INTERVENTION 13 CONSIDERED
Mexico May Join United Statei in Rul
ing Nicaragua.
Washington, Dec. lS.-One of the
projects for the solution of the Nicara
guan situation that has been strongly
urged upon the state department is the
establishment of a protectorate, either
singly by the United States, or jointly
with Mexico.
This may be regarded as necessary
in the event that the insurgents fail to
displace Zelaya by their own efforts,
and it may follow an insurgent triumph
that would leave the country without
responsible leaders. ...
It is said precedent for such action
could be found in the cases of Santo
Domingo and Cuba. In the first in
stance large sums of money, due to
American citizens, could not be col

Commission Prepares Shipping Contract

Salem After investigations and de
liberations that have extended back
for a period of about 12 months, the
railroad commission issued an order re
quiring the railroad companies operat
ing in Oregon to adopt a unuorm con
tract for shipping livestock. A com
plete contract has been prepared by
the railroad commission, which the
railroad will hereafter be required to
use, and which the commission contends
is much more fair and reasonable than
the ones now used.
The commission has found that both
the railroad companies and the ship

have given the commission every as

Andrews In the Wild Horse valley,
north and south of Andrews, many
farms are successfully irrigated by
means of flowing wells. A. H. Hollis,
south of Andrews, has six or seven of
them on bis place, and there are many
others having similar and lesser num
bers. All the way south to Demo,
through the Pueblo and Trout creek
vallevs, these wells are found, and in
a short time there will be a great many
of them drilled and put to good use in
a general irrigation system.

the favorable climatic conditions, the
possibilities for fruit and vegetable
production under a generous water
supply are beyond present calculation.

Salem The fact that road districts
near corporate limits have roads that
are used extensively by people in out
lying districts, while those same out
lying districts have roads which are
never used by the people who reside
in the close vicinity of corporate lim
its, is the bone of contention which
called a laree delegation to the city to
day to appear before the county court
in behalf of the government road,
which was constructed here a few years
ago by the department of agriculture.
The delegation contended that team
sters from the mountain timber dis
tricts, carrying heavy loads of wood,
had materially injured the experimental
road of the government north of Salem,
and that repairs are now necessary be
cause of extraordinary usage.
The county court is in a quandary
as to how to settle the difficulty, but
has offered the district a Tock-crusher
and sufficient help to operate it bo that
the government road may be placed
back in good condition.
