 Year. Old President, Is
 Reelected to Office

Mexico City, Mex, June 27.-Porfiero DiaZ, Mexico's 30 year old statesman and the Republics president for 30 consecutive years, has been reelected to office, according to returns receiv- ed to day from all Mexico Ramon Corral, eice-president and secretary of the interior has also ben reelected, so that it is assumed to be certain that Diaz's policies will continue for six years more.
 When the polls opened yesterday there was really no opposition to the election of Diaz. Francisco I. Madero, his only opponent, was in the peni- tentiary at San Luis Potosi and other Liberal leaders were also in iail No disorders are reported and the elec- tions will be formally ratified in the chamber of deputies July 10.
 In some quarters the belief is free ly expressed that Diaz dynasty has been thoroughly established.
 Felix Diaz, a nephew of the presi- dent, has resigned as chief of federal police. He will probably be made governor of the state of Vera Cruz. If President Diaz is not alive six wears hence Felix Diaz will be the candidate for President and the road will then be clear for the Presidents nephew to assume the reins.

Bass Player in Pennsylvania Band

Lime Kiln. Pa.-When the Liberty
cornet band organized here several

footer, weighing 175 pounds and TWEEN
ty-three years old, was rightly chosen.
His bass horn is one of the largest
used by any band in the county, and
ON a recent test Ohlinger was heard
by fellow bandmasters five miles from
the spot where be blew
The other day, however, Ohlinger's

Workman Employed by Contractor to
Excavate Property Uncovers Pot
Containing Gold.

In plot of ground in suburb near
Vincennes, Paris, France, has been
found a quantity Of gold, which will
probably give rise to some litigation as
to ownership. A workman employed
by contractor was digging up the
ground and came upon an earthen pot
with cover. When he opened it he
discovered that it was filled with small
five and ten-franc gold pieces. He told
the contractor, who removed the pot
with it's contents to his house. A few
days later the same workman un-
earthed two more pots like the first.
containing ten and twenty-franc gold
coins The employer again took charge
of the treasure and removed it to his
house. The total amount of gold in the
three pots is said to be about $4,000.
According to French law, part of

BIG SOCKEYE SALMON PACK
Yield From Puget Sound and Fraser
River VIII Total TWO Hundred
Thousand Cases.

Seattle, Wash.-The sockeye salm
on pack on Puget sound this year to
date aggregate approximately 100000
cases. Packers say the pack is prac-
tically complete, although they point
out that when all the figures are in
the seasons count will very likely be
over 100000 cases. This is the largest
sockeye salmon pack on lean year
since 1902.
Reports received from Vancouver
the other day were to the effect that
the pack of sockeyes on the Fraser
river has been practically the same
as on Puget sound, and that packers
there expect to have 100000 cases of
fish when everything is counted.
Packers say that the entire sea-
sons pack of sockeye salmon has al
ready been sold subject to approval
of opening prices. The largest pack
of sockeyes on lean" year since
1902, when 339, 55S cases were packed
on the sound, was in 1906, when the
pack aggregated 1924 cases.
