The searchlight. [volume] (Culbertson, Mont.) 1902-current, 1911-09-08

The cool weather and abundant rains
in the past few weeks assure the North
west farmers good crops. More than
usual returns will be had by many of
the more progressive farmers, who will
exhibit at the New York and other big
land shows. The habit of exhibiting at
these big shows il q good one to get-it
brings honor and money to the enterpris-
ing farmer. In past years the Northwest
farmers have won many prizes for the
best Potatoes-barley-
finest apples-and prize winning corn
sugar beets, alfalfa and hops are also
raised. Every time Northwest farmer
wins a prize at the big land shows more
settlers come into the Northwest and
many times they move close by the prize
winners farm. This increases the value
of his land and brings him good, ambi-
tious neighbors, who also get the prize
getting habit.
$1,000 for the Best Wheat in the World
Take the great new land show-the
New York Land Show, which will be held
between November 3 and IL, 1911. For
the best hard wheat 81 900 in gold Is
offered to the farmers of the world. There
is big silver cup for potatoes 81 900
cup. The Northwest ought to win that
potato cup, as well as the wheat prize
money. Then there is the Earling cup
for the best oats-the James J. Hill cup
for the best 100 pounds of wheat-the
Busch cup for hops-the Pabst cup for
barley. All these are beautiful cups, all
worth 81 900, except the Pabst barley cup
that's worth 81 800. Surely the North
west should win these cups. Where else
do they raise such potatoes, wheat, bar
ley, oats, etc.f
$500 for Apples.
President Elliott. of the Northern Pa.
cifc Railway, has offered $500 IN gold for
the finest apples. The apples raised in
Montana, Oregon and Washington are
easily the best in the world. They bring
the highest prices and have the best
favor, color apd keeping qualities, as the
National Apple Shows have demonstrated.
II is now harvest time, and the farm
ers of this section should go after these
prizes. The Great Northern Railway will
help the farmers in their territory win
these prizes. No entry fee will he charged
at the New York Land Show. The Great
Northern Railway will make a special
arrangement to handle these exhibits.

BEST ROADS ON EARTr
Surprising to Learn That c*A Ar
i'm Northern Afri,

In January of this year l saw III
Algeria and Tunisia what I believe to
be the best constructed public high
ways in the world" and take off my
hat to the clever Frenchmen who. in
their possessions in north Africa have
shown mankind how to build model
roaSs," said J. Augustus Noakes, of
London, an English scientist and tray-
eler, at the Stafford.
There is one particular stretch of
road, that between Bougie AMI Jijeli.
200 miles in length, that is positively
the best example of road-making on
earth. Winding along a forbidding
coast for almost its whole route, it
was cut out Of the solid rocks over
hanging the sea at a great height and
forming the most wonderful cornice
in existence.
Here France has built not for to-
days needs. but for the future and
these north African roads are fully
the equal Of those world-renowned
highways the ancient Romans made.
Ihey are opening the country to com
merce and civilization and preparing
it for the immense population it will
some day surely have Alderay a
splendid system exists, network not
only Of main roads, but Of minor
ones, even the mountain pathways
showing the same care and skill Of
construction. Mind you, they have
been built not only near the cities,
but far out into the desert for the
benefit of the great caravans as they
journey between the towns and the
heart of Darkest Africa.
"Of the most permanent and en-
during character are these French
highways; all the bridges and tunnels
are of stone; the outer walls. along
a cliff or over the sea are a yard high
and eighteen inches thick. They are
rot interrupted by the deepest gorge
or the lOftiest mountains. The engi-
neers who did the work were masters
Of their profession, who gloried in ac-
complishing a job that will be praised
for centuries to come.
The entire system is kept in fault
less order. The whole territory is dj-
Vided into sections, each with all
oVerseer in command Of a squad Of
laborers, the government giving the
oVerseer fine residence and ade-
Quate salary-Baltimor American.

EARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO.
ARE KILLED AND
SENENTY-FIVE INJURED.
over Half the Dead Killed i'm Bar
racks.-The Property Damage is
S5O,OOO-NO Americans Injured by
Shocks.

