A Wonderful Country
"Mexico is wonderful country.
It is a large country, about a quarter
the size of the United States, and is
very rich in natural resources. You
hear mostly about the oil of Mex
leo; but oil is only small frae-
ton of her wealth. The timber,
mineral and agricultural resources
far exceed anything that can ever
be developed in oil. We talk about
conditions in Europe, but forget
these tremendous opportunities at
our very door. The new attitude
of our government toward Mexico
should help business in this coun-
try, especially in the border states
Cities like New Orleans, San An
tonic, FL Paso, St. Louis and Kan
sas City should especially profit
The Pacific coast will always be
benefited by stable Mexico.
Inquiries About Securities
"Many investors in the United
States and Canada are interested in
Mexican securities. The great pub
lie utilities of Mexico are financed
from Montreal and Toronto. Ca
madam investors are also interest
ed in Mexican cotton mills. Invest
ors in the United States are inter
ested in mining projects, railroad!
and especially in Mexican oil. All OF
these properties should be benefit
ed by the United States recognition
of the Mexican government. No
only does this recognition hell
American investors directly but als(
indirectly, rs it encourages invest
ors in England and France who ar,
also largely interested in Mexico
Of course it will be some time be
fore Mexican trade will make any
impression on the Babsonchart
which now stands at 10 per cent be
low normal; but some day it will
and that impression then will b.
distinctly favorable.' -

BARTONS TOUR :
STATE AT COST
OF $40 I'm GAS
Very Enthusiastic Over
Performance, Economy
of Car

c. w. Barton and family have
returned to Ell Centre after a 5000
mile trip to MANY interesting places
in the state of California. The
trip was made in new Hudson
Coach and Mr.. Barton is enthusias-
tic in his praise Of the. performance
of his machine.
The Bartons drove up the coast
to San Francisco, thence on up the
coast to Eureka and Crescent City,
over the Siskiyou mountains to
Grants Pass, then back by the val
ley route to Marysville and Lincoln,
UP the Sierras to Lake Tahoe, over
the Sierras into Nevada, then back
over the Tioga Pass to Yosemite
Valley, then south again by Modes
to and Bakersfield, over the Ridge
Route to the San Fernando Valley
and home.
In all that trip, going over the
Coast Range several times and over
the high Sierras twice, climbing
some 80 per cent grades, the Hud-
son scored perfectly. 1t went
places where other cars were be-
ing pushed up the grades and was
never hot enough to boil. In the
whole trip the Hudson never miss
ed shot. 1t always had plenty
of reserve. power and whenever il
was desirable to go around anyone
on the road the Hudson went
around.
At small expense, Mr.. Barton
equipped the Coach so that it could
function as. Pullman berth and
wherever night overlook the party
that was where they staid until
morning and slept comfortably
without the bother Of erecting g
tent and making camp. The triI
was made at an expense Of about
$40 for gasoline (and oil. Gasoline
was as cheap as 13 cents and n,
high as 35 cents up in the remote
places of the high Sierras.
With a Hudson car, Mr.. Bartor
says there is no excuse of one re

ders of California. The Hudson viii

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass,
Sept. S.-Roger w. Babson today is
sued the following statement re-
garding conditions in Mexico.
"'The most interesting event Of
the week to business men and in
vestors is the announced attitude
of the administration relative to
Mexico. Secretary Hughes, who
went into the cabinet very much
prejudiced against Mexico, has been
gradually becoming more friendly.
In justice to Mr.. Hughes, however,
it should be said that conditions
have entirely changed and that he
has been large factor in the i'm
provement of relations.

majority of the most dangerous
crossings can be readily and econo-
mically separated. In some in
stances, both the railroad tracks
and the highways havo been graded
to meet on high level and in ex-
amples of this kind, one could be
raised a bit more and the other low
cred bit more, in order to eli
inmate the crossing ON the' same le-
vel.
1t is pointed out by. the Auto
club that practically every other
community in America, and parti-
cularly that of Northern California,
has already eliminated ten grade
crossings for every one that has
been eliminated 50 far in Southern
California!
Letters outlining club resolutions
are being sent to all public organi-
zations interested in grade cross
ing elimination. This part of the
state is living in prehistoric days
so far as this kind of safety mea-
sures are concerned.

REPAIRING CRACKS IN CAST
IRON

When q crack develops in cast
iron part which is not subjected to
any great pressure or vibration,
such as water jacket, intake mani
fold, etc, an effective repair can
be made in the following manner.
First, clean the edges of the crack
well with file and emery cloth,
taking care not to touch with the
fingers after cleaning. Then pro-
cure some sulphite of copper (blue-
stone) and dissolve it in water.
Painting the edges of the crack will
cause a film of copper to form. Re-
peat this operation several times
and then fill the crack with soft
solder, building it up somewhat high
er than the original surface. This
will make leak-proof repair
which will last Indefinitely.

