in here tp- day for the eighth time as
President of Mexico.
Contrary To former custom. no ju-

the hall OF Congress and on the Dip

heard Diaz and his vice president, Ra-
mon Corral, repeat their oaths of Of

Following the ceremonies a. the hall

and rurales were held in readiness
throughout the city and all attempted
gatherings of the people were frowned
upon. Warned by the preparedness
OF the government. no demonstration
was made by the anti-Diaz faction.

Farm Machinery Prices.

The Insurgents have not yet used
the time worn argument that Amer
lean machinery may be purchased
abroad cheaper than at home. This
is strange. too, considering 1t is
such handy argument with which to
attack the Tariff, especially among
farmers who do not want to think
that anyone gets his machinery more
cheaply than they do. But Senator
Beverage, who himself did not vote
for the last Tariff law, has perhaps
spiked these guns. He took the gov
ernment's reports, made through
the consuls, and drew from them this
price list of mowers and binders in
the various countries:

ing claims, the existing coal land
laws of Alaska are most unsatisfac-
tory and should be radically amend
ed"
The Government of the United
States has much to ansWr for in not
having given proper attention to the
Government of Alaska and the de-
velopment of her resources for the
benefit of all the people of the coun-
try. l would not force development
at the expense of future waste of re-
sources, but the problem as to the
disposition of the coal lands for pres
ent and future use can bee wisely
and safely settled in one session II
Congress gives it careful attention"
1T has been thought that there
was danger of combination to obtain
possession Of all the power sites and
to unite them under one control
Whatever the evidence of this, or
lack OF 1t, at present We have had
enough experience to know that COM
bination would be profitable, and the
control Of a great number of power
sites would enable the holders or
owners to raise the price of power
at will within certain sections; and
the temptation would promptly at
tract investors. and the danger of
monopoly would not be a remote one.
However this may be, it is the
plain duty of the Government to
see to 1t that in the utilization and
development of all this immense
amount of water power, conditions
shall be imposed that will prevent
monopoly, and will prevent extortion-
ate charges, which are the accom-
paniment of monopoly"

was impracticable to develop an isola-
ted coal field requiring the expendi-
ture Of a large amount Of money by
such small unist.
Remedial legislation was sought and
enacted in the statute of May %, 1910.
This law permitted the consolidation
Of claims staked previous to Noyembtl
IL, 1906. in tracts of 1850 acres. One
clause of this law invalidated the title
IL any individual or corporation at
any time in the future owned any
interest whatsoever directly or indi-
rectlly, in more than one tract. The
purpose of this clause was to pre-
vent the monopolization Of coal fields
its immediate effect was to discour-
age capital. 1t was felt by many that
this clause might lead to forfeiture
of title through the accidents of in
heritance or might even be used by
the INSCRIPTIONS in Matchmaking. 1t
would appear that land taken up un-
der this la miwght at any time be
forfeited to the Government though
the action of any individual who, in
nocently or otherwise obtained inter
est in more than one coal company.
Such a title was felt to be too inse-
cure to warrant the large Investments
needed for mining developments.
The difference between the mining
of coal and the mining of placer gold
has not always been recognized. A
placer claim may yield a profit to
the prospector who has but a sup
ply of provisions and a few simple
tools but as a necessary preliminary
to coal mining at least several thous-
and dollars must be expended on each
claim. Even after the money necessary
to patent has been spent, no profit
from mining can accrue until suffi-
cient sapital has been invested to
provide equipment and transportation
facilities. These explanations, obvi-
Gus to every coal miner are made
here because the idea seems preva-
llent that any individual prospector,
after stalking a coal claim, can pro-
coed to develop it at a profit as he
might a gold placer.

The Indian had a way of sending
the smoke up in rings or puffs know
ing that such smoke column would
at once be noticed and understood

the smoke of some camp fire. He

fire with his blanket for a moment

hascending smoke rings said to every
indian within thirty miles: "Bewarel
An enemy is near! Three smokes
built close together meant Danger"
one smoke merely meant Attention"
Two smokes meant Camp at this
place"
Frequently at night the settler or
the traveller saw fiery lines crossing
the sky shooting up and falling, per-
maps taking a direction diagonal to
the lines of vision. He might guess
that these were the signals of the
Indians. but unless he were an old
timer he might not be able to inter-
pref the signals. The old-timer and
the squaw man know that one fire

the head of the shaft with gunpow-

State Legislatures, and that they

mutation and destruction through
private greed or accidental fires
that have made barren many square
miles of the older States"
Nothing can be more important
in the matter Of conservation than

1t was probably the ruthless des-
truction of forests in the older
States that first called attention to a
halt in the waste of our resources"

Deafness Cannot be Cured


by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional re-
needles. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucuous
lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's norma con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh. which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of tn emucuous
