 Chihuahua Enterprise: The state and the people seem to have lost interest in the splendid wagon road built by W. c. Greene from Temosachic to Concheno and Ocampo. It was a splendid road for a high way into such a noun tainous country and while Greene was very extravagant in it's con. struction Git is said to have cost uI5,000 gold,) it was worth keeping Cp.

Ir the first place it is written by tht Mixteca people and consequently in language which is little knowI to the best students of Mexican manuscripts of pre-Columbiar times, and. in the second, tht manuscript has been badly muti lated, no doubt by order of th' early priests, who wished to obli terale all records of the IndiaI divinities.

ON THE HIGH PRICES OF FOOD
St. Paul Dispatch Pu bIishes Results Of
Investigation,

St. Paul Dispatch Publishes Results Of
Investigation,
st. Paul, Jan. 13.-The Dispatch pub
fishes lengthy article on the result
of an investigation into the cause Of
the high price of food. A summary of
the conclusions reached follows:
That the main factor in determining
prices of table necessities is the law
of supply and demand--that in spite
of the allegations of the existence of
food combines organizations of whole
sale and retail dealers). These, If
there be such, are not largely respon-
sible for the high cost of living
That the increases are shared all
along the line of production and dis
tribution, the farmer getting a large
proportion.
That the farmer, the country buyer
the wholesale dealer and the retail
dealer have as answer to any question
as to their reason for their increased
margin of profit, the fact that the cost
of operation and maintenance of their
establishments has increased the cost
of labor, fuel, food, etc.
That many farmers believe the mid.
dlemen are getting too much profit
and that the only way to reduce the
cost Of food on the market is for cor.

Vienna, ILL.,, Jan. 19.-Everything is
quiet here and there is no danger of
mob violence The mobs formed to
avenge the murder of Allen Clark by
three negroes on passenger train
near New Burnside had not arrived in
Vienna, but Company K of Cairo was
on the scene prepared to prevent mob
violence. E@
The Cairo company arrived at 4
o'clock in the morning, after being
many hours on the way. The break
ing down of an engine delayed their
arrival. Sheriff Mathis, with the
scanty force of volunteers he could
muster, had guarded the frail struct-
ure in which the negroes were con-
fined. With the arrival of the militia
the Jail was at once garrisoned and
several more companies are expected.
Governor Deneen had given the COM
manding officer of the militia orders
to prevent the lynching no matter
what it cost.
Word reached Sheriff Mathis that
mobs were forming at Harrisburg and
Eldorado to come here and instruc-
tions were sent to Big Four officials
to refuse the mobs transportation and
all freight trains we're held up to pre-
vent the would be lynchers from rid.

Ciuar Smoke,

The stale smell Of cigar smoke is
peculiarly unpleasant and peculiarly
difficult to get rid Of. It clings to the
curtains and to most of the articles Of
furniture which present any sort of an
absorbent surface 1t is not so to the
same extent with cigarettes or with
pipes. In the case even of a single
cigar books. papers and textiles reek
Of it's stale flavor. and the room re-
quires abundant airing before that fla
vor is completely eliminated. This ef-
feet, we are told, may be traced to the
fact that cigar produces pungent
aromatic oils in greater abundance
than a cigarette or pipe. With the
cigarette oils are probably burnt even
If they are formed. while in the pipe
they condense in the stem. In the
cigar they seem to be chiefly discarded
into the air. In the form Of a cigar
tobacco would appear to produce more
oils than in the form Of a cigarette
or when burnt in pipe.-London Ian

Greeks and slavs in Bloody Battle at
Hammond, Ind. .
Hammond, Ind, Jan. 13.-Bad blood
between Slav and Greek residents in
Hammond and a stolen rooster caused
a riot. A score were injured, num-
ber of the hurts requiring medical
attention.
Members of the two races fought
like mad in a boarding house until
the building looked like shamble.
1t was the last day of the Greek
New Years celebration. The Greeks
were becoming boisterous and when
accused by Russian of stealing a
rooster they replied by hurl:ng beer
bottles at him. Other Slavs rushed in
and knives were drawn and used. I
The ringleaders, who were arrested,

HARMON WANTS
STATE INQUIRY
Asks Legislature to Probe
High Cost Of Living.
OHIO EXECUTIVE ACTS

Declares There Is Widespread BeIie1
That Combinations in Restraint OF
Trade Are Largely Responsible and
He Asserts That This Opinion Is Ap.
parently Justified by Facts.
Columbus, O., Jan. 13.-Governor
Harmon sent to the legislature a not.
able message concerning the high
price Of food stuffs. He suggested that
laws enacted by congress may be re-
sponsible in measure for the trouble
and asks an investigation. The mes
sage follows:
''There have been rapid and continu.
Gus advances in price of various arti
cles which make up the needs of every
household and further advances are
expected The result is pinching and
often privation everywhere, except
among the relative few whose incomes
greatly exceed their living expenses.
and even these are made less able and
willing to help the poor and needy.
There is a widespread belief that
among the causes of this combinations
and conspiracies to stifle competition
and advance prices figure largely. This
belief is apparently justified by the
enormous differences between the
prices paid to farmers, cattle raiSerS
and other producers and those paid by
consumers to the dealers from whom
they directly receive their supplies. It
is currently reported, too, on the state
ments of such dealers and other au-
thorities, that the prices at which they
sell are fixed by those from whom they
buy, with threats of cutting off further
dealings If the prices so fixed are not
maintained.
81 feel that this subject is one which
should be promptly and thoroughly in
quired into. If it be found that there
are laws which put the people in the
power of men who thrive by taking
advantage of their necessities, or that
there is lack of proper laws to pre-
vent such impositions, or that existing
laws to that end are not duly enforced:
in either case the means of relief are
in your power. Or, if the fault lies
partly in the laws of congress, your
Judgment as to their effect on the peo-
pie of Ohio will have great weight.
II respectfully recommend that a
joint committee be appointed with all
necessary powers for thorough in.

If by any possibility the declara-

DR.. Cook very graciously compli-

he would like to settle down here.
Perhaps if here, he thought he would

Yesterday, the report says, he
came into the city alone, and was
unable even to secure a seat in a

this report, opinions expressed were

FLOOD THREATENS PITTSBURG
Ice Gorge Above City Holding Back
Immense Volume of Water.


Pittsburg Jan. 13.-Higher tempera-

caused an alarming condition of the
ice gorge in the Allegheny river at
Freeport, thirty miles from this city,
and has fastened government action
to relieve the situation.
The gorge is in bend in the river,
and thousands of tons of ice fifteen
inches thick has jammed, holding back
volumes of water that, if let loose sud.
denly, it is feared, would cause a repe-
tition of flood conditions of 1907, when
more than S1O,OOO,OOO damage was
done.
The melting snow and ice along the
watershed back of the gorge makes
the situation more serious hourly and
merchants in stores in the downtown
section have begun to remove their
wares to upper stories.
