"The present troubles in Mexico had their origin in the medievalism which was maintained under Poririo Diaz. If Francisco Madero is successful in putting down all opposition his duty will be to con- vince the people of the sincerity of the promises, by promptly in. itiating much needed political and agricultural reforms. It is the duty of the American people as a nation to aid both parties to the unhappy struggle along the line of the Red Cross.
 "If one-half of the reports are true there is a great need for the Red Cross in Mexico, for there is untold suffering and loss of life from lack of medical aid and proper commissary."
 MT. Barnes takes gr eat interest in the welfare of the towns and cities in his territory, for their advancement and prosperity mean great deal toward the prosperity of the interests served by him, and he has regarded Nogales always as one of the most substantial and promising in the Southwest. The gentleman commended the activity of the Nogales < Santa Cruz County Board of Trade in it's campaign of giving publicity to the manifold and diverse natural resources of Santa Cruz County and the region in Sonora tributary to Nogales, and he expressed hope that the busi- ness men of the line city would support earnestly and effectively the campaign of advertising in- augurated by the Board"

A Welcome Visitor,

Thursday Nogales was visited by Mir. W. E. Barnes, travelling freight and passenger agent for the South ern Pacific Company, who was en route to Cananea, in which capa- city the gentleman has represented that interest several years, and is welcome visitor wherever he ap- pears. Heis one of the most eff. fcient men in his line in the Southwest. and the Southern Pa. cific is fortunate in having the service of a gentleman so accom- plished and efficient.
 MT. Barnes is a traveller of world wide experience. Prior to his coming to Arizona, he was for sev- eral years general agent for the Hartman lines in the City of Mex ico. While in that country he delved deep into the early history of Mexico, making interesting con- tributions to the general knowl- edge of that subject.
 When asked for an expression of opinion concerning the present troubles in Mexico, he said: 1 cannot discuss this subject as free ly as a wish could; it would pro- bably be misinterpreted and mis- understood. It is true that the Southern Pacific has suffered seri- ous interruptions and loss; howev- CT, we hope for in improvement in conditions. 1 am free to state that there is a regrettable lack of knowledge in the states regarding the actual conditions in Mexico. There is altogether to much whole sale denunciation and condem- nation of and too little sympathy for the unhappy Mexicans, who wisely or unwisely are professedly fighting for those ideals which are the common heritage of the Anglo Saxon race. Bishop Ayes, Episcopal bishop of Mexico, in an article published in a recent issue of the Churchman, throws flood of light on the situation. It is worth read ing.

MASON A. 7. NEUMAN
LANDS LARGE CONTRACT

When Julius Neils, president of
the Libby Lumber company, was
in Libby last week, he made ar
rangements for lot of improve
ments around the mill and other
property of the company. Two
more houses will be erected at the
east end of the row of company
houses already built, and concrete
foundations will be put under all
of the houses. The planning mill has
been getting its power from the big
mill by shaft under ground and
this has not been furnishing power
enough for some time. The COM
pany has an So-horse-power boiler
and this will be built in at the plan
ing mill. A. Il. Nauman landed
the contract f9r the mason part of
the work and it will probably keep
him and his efficient staff occupied
most of the winter.

appear before the county clerk to
make registration. Voters living
III any other part of the county can
register at the county seat if they

CONTEST PRIZES AWARDED

The boys and girls industrial
contest conducted by Supt. Head
aroused considerable competition
amongst the Youngsters to see who
was to get the trip to the state fair.
Guy Head won first prize in the
boys class and Master Gibson won
the second prize, receiving SIS. in
cash. Miss Irene Davidson won
first in the girls class with Miss
Annie Gibson second. State in
structor F. S. Cooley ordered both
girls to report at the state fair.
Most of the exhibits were good.
Guy Heads exhibit of potatoes
was dandy and will very likely
take first place at Helena. The
jelly exhibit made by the girls was
pretty and looked good enough to
eat.

