How American Interests Are Pro-
tected in Mexico.

Mr.. Geo. E. Coke, mining engineer
of Deming, New Mexico, who was an
over Sunday guest at The Carlton
hotel, tells some interesting expert
ences with the various insurgent armies
of Mexico few months ago, showing
how American interests are subject to
all manner of indignities in that coun-
try. Mr.. Coke was operating silver
mine in western Mexico when General
Villas army came along and demanded
SIS, 900 in gold be paid within a specified
time, promising protection from any
further molestation. Within month
Gen. Salezar and army came into that
section and drove the Villa forces out
of the country. The commander sent
one of the men around to notify the
company that another contribution
would be expected if the mine was to
continue operation. The company had
Mexican in their employ who was
sent to the general to protest when the
messenger was seized and held for
$500 ransom. This was paid as we'll
as the original levy. Mr.. Coke was
also seized and all his money, clothing,
shoes, hat and everything taken from
him and turned loose with few rags
the Mexicans gave him in return. AT
ter the bandits had stripped them of
SIS, 900 in gold the company attempted
to make a shipment of ore to Ell Paso
but the de facto government at the
border fixed an export duty so high
that they surrendered the shipment
rather than proceed with it. The COM
pany then threw up their hands to the
robbers and quit the country in dis
gust. A short time ago Gen. Villas
army recovered the territory and Villa
confscated their mining property to his
own benefit Mr. Coke states that
Villa has over six millions in gold de-
posted in United States banks along
the border, Wrung from Americans and
foreigners in Mexico.
Previous to going to Mexico Mr..
Coke was operating in Central America
but the numerous revolutions with its
insecurity of life and property drove
him out of that country, and now the
conditions in Mexico are so intolerable
that he has concluded that the United
States is about the safest place to Go
business in at present.

A few weeks ago The Reporter men
toned the visit of Dr. Wheeler of the
American Agricultural Chemical Co. to
the state to make an examination of
our tobacco soils, with view of rec
ommending a fertilizer formula that
might improve the quality of Wiscon-
sin tobacco. After careful analysis of
the soils taken at that time DR.. Wheel
er has prepared three kinds of fertil-
izer which in his opinion will bring re-
suits. The United Cigar Manufactur-
ers Co. have selected twelve plats on
which to conduct experiments with
these fertilizers the present season,
ranging from 2 to acres on each farm.
Four of these experiments will be con-
Quoted in the vicinity of Edgerton on

Four more on the lighter soils about

county. The company agrees to pur-
chase the tobacco at an additional price
that will cover cost of fertilizer used as
inducement for the growers to care
fully conduct the experiments. The
results obtained from use of scientific
combinations of fertilizers will be
matter of considerable interest to the
growers of this state and we promise
to keep our readers fully informed as
it proceeds.

Cleanup Week.

The time of the year for cleaning up
has arrived, and for that reason the
second week in May is appointed as the
proper and fitting time to do so. One

mutation, and clean their premises in
general.
Let everyone take lively interest in
this yearly event and give the city of
Edgerton the justly earned title of
''The Little City Beautiful. y
