Mayflower Carnival

A meeting was held at the city hall last night to discuss the question of the Mayfower Carnival. Mir. P. H. Fox, who was president of the Carnival Association last year; MT. Henry Erie, treasurer, and Harry McIver, manager, were present and their report showed that the net profits last year paid for the labor of building the pavilion on Mayflower Island, but a good. sized lum Der bill yet remains unpaid. A Carnival Association was again formed by the election of the following officers:
 President-Mayor M. J. O'Connor. Secretary -Treasurer-Henry Erie.
 Manager-Harry McIver.
 Directors-P. H. Fox, M. G. Rogers, D. P. Kennedy, D. J. Kinzie, Chas. A. Hopp.
 It was also decided that this year the price of booths, rented to merchants for purposes of display only, be fixed at S1000.
 ltis very probable that the profits of the undertaking will be cut up between base ball and the lumber bill. Harry McIvor, who had charge of the shouting at the Mayhower Carnival given in Douglas last year, is mighty good man for the job. He has the vim, energy, push and ability. Wherever he went the crowd was thickest and the fun most furious. It was big under taking last year, but he did it. He also made all the plans and saw that they were carried out. Part of the work will be lighter this year because people gen erally understand the proposition bet ter. Merchants who are asked to take space will realize that it's main value is for advertising purposes.
 As statement of the manner in which the proceeds of the 1912 carnival were expended may be of interest, it is here given in full.

DEMANDS RANSOM
FROM FOREIGNERS

chihuahua, Mex April 14.-Maci
oyio Herrera with 400 followers is ter
rorizing the country near here by de-
manoing ransome from foreign resi-
dents. He declares thab Le is oppo-ed
especially TO Americana,
According to advices received hare
today Herrera's band on Sunday en-
tered the town Of Naica and sacked
stores ana residences, taking prisoner
Jose Bovio, an italian subject.
Boyio was released only after the
payment OF g. 400.
Later the bandits entered the camp
of workmen of building the Conchos
river dam, demanding S25000 under
threat Of killing the English heads of
the construction works. J. w. Fuller,
the manager, refused and was tied to
a burro, which Herrera threatened to
send down a mountain side. Fuller's
associates offered $1,000 to prevent
the act, but Herrera insisted tha5 the
sum be doubled, which was done after
much parleying.
Then the bandits looted the homes
of the foreign and American work
men, robbing the company stores of
81 900 in merchandise.

and il is expected that their interest
in the competition will stimulate
greater interest among the parents.
Bad roads have prevented many

UNDERWOOD BILL
Is APPROVED

Washington, d. C.-The democratic
tariff revision bill with its sweeping
reductions and long free lists, was
finished Saturday by the ways and
means committee and the income tax
is now ready for debate in the House
of Representatives.
Approved late Saturday the demo-
cratic caucus as amended in the two
weeks discussion and by the commit
teo in minor features, the bill will be
reintrodu2ed today by Majority Lead
er Underwood. 1t will be reported
fayorably by the members of the
ways and means committee Tuesday
and called up on w ednesday for de-
bate.
Chairman Underwood predicted that
the bill would be passed in the House
by May 18th. Two months, the adj
ministration leaders believe, a gener-
Gus time to allow TO the Senate for
it's consideration and passage of the
bill and unless it is decided to bring
in currency bill thereafter, congress
should be ready to adjourn about
July 18th.
The bill as approved by President
Wilson came through the caucus I'M
scratched. Democratic opponents to
free sugar in three years and to free
raw wool, made the most vigorous
fight on the presidents suggestion
adopted by the ways and means com
mtttee but they were hopelessly out
voted with little chance to develop
enough opposition with republican
alliance to do anything with their
amendments on the floor of the House.
The caucus ratified the bill with its
minor amendments by an overwhelm-
ing vote, some members taking adj
vantage of the rule granting them
freedom from the caucus pledge to
support the bin in its entirety.

acre, bat it is estimated that there
will be about so per cent salvage on
the burned timber, which would make
the actual timber loss about $4,000.
just how much of this timber was
in the state section has not yet been
ascertained, but the loss will be con-
siderable. The Wind Cave National
forest has a small portion of its tim
berburned over. This forest contains
12,G0O acres, but much of it is prairie
land, and is the proposed bison park.
The Custer game preserve of the state
suffered considerable loss in timber.
The fire extended to within two miles
Of Pringie and TO Scott's ranch on the
east. This ranch was badly damaged
by the fire and the Hazen ranch to-
tally destroyed, as it was the scene
OF the origin of the fire, which is said
to haye been caused by Hazen firing
an old straw stack on a windy day.
Ranch property in Martin valley in
the east part of the county is said TO
have suffered heavily.

who writes the best composition, not
to exceed 500 words, on the repair
and maintenance of earth roads, is to
be awarded by Logan Waller Page,

must be submitted to Mr.. Page be-
fore May 15, 1913, and the medal will
be awarded as soon thereafter as the
compositions can be graded. The
composition may be based On Knowl-
edge gained from books or other
sources, but no quotations should be
made.
After many years. experience in
dealing with the public road situation
of the country. it is Mr.. Page's belief
that ignorance on the subjest of re-
pair and maintenance of roads is as
much the cause of their bad condi-
tion as anv other one factor. L. is
expected that the composition will
bring about q better understanding of
the subject OF repairand maintenance
in the rural districts.
