b. +. Pulls and wife visited
Aunt Margaret Pulls at Mexico
last week. Aunt Margaret has
been real poorly but she is some
better at this writing, Mr., Pulls
while in Mexico did what he
could towards the trunk tele-
phone line from Centralia to
Mexico. He talked it and found
many interested and anxious for
this line and several parties are
going mutual if this goes, Mexico
promised to have a meeting soon
to see what they could do towards
getting this line. Mr.. Pulls also
visited the county Jail while there
and the question in his mind was
wonder if the saloons in Mexico
are not much the cause ef these IL
inmates heiRg there. Mexico
wants a new Jail but if they would
wipe out the saloons there the jai
would not be so badly needed
and this change is much desired
by a large majority of Audrair
county voters.

COLORADO MAY TAKE
OVER ITS COAL LANDS


DENVER, Colo, Nov. ia con.
ference Of representatives of organ.
lied labor was recently held for the
purpose of initiating a @bill to be su b.
mitted to a referendum vote, provid-
ing that the state take over its coal
lands and operate it's own mines Tor
the benefit of all the people.
There are over 10000 acres Of coal
lands in Colorado belonging to the
state, the profits of which go to The
public school fund. 1t is believed that
if the people are given an opportuu-
ity to vote upon a measure of this
character, it will he adopted BY an
overwhelming majority.
Much interest, is being taken IN tie
movement which bids fair to deal the
unfair operators hard blow. This
is one result of the present strike in
the coal fields. brought on by the ar
bitrary attitude of the coal operat ors.
