Turks Make Promises

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct S-The
Balkan situation has been consider
ably changed by Turkeys eleventh
hour surprise in the announcement of
her Willingness TO grant a greater
measure of self government TO Ro-
mania and Macedonia
1t is argued here that in introducing e
in those provinces reforms elaborated
France, German, Austria, Italy and
Russia, Turkey not merely desires to
give the powers an argument for
nging pressure to bear in the Bal
kan capitals. but probably has in view
the circumstances that the decision is
calculated to sow discord among the
members of the Balkan alliance.
The Greeks in particular are likely
to be dissatisfied, for it is regarded
n diplomatic circles as without doubt
that they were counting on a general
confiagration in order to settle various
issues of long standing. These in
clude. for instance, the presence of
Cretan deputies in Athens.
However, although the position has
improved, war cannot yet be said to
the fear is expressed that the excite
ment created by the war preparations
of both sides has advanced too far for
a conflict to be avoided on the basis of
any reform short of complete Mace
donian autonomy.

To Enforce Dema N DIS
POWERS TO STOP TROUBLE
IN THE BALKANS

PARIS, Oct. S.-The European pow
ers have decided to intervene in the
Balkans and at Constantinople as
soon as it is possible to make ar
rangements to that effect.
Great Britain signified today her
acceptance of the French proposals,
so that all of the powers now are in
accord.
Premier Poincare imm ediately COM
municated Great Britains acceptance
to Sergius Sazonoff, Russian foreign
minister, who then telegraphed to the
Russian diplomats accredited to the
Balkan states, telling them to join
their Austrian colleagues in a mutual
presentation to the Balkan govern
ments of the note agreed upon. This
is to be done at the earliest possible
moment.
AS to the steps to be taken in Con-
stantinople, the ambassadors Of
France, Great Britain, Russia, Ger
many and Austria Hungary will then
present to the Ottoman government an
identical verbal communication, the
terms of which have been agreed up
on, but have not been officially an
nounced.

BOSTON WINS;
SCORE 3 TO 4

/ IBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Joe Wood of
Boston delivered today, with the re
suits that Boston gets four and New
York three. By one of those narrow
squeaks which make baseball, Boston
finished under the wire today, an eye
lash ahead of thu Giants, but the dis
tance was sufficient
Big Jeff Tesreau, upon whom New
York pinned hopes for winning the
first game, delivered the best he had
IT. stock, and that best was mighty
fine commodity for six innings. But
in the seventh the terrific strain un-
der which he had been working took
the spring out of his mighty right arm
and the Red Sox, who had been wait
ing and expecting this very thing. con-
nected with his fading efforts for three
runs, chalked up on the basis of a
pair of singles and a brace Of doubles.
This trio of tallies, taken together with
a lone run in the sixth, did the bust
ness for Boston.
Young Joe Wood, making his initial
world series bow, the same as Tes-
reau, supplemented his arm with his
head to better advantage. BY using
better judgment and saving something
for the last, the smaller man managed
to go the distance.
Never in the history of baseball were
more nerve racking moments known
than in the last inning of the game
and when it was all over the crowd
simply wilted. Wood was the hero IF
the hour, and only Speaker, with his
triple, approached Smoky Joe's" glory.
In the third inning, for New York
Tesreau famed; Devore walked; Doyie
singled; Snodgrass famed Murray
singled, scoring Devore and Doyle;
Murray out trying for second on the
hit, Speaker to Cady to Wagner. Two
runs.
Fourth inning-no score.
Fifth inning-no score.

