LUMBER AND WOODWORKING.

The Rawson-Works Lumber Co. at
Kamiah, Idaho, has recently finished
a dam 500 feet long and so feet high,
built five miles of fiume and completed
a modern office.
Monday afternoon the sawmill be-
longing to the Republic Lumber Co.,
four miles southeast of Republic,
Wash, was destroyed by fire, together
with 100000 feet common and 100000
feet of clear lumber. The loss is esti-
mated at $4,000, with no insurance.
H. V. Jarvis, Charles Jarvis and Chris
Ward compose the company. Cause
is unknown, but it is supposed to have
originated from sparks falling on the
roof of the shed.

individuality is invaluable in the
building up of business, but not to the
extent that the successful conduct OF
a concern is dependent upon single
individual. Not only does such con-
dition place limitations upon develop

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: Adverse
weather conditions accentuated the
prevailing quietness in trade. Evil
dences of improvement are not absent,
yet progress is checked by the back
ward spring. This retards distribu-
ton of seasonable merchandise and
has caused accumulation of goods in
some quarters.
"The supply of commercial paper
continues light, Notwithstanding the
attractive terms offered by financial
institutions. Confidence in the future,
however, is maintained, largely be-
cause of the splendid agricultural out
look.
Winter wheat is in such shape that

points to an increased cotton acre

are a stimulus to spring trade. In

Sugar in Mozambique.

Africa is reputed to make about half
a million long tons of cane sugar. OF
this, however, 100000 tons come from
the island of Mauritius, more than q
thousand miles from the mainland;
some 10000 tons from the island OF
Reunion, off the coast of Madagascar,
aserts the Louisiana Planter. Ma
tai, the English colony, comes next,
with some $4,000 tons, and then Mo
zambique, the Portuguese South Afri-
can colony, contributes some $4,000
tons.
Cane culture in Mozambique has
only assumed these proportions very
recently and the French consul in his
report to his government adverts to
this fact and to the rapid spread of
the industry and to the fact that a
number of central factories have been
constructed. The sugars exported
have been white, yellow, brown and
dark brown, while the sugars have
been exported to Portugal, Belgium,
England and to Natal.
French capital has been utilized con.
siderably in building these factories
as well as in cane culture and sugar
manufacture. A scarcity of labor lie
complained of without any causes
given. We are led to think of the old
hymn, which refers to Ceylon's spicy
breeze, where Every Prospect
Pleases and Only Man Is Vile" Adam

President Sends Troops.

Washington.-Presi Wilson ex-
tended Wednesday the protecting arm
of the federal government to the state
of Colorado. Torn asunder by riots
and battles between the state militia,
mine guards and strikers, Governor
Ammons found the state militia unable
to cope with the situation and asked
for help. The Colorado delegation in
congress, the mine owners, and the
miners themselves, joined in the re-
quest.
1t was one of the rare occurrences
in American history when a state
found itself impotent to assert its au-
thority, but the president, in a tele-
gram to the Colorado governor ex-
pressly stipulated that the federal
troops would confine themselves to
maintaining order only until the
state can reassert its authority and
resume the enforcement thereof"
The president issued proclamation
ordering all persons engaged in do
nestle violence to dispense and 're-
tire peaceably to their abodes" before
April 30. Secretary Garrison, after a
conference with the president, ordered
three troops of the Fifth cavalry from
Fort Leavenworth and two troops of
the Twelfth cavalry from Fort D. A.
Russell, Wyoming, to Trinidad and
Canon City, respectively.

Strikers So "RIIed" up at Working
Conditions, ETC., That They Make
Savage Attack on Property of
Mine Owners There.

