CANNED MUSIC IN YUcATAH
Demand for American Talking Ma
chimes Is Brisk, Says Our Consul
at Progreso.

The talking machine Is as popular
In Yucatan as in the United States,
according to a report to the Depart
ment of Commerce from o. G.. Marsh,
United States consul at Progreso.
Small, cheap instruments cheer the In
dian hut, ordinary machines are found
In middle-class homes, and the most
elaborate cabinet styles grace the man.
sions Of the wealthy. Perhaps no
other modern invention has done more
to enliyen these homes. An enterpris-
Ing local dealer has popularized and
capitalized this Idea In a phrase: "How
happy Is the home that has its phono-
graph"
The American machine has monOpo-
lied the market. Old styles with
horn have had an extensive sale, but
cabinet designs are preferred by most
customers. A few portable instru-
ments have been sold.
Practically all orders have been
placed by importers direct with fac
tories on f~actory-price quotations, rail-
way and steamship freight and ma
rine insurance being attended to by
American agents of importers or by
freight forwarders at American ports.
The largest importer, and the one who
has done a large part of the local bust
ness, has purchased ON open credit.
Other firms have been, and will have
to be dealt with in accordance with
their financial standing and credit
rating. The most recent shipment, by
a manufacturer just entering the Yucca
tan market, was on a documents
against payment basis.
Almost all records sold in Yucatan
are of well-known American makes.
The most popular have been American
fox trots and Latin-American songs
and dance music. The principal i'm
porters have dealt with manufacturers
of records on the same basis as with
makers of monographs, but a consid-
cradle number of records enter in a
manner difficult to trace and are sold
at varying prices by small dealers.

SUIT AGAINST MINING
COMPANY FOR WAGES

Suit on six labor liens, totaling
about $500, have ben filed at Phoebe
in the Lincoln county district court
against the Lake Valley Mining com
pany, the plaintiffs being William
Renwick and five others, with Gflber:
F.. Boreman as their attorney.
The chief object of the suit it
appears is to undertake to make a
mortgage subject to labor liens. A
mortgage is held by the Goodman
Tidball Mercantile company. and the
question is whether it stands Sec
ondary to the claims of the men OF
otherwise. The mercantile company
is made a party defendant, as also is
J. J. Gubler, who has some financial
claims against the mining company.
The men are seeking to foreclose
the mining claims, machinery and
other assets of the company.
The White Pine-Linco!n county
line passes through one of the claims.
leaving half Of it in White Pine coun-
ty and the remainder of the proper
ty in Lincoln, according to the state
mentS Of the plaintiffs.

admitted that he was carrying their
heavy suitcase-though maybe due to
his Observation-Disclosures or the presence
of a quart inside. He lifted the suit
case to put it on the steel luggage rack
overhead. And he grunted that he
knew what he was doing when she
suggested a fear that the heavy suit
case might break down the rack. She
started to insist, but he snapped, cut

PLAN TO HARNESS vEsUVIUs
Italy Would Direct Flow Of Lava and
Utilize Heat of the Big
Volcano.

In the future great volcanoes can
tract no more attention than the pass
ing of a motor car, If plans now being
considered by scientists of Italy are
carried out.
After the gigantic accomplishments
Of the engineers in the World war such
a scheme does not sound impossible
and plans r being seriously consld-
cred to tunnel mountains known to be
dangerous In such a manner that a
sudden volcanic activity will only re-
suit in the gas and lava being carried
away from settled sections and val
liable property.
Especially are such plans being
worked out for Etna and Vesuvius,
the two most destructive volcanoes.
And with the plan goes another pro-
yidinE for Harvesting the heat for In
dustriaf purposes.
Premier Mussolini has been investi-
eating the plan and now, 1t Is said, no
obstacle remains except the expense.
1t is hoped that some way may be
found whereby Italy will be relieved
from dependence upon the outside
world for fuel and the power that fuel
produces.
II experimental boring is tried 1t
will probably be- on Etna, because that
volcano, being on an island, can do
less damage than Versuvius IL stirred
to unusual activity by mans efforts.
Cutting tunnels through the noun
tainside would be simple In It's earlier
stages, and would become complicated
only when the heat, on approach to
the eternal fires, became uncomfortable
to the workers. Explosives might do
the rest.

|SON OF FAMED STAGE
MAN DIES SUDDENLY

NJ Salisbury Gilmer, a o of the
late Jack G;lmer, who was one of the
famed stage firm of Gilmer & Sails
bury, operating stage coaches in the
early days Of White Pine and
throughout the west in the '70s, died
suddenly Thursday at Los Angeles
at the age of forty-eight.
The younger Gilmer was only a
child when his father was one of the
most active and noted men of his
region, as the date of his birth was
August 21, 1875, at Salt Lake. The
zenith of his fathers fame was from
1877 to 1880.
Deceased went to California from
the Utah city about & year and q
half ago. His aged mother was there
when he died, as were two Of his
brothers, J. T. and C. V. GiImer. A
third one, l.. J. Gilmer. and two sis
tiers reside at Salt Lake. The cause
of death was cerebral hemorrhaga.
Gilmer and Salisbury gained the
principal part of their fame through
the star route scandal, in which they
were charged by the government in
the latter '70s with operating mail
routes to mythical destinations in the
west, and pretending to run a daily
mail service in various places where
the actual service was only once,
twice or three times a week
White Pine county was the center
of the enter prise and every star route
in this vicinity was featured in the
investigation that afterwards was
held at Washington, with several
witnesses from here being present
and teSyifying. At that time the
nearest railway point was Eureka
and the nearest stage center for dis
tributiou of mail in tbs region was
with the numerous stages com-
ing through Hamilton and Robinson
canyon, where Ely now stands.

About the middle of January we
prepared a press article on cotton
growing giving in concise form
certain fundamental facts as to var
ieties, methods of fertilization, cult
walton, spacing and ETC., based on
the results of our experimental
work with cotton at Mcneil and
Poplarville since the advent of the
Boil Weevil. This article has ap-
peared recently members of the
county papers.
A few days later we attended the
meeting of the Southern Agricul-
tural Workers at Memphis and for
three days listened to many interest
ing discussions by the leading agri-
cultural workers on this cotton prob
lem. At the end of the discussions
the conclusions Of the body was
by special committee
of six men representing every
phase of agricultural work. 1t
was gratifying to US to note that
in no particular did the recommen-
dations IS set forth in the above
article referred to differ materially
from the conclusion of this commit; :
tee, except that we are not conInc-
ed as yet as to the r1ofitablness IF
poisoning against the weevil in South
Mississippi, though planning some
thorough work of this kind for the
coming year.
We give below the report of the
committee.
