est price ever paid for grown chick
ems in Pocahontas.
The biggest lot bought from ont

seeing such trouble as has arisen.
Diaz, Corral Creel and Limantour,
the big four" of the distrito federal,
profess not to fear the activities of
Madero, regarding him as noisy agi-
tator pure and simple. The one man
whom Diaz does fear is General Ber-

TO succeed Diaz in the presidency OF
Mexico. He was then minister of war,

ton falls on Madero.
Geographically the dispatches from
Mexico indicate that insurrection spread

That the uprising has been coincident
with the termination Of Mexico's first
centennial celebration is not hard to
understand. The agitators caught the
natives on the rebound when cash en-
thusiasm had been overdrawn.

Reyes was to come to the head of the
government for another period of ire

Reyes was suspicious that Liman-

began to scheme to get the place for
himself at once without the interven-

learned of Reyes plans, as he learned

Then Reyes ceased to be minister of

Not only will this great dam

ton project, the stupendous feat
of engineering in the Salt river
valley, Arizona, will be completed
next month.
Early in June the last stone will
be laid on the wonderful Roose-
welt dam, where once stood the
town of Roosevelt. A few weeks
later the small distributing canals
will be completed and the water
will be ready to turn onto a des-
ert that will in few short years
be transformed into 5000 or more
fruitful farms.
The Roosevelt dam pens up the
waters of the Salt river about
seventy miles northeast of Phenix.
There the river runs through a
narrow gorge; across which the
huge barrier of stone and cement
stretches to a length of over 1000
feet. 1t is 284 feet high and at
it's base is 16S feet thick, gradual
ly borrowing to 20 feet at the
crest.
Work on the dam was began
