WKXT OYER THE BLUFF.
(By Alden Proctor.)
On Frldny, June 4th, at 8 o'clock,
15 boys loft Mr. Tubbs' house for a
hike up to the forks of McKay creek.
We ate dinner about seven miles out
of town In a little clump of trees
along the road. At about 4:30 o'clock
we arrived at Spring Hollow and as
we were not tired we hiked over the
hill to where the road branches for
Pilot Rock. After we had rested for
about three quarters of an hour we
had a much needed swim.
The car which carried the grub
and Mrs. Tubbs arrived where we
were about 7 o'clock We did not put
up our tents that night but slept In
the open. At about 12:30 an Indian
came around and woke up most of
the camp. At 2:30 we were awaken
ed by loud shouts of laughter and
Shell was up and around playing pool
with our toes us he expressed It.
We got' up and had breakfast and
were at our permanent camping place
at The forkB by 8 o'clock. When we
got to our camp we put up the tents,
then most of us went swimming and
loafed the rest of the day.
On Sunday we got up at about 7
o'clock, went swimming and then had
Sunday school at about 10 o'clock.
After dinner we read stories for a
little while and then went up to the
corrals and watched bucking horses
which the Indians were riding.
After we had watched the bucking
horses for a while we went swimming
and as It was pretty late by that time
got supper and went to bed. We did
not go to sleep for a long time and
Mr Tubbs threatened to come out
with a club and put us to sleep.
On Monday we got up at 6 o'clock
and had flapjacks for breakfast.
Hlght after breakfast two boys went
fishing and one got 34 trout and the
other 15. When they got to camp we
all turned In for a swim. Before din

VILLA WANTS TO MEET
WISHES OF PRES. WILSON
MEXICAN GENERAL MAKES OF

WASHINGTON, June 15 The
Tnlted States was formally, notified
estcrday by General Villa on behalf
of the Mexican convention forces, that
he had telegraphed General Carranza
urging a conference for the restoration
of peace and government in Mexico.
This step Is the first tangible de
velopment resulting from President
Wilson's recent warning to Mexican
factions that unless they came to an
agreement soon, some other means
would be employed by the United
States to relieve the suffering popu
lation from further devastations of
the military element.
On General Carranza's reply de
pends the next move In the situation
The announcement that General
Villa had Initiated a movement for
peace was received with satisfaction in
Washington. Enrique C. Llorente,
Washington representative of the
Vllla-Zapata coalition, called on Sec
retary Lansing with a copy of Villa's
telegram to Carranza and a long note
from General Villa replying to Presi
dent Wilson's recent pronouncement
of policy. The note referred appre
ciatively to the president's efforts nnd
outlined the purposes of the Vllla
Zapata leaders to bring about a re
conciliation with the Carranzlstas.

His talks are right from the line and

what Is the matter with the town.
Because of this he has been dubbed
the "Town Doctor."
Ho takes the town's measure, feels
Its pulse, diagnoses the case and pre
scribes a remedy. He Invariably helps
the city and becomes the ardent
friend of the merchant. He talks
about the things the folks before him
have to think about every day: their
streets, alleys, parks, light and wa
ter systems, playgrounds, schools,
churches, plans for trade extension
nnd hundreds of other kindred topics.

I1EIIL1N, June 15. The Lokal An
zelg'er prints a noteworthy article on
German-American relations by Its
general director, Eugene Zimmerman.
"President Wilson," says Herr Zim
merman, "desires nothing more and
nothing less than an understanding
between Germany ad Egland concern
Ig the forms of maritime warfare,
which, at the same time, wm Insure
the safety of American passengers.
The task Is not light, considering the
development of naval war, but It can
be solved, If all Interests display good
will."
A new form might be given to na
val warfare, Herr Zimmerman con
tinues, on the basis that passengers
en ships with special marks of Iden
tification nnd sailing under the gov
ernment guarantee that they are un
armed, should receive proper consid
eration at the hands of submarine
commanders. The compromise must
also Involve the withdrawal of the
British admiralty's instructions to
merchantmen to attack and ram sub
marines on sight.
