Mr. Rankin secured an agreement

Only one obstacle is in the way,

WASHINGTON, D. o., Nov 5.- Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner There seems to have been no end, of political dickering over the cur rency bill. but the indications are that the Democratic members of the sen ate, notwithstanding the controversa ries that have been taking place in the committee, are getting closer to- gether, and while he time is getting shor for the disposal of this great piece of legislation, yet it is felt that the Democratic forces! are settling heir differences outside of the senate chamber. Although it will be a rec ord-breaking piece of work if the bill is passed before the end of the spe- cial session, ye it is felt that the chances of victory for the Democratic policy are better than they were fortnight ago. Vice President Mar shall, who has been faithful aide to the president, considers the situation safe, and he has announced that he will spend a short vacation time in Indiana and Mexico before settling down to the regular witner's work in Congress.

 friend of mine I asked him to iell me about the election. We'll he said, all I know is that some time during the day one old man came in and put piece of paper in the box. That night the judges of election re- ported that Diaz had received 348 votes in that precinct, with not vote against him."
 The Ice Makers
 The manufacture of artificial ice, covered by census statistics for 1909, indicates that the rivers and lakes of the country have strong competi- tor among the private establishments that manufacture the frozen water. It appears that in 1909 there were g., GOA establishments in eht United States, which were engaged in the manufacture of ice. The members employed in the industry was 21,107 of whom 16,114 were wage earners. The capital invested amounted to s11S,641 ,53S, and the value of prod
