The original contract entered in between the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient and the government was for subsidy grant of 5000 Ia kilometer of constructed track. In their petition the railroad states that owing tc the difficulties en- countered in a financial way and the rough section of country they have had to traverse to complete the roadbed it will be impossible for them 10 complete the road from Ojinaja to this city for long time. In return for the augmenting of the subsidy they promise to com plete the line from Ojinaja to this city within a year and half and erect freight and passenger depot close to town. The petition is now before the legislature and 1t is 10 be hoped that that body will grant the petition as the country over which. the road will be ru his rich in minerals, fine farming land and many cattle ranches.

Mexican Herald: The student bullfght held yesterday afternoon turned out to be one of the worst that has taken place for long time. The bulls which were fought were no good and died of fear. The principal attraction as usual were the ladies As President Ma dero arrived, he was received with loud aplause and the bands played the National Hymn. Mir. Madero does not care for bulI6ghts and left after the first bull was killed.
 Mexican Herald: Great in- terest is felt locally over the Ca tholic art exposition which will be held in the Villa de Guadalupe, in December. 1912 It is proposed to erect many beautiful exposition buildings, the principal one to be dedicated afterwards as an orphan. age. In these buildings will be gathered art treasures from some of the principal Catholic countries of the world. At the opening of the exposition on Guadalupe Day, December 12, 1912, it is proposed to have the Virgin of Guadalupe made patroness of the Americas.
 Mexican Herald: The popular ily of Francisco Chaves, the chief of the secret police, who is now in prison, is shown by the fact that some of the merchants of the city are getting up a petition to request the minister of gobernacion 10 put him again in his place, since they claim that no one else knows the rateros as he does and that no one else can protect their interests as he did. It is stated in some places that he is apt to be raised to in- spector.genera in place of General Rodrigo Valdez, who has been i'm prisoned.

 Chihuahua Enterprise: The em- ployes of the National Lines are out again with another threat to strike. This time, they say again they mean business and will sure- ly tie up the road unless their de- mands are met with. The de- mands consist chiefly of requests for the discharge of all foreigners working on the railways, and un- less again, these demands are not compiled with, the men say they will walk out.

/. The man with the tongde that is
true,
Who won't promise to do ANY more
than he can
But who'll do what he says he'll do
He may not be clever, he's often
quite blunt
Without even polish or air,
But, though it's not in him to put up
front
When you need him he's always
there.
SO here's to the man on whom one
can rely
And here's to his lasting success,
May his species continue to multiply
And his shadow never grow less"
