Latins and Yankees
Exchange Compliments

Buenos Ayres.-The University of
Argentine conferred the honorary de
gree of doctor of laws on Colonel
Roosevelt. In an address Estanislao
Seballos, ex-prime minister, eulogized
the ex-president Of the United States
and his policy toward Panama. The
ex-premier said eventually the United
States must dominate the Caribbean
sea, otherwise the republics in that
vicinity would invite European inter
vention.
Senior Seballos declared the homage
done by Argentine to Canning was un-
called for and suggested that the name
Of Canning, given to a street in
Buenos Ayres, should be changed to
that of Monroe, who saved the indie
pendence of all America. He declared
that nowadays the Argentine republic
did not accept the protection OF the
Monroe doctrine, but it did accept the
doctrine of Pan-Americanism. This
did not mean hostility to Europe, how
ever, as that continent supplied Inn
migrants and capital to the country.
Colonel Roosevelt, In his reply, rec
ognized that Argentina did not need
the protection OF the Monroe doctrine.
I'VE should have regard for Eu-
rope" said the ex-president, ssbut
above all we should be citizens OF our
own countries. always WIN denounce
revolutions In countries where the
people are unable to govern them
selves"

Advice to Fruit Growers
Given by Government

washington, D. C.-Two depart
ments Of the government Wednesday
gave advice to American growers and
exporters Of fruits. The department
of agriculture advocated specializa-
ton in fruit producing while the de-
partment of commerce urged more
careful methods in marketing abroad.
CAS- the business aspects OF fruit
growing receive more definite recog-
nition," declares the department OF
agriculture, quoting from its year
book, varieties will be planted more
and more to meet particular condi-
lions and for special rather than for
general purposes. The department
looks on the future of the fruit indus
try with an optimistic eye. 1t be-
lieves that new and better varieties
better adapted to commercial needs
will be developed" as the market de-
mand increases.
The department Of commerce, in a
special bulletin, also looks on the
fruit industry with confidence in its
future. The bulletin deals with the
several kinds Of fruits mostly in de-
mand in the various nations, but the
department adds:
"Of more vital Importance, however,
to the grower, packer and exporter Is
the detailed information given In the
bulletin as to kinds of fruit and size
of packing preferred, prices for native
and foreign products, supply and de-
mand, tariff charges, shipping and
packing hints, pure food regulations
and names Of importers and dealers"

GOVERNORS THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION ISSUED


Olympia-Governor Lister today is
sued his first Thanksgiving proclama-
ton, declaring that thanks should be
returned for the creature-comforts
that exist ''in such profusion that we
of today are prone to hold them com
monplace, with little thought or reali-
zation that we are the most blessed
of peoples" and adding:
Here in the state Of Washington
we are nearing the close OF perhaps
the most successful year Of our state
hood. We have enjoyed bountiful
crops; we have brought vastly in
creased acreage under production. We
have been free from pestilence and
free, as well, from disturbances OF
serious character, either physical or
mental"

Four Miners Buried
In Alaskan Avalanche

Valdez, Alaska.-Robert Martin was
killed and John Connolly, Warren Mel
son and E. S. Bruner we're injured in
an avalanche on the Big Four mining
claims on Mineral creek, near here.
One of the survivors was beneath the
debris seven hours.
Bruner, Nelson, Connolly and Mar
tin were overwhelmed in their tent
by an avalanche of snow that descend
ed and carried them and their tent to
within 10 feet of a 1000-foot precipice.
Bruner chopped his way out of the
debris by using part Of a whiskey
flask as knife. Naked and badly
cut, he walked a quarter of a mile
to the tunnel and procured a shovel,
with which he dug out his companions.

