Washington. - Authority to send
American troops across the Mexican
border to quell conditions OF anarchy
or fighting that might threaten lives
or property on this side of the line
may soon be given to President Taft.
A resolution probably will be intro
duced In the Senate soon, with the
knowledge OF the administration,
which will be similar to Senator
Stones OF last May which directed the
foreign relations committee to ascer-
tain the duty OF this government in
connection with the killing OF Ameri.
cans by firing from the Mexican side
or may propose to delegate to Presi-
dent Taft authority to take whatever
steps he deems necessary In an emerg.
ency.
The proposed resolution is assumed
to be the direct outcome Of the con.
ference at the White House between
the President and Senators Lodge,
Bacon and Stone Of the foreign rela-
tions committee and Senators Bailey
and Culberson OF Texas.
The President discussed the situa-
tion with these senators. being with
out power to send troops out OF the
country without authority from Con-
Sress. is believed to have explained
that a situation might arise wherein
1t might be necessary to cross into
Mexico to compel the combatants to
remove their battle ground to a point
safe beyond the American border.
Such an act, 1t Is said would not be
considered an invasion nor an act of
war. as there was precedent for the
landing OF marines on foreign terri
tory in the absence Of troops from the
constituted governmnt to protect for
eign residents.
An encouraging Development OF the
day was the receipt Of dispatches re.
porting peaceful conditions at points
hitherto doubtful. State Department
officials dcclard that 1t did not appear
as II any rebellious force would men,
ace Juarez and bring about the contin-
gency for which precaution now is be-
ing taken.
From Consul General Hanna at Mon
terey came a telegram saying the ar
rival Of federal troops there and at
Torreon had relieved the situation at
those cities as well as surrounding
towns. From Durango and Hermosillo.
the consuls reported quiet. the only
disturbing element being Yaqui In
dians.
It is believed that more Americans
will BE- ordered to the border towns
within the next week. The Washing
ton government believe that the pres
cnce Of a large body of well equipped
infantry and cavalry, as we'll as field
artillery, might have a deterrent effect
on lawless bands in northern Mexico
and would reassure the Texas com.
munities.

important Court Decision,

Montrose.-Judge Shackleford OF
the District Court in chambers at Del
tn rendered one Of the most important
decisions which has ever been handed
down affecting the u. s. Reclamation
Service. John A. Masters. who had
proved up on 120 acres Of homestead
land in 1904. filed suit for an injunc-
tion to prevent the officers OF the
Reclamation Service from construct
ing a large canal through his land, be-
ing a part Of the west canal OF the I'm
Compahgre Valley reclamation project.
1t was asserted by the plaintiff,
Masters, that the reclamation Officials
had established a camp near his land
end had placed force OF men ut work
upon his property excavating for the
ditch and that 1t was proving very in
furious to his property. The Reclama-
tion Service took the ground that all
patents which had been issued by the
government since 1900 contained a
clause which reserved a right of way
through the land for ditch purposes.
and that the government had a right
under that provision to enter on his
or any other lands.
Judge Shackleford made the injunc-
tion permanent and held that the res
ervation in the patent was too indef-
mite to be OF any purpose and that
the only way the government could
construct ditch through the land
would be by due process Of law. Thus
work by the government on the West
canal must be stopped. The canal is
the uncompleted portion OF the I'm.
compahgre Valley project and was to
cost $4,000. The result may be that
the project vii be tied up for many
months. The case will probably go to
the Supreme Court Of the United
States.
The question affects every reclama-
tion project in the West.

equally between the company and the

The proposition met with unanimous
favor and there will be no trouble on
this basis in securing 10000 to 10000
acres. with increase acreage every
year. 1t is believed by this method
the farmers will receive an average
Of $50 per ton for beets and the com
pany will make as much or more
money than heretofore. because the
acreage will always be increasing and
heavy expense OF the sliding scale re-
duced. Capital for building the fac
tory is assured and a canvass for acre
