The Holland Primrose.

There is a beautiful flower in Hol.
land called the evening primrose. 1t
has escaped from cultivation, and now
grows wild in many places. The plant
Is about five, feet in height, and is
covered with flowers of a brilliant vel
low color A traveller who came upon
: field Of these primroses shortly be-
fore sunset describes what he calls the
dramatic effect made by them. It il
at that hour that the flowers open, and
rs he approached the field, they all
opened at once, and so suddenly that
It seemed as If a magic wand had
touched the land and covered it with a
golden sheet.

With it's iron mines, and sigh
To manipulate a corner

Cut out luxury-all that
Makes this resolution needful:

I've resolved to love our city,
Every alley, street and spot
With an extra friendly feeling
For a business corner lot.
Love of country in my bosom
Shall in 1913 thrive;
So I'll swear to hold and cherish
Every eagle on the five"

which were operating on the San Luis otosi-Veracruz border have been completed dispersed, accord ing to a report made by Benito Vargas, who is in command of the rural forces which have been pur- suing the insurrectos in that section. In addition, Vargas says in dispatch to the department of gobernacion that twelve individuals have surrendered including Con- rado Hernandez and Rubio Herre- ra who were leaders. The first has won the confidence of the rural commander and has been sent out to attempt to persuade scattered rebels to come in and surrender.
 Guadalajara Times: Cristobal Martinez Gorilla and Enrique Va He Cambre, two Coahuila engineers, and Ricardo Arteaga, Zacatecas lawyer, have applied to the legis lature of the state of Zacatecas for a concession for a railroad that is planned to extend from Torreon to Guadalalara. Later, applications for concessions will be made to the legislatures of the states of Coahui- la and Jalisco. It is stated that the promoters expect to secure Mexican and European capital for the enterprise, The line, as plan ned, will reduce the distance by rail between Torreon and Zacate- Cas, and will provide a line 100 kiometers shorter that the present rail route between Guadalajara and Zacatecas. The plans include branch line to the Melquital del Gro mining district of Zacatecas.
 Mexican Herald: Juan Renteria, constitutional governor of the state of SinalOa, who was forced out of the state by revolutionaries, claim. ing that the authorities did not afford him proper support, will not return to Sinaloa, according to a statement made by Jesus Flores Nagon, minister of gobernacion last night. Mr. Magon added that 1t was impossible at present to get anyone to accept the nomination for governor of Sinaloa, on account of the financial con dition of the state. The report which ap- peared in a local afternoon paper stating that Mir Renteria had a secret mission from the minister of tomento to SinalOa, he described as being undoubtedly untrue, as he had heard nothing of 1t, and any movement of governors of states was reported directly to his depart ment.

plaza was filled during the after. noon and evening with throngs of people, eating, drinking, listening to the music which was provided by half score of orchestras. The trip to Ixtapalapa will take about forty-fve minutes, but yesterday owing to the large number of extra cars which were in operation, it took a little longer.
 Mexican Herald: The depart ment of gobernacion has notified the various political parties who have attempted to register under article 27 of the election law of December 19, 1911, that in no single case has application for re- gistration been made in proper form. Several parties have put in application for colors saying that certain colOrs have been adopted by that party but sending in no samples although the law requires samples. The various political organizations have been informed that three samples of the colors they intend to adopt will have to he presented with the ap- plication for registration so as to avoid mistakes. Notice is also given that political parties can not register with state authorities but have to make their application direct to the department Of gober- nacion.
 Guadalajara Times: The com mission of geologists from Mexico City, headed by Dr. Paul Waltz, has not yet reached conclusion as to the cause of the recent earth quakes here. Investigations have been continued this week, and a large collection of volcanic rocks has been made. This morning the commission made trip to the ex- tinct volcano "El Colli," west of the city, and on his return Dr. Waltz stated there unquestionably was no connection between this old fire mountain and the recent seis- mic disturbances. Two seis- mographs arrived here this week from Mexico City, and are being placed to record any future seis' mic movements. Only few light shocks have been registered here this week. Terror-stricken in habitants are recovering their com posture, and people who left this city through fear of the earth quakes are returning.
