Portland, Me-, Sept. 10.-Maine
turned back to the republican party
in the state election on Monday,
William T. Haines of Waterville be-
ing elected governor over Gov. Fred
erick w. Plaisted, his democratic OPP
ponent, who sought a second term,
while the republicans gained one of
the two congressional districts lost
two years ago.
The new legislature is expected to
have a small republican majority, al
though returns before midnight were
not sufficient to show whether form
er Congressman Edward G.. Burleigh
or Obadiah Gardner, democratic, will
be chosen to the United States sem
ate for the term beginning next
March.
Returns for $50 out of 634 cleo
ton districts give: Haines, republi-
can, 66,121; Plaisted, democrat,
62,127. The corresponding vote in
1910 was: Fernald, republican, Co.,

The democrats went into the state
struggle on the defensive, having
won control of the state government
an the election of 1910. They based
their campaign almost wholly on ma
tional issues, although defending
their course in the state administra-
ton.
The republicans used state issues
entirely as, the weapons of attack and
refused to be drawn into any discus
sion of national affairs The pro-
gressive element of the republicans
was in full control of party machin-
cry, but with the approval of Col.
Roosevelt split was postponed un-
til after Mondays struggle.

Lice and mites cause more losses

The best means Of getting rid Of
mites in the houses is to spray thor
Oughly with kerosene emulsion. This
should be done twice with an interval
OF from Ave to seven days between
the sprayings.
The emulsion is made as follows:
Cut up one pound Of soap and dissolve
It In hot water; while the water d

and continue stirring for fifteen to

u S. READY TO ACT
AMBASSADOR cALERo CARRIED
ULTIMATUM FROM PREsI-
DENT TAFT TO MADERO.
MUST PROTECT AMERICANS
More Troops Are Ordered South In
Fear Rebels May Carry Out
Threats to Attack Arizona City or
Douglas.

Washington, Sept 1870 keen Ii
the interest felt in every development
there and so tense the situation on
the Mexican border that officials OF
the war and state departments were
held on duty Sunday to receive re-
ports and to prepare for immediate
action should such become necessary.
Ambassador Calero as soon as he
reaches Mexico City will present to
his government the demand of the
United States that effective action
shall be taken by the Mexican gov
eminent to safeguard the lives of
Americans in northern Mexico and to
prevent destruction Of American
property on both sides of the boun-
Diary. President Madero is expected
by the state department to make a
prompt reply to this demand.
General Steever, In command Of the
American forces along the boruer,
made no report Of additional disturb
ances by Mexican rebels. For this
reason officials of the war department
are inclined to consider as exaggerat-
ed dispatches stating that rebels have
threatened to attack Arizona City and
Douglas, and that women and children
are being rushed to points of safety
while the male citizens are arming
themselves to repel invasion and to
prevent massacre.
1t is stated at the war department
that General Steever has a sufficient
number of men at these places to
drive back into Mexico any of the
rebel bands now operating within
striking distance of either Arizona
City or Douglas and no information OF
the concentration of these bands has
been received. Less concern as to the
safety of Americans along the border
will be felt by the war department,
however, with the arrival Of the two
additional troops of cavalry ordered
from Forts D. A. Russell and Riley to
reinforce the border patrol.
Beverly, Mass, Sept. 10. Although
President Taft will not intervene in
Mexico without the fullest delibera-
ton upon a step that would mean
war, his friends declared Sunday AkAr
Intervention is nearer than it has
been since the first American troops
were rushed to the border Is months
ago.
1t can be stated on the highest au-
thority, however, that should the pres
ident decide that Intervention is the
only course open to him, he will call
congress in special session add de-
mand Of it the authority to send the
American army across the border.
Eagle Pass. Tex, Sept. 1O.-The
specter Of intervention is causing an
other exodus OF Americans from Mex
leo. All trains arriving at Texas bor-
der points Sunday were crowded with
refugees, many of whom fed from
small and unprotected towns where
the situation Is deemed critical. Ad-
vices from the larger cities Of the in
terror are to the effect that many
Americans are preparing to leave for
the United States and that the safety
Of American women and children par
ticularly is being looked after.

