VILLA JOINED BY
CARRANzA TROOPS
1000 MEN UNDER GEN. LUIS
HERRERA DESERTS, Is
d REPORT.
SITUATION IS SERIOUS
Grave Dissatisfaction Among All The
Regular Mexican Troops On
~ The Border.
&,gGs

Columbus, March 22.-(passed by
censor. General Luis Herrera, un-
til recently the Carranza military
governor OF chihuahua, has re-
nounced Carranza and announced
himself in favor OF Villa. and is TAX
ing the field in western Chihuahua
with 1000 troops, according to re-
liable information received here to-
night.
The exact place at which General
Herrera's troops are encamped is
not indicated in the message which
reached Columbus from a source
that always has been found reliable.
II is believed, however. that the
troops, most OF whom recently con-
situated the Carranza garrison at
chihuahua City tonight are at some
place between the San Pedro and
chihuahua and are preparing to
work north and west toward the
American punitive expedition in the
field under General Pershing.
Sentiment For VILLA.
The sentiment of the people in
this district, which lies about seventy
miles directly east Of the Guerrero
region in which villa began his days
as an outlaw, is strongly in favor OF
the bandit chieftain. His success in
withstanding Porfrio Diaz' rurales
for eight years during all of which
time there was a heavy price on his
head was due to the loyalty Of the
poems. Army men believe here Her
rera and his command will have ev-
cry possible cooperation from the
people of the district.
Important Development.
The report marks an important
development in the American cam
paign to capture villa, according to
experienced observers of Mexican
military affairs. 1t is pointed out the
reported remuneration of the Car
rama standard by Herrera is the
first made by an important military
leader Of the defacto government
since the American troops crossed
the international line. The possible
effect upon the other Carranza lead
ers, who have been reported waver-
ing in their loyalty to the govern
ment of the first chief" is food for
much discussion.

We Have Patience

The patient attitude Of the peo-
pie of Minnesota toward the In
dustrial Workers of the World
does credit to their good nature
and forbearance, if not to their
judgment says Skillings' Mining
Review. And it may be well for
the [. w. w. to not mistake toll
Grafton for license, for the people
Of Minnesota are much like decent
people everywhere. When they
get good and ready to resent
something they may make very
clean job of it. The I. w. w.

gon and Washington, not by
"gunmen" q. w. w. slang for
deputy sheriffs) but by the cit
liens Of the states.
These labor pretenders at

they are cunning and dangerous.
There is no reason why they

earned reputation for violence
and disorder, and utter contempt
for law and the flag, places them
beyond the pale. They are not
good citizens.
The 1. w. w. do not desire en-

but they are interfering with
somebody else's business when
they declare that other men shall

seem, been pretty well exhausted.

OLD SETTLERS
Second Annual neusiIon q Grand
Success.

The second annual reunion of
the Ve-milion Range Old Settlers
Association came to a successful
close at Tower Saturday evening
when some 300 attended the ban
quet that marked the end of three
days of merrymaking and general
good fellowship in which the old
timers Of the Vermilion partic-
Ipated.
The banquet was served in a
tent, the serving being done by
Mine Host Anderson of the City
Hotel. Past President John
Owens acted as POSTMASTER and
addresses were made by Lon Mer,
rift of Duluth, Chas. T. Murphy
Of Aurora, John Gill of Virginia,

of Duluth gave q recitation and
Miss Lang sang a song, both of
which were received with ap-
|plause. Miss Helen Benson fav-
ored the audience with vocal
selection to which she was forced
to respond with an encore. Ar
thur Toms gave several of his di-
alect stories and made a hit. The
weather was not exactly con-
ducive to an outside banquet but
nevertheless fine time was had.
POSTMASTER Owens was in a
happy mood and his remarks were
among the pleasures Of the even
ng.
The meeting of the Old Set
Settlers opened Thursday. The
old timers began to arrive early
Thursday morning. The trains
were crowded and many came by
car from neighboring towns. The
first day of the reunion was spent
In renewing old acquaintance and
making new ones.
Friday some fifty cars from this
city left for Tower loaded with
members. The trains also carried
a large number. Upon arrival at
Tower the parade was formed.

1917 PRICES
Next Years Ore Prices BEING
Considered by Consumers.

Already there is some specula-
tion as to the prices of iron ore,
and lake carrying rates, for 1917.
There seems to be a disposition
to threSh out these matters un-
commonly early. An eastern
trade publication says that there
is strong conservative element
that believes that an advance of
10 cents on ore carrying, and 35
cents on ore, ought to be the limit
OF advance for the coming year. !"
As the quoted matter had its
origin in Cleveland, and was sug=
gested by statement that one
1900 ton cargo boat has been char
tered for all of net season to
carry ore at 81, it looks as if the
strong conservative element"
was already planning to dis
courage a fair price of ore for
next season. They got by with
an advance of IS cents a ton for
this year, and it was not enough.
The independent producer who
depends upon selling his product
in the open market is not getting
anything like the profit he should
when one considers the price of
pig iron, and the costs involved
in the production of ore.
For more reasons than one it
would appear to be wise for indie
pendents to not be in hurry to
fix the price of ore for 1917. If
they had waited another 80 or 60
days before fixing the prices for
1916 they would have had no
trouble in getting an advance over
81 i'm 1915 instead of IS cents.
The Mining Review is glad to
observe that there is a sentiment
in places which ought to be help
full, to allow the independents to
enjoy a more adequate profit in
1917. There is no question that
the independent should have an
advance of at least so cents a ton
, net for 1917. In other words, a
grade of ore which commands at
present So a ton at the mine,
should in 1917 command $3.50,
plus and advance in the present
season lake freight rate of 60
cents ton, which rate shall in
clude dock charges, as now. The

several weeks earlier in order to
encounter better weather. 1t was
Figured that the latter part Of July
or the first week in August would
be better time as the days are
longer and the weather was more
to be relied upon.
The Vermilion Range Old Set
tiers Association has grown from
a beginning two years ago Of only
a few members to an organization
|0f considerable magnitude. Last
year the membership numbered
nearly three hundred. This year
the dues paid amounted to only
Ia few short of four hundred and
several more have signifed their
intention of becoming members.
When it is considered that only
male members are required to pay
dues, it means that the Old Set
tiers have more than eight hun
dred members now.
Taken all in all the second an
nual reunion of the Old Settlers
was considerably handicapped in
handling the large number of Wis
itors but to their credit it must
be said that everything passed off
very pleasantly and everyone was
satisfied. To the committees hav-
ing the arrangements in charge,
and especially to Vice President
Morcom, who was untiring in his
efforts, is all credit due. Consid-
cradle credit is also due the ex-
ecutive committee Of the associa-
ton who worked hard to make
the affair the success it was. Ely
will have the meeting next year
and we sincerely hope that all
concerned will be as untiring as
those having the last meeting in
hand.