There is recorded an excess OF

prospect early that the sun might
shine long. enough to change the

days is most unusual in the weather
bureau records.
Nineteen Of thesSO days Of Septem-

CAR LINE TO
OPERATE WITH
NO FRANCHISE
City Commission Accedes TO
State Boards Request to
Continue Street Car Line
IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED
Discussion of Street Lighting
Held - appropriation at
Present insufficient

The state street car line will con.
tinue to operate in Bismarck.
Mutterings of protest against the
continuance of the line failed TO ma.
ter.alize in protests to the city COM
mission, after announcement was
made that the franchise had expired
in September. The city commission,
in meeting last night, decided to &C.
cede to the request of the state board
OF administration and permit the car
line to continue to operate without
franchise pending action by the
legislature.
The state board of admini3t ration,
in letter to the commission which
was read at the meeting last night
said: I'VE are not in position at
the present time to ask Tor a new
franchise for the reason TINT we
have no funds whatsoesec available
to make any changes in the street
railway system that might be re-
quired by your honorable commits
sion. We will ask, however, that you
give US an extension of your fran
chise until such time as the ncxt
session of the legislature may make
final disposition of the street car
line"
The state has never paved between
the car line tracks on Fourth street
as agreed. The failure leaves the
street not only in an unsightly corr
dition but heavy rains wash consid-
cradle dirt down the street. There
also was some objection voiced to
continuation of the line by people
who believed the state would give
better and cheaper service to the
capital through use of a motor bus.
Members of the city commission,
taking the position that any adverse
action might be construed as dis
courtesy to the state, decided to ac-
cede to the request Of the state boara
of administration. One member re.
marked that the city commission
probably would save the state money
If it ordered the franchise cancelled
and the line discontinued.
The commission informally discuss
ed the street lighting situation. I'm
less change is made in the system
the appropriation for this year will
not be sufficient to pay for the
next year, and the cost will
run near $4,000, it was said. The
question is permitting only every
other White Way light to burn, using
smaller candle power or changing the
lights somewhat was discussed but
10 decision reached. The proposal
that the arms on the White Way
posts, which bear four small globes,
be cut off was voiced. 1t was said
this had been done in jamestown.
No definite action probably will be
taken until the return of Police and
Fire Commissioner Henzler, who is
out of the city.
No bids were received for building
n concrete coal bin at the detention
hospital.

MAN THOUGHT
MURDERED MAY
BE IDENTIFIED
Wealthy California Butcher
Believed Held by Police;
Tells Strange Story


Eureka, Calf, Oct. 2.-Alex A.
Kels, wealthy and heavily insured
Lodi, California butcher, who was
supposed to have been the victim of
a, sensational murder near Lodi, Sep
tember IL, is in Jail today, according
to the police. Only the arrival of
Sheriff w. H. Kicks of Stockton, is
awaited to make certain the identifi-
cation. ..
The prisoner says his name is Kels.
The man was arrested last night
as he apparently was attempting to
end his life. The muzzle Of mis- rifle
was in his mouth and he was at
tempting to discharge the gun with
his toes.
At the police station the prisoner
talked about his wanderings since
Sept IL, but was more reticent con-
corning the burning of a haystack
in which Kels' automobile was de-
stroyed and a man first believed to
be Kels was burned to death.
One version of his story to the po-
lice was that he and another man
whom he hired and whose name he
did not know were riding in his au-
tomobile. He said two other men at
tackled him and killed his companion.
Evidently the men intended to kill
him, he said, but when they discov-
cred they killed the other-man they
allowed him to pay them some money
and allowed him to go. He said he
Immediately left Lodi.
Another story credited to him said
he had been struck on the head while
In Lodi before the fire and that he
remembered nothing until he found
himself in Sacramento. He has been
registered at hotel here under the
name Of "Kronan," and purchased the
rife yesterday. He told police he
never would have been taken alive
If cartridge had not jammed.
Mrs. Kels, who has insisted that
the rumors that her husband was not
dead were false will not be told of
his arrest, relatives said, until the
birth Of her baby which is expected
in about five days. The fire in which
Kels was supposed to have lost his
life occurred in a field near Lodi,
Sept. IL. Persons attracted by
blazing haystack saw an automobile
driven rapidly out Of the field. Lat
er they discovered that another au-
tomobile containing a man was an
the fire. but the heat was so intense
they could not approech. Kels' lite
was insured for $4,000 with his wife
as the beneficiary, but special clauses
IN the policy wo"ld have increased
the amount paid her to 100000 in
case Kels met violent death.
