MaderO EnIoylna social FunotIons.


Juarez, Mex, May 27.-Relieved of
the dignities of Office of provisional
president, and in the character of a
private citizen, Madero waltzed mer-
rily last night at the ball at his home,
given by the women's clubs of the
city in honor of the success of the reyo-
luton. A string of social functions is
next on Madero's program. He will
probably leave Wednesday for Mexico
City.
Madero today received message
from President De La Barra, urging
him to come to Mexico City as soon as
possible. A message also was receiv-
ed from Saltillo, Coahuilla, saying that
the legislature there had named Car
rama provisional governor. Madero
had threatened to attack the city if
Carrahza was not named.

SCHOOLS CLOSE
WITH EXERCISES
Great Throng Gathered at Crane
Theatre to Hear the Commence
ment Program.
FROM SATURDAYS DAILY.

The seating capacity of the Grand
theatre was filed to its utmost last
night, with an audience of mothers,
fathers, brothers, sisters and friends of
the graduating class of the Vinita high
school, to hear the final exercises of
the term. A splendid program had
been arranged and each number was
presented in a splendid manner, and
the great audience went home rejoicing
in the pleasure afforded them by the
excellent program The musical num-
bers by the male quartet of the Pres
byterian church, the Chouteau boys,
the Winner trio, Rev w. 0. Davis and
Miss Irene Nichols were we'll render
ed. The medley by the graduating
class also was greatly enjoyed. In
the absence of I. M. Holcomb, of Okla
homa City, who was to have made the
principal address, that Office was filled
by Rev. J. M. Miller of the Christian
church. 1t is needless to tell those
who have heard the Rev. Mr.. Miller
that this was an able address.
The diplomas were presented by
Hon. Seymour Riddle, president of the
school board. There were eleven
members of the graduating class

Mexico City, May 27.-Porfirio Diaz,
to whom during thirty years all Mexico
has paid Difference, secretly left the
capital at two o'clock Friday morning.
Only a few friends, whom he trusted,
followed him to the station. He was
bound for Vera Cruz to take ship
for Spain. In the distance he could
hear the voices of enthusiastic cele-
brants who are acclaiming the new
president, Francisco Leon De La
Barra, and shouting viva Madero."
So carefully were the arrangements
made for his departure that details
could not be confirmed until this after
noon.
Secrecy was due less to apprehension
of a popular outburst here than to a
desire to reach Vera Cruz without the
fact being known to marauding bands

FLYNN TO FIGHT CARL
MORRIS ON JULY FOURTH

Tulsa, Okla, May 27.-At a late
hour last night contracts were signed
whereby Carl Norris of Tulsa, Okla,
heavyweight white hope, and jim
Flynn, of late the second" man in the
heavyweight class, will meet in a ff-
teen round contest at Tulsa on the
afternoon of July 4.
B. +. Ufer, manager of Carl Morris,
has been on the trail of Flynn for
some weeks and wrote many letters
relative to a match between the two
on the Fourth of July AS the upshot
of the matter, Flynn came down from
/! Kansas City yesterday morning and
after negotiating all day the march
was finally arranged.
The two will meet in an open arena
constructed in front of the grand stand
at the fair grounds on the afternoon
of July 4, at an hour to be named later.
Other than this, no information as to
the match has been given out by Man
ager Ufer. The terms of the match
are not known, Manager Ufer remain.
ing negative on the subject 1t is un-
derstood that a referee who is not
resident of Oklahoma will be secured
for the match.
When questioned about the prelim-
inaries to the fight, Mr.. Ufer stated.
1T is going to be an apple without a
core that hand to the people of Tul-
sa, Oklahoma. and the United States,
indicating that there will be no pre-,
liminaries.
The match between Morris and
Flynn will be one of the most import
ant in the history of late pugilism.
Never before have conditions been the
same as they are at present. Jack
Johnson is the champion of the world.
This condition is very strained as the
eyes of the entire world are looking |
for white man who can beat John
son. There are very few logical hopes
Kaufman was a hope, and is probably
a hope yet, but the star of his career
was dimmed in the recent battle at
Kansas City by Jim Flynn. AT the
same time, Flynn is thrust forward
as the champion of the white world.
Carl Morris is the most promising of
the new hope class"
Carl has shown a remarkable abil-
ity in the ring. He has won seven
battles None of these were big con-
tests. In looking for big game, Flynn
was singled out. The match has been
made and if Morris whips Flynn by a
single stroke he will be at the front
Jim Flynn, is clever fighter in the
extreme, having many nice side steps,

His real name is not Flynn, being
Andrew Chiariglion. Flynn is of Ger !

SENATOR LOR|MER
SOON TO RESIGN
Senate VIII Take Up Consideration
of Relnvestigation Again at
Next Session.

