COUNTY OFFICIAL TAPER THE SITUATION IN MEXICO Carranza In his latest note has stated the "Mexican government is willing to consider in a quick and practicable way remedies which should be applied to the pres ent situation." Good. This might mean that General Pershing's com mand may leave Mexico in peace and safety. As a letter writer, the be whlskered Mexican can show our Washington diplomats cards and spades, and as a pacifist, William Jennings Bryan has still something to learn. But while Carranza is speaking of the future, let us con sider something of the past. It is true that the American soldiers cap tured in the Carrizal net of treachery have been returned to their native soil, and It Is also true that Carranza has promised to use all means at his disposal to stop the outrages against and butchery of Americans, but we should remember: The American soldiers killed at Carrizal are still dead; the American soldiers treacherously surprised and slaughtered at Columbus, N. M., are still dead and their blood stains the very soil over which our flag floats. And the hundreds of Amer icans, men, women and babes, ruth lessly slaughtered during the past few years are still dead. Although Carranza has promised to restore or der in Mexico, wo might take this with a grain of salt. Carranza can not speak for the Mexican govern ment, because there is no govern ment. It is simply the word of one bandit chief opposed to another ban dit. He cannot speak for the people of Mexico, for more than one-half are Indians with murder In their hearts and plllago and plunder as their reward. He cannot speak for the other half, because they are only united with him in one particular, . and that is a hatred and hostility towards tho Americans. There will never be peace in Mexico until the United States government com pels that peace. The Taft adminis tration is partly responsible for the present state of affairs, but even with the Taft examplo before him, Wilson has made matters worse. If our sol diers stay in Mexico, they run a chance of being killed, and if they patrol the border some 3tray Mexi can bullet is liable to come their way. There will never be peace In Mexico until a firmer hand than Wil son's outlines the policy of this gov ernment and then stays with It. In the meantime it would be good judgment to withdraw our soldier boys while it can be done with some degree of safety; that is, if it is the intention of the government to send them no further than their present position. Olll KOAI) MONEY. There is a persistent rumor, and apparently It Is woll founded, that there Is considerable friction among tho sevorul heads of various lines cf our road work in this road (No. 2) district. Wo want good roads, we need good roads, but the tax payer wants to see his dollar ex pended in a manner which assures h'm that he is getting an even 100 cents on the dollar. When ono fac tion throws obstacles in the way of another faction with the purpose of delaying tho work, the taxpayer Is like tho bone the dogs are pulling cn. The county court should Investi gate this matter, and If there is any foundation for the rumor, it Is their duty to mako any change necessary in order that the money appropri ated for the several roads shall he j well spent and give to tho taxpayer full value. AVERSION TO BI.IE. According to an eminent French scientist, flies show a mnrked aver sion to things that are blue. This fact was first discovered by a French farmer, who kept a number of cows, distributed in several sheds. The In terior of one of these sheds had. purely by accident, been colored blue. The other stables had white Interiors. The farmer soon noticed ! that, while the cows in the sheds with white walls were driven to the noint of frenzy by files, the cattle ! housed in the shed with the blue interior were not bothered. The lit tle pests hovered outside this shod; only a stray one, whose sense of ccl oi was perhaps not strongly devel oped, every now and again would be tempted to enter. The farmer told of his observation, and soon other farmers took to painting their sheds blue, with gratifying results. Now It Is a general custom among the cat tle owners in France to tint the in teriors of their sheds with a solu lion made by mixing ten pounds ot slacked lime, with twenty gallons of water, and then adding ono pound of ultramarine. The sheds are tint ed with this solution twice during the summer months, with the result that the cattle are pretty generally free from annoyance. It might be a good plan for owners of horses and cattle In this country to experi ment with the use of blue about their stables and outbuildings. Noth ing should be neglected which might add fo the comfort of dumb beasts during the hot summer months. Eagle Magazine. i ASTORIA'S VICTORY The interstat3 commerce commis sion has overruled every objection made and decided that Astoria shall have parity rates with Portland, Se attle, Tacoma and other seaports, This Is a great victory for Astoria, one to which she Is justly entitled. The fact that she now has an even chance with other cities, none of which are so favorably located, will not be overlooked by her energetic merchants, and Astoria will grow and prosper as never before. While Astoria people for years have worked hard to secure these rates, and while many of her citizens havo given their time and money to aid the work there was one outside institution which was of great aid to Astoria, and Astoria should never forgot what the Evening Telegram of Portland accomplished for tliem. The Tele gram was on the job all the time Bhoulder to shoulder with Astoria, and tho decision of the commission Is an Astoria-Telegram victory. The Mist congratulates them both. A person who has nevor been in the Polar regions can probably have no idea of what cold really Is; but, by reading the terrible exp3rlence of Arctic travelers, some notion can bo formed of the extreme cold that prevails there. When wo have the temperature down to zero out- of-doors, we think it bitterly cold. Think, then, of living where the thermometer goes down to 33 de grees below zero In the house, in spite of the stove! Of course, in such a case, the fur garments are piled on until a man looks like a great bundle of skins. OLDEST LIVING THING Towering a giant among giants, the oldest living thing that connects the present with the dim past, ma jestic in its mien, its dignity and Its world-old experience, tho "General Sherman Tree" is the patriarch of the Sequoia national park of Cali fornia. It was already 2,000 years old when Christ Svas born. In the age when the known world was rock ing In the throes of the Trojan wars and tho time that history tells us marked the exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt, this greatest of sequoia gigantea was a flourishing sapling of some 20 or 30 feet in height and truly under the especial care of the Creator, who held It safe from tho lightnings of his wrath as he did from tho attacks of earthly enemies. Tho "General Sherman" was dis covered In 1879 by James Wolverton, a hunter, and named by him in honor of Gen. William T. Sherman. It tow ers 279.9 feet into the Bky; its baBe circumference is 102.8 feet; its greatest diameter is 36. 5 feet, and it has developed a diameter of 17.7 feet at a point 100 feet above tho ground. National Geographic Magazine. REWARDING LOYALTY The Standard Oil Company has voluntarily increased the wages of all employes receiving less than $3,000 per year 10 per cent. It is stated that the increased cost of liv ing was the immcdiato motive for this action which tho prosperity of the company mado possible. The raise affected 7,093 employes, quite a ltltle army of workers. Tho board of directors of the company has also decided that those of its employes who have enlisted for serv.lco on the Mexican border with the National Guard shall suffer no Iocs so far as their relations with tho company are concerned. During their absonco they will be on full pay and their positions held open for thera. INniKTRIAI. REVIEW ?
