zen of Parker, it will be necessary
for us all to pull together regardless
of party affiliations. In order to ac-
complish the desired results it seems
to me that a representative in the

under present conditions, and If it
is the wishes of our citizens that

81 would not care to enter the race,
however, if anyone else at Parker

simply one of serving the wishes Of
our people and working for the fur
ther prosperity OF Parker instead of
aspiring for political honors. l ap-
preciate the confidence placed in me,

Mr.. brennan will accept the office

is the home of several hundred fisher
men, who have their sailing vessels
and launches, and dozen or more of
them will go together out in the Gulf
forty or fifty miles from shore. There
they fish for several days, then return
and sell their fish for to 10 cents per
pound. They also catch many large
turtles which are two to three feet
across. Sponge fishing is also great
industry. The best sponges are secured
about forty miles from Key West. Two
men go out in a small boat, and one
man runs the boat while the other holds
a glass and looks through it to locate
the sponges at the bottom of the sea.
In one hand he holds pole about sixty
feet long with hook on the end with
which he gathers the sponges from the
bottom, fifty or sixty feet below. The
U. S. government has navy yard at
Key West, and also number of fine
buildings. On their grounds they have
one of the largest wireless stations in
the world. The net, or Sound col
lector," as they call it, is held in the air
nearly two hundred feet from the
ground by three poles. This sound COL
lector is made in the form of net and
is composed of thirty wires one way
about three feet apart and the same the
other way, making net about one
hundred feet square. From this the
wires run to the office below, where
the machines work the same as in any
telegraph office.
After being in that city few days
we were perfectly astonished- as most
people would be-to find city as large
as Key West being controlled with so
few police as there were there. We
were through the entire city and sell
dom saw policeman. Most people
going to a small island Ill miles from
the mainland would imagine they were
going to 'heathen land" but you will
find the people of Key West much far
Their from the land of heathens than
many of them in our large cities. We
attended many lectures and meetings
in several of the large cities on our trip
through the south and east, and can
safely say this city has as many
churches and civilized people as any
city of its size in the United States.
And we might add that it has larger
attendance at its religious meetings.
In this day and age many people are
eager and grasping for learning, and
on trip like this much of it can be
had. The great trouble with the most
of us when taking a vacation of this
kind is that we do not memorize the
mostimportant things, simply pass them
by thereby losing much knowledge
and many recollections which we would
cherish in future years.

ENTERS UPON
ARDUOUS TASK
Mexican Finance Minister Trying
to Arrange Peace.
NO PROPOSALS FROM REBELS
Senior limantour Warns Mexicans
That Danger of international
Complications Increase.

Mexico City, March 21.-With a
warning to all Mexicans that with
every day the rebellion continues the
danger of International complications
increases, a plea to them to rally to
the support of General Diaz, and a
declaration that the government never
can enter into peace negotiations with
individuals in arms, Finance Minister
Jose Yves Limantour entered upon
the task of pacification which the
world at least has set for him and up
on the outcome of which the world
is interested.
Mr.. Limantour called upon the presi.
dent at the national palace. The meet.
ing was cordial in the extreme, the
old time friends shaking one another
by the hand and embracing repeated
ly. Then followed a conference lasting
more than an hour at which no other
person was present. At its conclusion
Senior Limantour said that only gen.
eralities We're discussed.
Senior Limantour asserted that the
statement that he was the bearer Of
conditions for the establishment OF
peace, placed in his hands by the Ma.
deros in New York, was an absurdity.

FAMOUS RELIC DESTROYED
The Funeral Car Which Conveyed the Remains Of President
Lincoln Destroyed by Fire at Minneapolis.

ages as result of the attempt on his
life the night Lincoln was shot.
Sold Year Later.
In 1866, the government ordered all
of its railway material sold, including
the presidents car. 1t was purchased
by T. c. Durant, then building the
Union Pacific railway. The car was the
official car of the road for number of
years and was finally transferred to the
regular passenger service in the noun
tain division in Colorado. Later, when
its days of usefulness were over the car
was transferred to the shop yards. IN
1898 the Union Pacific railroad company
placed it on exhibition in the transpor-
tation building at the Omaha exposition
where it was visited by more than
1,250, 900 persons.
At the st. Louis worlds fair in 1904,
free space was granted and beautiful
building. The Lincoln museum, costing
Sl5, 200, was erected for the exhibition
of the car. The building was just north
of the Illinois state building and near
the Ferris wheel.
Bought by Thomas Lowry.
After the st. Louis world fair
Thomas Lowry purchased the car and
brought it to Minneapolis. 1t was
placed in Columbia Heights, and has
been there ever since, center of inter-
est for thousands of persons.
The funeral car had recently been
giving by the heirs of Mr.. Lowry to the
Minnesota Federation of Women's clubs
for the purpose of its removal to Men,
dota to be preserved with the old Sibley
house as part of a state historical
museum. The removal was to have
taken place next summer.

FARMERS MAY DO MILLING

At a meeting of the local farm
ers' union last Saturday the
proposition was placed before
the farmers of this section to
either purchase or acquire stock
in the local flour mill and con-
vert the same into farmers
union mill. A committee was APP
pointed to examine the mill and
report at the regular meeting on
Saturday, March 4th, at which
time all members of the union
are requested to be present in
order that the matter may be
acted upon advisedly.
If the farmers decide to pur-
chase the mill or to acquire stock
in it the aim will be to put the
mill on a "a hour basis and oper-
ate it with electric power. BY
so doing it can be operated much
more cheaply and its output will
be doubled. Most of the grain
grown in this section can be con-
verted into flour and sold at a
much better price than on the
regular market. The proposition
as presented is a very feasible
one and will perhaps result in
the union acquiring the mill at
no distant date.-Cottonwood

MOSCOW GETS
OFF CUTE ONE
Refuses to Accept Lewiston
AS Suburb, Even to
Reform Her.

