Mexico City, Sept. 3.-Governmeht
authorities have discovered that, in
a recent brush with bandits at the
desert of the Lions, near this CITY,

Orlando found the Highlanders easy
picking and easily defeated them via
the whitewash route, to O.. 1t was
simply case Of too much Humphries
and not enough Surrency.
The ex-Cub was in superb form;
his control was perfect and, combined
with clever pitching. he had the locals
eating out of his hand. Only twenty
two batters faced the big fellow in
seven innings and for a time things
looked as though he would equal
Halls record by letting the locals
down without hit.
Thrasher broke the ice In the eighth
with a clean single and was followed
by Smith and Morris with two more
| in the same place but without results
as some very poor base running
spoiled all chances Of scoring and put
an end to what might have been a
winning rally. Riva connected with
one of Humphries hooks in the ninth
for a single, making a total of four
hits during the game. Surrency was
hit hard and the little fellow fielded
his position very poorly and his own
fielding at several occasions was re-
sronsible for being In bad hole. He
also pulled a nice boner when. two
men down, he played for third In
stead Of playing for the batter, goins
to first. Love featured with some
splendid fielding excepting twelve
: chances without bobble and in tht
, sixth when Moore tripled with non'
down, managed to make the big fel
log hug the bag until he had retired
three men in order. Moore carried
, away the batting honor of the day
. registering 4 hits out Of times a
bat.

tensive Improvements In Laws. .
Entire Nonpartisan League Program
Likely to- be Enacted-Btls Pro-
vidino for Changes Pending.

The North Dakota legislature Is los
ing no time in getting started the re.
form O which a majority Of its
members, elected with the endorse
ment of the National Nonpartisan
league, have been pledged to carry out.
Bills providing for these reforms are
already before both houses. These
measures include the erection Of a
terminal elevator and other marketing
facilities, by the state. This was made
possible by one of the constitutional
amendments, all of which received a
majority vote at the recent election.
With a majority of the law makers
those who have been elected with the
Endorsement Of the Nonpartisan league,
1t is indicated that the legislature will
stand as a body for enactment of all
the laws provided for in the program
and platform upon which these men
were elected. The solidarity Of the
body is n of the features of the legis-
lature.
The development of the Ignite, r.
sources of the state will be one of
the first measures to pass. It has
been UNANIMOUSLY true for years that
the mining of Ignite coal of North
Dakota has been hampered by the rail-
roads, which preferred to see the mid
die west use Pennsylvania and Illinois
coal which the railroads would haul
for thousands of miles and thereby
derive the benefits of freight rates.
The railroads urged the people to wait
until all Pennsylvania coal was used,
before using Ignite, permitting them
to then haul Ignite from North Dakota
to Pennsylvania.
Under the proposed plan, the state
school lands, which are the best lig-
mite fields in the state, will be thrown
open to mining. It Is believed that
four-ffths OF the Ignite coal ii the
F1ickertai state can be mined by
steam shovels, from open pits. AFFORD
Ing cheap fuel to the entire middle
west.
It Is likely that the state viii APP
point ar Industrial commission, to
operate one or more mines, and that
another commission will be appointed
to demonstrate the uses Of ignite,
which are slightly different from other
grades Of coal.
