DIAZ is GAINING.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Diaz il
rapidly winning control of the City Of
Mexico and the hour of Mader0's down
fall draws near.
This Is the gfst of uncens0red dis.
patches from Ambassador Wilson, who
reported today that there was yester.
day q continuous conflict which ex.
tended partly through the night.
The Diaz forces are advancing stead.
lily and 1t Is declared that Diaz will
soon control the entire residential part
Of the city.
The fighting is fierce and there has
been q great loss of life.
The federal losses are enormous,
according to the state departments
reports.
The American embassy has been re-
peatedly In the line Of fire and has
been struck by many spent bullets,
which, however, did little damage.
Ambassador Wilson says that many
dead and wounded are lying in front
Of the embassy. They are mostly Of
the Maderist party.
The ambassador reports that he has
been unable to ascertain the amount
of damage to the federal stronghold,
but 1t has been great during the en-
tire revolt.

FINANCING CHAMBER OF COMMERCE:
L0GGED=0FF LANDS ARE DISCUSSED

sive advertising of the periodical sales
of these lands. In this matter Mr..
Scherr offered the cooperation of his
company.
Professor C. H. Shattuck of the
forestry department of the state uni
versity, gave an exceptionally inter-
ing talk on the by-products that can
be produced from the stumps that re-
how they could be made to reduce the
expense of clearing probably one-half
or more He stated that these by
products include charcoal, tar, turpen-
tine, pitch, pine OIL alcohol, rosin,
acetic acid and creosote. The value of
these products in a single yellow pine
stump often run as high as $50. At
present we are importing these prod
ucts in large quantities from beyond
the Rockies and even from beyond the
Atlantic. Their production in the
United States, heretofore, has been
limited to the southern states. There
are but two of the southern states that
are able to increase their production
of these products. The demand for
them is constantly increasing and
prices have advanced in the last ten
years steadily. With an increasing
demand and a decreasing supply it is
only necessary to interest capital and
convert the stumps into a source of
profit instead of a discouraging ex-
pense.

Announced that MaderO Will Name
President Ad interim to Keep Fight
ing; Marines Sent.

President Taft is worried by the fact
that although he has only seventeen
days more to serve in the White
House, the situation in Mexico shows
little signs of becoming less trouble
some. The president has no desire
to leave over for Mr.. Wilson the set
tlement Of this country's relations
with Mexico, but he Is decidedly OPP
posed to taking any measures him
self unless extreme provocation and
wholesale murder of Americans drive
him to it.
The president told friends today
that he realized what difficult thing
it would before new administration
to gather up the reins of government
and understand the conditions in the
southern republic in few weeks, or
in a few months. He Is of the opin-
ion that for Mr.. Wilson and his cabi-
net cannot grasp the diplomatic details
of troops and battleship movements
and of internal niceties that he and
his cabinet have acquired in two years
of close study of condition that
never has ceased to confront them.
He has informed his advisers that he
will be president up until Mr.. Wilson
takes the oath of office, and If in
tervention is demanded by congress
on his last day in office, he would not
hesitate to concur.

I'VE are agin the Chamber of Com
merce's plan for making you clean the
snow often your sidewalks because:
Il. We amt never done it before
80. 1t will throw honest labor out
of employment, for then we can't use
our snowplow on the sidewalks be-
cause if you clean often your sidewalks
they can't run the snowplow and that
will put the driver of the snowplow
outen job.
80. Because most of the shoe stores
in this town is our advertisers and if
you clean often your sidewalk and
your neighbor does you won't have to
buy no rubbers, and consequently they
fcannot sell you the same
a. Because while the doctors don't
advertise they most all of them take
this paper.
IS. Because we want to leave some
thing for NJ e. Lewiss Columbia gap
to do.
(which is reasons enough for any
body, but we have more, which you
can have same if need be by persona.
application at this office.
Again, we are going to have paved
streets this spring, and if we have
paved streets what is the use of clean
ing your sidewalks.
And if we clean our sidewalks
taxes will be higher. We don't know
why, but every time we do anything
like that high taxes is a good argu-
ment agin it.
And after We get our sidewalks
cleaned SO the people can get up to the
court house during the winter time,
how do we know that some tarnal fool
won't want to build new court house?
IF a man can't wade through snow
if he wants to, and make his neighbors
wade through snow, what can he do?
We pause for reply.
"If you agree with as, and We don't
Sc how any fair-minded man who has
been wading through snow here every
since this town was started or ever
since he has been here anyways can
help agreeing with the lucid argument
we have set forth in this eddytorial,
we call upon you to protect your rights
see your councilman about it. Make
him understand that you don't want
your walks cleaned until the chinook
cleans them off. If you don't this
insidyus attack upon our liberties will
rob us of our rights"

