Nobody knows what the first

his ways are often inexplicable
We often think him stupid. but
it may be because we do not
realize what things he has to do
to placate ignorant Mexican
sentiment. n
There is a deep-seated distrust
of US beyond the border. On one
pretext and another. we took
away from Mexico as much ter
ritory as she now has. Those,
acts have not been forgotten.
Carranza might be more trust
full and more intelligent in his
dealings with US if they had
never occurred.
The late campaign was fought
out on one side on broad hints Of
armed Intervention in Mexico.
Mexican blood dripped from
many a campaign speech. De-
mands for armed Intervention
have been proclaimed in the
halls Of the American congress.
They are frequently voiced in
American newspapers. Annexa-
tion Of all territory between the
Rio Grande to Panama is con- !.

MANAGER BUNGE OF AMALGA.
MATED OVER LINE TODAY.
Declares That Company Builds Where
Conditions and Acreage Are Favor
able.

Everything is in readiness for the
railroad meeting tonight and j. A.
Crom and others interested will have
something of interest to tell the peo-
pie of Twin Falls about the proposed
line to Castleford. The only thing
needed, according to Mr.. Crom and
others who have studied the subject, is
plenty of the right kind of enthusiasm
and it is hoped that that will be furn-
ished in a large measure by the meet
ing tonight.
A meeting in favor of the proposed
road was held last night at the Super
ior school house and addressed by ].
A. Crom. The people all expressed
themselves as favorable to the idea
and decided to send delegation to at
tend the, meeting tonight.
Manager M. Bunge of the Amalga
mated Sugar company of Burley, ac-
companied by T. L. Ferrin, engineer
for that company, arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon and left for Cas-
tleford this morning with Mr.. Crom
to look over the field in regard to the
advisibility of putting in a factory in
case the road should be built.
81 have nothing to say as yet, of
course, in regard to possibilities Of
Castleford, as l have not been over the
country" said Mr. Bunge this morn
ing, but l can say this that the Anal
gamated Sugar company is always
willing to build factory in a favor
able location, where the acreage is
sufficient, and where the possibilities
seem good / was requested to in
vestigate this matter by General Man
ager Eccles, of the company, as re-
suit of a letter from Harley Hooker,
who urged an investigation and SEEM
ed to think that conditions were favor
able. Mr.. Eccles replied that he was
not familiar with the situation but
gave him to understand that he would
investigate. | shall, of course, report
to Mr.. Eccles and would not in any
event be able to say anything definite
to the meeting tonight, though l am
always glad to participate in any meet
ing where l can help encourage the
development of the country. If condi-
tions in the sugar market continue in
the future to be as favorable as they
have been during the past two years,
the company will doubtless continue to
build factories in favorable locations. y
