I consular agent, who has for months

It is considered not unlikely that he

conference at Niagara Falls.
Want Rebels Represented.
Observers Of the situation here hope
that this will prove the case. There
are many in Washington who consider
IL vital TO the interests OF the United
states that Mr.. Bryan do everything
within his power to induce the Consti-
tutionalists to participate In the media
ton. They believe that II the United
States does not take this course the
suspicion which Is already abroad that
this government in reality does not
want the Constitutlonalists TO partici-
pate, prcferring them to go ahead with
their war against Huerta. will find firm
foothold throughout Latin-America'
with the result that Central and South
America will accuse the United states
of bad faith and intrigue.
Persons who take this view believe
that there are possibilities In the
situation Of arousing far greater anti
American feeling in Latin-America
than the Panama Canal incident ever
did. They consider II absolutely essen
tial that this government have records
to prove that the State Department did
everything within its power to further
the cause Of mediation, which the
United States itself espoused with APP
parent enthusiasm.
Huertas charges against the United
States of violating the truce are caus-
ing considerable concern. General Funs-
ton has telegraphed to the Secretary OF
War that lie has done absolutely moth
ing which could be construed as vio-
lation of the understanding between the
two governments. He said he had been
I informed Of the charges OF General
Blanouet, the Mexican Minister Of War.
and asserted that he had Indignantly
denied Them" presumably TO General
Banquet. Secretary Garrison to-day re-
| iterated his previous statements that
there had been no violation. He said
/ that Funston had "thickened' his lines
at certain points, but nowhere had he
extended them.
The Importance Of the Lobos Island
affair is measured by the amount OF
trouble Huerta will make about it. This
protest from Huerta and the previous
complaints Of armistice violations which
he made through the mediators are be-
lieved to comprise on his part an effort
TO build up a case of bad faith against
the government of the United States,
which may at any time be made an ex-
cuse for breaking off the mediation. or
at least supporting All effort to force
the United States agents at Niagara
Falls into an embarrassing situation

can be construed as a violation OF the
understanding between the United
States and Huerta that neither side

Of Associate Justice Joseph Rucker
Lamar, Of the United States Supreme
Court, and Frederick w. Lehman, Of
st. Louis. former Solicitor General. to
represent the United States before the
South American mediators.
There are indications tonight that
Mr.. Bryan is making an effort to in
duce Carranza TO Join in the mediation
conference at Niagara Falls. He has
intimated to the mediators that It
Knight be advantageous TO ask Car
tnanza definitely to send delegates TO
the conference, whether he is willing
TO enter into an armistice or not. 1t
has always been the understanding of
the mediators that Carranza could

II is not clear that Carranza under

TOM EDISON IS
A QUEER Boy

Just 80 years ago the first incandes-
cent electric lamp was invented by
Thos. A. Edison. And the world was
turned upside down by this invention.
This man. responsible for this in
dustrfal revolution, was born four
miles from Norwalk, in the village
OF Milan. Norwalk people are famil-
lar with the neat little red brick house
on the hillside where Edison first saw
light of day.
Although a mere boy at the time
he left Milan, with his parents, the
opinion prevailing among those who
knew him best, was that young
tom" would never amount to very
much. He did not appear to be an
overly bright child and there was no
one who even surmised that some day
he would be. one of the worlds fore
most men.
Edison's history, like that of all
the greatest seniuses, reads like the
widest romance. Only a few years
ago he was selling newspapers on
a Eliddlewestern railroad. Later he
was an itinerant telegrapher travel
ing from city to city, working when
ever he could find some thing to do.
hired and fired and all too often
without money to buy the necessar
les of life.
The original Edison family came
to this country from Holland in 1870
and took up farming land along the
Passaiic river in New Jersey. The
entire family removed to Nova SEQ
tia in 1904 owing to political opinions,
and later at Bayfield,, on Lake Huron,
and Vienna, ond Lake Erie. Here
Samuel Edison, father of the great
inventor, was married to Miss Nancy
Elliott, a teacher in the public schools
OF that place. About this time there
was a political uprising in Canada
which was promptly squelcheI by the
government and the leading partici-
pants made a hurried fight to Am
erica, among them being Samuel Edi-