COUNCIL CUTS
DOWN EXPENSES
Big Reduction Is Made on
Tax Levy for City Dur
ing Coming Year

Voting in favor of popular senti-
ment to reduce the city tax levy from
29 to 16 mills and pay off the war
ranted indebtedness of the city by is
suing bonds, the city council in spe-
cial session Monday night practically
fixed the city expenses for the yeai
of 1913 at $1O5,OOO The action of
the council in this matter seemed to
meet with general approval and will
undoubtedly meet with the co-opera-
ton of every Aberdeen citizen.
The retrenchment policy adopted BY
the city fathers means that general
saving must be made in every depart
ment. Many department heads who
have looked forward to increasing the
the efficiency of their work by pur-
chasing extras will have to be con.
tent during the coming years with a
minimum expense account.
Four tenths of mill is provided
for the library fund. This will give
about $1,000 for the years expenses
Of that institution. Twenty-seven
hundredths mills is provided for park
purposes, and the balance necessary
in making up two mills will be used
in paying of the back indebtedness
Fourteen mills of the Is mills will
be used for general running expenses
The present warrant Indebtedness
Of the city Is about $4,000.

COUNTY FAIR
IS NOW OPEN
Gates Swing Open to Wei
come Big Crowds for the
Opening Yesterday
LARGER THAN LAST YEAR
Exhibits Win Praise and All
Attractions Make a Splen-
did Display

The big gates at Electric park were
swung open promptly at l o'clock
yesterday afternoon, marking the for
NAL opening of the second annual cele-
bration of the Chehalis County Fair
association.
During the afternoon street cars
from both Aberdeen and Hoquiam
were well filled and last night the at
tendance convinced the most skepti-
cal that the fair will be brilliant
success.
The exhibits, all told, are wonderful
and evidence the careful and untiring
work of the various department heads.
The entire fair this year shows a
decided gain over the exhibition CIV
Ell last year, which was the associa-
tion's first adventure. The wonder
full gain is due principally to Secretary
J. E. Calder. Where last year only
one building housed the horticultural
exhibits, this year there are two. The
new poultry building is we'll filed,
the last member of the feathered tribe
arriving the night before. The stock
pens are also well filed. In all, the
entire fair, including the midway.
gives every appearance Of the old
time, happy county fair.
It was estimated this morning that
there are at least 5000 exhibits, this
despite the fact that the county is
by no means considered an agricul-
tural section.
The Aberdeen band will be in at
tendance every day Of the week. To-
day is Aberdeen day and Fri
day will be East End day. Satur.
day will be Hoquiam and West End
day and Sunday will be free for all.
The wedding, as to which there is
much speculation, will take place on
Sunday. It has been learned that the
couple to be married are we'll known
Americans living in HoQuiam. The
women of the Aberdeen Civic I'm.
provement association will provide the
flowers on this momentous occasion.
There will be parade of stock
each day and free attractions, like
for instance, the high diving dog that
will dive 40 feet into net, and Pro-
fessor Little's troupe of trained hors-
es for special riding and races On
Friday-Montesano and East End day
"a special train will be run over the
Northern Pacific road from Oakville
and Aberdeen. The fare will be one
and third for the round trip The
train will leave Oakville at $3.50 a..
m. and returning leave the fair
grounds at $3.50 p. nj.
There are so many features that
they are too numerous to mention,
but when all are in place the differ
ent departments are to be noticed
in detail. From every town in the
county have come fine exhibits of
vegetables, grain, flowers and handi-
work. Secretary Calder and his as
sistants have been overworker get
ting the fair ready for the opening
yesterday.
Th baby show in connection with
the fair will be held Friday after
noon at 2 o'clock. A large number
of entries have been made and the
show will undoubtedl be huge sue
cess.
