Mills Move to Canada

Washington, Nov. 5.-Advices which
have reached the national capital indi-
cate that the free lumber provision of
the Underwood-S od-Simmons-Wilson tariff
bill is playing havoc in the Pacific
northwest. For example, Represents.
tives Johnson and La Toilette Of
Washington are advised that the shin.
gle mills Of that state, unable to com.
pete with free shingles from Canada,
have moved or are preparing to move
bodily across the Canadian line. The
Washington representatives sincerely
hope that Secretary of Commerce Red
field will turn loose the Investigators
of his bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce on these shingle mills in or.
der to ascertain whether or not their
failure is real or simulated.
They declare that the investigators
will find ample physical evidence that
free shingles put these mills out Of
business and drove them across the
border into Canada. The only thing
left in some instances is the site on
which the plant formerly stood.

Probe Telephone Meraer

Spokane, Nov. THAT the original

bonds to the amount of $1.10 were is.
sued in payment, and that the total
debt Of the companies now is $5,8O7,-

were features of the testimony given
in the federal investigation of the al
legged telephone trust in the northwest
by Attorney John F. Davies, vice
president and secretary OF the Inter-
state Consolidated Telephone COM
pany, the holding company of the
Lane concerns.
Replying to question as to wheth-
er the Montana laws prohibited Nmerg-
ers, the witness said there was con-
stitutional provision prohibiting merg-
ers, so-called, between telephone COM
panies. but no penalty was attached.

Waiting for Huerta

Washington, Nov. 5.-Waiting for
word from Provisional President HUI
erta was the way the attitude of Of
ficial Washington toward the Mexican
situation was described today. Ad-
ministration officials continued to re-
fuse to shed light on the last commu-
nication, which conveyed to General
Huerta the desire of the United States
that he eliminate himself from the
tangled situation.
There is no one in Washington who
does not believe that confronting Pres
ident Wilson is one of the most seri-
GUS and difficult dilemmas which any
chief executive of the United States
has ever had to grasp in the Mexican
situation.
The conviction has apparently set
tied down over all Washington, both
In administrative circles and at the
Capitol, in the last few days, that
there are but two ways out of the
Mexican tangle-one is by retreating
and the other is by the use of force.
President Wilson said only few days
ago that he never backed out of any
thing.

Franklin K. Lane, who returned from

ed outside the park in improving
roads outside the park in the Black.
foot reservation, is opposed in this by
the comptroller Of the treasury, who
calls the secretary's plan "a violent
presumption" and holds that the ap-
preparation may only be expended on
park roads.
Secretary Lane, after his visit to
the park, planned to build with this
appropriation a sixteen-mile stretch
of road through the reservation, justi.
flying this action on the grounds that
it would really be for the improve.
ment of the park. The comptroller's
opposition, if continued, will make it
necessary to abandon the Lane plan.

willing to make like reductions, it is
thought probable Haines again will be

WANT GOOD GOVERNMENT
New York Voters Rebuke Tammany
BY Large Plurality

New York, Nov. 5.-Each successive
recapitulatiOn today affirmed the
crushing defeat of Tammany in yes
terday's elections. The organization
was not only engulfed in a plurality
of more than 100000 votes with
which the fusionists elected John Pur.
roy Mitchell mayor of New York City,
but in many upstate districts a severe
rebuke was administered to the Tam.
many democracy that has been in con-
troll of the state since the days of
Governor Hughes.
William Sui er, deposed by Tam
many's exposure of his unlisted CAM
paign contributions, was reelected to
public Office less than three weeks
having interviewed since he was re-
moved from the governors chair. He
will return to Albany in January as a
member of the assembly. Many of the
legislators who voted to impeach him
met defeat, with the result that he will
sit in an anti-Tammuny house.
On the basis of incomplete returns
it was estimated that the next as
sembly will be composed of eighty
five republicans, seventeen progress
sives and forty-eight democrats. Many
of the latter were said to be men of
progressive or Independent tenden.

Will Test Montana Grain

Bozeman, Nov. 10.-With all of the
machinery installed Superintendent
Whitlock expects to soon be running
capacity business grinding -four, bak-
ing bread and announcing the rsults
of his tests. A Wolfe automatic mill
has been installed and an electric ov-
en- and sponge installed last week.
The Wolfe mill is small and especial
ly designed for experimental work. In
it the scourer cleanses the wheat, the
mill grinds it and the plant sitter
grades the -four and returns the coarse
article to the mill.
A special room contains the state
bakery" with the mixer and oven
and a sponge case and scales for reg
ulating quantities. Here everything
is based on uniformity, the time for
mixing, raising and baking being fixed
and the heat for baking never var
liable. A test loaf of some standard
wheat is baked with each "batch."
The bakery can conduct rs tests at
the same time.
Farmers are welcomed to send in
their wheat and other grain to the
state laboratory for testing.

Storm Causes Shipwrecks

Chicago, Nov. 10.-Floating upside
down, steel freight boat as long as
a city block rolled in the surf off Port
Huron, Mich, tonight. It was perhaps
the most noteworthy index of the
force of the storm which swept the
middle west, east and south yesterday
and blew itself out across Buffalo, Nj.
agara Falls, and the st. Lawrence
river today.
Not even the great storm of 1905
which wrecked half dozen of the
great ore-carriers on Lake Superior,
reached the velocity which, striking
the high sides of the unloaded lev
latham today, overbalanced her tons
of machinery, set well below the wa
ter line, and, it is believed, carried
captain and crew to instant death. In
all, three boats are known to have
been wrecked, and there are three
ashore in the upper great lakes.

Suicides Arouse Suspicion

Roundup, Nov. 10.-The sixteenth
suicide in Musselshell county for the
current year promises developments.
Steve Kolaff, of exemplary habits, was
reported last night as having suicided
near this city.
After investigation, Coroner O'Con-
nor and Sheriff Fisco brought the
body to this city, where an inquest
will be held. Owing to the sobriety of
the young man and his apparent joc-
ularity at all times, no cause could
be assigned for the act. However, a
thorough investigation will be made.
All of the supposed suicides thus far
this year have been foreigners, and
the bodies have been so badly decom-
posed that but little information was
obtainable and they have been adjudg-
ed suicides, but the large number of
mysterious deaths have aroused the
suspicious of the coroner and sheriff,
and other local officers. They are de-
termined to solve the riddle of the
mysterious deaths that have occurred
here during the past few months.
