Presidents Stand BeCIoudS
MexiCo'S Financial Situation
Since Leading Men See No
Other Way Out.
FORMER N0TRE DAME
MAN HAS STAR PART
General Eduardo Hay to Act as
Spokesman in Washington
For ConStitutionaIiStS-
Faith in His Argument.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Oficial
Washington read with keen interest
Sunday the declaration of Aureliano
Urrutia, the Mexican minister of in
terror, that Provisional President
Huerta would not resign and more
over would brook no interference on
the part of the foreigners in his ad-
ministratiOn.
While no plan that the American
government has had under serious
consideration involved any direct in
reference in Mexican affairs, the ad-
mitted attitude of the administration
here is one of unalterable opposition
to the recognition of the Huerta
regime.
without the recognition of the
United tates, leading MeXicans have
hitherto claimed Mexico would not
be able to eXtricate itself from its
financial difficulties. On this account
it had been believed here that pres
sure would be brought TO bear to
persuade Provisional Pres. Huerta to
resign. The announcement that he
has determined not 10 do SO. has be-
clouded the situation somewhat and
has spurred the constitutionalists to
further activities TO obtain the repeal
of the embargo on arms. They claim
that if they do not get arms, the
revolution will be a protracted strug-
gle. With munitions of war, they
say they can quickly bring matters
TO a crisis.
Hay, Notre Dame Man.
Gen. Eduardo Hay, who has been
selected by the conStitutionalistS as
their spokesman, is now in Washing
ton and will present this view to the
senate foreign relations committee
taken part in many battles, Hay is
familiar with the military situation in
Mexico and is prepared to answer all
questions as to the aims and aspira-
tions of the revolutionists. Hay first
came into prominence during the
Madero revolution, when as young
engineer of Scotch Mexican parent
age, educated at Notre Dame univer-
sity. he took up arms against the
Diaz government. He distinguished
himself in many of the early battles,
especially at CasaS Grandes, Chihau-
hau, where he led a famous charge in
which he was wounded several times
and lost his left eye. He was taken
prisoner by the Diaz troops but made
his escape from a federal hospital
under sensational circumstances. He
was one of Madero's chief officers
and later was elected to the Mexican
congress, being chosen speaker of the
chamber of deputies for a short term.
Faith in Hay.
The constitutionalists are pinning
much faith in the argument Hay will
make before the foeign relations
committee as he speaks English well
and is as conversant with the liberal
movement in Mexico as any of their
number. He came to Washington re-
Gently from Sonora where he assisted
Gen. Obregon in mis- successful cam
paign against Gen. Ojeda.
Secy. Bryan was at his desk in the
state department Sunday but report
ed no advices from Mexico. He said
he would remain here Monday at
least and was not certain when he
would resume his lecture engage
ments.

The decision of Judge Davis, of
Boise, upon the question of fore
closure proceedings on Carey act
lands, is most far reaching and has
caused no end Of discussion on the
part of those interested. He holds
that before foreclosure upon the
land can be had the United States
must be made party defendant to
the suit, inasmuch as the title to
the land still vests in the govern
ment until patent issue to the state
and the irrigation works are COM
pleted, but that even then foreclos
ure cannot lie for deferred payment:
beyond the actual cost Of furnishing
water and reclaiming the land, plu
a reasonable interest on the money
but not for any profits that the irri
CATION company may have made b,
reason of such reclamation. Thi
does not prevent foreclosure tn
court holds, upon the water righ
itself, but the important point t
the irrigation companies is that'th
ruling of Judge Davis will preven
such companies from getting fe
, simple to lands foreclosed upo
under their projects so that the
, may sell to any purchaser they de
sire, or hold the land themselves

NOT CONSISTENT.

