INVITE HARDING TOEX'TEND TRIP
 TO MEXICO C|TY
IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIreI

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Nov. l6.-An earnest invitation from Mexican off cials to go into Mexico during his voyage in southern waters has been taken under advisement by President elect Harding.
 Should he accept, his visit probably will be limited to short stop at Vera. Cruz on his way from New Orleans to the canal zone. He has been asked to go to Mexico City, but 1t is under stood to consider so extensive a trip impossible because of engagements elsewhere.
 The invitation was brought to Brownsville by Elias L. Torres. who said that in urging its acceptance he spoke both for the Mexican foreign of- flee and for General Obregon, Mexican president-elect.' In an hours confer ence with the senator, who is spending here the last day of his Texas vaca- | tion, Mir. Torres made a special plea that the senator be present at Obre- gon's inauguration in the Mexican cap ital on Nov. 30.
 MT. Harding is reported by his friends as weighing carefully two con- alterations before making a decision. It is declared that he is anxious to | take every step to cement relations be- tween the two republics but on the other hand he is determined to do nothing that might be construed as an international impropriety.
 l Aside from the two forces remains | the question whether the sailing ar engagements already made by the presi- dent-elect can be so modified as to | permit a call on the Mexican coast He leaves here tomorrow at 10 a. m and will take ship at New Orleans l Thursday for the canal zone on a ves- sel which even under present plans is to delay it's sailing in order to accom- modate him.
 Senator A. B. Fall of New Mexico who was chairman of the senate sub committee that investigated Mexican affairs, came to Brownsville with MT Torres and was present at the confer ence between the Mexican envoy and Mir Harding. Afterward neither MT Torres nor MT. Harding would make any comment, but MT. Fall said the talk had been a most friendly one ant
 that it was his understanding that ar
 effort would be made to change tht
 sailing schedule so as to permit
 short stop at Vera Cruz or some othel
 Mexican port It was said, however
 that should a change be made 1t woult
 not shorten Mir Harding's stay in Nev Orleans nor interfere with his address Thursday at luncheon there
 In addition to giving his attention to the Mexican invitation, Senate Harding devoted some time to tn
 New orleans speech and to core
 spondence today and received a forma 1 call of courtesy from Governo Hobby. who came here on a special l.

TRACT CONTROVERSY
ANOTHER HEARING ON MARCH |
Representatives Think Outcome win
Be Favorable Locally

Word was received here on Wednes-
day as to the result of the hearing
held at Washington, ID. c.. on last
Tuesday in regard to the forestry de-
partment decision as to the sale of
the Callahan tract of timber. r. H.
Mccoy, vice president and general
manager of the Bonners Ferry Lum-
Der Company, received a telegram
from his son, Lawrence Mccoy, who
had attended the hearing in the inter
ests of the lumber company, in which
he stated that the sale of the timber
In controversy would be held up pend
ing an investigation by forestry de-
partment official by the name of Stew
art; that another hearing would be
held at Missoula on March l.. r. H.
Elder, of Coeur Alene, sent to at
tend the hearing in the interests of the
commercial clubs of Bonners Ferry.
Standpoint, Priest River, Newport and
Spokane, wired the commercial club
here telling of the outcome of the con-
ference. Optimism over the outcome
of the controversy was apparent in the
two kilograms. The executive com
-tAANNNt VI NAC tNOOlCldl dllty OOlll-
mercial Club has not yet decided as
TO whether it is necessary to send a
representative to the Missoula hear
ing.
1t seems now that the forestry de-
partment has received a storm of pro-
tests from all over the country in re-
gard to its action in resembling the
sale of the Callahan tract of timber to
the Bonners Ferry Lumber Company
and the department officials no longer
endeavor to maintain that the action
was taken for the benefit of Western
Montana interests but to make more
feasible the logging of timber in the
Yakt district. 1t is believed by those
that have been over the Yakt district
and who understand logging that it
is absurd to set out that the establish
ment of mill at Troy, Mont, would
help the sale of government timber in
the Yakt district as this timber would
have to be logged on the Yakt river
and would have to be taken out of the
Kootenai river far below Troy and re-
turned there by rail which would
make it an expensive proposition.

