tonight
as to what attitude he would assume
should Secretary Knox seek to extradte
him from this country. Zelaya refused
to discuss the probability of such a sit
uation, but strongly intimated that the
Secretary of State could not have the
right to request his presence in the
United States
~ have no feeling against the American
people at large, nor the government" he
said Secretary Knox has been sys-
tematically misinformed and public opin-

become known in time, and 1t is to that
time that / trust for my vindication."

While neither the officials of the

The commission made this declaration
in connection with its decision of the

Americans In Battle.
Zeaya made the assertion that Ameri-
can marines engaged in several recent
battles in Nicaragua. and that 20 Of them
were killed. He said:
do you know that there were 400
Americans fighting with the insurgents al
the recent battle at Rama? Do you know
that at the battle of Colorado Junction.
on November /. the bodies of 20 Amer-
can marines were picked up on the field
by our forces-all dead, and all from the
American gunboats anchored in the river
to protect American interests? The Off
cial explanation given me was that these
men were deserters."
Zelaya believes that the confederation
of all the Central American republics
will ultimately be brought about, as he
says the great masses of the people are
unionists, and the principal obstacles to
its contamination up to this time has
been the selfish attitude of persons In
power, animated by private interests. He
favors a central government for the new
republic, rather than q strong federal
government, explaining his meaning.
that, under a central government the
various states would preserve their identi-
ty having officers to transact such gen.
eral business as might concern the whole
of Central America and leaving each
of the present republics more or less in

President ZeIaya declared that on De-
cember 90 1907, he had wired Washington

dency and from politics altogether, II a

can states could be brought about

''The immediate outlook in Central

phesy The struggle between the pres

trada will probably reach a climax In a
short time, but so many features enter
into the result that 1t would be q very

the future. Estrada Cabrera will not
set about to dominate the entire country.
He is the evil genius of our people-for
we are all Central Americans at heart,
without sectional lines. Cabrera has pois-

MONTANA became so stirred over
NV the open purchase of judges in
the fight between Heinze and his
competitors that she is to make the
experiment of divorcing the judiciary
from politics. Judges are to be nom
mated not by conventions but by direct
petition from the people, and their
names are to be printed on the ballot
without any emblem or mark to in
dicate their party affiliations. In
this way the voter will be guided by
his knowledge Of the candidates fiji
ness, and that party organizations
will be compelled to lend their in
fuence to the support of a better
grade of men. The result of this ef-
fort will no doubt fail short of the
hopes which it has aroused, but it is
big stride in the right direction.
A non-partixan judiciary is blessing
to any country

Much interest was manifested by
the press in the recent G. A. R. en-
campment held at Billings by the
Montana veterans. These events are
gaining in interest as the fighting
days of '61 to '65 fall in the rear of
time. 1t will not be long until the
last gray headed veteran will fail to
rally around the old flag. Then the
American people will have full appre-
citation of those brave men who
fought and bled that this nation
might be dedicated to liberty.

'The greatness OF the state is not
appreciated by those who are but
casual readers, nor are it's resources
fully comprehended even by its own
citizens. It's waterways are second TO
none and the immense power they
have for the driving of machinery is
now being taken advantage OF and
capital is being invested in their de-
velopment. The Missouri has been
harnessed and is delivering $4,000
horsepower to Butte and other cities.
There are many other streams whose
alls can and will be used for turn
ing running water into golden
eagles
"Montana is the PENNSYLVANIA OF
the northwest. Her mines Of coal,
iron and copper far surpass those of
the eastern state; her forests surpass
those of Michigan: her wheat lands
,urpass those of the Mississippi valley,
and all in all, the state is everything
that could be asked, even by the
most exacting."
Thus great in area, great in resour-
,es, great in the men who have hel
interests at heart. Montana is now
me of the foremost states OF the
Union and is destined to take hel
place in the front rank, not only of
the agricultural states, but to rank
with the other states in her worth as
a power for the strengthening and
enlarging of the financial power OF
the Union. With the mineral wealth
that lies stored in her hills and noun
tains and the fertility of her valleys
Ind the sturdiness of her citizens, she
has right that none will dispute tC
claim for herself place high up in
the galaxy of states. Her population
is increasing at wonderful rate, and
what was yesterday but the lair OF
the wild beast is today busy with the
hum of industry. Her hollows are
aglow with the glare from the smel.
ter's furnace and her waste places
are blossoming as the rose. Those
who guide the ship are conservative
and yet progressive, SO that the har'

Greatness Of Montana.

