1904. It will mean the spending of
millions Of dollars in this country.
Prince Tsai Hsun, uncle of the
chinese emperor is journeying east with
Charles Schwab to look over. the Beth
leham works. President McGregor Of
the Union Iron works will have charge
of the construction as far as it is done

TAFT WILL ISSUE ORDER TAKING
ASSISTANT PosTMAsTERs
OUT OF POLITICS.

Washington, D. c., Sept 2S.-1t Is
announced that President Taft will
issue sweeping order placing nearly
5000 assistant postmasters in the
United States under the civil service
law and taking them entirely out of
politics. It also was said that the pres
ident would recommend to congress
this fall that all second and third class
postmasters be placed under civil serv-
ice rules.
Will Affect 1922.
BY the order to be issued some 1872
assistant postmasters will be affected.
If the recommendations as to second
and third class postmasters are adopt
ed by congress, 7,19s additional post
masters will be placed under civil serv-
ice regulations.
Postmaster General Hitchcock made
the recommendations to President Tart
both as to the assistant postmasters
and to the officials of the second and
third class. It is part Of the postmas-
ter generals scheme to put the postal
establishment on business basis and
make it self-supporting. Mr.. Hitch
cock already has reduced the expend1-
lures in his department to minimum
and he hopes to make the establish
ment paying proposition before he
goes out of Office.
Hitchcock Turns Reformer.
Mr.. Hitchcock came into the post
office department from the manage
ment Of the Taft campaign. He acted
as chairman of the republican national
committee and was known throughout
the country as politician. The policy
pursued by President Taft has taken
the postmaster general entirely out OF
the political situation This has been
wholly to his liking it is said. and has
enabled him to go ahead with his plans
for reformation of the postal service.

Continued From Page ~

The plank relating to direct primaries
is brief but admits Of no misconstruc-
ton. 1--WE promise legislation which
will enact these principles into law,
is the pledge.
The resolutions laud the labor legis-
laticn enacted by the republicans,
pledges encouragement to agriculture
by the enactment Of favorable leg1s-
lation and favors conservation OF ma
tional resources. The platform re-
counts the beneficial legislation en-,
acted by the last congress and ap-
proved by the president and com
mends the republican congress for the
enactment of these laws.
Roosevelt Names His Committees.
Col. Roosevelt was in full control OF
the convention after he had taken the
temporary craftsmanship yesterday
afternoon. At one point he held up
all the proceedings until he could go
over the names suggested for the COM
mittee on resolutions which was to
thresh over the important direct pri-
mary plank.
He called Representative Herbert
Parsons of New York to the speakers
stand and, after striking out three OF
the names submitted, announced the
resolutions committee, among whom
We. Vim. Barnes, Jr., Speaker Jas. w.
Wadsworth, George W. Aldridge. Sen
ator Cobb, author of the recently de-
feated primary bill; former Mayor
Seth Low of New York, Jacob Gould
Schurman, president of Cornell uni
versity; Senator Bracket, Represen'
tative Serene Payne, and Representa-
tive J. Sloat Fassett.
The "Old Guard did not give up at
the first defeat, but fought until
beaten again when the progressives
submitted resolutions whereby the
committee should be made by repre-
sentatives from each congressional
district. the members to be named by
the temporary chairman. Seeing that
this gave absolute power to Col
Roosevelt, Speaker Wadsworth op
posed the resolution. The progressives
| passed the resolution as drafted by
| friends of Mr.. Roosevelt
Woodruff Ousted From Job.
It was not only on this point that
Mr.. Roosevelt was victor. State
| Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff, one
| of the "old guard leaders, was one
Of the first to feel the effect OF the
progressives' victory. Delegates
| from Kings county, in the sixth con
gressional district, at meeting las'
! night retired Mr. Woodruff as state
committeeman and elected Alfred +
Vase to succeed him.
Mr. Woodruff can still serve as
member Of the new state COMMITTEES
if elected by another Kings county
congressional district. This probably
will be done. AS the new state com
mittee will, however, befcontrolled by
the progressives, Mr.. Woodruff Will bt
retired from the Craftsmanship.

Gus rivalry grew up between them.

DRY FARMING IN MEXICO.
An Expert Finds it on Large Scale In
 the Vicinity of Csnsnea.
tEl Paso Herald 1

' from journey to CAnanea, Her mosillo and Guaymas.
 He reports that at Cananea dry iarmingis now an established busi- ness, with.no knockers to be found. The big fodder grinding mill, two miles south of Del Rio and eight miles from Cananea, is grinding sorghum into a meal which resem bles the alfalfa meal now being so much used by poultry keepers, and the machinery appears to be the same.
 The sorghum meal is being used at present to fatten steers brought in from the range for slaughter at Cananes. There are 1000 head of cattle being fattened in he corrals at the big steam mill. Just now a new telephone line is being con struCted to connect the mill with the Cananea Cattle company's of- flee at Cananea.
 This is the first scientific appli. cation of the principles of dry iIrming on q large scale to the business of producing fat cattle in northern Mexico, and it certainly looks like the best use to which these principles can be put at the present time, when today practical ly all of northern Mexico, Ariz) z)na and New Mexico are suffering from drOuth and cattle are dying every where, and very little of them will be fit for scale for many months to come. If there were a good nun. Der of these dry farms in the cattle country it would put that bushes. on quite another footing, and re. move nearly all the rick.