JOAQUIN MILLER, POET
OF THE SIERRAS, DEAD

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 18.-"Joa-
quin" Miller, the poet of the Sierras,
died here late yesterday in his one
room cabin which he built with his
own hands in the Piedmont hills many
years ago. His daughter, Juanita Mill
er, and his wife were with him. The
end came late in the afternoon with
warm sunshine flooding the room
where lay the author of Songs of
the Sunland."
Death came slowly upon the ven
cradle bard. He became unconscious
Thursday after a lingering illness
which began when he was stricken
with paralysis two years ago. His
wife and daughter were summoned

of his life. He guarded the poem
with the utmost secrecy and not even
his wife and daughter knew its sub
ject.
Since his collapse Thursday he re-
gained consciousness several times
and realized this morning that he
could not survive the day.
81 am dying-pity mel" he whisp-
cred to his daughter.
In a semi-conscious condition he
said: please take me away" His
last words his wife were, Il love
you"

MAY FIGHT PLAN FOR
SNOW=CLEAN SIDEWALKS

That determined fight against the
request of the Chamber of Commerce
for an ordinance compelling property
owners and tenants to clean the walks
in front of their property of snow may
be made is indicated by the fol-
lowing communication handed the
Star-Mirror by friend who de-
sired this paper to use it as
an editorial. Naturally, this could
not be done, but the contribution is
published exactly as written with
apologies to Newton Newkirk:
I'VE had made it up to write our ed
dytorial today about how useless ii
was to clean the snow often your side
walks; which same cannot be wrote
because last night it showed and there
amt no use telling nobody how use
less it is to clean the snow often the
sidewalks, while the same is on the
sidewalks Which shows how hard it
is to be an edditor, because when you
have a good idea for to write an eddy
torial about then something comes
down like the wolf on his fold just
like the snow done last night, and
bang! you amt got no eddytorial at
all.
But while there amt the crying
need for an eddytorial on cleaning the
snow often your sidewalks that there
was yesterday, yet We have this here
space to fill so we are going to write
It,
Now the Chamber of Commerce has
asked the councilmen to pass law
that you have got to clean the snow Of
fen your sidewalks.
This is an outrage and an attack
on the palladium of our liberties, and
our rights we will maintain. What
right has the Chamber of Commerce to
be making our laws? Amt that what
we got our councilmen for? And be-
sides it's unconstitutional. We know
half dozen of our citizens whose con-
stitutions it would break plumb to
smithereens to have to clean the snow
often their sidewalks. Therefore we
are constitutionally opposed to any
such foolishness.
Now there amt no sense to our
the snow often our sidewalks.
When it's slippery we can walk in the
road, and when its slushy we can walk
in the snow, and then again when sum-
mer comes we will have our walks
cleaned anyway.

Over fifty men participated in the
regular Tuesday lunch at the Mos
COW Chamber of commerce today and
the afterdinner speeches following
were of unusual interest.
In the absence of President Green,
Vice-President ]. ]. Keane called the
meeting to order and asked for a re-
port from the committee appointed
at the last meeting to solicit subscrip-
tions for financing the organization
for the ensuing year. G. P. Mix, chair
man of the committee made a verbal
report of it's progress. He stated that
the committee had spent one after
noon at the work and had been court
eously and generously received by
every one on whom they had called.
Every person solicited had responded
success of the committee, SO far, as
sures them that there will be no troub-
lie in securing the required $4,000.
Mr.. Mix asked that in as much as
the members are all busy and unable,
at present to give the required time
to the work, that an additional COM
mittee of three be appointed to as
sist with the work.
Chas Thompson, L. F. Parsons and
J. ]. Keane were appointed as mem
bers of the proposed additional COM
mite.
Mr.. Keane reported on the Lewiston
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1913-02-18

fair meeting and asked for an express
sion of the chamber as to whether it
would be best to continue the fair
for the entire week or to limit it to
only a part of the week. The matter
was referred to the fair committee.
Mr.. Styles, a representative of the
Chautauqua Entertainment associa-
ton, addressed the chamber, review
ing the program adopted for the COM
ing Chautauqua, pointing out the ex-
cellence of the talent, calling atten-
tion to the many benefits that will re-
suit in a social and business way and
recommending that the Moscow boosters
give it their best efforts.
]. ]. Scherr of Spokane, travelling
passenger agent of the Great Northern
railroad, called attention to the
Glacier National Park and to the fact
that it is only an eighteen-hour ride
from Moscow. He also offered to see
that Moscow is properly represented
in the future bulletins issued by his
company and to cooperate with this
city IN every possible way The secre-
tary was instructed to prepare mat
ter on the resources of Moscow and
Latah county for future issues of the
N. P. bulletins.

For many years '"The Heights" has
been the mecca of lovers of joaquin

in a vein of quaint humor of the old
