STATE TAX IS HIGH. Douglas county will be railed upon to give $261,573 as her state tax this year, according to information received by County Clerk E. H. Lenox this after- noon. This Is $28,673 higher than the county court estlmnted ln its budget, and consequently some county fund, very prob- ably the road fund, will be cut by that amount when it conies time to adopt the budget. This large Increase Is made neces- sary by the mlllage taxes voted by the people and which are exempt from the 6 per cent limitation. The state tax has been compiled but the details are not yet available as the printing Is not eompleled.

Immeuiaieiy aner the formal oath of office hail been administered by the chief Justice there burst forth throughout the cily roar of whistles, aulo sirens, ex plosives and ringing of bells which kept up a continuous roar fur an hour. The formal Inaugural function look place In the chamber of depuiiea In the national pulace In the presence of the diplomatic corps, high offi cials and invited guests. Thousands of people assembled outside the pal nee, to Join In celebrating this not able event. Wednesday forenoon President Obregon personally greeted an Im mense throng as they panned through the beautiful and historic reception rooms of the national pulace. Here the west const and U. S. delegations again shook hands with Ihe new president. Many witnessed the for mal Installation of the new cabinei, and this day's functions were attend ed by brilliantly an i rod army officers and foreign diplomats, many of whom were accompanied by their ladies.

Several eloquent and felicitous addresses were given by prominent men of Mexico and the United States, all of whom urged and predicted closer national, business and social relations between the peo ple of the two great North American republics. This function was followed by a visit to the famous castle of Chapul tepec. which is the official home of the president. Situated on the sum mit of commanding elevation, afford ing a wonderful view of the whole city and valley, the castle af Chapul tepec Is one of the most notuble ex ecutive mansions of the world. In Itself It retains in Us appointments and decorations of surpassing beauly, much of the Imp-rial splendor In stalled here during the brief reign of Emperor Maxlmllllan nearly 60 years ago. Wednesday night the American visitors were guests at a speciul per formance at the big Esperanza Inla theater. This Is a very large and beautiful theater and the occasion was of a brilliancy comporting with an Inaugural function. Thursday the American delegations visited the various snd historic points of Interest In the city and many went nut to th trrehistorlc ruins at San Juan Teotihuacan.

The ladles of the parly were entertained by Mrs. Obregon at four o clock tea In the castle and she Is said to have proven a very charming hostess. During the week a large percent age nf the Americans visited the famous "floating gardens" of Xorhl- milcd. This Is a place of surpassing Interest and seems almost a gem of the tropics, transplanted. It is r- lnted that when the Spnntards under Cortex Anally captured the Aztee capital one tribe of Its resolute de fenders retreated to the great swamps of Xochlmilco, from which they could not bo dislodged. There their descendants have continued to reside ever since. Now Xochlmilco Is the market gardon, as well as the perennial flower garden, for Mexico City. Numerous canals lined with natlvo flat bottomed bonts. between blinks dotted at frequent Intervals with thatched roofed cottage amid the soni I tropical foliage, present a most interesting scene. The Inaugural festivities continued throughout the week and over Sun day. Boundless hospitality was showered upon the visitors from the United States and every facility was afforded to make their stay pleasant and Interesting. Will peace be maintained In Mot. Ico under the Obregon administra tion? This Is the question heard on every hand. It may be said that the American visitors were strongly of the opinion that this much desired object will be attained. An appar ently strong cabinet has been select, ed end a continuance of the present peaceful conditions seems most prob able. More anon. Wants Embargo Against Imports Sir AsMAciMf rrvu. WASHINGTON.

All day Saturday the water in the river, fed by the down pour of the day, was rising rapidly and by 11 o'clock the water was higher than when the three had crossed to the north bank in the af ternoon. They started out, In the dark, for their homes on the south side of the river, and npon pushing their boat out Into the water found themselves ln the grip of a treacherous current which swept them rapidly down stream. Try as they might, they could make little headway and they were being carried rapidly down stream, when upon renching point below the gravel part their bont siruck a tree and turned over, tnrow Ing the three of Its passengers Into thn water.
