distance of about SO miles. The
ore runs from to 60 per cent cop
per with some gold and silver.

AMERICANS IN MEXICO
DEMAND u. s. PROTECTION
Tampico Residents Send Telegram
Declaring They are Victims of
Unjust Discrimination

A vigorous protest came to Presi-
dent Wilson the first of this week
from "a American residents Of Tam
pico, Mexico, in which they assert
they are being driven out of business
by unfavorable DEGREES and unfriend-
ly officials. They state that these de-
crees are contrary to Mexican law
and to existing treaties between the
United States and Mxico, and that
they will have to be repealed.
Take Rap at Administration
The protestants say:
We believe the authorities had not
the remotest idea, when they first be-
gan to issue such DEGREES, that they
would be able to enforce them, but
that when nothing was done by our
government to secure their repeal,
these diets have been made more
pl operty Is threatened with confisca-
ton, and in some cases has been ac-
tually confiscated and our personal
liberty menaced."
Hinder Americans Selling
Besides military decree prevent
ing Americans from leasing lands
for oil purposes without consent Of
the state government, the govern
ment has refused to issue certificates
of transfer where an American sells
to another, and the. governor will not
certify to any signature OF a notary
where an American is party to the
instrument.
Mexican Money
One of the most recent of these
embarrassing DEGREES provides that
labor shall be paid, and merchandise
sold on basis of Mexican gold, the
consideration to be paid in Mexican
paper at an arbitrary value fixed by
the government.
Demand Satisfaction
The message closes with plain
statement that something must be
done by our state department:
"* An understanding with
the authorities as to the future
would not be sufficient; the DEGREES
already in existence must be repealed
where they affect Americans"

MAN AND HIS Wife
PRAISE TANLAC
Both Have Used Medicine and Both
Have Been Greatly Benefited

Eugene Cagney, prominent farmer,
living on North Allegan Road, Allegan,
is very enthusiastic about Tanlac. The
reason for this is that he and his wife
have both used the medicine aud have
been greatly benefited by it. Not long
ago he said:
"Tanlac has given me relief from in
digestion and stomach disorders and,
that too, in a very short time. Both
my wife and l used the remedy and
both can speak of it in the highest
terms. We consider Tanlac the finest
stomach remedy ever made"
Tanlac is wonderful aid in restoring
digestion. The medicine, which is en-
tirely vegetable in composition contain
ing no harmful drugs or minerals. slim
ulates the digestive and assimilative
organs, thus permitting the stomach to
thoroughly digest the food. The blood
is therefore enriched and the whole
system is invigorated.
Tanlac may be obtained here at the
store of E. E. Huyck.

At Other Points

At Machias, agents of New York
concern have bought tract of land
on the harbor front and will build
there several good sized schooners.
Several schooners will be built at
Rockland, one at Rockport and two or
more at Milbridge, while at Bath
there is a considerable resumption of
building. The chief difficulties in the
way of a general revival of the indus
try are the high prices of Southern
pine and oak. and the scarcity Of yes
sells for the transportation Of these
materials to Maine ports. 1t is thought
that in some yards native spruce may
be used for frames. as is often done
in Nova Scotia.
At the freight rates now prevailing
in the off-shore trades, and also in the
coastwise coal trade, vessel can pay
for herself in a round voyage or two,
and these rates doubtless will continue
while the European war lasts.
