CLAIMS S4, ,OOO DAMAGES. -. Joseph Rinaldo Says Troops
 Seized His Property.

The inevitable claims against the Mexican government arising out of the activities of the in surrectos along the border are beginning to come in. Joseph Rinaldo, a naturalized citizen of the United States, has filed with the Department of State a claim against the republic of Mexico for S4, eco for property alleged to have been taken by the Mex ican federal troops at Agaa Prieta, across the line from Douglas, Arizona.
 Rinaldo complains that the federal troops, claiming that he was a sympathizer with the in- surrectos, entered his place April 15, took everything he had in the way of provisions and de- stroyed his furniture. The claim was filed by John $ Duffie & Go. of this city. Washington Even ing Star.

WEST COAST TOMATO CROP

The tomato crop in Mexico this year is the largest in the history of the effort, but hos tilities in that country have in terfered with shipments, say recent arrivals in Tucson.
 During the first three months of this year 141 car loads of tomatoes were exported, as against S7 cars last year. Dur ing the first three months of the year 1,147 ,57O pounds of toma- toes and green vegetables were exported, an excess of 9S2, ,O93 pounds over total shipment the same period last year. The greater part of the tomato crop is raised near Los Mochis, in the Fuerte river valley in North Sinaloa, and ill the Yaqui river valley in northern Sonora.
 The increase is due mainly to increased production and the fact that the crop matured earlier this year than last. To- matoes from those Mexican dis tricts and Southwest Texas are found in the markets of the north at Christmas time and early in January. In fact, these are the two sections of. the con tinent largely devoted to supply ing the colder parts of the coun- try with winter vegetables in wide range of variety. Star:

LOWER COST OF COPPER

The decline in the price of copper has been met by many copper companies almost with out exception, by radical reduc- tions in the cost of producing.
 In many cases reductions have been forced in order to show the mines any profit.
 The lake properties have been unable to reduce costs to any material extent.
 The Amalgamated properties have been able to knock off nearly l cent per pound in cop per costs during the past year through consolidation, the i'm troduction of electricity, etc, Phelps Dodge company, produc- ing 175, ,OOO,COO pounds of cop per, have reduced cost 1 2 cent per pound on their total produc- tion, as has the Calumet and Arizona, while the Old Dominion has reduced it's costs about 2 cents per pound, the Shannon about 2 cents per pound and the Greene -Cananea, having passed through it's construction period, has it's costs below 10 cents.-' PrOSDectOr.

GOLD ROAD SALE CON
 FIRMED.

From an authentic source we learn this week that the control of the famous Gold Road Mining & Exploration company has gone over to the United States Min ing, Smelling and Refining com pany, and that the new corpora tion officials will take charge within the next ten days.
 The price for which the com pany passes it's title is approxi- mately 100000. While there are many outstanding shares of the corporation that will not be effected by the transfer it is understood that all offerings of stock will be taken by the new company.
 The sale of the Gold Road mines to the United States peo- pie means big things to the gold belt of this county, as it gives to the district the unqualified ap- proval of engineers of world re- nowned fame, and this after months of observation and close investigation. The general i'm ,pressiOn is that bettermentS to the amount of more than a million dollars will be put in at the mines and the mill increased to tripple it's present capacity Miner.

The Florence school board
 has decided, inasmuch as there
 are not sufficient funds on hand
 to properly repair the old build | ing, and bonds would have to be l issued to do this, that they get l plans and estimates for a new
 and up-to date building, one that will be large enough to house additional grades when,
 required, and above all things
 one that will be more nearly
 frely-proof than the old one.
 The present building has been
 in use for a good many years

 that the people of Florence

 The government is advertising for contract to deliver a pumping plant cable for furnished 100, GOO gallons of water at an elevation of 100 feet, in the vicinity of Kingman. Just what this plant is to be is a conundrum, and many inquiries are being made The contract will probably be l let this month and then we will learn all about it.