While returning to Montana from
Washington City, General Warren
was interviewed by reporter of the
Chicago Journal and he told the re-
porter some things as to the state
that few Fasteners know or believe
Residents of the state all appreciate
it's large areas of fertile lands, but
when you stop to think that it is as
large as Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
combined you get a more definite idea
of it's immensity. This immense area
is being rapidly settled up by sturdy
and progressive class of citizens, and
eastern Montana, as the General says,
"has been developed TO point where
it is known as the granary of the
Inter-Mountain region. The soil is
the richest in the world and l am
safe in saying that the next few years
will see even greater development
than has been witnessed in the past.
Montana is natures own money gar
den."
The General then continued, "the
impetus given the farming industry
by the Dry Farming Congress and the
success that is being met with by
those who are putting to the test the
methods advocated by the dry farm
er is demonstrating the fact that
Montana is destined to be great ag-
ricultural state. 1t is already a re-
cognized truth that the plateau land
that lies between the Yellowstone,
the Musselshell, the Judith and the
Missouri rivers raises the best hard
wheat OF any section of the United
States

The Evolution.

I'm the last few weeks there have
~ been several large transfers of
large tracts of land that heretofore
have been the property of wealthy
ranchers, and which have been used
as rarfge country. Among these large
sales may be mentioned, the Suddith
ranch, the ,NBar ranch, the Cruise
holdings, and other large parcels in
the upper Judith Basin. The land
has nearly all been sold to eastern
parties, many of which are capitalists.
This statement of real estate trans
fers although simple, carries with it
a significance that is not comprehend.
ed except by the close observer of the
trend Of civilization. 1t marks an
epoch in the history Of Montana, it
is significant of an evolution that
will soon change the customs and
thought of the people and will have
it's direct effect upon the industries
and business of the whole state.
What are the elements in this evo-
luton? In the east, by means of ad-
vertislng, and the stories of success
and wealth that constantly issue from
the west, there has been fostered a
prevalent demand for agricultural
land in western North Dakota and
Montana. The demand is general
with all classes of people and in all
parts of the east Shrewd eastern
capitalists have recognized this de-
mand, and knowing that there will
be tremendous influx of people in
to the west in the next year or two,
they have purchased large tracts,
with intention of cutting them up in
small farms, and then entering upon
extensive colonization schemes to rea-
Iize on the investment.
That this is the logical outgrowth
OF affairs, and the impending evolu-
tion of Montana, no one will deny.
Already the trend of the new civili-
zation, the new regeme, can be seen
and felt. The unprecedented influx
of settlers into Montana during the
past year has had it's inevitable effect
upon the open range country The
cowboy and his calling are fast be-
coming obsolete. The new era marks
the end of the old roundups. The
shacks of the homesteader and the
settler already begin to dot the range,
and the ranchmen who depended on
his heard of cattle, horses or sheep,
has found himself suddenly and un-
tremendously forced out of business
by reason of lack of the range coun-
try.
In many cases the stockman has
fought desperately against the stream
and discouraged all efforts at settle
ment. He has destroyed land marks
He has never made known to the
world the richness of the soil. He
has even told the newcomer that it
would be impossible TO raise anything
bat stock in this country. He con-
soles himself with the idea that the
new settler will have to make stock
raising an important part of the
farming, and if he does not, the lack
of profits will force many speedy re-
linquishments, and thus bring about
partial restoration to former range
conditions. But in spite of efforts
and vain hopes the oldtime stockman
who depend largely on free range is
being rapidly forced to accept condi-
tions as they are, and the picturesque
cowboy make way for the horny hand
ed tiller of the soil.

Much sickness is Of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation OF nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DR.. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.
