AMERICANS IN DANGER.
MORE Marines Needed to Curb Over
bearing Rebels at Managua.


bearing Rebels at Managua.
Washington, D. C.-More American
bluejackets and marines probably
must be landed on Nicaraguan soil ii
the safety Of American life and prop
erty there is to be assured. This was
made apparent to the officials. Man
aqua, the capital, with the American
railway station, steamboat wharves,
legation and the residences of the
American customs officials, and many
others, is considered safe, but Ameri-
can Minister Weitzel has informed
this government that he has taken no
tice Of the report that General Kele-
don, one of the rebel leaders, has
promised his men that they may sack
and pillage the capital. Minister
Weitzel had determined the rebels
shall not be allowed to do 80.
There is grave apprehension OF q
clash between the American forces
and the rebels, who appear to have as
sumed an overbearing attitude. The
rebellious movement appears to have
extended to the Gulf coast Of Nicara-
qua, and because Of many incendiary
attempts to destroy the town, Com
mander Edwin Durell, Of the gunboat
Tacoma, landed 81 officers and sailors
to police the town. AS in the case Of
Managua, the American forces were
called into service by the Nicaraguan
government itself.

great shortage Of men for all kinds Of

According to Manager Horn, Of the

men in the woods about Hoquiam at

not mill in the city but would en-

they were to be had.
This shortage of men exists despite
the fact that large number, many Of
them with families, have been
brought into the city in the last four
months and Is result of greater in

Hoquiam and on Grays Harbor for the
past three years. A minimum wage
Of 81. Is per day is being paid in the

CONGRESS WOULD QUIT.
Progress Made Toward Final Con.
sideration Of Bills.

8tQST0uOtt ~ osA1Ss
Washington, D. C.-With q celebrity
that hitherto has not marked the SEES
sion, congress rushed toward compile
ton four great supply bills and looked
forward confidently TO adjournment.
Conferees on the sundry, civil, In
dian, army and postoffice appropria-
ton measures were passed by the SEN
ate, and the general deficiency bill,
the last of the big supply measures to
be taken up, was reported in the SEN
ate and the way prepared for its con.
sidertaion.
The house took action on appropria:
tion Legislation further than to order
all conference reports printed in the
record so that prompt action could be
had. Unlike the senate's quick work,
by which the three bills passed were
rushed through in less than ten min.
utes, the house is expected to develop
sharp clashes on the sundry civil ane
Indian bills when they are reported. 5
Leaders on both sides did not regart
these difficulties as unreconciable and
it is believed before adjournment the
legislative dockets will be compare
lively clear. A fight developed in thu
senate on the army bill over the pro
posed seven-year term of enlistment
The army measure and the postoffict
appropriation bill were finally carried
over.
Radical changes in the postal ser
vices were provided for by the senate
and house conferees on the postoffict
bill. The Bourne parcel post system
was adopted for the present, including
the Oregon senator's ideas as to zones
distances and rates. The postmaster
general, however, was empowered
with the consent of the Interstat.
commerce commission, to change thu
rates, zones and articles admitted K
the post.
The Simmons good roads provisions
was adopted. This appropriate'

struction with joint committee t.

The senate provision requiring news
papers to publish semi-annually lis
of stockholders was adopted and an
other provision added to require every
daily newspaper to print statement
of its daily circulation.
In the postal bill the eight-hour la
Dor provision was agreed to, together
with the clause for the payment To-
over time work in cash. The senat,
amendment to allow employees to joil
associations was adpoted.

Road Funds Levied and All Warrant
indebtedness Paid.
Prosser-A statement given out by
County Auditor A. E. Verify regard
ing the financial condition of Benton
county shows that the county is on a
cash basis. 1t has no bonded indebt-
edness and there is cash enough ! in
every fund to pay all warrants OUT
standing against that fund and leave
q small surplus on hand.
At the close of BUSINESS on July 81,
1912. there were in the purely county
funds from various sources, after
deducting the amount Of all warrants
outstanding. $3698. In addition to
this sum there was $50, 343 from the
road funds, from the three road dis
tficts, after all warrant indebtedness
had been paid, making total of all
funds now on hand above warrant in
debtedness Of $50, 042. There is also
in the state permanent highway fund
$1O,412, Of which $7527 is available
for immediate use.
The road funds have been levied and
intended for use on the Richland-
Kennewick road as soon as the con-
tract can be let. The cash in the gen.
eral road and bridge fund will pay for
the new cement abutments for the
Richland and Kiona bridges and leave
small surplus for other work.

ganized it had to assume $4,000 in
debtedness of Yakima and Klickitat
counties as its share Of the debt,
which has been steadily reduced each
year, until the present cash basis has
been reached. The tax levy for coun-
ty expenses is lower than any adjoin-
ing county except Walla WSlla.
