Mexican Music Is

The Mexican Tipica orchestra

season that is fast waning. Tipica
is an old institution travelling In q

The characteristic charro, or gen
tlemen's riding costume, which is
worn by the members of the Mexi-
can Tipica orchestra is as old and
famous in Mexico as the Tiplca 1t.
self Originating as the Sunday
dress of the Mexican vaqueros or
cowboys of the plains country, it
has become as much the formal wear
for riding among the Mexican gen.
tlemen horsemen as the boots, white
riding breeches, black coat and derby
in the United States. Sunday morn
ing it may be seen in all of it's
brilliant colors worn by the horse
men who are riding along the his
toric Paseo de la Reforma or through
the bosque of Chapultepec.
Tight fitting trousers with GOLD
or silver braid down the legs, bolero
jacket embroidered in gold or sill
yer, vest even more embroidered,
flowing red windsor tie and a high
crowne dhat with gold and silver
ornament complete the costume.
Often silver coins of the smaller
denominations of Mexican coinage
are used to ornament the trouser
legs and for bottoms on the jacket
instead of gold and silver braid
and the hat is often SO heavy it ts
almost impossible to wear it because
of the solid silver ornaments. In
summer the finely woven straw hat
is worn and in winter the gray or
fawn colored felt hat is worn with
the costume and a brilliant zarape.
or blanket is worn over the right
shoulder to serve as an overcoat if
the horseback ride is into the high

rainy season and for blanket at
night should the rider find himself
forced to sleep in the open at night.

DOUGLAS DENIES.
SEEKS TO RUN.
HIGHW'Y AFFAIRS.

DOUGLAS .DENITS-S6 SO SO 36 So
JEROME, Feb. %. Up - Denying
that he has ever sought to direct the
affairs of the state highway depart
ment, James S. Douglas president of
the United Verde Mining company, to-
day issued lengthy statement in
answer to charges and allegations
made by w. c. Lefebvre, state engi-
neer, in a letter to Governor Hunt
yesterday
while 1 have believed the high
way department was extravagant and
was paying more attention to build
ing political fences than building
roads, / had no idea that conditions
were as bad as irrefutable evidence
of the legislative investigators re-
vealed," Douglas said, after having
expressed satisfaction with the per-
/ sonnel of the joint committee that
was selected to investigate expendi-
ture for road work. His statement
continues:
when we read of enough money
thrown to the political winds in a
campaign and the proof of this
seems positive-to pave a highway
from one end of the state to the
other, money from which there was
no return whatever, except in pri-
mary and general election results, it
makes us wonder if Fall and Do
heny were pikers.
81 think the state highway depart
ment is sorely in need of someone to
direct it, and the need is now. H.
"The state engineer says l am op-
posed to a bond issue for roads. I
certainly am, and especially so when
the need does not exist, and if we
required a bond issue now, I cannot
understand how any intelligent Ari-
conan would want to turn $4,000, 900
over to the present department to
squander."

! to attend this meeting at which the
rlans for the project and the re-
quirements that must be met will
be thoroughly explained and dis

+ J. P. Sexton, representing the Edi-
! son company at the meeting, said
/ that he could assure the committee
that his company would be able TO
deliver the power at price of two
cents. He pointed out that this
project at the present time is the
greatest thing for Douglas, Bisbec
and this part of the state that could
possibly be imagined and that the
future of the entire district depends
en- the development of the agr1-
cultural possibilities.
! T. j. Leeson, of McNeal, who has
been a resident there for IL years
and who is thoroughly acquainted
/ with the district, assured the rest
/ of the committee that the farmers
would be more than willing to en-"
ter the proposed project if the agree
ment meets their approval. Lesson
4 said that he could see no reason
/ why the agreement could not be
| drawn in such a way as to satisfy
the land owners entirely.
! The question of legality of such
! a district was discussed and law
hooks which have been studied by
the committee were brought out.
The committee decided that there
were as far as they could tell no
legal obstacles to the forming of this

/ make a trip to other projects in the
state that are already working and
/ that pay a much higher rate for
their electricity than that offered
| by the Edison company for this prof.
| ect.
/ 1t is to be distinctly understood
/ that at the present time electricity
cannot be purchased in the Sulphur
| Springs valley for two cents and
1 that the proposition of the Edison
company cannot and will not go into
effect until the power district is
! bonded, the bonds sold and the nee
essary lines built to carry the power
The Edison company does not pro
| pose to deliver power Immediately
/ as there is NO possible means for
such delivery and cannot be until
power lines are built at which time
according to EGr. Sexton they will
deliver the power for two cents
