A startling result Of the recent sur

cred the boundary, Americans will be
in a position to claim thousands Of

Of the Rio Grande In fact there would
appear to be almost no limit to the
contentious which might be set up by

That this entire situation is a two

very clearly that the river has Tor

proved by many witnesses The col1ec-

it is interesting to note that the Amer

MONTEREY SHELTER
WILL NOT CLOSE

Monterey, Mex, March 2S.-A well
known employee of the smelter No. 2
in this city stated last night that the
plant would not shut down Owing to
the fact that over 100 men have been
recently let out of the Monterey Iron
and Steel works, it was thought that
possibly the smelters would also be
getting rid of men. to reduce expenses
until better times justified their using
more hands.
One of the office force Of smelter
No. of the Guggenheim interests
stated also that there was no talk Of
shutting down that plant. 1t is said
that the revolution does not interfere
with the working Of these enormous
plants in this section and only the cut
ting of the railroads at nearby points
would cause any disturbance in their
regular routine Of working and ship
ping.

Seventy-four Years Young

Teaching an old dog new tricks may
be something difficult, but not so with
the human being. They take to the
new things like ducks 10 water. The
birth day surprise party for Mr. Fran
els last week was SO happy in results
that Mrs. C. L. Barker conceived the
idea Of duplicating the performance
just 4 week later on her unsuspecting
husband, Mr.. Barker being on Septem-
bef 4th u years Of age, JUS, a week
younger than Mr.. Francis.
The event was planned as surprise
on Mr. Barker and the plans were well
executed b. Mrs. Barker with the able
assistance of Miss NADIA. Mr.. Barker
suspected no designs upon him and had
even failed TO notice the absence from
the poultry yard Of couple OF cocker

meal he announced intention to explore
Colorado's ample coal fields in search
of fuel, thus furnishing opportunity to
the plotters which they were quick to
seize and when the unsuspecting vic
tim returned to the bosom uf his fami.
ly, he found said family multiplied to
degree that mnst have mystiiied if it
did not alarm him.
The same giddy boys and girls who
were present at the Francis party the
week before. put in the afternoon in
swapping yarns and patiently waiting
for the hour to arrive when the sumpt,
uous supper would be served. The meal
lef; nothing to be desire and was serv-
ed at reasonably early hour so that
the youthful guests could start for
home before the evening shadows had
heightened into darkness.
