HOLLY NIN PAR vIsI1
80 OLD MEXICO
]. Q. lgsKibbsa asA ". J. House,
Return yreD = Hlsy Trip in
l1sE3eei

J. G. AeKibben and W. J. House
returned the latt9 part of last
week from . thirty day visit in Old
Mexico and Mr.. NcKibben tells the
editor that thirty days in Mexico
was plenty long enough for him.
He says that the esantry lie in . ssr-
rible condition md 4hat everything
has gone down-hill. They have no
crops, roads are baG buildings are
destroyed, industrel cenrsrs are
sleeping on THEFT inns and the
country in Eenefaf on the down
hill grade.
From Holly thy ent to Nogales
and from there on abuth into the
very heart OF Mexic0l being at one
time seven hundred miles across
the linl. They met numerous sold
iers and on one occasion was close
enough to the sceneIof the battle
to hear the firing. While they did
not meet up with Villa, Carranza
or any of the more active members
OF the waring factions they at sever.
al times met bands o9 Indians that
would make a man feel anyway but
comfortable in q strnge land.
They made the entire trip in au-
tomobiles and report at places the
natives did not know what ear
was and were easily frightened
away by the honk of the horn.
The poor class of people are very
ignorant and Mr.. McKibben says
that you would really marvel at
how they managed to live at all un.
der such conditions.
You would have to laugh Il you
could only see them attempt to
milch q COW down that way" said
FIRST fhey tie her hind
lsgsno matter 1fo keltle the
cow then one of the native holds
q pan and the other does the milk
ing. In some cases, if the COW is at
all wild, third party is called in
to tie and hold her head" "An-
other good one" remarked McKib-
ben, lis to see them butcher hog.
They take the hog in the house
where it is killed and cut up In big
pieces and throw into large ket-
tie to boil all the lard out Of It.
That is as far as they know what to
do with 1t. The hog is not skinned
or scalded and scraped it is merely
thrown into the kettle hair and all
and then the lard strained from
the balance when it is well cooked"
In speaking Of probable war be-
tween this country and Mexico he
thought that it would be no trou-
BILE for this nation to lick them but
what are we going to do with them
after we lick 'ern?" is the way he
put it to us and we are free to ad.
nit that it is some question to ask
q stranger.
Mr.. McKibben is connected with
the firm OF Amerine q McKibben,
one of the heaviest dealers in live
stock in the county and admits
quite readily that he is glad to get
back. You can tell them all for
me "he said in closing" that I have
had enough of Mexico to do me for
several months and while the trip
was very enjoyable, instructive and
full of thrills, I would rather be in
Colorado where l can get a real
good meal any old day in the week
why I ate stun down there that
never ate before in my life and-oh
we'll, you know-Colorado for me-

GOOD WORDS FOR
HOLLY'S DAIRY DAY SHOW
Kimball's Dairy Farmer For April Contains Very
Interesting Write-Up

Although wet beet pulp 10 avail
able at Soc per ton during the win
ter, silos have sprung up ON nearly
every farm, diversified farming has
taken root to the extent of raising
corn for silage and, with the great
abundance OF alfalfa raised. dairy
ing has shown itself to be worth
more to this section of almost per-
petual sunshine than the discovery
OF q gold mine would have been.
With such situation existing 1t
is not surprising that the dairy
day held March 18th brought hun
dredes Of farmers and their families
from long distances over good
roads. Neither Is it surprising that
they were enthusiastic people, eag-
erly seeking for further knowledge
pertaining to their new industry.
1t was but to be expected that the
dairy show at which $500 in cash
was offered in prizes would encour-
age the exhibition of a large mum
Der of high class cattle. More than
SO head of Holsteins grade and
Durebred cows and heifers, and
Durebred sires were exhibited.
Especially worthy of note was the
excellent condition OF every entry,
signifying that the farmers are not
only caring we'll for their animals
but that the climatic conditions
and feed grown are such that the
community is proving to be an
ideal dairy section.
A large, beautiful school house
has been built in Holly and there
ut noontime the Ladies' Civic Club
served D luncheon which proved to
be delightful. The after-dinner
speeches were Of interest because of
the wit and indications of optim.
ism they carried.
After lunch q grand street pa
rade took place in which dairy
maids, boy scouts, bands, floats
one with q real COW being MIXED
by milking machine on it-and
the prize winning show animals
were exhibited. Following this an
address was given by Hugh G. Van
Pelt, editor Kimball's Dairy Farm.
er. The speaker dwelt upon the inn
portanee Of those interested in this
new section making certain that
the cows being brought in from
other sections were we'll bred and OF
a productive sort. Especially did
he try to impress his audience with
the fact that they should be par
ticularly discriminating in the,
kinds of sires placed at the head OF
the herds.
F. B. Glimpse of Kansas City
spoke regarding the raising Of poul-
try and develop the idea that
raising turkeys should be especially
pfontaoie IN That section. Expert
lnents led Mr.. Glimpse to believe
that turkyes should be pastured
on alfalfa. They will secure their
living through such a method and
the yield Of alfalfa will be very per-
ceptibly increased because turkeys
eat the insects that tend to curtail
production.
After q full afternoon following
the busy morning during which G.
w. Hall of Denver judged the dairy
cattle, an evening program, well at
tended. was addressed by DIR. Nor.
ton from the Colorado Agricultur.
al College. C. H. Hinman. G. W. Hall
and Hugh G. Van Pelt.

