Virgins, who with Will Rogers
has been indicted here by the
San Miguel county grand jury or
the charge of unlawfully enter
ing a residence and assault, in con
nection withthe famousWaldoRog
ers kidnapping case, was placedon
trial this morning in the district
court. His attorneys demurred
to the, indictments, in that not
less than four crimes are alleged
in the Indictment under which
the prisoner. has been arraigned
The attorney desired to know
which of the charges his client
was to be tried for. He said that
his client would be willing to
plead guilty to a charge of kid
mapping, but that he would not
do so to the charges of burglary
and the other charges in the in
dictments.
Captain Fornoff, Of the Noun
ted Police, claims he has plenty
of evidence to convict Wiggins,
and that as soon as the trial is
under way the public generally
will understand the difficulties
the officers surmounted in un-
covering the proof.
A most sensational trial is an
ticipated. It is expected that
Will Rogers will be the principal
witness for the prosecution, and
will relate all Of the circumstan-
ces surrounding the case from
beginning to end. The entire
Rogers family has been sub
poenaed as witnesses. The court
room has been crowded, altho
the jury has not as yet been Sc
cured in the case.

ROMERO SAWMllL,
NEAR TAJlQU6
A T0ThL LOSS

The sawmill belonging to
Eugenio Romero, located on
land Of the Pennsylvania De-
velopment Company, three
miles northwest of Tajique.
was entirely destroyed by fire
yesterday, the conhagration
beginning sometime during
the night of Thursday. Just
how the file started is a mys-
terry. One theory is that sparks
from the Gsh heaps where
slabs had been burned during
the day were famed into life
by the high wind. Anot her is
incendiarism. The former is
thought the more probable.
A large amount Of lumber,
estimated at almost a million
feet, was destroyed along with
che Mill. Sparks and flying
embers distributed the fire
over an immense tract Of
land, the property Of the Penn
sylyania Development Com
pany, destroying some mer-
charitable timber, and quite a
growth of young timber. Fire
fighters under Forest Ranger
Gains have been working all
day yesterday to prevent the
further spread of the fire.
About nine O'clock last night
a telephone message from Ia
jique was to the effect that
the fire was under control, and
no further damage was antici-
pated.
Mr.. Romero earned insur-
ance on the lumber in the
yards in the sum of eight
thousand dollars. There was
no insurance on the plant. The
! loss above the insurance will
be between fifteen and twenty
| thousand dollars.

MADERO NOT

MEXICO CITY

Juarez, Mexico, May .19-Fran-
cisco I. Madero. Jr., provisional
president of Mexico, has definite
ly decided to postpone his anti
cipated visit to Mexico City. The
exact reason for the postponent
is not known. There are rumors
to the effect that the visit will
cost him his life should he make
the trip, as the feeling in the
capital is bitter against him. Mr.
Madero, in a statement today,
said, Il am going to Mexico City
as soon as arrangements for the
elimination of peace negotiations
are completed. I have faith in
the federal government. There
are rumors in circulation that an
attempt will be made on my life.
I do not take these al all serious
ly. But even if l knew it would
cost my life to secure the freedom
and peace of our country, | would
not hesitate to go.' But it has
developed that he will not go at
this time.

WILL, LICK

appears to be. Several copies
Of this letter have been received

Mr., Andrews mailing list needs
revision, as a great deal of sport
is being had over this circular.
No doubt the Republicans, men
toned in the circular are head
over heels in favor of i'm
mediate statehood' when they
give us the promise that the
resolution will be licked in the
Senate when by adopting the
resolution and allowing NewMex-
leo to vote on the amendment
clause, statehood would be right
at our doors. Why should they
object to leaving the matter to a
vote, when they claim a majori-
ty of $4,000 of the voters in the
territory will be feminist it? That
ought to be a sufficient majority
to snow it under.

My dear Sir
[ am enclosing you herewith a
copy of House Joint Resolution
No. IA, as amended by the dem
ocratic House Committee on Ter
ritories. This was done by the
democratic members of the COM
mittee, the republican minority
members refusing to concur.
The republican minority mem
bers of the committee will make
a minority report, to simply ap-
prove of the constitution, same
as my original joint resolution
295. They will report the resolu-
ton to the House tomorrow and
of course it will pass the House
with the aid of the steam rollers
they will use on US, but the fight
will begin in the House next Tues
day the 10th and the democrats
claim they want three days to
discuss it, It is a pretty tough
proposition taken in all. The
constitution Of Arizona is amen
ded in the section Of the Recall
Of the Judges and Arizona will
have to vote on this or else stay
out. Of course the republicans
will make a fight in the House to
lick this democratic resolution,
but as I have said above it will
pass the House, but the Senate
will knock it out and we will lick
them in the Senate. This is the
situation as it stands at present.
The above is brought about by
those Patriots, Ferguson,
Jones, Hand, Magill and Co.

