THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

The old hate of the Mexicans for
the Americans is said to be reviving
with especial bitterness in our Dor
der republic.
Under Diaz, this feeling had been
diminished until American investors
could operate in Mexico with only
a regiment or Two to guard them.
When the revolutionary spirit
broke out a year or two ago. the
mobilization of Unitde States troops
along the border acted as red rag
before an enraged bull, stirring to
fresh memory the conquests of this
country in the past.
Ever since the incident of the
Alamo there has been hot-blooded
war feeling between Texas and Mex
leans, between whose lands only the
Rio Grande flows.
Just now most American residents
ara crossing the border into the
United States for safety. Redress
does not alone lie in another chas-
tisement at our hands, which is
merely like spanking an incorrigible
child. who proceeds to do the same
thing over again as soon as 1t quits
smarting. Some means of guaran-
teed. permanent control is what Will
reform any of the Southern repub-
lies

LOCAL POWER PROJECTS.

That an adequate power supply
for all purposes is one of the things
The Western Slope is in need of.
those informed on the subject will
admit.
The central part OF the state has
been supplied by electricity gener-
atcd on the Grand river above Glen
wood Springs.
We have far better power sites
at different points along the Gun
nison. where that stream could be
harnessed to supply many thous-
ands OF horsepower at mere fTac-
ton OF the cost which the Central
Colorado Power company was COM
long tunnels had to be driven to di-
vert the water from the stream.
Along the Black canon of the
Gunnison there are natural sites
for dams, and rapids where tur-
bines could be installed to supply
any amount of power desired, at a
minimum of cost.
In the case of the Central Colo
RADIO Power company, the primary
object was to get into Denver for
lighting purposes, and string OF
towers was built for EOS miels over
almost unpopulated territory.
In our own case the users are at
the door OF the power sites, in
thickly populated valleys and me-
sas, where the farm and orchard
would become patrons. as well as
the towns. and where the country is