Washington. April 27.-President
Wilson probably will send federal
troops into Colorado to aid in compos-
ing the serious situation in the coal
fields. Colorado representatives in
congress, after a conference at the
White House, said late tonight they
expected the troops to be ordered out
In the morning. The emergency has
become serious, four guards at the
Chandler mine, near Canon City, hav-
ing been killed Sunday, while IL 9TH
ers are said to be missing
Canon City, Col.-The force of mine
guards at the Chandler mine, near
here after the death of at least four
of their number, fled Sunday before an
attacking mob of strikers, who were
continuing their assault upon the
mine property. The mine camp of the
Victor-American Fuel company was
then occupied by the strikers, and the
tipple dynamited and buildings fired.
Four mine guards William King, Rob
ert Perrine, Charles Pinch and John
Thomas, are known to be dead, and at
least IL other guards are said to be
missing. Fighting opened at l o'clock
and shortly before o'clock the stri-
kers were in possession.
Union officials claim they have cap
tured 20 mine guards and one ma
chine gun but officials of the mine
declare there were not more than %
or 80 guards about the property.
Canon City itself was believed to be
threatened with invasion by strikers,
who, it was reported to the mayor, in
tended to destroy the Arkansas Val
ley Light and Power plant, the city
hall and other buildings, which are
large consumers of coal mined by non
union miners. Thoroughly alarmed by
the reported situation the city coun-
Gil issued a call for massmeeting of
male citizens to form a town guard.
At the meeting, attended by hundreds
of men, 200 volunteered to be deputy
sheriffs and were commissioned and
armed.
A patrol of deputies is marching
about the streets now. Another pa
troll is placed at the approach of the
three bridges over the Arkansas river,
means of ingress to Canon City.

HUERTA ACCEPTS OFFER OF
SOUTHERN COUNTRIES TO
TRY AND SETTLE WAR.
PRESIDENT WILSON GIVES PERMIT
Argentina, Chile and Brazil Take Ac.
tive Part in Restoring Piece
Meanwhile War Preparations
Go On AS Before.

Washington.-Span Ambassador
Riano announces that he received pri-
vate advices from Mexico City stating
that General Huerta had accepted the
offer of Argentina, Brazil and Chile to
use their good offices to bring about
an amicable settlement of the diff
culties between the United States and
Mexico as has Pres. Wilson.
This information, though not official,
was accepted as authentic by the am
bassador, who soon expects to be pres
pared to place General Huerta's formal
acceptance before the representatives
of the three South American countries
Spanish Embassy Assists.
The interests of the Huerta govern
ment in the United States were taken
over by the Spanish embassy, when
Charge Algara asked for his pass
ports and left Washington for Can
ada. Ambassador Riano received the
offer of good offices from the three
peace ENJOYS Sunday night after the Of
fer had been accepted on the part of
the United States by President Wilson
1t was cabled to the Spanish minister
at Mexico City and by him presented
to President Huerta
When the formal acceptance from
Mexico City is in hand the South
American diplomats will be ready to
proceed with their plan. 1t has been
generally understood here that the
peace ENJOYS expect to deal directly
with the situation created by the re-
sentiment by the United States govern
ment in the Tampico incident and
other offenses against its honor and
dignity, hoping to bring about a peace
full settlement.
War Preparations Proceed.
Hope for peace-yet not slackening
in preparations for war-was the
spirit of Sundays developments in the
Mexican crisis.
President Wilson, hopeful, although
not satisfied, that war may be averted
through the efforts of Argentina,
Brazil and Chile, approving orders for
the joint jurisdiction of the army and
navy over Vera Cruz and vicinity
when Brigadier General Funston, who
will be in command there arrives
Monday to reinforce Admiral Fetch
er's forces Of marines and bluejackets.

Statement of Case.

Since September %, 1918, between
5000 and 10000 of the 10000 men en-
ployed in Colorado's mines have been
on strike. They demand recognition
of their union, the United Mine Work
ers of America; 10 per cent wage in
crease; an eight-hour day; the right
to trade and board where they please,
and enforcement of the state mining
laws and abolition of the guard sys-
tenn"
The operators contend that the
miners receive adequate wages, and
that most of the other demands had
been complied with prior to the calling
of the strike.
