tirely will shortly be named from
among the numerous applicants who
are looking for the job The commis-
sioners will pay about 800 per month
for the right man, who will be made
responsible for the machine and it's
care. They do not mean that every
Tom, Dick and Harry shall run the
machine. for they believe that in the
care of one man the auto will last
much longer and be much less liable
to getout of order when 1t Is moet
needed.
Road Machinery Purchased
The road machinery purchased
consists of the following, which were
purchased from the Buffalo-Pitts
company, of Portland: Two double
cylinder contractors special hauling
engines, at $4,000 each; ten special
reversible stone spreading cars at

Nothing else was done Tuesday by
the commissioners but decide on this
machinery. which will be effectively
used in the building OF roads through
out the county. There was consider
able competition and bids on nuner-
Gus combinations of machinery, but
that selected by the commissioners
seemed the best in their opinion for
the work to be done and they were
unanimous In awarding the contract.

according to the grade and the con
dition OF the road. These outfits are
in use in many of the other counties
in the state and 1t was on recommen-
dation of the Pierce county commits
sioners that the commissioners of
Yakima county bought the outfit The
first outfit the kind was purchased
by Pierce county July 1, 1909, and
before the end of that year It had
paid for the outlay in saving the diff
ference between steam and horse
power. In the winter of that year
tbs second outfit was purchased by
Pierce county and before the end Of
the following year 1t had alss paid
for itself out of the saving made,
These conditions appealed to the
commissioners OF Yakima county and
they think there will be a great saw
ing made.

Taft Says He Could Not Permit
Americans to Be Threatened
With Danger on Threshold of

SAN ANTONIO, March 2S.-This
changes at Mexico City, the recall of
Limantour, the arrival of F. I. Mad
ero, Sr., and his son Guatvo, at San
Antonio and the recall home Of De
LaBarra all were explained today by
Madero and his son. Tentative peace
proposals have been made and on the
administration side have been acted
upon. In the view of Don Francisco,
peace is assured if not within ten
days at most within a month.
Diaz Saves His Face
Diaz is reported in message to the
Mexican government, will insist that
peace be concluded. Only on the sub
ject of why they were so sure peace
will be concluded within a set time
were father and son silent.
One point Limantour was firm
upon in his interview with Madero.
This was that Daz should be allowed
to save his face" by retiring from
the presidency with all honors due
his distinguished services. To this
Don Francisco agreed, subject how
ever, to the approval of his son, Fran
cisco, and other leaders. He did
not fear the adverse vote, however.
Diaz to Step Down
Diaz, according to program will re-
main in office with his new and somo-
what unsatisfactory cabinet until the
country is at rest. When peace is re-
stored the Iron Man" will step down
and out, it is believed. Limantour
or LaBarra will then become presi-
dent until the new president can b~
chosen at an election in which suf-
frage shall be unrestrained and free.

Fred Thompson of the Thompson
Fruit company has II acres of april
cots at Parker and they are uninjured

ager of the Zillah Free Press, who
was in North Yakima last evening
said he had talked with a number

which would indicate that any dam
age has been done there. The april
cots are pretty forward but the
peaches are not and the cherries are
not very large crop. even in the
aggregate, and appear to be unhur,.
Mr.. Hillyer's opinion was borne out
by the statements Of a number of
North Yakima men who had made
enquiries and observations but who
had not learned any i'll news Mr..

no i'll news.

II. o. Morrison. county deputy of the
state commissioner was in the lower

see that the orchards are properly
cared for in the way of spraying an
that they receive such other atten-
ton as the interests of the business as
a whole demand. Mr.. Morrison. who
has been very busy with the examina-
ton of incoming and outgoing nursery
stock, has not neglected the other
phases of his work. He has prepared
a number of notices which are to be
served and in which a definite date
is fixed before which the lime and
sulphur spraying must be done and
such other spraying as is necessary IN
his opinion. This plan will leave him
free after the time limit has expired
to proceed with the prosecutions nec-
essary in order to insure protection
for all His plan this year is based
on experience with some who have
not refused to comply with the law
but who have just persistently ne
elected to do SO. They will be caught
