GOLF COURSE IS IN
 SPLENDID CONDITION
FEW RECORDS MAY BE EXPECT ED AS RESULT OF STRONG
 PLAY IN TOURNAMENT.

DOUGLAS. Jan. I3.-(Speeial.)-
 The recent rains have tended to put the country club golf course into the best condition it has ever shown It has been rolled thoroughly and the wetting down which it has received ollowed by a good dry-out between now and Saturday will make it hard and fast for the big tournament with q Paso. In both the Individual Championship on Saturday and thl Southwestern Championship on Sun day it will not be at all surprising to see some amateur records go to smash
 A big field is expected to start in he individual championship on Sat urday, with twenty players from Fl Paso and many from Bisbee besides
 ossibly some from Phoenix and oth- r points. so it has been suggested hat the local players who do not go O Warren on Saturday morning and who desire to compete get out early
 nd get their matches over with be- ore the party returns from Warren.
 s after that there is likelihood that the links will become congested un- less some such precaution is taken.
 The big game with Fl Paso will be played on Sunday morning and in the afternoon there will be a profes- sicnal match. It fs reasonably cer- tain that Adams win have to meet both the Bisbee and Fl Paso experts and it may be that the Phoenix coun ! " club pro will also be on hand. The match will be a good one and a big gallery will undoubtedly follow ! this match.
 The work Of the committee in it's team selection was the subject of much favorable comment last night and it is confidently hoped that Doug las will gain control of the handsome trophy once more.

MRS. CARTER IS HELD
 DOWN ID S2 LIMI!
DOUGLAS MANAGER WON'T STAND FOR FANCY PRICES AT THE ORPHEUM.
Douglas Internationally

Manager Milburn Hobson of the orpheum is having his troubles in keeping prices in Douglas down as he desires. All of the best attractions which he has booked are seeking to boost the cost of amusement in Doug las, but they meet with a firm refus- al from the energetic manager of the house. He is determined that prices shall not go up and in this determin- ation he is securing attractions for his patrons at lower prices than other cities are able to obtain.
 Manager Hobson's troubles with advance men who want the highest admission prices charged were renew ed yesterday afternoon in the case of Mrs. Leslie Carter and company who are billed to play here on Mon day Mir. O'Connor at first demand ed that the house should be sold at from s4 down and Manager Hobson simply refused. Then came a shay Ing down by the advance man an
 
 he dropped to s but Hobson was still obdurate and insisted that S2 should be the limit. This brought out the protest from O'Connor that they would not play in any of the coast cities for less than s2.5O for the best iseats and could not afford to go there if it were known that they charged less than this price here. Two hours passed in fruitless argument until fir ally a compromise was reached which enabled the advance man and his company to save their faces" and at the same time gave Hobson what he demanded. This is a charge of s2.50 for the first row so that the appear ance Of not cutting under s2.50 is kept up by the company. The next seven rows wifi be sold at s2. the next seven at s1.5O and the balance of the house at $l

VOTING BEGINS
 OVER BUDGET
 ACROSS POND
Great Struggle Full of Political Meaning to the Empire and Nobility Comes to a Head in England.

LONDON. Jan. 13.--The 7.705.717 electors in Great Briuan today begin to express their political preferences and on their verdict depends the fate of the Liberal Government and other things that are regarded as of even greater importance. such as the pro- posed curtailment of the power of the House Of Lords and the future tariff policy of the nation. The political struggle. which originated last No yember with the unprecedented ac- ton of the House of Lords in refusing its consent to the Government bud get, is in many respects the most in teresting in the parliamentary history of England
 Although this was the first polling day, the battle of the ballots will not be on Tn earnest until Saturday, when the voting is to take place in London. Parliamentary London is regarded as the vortex of the struggle. The me tropolis sends sixty-two members to the House of Commons. As a conse- Quence the question of the hour is. will London vote Tory or Liberal? The Tories have waged a campaign of unprecedented vigor and outside the centers of Radical politics it apears to be generally felt that London will vote for tariff reform and the House of Lords.
 In adition to London several other large centers are to have their cleo tions Saturday. Among these are Manchester and Stafford, which in 1906. under Winston Churchills per sonal championship, gave RaGicalism tremendous start. By the first of the week it is believed that the gen eral result will be pretty clear. though the whole of the seven and a half million electors will not finish polling | until two weeks hence.
 ] The political prophets are busy es- timating the likely losses and gains, though there never was an election. it is probable. in which such estimates were more likely to be upset.
 1 A point on which most politicians are agreed is that the Unionists stand a good show of materially improving their position They cannot fail to have many victories and they are likely to have defeats. The question is whether they will make sufficient gains to place them in power.
 At present the state of parties is as follows: Ministerialists. 3s5; Labor members. 34; Nationaiists. S3; Union ists, 16S. As the Nationalists and La bor members are regarded as the al lies of the Government. the Unioaists in order to obtain a bare majority must win as many more seats as they now hold, namely 16S.
 Since the injection of the Home Rule issue into the campaign Ireland regards the present election as the most important since 1886. The strag gle has acted as a vigorous incentive to the cause of Ireland's independ- ence.. Ireland will cast 700. 900 votes which is only a little less than the number of Scottish electors.