Washington, ID. c., May 27.-After
devoting practically the entire session
Friday to the discussion of the pro.
posed reinvestigation of the election
of Senator Lorimer, the senate adjourn.
ed without action, determined to pro-
eeed again with the question at its next
sitting, Monday Senator LaFollette
concluded his four-day speech and an
nounced that when the voting stage
is reached he will so change his reso-
luton as to provide that the senate
shall elect an investigating committee
of five from among the new senators.
Senator Borah supported the LaFol-
lette proposition and Senators Bailey
and Dillingham; opposed it.
Mr.. LaFollette said he had been in
fluencedto introduce his resolution for
a special committee on inquiry by fol-
lowing the Illinois investigation. New
investigators had been provided for
because he believed that the question
should 60 to a committee not handi-
capped by previous decision. The
next investigating committee, he felt,
must have the confidence of the peo-
pie, which he did not believe the old
standing committee on previliges and
elections would have The public, he
said, would consider the old commit
tee packed from the beginning, even
as has been charged in connection with
the Illinois juries in prosecutions
growing out of the case.
Mr.. LaFollette said If he were a
member of the old committee he would
not consent to serve on the new one
because he would not feel capable of
an impartial verdict.
Mr.. Bailey said that all the demo-
cratic senators desired a new investiga-
tion, he himself favoring it because of
the dicovery of new evidence. He said
the public sentiment against Mr.. Lori
mere was not we'll informed because
it had been shaped by newspaper ex-
preston rather than by reading of
the testimony. Saying there had been
no investigation by special commit
tee in an election case since the crea-
tion of the committee on privileges and
elections in 1871, Chairman Dilling-
ham of that committee expressed con-
fidence that if the investigation should
be placed in its hands 1t would present
such report as would command the
respect of the senate and of the coun-
try.
Senator Borah advocated a special
committee in the interest of disinter-
estedness. He regarded representa-.
tive government at stake and urged
a searching and impartial inquiry
In the cloak rooms of the senate
there was much discussion of a per-
sistent rumor that Senator Lorimer
might resign before the new inquiry is
actually authorized to protect his
friends from the attacks of those seek
ing to unseat him. Neither his col
league, Senator Cullom, nor any of the
members of the Illinois delegation in
the house would admit that they had
any knowledge of such an intention
on the part of Mr.. Lorimer.

men who made the active canvass in
their behalf. There does not seem ia
be any reason for shifting now OF
splitting the ticket that was nomi-
natedd.
The movement to date has been GEN.
tered in some quarters against Mr.
Crocker and an attempt made to dis
place him on the ticket. But Mr.
Crocker's candidacy has been careful
ly considered by the organiza tons
that have endorsed him. He stands
for good government and law enforce
ment. His stand is unequvocal and
he should receive the full support of
those who upheld his candidacy in the
primaries.
But the attack upon Mr.. Croker in
one quarter is no doubt being supple
mented by an attack against Mr.. Red
man in other quarters it is well
conceived and cleverly planned way
of defeating the ticket and should not
be considered for an instant by those

CONSERVING OUR OWN PEOPLE

Canada that is seeking to pass the
reciprocity measure and capture a
large portion of the trade of the Unit
ed States has in recent years been en-
gagged in capturing a large part of the
population of the same country
From recently compiled statistics it is
shown that 10000 settlers left the
United States in the first six months
of 1911 for residence in Canada. The
Canadians have established offices in
many large and small cities all along
the Pacific coast for the purpose of
inducing immigration from the Pa
cifc coast to Canada.
1t is plain that some counter action
should be taken to induct those who
are inclined to migrate to keep within
the nations boundaries where there is
a great variety of SOIL climate and
industrial conditions offering super
Tor inducements to the migratory
home seeker The railroads are al
ready developing such a movement.
1t is the plan of the Milwaukee to
stop the movement into Canada and
to send those who must move from
the coast to Montana or to some other
of the inter-mountain states and to
reverse the operation by sending the
emigrants from those localities to
points in the Pacific coast states. This
action is to be commended and will
help materially in building up the re-
sources of the great Northwest which
has many superior advantages over
the lands in the Canadian provinces
where so many of our American cit
liens have been lured.
In fact the Canadian Pacific point
ed the way to the American railroads
by painting the glories of the Cana
dian Northwest in the literature that
was distributed broadcast and then
clinching the matter by offering half
waukee is the first of the American
railroads to inaugurate a movement
to counteract the work being done by
the Canadian Pacific. 1t has begun
systematic colonization scheme and
has compiled for distribution exhaust
i've illustrative literature of the adj
vantages of the various sections cross
ed by its transcontinental lines.
The Canadian land promoter must
be met by the citizen on this side of
the border who is seeking to con-
serve the population and wealth of
the country and to develop it's vast
resources

