TOMORROW

Washington, Sept. II. 1.--Interventior
in Mexico seemed a step farther Of
today Rebel raiding along the border
is expected to be ended by the Mex
lean federals, who are to be permit
ter to cross Texas and New Mexico
to attack the insurgents along the
frontiers OF Chihuahua and Sonora
While one force Of federals moves
down from the northern boundary, an
other force Is being worked up the
Southern Pacific line into Mexico. The
plan is to catch the rebels between
the two forces. Representatives Of
the revolution assert this move win
only transfer the seat Of war from
the border to the mountains.
Madero's movement of troops to the
north is in response to Nthe demand
of this government that Americans be
protected. The movement now under
way is expected to quiet the situation,
for the present, at least. United
States troops ordered to the border
will move forward just the same and
others at posts throughout the west
are ready. There is a possibility that
Mexican federals may not be entrain-
ed at EI Paso at all. Officials here
are reluctant to give to the rebels the
advantage OF knowing in advance
where the federals will enter the
United States, the time Of their en-
training or at which point they are
likely to re-cross into Mexico. 1t had
been planned to take them from 81
Paso to Douglas, but there is an inti-
nation this plan may be not be car
ried out.
The supply Of rifles and ammunition
the United States is attempting to
place in the hands OF American colon
lists in northern Mexico for their own
protection was reported today detain-
ed at Warren, north of Naco. Rebel
activity all along the boundary west
Of 81 Paso was reported today to the
war department.
Brigadier General Schuyler from
Fort Huachuca, Ariz., reported many
rebels Just across the border. His last
nights dispatch says a force Of 700
under Rojas and Tampa disabled a
train south of Naco and took posses
sion of San Pedro. covering the Del
Rio railway, which they disabled. They
threatened to dynamite bridges on
the line if any efforts were made to
repair the railroad.
Reports from the south Of Mexico
Indicate serious conditions there. Re
newed rebel activity is reported from
Guanajato. Michoacan and Jalisco,
where there are daily engagements
between the federal and the rebel
bands. The rebels are said to show
increasing boldness.

Resolutions.
We the republicans Of San Miguel
county, in delegate convention as
sembled, renew our allegiance to the
national republican party as express
ed in the platform Of the republican
national convention helds at Chicago
on June %. 1912
We commend with particular earn
estness to the votergsof New Mexico
the tariff policy o the republican
party. New Mexico Is a tariff state
and depends upon protective revenue
for the growth of it's wool, sheep
and mining industries. A protective
tariff on the products Of these in
dustries means prosperity to the own
ers Of them and good wages to all
those who are engaged as employees.
We call the attention of the voters
Of San Miguel county to the fact that
during the last democratic admins
tration their wool could not be sod
and that it was kept in store houses
without even the protection Of an in
/ surance policy. The democratic free
trade policy at that time having abb
soIutely destroyed the principal IN
dustry of New Mexico. the voters Of
the state should look with trepidation
upon the possible accession of the par
ty Of Cleveland to the presidency at
the coming election. Re Woodrow

The announcement Of the names Of

applause, the meeting paying a tribute
to the excellent selections made by
Judge Leahy.
In summing up the situation before
eliminating his address with his mo
fion, Hr. spiess announced there were
just three modes of procedure to be
adopted by the grant board in com
pleting the irrigation system He
named these Id follows:
/. Contract with some person or
corporation for the construction Of
the reservoirs.
2. The grant board is sure Of its
ability to irrigate 10000 acres Of land
when the reservoir is completed. Di'
vide this land into 40 acre tracts, 25o
in number. Find $50 people who are
willing to pay $40 per acre for building
the reservoir making an outlay for
irrigation Of $4,000 for each tract
Deed to each person 50 doing 40 acres
Of land in lieu of his outlay.
3. Let the grant board complete
the work with It's own funds. The
board has about 100000; can it raise
the other $4,000 necessary?
Mr. spiess said all three of these
plans are worthy Of consideration. He
declared. however. that the board could
rot put its own funds into the pro
iect in his opinion, unless it received
permission from the state legislature

Signal Examinations

An important feature of the extensive
educational work which the Pennsylvania
Railroad is carrying on among its employees
is the operation of what is called the
Signal Examination Car. This is con.
tinually moving from place to place in
charge of an examiner who puts the men
through tests designed to keep them at a
high standard of competency.
The car is equipped with miniasure
sigma ior the purpose of examining
employees in their operation. Sight,
sense Of color, and hearing are also tested
on entrance to the service and periodically
thereafter.
Approaching the value of direct per.
sonal instruction, the Pennsylvania Rail-
road is endeavoring in every possible way
to increase the efficiency of operation by
seeing to it that employees in the rank
and fle are advised continually about all
Improvements and innovations which go
to make travelling safer for the public and
railroading less hazardous for all employees
The Company now has on the road
Instruction cars for giving air brake
Instruction, lessons in signaling and
lessons in electric carlighting.

Work Il Hours a Day

A report which the Commissioner of
Labor has just made shows that 20 per.
cent. of the employees of the steel COM
panies work twelve hours day and seven
days week, and when the shift changes
they work the whole of one period OF
tWenty-four hours. This was known in
regard to one steel concern a couple of
years ago, and the reply of the chief
owner was that his employees were as well
off as those of other steel concerns. The
report of Mr.. Neill shows that this is the
case twelve hours work for seven days in
the week among certain classes of the
Workmen is the regular thing. Such work
ing hours are utterly indefensible. The
steel corporations are protesting against
any reduction OF duties, which their abili-
ty to export proves to be superfuous.
One of the concerns makes great display
of its solicitude for its men, but the twelve
hours shift with seven days work in q
week calls for remedy.

Good Outlook For 1912

Bankers and manufacturers and rail-
road officials who have been asked to
prognosticate the business Of the coming
year are almsst uniformly encouraged.
Perhaps the railroad men are at least so,
but the railroad business has already given
more signs of improvement than most
other lines, and the very considerable in
crease of railroad buying is a better indi'
cation of what the managers think of the
business prospects than any interview
given to a newspaper man could be. Many
men of light and leading in the business
world are looking forward to particular

new YORK FASHIONS

New YORK, February 3d.-Suits will
always be worn but the one piece dress
has gained decided lead in the procession
of the modes. There are many points in
it's favor for it is convenient to get into,
and complete in itself so that there are no
details in the way of belt adjustment,
collar fxings, tie etc, while being made
in one, it las a way OF staying straight
and trim under any amount of strain.
For The Slender
For the slender there is no doubt that
the one piece costume should find favor,
but unless this is trinity yet loosely fitted
it is more than little trying to full fig
ure. Still the one piece effect is so mod
ish that extra blouses for coat and skirt
suits are most fashionable when they
carry out the lines of the skirt and even
have some of its material used for bib,
cuffs or bretelles. The kimoDa cut is still
correct, but the sleeves are scanned on
without fullness, as if the kimona sleeve
were cut across and stitched together
again tailor fashion. This helps when
goods is limited or W idth is narrow.
Yelled effects show no signs of dimin-
lshed popularity, and yelling with Brus-
sells net is newer than with chiffon. 1t also
wears much better.