' Libby last Monday evening was a
hummer. 1t was one of the mos,
successful and enthusiastic politica
meetings that has ever been helc
in Libby. The people turned out
in vast numbers in spite of the
rainy and forbidding weather.
The music was good; the speeches
were inspiring. TO those thought
full voters who attended that splen.
did meeting must have come the
conviction that the vast affairs OF
this commonwealth could be en-
trusted to no cleaner or safer hands
than Sam Stewards He made a
profound impression upon the peo-
pie of Libby. They recognized in
him man of magnificent mental
equipment and telling force. He
has every needed qualification,
mental, physical and moral, to fit
him to become governor C Mon
tana. His ideas suit the people;
he is real democrat in thought,
word and deed. Sam Stewart GER
tainly made great hit in Libby
and he is sure of whaling big
vote here in November.
Senator Tom Stout, candidate
for congress, made one of the wit
tiest and best political speeches
ever heard in Libby. There was
nothing bombastic or abusive about
his talk. He spoke plainly, simply,
manfully. His thrusts at the Bull
Loose party and the Big Bull
Mouse himself, made tremendous
hit and convulsed his hearers with
laughter. When the meeting adj
journed the people left the hall
saying, "Stout will do--hell do
fast rate
Attorney B. +. Maiden was
ch al irman and introduced the
speakers. Before the meeting the
Libby brass band paraded the
streets and played some good music.
Templin's orchestra enlivened the
evenings entertainment, inter-
spersing the speaking with music.
The hall was we'll filled when the
speaking began--many ladies being
present.
Honorable Dan M. Kelly, can
didate for attorney general. and
Hon. w. G. Rea of Carbon county,
candidate tor state treasurer, were
introduced and spoke briefly, both
making very good impression.
In opening his address Mr.. Stew
art pleasantly referred to the many
evidences Of prosperity which he
observed il and around Libby.
He paid glowing tribute to the
natural beauty and immense fer
tilitY of the kOOtenal valley. Re-
ferring to national politics Mr..
Stewart said:
"There is striking dissimilar-
ity between the two great parties
The democratic party is entering
the campaign, fresh, vigorous and
confident, whereas the republicans
are weary with much fighting.
Never in our political history has
more rabid and virulent campaign
been waged within party than
that conducted this year by the re-
publicans. One would think that
the democrats have no need of
a campaign IN their own
behalf. Every citadel of cherished

be constructed in and around Lib
by, was widely read and extern
sively copied bv other newspapers
IN Montana. 1t greatly pleased
hundreds CT people in the Kootenai
valley, who know what such en-
terprises mean for this region. The
Herald aimed to tell only the facts;
the truth is good enough about it
all. The great power plant IS to be
built at Kootenai Falls; the new
paper and pulp mill is to be built
at the mouth of the Yakt; a big
pulp mill will be constructed at or
near Libby These are assured
facts.
Last Thursday and Friday some
OF the big eastern capitalists con.
nected with the pulp mill enter
prise spent some time in Libby con-
sulting with Forest Supervisor Dorr
Skeels. John H. Ehlers, promoter
of the enterprise, was here with
them. VIM. P. Boshart of Ottawa,
Canada, was one of the party. To
a Herald representative he said:
1.-The deal is closed. We are going
ahead with the work of putting in
big pulp mill to handle the tim
Der on the Yakt. Already many
thousands of dollars have been paid
on the enterprise. You can say
the pulp mill is a co. Mr.. Bos-
hart is one of the biggest men in
the industrial life of Canada.
Following this statement comes
news of the organization of the
company. The Spokesman Review
yesterday published the following:
incorporated under the laws of
Montana, the Montana Pulp and
Paper Manufacturing company, rep
resenting 81, 500, 900 in stock and
bond issues, expects within two
years to have in operation in the
Kootenai national forest reserve
plant costing about 81 500, 900, and
cut about 90, 900, 900 feet of timber
year.
"The officers of the company are:
Edward Donlan, Missoula, pres
ident; Robert Mcintyre, La Chute,
Quebec, vice PRESIDENT; William P.
Boshart, Ottawa, Canada, treas
urer; J. H. Ehlers, Spokane, Sec
retary; IL. A. Ehlers, Spokane,
assistant secretary. Of the finances
of the company there is a 81, $780,
900 bond issue underwritten, ST.
ooo,o of stock subscribed for and
$500 900 stock in the treasury to
60 on as bonus with the bonds.
BY an arrangement with the
United States government the com
pany expects to have practically
perpetual source of supply at its
mill site, half way between Libby,
Mont, and Bonners Ferry, Oh the
Great Northern road. The site of
the plant will be in the Yahk river
valley, where the federal govern
ment is understood to have assured
the company 500, 900 acres of tim
Der available tributary to the mills.
The company also depends upon
getting about $4,000, 600 feet
of timber from the Canadian side
of the Yahk. 1t being contended
that this timber can not be brought
out of the valley save through the
American gateway.
"R. S. Talbot of Appleton, Wis.
consulting engineer of the CON-
pany, has made preliminary re-
port to the company including an
estimate of $r,379,13o for building
and plant, but this may be subject
to revision when final surverys are
made. The company has avail
able, according to the government
estimate, 1900, coo, 900 feet of tim

