MARKS END OF
HARD PROBLEM
General Reyes Surrender In

WILL OCCUPY PRISON CELL

Order to Bring Rebel Commander to
the National Capital and Place Him
In That Portion of the Penitentiary
Set Apart for Political Prisoners
Has Been Issued-Number of Small
RevoIts Have Recently Sprung Up
In Reyes Name.
the week probably will see General
Bernardo Reyes, who surrendered to
the Mexican authorities, occupying a
cell In the penitentiary of the federal
district In the portion set apart for
political prisoners.
An order that he be brought to the
national capital was transmitted by
the minister OF the interior to General
Geronimo Trevino at Monterey. The
commander of the third military zone
probably will assign an escort of
rurales to General Reyes and also
give him q safe conduct to Mexico
City.
The surrender of General Bernardo
Reyes at Linares, Nuevo Leon, 1t is
believed here, marks the end of the
most perplexing problem yet brought
before the Madero government. Seem
ingly, all over the country recently
have sprung small revolts and most
- IL. - g.
mer military leader of the country.
His following in Mexico was consid-
cred very strong for years and to this
was attributed much of the apprehen-
sion of the government when he start
ed his revolution. He formerly was
governor of the state of Nuevo Leon
and later commander-in-chief of the
Mexican army. This last position he
held for some time under President
Diaz, holding the rank at the time of
the latter's resignation.
Dlax Sent Reyes Abroad.
A few months prior to the outbreak
OF the Madero revolution there were
rumors of a threatened outbreak
against Diaz In favor of Reyes. Diaz
then sent Reyes to Europe. ostensibly
to study military organizations there.
President Diaz recalled him when
the Madero revolution became serious,
but before Reyes reached Mexico Diaz
had been forced to resign. Reyes then
aligned himself with Madero and
agreed to accept the portfolio of war
in the latter's cabinet when 1t should
be formed Later he decided to run
for the presidency himself and Ma
dero released him from his acceptance
of the cabinet place. The election,
held on Oct Is, resulted in the over
whelming election of Madero.
Partisans of Reyes attempted to
have congress nullify the election and
failed Reyes then left Mexico. going
from Vera Cruz to Havana, thence
to New Orleans and finally making
headquarters at San Antonio. He gave
az his reason for leaving Mexico that
he was prosecuted there and had no
guarantees of his safety.
Shortly after his arrival in San An
tonic 1t was rumored that he was or
ganixing a revolution and number
OF persons charged with transporting
arms across the border In violation OF
tho neutrality laws OF this country
were arrested.
In November General Reyes was In
dicted by the federal grand jury at
Laredo, Tex, and released on $4,000
bail, the indictment alleging violation
Of the neutrality laws. Tis trial is
set for the April term OF the federal
court at Laredo.

Though the Crowd Is Small the Sports,
Races. and Ball Game Arouse
Much Enthusiasm
DANCE WELL ATTENDED
Big Crowd at Dance Have Fine Time and
Many Are Still There at Home,
Sweet Home"

In spite of the inclement weather and
the small crowd early in the day, the
morning sports on Labor Day were very
successful. The children ran Just as
hard and the women drove nails Just as
vigorously to small, though appreciat-
i've audience, as they would have done to
multitude.
The races in the afternoon we're excit-
ing. There were but two, but the purses
made up for the lack of events. The
stake race was won by fast horse
owned by Jess Haley. The free
for all was won by Star, owned by Joe
Newell, Of Pleasant Valley. This race
was hotly contested, though it was won
in two heats. Three heats were necessary
to decide third place. If it hadn't been
for the horse the jockey would have won
first money.
At $3.50 o'clock the big ball game be-
gan, and was witnessed by a large crowd.
For the first six innings the score was
pretty even, neither team having a lead
OF more than two points. After the sixth,
however, Jordan Valley broke away and
won the $75 to the tune of 19 to II.
The game was interesting from start
to finish and both teams did their best to
win. Errors we're numerous on both
sides, but that added spice to the game.
By virtue of them the rooters were given
chance to roast the players. The root
ing on both sides was good natured and
little ill-feeling was aroused. The alb
sence OF wrangling was particularly no
ticeable and it was favorably commented
upon. All the home boys played ball
from the first to the last inning. The
Jordan Farmers did the same. The two
pitchers pitched the nine innings and
both did good work, our man having
little the better of it.
The game was abbey and fairly UNI
pired by man from each town, both
taking turns each inning in rendering
decisions on the bases and balls. Only
once or twice we're decisions seriously OBJ
jected to.
With this game the season for Silver is
closed. The winners of the Labor Day