SAYS MONEY
SQUANDERED

Washington, Feb. 21 Especial cor
respondence) )-Congressman Fred A.
Britten of Illinois, member of the
house naval committee, charges that
while the southern democrats were
in control of congress they expended
about S240000,O00 in the vicinit,a Of
Norfolk, Virginia, on war activities
for the army and navy. Much of
that huge sum was "ruthlessly
squandered," according to Mr.. Brit
ten, with no attention being pail to
the treasury or the sources from
which the money must eventually be
drawn. Great army camps, naval
training stations and naval operating
bases were established near Norfolk
at points where it was evident from
the start that sufficient water sup
ply could not be obtained for their
use. Directly north of the city a
big army base is obtaining its fresh
water supply from barges and tank
ers towed by tugs a distance of about
fifteen miles across Hampton Roads.
Mr.. Britten is also informed that the
naval training station, hospital, sub
marine base, aviation base, and a
supply station containing about $751;
100000 worth of all sorts of naval
stores, have been practically depleted
of their personnel for the reason
that the government cannot obtain
sufficient water to accommodate even
the scanty needs of the few men who
remain. About $6,0O0,000, according
to Mr. Britten, has been spent on
the construction of a naval training
station, which will, in the opinion
of military experts, never be used
until we have another war. Congress
is now asked to appropriate $450,000
for the relief of land owners whose
rights were ruthlessly ovel1idden by
the navy department when the site
for the station was acquired. 1t is
understood that the naval committee
soon will visit Norfolk to determine
whether the greater part of the
$240,000,000 projects shall be scrap
ped or allowed to remain with con-
tinued appropriations for "mainten-
ance."

County Farm Bureau In Session

Members of the Boundary County
Farm Bureau executive committee
were in session again on Saturday af-
ternoon and held conference with
Mr.. Maxwell, representative of the Gil
ant Powder Company, of San Francis
co. He make propositions to the bur
eau to furnish stumping powder in
carload lots and gave prices on various
grades of powder Mr.. Maxwell is an
expert in the handling of all kinds of
powder and was able to give great
deal of information to the members of
the Farm Bureau. No definite action
was taken in regard to his propositions
as the bureau desires to get complete
information soon in regard to what
amount of powder the farmers of the
county will desire to purchase through
the organization.
The matter of rodent control was al
so talked and County Agent Oman will
endeavor to get the poisons needed
from the university at Moscow. II
was also deemed advisable to try to
get horticulturist to come to this dis
trict to give instruction in pruning and
spraying of fruit trees.

POLITICAL NEWS
FROM BOISE

Boise, Idaho, Feb. 21.-Politics has
experienced a marked revival during
the past few days in this city and
the activities here are reflected in
increased political interests all over
the state.
During the recent meeting of re-
publicans here Governor Gooding was
the center of considerable attention
and the wonderful ovation given him
at the Lincoln Day banquet served to
indicate that his position as one of
the prominent leaders of the party
had in no wise been endangered but
has been materially strengthened by
virtue of the contest he has waged
against radicalism in this state and
of the manner in which he proved
his charges in court in the recent
trial of the libel suit brought against
him by Ray McKaig, the Non-parti-
son leader.
Quite emphatic also was the dem
onstration when Col. L. V. Patch
was presented. The Colonel has only
recently returned from France and
has been urged to enter the politi-
cal field actively by many people. The
American Legion is strongly behind
him and he has considerable other
support.
1t is known that while he has been
urged to become a candidate for the
United States senate, he prefers to
be candidate for governor feeling
that the public generally would net
look with favor upon him jumping
at once from the ranks to the high.
est place. Moreover, the political
conditions seem to make it much cas-
ier for him as a candidate for COVER
nor than for senator in the opinion
of many political observers.

session can be given. Mr.. Leslie sold
his place on the north bench week
ago to Mr. Loomis, of Great Falls.
