Treasure Stained With Blood.
"All the stories of early mining OPP
erations in Mexico are not blotched
with the blood of poems There is the
interesting, authentic account of the
famous Avino mine, worked as an
open quarry and decided by the owner
to all the white men. who would build
their homes close together for mutual
protection against hostile tribes. This
was the beginning of the prosperous
City of Sunshine Durango.
1T is of the Durango vicinity. in
cidentally, that one of the most pa
thetic stories of an ancient prospect
or's hopes is told. Thirty years after
the conquest a wealthy Spaniard,
hearing of mountain of solid silver
started on journey of exploration
He travelled for days, hoping each
that the rising sun would re-
veal gigantic peak of glistening
treasure. At last it came In view. He
nastened on, but when he reached the
base of the mountain he discovered
that it was of iron instead of silver.
Crushed in spirit, he camped that
1ight at the foot of the mass of fer
GUS ore. Indians fell upon his band
md some of his followers were killed |
While the leader himself was MORALLY |
wounded. He died while making his
way back to the capital This adven-
urer's name is perpetuated in the
amous mineral mountain, Cerro de
dercado, one of the richest outcrop-
ings of iron ore in the world.

con 3 WORK

Mr. william Green, the plasterer,
ably assisted by Mr. George Manning,
has just finished afine lot Of concrete
pavement and gutter work. After
pIastering Mr.. CrossIand's new house
Mr.. Green laid the sidewalk in concrete
on the west side of South Broad from
the corner Of Church street to the Citi-
zen's bank.
Then he made an excellent pavement
in front of Mrs. NaudaiE's property
from the side steps of her dwelling,
along the front and side Of Fogel &
Burstan's Department Store, and there
after along all the stores on North
Broad to Anderson street.
After making a fine concrete gutter
from the Anderson corner to the iron
culYert on Main street, wherein he did
not initiate the futile attempt on the
opposite side of the street, to make
water run up hill, he laid a third piece
of unimpeachable concrete sidewalk be-
fore Mr. j. B. Foard's home on West
Main street.
Mr.. Green's sidewalk work is even
better than that laid by the Juniata
Company, and his gutter made no blum
dering departures from the grade that
keeps water standing in spots. Mr..
Green is a skillful and quick workman.
and his lieutenant Manning also, while
their colored helper Glees is also an abe
worker. If the Town Board had gotten
Mr.. Green to do that spoiled and costly
job Of street making on Main the citi-
zens would surely have had better
street for less money.

President Wilson a the first president to cast a vote for wonnan
suffrage.
He wrote the first plank in the Democratic platform recommending
the states to give the women the vote.
lie has declared that he would endeavcr to make the suffrage plank
efectual by every influence that h. a properly and legitnmatcy exercise.
Largely as a result of this : titude the Democratic party in South
Dakota and West Virginia, the two states where the question comes up
this year, has declared unequivo ally in favor Of woman suffrage. The
Republicans in these tates have done likewise.
During President Wilson's administration a vote on the nationwide
suffrage amendment obtained in the house for the first time, and in
the senate for the first time in twenty years. 1t obtained a majority in
the senate.
President Wilson says that he hopes to keep a n open mind on the
question of a Federal amendment and he has shown in other matters
that he is o afraid to change his position
The Womans Journal has tried to present impartialy the stand OF
the two leading candidates as it affects woman suffrage. Which of the
we merits support at the polls November 9TH OF this question, and other
questions, however, is a matter for the voters to decide. Women want
the vote. In thrtysX states they are not yet voters. Probably every
woman in the country would like to express a choice o the question of
whether n of these two men or II of the other candidates should be
the next president.
But until women have the vote, they have 10 effective method OF *
pressing a choice. If they express a choice more generally for one can

AS its nam would indicate, the newlyinvented engine OF destruction
called the subterrane, operates through the earth a a torpedo travels
through the sea
Its sole function is % worm its way into enemy territory and to X
earth will stop it.
1t will eat its way through earth, clay, sand, chalk, loose rock, soft
stone, bedrock, concrete and even steel.
No fort yet Sonstructed is strong enough to resist this ingenious IN
strument of destruction for its explosive chamber has a capacity Of 400
cubic feet and could carry sufficient explosive to destroy a city.
When the subterrane reaches its destination it is detOnated. This,
of course, results in the destruction OF the device itself, but that would
be a trihng loss compared with the damage it would inhict upon the
enemy.
The first subtcrrane for use i'll warfare would costs 4SWO to
struct, but they might be built in numbers for about $4,000 each.
The practical value OF the subterrane,' avs the inventor, is that
it offers a safe means, SO far as its operators are concerned, by which
enemy trenches. forts, positions and even cities may be destroyed. This
would be done II a manner and by mean which would leave the eneny
absolutely no method of defense ganst the attack. The hrtt the enemy
would know Of the arrival OF the subterrane would be the cHack smc
explosion which it would effect.
Even if the enemy knew operations OF the kind were under way
there is no known method OF defense. Flight alone could a the garri-
so or the inhabitants Of the city attacked

The good example set by thirty-fve girls in Chicago recently should
be followed the country over.
These girls, representing the thrtyfve wards OF Chicago, met in
the wonans bureal of Democratic National headquarters, in the karpen
building, for the organization of the Just "Twenty-one Club" of first
voter for Woodrow Wilson.
Although the organization a launched with an idea Of social ac-
tvity rather than political, o many inquiries concerning it came into
the bureau that the club promises to be II of the most important, as
well as one OF the most interesting features OF the campaign. Mrs.
George Bass who suggested the organization, states that the Just TWEEN
tyone Club" will be entitled to all the privileges of a regular organization
In all OF. the decisions rendered by Candidate Hughes while sitting
on the United States Supreme bench almost all of them we're OF the
destructive order. 1t a knock down and drag out. There was nothing
constructive in any of them. The same methods characterize his present
campaign. 1t is damn everything the other fellow does and offer nothing