MRS. Sw AN INJURED

This week the news was received here
that Mrs. Swan had been hurt in an ac-
cident in the state of Washington. It
seems that she and A. j. Swans little
child were riding in buggy when an
auto came along. They turned out to let
it pass; but, as the machine went by, the
driver lost control of it and it crashed
into the side of the buggy. Mrs. Swan S
arm was dislocated and her face badly
scratched, The baby was unhurt.

game were to play DeLamar the fifth and
Jordan Valley had that hard-earned
privilege.
After the game things quieted down a
bit. Some went to moving picture
show and then the dance commenced
at lO:3O o'clock. The crowd at the
dance was the largest since last Spring,
about fifty tickets being sold. Many
were up from the Valley, few from De-
Lamar, and number from the surround
ing country. The music was from Jor-
dan Valley. While not boisterous, the
dancers enjoyed themselves and a good
crowd was on the floor at Home, Sweet
Home" Refreshments were served in
the banquet room during the evening.
The feature of the evening was the
prize waltz. To the slow tempo Of a
beautiful waltz a large number con-
tested for the prize. When the winners
were announced it was again seen that
Jordan had carried off the first prize in
another contest. The best couple were
Mr.. and Mrs. J. f. Brooks, of the VAL
ley; and the next best were MIR. Healy
and Miss Mary Hicks, of this place.
While the people here did not like to see
this prize, also, go to the visitors, their
spirit of fairness and sportsmanship was
nppermost and they did not begrudge the
award to the ''Best Walters "
All from the outside praised the floor
and the crowd. Silver extended to them
a awelcome and afforded them good time
that they willEnot soon forget. The hos
pitality of the people of Silver has often
been spoken of, and was proved, beyond
doubt, last Monday night.
Considering the short time in which the
celebration was arranged and advertised,
the success of it was remarkable. Just a
week before the fourth the programs were
printed and circulated. Yet the number
of visitors here showed that the advertis-
ing had been far-reaching. Silver may
be little slow at times, but when things
are once started she carries them through
speedily and successfully. If Silver City
celebrates the Fourth we have no doubt
but that the outside people viii come here
again and repeat the good time.

FLINT ROAD REPAIRED

Saturday morning work was commenc-
ed on the road leading from Silver to
Flint. The county road extends to the
head of Sawpit gulch and from there the
work win be done. Throughout the nine
miles of its course the road is passable; /;
yet for any amount of traffic, especially
heavy hauling, much work is needed to
put it in the right condition.
The repairing of this road is good in
dication that work will start at Flint i'm
mediately. 1t is understood that the first
thing done will be to build power line
to the mine. When this line is com
pleted the road will be ready for the haul
ing of the various kinds of machinery
needed for the development work.
Development work on this mine is go
ing to be of great benefit to Silver.
Everything going to the mine will pass
through here. And it will not be long
until the change in business conditions
win be noticed. A large force of men at
Flint win work wonders to the life of this
camp.
Eight men are now at work on this
road and they win soon have it in good
shape. AS the county road to the top of
the hill is in good condition, it viii not
be long until the whole distance to Flint
is one of the best of mountain roads.

REBECCAS
DISBAND
Miriam Rebecca Lodge No. 2. After
Quarter -Century's Life.
Ceases to Be

Last Friday night Miriam Rebeccs
Lodge No. 2, |. o. o. F., quietly dis
banded. With the passing Of this lodge
one of the oldest of silver's secret orders
is gone. Granted charter in 1885, il
has lived, doing good work, until now.
As the number shows, this was the sec
ond lodge of this order chartered in Ida
no. Boise had the first. The enterprise
and energy Of those who organized it is
shown by this number-the second lodge
in the state after that in the capital
city.
The last meeting was rounded with a
feed. The meeting and banquet were
held at the home of Mrs. Fred Crete, Sr.
Nearly all the members were present /;
and they, together with some guests, en-
joyed themselves at the lunch, which was
excellent. After lunch they sat and
talked until someone gave the informa-
ton that is was twelve o'clock. Where
upon the company broke up.
Everyone had good time, talking and
laughing and listening to the music. The
sensation of the evening was the 'Dootch''
maid, Katherine name found on identi-
tication card after it was all over-whose
manners in the parlor showed that she
was more at home in the kitchen. 1t is
said Abeberg made love to her.
The lodge members present were Mes
DANES. Fred Crete, Scott, Adams, G. H
Crete, Avery and Hall, and Mr.. Abel
Berg.
The guests we're the Misses Bessie,
Gladys and Miriam Crete, and Lottie
and Messrs. Scott, @. H. Crete,
Green Adams, Ed. Crete, F. D. Hall
and r. g. Adams.
1t was with sadness and regret that
they said good night at the last meeting
of Miriam Rebecca lodge No. 2. The
ties of years are not easily or lightly
broken.

