Just a year,ago Victoriane Huerta took pos session of the Mexican government and in spite of murders, treacherv, oppres-! sion find the hundreds of other means he has taken to keep himself in power, each day has seen him slipping further downward on his bloody, self-constructed skids. A review of the 300 and more days that Huerta has been in power discloses that on no single day has ho been as strong as on the day liefore; there has not been a minute, in his career as dictator, that he has seen reasons for hoping that the eud of his grim road would bring him peace and success. Just a year ago the terrible 'deconna i-j,.!! -.r . ,, .. .... tragica" as the Mexicans call it "the bloody ten days" took place.

"Something is wrong," said Diaz, "These palace soldiers were to have surrendered." "What will you do nowt" asked an American friend of Diaz, who came hurrying to the spot. "I must get away. We must all fly," said Diaz. "Why not go to the arsenal I" sug- ge8ted the Ameriean- face lighted. Such a move had not occurred to him. At the arsenal were all the elements necessary for fighting. "To the arsenal," he cried out to his men. They dashed a mile through the Btreets on horseback and on foot. At the arsenal there were only a few sol diers. Four of them were killed by Diaz's men and within a few moments Diaz was safe behind the heavy walls the great stone building, surrounded by more ammunition, guns and cannon than he could use. Then began ten days of fighting, with shells flying ovor the city: with tens of thousands . . , , , . , ? , of citizens locked in their homes; with hundreds killed in the aide streets.

T IS Legislature Will Hear About Proposi tion to Join With State of Wash ington at Celilo Palls. IMMENSE AMOUNT OP HOBSE POWER CAN BE DEVELOPED Possible to Irrigate Vast Begion by Means of Electrical Pomps, Farm ers Would Get Off Easy. According to James B. Linn, of this city, the next legislature will be pre sented with some irrigation matters of very great importance to the state by I. N.. Day, who was a member of the delegation that went back to Washing ton recently to confer with the attorney-general in regard to the Southern-Pacific-Centrul ' Pacific merger. The important business is in the form of a plan whereby the state will be asked to join hands with the state of Washing ton in tailing over the Celilo Falls pow er project. , Mr. Day, declares Mr. Linn, is pro paring plans for the consideration of the two states which, if adopted, will mean that Oregon will be in a position to furnish its citizens 150,000 horse power, while Washington will have the same privilege. Mr. Day and others propose that the two states be bonded for $33,000,000 with which to. complete the power project. It is also planned to have the United States government per form its share of the work by going se curity for the bonds. , Means Great Things. With 150,000 horse power at hand, irrigation problems ia this state will be solved to a great extent, believes Mr. Linn. Ho states that the head officials of the government irrigation depart ment at Washington declare that it is utterly impossible to successfully fur nish the lalnd owners with water under a private or corporate irrigation system. They say that none of the projects con ducted by one party or a corporation have proven a success so far. , If ever completed, says Mr. Linn, there is no doubt but te project will be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, in the world. Thousands of farmers in the state will be aided in irrigating their lands by the use of the power at a very nominal cost. Mr. Linn believes that the project will do more for the Oregon agriculturists than all the pres ent irrigation projects put together, and inasmuch as the government has prac tically condemned private cooperative irrigation projects as failures, the state should got to work and harness Celilo Falls. The promoters of the government power plant proposition contend that by establishing such a plant the manu facturers will be encouraged to come to Oregon. On his trip east, Mr. Linn doclarcs that electric water power plants are in evidence every place where there is a Btrertm of any size, and tlio manufacturing plants along the stream are thick. With chenp power and an unlimited quantity of materials of all kinds, the smulll manufacturer would jump at the chance to locate in Oregon, and it would be but a very short time until tho state's pay roll would be boosted up in large figures, he believes.

PEOPLE WHO HAVE MONEY WILL HAVE THEIR WAY. Will Travel Around World If Necessary In Order to Cut Bonds Which Are Galling Them. BY CARLTON TEN EYCK. (Written for the United Press.) Now York, March 5. All that glit ters is not gold and by the same token much that has outward resemblance of benovolence is sometimes quite the con trary. The Empire state's rigid di vorce law, admitting of legal separa tions only on statutory grounds, at first glance appears to be" a far-sighted humanitarian provision to safe-gaurd the sacrcdness of matrimony, but is itt That is the question now agitytitiug the lawyers of Now York. j A camel may pass through the eye of a needle with mo.e ease than a New Yorker may obtain a divorce in his owu state without besmirching his family name and all his connections. But divorco is so easy elsowhere that New York's bar sinister is no dotor rent. It merely causes yoke-gfijled Oothamites to go to other places for freedom, and New York lawyers lose the fees. Where millionaires would pay thousands to their rogular solicit ors for a comfortable divorco at home, if such were possible, they go abroad and pay largor feos to stmnge lawyers. The New York restrictions do not re strict divorce, but they do carry New York divorce money into othe states and foreign countries. One State Cannot Curb It Divorce may be an evil. There may be too much of it That is a debat able question and this is not a debating medium. But it is patent to the most casual observer that one state cannot alone curb the divorce habit, so long as her Bister states make no such attempt. It is like Don Quixote tilting at wind mills for New York to fight divorce by having a drastically prohibitive dl vorce statute, while in other states one may obtain surcease from domesticity by alleging merely that his mate has cold feet which she puts in tho small of his back at night, or that one's hus band is temperamental, or that the lady smokes cigarettos in bed, thereby rain ing the risk on the fire insurance. All it takes to get around Father KnickoT bockor's logal complications to protect the home and fireside is a little money carfare and attorney's feos. And New York does not got the money. Take tho caso of the millionaire 'i secret divorce in France that eloctrifiod society folk when finally It leaked out It was known for months that tho puir wero at outs. Ma.rriod for 10 years and the parents of thrco children, thoy could no longer live together in har mony and agreod to Boparato. They divided their promrty equally and took up separate residence.

Determined to Suyarate. Did tho ugly divorce lnw of Now Vork restrain thorn t It did not, be cause thoy have plenty of money and a trip around the world meant nothing to them. They wero determined to sever the tie that bound them, be cause they hail come to tho parting of tho ways. Tho wife of another man had prepared a million dollar alienation suit against tho millionaire's wife. Hut being poople of refinement both man and woman shrank from the mu tually revolting testimony that woul:I have-to bo given if they were separata by tho law of thoir own state. They could not emluro tha sort of a t'lwir actor butchery and Its attendant noto riety. So they turned to France.

Then she filed a suit for divorce charging hor extravagantly rich husband with desortion, He followed hor to Franco and filed a countersult, making a similar charge. The French court, as is the custom, complacently asked the warring pair if a reconcilia tion were impossible. Doth declared an agreement was out of the question. Just so, said the court, and handed down divorce decrees to both. The man and the woman shared the doubt ful honor of cutting the matrimonial knot. Both wore loft froo, with no stigma attached to them and both were at liberty to marry aguln. Their own state denied them legal separation ex copt for extreme cause. Wore that law an absolute preventive of divorce except for statutory grounds, it would be an unquestionable benefit, but when it is evaded every day by those with mouoy enough to get out of town, its bouoflconce is doubtful. The millian aire pair referred to saw thoir matri monial bonds dissolved as easily as mist before tho rising sun, and all it cost thorn was a trip to Furoe, re tainers to French lawyers Bud a few weeks' sojourn in a foreign city.