SAM Y. STEWART AND TOM STOUT
MAKE HIT WITH LIBBY PEOPLE

when it was more nearly united,
more capable and better qualified
to perform important governmental
functions.
GAS an earnest of sincerity in
the premises, the democrats in ma
tional convention assembled purged
the party of all special interests
and Objectionable characters. They
have nominated for the high Offices
of president and vice president two
men who from every point of view
measure up with credit to them
selves in any company. Woodrow
Wilson is an intellectual giant, and
his attainments in many lines of
thought and work perculiarly fit
him for the difficult task confront
ing the next president. That he
will be elected is foregone coll
clusion, and that he will drive
special privilege from the high
places in the nation just as he has
in his own state and in truth and
fact make this a government Of,
for and by the people, is equally
certain"
STATE ISSUES
He then turned to state issues,
announcing that in his view, the
people of Montana were more in
timately concerned n knowing
what kind of administration would
follow democratic success in the
state than they we're in hearing him
discuss national politics. He con-
graduated the state and the people
upon their fortunate selection of
the last chief executive, and paid a
very high tribute to Governor Nor
ris as man and as an executive.
He enumerated the reforms ac-
complished under the present ad-
ministration and pledged himself
to continue the unfinished work
begun by the governor.
Among other things he said:
"Governor Norris has been boos-
ter, but conservative booster. He
has proclaimed the merits of Mon
tana to the world at large, and
thereby given us an admirable
standing abroad, but he has done
it all within the limits of truth and
reason. He has been able to back
up every claim he has made. At
home he has been business execu-
tive He has given the smallest
enterprises in the state the same
encouragement extended to the
largest; while he has welcomed big
business, he has never allowed it to
crowd out other business
The speaker then referred to the
present law governing state lands
as one of the achievements of the
administration. He gave the gov
ernor credit for the splendid plat
form CT the democratic party, and
pledged his best efforts to bring a.
bout the reforms therein demanded.
In referring to the primary law
now pending before the people, and
which will be voted upon at the
general election this fall, Hir. Stew
art scored the republican senate,
and declared that but for the re-
publican bosses of this state, the
people would now have an adequ-
ate primary law. He prophesied
the enactment of the pending law
by the people, and said 1T is al
ready bruited about that if the law
is enacted by the people at the
coming election, and the next
legislature is republican, amend
ments will be made so as to emas-
culate it and ruin its usefulness
even before the people have an op-
portunity to try it out. If elect
ed governor of this state, l pledge
that no amendment or repeal of
that law or any other one enacted
