MANAGUA, Dec. 17,-President
zelaya last night cabled concilia-
tory message to President Taft. In
the message zelaya said he had
shown his good faith by resigning in
order that Nicaragua might resume
friendly relations with the United
States. He added that he proposed
to leave the country, but stood ready
to account for his acts as President.
Service by courier has been estab-
lished between Managua and Corintl
to keep the officers of the American
warships in the corinto harbor IN
formed on developments at the cap
ital.
DR.. Julian Irias, minister general
has been created general, supposed
ly with a view of his elevation to su-
preme command of the army, when
DR.. Madriz assumes the presidency.
Opponents of Madriz assert this
will result virtually in q military
dictatorship by Irias.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IL
The passing of zelaya as dominant
influence for evil in Central America
and especially in Nicaragua, is re-
garded here as long step forward
The frequent mention, however, Of
the name of Madriz as possible
successor to the presidency is no,
received with favor in official circle;
in Washington. He is known as 9
Zelaya adherent.
Though this government does moi
take kindly to the Madriz movement
1t is improbable that the United
States would take active measures
to prevent his installation as presi
dent. The execution of Cannon ant
Groce was matter entirely sepa
rate from other questions involved
and, when responsible government
is installed the United States viii
make a demand upon that govern.
ment for reparation for the death OIL
these two men and that demand will
probably involve the arrest and pun.
ishment OF Zelaya.
Whether or not the United States
will take any steps to prevent Re.
laya's leaving the country is at this
time problematical.

Stray Buro Tells Story of the Desert

Yuma, May 24.-Saturday morning a stray burro with a pack on his bacl !, i wondered into the little railroad sta tiOn of Avalon, three miles out on the Southern Pacific. The pack when ex- amined was found to belong, appar- ently to Japanese by the name of M. Suznki. It contained clothing. let ters, flour, coffee, salt, half gallon bucket about half full of blood, and another bucket in which there was a lot of cooked meat. The meat was ap. parently burro meat. There were also two canteens without drop of water in either. There was a letter from Samuel T. Lee, American consul at Nogales, recommending Suzki as a | good and faithful servant. In the pack also was razor covered with blood Inspector Brazie was sent for al d went out to Avalon and brought in the burro and the pack. What became of the Jap? Inspector Brlzie is of the opinion that there wee probably two Japs and two burros and that running out of water they killed one of the burros and caught the blood to drink and cooked part of the burlo meat That later they were overcome by thirst and heat and succumbed to the desert and the burro wandered away.
 Three weeks ago Inspector Brazie later taken to Los Angeles. They claimed that they had left one of their number and four burros on the desert. This might be one of their burros ex- cepting for the fact that the blood was comparatively fresh and the meat had not spoiled.

Eli Hilty, superintendent of the Rat
 tan Ruth mines, is in Kingman. He
 believes the mines are sure to become the largest producers of San Francisco district. Every foot of new work has shown improvement in width of vein and value of filling.
 If you would be land owner under the new desert land act now is the time to make your selection. This act gives each person the right to take up and improve 320 acres of land, cer- ] tain percentage to be brought under cultivation yearly. It must be taken up with the intention of improvement, no one being permitted to hold the lands for speculative purposes.
 The people of Mohave county, and especially those residing in the San Francisco mining district, should in- vestigate the application for survey and patenting of the lands embraced in the old St. Louis x San Francisco grant. Much of these lands are min. eral, in fact, little else in the section S west of Little Meadows being without the mineral zone. Should these lands go to the railroad company mining in that district would receive decided blow. The lands embraced in the grant run as far north as Coyote Holes and west almost to the Colorado river, every alternate section being covered Now is the time to enter protest against the confirmation of the minera lands of the grant, and the people in. terested should lose no time in present. ing to the department the character and value of the lands for mineral pu. poses.

Shortage of Feed.

Wichita.-There will be fewer cat
tie fed in Southwest Kansas this year
than in many years past, is the con-
census of opinion among stock men Of
this vicinity. The shortage of feed is
said to be the principal contributing
cause. The situation is already max
ing itself felt on the local cattle mar
ket. Much of The beef stuff that would
ordinarily be wintered and corn fed is
being sold. Whether or not the condi-
ton will effect the Kansas City, st.
Louis and Chicago markets is a ques-
tion, but the Wichita market will I'M
doubtedly be flooded this fall and ear
ly winter and embarrassed by short
shipments in the spring.
Feed promises to bring high prices
as the winter months advance. The
corn crop is far from being up to its
usual standard. Alfalfa did not yield
as well as usual and other rough"
crops were only fairly good. Many of
the heavy feeders of the southwestern
Kansas section have only few cattle
in their yards or few coarloads at
most, where ordinarily they fed cattle
by the trainload. The situation
promises perplexing problem for the
local packing industries.

The sale was made by Col. c. Post, an

The Mulberry band led the crowd OF
a thousand people to the top of the
hill with the tune of Home, Sweet
Home" The large crowd was fed by
Mr.. Irwin at noon and each guest was
given a tin cup as a souvenir and to
conform to the rulings Of the state
board of health. There were several
bidders for the townsite, the bidding
starting at one thousand dollars. This
is said to be the first time in the his
tory of the state where an entire town.
site was sold at auction. Mr.. Irwin
sold all his stock and farm implements
and the greater part of the money
was paid in checks, very few notes be-
ing given.

Ahead of the Taxes.

Hutchinson.-Three school districts
in Reno county will not collect dol
lar for school purposes in taxes this
year for the reason that no levies
were made for school purposes in
those districts. This is not due to
any mistake or miscalculation. but be-
cause treasures in these three dis
tricts have enough funds on hand
without a levy being necessary this
year. These districts are No. So,
southeast of Haven; No. 100, north
west of Haven, and No. 104, southeast
of Partridge.
Another district, No. 20, in Clay
township, three miles east of Hutch.
inson, made only one one-hundredth
of mill levy, which is about the same
as none at all Two other districts
which made small levies, five one
hundredths of mill, are No. IA, north
east of Nickerson, and No. 43, north
east of Abbeyville.
The largest school levy in the coun-
ty this year is that of Union district,
No. 5, comprising several school dis
tricts in Medford township, which
merged together and recently built a
new school house. This district has a
bond levy of .16 mill, and a total levy
of 81 mill for school purposes. The
school levy of the city of Hutchinson
comes next in size, .495 mill. Nicker-
son comes third, with levy of 1865
mill.
