Crates for about fifteen or

The first car was loaded yester-

Big BARBECUE AT MILES
Agricultural Display, Grand Free
Dinner, Speech Making, Dancing,
and uood Time In Little City.


The wonderful resources of the
great Concho Country we're never
displayed to a better advantage
than at Miles on the occasion of
the fair, barbecue and immigra-
tion carnival Monday and Tues
day, July oath and 25th. The
people of Miles, Notwithstanding
little disappointment in the
matter of excursion rates, we're
perfectly at home with their hos
pitality and good order prevailed
during the entire two days.
What the Concho Country can
produce is revelation to the
people of Central, East and North
Texas. And the Miles people
with their carnival have helped
set the object lesson before their
minds A great many visitors
we're on hand and ordinations
of wonderment at what West
Texas can grow were heard on all
sides. Even residents of this Sec
ton we're surprised at the broad
extent of the agricultural dis
play.
Runnels county farmers and
some of those who live in Tom
Green were on hand with Il nice
showing of farm products. There
were exhibits of corn, milo maize,
cotton plants. millet and almost
every sort of feed stuff. The
people of the entire country tri-
butary to Miles were enthused
with the spirit of the movement
and entered into the affair to the
extent of doing all they could TO
make the event n success.
Miles is a progressive little city
as the readers of the Press have
been told and retold. They go in
for anything which will help pre-
sent the advantages of West
Texas to the mind of the visitor
in a ia, orable manner. The real
estate people are alive to their
own best interests and to that of
the Miles section. The people of
Miles are for Miles first last and
all the time, There is no coquet-
ry for them with any other towns.
They are loyal and exceptionally
public spirited.
Their fair was success because
they started out to make it 80. II
but one man decided to come to
the Miles country as n result they
will feel that their efforts have
not been in vain. But one will
not be the limit. A score or
more of boll-weevil people will
come to this glad new lind and
they will in time bring Others to
follow them The Miles country
has great future, these people
fully realize this fact and are
making the very best of their
present opportunities for enhanc-
ing the value Of their holdings by
inducing additional investors to
come.
Monday was spent in speech
making, in listening to band
music and in viewing the farm
exhibits. At night there was n
grand ball at the opera house and
II large number of young people
were in attendance. The day
was pronounced n success by
every person who was in Miles
that day whether stranger or no,
A number of San Angelo people
we're in attendance. Their names
will he found among the locals
and personals in this Issue of The
Press.

CHINA INCLINED
TO BE DILATORY
SECRETARY HAY CALLS ATTEN-
TION TO.THAT GOVERNMENTS
FAILURE TO MAKE PROMISED
IMPROVEMENTS.

Washington, April 5-Chinas failure to
assist the powers in undertaking the
Improvement of the Whargpu river as
she pledged by the peace protocol of
1901 to do, and the inability of the Amer
lean minister at Pekin to obtain any
satisfactory information on the subject.
caused Secretary Hay recently to ad-
dress the governments signatory to the
Pekin peace protocol on the subject
After calling their attention to the
ever-increasing Importance of this i'm
provement to the foreign commerce or
Shanghai and China generally, Secre-
tary Hay recorded the failure of this
governments efforts to overcome the
disinclination of the Chinese government
TO make necessary appointments to the
international commission which was to
be charged with the work. and added:
Nor have we been able TO secure the
unanimous and active support of all the
diplomatic representatives at Pekin in
our efforts to conquer Chinese dilatori-
ness"
Secretary Hay then expressed his gov
ernment's acceptance on part of China's
suggestion that the protocol be amend
ed so as to enable China to undertake
the entire work unaded by the powers.
This acceptance, however, was condition
al on the presentation by China of good
and sufficient guarantees that "China
would promptly begin the conservancy
work, carry 1t to satisfactory termina-
tion and maintain 1t afterwards"
The other powers were asked to in
struct their diplomats at Pelkin in ac-
cordance with this last proposition. Thus
far China has not fulfilled the Secre-
tary's conditions.
