Manager Gus Hartz was standing
near the opera house box office when
one of two panhandlers who had en-
tered the lobby approached him, and.
holding out IN addressed and sealed
envelope, begged for the price of a

PLAN TO RESIGN.

ly to Back Proposition.

Ell Paso, Tex.-For the first time
since the revolution began the Mex.
lean government officially recog-
nized the existence of a revolution, in
the credentials furnished to its peace
commissioners. The commissions
state that the men are appointed to
treat with the revolutionists and to
settle the revolutionary disturbances.
The representatives Of the federal
government and the insurrectos had
their first meeting in a grove of cot
tonwood trees opposite Ell Paso in
Mexico and got together on the pre-
liminaries.
The n hitch probable is over the
retirement Of President Diaz. The In.
s~urrectos insist that some understand.
ing must be reached on this score.
The Mexican commissioner wishes to
leave it as it stands, declaring that
General Diaz has often expressed his
intention Of retiring as soon as peace
Is completely restored.
Dial Must Resign.
The peace commissioners of the rev.
o%lutionists formally presented to
Judge Carbajal, the federal enjoy, a
statement signed by Francisco l. Ma
dero Jr., appealing to President Dia.
to make public the assurances given
privately that he intended to resign.
After offering his own resignation
as provisional president of the repub-
lie, Madero suggested that both Presi-
dent Diaz and Vice-President Corral
resign, and that Senior de la Barra,
the minister of foreign relations, be.
come president ad interim until a gen
eral election shall have been held.
The statement, couched in most
courteous Spanish phrases, informs
President Diaz that there is no other
way out of the present difficulty and
that a word from him will bring peace
in a few days.

do not think we have reached the limit,
by a long way" he remarks, conf
IDENTIFY, and there are thousands who
are familiar with that country who
are ready to echo the assertion.
The fact is that large profits from
potato raising in Idaho are the rule,
not the exception. H. P. Frodsham, a
farmer in the American Falls district,
commonly takes 500 bushels from an
acre, his yield per acre thus being, at
AZ cents per bushel, s210.
Someone who knows the conditions
in and the possibilities of Idaho has
caid that ut is a maxim in southern
Idaho that the new settler, with. little
or no capital or implements, but with
a willingness to work, can plant pota-
toes on his irrigated farm the first
year and make a good living for his
family, besides laying aside money to
make all necessary payments on his
land"
William B. Kelley, who owns a
ranch neal Gooding, says: 1--WE get
SO many potatoes to the acre that We
don't stop to count the sacks"
Samuel Lewis, also living near Good
ing, reports as follows: Potatoes
grow large and thick. Six potatoes
from my field weighed 81 pounds. The
crop runs 500 to 600 bushels to the
acre, and a Always be depended
upon"
The price received by Mr.. Snyder
for his prize-winning potatoes does
not by any means represent the top"
of the Idaho market. Much higher
prices have been commanded at vari-
GUS times, yet at the Accent rate re-
celved by Mr.. Snyder his profits were
very large.
Scores Of instances may be cited to
show what the lands of Idaho hold in
store for those who will put forth the
effort that must precede success.
Those who have succeeded in this
one task of potato raising, trace their
accomplishments to industry. of
course, and to a study of conditions
and needs. But, they could not have
reaped such haryests If industry and
determination had not been fortified
by ideal conditions Of climate and soil.
Such conditions prevail in the agri-
cultural districts of Idaho. There the
ground is rich and eager. There the
climate is conducive to the outdoor
task. There the scheme of irrigation
has been so we'll prepared and is so
unfailing in its supply that growing
crops have water when they need it.
With water, sunshine and cultiva-
ton to bless the crops at proper in.
t~ervals, the growing of potatoes. or
any other agricultural Oh horticultural
industry in Idaho, is as sure of album
dant cash returns as any of mans
tasks can be.
