AlluC Dear NluXC
The superintendent of schools.
Miss Dryden, visited our school last
week and seemed to be we'll pleased
with the condition of the school un-
der the management of Miss Eikum,
the common lack of interest on the
part of the parents, was the only
criticism offered.
In few we'll chosen words Miss
Dryden expressed her pleasure at
finding such large attendance. The
enrolment is forty with an average
attendance of thirty seven plus. She
then gave the pupils very interest
ing and instructive discussion of the
Potato Club Plan The plan is to
have the school boys of each district
organized with notless than five men,
bers. Each member is to raise five
hundred hills of potatoes. The pota-
toes are to be taken to the county
fair to be judged and from there the
four best exhibits will be taken to the
Inland Empire Fair to be judged for
sweepstakes. The pupils of the
school both boys and girls showed
great enthusiasm over the plan and
there is no doubt that when the time
for organizing the club comes there
will be several times five members
on L. B. R. Miss Dryden also spoke
briefly, but inspiringly on the value
of education in the rural communities.
To show that the ideas gained will
have lasting effects the pupils of the
lower grades are planning school
garden on a small scale. Each one
is going to plant beans in boxes, as
it is yet to early to plant them in the
regular way. They promise to report
results later.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.
THE WAR AND THE RAILROADS.
Rv Frederic I Haek;r
BY Frederic ]. Haskin

The problems of the government in
Mexico growing out OF the revolution are
multiplied and intensified by the charac-
ter of the ownership OF the majority OF
the railroads of the country. The govern
ment has a varying degree of interest in
all Of the railroads of the nation. The
road from Vera Cruz and Cordoba to the
Isthmus of Tehauntepec is owned by the
government outright, and Is operated by
Il as a part of the national railways
The country through which this road
passes has experienced little trouble as
far as the revolt against Nader is con-
cerHed. The road across the Isl mus OF
Tehauntepec Is owned outright by the
government, which expended so much
in the building of the road and the port
works at Salina Cruz and Coatzacoalcos
that the gross earnings do not suffice to
meet even the fixed charges 1t is
operated by a partnership company con-
sisting of the firm of Sir Weetman Pear
son and the government of Mexico as
equal partners. This road has not been
hit very hard by the revolution, since
most of its revenues consist of the trans
continental traffic brought to the two
sides OF the isthmus by the steamship
lines OF the Atlantic and Pacific.
In the vast majority of the other rail-
roads of the country the government
owns a majority OF the stock, and thus
dominates their policies. Not long after
1900 1t began to look to the Mexican gov
ernmcnt as IL some of the big railroad
interests of the United States were about
to swallow up a number of the principal
roads Of the country, so II was decided
that the only way to overcome this dan
ger would be for the government TO buy
up a controlling interest In the roads.
Therefore a new company was organized
in which the government took $3.50, ,O04, $50
of the $460. .0OO. 900 OF capital stock. Pre-
vfous to this the government had bought
quietly In Wall street a controlling in

harbors. that this estimate is far too
low.
What the ultimate outcome of the reyo-
luton is going to be no one can forecast,
and until that is decided no one can safe
ly predict what the railroad situation of
the future is going to be. Certain it is
that the national lines have been heavily
hit, and that their day of suffering does
not seem to be past
The naturalization of the railways of
Mexico probably has been one of the

dero revolution and for the prosperity OF
the Orozco counter-revolution. 1t was
early decided that wherever a Mexican
could be used to as good advantage as
an American the Americans job should
be given to him. Gradually the Mexican
learned the mysteries of railroad opera
ton and thousands of them became rail-
road men. They were rather more wide
awake than the average Mexican laboring
class and soon began to think for them
selves and to pass their thoughts along
ening made the masses ready for any
thing that promised relief to them, and
consequently ready for revolution.
Until peace is again established and on
a firm footing. there will be little more
railroad building done in Mexico. While
some mileage has been built since the
revolution began, and little is now un-
der construction, 1t is simply the COM
pletion Of projects undertaken before. AS
it is, Mexico next to the United States,
has more railroad mileage than any other
principal country in the new world in
proportion to area. and prior to the Ma
dero revolution they were all prosperous.
The railroads of Mexico not only have
suffered from the direct effects of the
revolution. but from the indirect effects
as well. There has been a vast falling off
in the buying power Of the people. and a
consequent reduction in the volume of
traffic. The slowing up Of the mining op-
erations of the country has reduced the
amount Of business. while the crop short
ages have written their story upon the
bill of lading records of the Mexican rail-
roads. There are some who are hoping
that the revolution will soon be a thing
of the past. and who believe that its end
will be the signal for the beginning of an
era of unprecedented prosperity. There
are others who feel that 1t will take Mex
leo many a year to rally from the evil
effects Of the warfare that has been car
rted on for two years already, and for