The state legislature passed some
very important laws. One of them
being what is known as the public
utilities bill. This is probably the
most important legislation OF the
present session. The present members
of the railway commission will con-
tinue in charge OF the railroad COM
mission. The law is amended in a
large number of important particulars,
chief among which are provisions re-
curing a speedy determination by
the courts when appeals are taken
from the commission orders. This
cures a weakness of the present law
where orders Of the commission made
a year ago have not yet been disposed
of by the courts. Another change
prevents railways increasing rates
without the approval of the commits
sion and requires all changes in rates
to be thirty days with the commission
before being effective. The bill also
permits the average plan to apply on
demurrage, and gives the commission
power not only to require the railroads
to furnish proper station facilities
and train service, but also to furnish
proper comforts in quarters for en-
ployes. The bill extends the powers
of the commission over all public
service corporations, including heat,
power and steamboat. The predic-
ton is made by members of the COM
mission that the investigation of the
real value of these properties in the
state will add thirty million or more
to the assessment rolls. This predlc-
ton is based upon the accomplish
ment following the commission s
valuation of railway property in the
past years.

past years.

Through bitter contest between
the House and Senate, at the meeting
of the state legislature, the State
road work will practically be elim1nat-
ed during the next two years. An
appropriation was made for finishing
the roads already established, but
owing to the deadlock in the Senate,
al new work will have to be abandon
ed. 1t is probably just as we'll. The
State Road law has not proven sue
cess, and until some practical plan
has been worked out the money should
remain in the tax payers pocket,
rather than being squandered on state
roads. The Ranch has always been
good roads advocate but after seeing
the way the state road fund has been
managed during the past two years,
we are of the opinion that radical
changes should be made, or the law
would better be repealed. A road
law was passed which allowed the ex-
penditure of money to be entirely
under the control of the county COM
missioner of the different counties.
Perhaps two years experience will
give the tax payers chance to de-
termire a more practical plan of
building roads. Everybody acknowl-
edges the need of good roads, but
everybody is not wise enough to pre-
sent a plan that will produce desirable
results.

Meadows for King County Fair

Prospects for the Western Washing

fully during the past week, when a
proposition to purchase the Meadows,
near Seattle, for fair grounds received
the favorable consideration of large
number of heavy tax payers. The
fair so far has been so hampered by
want of suitable grounds as to prac-
tically destroy it's usefulness. The
grounds at Madison park could be
reached only by a single Car line,
and stock had to be unloaded two or
three times. In spite of a large
amount of money being spent by

The parcels post, long hoped for by
our farmer friends, was defeated
again by Congress, in spite of the
recommendation of both the Presi-
dent and Postmaster general. The
law that they propose was not of
much value, but it would have broken
the ice, and the people would never
allow it to be repealed after once
started. The Republican party in
the house is now out of power, and the
Democratic party is responsible for
all financial measures. A new Con-
gress has been called for April 4th,

The Legislature passed law which
has an emergency clause, and is in
force now, in effect that any ten
residents of a county may petition
the commissioners for district, with
in which stock may be prohibited
from running at large. The commits
sioners then set time OF hearing,
and take action as they deem best
on the matter. No district SO Great
ed, however, is to be less than two
square miles in extent. The law also
provides that swine shall not be allow
ed to run at large anywhere at any

several wealthy citizens of Seattle, it
could not be made successful on &C.
count of the location. 1t was prac-
tically decided to abandon it. The
county has tract of 60 acres of land
beyond Ballard. and another tract of
90 acres near Georgetown. It is pro-
posed to take the Meadows property
consisting of 105 acres, and at Price
about So, 900 an acre. including the
improvements which it is claimed are
worth about 800, 600 and sell the Bal
lard property at about 800, 600 and
part of the Georgetown property, to
pay for the Meadows.
The Meadows is the old racing
grounds between Georgetown and
Kent, about five miles from Seattle.
These grounds are reached by three
transcontinental railways, the interur-
ban and Seattle street cars, so the
location could hardly be surpassed.
A half million people live within two
hours ride of it. The improvements
are just what is needed, being an
enormous grand stand, good track
and stables. 1t is proposed to lease
the grounds if the commissioners
close a deal with the owners, to the
Western Washington Fair Association
for a short term Of years, until the
county can take charge itself. Ii this
deal goes through, there is nothing to
prevent King county having the big
gest fair of the state. The many tax
payers who met the county commits
sioners were practically unanimous
for the plan. The commissioners are
also ready to act. All the influential
business men of Seattle so far as
learned are willing to help. They
realize and admit that this fair will
promote the livestock industry and
the fruit industry of Western Washing
ton as will nothing else. Mr.. YandelE,
secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, told the meeting the reason
Washington did not receive the mil
lions of money the Swift Packing
plant put into Oregon was because
this state Was taking no interest in
the building up OF the live stock in
dustry the thing we must have If we
ever become a great agricultural state.

The Canadian reciprocity

The Canadian reciprocity measure
was defeated by Congress, but the
Democratic Congress, which is called
to meet on the 4th of April, will
probably pass it. In theory this is
right. The only objection is that it
works disadvantage on the farmer
in favor of the manufacturer. We do
not believe its passage will seriously
effect the farmer in anyway, but it
does seem that every forward move
ment proposed is against the farmer
and in favor of bis rivals.