FAWCETT
MEETING

A. II. TitIow will be one of the
speakers at the Fawcett meeting
which will be held at Odd Fell
lows hall, Fern Hill, this cven-
ing.
TOnight's meeting will be the
first "Fawcett's' meeting of the
campaign and indications are that
an immense crowd will be present.
Fern Hill was the center of the
street car fight and the residents
of that section will go down the
line almost to man and woman
for the mayor who did for them
in time of dire trouble.
Mr.. Titlow is the man whom
Seymour refused to meet in public
debate. He is regarded as one
of the best speakers in Tacoma
and the meeting should be red hot
from start to finish.

'porters make use Of such insignifi-
cant campaign material shows to
what desperate straits they are
driven to draw the voters from
Fawcett.
1t seems to me that the recall
OF the mayor should be based
upon what he has done in the
management of his present office
and not upon what he has done in
the past. In my opinion the may
or has done his full duty to the
people who elected him, and in
no particular can see where
he has betrayed the public.
The Scandinavians will not be
misled by such poor attempt to
swing their vote for the saloon
corporation candidate.

Opinions over the telephone.
lFawcett's fight in behalf of these
people will never be forgotten, and
try as they would, the Seymour
people have signally failed in their
efforts either as regard men and
women in Fern Hill.
Express CONSERVATION.
Attacks upon the Tacoma Times
by the Seymour press Immediate
ly resulted in an expression of
public opinion that the Seymour
cause was regarded as desperate
in his own camp. Realizing the
mistake, the Seymour press in an
endeavor to Offset the dilemma
began claiming the election in or
der to promote confidence.
Mayor Fawcett declares that he
will defeat Seymour and Barth
by a majority of 5000. In the
past he has shown rare Judgment
In calling the turn but it remains
to be seen whether his figures are
correct in the present instance.
There is reason to believe that
a big per cent of the women vote
will go to Fawcett despite activity
of the Seymour machine. Con-
siderable bitterness has arisen as
a result of the absolute avoidance
of real facts as regards the moral
issue and even some women on
the executive board of the Wom-
ems Educational league have
strongly asserted that they will
vote for Fawcett.
The. saloons and Sandberg eIe-
ment Is. counting on a sufficient
number of women to bring about
at least second election. State
ments made by the Seymour press
that Seymour would not have the
saloons and the dive element is as
base a falsehood as entered into
the campaign. Any man who
wishes to realize the truth will
tell you without quibbling that
Pete Sandberg and his henchmen
are after Fawcett's scalp.
Mayor Fawcett in claiming that
he will Ibe elected by 5000 ma
jorfty, figures that a good ma
jority of the women will refuse to
align themselves with the saloon
and dive element.

statement:
The affidavit was published In

him. In Justice to the mayor I
want to say that he excused him

of Barth, the socialist candidate,
declare that Barth will receive
more votes than Seymour. It was
reported today that negotiations
we're under way for a bet of

and Fawcett.
The Seymour faction naturally
is anxious that the vote will be

DIVE KEEPERS LOOK
FOR WOMAN BALLOT
SALOON HOPE is BASED ACTIVITY SEYMOUR WOMEN
WHO WILL BE OUT IN AUTOMOBILES WORKING
FEAT FAWCETT.

Tacoma is feverish on the eve
of election.
A strange spectacle and yet one
that has featured many a munici-
pal struggle is witnessed. Flying
about the city in autos are many
women, working for Mr.. Seymour.
Tomorrow they will loan their
autos to women not SO fortunate
to own one, if the autoless women
choose to accept the offer. Also
working hand in hand to defeat
Fawcett is the dive element.
And along Pacific avenue and
down where the Sandberg dive
element reigns deep rooted
laughter has gone up. The dives
and the saloon have once again
succeeded to certain extent IN
securing church support.
Exception Is made to the fact
that the church vote will go solid
ly with the Sandberg element IN
view of the fact that certain min
listers and certain well known
church people have expressed
themselves as adverse to the poll
tical game which has been played.
Any man who desires to know
where the Sandberg crowd stands
has but to visit the Kentucky sa-
loon, where Sandberg makes his
headquarters. This same crowd
fought with the wealthiest ward In
town against the anti-treating or
dinance.
All last week papers who have
fought the people as a whole for
years were pleased to talk much
about the South End" It Is
realized that a solid South End
vote for Fawcett will defeat Mr..
Seymour beyond doubt. The
press which is endeavoring to
'toady' to the South End will be
pleased to forget all about that

election. But campaign times
are different