BOISE, Idaho, Feb. Is. (Spec-
iaD There was a ripple Of laugh
ter in the house Friday morning
when minority leader w. M. Nor
gan, of Latah county, with few
facetious remarks, offered for
reading a remonstrance from res
idents of Moscow against annex
ing Lewiston to Latah county.
The protest came in answer to
the recent petition from Lewiston
people asking for annexation to
Latah county on the special
grounds that if all the new coun-
ties asked for were cut out of
Nez Perez, Lewiston would be
beggared. The protest from Mos
COW is as follows:
Whereas, citizens of Lewis
ton have petitioned the legislat-
ure of the state of Idaho, ask
ing that Lewiston be annexed to
Latah county, and
Whereas, this will make the
city of Lewiston a suburb of
Moscow, therefore, for the follow
ing reasons, we, citizens of Mos
COW, do humbly protest, object
and demonstrate:
First, that it would increase
the cost Of local government with
out any accruing benefits.
Second, that Moscow has nc
ambition to engage in the bust
ness of a reformatory, and would
not invite situation that woulC
compel the necessity of admins
tering due punishment to refract
DRY mayors, obstreperous coun
cilmen, negligent policemen anc
an indifferent public.
Third, Latah county is alrigh
as she is; Moscow needs no "fix
ing" and Lewiston has nothing
that we need. We don't believ
in the theory that any tail shoul'
wag the dog, and we know from
long acquaintance that the pro
posed annexation tail would in
sist on reversing the natural or
der of things. Moscow and Latal
county would prefer to be bob
tailed canine, as inconvenient a
this may be in fly time, rathe

, "For these and other reason
which need not here be mentione
we pray the legislature of tn
state of Idaho to send the pre-
, posed measure to the place tina

in disrepute with all righteou

of the tariff on Canadian lumber,
paper, and wheat. They have,
however, pushed the United Stat
es farmers to the front as the
supposed injured parties and a
good many of the farmers of the
country have been fooled by that
sort of talk.
"A tariff, if justified at all, is
justified only on two grounds
one is the difference in labor
cost of producing any given ar
ticle here and abroad, and the
other is the necessity for revenue
In the ease of Canada it cannot
be shown that there is any differ
ence in labor cost between that
country and ours, therefore there
is no justification for the tariff.
With absolute free trade be
tween Canada and the UniteC
States. the relations between thu
Canadians and us would become
closer and might, in time, leao
to a union of the two countries
1t would be a glorious thing i
we could get rid of our Orienta
possessions and take in Canad'

"The Canadians, especially IL
Upper Canada, are our kind o
people. They are in sympath.
generally speaking, with on
ideas, and are well prepared TO

possessions will always be a dan

TRADE WITH

LeadingFarm Journal of Kan

or Free Trade.

lOlH MCANtdl, thItol VI bAiS
Farmers Mail and Breeze, of
Topeka, Kansas, the leading farm
journal of the middle west, with
a circulation of over 100000
among the farmers of the larg-
est wheat and other cereal rails
ing states of the union, gives ex-
preston editorially in his last
weeks paper to the following
views on reciprocity with Cana
da. They may suit some of our
readers and be radically out of
alignment with the opinions of
others, but coming from the
source they do they are at least
worth the reading:
81 cannot say that / have re-
ceived many letters from readers
concerning the proposed reciproc-
ity treaty with the Canadian gov
eminent. ] have one letter here
from a Kansas farmer who OPP
poses the treaty on the ground
that it will damage the farmers
of the United States.
eff l thought that were really
true l would be opposed to the
treaty. ] imagine, however, that
most of the sentiment against the
treaty has been carefully worked
up by the big millers, principally
from Minnesota. / hardly be-
lieve that the wheat growing
farmers, generally, know that
the tariff laws have always dis
eliminated against the wheat
grower and favored the northern
miller.
"There has been a tariff of 20
cents a bushel on wheat, which
the farmer was told was put on
for his protection against the
competition of the Canadian
wheat grower. He was not told,
however, that the northern mil
Ter was permitted to bring in
wheat from Canada, grind it into
flour, export the flour and get a
rebate of 95 per cent of the du.
ties paid on the wheat. That per
mitted the millers to enjoy prac
tieally free trade in wheat, while
their manufactured product wal
protected by high duty. Thu
United States farmer has beer
buying his flour in a protected
market, while the miller has pur
chased his wheat in what amount
to a free trade market.
"My own opinion is that thu
wheat growing farmer has beef
worked and that when he knows
the facts he will be in favor o
reciprocity treaty that will Civ
us free trade with Canada. TIL
only objection / have to the pro
posed treaty is that it does no
go quite far enough. If | coult
have my way about it, / woult
tear down all the customhouse
on the border line between Can
ada and the United States ant
let trade be as free between tn
people of the Dominion and u
as it is between the people o
the states of the union.
During the tariff debates oil
the Payne-Aldrich bill it wa
shown that wages in Canada ant
the United States are substanti
ally the same. Lumbermen hav
been in the habit of crossing tn
border, sometimes working il
Canadian camps and sometime
in the lumber camps on this sid
of the line, the demand for la
Dor sometimes making wage
higher on the Canadian side ant
at other times higher in tn
United States.
"The lumber interests, tn