The Twin Falls papers are not
consistent in their references to the
result of the local option election in
Lincoln county. Last week one OF
the papers bewailed the fact that
this section would now be infested
with a low element that would give
the officers no end of trouble. Twin
Falls has been dry territory for the
past several years, yet, from reports
received from there, they must have
been infested with some OF this low
element that they have so much
concern about invading Lincoln
county now that it has gone wet.
The same week another OF the
papers there, speaking editorially OF
the moral condition of Twin Falls,
says:
"From the number of unsavory
incidents which have occurred IN
this city, it would seem necessary
for the city to put more restrictions
ON the transient class and, when nc
visible source of income can bt
shown, give the men OF that class
over as vagrants and run them out

CAREY ACT DRAWING.

The first opening of Carey land
in Idaho for several years is sched-
uled to occur at I.eadore in Lemhi
county next Monday, June l6. The
opening will be held under the
active supervision Of Registrar Jen-
ess Of the state land board. There
are only 1000 acres of land, this
being the first unit Of the keating
project for which water has been
prepared.
The Keating Carey act project
which aggregates something over
1900 acres, is located south ol
Junction, and includes wonder
fully fine stretch Of high valley
which has, during the past 40 years
been paradise for stock men.
The state land board has made
contract with the keating company
providing for a price of $50 an acre
for water rights, the first paymen
when filing is made being 50 al
acre and there being nine additiona
like payments, the first deferre'
payment becoming due on May |
1916. This gives the entrymal
nearly three years after filing befor
any further payments are made.

SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

II has been currently reported for
some time that there was no end Of
grating done in connection with
the shipment of food to the Ohio
food sufferers. Several car loads
of potatoes and apples were sent
from this state with the hopes that
they would save many family from
starvation, and this locality con-
tributed its share of this consign-
ment.
1t was only a short time after the
shipment went forward that rumors
commenced TO be circulated that
the potatoes instead of being
distributed among the needy were
being sold to these sufferers. No
confirmation could be had Of this
evidence of graft on the part of some
one connected with the relief de-
partment, until recently evidence
has come To hand Of the crooked
work done. The town Of Rupert
was among others that contributed
her quota, and the persons in charge
of the shipment took precautions to
place in each sack Of potatoes a
card requesting the recipient TO in
form the dOnators in case they were
forced TO buy the potatoes. These
cards are now being returned to tn,
shippers. and they state that thu
price charged for the potatoes rangec
from 30 cents per bushel to s. q
per sack.

Under the law 20 days must elapse
from the date OF canvassing the returns |
before any licenses can be granted. The |
board took q recess until Monday, Inne
Both, when applications for licenses will
be received. The board has power to
grant licenses in the county, and it is
then up to the municipalities to grant
such licenses as they may see fit, and at
figure they may deem best.
We believe it is the sentiment OF the
citizens OF the town as well as those whe
will ask for license, that the board en-
act an ordinance that will throw the pro-
per restrictions around the traffic, and IT
is then up to the board to see that these
restrictions are properly enforced. This
in our opinion is OF more importance than
the amount OF license to be charged.

In the matter OF the Falls City High
way District, the commissioners of that
district having by resolution appropri-
ated 81 $50 for the improvement OF the
highway from the top of the Shoshone
grade to the limits of the segregation, the
county commissioners appropriated Il
like sum to be used on this thorough
fare. This includes 4 stretch OF road
about miles distance which is through
the lava rocks and is in much need OF
repair. As this route will undoubtedly
be chosen AS the official highway across

TO EXCHANGE LANDS.

The state land board was recently
confronted by the knotty problem
offered in the Twin Falls Salmon
River project, where settlers hold
ing Carey act lands located some
distance from Hollister are asking
to transfer their filings from these
lands 10 desert lands situated close
to Hollister. The issue came up
on the application Of Irene Reed
Boulton, who asked that her Carey
act entry be transferred to desert
act entry. The board deferred
definite action until later date.
Carey Act Manager S. d. Taylor
appeared before the board and made
a lengthy report on conditions as
he found them in the project. This
report proved TO be Of great value
to the state land board. Manager
Taylor stated his opposition to the
applications and such other appli-
cations as might and which will pro-
baby follow, claiming he was salts