Of Long Ridge the brake slipped and the
way the machine went down wasn't slow.
They went to Flint Sunday, returning
that evening. Monday morning Mr..
Courtney and Mr.. Elver left for Nampa;
they went by way Of Reynolds.

BASEBALL IN DELAMAR

The'baseball game in DeLamar between
that town and Jordan Valley came of as
per schedule. The game was a good one
as long as it lasted, the score being 7 to
4 in favor of the former team, when it
was called in the fourth on account of too
much moisture. As neither team had
vengence, the game will be continued in
Jordan Valley in coupleof weeks, when
the championship will be decided.

EXHIBITS
WAN TED
Idaho TO Send Big Mineral Ex-
hibit 10 Land Shows In
the East

Last week Major George A. Williams
was in this section of the country in the
interest of the Idaho exhibit at the var
ious land shows in the East. These shows
are to be held at Omaha, Pittsburg, New
York and Chicago. The dates are:
Omaha Land Show, October 1928; Pitts
burg Land Show, October 1918; New
York Land and Irrigation Congress. No
yember 3-12; Chicago Show in Decem-
Der.
Along with the agricultural display Of
this state at these land shows there win
be an exhibit of the ores of Idaho. 1t is
for this department that Mr.. Williams is
soliciting. These ores are desired as gifts
by the exhibitors to the state Of Idaho. to
be placed in room set aside for the pur-
pose in the new state capitol building
now in course Of construction.
These ores are to be shipped by the
donors in fifty pound packages to State
Immigration Commissioner S. j. Rich,
Boise, Idaho. The freight is to be paid
by the state.
When the ore is boxed card is to be
be placed inside, giving the name of the
mine, the district and the county in
which the mine is situated. No very rich
ore is desired, as a return is not guaran-
teed. Good, average ore only is desired.
The ore must be in Boise by the mid
die of September, as the car is to be
loaded between the fifteenth and twenti-
eth of this month.
This exhibit is to be great advertise
ment for Idaho. 1t will be in competi-
ton with many other states in the great
centers of population. Someone win be
present to describe the exhibits-in the
mining department the character Of the
ore, the conditions of the district, and
the owners Of the properties. And no
doubt many who win look upon the fruits,
vegetables and grains, and the ores with
precious metals in them, will feel the
land hunger or the irresistible gold fever.
Then, when the ores return, they are
to be placed in special room in the cap
itol building. This exhibit is to be the
nucleus of magnificent display, belong
ing to the state of Idaho and her people.
All the other mountain states have per
mineral exhibits; Colorado alone
has spent thousands OF dollars in this di-
rection. And if the present plans ma
ture, Idaho will soon eclipse them all.
Owyhee county has place in this ex-
hibit. Let her fill it as she should. She
stands near the top in gold and silver
production. Her future is bright. Help
make her exhibit a success. Let every
prospector and company in Owyhee send
not less than fifty pounds of fair ore.
This is a good chance to advertise Owy-
nee; SO let everyone help.

A CARD.

To the Voters of Wayne County:
| take this method of returning
my thanks for the nomination given
me by my friends at the late primar-
les, for the Office of Prothonotary. /
fully appreciate this mark of their
confidence in me, and if chosen to the
office in Novemger shall endeavor to
justify this confidence by a faithful
performance of all official duties.
My record is before the public and |
wish to be judged by it. My best eff
forts have been given to the service
of the people, in a legislative posi-
tion, which it is well known, affords
an inadequate compensation; and 1
now appeal to the people for their
support in my efforts to attain a
position in which the performance of
duty is better rewarded.
Yours respectfully,
LEOPOLD FUERTH.
