INTERESTED IN THE GROWTHOF
 THE WEST
FIELDS WANTS STATES
 TO JOIN HANDS TO IN . DUCE IMMIGRATION AND
 NOT TRY TO COMPETE

DENVER, Colo. Sept 1.-The settlement of the west by attracting settlers from the east is receiving attention from the men who are officers of the large corporations the
 growth of whose business depends
 on the presence of population. One
 of the foremost of these western
 men who advocate strongly the unit
 ed efforts of western people for the
 acquisition of settlers for their
 vacant lands is E. B. Field
 IT., Vice President and Treasurer of
 The Mountain States Telephone and
 Telegraph Company. Mir. Field has
 urged for several years that the
 work of securing settlers for the
 new lands of the west be carried
 on by a united effort of the states
 in which there is the greatest need
 for development. The company of
 which he is the head has 600 ex-
 changes and 6.OOO employees scat
 tered over seven states and Mir.
 Field has made a careful study of
 the conditions which exist in each
 of the localities from which his
 company secures business.
 "There has been a great deal
 of wasted effort in attracting immi-
 grafton to the west" said Mr. Field.
 There has been a needless duplica-
 ton of effort on the part of the
 states interested For example the seven states in which this company operates, namely Montana, Wyom- ing. Utah, Idaho. Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. have been for the past ten or a dozen years try ing to attract settlers, each state duplicating the work of the other and at times competing. My plan i has been to induce the states to cease competitive advertising and | work and act together. | The appeal to the men in the crowd ed sections of the east should be to Come West'-not to any par ticular section of the west. If the states of the west would unite in their immigration work the efficiency would be increased a hundred fold. I find that in the operation of the company we succeed best when we disregard actual state lines. We operate the system in seven states the same as if it were one big state comprising the entire west and in this way we prevent needless duplication. There are oth- er problems besides that of immi- grafton and development with which he various mountain states have o deal There is the matter of lealing with the good roads and reclamation problems. Also the na- ional forests and their relation to he various states have an impor- ant place in the affairs of the west. By cooperation among the states md a united effort to settle their problems immense benefit would re- ult."
 The plan advocated by Mir. Field ; las attracted the attention of the representatives in congrkss from he western states and he has been sked to go to Washington to lay is plans before the delegations in congress from the states of the vest. One of the most important a matters now occupying the atten- ion of congress is the apportion- nent of the reclamation funds for he west. Upon this subject MT 'ield has some excellent ideas ow- ng to his long and intimate knowl- dge of the states in which his operates.

Question Of Who is Register
Of Deeds Big Issue in
Billings County
Especial to The Tribune.)

MEDORA, N. D., Feb. 10.--The dis
turbance passed quietly; no buildings
were damaged. A mandamu5 was
served on Register of Deeds Burgess
to turn over the office to c. e. Nc
Cluskey, or show cause, on 'ha 25th
instant, why he should not obey the
orders Of the court. The commission.
ers met in spe cial session Monday and
appointed Burgess register Of deeds,
believing there might be vacancy in
the office, owning, as it is claimed,
en- Valley county. Should the court
decide that the office must ~ turned
over to McCluskey, quo warranto pro-
ccedings will be brought by the artor-
neys for Burgess to settle the question
of whether McCluskey is a resident OF
Billings county or Golden Valley coun-
ty. McCluskey was elected to the Of
flee before the division of Billings
county when his residence was in
what is now Golden Valley county.
He continued to reside in that part
until after Golden Valley county was
fully organized; and then, late in
December, moved into what is now
Billings county. Some attorneys
claim that once Golden Valley was
organized, he became resident of
that county, and cannot claim a resi-
dence in both counties; that had he
moved into what is now Billings coun-
ty before the division he could have
qualified for the office to which he
was elected. McCluskey's attorneys
claim that he would not lose Ills resi-
dence in old Filings for six months
after the division. This contention, to
the layman appears logical. They look
at the matter this way, that when
Golden Valley was organized all those
who were electors there at once be-.
came electors in the new county, and
that they could not be electors in both
counties. This is something that the
courts have not passed upon.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-The Unit
cd States has decided to- send a bat
tleshp to Vera Cruz, another to Tam.
picO and vessels to MaZatlan and Ac
apulico. The sole purpose of this
movement is to observe and report
the situation and represents no change
in the policy of the government, ac-
cording to a statement of the state
department.
The revolutionary uprising in the
city of Mexico completely absorbed
the attention CT President Taft and
the war and navy departments today;
and at the end OF a Series of con-
ferences it was determined that all
this government could do would be
to send Il sufficient naval force to
Mexican waters to afford refuge for
foreigners and report upon conditions
developing.
In accordance with the decision,
Secretary Meyer ordered the armored
cruiser Colorado, now at SAP Diego,
to the Mexican port of Mazatlan. 9th
er warships we're ordered to Acapnl-
co, and two to the gulf coast of Mex
leo. a. ~ .rr
The state department has made
plain there will be no landing parties
beyond those necessary to put down
anarchy in the ports where ships may
lie nor at present is there any in
tention Of organizing a naval expedi-
ton to penetrate the country as far
as the capital. 1t is pointed out the
purpose is to protect Americans prob
ably will be defeated by such a move
.nent, as the appearance OF hostile
Americans on MeXican soil might
cause a massacre of many Americans
at isolated points in the interior OF

The opinion prevails in official cir

followed by the restoration OF a per-
