NJ HARG KNOWS WEST
Also Proud Of Scotch Ancestors and
Initiates Their Bluntness-
Native Of NJ. ..

st. Paul DisDarch: Maybe 1t is
Ormsby McHarg's pride of ancestry
that got him into trouble, and may
bring about his retirement from the
bureau of commerce and labor, of
which he is assistant secretary.
McHarg was born In North Dakota
of Sctoch parents. In the pioneer
days he Followed a breaking plow, re-
fiected upon the greatness Of his
Scotch ancestry, which includes
Clavenhouse, dreamed of the day when
he should emulate the career OF Alex
ander Hamilton, his political hero. It
is because OF his Scotch bluntness of
speech In criticising the Roosevelt
policies in connection with the Bal
linger- Pinchot row that Mr.. McHarg
Is expected to hand in his resignation,
and this he will probably do, because
an assistant secretaryshtp In de-
partment is not following very closely
in the political footsteps OF Alexander
Hamilton, and McHarg prefers to
practice law anyhow.
He is some lawyer, too, having
graduated from the University OF
Michigan, and then from Georgetown
university In Washington, where he
was afterward an instructor in post
graduate courses Of law having to do
with railroads and other asi-public
corporations.
He was just about TO enter the prac-
tice Of law in New York when he was
called to his present post under the
Taft administration. and at the So

YOUNG WOMAN KIDNAPPED
by MEXICO?--MAY BE SHOT

Iare devoted heart and soul to the
cause of the exploited Mexican
wage slaves.
"They began in st. Louis. when
the arrest of their brother, with
his comrades, Magon, Rivera and
|Sarabia, left the movement with
out a leader. When the trial OF
the men was held in Tombstone
last June, the girls were there,
with the father, until frighted
with the spies.
After the conviction of the
men on the charge of violating
the neutrality law, and their
sentence of two years in prison
had been imposed, Andrea became
more jealous than ever in work
ling for the cause. Like a Joan OF

Friends of the Villereals on
this side of the line, however, are
strongly of the opinion that the
girl and her father were not in
Mexico when the soldiers of Dia2
seized them, but In Texas, near
the border. Many believe they
were the victims of a kidnapping
plot, like that carried out in Doug

Manuel Sarabia, a revolutionist,
was taken in the night. bound,

Prosperity has struck the red man.

hundred acres with the latest i'm

horses and cattle, is not the excep-
ton. Another northwest Indian max
ing rapid advances is Louis Michita,
a Occur d'Alene, who owns and lives
in as fine a ranch house as is to be
found in the section, commodiuS,
two-storied, painted structure with
large barns adjacent, the entire
premises fenced. Back of Louis
home is small house in which live
the white help employed on the
ranch. Between the poplar trees to
one side of Louis house is an arti-
fetal pond we'll stocked with fish.
Another prominent Occur d'Alene
is Tyler Toto. whose prosperity has
not yet led him to cast aside the
tribal tradition that womenfolk
were intended for manual labor.
Tyler is very proud of the photo
graph showing him harvesting wheat
with an improved Self-binder and
sees no reason to apologize for the
presence of his wife and mOther-in-
law who faithfully plod along shock
ing while he sits and drives.
Many of the Occur d'Alenes. says

wealthy, cultivating large tracts of
land and reaping rich harvests of
grain, oats being the favorite crop.
| Louis Antelope is one of the rich
est farmers. He cultivates 1000
| acres and has fine home. together
| with large sums of money loaned
out at eight per cent interest. He has
excellent teams and improved ma