ENGINEERS IN
 EXODUS FROM
 MEXICAN JOBS
Americans Declare Their Lives Are in Danger from Green Mexican Conductors and Dispatchers- -2C0 Quit.

ALBUQUERQUE. Jan. Is-Within the last three weeks 200 American To- comotive engineers have quit their jobs with the National Railroads of Mexico Many Of the men are pass ing through this city en route for their homes in the United States. They have not resigned in a body or by order of their organization. the exodus being due. to personal initi- ative. According to H. G. Blodgett. one of the retiring engineers, the men are leaving because they did not wish to take their lives in their hands by running trains with inexperienced and incompetent dispatchers and conduc- tors.
 Shortly after the merging of the lines now forming the National Rail- roads of Mexico, the Mexican govern ment, which had become the controll- ing factor in the combine. set about to effect the Mexicanization of the personnel of the roads, and with thls in view dismissed practically the en- 
 tire office force and replaced it with Mexicans. Minor American operatives of the road were also discharged and to train Mexicans for the positions of conductor. dispatcher and locomotive engineer, six railroad schools were founded. The pupils from these in stitutions are now graduating and are being put on the road as fast as this can be done. Most of them are said to be young boys of a rather better type than the average low class Mex ican. but still too young and inefficient to be trusted with the running of a train and the lives of those aboard. The resigning engineers claim that they have been under too great a strain as the result of this. and, rather than be forever under the fear of a smash-up, they have decided to quit
 Mexican sources, however, allege that this move on the part of the en gineers is tactical one, having as its objective the bringing to terms of the National through placing the system m bad predtcament by a shortage oi engineers. The road in question will find it impossible to fll the pIacei vacated by the men and in all proba bility traffic will have to suffer for
 some time. From uninteresteC sources it is learned that the Mexican makes fairly good railroad man anC that the schools are turning out goo, material. 4 railroad man who re gently passed through this city Iron Mexico on his way home stated tha the American railroad men in Mexico were largely 10 blame for being no longer wanted there. having made themselves persona non grats with the Mexican government through conduct bordering on insolence whiIs they were still masters of the situa ton.

THE CONFERENCE.

The conference that ends today has
been one OF the most pleasant and
profitable gatherings ~ its kind with
the exception OF the first day OF the
conference the weather has been very
Gnc and an the meetings have been
largely attended The spirit Of insplra-
ton has rested upon the speakers so
that their counsel and instructions
have been timely suited TO the needs
OF me saints and the conditions under
which they live. Unity and harmony
have been the distinguishing charac-
toristics Of an the deliberations and
votes and the splendid music and sing
ing of the choir and the soloists have,
ais always contributed 70 the edinca-
ton and spiritual uplift OF the wor-
shipping multitudes We sincerely trust
that The Instructions given will be car
ried out everywhere. for 20 the extent
that the people will do the viii OF The
Lord as revealed through His servants.
Co. that extent they will be blessed both
temporarily and spiritually
Among the wise counsel given AZ this
conference is this that the Latter-day
saints. as much as possible remain
where they are instead OF scattering
out into foreign countries. that they
build homes. get out Of debt and take
up Intensive farming rather than
scratching imperfectly a large area
with but little profit. The people have
been warned that prosperity is not
everlasting but that. no matter how
pleasant the sailing Is now. there may
be breakers ahead. and that Il Is ncces-
sary 10 prepare for the future. This is
wise counsel. II cannot be emphasized
too much. There is plenty OF room In
Utah. Idaho. Wyoming Arizona, Ne
vada. etc. for good home builders. II
they will apply themselves TO the work
~ redeeming all the soil that can be
made TO yield the necessarios Of life.
The counsel has also been given to
the people in the various settlements
of tho country, not 20 encourage their
young sons and daughters TO come 90
the city 20 seek employment unless
they can be surrounded by home innu-
ences here. as a safeguard against the
snares and death traps that have been
placed here for their destruction. This
is also good counsel Il is better to
give them employment and keep them
near their homes and their friends, as
far as this possibly can be done
The blessings Of the Almighty have
rested upon the people during the past
year They have advanced In every
respect In numbers. In contributions
for benevolent and ecclesiastical pur-
poses generally in faith, in knowledge.
and spiritual gifts And the Saints are
better than ever prepared to be light
bearers In the earth.
They love and honor their leaders.
as the servants Of the Almighty. Thoy
are grateful for their integrity. their
wisdom. their zeal for the welfare ~
Zion, and their moral purity and
strength. and they are. above an,
thankful for the knowledge that the

tablished upon the earth for the saliva
ton OF the entire human race.
