BAD OPINION
OF AMERICANS ENTERTAINED
BY MEXICANS.
y. VI. Williams Writes of Foreign
View of Our LynchiDgs
and Mobs.

Capt. Mike Williams, superintenj-
ent of the marine ways. has receiv-
ed a letter from his son. Il. NJ. Will
liams, who recently went to Monte
rey. Mexico, to take the position of
superintendent in a rolling mill. In
this letter he tells of the opinion in
which Americans are held by the
general population of Mexico.
After describing a bull fight he
witnessed in which one man, five
bulls and six horses we're killed, and
commenting on the temperament of
the Mexican people, he tells Of theii
opinion of us.
The lynching mobs with their hor-
rible attendant evils; our great in
dustrial strikes and their violence;
the ferceness of some of our election
contests; and finally such incidents
as the one just occurring at Prince
ton: have inocuated the minds OF
the less enlightened Mexicans, but
who form the bulk of the people
with the idea that all Americans will
shoot on tn. slightest provocatioL
and shoot to kill.

1t is not my purpose to reproduce the entire
conversation between Uncle William and his
nephew, but only such parts as would most
likely interest the reader
After they had been talking for some time
about wild beasts and hunting, the conver-
sation turned upon reptiles, when Whine
"Uncle William, do you believe snakes can
charm%
NO." said Uncle William; mot in the
common acceptation of that word. j once
saw something that looked very much like
road accompanied by a friend, when, looking
a short distance ahead, saw gray squirrel
behaving in remarkable manner. The hit
tie animal was evidently in a high state of
excitement; so much SO that it did not ap-
pear to notice our approach at all, but kept
running up and down a bank of clay that
chung to the roots of fallen tree, right on
the side of the road
when we had approached within few
PAGES OF the spot, we stopped to observe the
squirrels movements and to study the cause
OF the animals strange alarm. In this,
however, we were unsuccessful, for there was
no visible cause of fear. The squirrel con-
tinued to run up and down the clay bank,
the top Of the bank it would stop a mo-
ment, and then run down as if in great
fright only to climb up to the same spot
again. This maneuver was repeated again
and again,
".At length / said: There must be some
thing on the other side of the root that
frightens it,

was mounted on a tall horse, and could look
over the bank. There is Just a log lying
there

make minute examination of the ground

home, overlook US, and seeing the squirrel
sprang upon and killed it, the squirrel max.
ing no effort to escape.
II was not satisfied with what / had
seen, and resolved to investigate further.
Il walked around the bank without dis
covering anything at all to account for the
strange movements of the squirrel Then |

done, and looking down, / behe1d sight
that startled me.

squirrels fright, but there was still mys
terry to be unraveled. / did not believe in
the power of snake to charm, although |
was willing to confess a strange sensation

those of the reptile.
II reyolved the matter in my mind great
many times, and finally reached the conclu-
sion that the squirrel was not Charmed but
simply frightened out Of its wits. 1t had

DEMAND FOR HOOD
RIVER APPLE PACKERS

+. 9. Campbell, one of Hood Riv-
cts expert apple packers announced
Tuesday that he had been offered a
big inducement to leave Hood River
aud go to another apple raising dis
trict In Oregon and pack apples and
teach others the method employed here
also. Mr.. Campbell says that the
time is at hand for increasing the
number of packers here, and that the
matter should be taken hold Of and
more men initiated into the secret
of the excellent pack put up by Hood
River. The fine pack put up here, he
says, has attracted 80 much attention
all over the northwest that growers
are anxious to secure men from Hood
River who are familiar and competent
to instruct others. 1t is not ques-
tion, he thinks, that ought to be de-
layed but should be brought to the
attention of growers Mt once.
1t is said to be difficult to secure
enough packers this year and al
though the crop Is big one 1t will lie
far larger next year as many more or
char & will come into bearing and to
maintain its reputation Hood River
must maintain its pack. To do this
requires the services OF men who
know how to do the work and for
that reason they should be instructed
this year,
