CRY OF millEXATIOII ACCOMPANIES CRISIS III IIORTIffl MEXICO Fabulous Wealth of Lower California Lures Many . Americans to Mine in the Southern Republic. By SIDNEY ESPEY. WASHINGTON, July 15. One of the remote possibilities of the Mex

ican situation Is conceded to be the annexation of that nation or some part of it. It has been suggested that we annex Mexico; that we annex the northern tier of states, Coahuila, Sonora and Chihuahua, and that we annex the peninsula of Lower California. This last consideration calls to mind the several previous attempts on the part of the United States to majie this long finger of land a part of the Union. Its mountains, fabulously rich in ores and precious stones and its waters teeming with pearls, Lower California has long been coveted by many nations, but it has been of the United States that Mexico has been most afraid. Mexico has long since adopted a vigilant attitude with a view to keeping the United States out of Lower California. Jackson Offers $5,000,000. The first recorded attempt of the United States to annex Lower California is found in the correspondence between President Andrew Jackson, Forsythe, his secretary of state, and Butler, American charge d'affairs at Mexico City. It was understood that President Jackson offered Mexico $5,000,000 for Lower California and was refused. In 1828 a small flllibustering party led by Sylvester Pattie, of Kentucky, entered Lower California. Some records declare they were merely hunters and trappers. At any rate nothing ever came of this first American invasion of Lower California. The first real American occupation of the peninsula was during the war with Mexico in 1847. Troops under Col. Stevenson occupied the territory around Todes Santos bay and Colonel H. S. Burton landed with an American force to LaPax. President Folk, in a message to congress, spoke of the annexation of Lower California as an assured fact and it was a surprise to nearly all concerned when the treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo restored Lower California. Walker's Invasion. The most picturesque American military invasion of the peninsula of Lower California, however, .was that led by Col. William Walker, the San Francisco filibustering editor. He led armed forces into the peninsula and seized it. He set up a government with himself as president and incidentally destroyed all the records of the peninsula at La Paz, by permitting his soldiers to use the paper on which they were printed to make cartridges. There was a deep intrigue back of the Walker expedition. Senator Jefferson Davis, afterwards head of the Confederacy and other senators from slave Btates gave Walker moral support, it was said. It was at the time when every slave vote in congress counted for much. The southern senators hoped Walker would make good his expedition, set up an independent state and then gracefully come into the union as a slave state. But Walker also hoped to take the Mexican state of Sonora and there he failed. His followers left him when he attempted to invade the deserts of Northern Mexico and he, with a small remnant of his force, finally surrendered to Col. Heinzelman and an American company near the border. Walker was tried and acquitted. The next attempt of Americans to gain the rugged peninsula was in 1859 when President Buchanan sent Mr. McClane as an envoy to Mexico to negotiate for the purchase of Lower California and about the same time General John C. Fremont attempted to get the United States to annex the peninsula. Mexico was so jealous of these attentions of the United States to a Mexican province that she invited the Rothchilds to undertake a colonization scheme on the peninsula. It was attempted but did not succeed in any degree. Lost-Gold beads. Return to Knollenberg's office. Reward. CARLOS, IND.

The McGuire team will also be recruited to some extent so that the team that will play against the Wayne Works will include some players from other teams.

The visitors will be met at the train in the morning with automobiles and will be shown around Richmond factories. They will be entertained at the Arlington hotel at dinner. Ticket Sale Good. There have been about three hundred tickets sold for the game, and it is anticipated by the committee that a thousand more will be sold before Sunday. Merchants are being canvassed for support, and everything is being pushed to make the affair a big success. Bailey and Basey will be the battery for the Wayne works team, and Hawekotte and Craycraft for the McGuires in the preliminary game. Plans were proposed for strengthening the Natco team.

FRESHENING III FALL GIVES BEST RESULTS By Spring Calf Is Large Enough to Feed on Good Pasturage. Because the cow must be fed In winter as well as other seasons whether she he producing milk or not, is the best reason why the cow should fresh

en in the fall and milk through the winter until the following summer, when she may be turned on the pas ture and kept without expense to the owner. There are other advantages in having the cow freshen in the fall; the calf must be fed for several months while young, and, if It is dropped in the fall, by spring time it will be old enough to live on good pasturage with a small amount of grain, and later with pasture only. The cows are not so apt to become infected from calving at this time of year as in the spring and summer when the weather is warm and the flies are so numerous. It has also been found by experiment that cows will produce more milk in a year when freshening in the fall of the year, the reason for this being that after the lactation period has advanced several months and the cow starts down in her milk flow spring comes and brings the grass when the cow will increase in her milk flow. On the other hand, if the cow freshens in the spring while the grass is green and plentiful,, she will give a good flow of milk until fall when grass is scarce, and her lactation period then being advanced, she will almost fall to a point in production that will not pay for her feed, unless she be a good cow and gets the right kind of feed in the i right way.