LAST LINK COMPLETED
Black Rock IAne to Be Tied Into the
North Yakima Circuit

Next Tuesday the last link in the
big power system of the Pacific Power
and Light company will be completed
and tied into the system and power
sent over the line to North Yakima,
says the Columbian of Hanford.
The new line is known as the Black
Rock line and extends from the pow
er plant at Priest Rapids over the
mountains to the Mckee valley to
North Yakima. The line will carry
$4,000 vols and deliver power to that
portion of the system. The Priest
Rapids plans now feeds Coyote and
the Yakima end of the system and
with power generated at Naches goes
down the Yakima valley to Kenne-
wick Pasco and then up the valley to
Hanford and White Bluffs and on to
the plant again to complete the cir
cult, covering a distance of several
hundred miles and supplying power to
many towns and pumping plants.

FOR THE COMMISSION
TICKET

The Commission League ticket was
nominated at the primaries by a vote
that was aim st two to one, a splen-
did endorsement from the citizens Of
North Yakima who were evidently
Influenced by the plea that the de-
mand at this time was for efficient
men of known and tried stability.
men who stood unqualifiedly for law
enforcement, and for good govern
ment economically administered.
Since the primary there has been
an attempt made to split the vote
and to defeat the ticket in part if not
altogether. This attempt should be
defeated. The ticket as whole has
been carefully idered, and the
men chosen we're selected with an
idea of their particular fitness for the
duties to be assigned them under the
demands of the commission govern
ment. Those who are seeking to split
the ticket are only using a preteXt
as an opening wedge It is the old
political dodge of starting to scratch
the ticket knowing that if it is once
fairly started there is a chance to en-
compass its entire defeat.
1t will be remembered that the
Commission League ticket was chosen
in the first place by a non-partisan
body actuated only in the interests of
good citizenship, and that later the
Bolo club, another partisan or
ganization, carefully considered the
candidates named in connection with
the primary and made their choice
naming the same persons as the
league had named. There is some
thing more than a coincidence in this;
it is an emphatic endorsement of the
relative fitness of the candidates
In the primary these men were sup
ported by an overwhelming vote sup
porting tho ticket in it's entirety, and

THE WRINKLE MAKER

The time that you got angry-and a
very good excuse,
You had to tell the man just what
you thought
You evened up completely for his
meanness and abuse;
You got all the revenge that you had
sought,
But then it left wrinkle running
down between your eyes,
An anger-line that years will never
fade.
That man will feel your language till
the very hour he dies
But--was it worth the wrinkle that ii
made?
The time that you were worried over
what you feared might be
needless worry, after ALL you
For days and days the world was
tangled fiercely off the key,
And there was neither cheering sight
nor sound,
And all that left its wrinkle carved its
story firm and deep.
For worry has an art that's true and
deft.
You had lot of useless loss of APP
petite and sleep,
And-was it worth the wrinkle that il
left?
The time that you we're busy-you
had something big to do,
You plotted and you studied and you
schemed;
You held your place, determined that
you'd drive the project through,
Until you'd dared and done all that
you'd dreamed.
And now the wrinkle tells it, and the
heartless wrinkles trace
The stories we would rather none
should find.
There's something sort of soulless-
wTinkled down into your face,
Was all that worth the wrinkles left
behind?

Bees as a Sidcline

The following is taken from a Colo
RADIO paper and tells of the profit that
one man made on bees in that state in
one year:
From an investment of s15.55, two
swarms of bees made $21 worth of
honey. Besides, they furnished honey
for a family of four from the middle
of June until Christmas and gave a
new swarm of bees worth s. last
year. From one hive 100 pounds of
honey were taken. At Is cents a
pound, the average selling price of
the honey, it brought $16.35. The
two swarms of bees were worth $40,
and the hives, including one for the
new swarm. at S1.S5 each, were
worth $555, making the invoice
$15.55. AS one swarm made $16.35
worth of honey, it made so cents
more than enough to pay for the total
expenditure. What the other swarm
made was clear profit.
Most people who have never ham
died bees are prejudiced against them
and are afraid to have them about.
Those who have had any experience
with them know that they do not re-
quire much work and that if the care
they do need is given at the proper
time the bees will give good returns
for the investment. All the informa-
ton that a beginner needs to know is
given in Farmers Bulletin No. 447.
If bees are given plenty of room in
the hive they will not be apt to
swarm. Ten frame hives with a large
opening at the entrance are the most
satisfactory.

One bee, with hive complete.
Ten square yards of grass.
Six wall-howers, with six pieces OF

One safety lawn-mower, with pat