Extension School Big
Attraction to Farmers

Chehalis.-A record-breaking crowd
attended the sessions of the extension
school conducted here under state
college direction and the auspices OF
the citizens club of this city.
One of the principal speakers was
P. J. Kenzer, general superintendent
of the Pacific Coast Condensed Milk
company. He announced that, after
long hesitancy, the company was now
willing to buy milk from cows that
were fed food from silos, on condition
that the silage had been prepared and
fed in proper manner. The com
pany's attitude in the past had been
to discourage use Of silo prepared
food. Mr. Kenzer reported that the
company is today paying ten cents
per hundred pounds more for milk
than it did one year ago, although
the price of butter fat is lower.
The former slump in the condensed
milk market has become thing of
the past and the company is now
anxious to get all the milk possible.
Breeding Up the Dairy Herd" was
the subject Of a most interesting
hours talk by III. L. Blanchard, who
told the dairymen present that they
could well afford, some 10 or 20 Of
them together, to pay as much as
$4,000 for high-bred sire of the most
valued kind of whatever breed they
might select, from some famous fam
lily of milk stock, under the communi-
ty breeding plan.
The value Of cows giving from 5000
pounds to 5000 pounds Of per cent
milk was compared and by figures the
point was driven home to every COW
mixer present, that he should weed
out the animals that do not come
through with the amount and quality
Of milk that will pay returns in dol
lars and cents at the end of the year.

Cabinet Backs Wilson
In Mexican Policy

Washington, D. president VIII.
sons cabinet stands firmly Denmo
him in his efforts to force the retire
ment of Provisional President Huerta
as a necessary step to the pacification
of Mexico. For more than two hours
the cabinet discussed Thursday every
phase of the Mexican situation. The
concensus OF opinion was that the
United States should not take single
backward step in its programme TO
restore constitutional government In
Mexico.
It became known that all the sec
retaries favored steps which would
convince Huerta that the United
States was in earnest in its demands.
Some of the cabinet members recog-
nized in the lifting OF the embargo
on arms practical and perhaps early
solution of the difficulty, but there
was no final decision on the point.
There is hope on the part OF the
president and Secretary Bryan that a
measure so radical as permitting ex-
portations of arms may not be re-
uuired to solve the problem. In
fluences are at work which, in the
opinion of many officials, may force
the early collapse Of the Huerta re-
gime. There is a closer understand
ing and more frequent communication
between the state department here
and foreign governments generally
than has been in evidence at any time
since the Mexican problem came SO
widely international.
Through ambassadors abroad and
through the diplomatic corps in Wash
ington, Secretary Bryan is giving such
detailed information of the American
policy as to leave no doubt of what
the United States wishes accomplish
ed. So far as is known there have
been no direct requests for foreign
support, but the strong intimations
that the United States would like for
eign nations to refrain completely
from interference in the affairs of the
Huerta government are expected to
produce tangible results.
What the United States Is seeking
is an acquiescence in its policy by
the powers, such an approval to carry
with it Encouragement Of financial
aid to the Huerta regime through for
eign channels. A few weeks of finan-
cial isolation, it is believed by high
officials here, will force the retire
ment of Huerta.

chief General Venustiano Carranza'
and his cabinet, and presented to them
a definite proposal from the American
government.
What that proposal was the Ameri'
can diplomatic agent declined to say
The Mexican revolutionary leaders
also were silent, but to those who
have been anxiously awaiting the de-
velopment of the American policy
with respect to Mexico it was fraught
with possibilities for the destlnles OF
the war-worn republic and her rela'
tons with her northern neighbor.
All that could be learned regarding
the proposal of the American presi-
dent was that it was in writing and
that it required certain things, includ-
ing pledges from the constitutional
lists. in case the United States lifted
the embargo on the expectation OF
arms.
Among the guarantees demanded
were said to be restoration Of general
order in a reasonable time, safety OF
Americans and other foreigners and
the ultimate establishment of bona
fide representative government.
Into a little room of the tiny GUS
tomhouse, where General Carranza
has established his lad interim" cap
ital, the American emissary was ush-
cred to meet the chiefs of the rebel
lion against Huerta. Carranza and
. his entire cabinet were there and with
them Hale conferred, exchanged views
and impressions and consulted from
noon until the shadows grew long and
enveloped the twin towns of Nogales,
U. S. A., and Nogales, Republica de
Mexico.
Both towns unanimously decided
that the conference was the most por.
tentous event in their history.
