FARMERS BOYS ARE

At a meeting of the President
of twenty OF the nations largest
corporations held inlNew York the
other day it was a matter of COM
ment that of those present, twelve
were farmers "boys."
When the youngster at home on
the farm gets "the blueso and
fancies that there is no longer the
chance that there used to be TO
rise above the monotony of till r
of the soil, he can think of those
twelve captains of industry who
started as he is starting and re-
member that when they were boys
there we e times when they too m
agined that it was hopeless am-
bition to aspire TO win their way
to the front in the city.

farm has evolved some of the
worlds greatest men and some of
its most conspicuously nseful ores
and that with the increasing act

tions there is now, more than ever,
room at the top for the exceptional
man.
In the contemplation of the stir

seems dark and the future full of
gloom. Let him recollect that it
was the farm that gave us Abra-

THE CARSON
RIVER DAM

A late Washington, d. c. dis
patch says: The reclamation
Service gives ost the dimensions
and various Kindred figures re-
garding the Lahontan Dam on the
Carson river Just below the outlet
of the main Truckee Canal. This
dam is expected to be one of the
important engineering works Of the
west. The engineers have been
engaged In preparing the plans fer
several months. A camp has al
ready been established d to provide
for the army of men, and this
camp will be connected with the
Southern Pacific railroad at La
honton station. Several loeomo-
tives are now on the ground 10

The big dam, says the Reclama
ton Service Bulletin, "will consist
of an earth embankment having
length OF 1850 feet, a maximum
height of 125 feet and a volume Of
about 10000 cubic yards. 1t will
form storage reservoir having an
area OF IL 900 acres and capacity
OF OF 100000 acre-ieet. The en-
bankment is to be 20-feet wide on
top, with an up stream slope of )
to |, protected by two feet of rip
rap, and down stream slope of 2
to one, protected by II inches OF
riprap.
Near the upstream top OF the
dam there is cutoff trench ID
feet in depth, having concrete
wall 2 to 4 feet In th ckness ex
tending to an additional depth OF
30 feet. Two Concrete spillways
are To be construc cd one at each
end of the enbankment, having the
crest of II feet below the top OF the
dam. The length of each .plllway
Is 250 feet and the water flows
down over concrete steps To a
circular pool near the toe of the
daun. This will serve to retard the
the velocity of the water suiiici

old river bed without danger Of
eroding the soil.
"The outlet work consists of twin
concrete conouits of horse shoe
shape, approximately 5 feet in

operated from gate tower at the
upper end OF the conduit. The
estimated cost of the dam is ST.

THE Mexican government is fully
strong enough TO protect properties
and lives OF its own countrynen and

1.-THE best elements of Mexican citi-
zenship are in favor of maintaining
peace and order. and that explains
why the seditIous movement has been
reduced TO the guerrilla warfare IN the
northern section of Chihuahua. Re-
ports published about the growth OF

Financier Declares That

Between Japs and MexicanS

dispatch received here fom MexlcJ
Ci,y says:
"A secret treaty which provides for

lists between the government of MexlcJ
and japan. or this statement, whl~h
Will no doubt be denied, there is the
authority of q prominent flnancier VINO
is one of the powers LehInd the throne
in Mexico. According 10 this authority
the Mexican-Japanese secret treaty OF
alliance was negotiated about a year
ago.
THE treaty" he said, "proyidesamong
other things, hat in the event tnat
Mexico is attacked by a strong r pow.r
Japan will come to her rescue. TIE
convention further states that upon an
official request of the Mexican govern
ment for aid Japan will respond with
her army and navy"
What will happen. In my opinion,
IL that the United States will assist
the Diaz government ia crushing the
revolution and the Mexican-Japanese
treaty will be broken. The Washing
ton government knows that the Mex
ican-Japanese treaty exists, and the
object Of the present military and naval
demonstration is to break 1t under the
guise of helping the Diaz government.
It is notice to Japan that no offensive

American country will be tolerated by
the United States"

DEATH INSTANT CHOICE

CHICAGO, March f1.-Thrown from

severed his left leg and arm, Edward
Wolf, II years old. last night made the
instant choice of death as the alterna-

Injuries, he managed TO reach into his
pocket with his remaining hand, dra j"
a revolver and put a bullet through
his brain.
The bullet which made a suicide Of
Wolf almost claimed a second life, for
it passed completely through the head
of the self-slain boy and hit his travel

years old. Haines was struck in the
neck and physicians who removed tie
bullet later found that 1t had just
grazed the Jugular vein. Wolf and

ARE
VALID; CASUALTY
COMPANY SETTLES
Gray-M Vaudeville Company Ac'
cepts Proposition to End Liti-
CATION Out of Court.

BY agreement of counsel representing
Christian F~'eigenspan and the Com
mercial Casualty Company of New
Jersey on the one side, and the Gray
Vaudeville Company, of this city, on
the other side, the controversies and
suits arising out of the contracts made
by the Commercial Casualty Company
with the Gray-Mandeville Company
have been settled and discontinued.
The basis of the settlement was on
terms entirely satisfactory to the Gray
Vaudeville Company, inasmuch as the
consideration given acknow. edges the
vaiidity of the contracts which had
previously been questioned and over
which all the controversy arose.
In fixing the monetary consideration
paid by the Commercial Casualty Com
pany, the Gray-Mandeville Company
maintained the position which 1t had
taken throughout the controversy, the
SUN being, however. much In excess OF
that which 1t had agreed to accept
prior to bringing the suit.
1t is understood that the settlement
vas effected on a basis of $4,000, Of
which $11.000 was paid in cash.
The negotiations for this settlement
were ~inaugurated ~ Mr.. ~Feigenspan,
as president of the Commercial Casual
ty Company, and they were promptly
brought to enc through Ralph Lun,
as counsel for Gray and Vaudeville.
Negotiations Ended Friday.
Yes, all the suits In the matter Of
the Gray-Mandeville Company against
the Commercial Casualty Company
have been settled" said Mr.. Lum this
morning. The negotiations were, in
fact, closed asst Frlaay, but the releases
and acceptances took some time to pre-
pare, and these were not executed
until this week. The terms of settle
ment were entirely satisfactory to my
clients and constitute a complete vindi-
cation of my clients position through
out this controversy"
did William J.. Gardner, general
manager Of the Commercial Casualty
Company, take part In these negotia-
tons p asked the reporter.
he did not replied Mr.. Lum en-
phatically. THE negotiations through
out we're with MIR. ~Felgenspan in per-
son and his counsel, and at no time
was there any criticism OF the position
my clients have occupied In this con-
troversy."
Did Mr.. Gray or Mr.. Vaudeville
take part in the ncgotiations?"
They did not. / had their full In
structions and when the opportunity
came for a settlement I informed them
of that fact, and they told me to pro-
coed at my discretion. As a matte o.
fact" Mr.. Lum added, Gray and Man
deville's desire mas been to preserve the
interests OF the sto klolders of the
Commercial Casualty Company. These
views equally controlled Mr.. Feigen-
sIan's position, SO o can see 1t Wa
comparatively easy for me to close this
case out of court.
1T might say Mr.. Lum remarked In
conclusion, that I am sorry the soit
was settled, speaking as a lawyer. I
should like very much to have carried
the matter to the courts"
