# MEXICAN CHIEF HAS KINGLY POWER ## Alec Loiselle Returns From the Southwest and Says It Is Remarkable What Governor of Lower California Can Do. "One man at least of all North American chiefs is a king by rights and in fact," declared Alec Loiselle, who has returned to his home in this city after a 60-day trip to California with the Mexicans. While in the southwest Mr. Loiselle spent some time in the big hotel at Mexicale and talked with many ranchers across the Mexican border in Lower California. Mr. Loiselle was interested in the former Butte crowds and horses he noticed at the Tia Juana meet and his visits there brought him into close contact with conditions existing in the Mexican state. "The governor makes enough out of the race meet alone to keep the municipality in fine shape," Mr. Loiselle said. "The soldiers fight for money, not for patriotism or politics, and the governor has money enough and power to defy all outside laws and rulers and makes him nothing short of a monarch. He has everything he wants and more, and there is no one to oppose his whatever he says is law." Mr. Loiselle was pleased to see the number of well-known Butte people, especially Butte, residents visiting in the southwest and while he enjoyed his trip immensely, seems delighted to be back in the mining metropolis again. --- **DEATH AND FUNERAL NOTICE.** Murphy—Hannah, wife of the late Francis J.

That Brazil is a country of great natural resources but no place for an American who wishes to make plenty of money, is the statement of H. R. Lalande, who is at the Butte from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The principal resource of Brazil seems to be coffee, said Mr. La Lande last night. "There are 20 varieties of coffee raised in the city of Rio Janeiro and from the basin of some of them I have drunk more coffee than I ever care to taste again, or any other country, except this. "The war has had a marked effect on Brazil. Nearly everything that is raised there is sold to be exported and the war has changed all values there. "There are immense deposits of iron there and it is rich in minerals as far as the topography of the country is concerned, but the things which are the raw products cannot be efficiently placed on the market in competition with those of other countries. Brazil can supply a high grade of iron, for example, but the freight from Brazil to a foreign market is much beyond a higher grade than that of the famous Mesaba region of Minnesota [?], possible within 900 miles of Rio de Janeiro, but the freight rates are so high that iron ore can be landed at a profit there is no coking coal there to smelt it with," Mr. Lalande continued. "I wouldn't advise an American to go to Brazil looking for clerical work. Everything is done by natives, in the Spanish language, especially the former. The Brazilian Indian is the native laborer and if he does not have anything better to do, he is perfectly happy," said the witness. "What they need there is scientific farming of their resources. They would rather exhaust the soil by frequent planting and then go farther away and plant new crops or crops in land that has not been touched for 20 years or 40 years. "Coffee is an exhausting crop and although much of the land in fallows has been utilized for coffee for any great length of time. "The great trouble is that the coffee land is too far away to make it profitable to get the manufactured product hauled to the meager railroad facilities there. If any of the material civilization they will be infused to the better methods of farming there. However, the United States are providing. "For purely personal reasons I should not advise anyone to go to Brazil looking for work, especially an American without knowing the country. The United States is the best place for a man seeking work." --- # SWIFT LOADING PLATFORM NUISANCE, COMPLAINT SAYS ## Property Owner on Arizona Street Alleges It Spoils Thoroughfare. That the loading platform at the Swift & Co. warehouse on Arizona street is a menace to public safety, prevents from using the east side of the street, and spoils the appearance of one of the handsome thoroughfares of Butte, is the charge Frank Steele filed in the district court yesterday through his attorney, Joseph Hirsh, as plaintiff against the company for loss of property valuation and permanent injunction restraining the platform. Steele recently was recently paid and but for the platform would at all periods of the day make all the Arizona street thoroughfare a traffic the plaintiff alleges.

The question to be debated is "Resolved, That the cities and counties of this population should own and control their public utilities, those utilities including water works, gas plants and electric lighting plants."