NORTHERN PACIFIC LINE
WILL Be OPEN NEXT WEEK
RESTORE BRIDGES BY SUNDAY
SLIDES DEMORALIZE MINING. d..
OPERATIONS.

Three men lost their lives in snow
slides during the past week, railroad
traffic was seriously interfered with
and several of the mines were forced
to suspend for a few days on, account
of inability to get cars. Hundreds of
people flocked into Wallace to escape
exposure to the danger of slides, and
there was a general cessation of the
usual mining activity. The danger
now seems to be over, and unless a
warm chinook accompanied by rain
should rapidly melt the snow, causing
flow of water too great for the river
channel, there should soon be a gen.
eral resumption of mining operations
throughout the district.
According to a statement made by
C. M. Grubbs, general agent Of the
Northern Pacific, the company hopes
to have the Wallace Missoula branch
week. The two bridges that were car
ried out by slides, one above Dorsey
and the other this side of the IS"
bridge, are expected to be restored by
Sunday. When this is accomplished
itawill be possible to make rapid pro-
gress toward clearing the track. A
passenger train, which includes the
Guggenheim private car, a freight
train and snow pillow are dead on the
track above Dorsey. The restoration
of the bridges win, make it possible to
haul these back in short order, and
with these out of the way it is belev-
ed that the track across the summit
can be opened for traffic within a
week.
In the meantime the Northern Pa
ciic is handling its large freight bus-
ness over the O.-W. r. 4 n. tracks
between this city and Spokane.

MORNING MILL NO. 2
WILL Be CLOSED DOWN
RESULT OF LITIGATION BE-
TWEEN STAR AND FEDERAL
FEW MEN LAID OFF.

orders have been issued which will
close down Morning mill No. 2, which
was formerly known as the Mammoth
MILL near this city. The ore in the
bins will be cleaned up, which will re-
quire day or two, when operations
will be suspended indefinitely. This
action is the direct outgrowth of the
litigation between the Star Mining
company and the Federal Mining a
Smelling company, which owns the
Morning mine. Under the order Of
Judge DIETRICH, the Federal is permit
ted to extract ore only above the 500
level of the Morning mine in the
ground in controversy, and then only
on condition that an accurate record
is kept of all ore extracted, mill it
separately and deposit the difference
between/the amount received from the
smelter under the Federal contract
and the amount that would have been
received If shipped under the Hecla
contract. Under these exacting con-
ditions, the Federal company decided
to suspend operations altogether in
what is called the east ore shoot of
the Morning, being the ground in
vOlVed in the litigation between the
Star and Federal, according to
statement made this morning by
Frederick Burbidge, general manager
of the Federal.
Few men will be affected ny the
suspension, Mr.. Burbidge said, as
places will be found in other parts OF
the mine for the men who have been
working in the ground in controversy.
The employees of the mill will Of
course be laid off, but it is hoped tina,
other development in the mine win
Justify starting the mill again before
long. The mill has a capacity of over
500 tons. The main mill at the mine
which has capacity of over 1900 tons,
is running to the limit, and the only
difficulty the company has is in get
ting cars and this is expected to be
remedied now that the Northern Pa
cfic is handling it's business from the
west.
The Federal company has invited
bids to sink the main shaft 200 feet.
The shaft is now 1000 feet below the
main working level.

Contract Let to Extend Tunnel No.
to the Vein.

j. l.. Martin, of Mullan, manager of
the Carney Copper company, was in
the city Monday Carney Copper has
been idle during most of the winter,
but recently a contract was awarded
to extend No. 3 tunnel to the vein.
This work is now in progress and will
continue without interruption until
the vein is. reached. At the point of
intersection the crosscut will have at
tanned a depth of between 300 and
400 feet and it Is expected that the
vein will show commercial ore, al
though it will be necessary to drift
probably 100 feet to get under the

MUCH NEEDED LOCAL
PASSENGER SERVICE.

Next Monday morning. April 2, the
special motor service between Wallace
and Enaville will be inaugurated by
the O.-W r. & n. company. The car
that will be placed in service here is
larger than the one described in the
first announcement of the service. 1t
will have accommodation for rs pass
engers and a baggage compartment
also. However, it is not the purpose
to handle baggage on this car, but the
additional space will be available for
the storage of personal effects and
also for standing room when the car
is crowded. This new departure on
the part of the O.-W. r. & n is the
result of recommendation from w.
r. Skey, district freight and passen-
ger agent, who after becoming familiar
district was entitled to improved pass
enger service. That the action of the
company in complying with his recon-
r,endaton is duly appreciated will up-
doubtedly be fully demonstrated by
the liberal patronage the new service
will receive. There is a large popula-
ton to be served and it is safe to
predict that the frequent trains will
develop business that is not now ap-