Mexico City, June 7.-Sixty-three
Killed. IS wounded, property loss,
$4,000.
These are the net results Of an
earthquake which visited the capital
this morning and injected a note of
tragedy into what was expected to
be day Of pure rejoicing. When
the work Of searching the ruins is
completed it Is possible that the list
of the dead will be somewhat higher
and there are doubtless many
wounded, who, with traditional fear
OF the authorities and government
hospitals are anxious to evade dis
coVery. The property loss is but an
estimate and is based upon estimates
made to owners and contractors. Lit
tie Of the loss is covered by in
surance.
1T was 6:23 o'clock when the first
shock was felt. According to the
meteorological observatory the great
est intensity was reached at the end of
the minute, but the instruments con-
tlnued to record the shocks for four
teen minutes more. 1t was of va
cillatory, twisting character, but al
most free from terpidatory motion.
More than half Of the dead ac-
counted for were soldiers. They were
caught beneath the falling walls IF
the artillery barracks in San Cosme,
locality near the Mexican Central
station. Another place where the
earthquake took its toll of death in
considerable numbers was at the CITY
power plant Of the street car COM
pany. Here six were killed and six
wounded. Two others were found in
the debris consisting partly of steel
rails, which had been stacked in the
iron and wood departments and
which collapsed. The victims were
inhabitants of little shacks built along
tfS,, vsiae Of the structure =, ---v--
With these two exceptions the
death list was made up Of single cases
or in some instances of two or three
caught beneath a falling wall in the
poorer buildings Of the district most
seriously affected. Although the
shock was plainly felt in all parts of
the city few realized the magnitude
Of the catastrophe until late in the
forenoon, due TO the fact that the
casualties were confined to q COM
paratvely small area.

tlal nomination IN 1912, will receive

er President Roosevelt, which will he
uttered just as certainly as If was
In the last campaign. This is the best
political news Mr.. Taft has received
In many months, and it comes to him
IN manner that leaves no doubt as
to its authenticity.
The information that Mr.. Roosevelt
under no circumstances. will allow biS
name to be presented to a national
convention was received several DAYS
ago, but it did not become known un-
til tonight. That Col. Roosevelt feels
that the Taft administration should
be continued was brought out as a.
result Of the meeting between the two
at the Cardinal Gibbons jubilee at
Baltimore.
Whether the former President win
enter the campaign, as an active
worker, will be watched with inter-
est.
1t is not expected to prove pleas
ing to Republicans, who have made
NJ secret of their desire to bring Col.
Roosevelt forward as formidable
rival for the 1912 nomination. Many
Of these Republicans, no doubt. will
refuse to abandn hope until Col.
Roosevelt himself, in a quoted state
ment. announces his position and thus
breaks the silence concerning the ad-
minisration, which he has maintain
ed since landing in New York OH his
return from Africa.
The information that Mr.. Rose
velt would be found allied with the
President rather than against him
was brought directly to Mr.. Taft from
Mr.. Roosevelt by a mutual friend
high in official life, who was connect
ed with both the Roosevelt and Taft
administrations in a capacity that en-
abled him to gain and retain the con-
fidence, in fact, the warm personal
friendship of both men.

Nice, June Sit appears that more
and more probable tonight that Lieut..
Bague, the French aviator, has met
the fate of Cecil Grace, the English
man who was lost in the North sea
While attempting flight from Calais
to Dover last December. Lieut.. Bague.
VINO holds the oversee flight record,
left Nice in his aeroplane this morn
ing for a trip to Corsica. The dis
tance between the two points is a lit
tie more than 100 miles and when
nothing was heard from the daring
aviator, two torpedo boat destrovers
were sent to seek him. The destroyer
Arbalen returned here this evening
from Corsica and reported that il
could not find any trace of the avia-
tor Other naval vessels are continu-
inS the search but it is feared that it
will prove fruitless.
The aviator took carrier pigeons
with him and it is supposed that the
aeroplane capsized so suddenly that
he was unable to turn them loose.
The Arbalen left again for Corsica at
4 late hour to make a further hunt for
the missing aviator by means Of
search lights.

The whole Jewish population of Mon
mouthshire has been impoverished.
Throughout the district, when the
Jews had been robbed of everything
they had, the rioters turned to the
shops kept by native Welchmen. At
Ebbw Vale, the riot act was read
when a furniture store had been ran.
sacked, and the police and military
charged, the latter using their bayo.
nets. The mob replied with stones
The footing became so general that
the crowds could not carry away all
their plumber and the streets were
strewn with jewelry and other val
tables.
At Tredegar f. Louis Harris, dealer
in general merchandise a pioneer OF
the place, and probably its most pop
ular citizen, three days before the
riots started received a public testi-
monial from his fellow-citizens In
recognition of his services to the
town, and more Gentiles were present
at the presentation than Jews.
Yet the mob broke down his door
in the middle of the night, trooped UP
the stairs, dragged him and the mem
bers of his family from their beds,
struck and kicked them, and robbed
the place.
Harris is known beyond Monmouth
shire for his philanthropy among the
miners, and he has received dozens
of messages of sympathy from Eng
fish Gentiles high in business and
political CIRCLES. Among these is one
from Thomas Richards, member of
parliament for Monmouthshire.
