HEARTS OF PROJECT SETTLERS;
WILL AID THEM IN THEIR WORK

luncheon had been provided by the
ladies of Hermiston and following this
spread talks were made by actual set
tiers who are succeeding James Gent,
a fiveacre tract man, told of his sue
cess and of the home he is making for
his wife and family and of the prof
its they already realize. George A.
Cressy, formerly of Disconsin, told of
dairying on 10 acres and of making
good. Lee Irwin told of his expert
ence on 100 acres. Tom Haddock re-
lated his work and told of a prospec-
tive 75 bushel per acre corn crop.
Henry Sommerers told his expert
ences and made a hit by saying that
while in Kansas whenever a crop
failure comes the people blame it
upon the Almighty and the democrat
ic party. the tendency at Hermiston
has been to blame all trouble to the
reclamation service.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Strong
indication that Lind will succeed in
his mission of peace was seen in the
receipt of 1000 word installment of
Huerta's reply to Lind's representa-
tions. 1t will take all day to decipher
the dispatch, but it is known that
time is asked to consider the presi-
dents proposals.
Certain government officials pro-
fess to believe Huerta is sparring for
time. 1t Is said he is greatly inter-
ested and anxious for additional in
formation. The wording of the re-
ply is said to indicate Huerta Is seek
ing better terms but at the same time
keeping negotiations in progress un-
til he decided whether to resign the
presidency,
Owing to Huerta's latest communi-
cation. the president has arranged to-
day for a conference with Chairman
Bacon of the senate foreign relations
committee. Under the circumstances
he wishes to emphasize his decision
that there is to be no removal of the
embargo against shipments of arms
into Mexico. The president believes
this would inflame the anti-American
feeling in Mexico.
So long as Huerta continues to con-
slider mediation and treats Lind cor
daily, the administration will afford
the Mexican dictator every opportuni-
~ to join in a peaceful settlement.
Huerta's latest note already is suf-
ficiently translated to make certain
that it opens the door further for
friendly negotiation. 1t recites the
federal military successes and claims

duces ticket for Detroit, which he

back to New Hampshire, not New
