investigation and are convinced that
some kind of. poison found its way in
to the water. At first it was thought
that the Byers mill had been cayanid-
ing its plant and that some of the
poison had escaped into the water
but employees of that mill declare such
not to be the case. The fact that the
fish between the mill and the PEN
stock were not affected would seem
to bear out this denial Had any OF
the fish been killed above the PEN
stock, they would have lodged against
the iron gates but the CRATES were

formally charged with the murder of
Joheph Logue, jeweler. The assist

and later asserted that while only one
was involved in the actual killing,
Schneider and Faith shared the stol-

May McMullin, his alleged paramour,
caused the arrests.

TROOPS AT LEAVENWORTH
ARE READY TO TAKE FIELD
Unusual Activities Lead to Belief That Pre-
parations Are Being Made For Quick Move
to Border--President is Optimistic and
Hopes For Peaceful Settlement.


MEXICO CITY. Aug. 11.-Ex-Gov-
ernor Lind. who is in Mexico in the
interests of a peaceful settlement of
the trouble in that country, arrived
here today and Immediately conferred
with Mr.. O'Shaughnessey. The cityyis
quiet and no hostile demonstrationtis
looked for.
FORT LEAVENWORTH Aug. IL.
The unusual activities among the
troops here lead to the belief that
preparations are being made for
quick move TO the Mexican border III
1t becomes necessary.
The second squadron and fifteenth
cavalry stands ready to take the field
at a moments notice. Equipment is
packed and fifty thousand rounds OF
ammunition have been issued. Off
GERS say they are prepared for any
emergency but won't admit they have
received orders from Washington.
WASHINGTON, Aug 11.-Presi-
dent Wilson believes the air has
cleared in the Mexican situation and
that Huerta Is more willing to adopt
a concillatory attitude. The president
saw newspaper men at his regular
Monday conference and while not to
be quoted there is little doubt he
hopes for a peaceful outcome in the
Mexican imbroglio
He declared Lind was not required
to report directly to the president but
would work through O'Shaughnessey
and proceed In a manner not to
arouse any Mexican resentment. 1t
Is probably too much to expect that
Huerta will retire Immediately but
because of the governments financial
embarrassments, the president said
he expected to see soon the election
of a stable government. If Huerta
proves obdurate, Lind plans to dis
cover definitely the forces behind
Carranza for president and report
fully to the administration of his
discoveries There will be no effort
of the administration to hurry Lind's
work. In the meantime the army and
navy are ready.
Favor General Carranza.
Senator Sheppard of Texas, has
told the president that so per cent oil
the people In Mexico favor General
Carranza's claims to the presidency
The president thinks this will be hard
to prove but it Is reported he is i'm
pressed with the claims of the consti-
tutionalista faction to recognition OF
their belligerancy and is willing to be
shown that they are as much entitled
to recognition as Huerta and his par
ty.
The president does not agree with
Senator Williams that an organized
financed movement exists to force
American Intervention. Congressman
Kahn's suggestion that Brazil, Argen-
tie and Chile be invited to act with
the United States in Mexican inter-
vention to secure fair election mas
not been officially brought to the
presidents attention.

The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1913-10-01

In a speech before the North Da-
kota Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. at Lisbon the other day, Gov.
Hanna put himself unequivocaIly on
the side of law, and especially the
prohibition law of the state, in the
following language:
II am heartily in favor of proht-
billion. am glad it has stood upon
the statute books of our state for rs
years.
mot only in North Dakota but all
over the country prohibition Ia be-
coming stronger and stronger in the
hearts of the people. 1t Is a plain
business proposition.
II believe that for the sake of our
health and the sake Of u boys and
girls we must keep prohibition.
II know of no good reason why
women should not vote. I do not
believe women care for Office. They
want to vote to keep the men
straight. The women of North Dako-
Ia can count on my vote for suffrage
a year hence"
And the Governor is right. II
those who account themselves the
good people Of the state will do their
share In the matter. 1t will be q long
time before North Dakota goes back
to the devil in the form Of the open
saloon. OF course. there will occas-
tonally be liquor shipped in, and

able. So 1t will be. seen that tina lot
of the farmer Of the latter Alaeai1e
was not all a bed Of roses. and st
often kept him guessing" to p>I
even the low wage Of twelve dolllIe
per month for his ''help" and msk1
the record balance at the end Of TIL
season. But conditions have chanGk
ed In the past fifty yeaks. and { Is
save our lives we cannot SEQ how thu
farmer of today can pay the waGes
demanded of him and gcontinue to- a.
business. 1t may be argued that to
from what they were way baek
there-that the acreage Is vaStY
greater and that the facilities for
harvesting and getting the grain to
market + so perfect that with sthe
fifty per cent more received for shts
wheat and other grains than In tho
early days Of the west; that thes In
crease in wage from twelve md
eighteen dollars per month to forty
and forty-ive dollars. which is now
being paid by farmers all over tho
Northwest. is no more than q faAr
ratio Of increase. But do the con
tenders for the present high Wages
consider the enormous expense for
machinery, which must be met, by
the modern farmer at least everysAye
OF six years, and the thousand and
one other items of cost that did, NOT
enter into his calculations then?
But what does this all tend to- you
ask Are we ~"knocking'' high
wages? Not at all. We are willing
that every man should sell his sar.y-
ices in the highest market, and We
only wish that the market may. be
able to meet the demand without
going broke. And this also We do
know: no farmer in this county or
state-that is. we mean, raiseEa- Of
wheat and other products. Of the
%soilcan continue to pay the present
wage demanded. and come out whola
at the end OF the season; and that
means that the very foundation of
all our wealth and prosperity Is at
least "shaky."
What is the remedy Well, We
cant say we don't know. There
certainly is q screw loose somew here
in this farm system, and until It, Is
located and adjusted there will al
ways go up the cry of high cost of
living.
