MExIc0's LITERARY GENIUS.

Although the republic of Mexico is
a next door neighbor of the United
States, there are few people of this
country who have more than a very
haZy knowledge of that nation. The
statement that Mexico has highly
creditable literature of its own would
come as surprise to the majority of
Americans. Yet such is the fact, and
in the list of Mexico's literary men
none rank higher than Ireneo Paz,
who was born in Gaudalajara seventy
three years ago today.
1t would not be stretching the truth
to say that the life of Paz has been
the most romantic of any American
who was born in Guadalajara seventy
last half century. He was not only a
journalist, poet, dramatist, publisher,
artist and scholar, but also soldier,
a profound patriot, a statesman and a
practical politician. Mexico is prob
ably much more advanced today than
it would have been if Paz had never
lived.
When Macmillan attempted to
transform Mexico into an empire, Paz
fought the project with tongue and pen
and sword. He fought as a soldier in
the ranks until the republican forces
were temporarily defeated by the
army of empire. Then he established
journals in which he attacked monar-
chial ideas of government with all the
stinging satire of which he was the
master. He was thrown into prison,
but the triumph of the republic re-
suited in his liberation.
Upon his release he became con-
WINGED that the Juarez government
was a failure, and again he established
a journal to combat the president.
Again he was silenced by being thrown
into prison. Upon his release, he was
one of the first to advocate the elec-
ton to the presidency of Porforio Diaz,
the present chief executive of the re-
public.
Under the Diaz regime Paz devoted
his time to literary labors and the
books and dramas he has written make
an imposing list. He founded and
was for more than thirty years the
editor of La Patria, one of the leading
daily papers of the City of Mexico.
He held many public offices and was
for years president of the Associated
Press of Mexico and the United Press
of Mexico. His most notable dra.
matte work is Ga Manzana de la Dis
cordia," prose drama in three acts.

The flames had spread to the window

At 1880 o'clock last night the avn

TRANS from Ogle's addition.
The manner in which this road is
settling is quite remarkable as well as
interesting. In one place the old road
bed has gone down nearly six inches
in the past month. The stone culvert at
the ends has settled over foot in
the past two years, while the middle
has settled nearly three feet and Is
now two feet lower than the ends.
For the above reasons we would sug-
gest that no work with the view of
putting an expensive surface, or get a
permanent sidewalk be attempted this
year. Within another. year the grade
may again regain its equilibrium. The
surface could then be finished some.
what the same as on the Front street
slough and with the amount of travel
that Pleasant street has will give a
very satisfactory surface for a number
of years.
The crossing at Front and Carroll
streets at Mr.. Sherk's corner has a
fall from the north to the south side
of one and one-fourth inches. The
cheapest and best way to repair this
would seem to be concrete gutter
about three feet wide and long APP
proaches on each side The water will
then flow south down the gutter. This
will cost from fifteen to twenty dollars.
BY tine next regular meeting several
important pieces of work will be COM
pleted and we will endeavor to give
you comprehensive report of each.
