THE AUTO TRADE.

North Dakota Is a Favored neld Tor
the autoists. The level country, the
good roads and many other features
appeal to the purchasers. But hes #
all is the fact there are thousands of
people in the state who are able to
buy the rigs.
The Fargo and other North Dakota
dealers report more prospects than for
any two preceding years. The same
Increased estimates are the rule all
over the United States. 1t is claimed
that during the year not less than
100000 new machines will be sold.
In this estimate are included ma
chimes of all sizes and kinds, from the
Tiny runabout to the luxurious tour
ing car-machines varying in cost from
5000 to $4,000.
Figures for the year 1909 showed
the sale of 10000 new machines in the
United States. 1t was the greatest
year in the history OF the trade-but
demand for machines is so greatly on
| the increase that the experts believe
| 200, 900 is a safe estimate on the num-
Der of autos which will go into use
this year.
Only very slight percentage OF the
machines sold in this country now are
foreign cars. For a number of years
the Italian and French manufacturers
disposed of many high-priced ma
chimes here-but the advance in auto
mobile making in the United States
has been so great that even the most
fastidious of millionaires find American
cars which are better adapted to their
needs than the foreign makes.
The great increase in the number
of automobiles is having a decided eff
feet on American life. The country
clubs and country inns are better
patronized, and the city cafe and the
theatre feel the competition Of the au-
omobile in pleasant weather. More
persons are living In country places
than formerly-and the farmer and city
man alike seem to be taking advantage
of the improved means OF transporta-
ton. In fact in North Dalxoa the farm
ers are the most liberal patrons OF the
auto industry.

SEARCH fUR HORSES; FIND STOLEN GAYLE

Fifteen head of cattle from the Pes quiera ranch n northern Sonora were driven from the ranch by a band Of rusters recently and were smug9ed across the line and brought to a point near Solomon Springs not far rom Glance on the old E. P, & $. W. road bed.
 The Pesquiera ranch has thousands of cate and the fifteen head that were stoleh would not have been miss ed and that fact that bunch of stock had been stolen was discovered by accident A number of horses had been stolen from the ranch and the cowboys and a posse of Mexican officers were sent out to pick up the trail of the horsesum POSA-. ing for sign of the horses the trail of the cattle was struck and follow ed. After the trial had been follow ed for a distance t was plain to be seen that several men on horses were driving the cattle, The trail led directly to the Inc and from there to the Solomon Springs region. American officers were notified and the cattle were located and rounded up and if they have not been return ed to the PesQu era ranch they will be very soon.
 The officers are not sure who the rustlers are, but there bs reason tO believe that they were Amer cans who do not live a thousand miles away from this vicinity
 The trail of the stolen horses from the PesQuiera ranch was not found although the country was thoroughly searched The parsfe who made away with these bonses were to all appearances expert rustlers as they have succeeded in making a clean getaway with the stock.

VOlE FOR TAFT IS
 ANOTHER QUESTION

WASHINGTON D. C., Nov. 3o.- President Taft is telling good story on himself. IL all happened at Rich mond, while on the way back from his recent trip to Panama
 T always enjoy dong Richmond he sa d. They have a way of making you perfectly at home ans there is not bit of politics in the reception they give you. l now know this absolutely"
 The president then told the story as related to him by Major Hemp hll, ed tor of the Richmond Times Despatch.
 "A democratic guest at Taft lun cheon setting next to me became very enthusiastic about the president. said Hemphill.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 30.- That insurgent leaders in congress are already maneuvering for positions in the readjustment of relations be- tween the divisions of the republican party was the most important polit'- cal news waiting for President Taft on his return to Washington. They seek to take the initiative in the re- adjustment, which is expected to be- gin with consultations which the pres dent will hold with leaders who will come to Washington shortly for the opening of the session.
 There is intense interest in the at titude which the president will as- sume toward the organization which both sides admit Is demanded. If the purpose now outlined in correspond snce between insurgent leaders s adopted it is likely to startle the president
 It contempiates the appointment of new chairman of the republican na- tiOnal committee who will be progress sive. This is not a personal attack upon Frank H. Hitchcock. It is the insurgsnt view of what $ necessary to bring victory to the republicans i in 1912.
 Should the president accept the sug- gestion, he must either take the old regular leaders along with him by the force of his personality, or leave them 1 behind him and accept the counsels of new leaders. He needs the aid of the old leaders in putting through llegislation to winch he is committed 1 at this session of congress. Until March Aldrich, Hale. Can non and their associates will control