The latter gave 1t an outlet to the
Rio Grande from the capital, via Mon
terey and Laredo. A little later the
Mexican Central running from FL Paso,
got into financial difficulties and the gov
ernment wanted to save it. That was
what led to the formation of the new
holding company with the government as
the possessor of the majority of the
stock. Nearly four-fifths of the railroad
mileage OF Mexico is now under the own
ership of this company, of which the
government owns controlling interest.

ing company they are heavy, for, be it
said. Wall Street was not asleep when
the deal was put through. The bonds
still draw interest and that interest must
be met. Yet the earning power Of the
national railways has shrunk immeas-
urably. With traffic over a major part
of the line from the capital to Ell Paso
constantly interrupted and often all but
completely suspended, and with similar
situations prevailing only in smaller
degree in other sections, il will be seen
that freight and passenger earnings must
show a decided slump. Nor is this ALL

lists they have used 1t for all II is worth,

In addition to this there arises the
question OF physical destruction. A
dozen times or more large mileages have
fallen into the hands of the rebels only
to be rescued by the federals again. A
very large number Of bridges have been
repeatedly destroyed, and great sections
of track have been torn up. In many
cases the rails have been bent out of
all shape to prevent their ever being

used again. All this has fallen heavily
upon the government lines, and the result
is that II the government does not meet
the interest charges out of the federal
treasury they will scarcely be met at ALL
The revolutionists, realizing that the
government is the principal owner Of
these railways, have not scrupled to dam
age them just as far as possible both be-
cause 1T would cripple the facilities for
handling federal troops. and because it
would add further burdens to the already
strained treasury. OF course, there is
one saving feature to the situation from
a government standpoint. The financial
interests of the world have money tied
up in the national railways of Mexico.
If the revolution is successful there may
be difficulty in realizing on those invest
ments., Therefore. it is reasoned, financial
aid will be forthcoming for the purpose
Of protecting these investments.
There are a number of Independent
lines in Mexico, those in the southern
part of h e
English Owned Lines country being
in South of Country. ed. and those
in the northern half being under Ameri-
can ownership. One of these is the
Southern Pacific lines in Mexico, which
lead from a point in Arizona to the Gulf
of California harbor of Guaymas, the
port which Orozco aims to capture, so
as to have a port within the revolution
ary territory. The present and immedi-
ate future activities of the northern revo-
lutionists seem to be laid out along this
line, since it extends from the territory
where the revolutionists now are, through
Hermosilla, state of Sonora, the capital
which they expect to take, and on to
Guaymas, their ultimate objective.
In the building of the railroads of the
country Mexico has been extremely lib
eral with subsidies to those who would
undertake the work. These subsidies
have ranged from $4,000 To $1,000
mile, and in return therefor The COM
pany has agreed that after ninety-nine
years the road should become the prop
erty of the government under an agreed
compensation. It is certain that without
such subsidies some of the important
roads of the republic never would have
been built, for the day when they could
be expected to return profit on their
whole cost was SO far distant as not to
appeal to any investor. The traffic at
best is rather light, the cities are few and
far between, and government aid was alb
solutely necessary. 1t is said that the
Mexican government has spent over $780,
100000 In aiding in the construction Of
railroads and port works. II is probable,

Senator Kern, chairman of the resolu-

attend the meeting today. O'Gorman
and Bryan were the rulers of the reso-
lutions "roost." The other nine men,
bers of the subcommittee decided
against having any more persons with
platform ideas appear today for hear
ings.
They decided Bryan and O'Gorman
should be trusted with the whole Job.
Other members OF the general and sub
committee wished to join in the con-
Vention proceedings, and Bryan and
O'Gorman are left alone to dictate every
plank.
Tonight it is expected the Bryan
O'Gorman draft will be adopted by the

not precluded by the sorrowful consu-

going up against Clark Is this:

BALTIMORE. June H.-RealiZing that

the Clark managers today made the
most desperate efforts to clear the way
to Jam the nomination of Clark through
the second ballot.

Situation Is Dangerous.
The situation OF the Clark people be-
came dangerous last night. Two days
ago they had their combination SO well
adjusted they thought nothing could in
terfere with IT. They laughed at the
notion that there was any danger of
rocks being thrown into the cylinder.
But last night there was perceptible
change. The temper of the delegates
was more insistently progressive. The
word went round that nothing must be
done to stamp this convention as in any
sense reactionary.
Clark delegations began to chafe and
get restless under the bombardment
from the country and the rain OF tele-
grams finding bitter fault because the
convention turned down Bryan.
The result was that last night and
this morning the word that passed
around among the insiders in the Clark
camp was that things were getting
shaky. one OF several things have
bobbed up to give trouble to the Clark
leaders.
