 E0NE; RUl,E; ACT

DUBLIN, Oct 26 (by Associated
 Press.) .)-The appointment of Sir Ernest Clarke as a new under sec rotary in Ireland specially for the northeast area, is regarded here as showing the intention of the govern ment to proceed With it's Home Rule bill The essential feature of that bill is the provision of two parlia- ments in Ireland and so long as the Coalition government lasts it is expected to insist on preserving the separate treatment of Northeast Ulster Since it is contemplated to have parliament in working order in Belfast early next year, whatever the rest of Ireland does, it is obvi- Ously convenient to have during the interval an official administration which will lead up to the change.
 The plan of enrolling well dis posed citizens in Belfast to assist the authorities" which means the recognition in some form of the Ulster Unionist organization and it's volunteers, is looked at here from the same point of view. It is vigor- ously denounced by the Nationalists throughout Ireland as a yielding, by the government to Sir Edward Car son. In the view of the government it is merely an anticipation by few months of the powers which the Bel fast government will have when the Home Rule bill comes into operation. The belief is that the recognized existence of such a force would tend to check the riot ing of irresponsible people. Though the government decisions will be agreeable to Unionist Belfast they have dfsheartened southern Union ists who see that they point to parti- tion.
 The Irish Times says: "So long as it possible to assume that the appointment of an assistant under secretary for Northeast Ulster inn

A deal of importance was consum- mated this week when A. L. Powell purchased F. P Millers mining pro perty on Chitina creek, in the Nizina district. The property con- sists of the first and second tier benches adjoining No. creek claim on the right limit. Pete Miller's bungalow on Front street was also included in the transaction Pete Miller left this week on trip to the states.

plies the passage and enforcement or the Partition bill that appointment will be an obstacle in the path Of peace.'
 The same paper objects also to the recognition of the Ulster volunteers. It says:
 "The Ulster volunteers are well drilled and organized. Many of them are men or substance and education, accustomed to the exercise of large ree possibilities. Our fear is. hcN ever, that the official recognition of the northern volunteers or of any large number of them would com plete the unhappy marshalling of Ireland into two armed camps. If the northern forces are taken into the sevice of the crown, the republican armies will accept the challenge and the stage will be set for a tragedy of civil war, that provoked perhaps by some trivial incident, may drown the last hopes of Irish settlement in a sea of blood"

Ford Announces Immedi.

WHOLE OUTPUT AFFECTED
WAGES REMAIN UNCHANGED
New Price Schedule Affects Reduc.
ton of $3.50 on Sedans, $145 on
Coupes, $40 on Touring Cars, SOS
on Trucks and $75 on Fordsons.

Jitneys are the first article in
everyday use to be materially re-
dnced in price.
Henry Ford made the following
announcement at Detroit yester-
day:
Detroit, Mich, Sept. 22. Re-estab-
lishment of pre-War prices on all
products of the Ford Motor Co, ef-
fective immediately, was announc-
ed yesterday by Henry Ford. The
price reductions range from approx
imately IA per cent on motor trucks
to 81 per cent on small automobiles.
In announcing the decision of the
company, Mr.. Ford. in a formal
statement said:
Now is the time to call halt
on war methods, war prices, war
profiteering, and war greed. 1t may
be necessary for everybody to stand
a little sacrifice but it will be most
profitable after all, because the
sooner we get business of the coun-
try back to a pre-war condition,
the sooner progress, prosperity and
contcntment will occupy the atten-
tion of the people.
For he best interests of all, 1t
is time that n real practical effort
was made to bring the business Of
the country and the life of the coun-
try down to normal Inflated prices
always retard progress.
The announcement said the price
reductions We're made despite un-
filled orders for 146,065 vehicles.
There will be no reduction in the
wages at any of the Ford plants, it
was announced.
W. w. Hecketh0rn, of the H.-B.
Motor CO., who holds the local Ford
agency, had not been advised of the
cut in prices of Ford products when
he read Mr.. FOrd's announcement in
yesterday mornings paper and i'm
mediately called the Denver head
quarters by telephone for a con-
hour or so later.
Mr. Heckethorn states that the
-eductiOn in prices in accordance
with the above announcement will
he as follows: On Ford Sedans $3.50,
Coupes S145. Touring ears $l40,
Trucks $95. FOrdson tractors SIS.
What effect Mr.. Ford's action will
have on the prices of other automO-
bile manufacturers is a matter of
much interest and conjecture. Cen
eral opinion is that other manufac-
turers of moderate priced cars will
eventually follow Mr.. FordNs lead
with cut also.

BOUND TO HAVE FRANK
SMITH FOR ENGINEER
Democrats Slip His Name on Pri.
mary Ticket Without Knowl-
edge or Consent.

Despite the fact that Frank w.
Smith, the present county engineer
made no effort, and in fact, did not
want the office for the ensuing
year, he vase placed on the ticket
by the Democrats at the recent pri-
mary for that office without his
knowledge or consent.
Mr.. Smith was nominated and
elected by the Republicans two
years ago and has served efficiently
during the past two years. Frank
says he did not want the nomina-
tion on any ticket at this time, but
had he wanted the place would not
have gone outside his own party
to secure the nomination. He,
therefore, does not wish to appear
IN a false light in the matter by ac-
cepting the nomination by party
with which he has not affiliated in
politics heretofore and authorizes
this statement in explanation OF
his position.

Mr.. J. w. Inge, one of the leading
merchants of La Junta, were. qui-

nesday of last week, and arrived
here Tuesday.
The following day was'devoted to
the expiatiOn of the penalty OF pop

their number marries. Sergeant

Tuesday was in chains at their mer-

Both Sergeant and Mrs. Dicks are
popular in Holly, though the bride

Inge was serving as teacher of the
third grade of the Holly school last
year. Their engagement. had been
known to their friends for some
time though the date had not been
set.
The nuptial event was somewhat
hastened, perhaps, by the fact that
Miss Inge had planned to take a
domestic science course at Manhat-

cure a suitable boarding place
there. Mr.. Dicks was summoned and
