tuNIrrD PRESS LEASED wlRr.l

Washington, Nov, 22-Secretary OF
State Bryan issued today forceful de-
nial of the published statement that the
Washington government has protested
against the dispatch Of British fighting
ships to Mexican waters. He made it
clear that the falsehood was but one Of
many circulated by a certain group of
newspapers, apparently with view to
hampering the administration in its
efforts to settle things in Mexico by
peaceful means.
1t was learned from a reliable source
that President Huerta drinks heavily
and that his frequent attacks Of true.

alcoholic irresponsibility.
Rival oil interests in Mexico having
fallen to reviling one another, it was
hoped in Washington that Mexicans

Of coming up to expectations, and re.

already been bound over to the grand

Not true bills were returned in two Of

Letters From Kansas and Else
where Tell of Interest in

HIGH COMPLIMENTS PAID
All Agree That Nowhere in Travels
Have They Found Conditions So
Nearly Ideal as Here.

With that everlasting good name of
rural prosperity continuing to apply to
the Capital City, and every mother s
son in the city lending a boosting hand
at the present time, the general trend
of affairs is upward.
Not only are the Salem people con
tent with their lot, but, others are cast
ing generous eye in this direction
others with money in their jeans, and
who claim to be tired of freezing in the
winter and being roasted alive in the
summer states that could be mentioned.
About the latest person to look upon
Salem as the bright and shining light
Of the universe is Mrs. Mamie Quein,
Of Sedan, Kansas. Mrs. Quein visited
Salem last September, and this is what
she writes to Secretary Bynon, Of the
Salem Commercial club.
"When visited your stores and
fair grounds, and saw the abundance Of
vegetables and fruit, thought it al
most impossible to make people in this
drouthy country believe what had
seen. visited several towns in coun-
ties in Utah and Colorado but saw
nothing that seemed so good to me as
Salem and vicinity. In these counties
in the Middle West ] found many peo-
pie ready to go to the beauty spot Of
the Pacific coast, Salem, Or, and am
interested in your city very much, "
This is but one Of the many high
compliments paid recently to Salem by
enthusiastic visitors who looked over
the city during the state fair. The
writer of the above communication is
thoroughly eonversant with farming
conditions, not only in her own state,
but in Oregon and other states, and
that she will soon be resident of this
city remains without saying, if her
praises for the Capital City counts for
anything.
