upon it, where it will have to give
sanction to the Huerta government.
The European powers are closely
watching developments in Mexico and
| in Washington, and the Withholding of
recognition of Huerta and his party
will surely bring about the downfall
of that regime in the southern repub-
| lie.
President Wilson is not perturbed
over the situation and has 1t well in
hand. The administration is of the
| opinion that its policy Is assured of
success. Huerta can not last much
| longer, for as soon as those who have
| been working on his behalf realize
| that recognition by the United States
is impossible they will drop away and
he and his party will fall
INJURY ON HORSEBACK
While IN. Glacier park, Montana, Pro-
fessor Miller met with an accident, to
which his plan to rest here and at his
ranch in Siskiyou county is partly due.
He fell forward on his saddle while
riding, and striking against the pum-
MEL fractured rib. He said that the
injury was not serious and that he felt
! only a slight pain.
| He was pleased with what has been
accomplished In reclamation work in
the three states he visited.
The reclamation projects. especially
| those in Montana" he said, where
| they are so numerous. are proof Of
the reclamation policy now in effect.
Thousands of acres have been made
productive and have made 1t possible
| for many families to establish them
| selves on lands which would otherwise
not be available Upon the return Of
| Secretary Lane and myself to Washing
| ton we will recommend changes in leg
| islation that will add to the value Of
the work