PROPOSAL To SELL IRRIGATION
SYSTEM REJECTED BY BOARD

superintendent Melton, at a meeting
OF the directors of the irrigation dis
trict this morning submitted pro-
posal from the southern Pacific COM
pany to sell the irrigation system to
the district, the basis of the COM
pany being paid S2,60O, ,O00, the people
of the valley to assume responsibility
for other claims against the district
which aggregate nearly a million dol
lars, and which would make a possible
purchase price of about three and a
half million dollars.
1t appeared that several months
since the directors had instructed M.
Melton to secure proposal from the
railroad company, and he had en-
deaNored to secure an offer to cover
the claims in full, but had been in
formed by President Sproule that the
company could not submit such d.
proposition.
The additional claims consist of the
Boaz Duncan bonds, the salt works
Judgment and the Jones judgment
and there is reason to believe this can
be reduced through compromises.
There was considerable discussion
by the members of the board and At
torney Haines. the latter taking the
ground that the valley should stand
pat on the proposition for the railroad
company to clean up the claims and
get into position to give the valley a
clear title.
Mr.. Pound said ii was his conviS-
ton that eventually the valley could
force through a right of way for an
irrigation canal in Mexico. but it was
a question with him if the people of
the valley would not lose more by
waiting than they would by paving
the price asked.
Mr.. Melton carried the idea that #
this offer was not accepted the price
later on, when the whole affair was
cleaned up. might be as high or higher
than now.
Speaking of the Mexican situation.
Mr.. Melton said that officials in Wash
ington had informed him that the
reclamation service was seeking 10
demand an understanding with Mexi-
co in the hope that eventually the
valley would be forced to come under
the reclamation system.
Attorney Haines took the ground
that the southern Pacific company !,
responsible for the attitude of De
pOSitariO Andrade which he con-
strued TO be unfavorable to the farm
ers. and said the Southern Pacific com
pany must be given to understand
that its representatives must quit
sticking pins into the people of the
valley.

HOW NOT TO BUILD
SUBSTANTIAL COMMUNITY

1t seems strange that there are al
ways people ready to bite on every
new project that comes along, and 1t
has often been pointed out that the
more distant the scene of operations
the quicker the people would be to
take stock in it. There is certain
allurement about affairs in general
that increase in proportion to distance.
If person was to approach a fer
mer with a proposition to take stock
in a company intending to grow alfal
! ia, he would probably say that he
would conduct his farming operations
for himself according to his own ideas.
and yet mat same farmer might take
stock in a mercantile house a thou
sand miles away. though run by Deo-
pie of whose business ability and hon
esty he knew absolutely nothing. He
would do this in spite of the fact that
generally speaking there are more
failures in merchandising .han in
farming, and in spite of the fact that
when an establishment must send
hundreds of miles away to enlist the
capital of people who know nothing
of their business that fact looks rather
suspicious.
1t is a fact that there are a few
great mail order houses that have
been built up by the energy and a5ili-
ty of the owners, just as there are
other great establishment in other
lines which have been very successful.
But it is also true that with the few
successes there have been hundreds OF
failures, and it would seem hardly
probable that a business owned by
state, would be so successful as one IN
the hands of schooled business men
working with the desperate energy IA
man puts into his own affairs.
The mail order business under any
circumstances is a bad thing for the
that there is money within our reach.
If money is not to be had, all industry
is crippled. And the further money is
away the more difficult becomes the
transaction of business, and all classes
suffer.
Every dollar that is sent from the
valley to a distant mail order house
puts that dollar where the people of
the valley will not have another
chance at it. The skillful billiard
player with each shot attempts to leave
the balls in position for another shot
SO the wise person will attempt to
keep the dollars he spends near at
hand where he will have another
chance at them.

WORK STILL DELAYED

"California Development company

IS meant that the land goes to the ir-

orty Of the company, and this is esti-
mated TO represent 4 value OF 4 half

BY the government debt, it is meant
that the southern Pacific company

After Long Delay

The announcem ment made above
comes after year and a quarter have
elapsed from the founding of the dis
trict, and yet it is soon as it was
expected the affairs of the district
could be brought to definite pro-
posal.
There was much detail to be cleared
away before the proposal could be
brought to a definite point, and it is
apparent that there is much more TO
be done before the district can enter
upon the actual work of distributing
water.
The proposal is made public when
the irrigation district has in great
part passed from the thoughts of the
people of the valley, and they will un-
doubtedly take time to weigh the pro
posal in all its details before passing 2
judgment upon it.
The negotiations leading up to the
proposal have been conducted with
such secrecy that nothing was known
of the plans of the board until the
that time it had not been known
whether the directors were working
with the railroad company or the irri-
cation district, il being thought by
many persons that the latter would
have some offer to make. possibly with
the view to building system entirely
On American soil.