cause of its possibilities in silver pro-
duction- The Comstock lode, the boz
nanza mines, the operations Of the
Floods, O'Briens, MackayS, Fairs, Virs
ginia City, the Sutro tunn 4, the Tono-
pah and Goldfield finds, covered many
deficiencies of Nevada as a sovereign
commonwealth. Recognized as a kind
Of an American Montenegro, with al
ways greater probabilities of surprise
in reserve than could be expected
of the other Montenegro, it has come
by degrees into an atmosphere of
g~ood-natured tolerance, and at length
into the respect that is almost invar-
fably paid to a country, as to an in
dividual, that is doing tie very best
that can be done in all the circum-
stances.
Thousands and tens of thousands
have gone to Nevada, and thousands
and tens Of thousands have moved
away from it, during the last fifty
years. The influx in the past has
been induced almost Invariably by
strikes of silver; the efiux has been
caused by the loss of the vein or ex-
haustion of the mine. There is rea-
son to believe that the state would be
more populous and richer today had
1t eve known a mining camp. The
greater part of Nevada is a vast table
land 1000 feet above sea level, above
which peaks of the Sierra Nevada
and Wasatch ranges riss from 1000
to 5000 feet, yet outside If this table
land, a part of the great American
basin, is 10000 square miles of ter
ritory that presents all manner of
possibilities.
Ten years of agricultural develop
ment has done more for Nevada, so
far as its permanent interests are
concerned, than forty years of min
ing. The increase of its population
in the decade 1%9OO-191O vas 1874 per
cent. 1t has arabic LAND IN sufficient
area to provide for many times its
present population. Aside from its
splendid pasturage it raises success
tul crops of wheat, oats, barley and
hay, and all the common vegetables.

son and his family.

Edison's mother was an attractive
and educated woman born In Chen
ango County, New York, and was the
daughter of the Rev. John Elliott, a
Baptist minister.
The Canadian home forfeited, Sam
uel Edison located in Milan, where he
started in business.
Edison the boy attended school
just three month. He was always at
the foot of his class. The teacher
declared him a Ounce and gave him
up in despair. He never went to
school after that. Instead he studied
at home with his mother, and being a
great reader and lover IF good books
he learned fast. His mind seemed
especially attracted to chemistry and
scientific matters
In the cellar of his home he in
stalled a small Laboratory" where
he could experiment with such chem
icals as he was able to buy. In 1859
Edison began selling newspapers on
the trains of the Grand Trunk run
ming between Port Huron and De-
troit. He spent his spare time be-
tween trains in Detroit in the public
library and very soon he had install
ed a miniature Laboratory in the
baggage a of the train, which ac-
cidently one awful day, set the car
afire and he was forcibly elected from
the train by the irate conductor, so
ending his newsboy career.
When Edison arrived in New York
the first crude stock tickers operat-
ed by electricity were being install
ed. His experience as telegraph op-
orator qualified him for employment
with the ticker company and there he
began his wonderful career by i'm.
proving existing stock tickers and in
venting new ones. About this time
he sold his first invention and i'm
proved stock ticker for 100000. 1t
a related by Edison himself that
he screwed up his courage to the
point of asking $4,000 for his inven-
ton but when the fatal moment came
he did not dare to ask for so much
an enormous sum Instead he asked
the company to make an offer and
when they offered the price of $40, 600
the size of 1t nearly numbed his sen
ses. At this time he did not even
know enough about banking to get
the check endorsed and secured the
$4,000 in small bills, which he took
to his lodgins and sat up all night
to watch it for fear someone would
rob him. :

Nevada's Fifty Years

1t is perhaps to much to expect
even the best disposed of eastern
commentators to enter fully into the
spirit Of Nevada's existance, yet it is
pleasant to find in the Christian
Science Monitor one of the first ex-
pressions of editorial sympathy with
this state.
The Journal referred to recently
had an interesting commentary on
Nevada's fifty years Of statehood,
finding in the increase of agricultural
development the hope of populating
the state and making it more stable.
The viewpoint is a good one.A gri-
culture offers bright hopes, but the
time will never come when a noun
tain will be ploughted and sown to
seed. A certain considerable part of
this state will always wait the tread
OF the prospector but this will not
prevent that other certain part from
feeling the heel of the husbandman.
The article from the Monitor fol-
lows:
almost from the day of it's admis-
sion to the Union, Nevada has been a
subject of unfavorable comparison,
the position taken by critics being,
in the main, that statehood confers
on Nevada political consequence out
of all proportion to it's intrinsic worth
According to the census of 1860 it
had but 1857 inhabitants; ten years
later 1t had 42,491; almost midway
between these decennial years, or in
October, 1864, when the territory out
OF which 1t was carved was removed
from Mexican possession, under that
treaty Of Guadalupe Hidalgo, it was
given a position in the counsels of
the nation in some respects equal to
that held by the oldest, most popul-
Gus and wealthy of its sisters. 1t
could for instance, elect two United
States senators, with no more claim
to h a right, on the ground of popu-
lation, than might have been put
forward by one of the smaller coun-
ties of any of the states east of the
Allegheny mountains.
But Nevada was needed in the
Union for political reasons in 1854.
1t was also needed at that time, as it
was more highly valued later, be