ARMED MEx|CAMS IN CH|NATOWH

LOS ANGELES. Nov. 30;-Three thousand Mexicans, wildly excited by the reports of Q revoution in their country, are quartered in the basements of Ithe local Chinatown. Eight hundred of them. mostly men and boys, with blankets provisions and weapons strapped to them, have arrived in the city wthn the last two days from all portions of the southern half of the state and are seeking transportation as railroad labor~rs to Arizona and Texas points near the Mexican border line. Liberal leaders in this city are being care fully watched to see that no armed force is mobil zed W thin the city limits
 Members of the Chinatown squad encountered on the streees last night In the pockets of many of them were found copies O. Regeneracion, the revolutionary paper edited iu Los An geles.
 The police are inclined to believe that many of the wealthier Oh nese are banded together tn the object of quarterng the men and aiding the revolutionary leaders in send ng them on their way across the Mexican bor- der. In mony instances basements and buildings formerly occupied by the Chinese have been vacated by the orientals to make room for the bands of armed Mexicans. Many of the latter make no effort to conceal their affih ation wth the revolution ary party. They greet one another on the street with military salute and travel in squads.
 Last nfght little groups of Mex. leans gathered here and there in the shelter of crumbling sdoho c- s.o@' in the street corners until ordered to move on by the police
 Among these men are members of three factions now combating with the forces of Dag. They are the followers of Madero, members of the Liberal party and the Sc entific party vh ch in Mexico joined the Mad eroists
 Yesterday afternoon leaders of in Liberal party addressed a throng of MeNicans at the Plaza and the meet ing broke up with cheers of 'viva ei Revoiucion." Uncomplimentary things were said of the Los Angeles police members of the Chinatown squad say, in regard to their dsarming the reyolutionists.

INSURGENTS ARE ALREADY
 ANXIOUS ABOUT THE PIE

congress. Senator Smoot of Utah, who arrived in Washington today, can see no place for the insurgents ex cept with the democrats He doubts that they will form an alliance with the pres dent. Senator Borah of Ida ho, does no think the patronage let ter" restoring the recognition of the insurgents by the president in ap- pointments has successfully brought them together.
 Representative James R. Mann of Illinois, the probable new floor leader of the republicans in the new con
 gress said today:
 When one party is retiring from
 the control of congress 1t s not Is
 ual for that party to do much at the
 short session. The country has said 1t has lost confidence in US. Nothing can be done except practically by
 unanimous consent, and that is not likely. It is impossible to dispose of any measure that may be considered partisan"
 If political conferences are going to push themselves upon Pres dent Taft at once those who seek him are
 not making appointments. His en- gagement book .s singularly free from the names os men who lead in party affairs. In the few days that remaiD between his return and December 5, complete his message and determine upon his appointments to the bench In this connection the arrival of Sena- tor Sutherland of Utah in Washington discloses that he Is not a candidate for appointment to the supreme court,
 but is happy in the prospect of re election.

nOO|fY RULES ON

one of the rules regulating regis tered mail has been slightly modified es. the Postmaster General. This rule is as follows:

 Persons who send registered mail or package Return Receipt Demand ed. Return receipts can no longer he expected for registered mail any ilorc than for special delivery let. tarS. This new rule is one of Post master General Hitchcock's econom. cs and will result in a saving of con siderable expense as the time requir ed and the expense in sending out and transporting these receipts from the 70.o60 postofices in the United States amounts to a con1iderable sum in the course of a year.
 The registered mail for the year ending June 1908 was 41.000, 900 pieces and of all this registered only enc piece in every 13,174 handled went astray
 At the coming session of congress Postmaster General Hitchcock will recommend the establishment of a partial parcel post which will be limi led to rural delivery routes. Eleven pounds will be the maximum weight allowed in packages which can be sent Ths weight is the same as that which is allowed to be sent in foreign countries At the present time packages for transmission through the malls are limited 10 four pounds

DENOMINATION REUNION.

BALTIMORE. Md, Nov 30.-The movement for a merger of the three branches of the Methodist Church promises to receive renewing impetus as a result of a meeting of the church leaders begun in this today. Attending the meeting are commissioners representing the great Methodist bodies North and South and the smaller Methodist Protestant body. It is generally believed that closer relationship of the three bodies, if not an actual reunion. may be brought about in the near future
