MOT FOR ANNEXATION

Several California newspapers
have raised the question whether th1
United States wishes to annex Mexico,
and carry the idea that Intervention
IN, plies annexation. The Press does
NOT look upon the question in this light.
Intervention would not imply anneNa-
lion. and for this country to absorb
Mexico against the will Of the people of
Mexico is not to he considered even as
I remote possibility.
Tie fact is that the world was given
10 the human race at large as an in
heritance. The first great movement Of
the human race was the dispersion of
fhe tribes in search of lands that would
support them in greatest comfort. This
has been succeeded by new movement
which is gradually assimilating the
races into a compost whole. and rs
that great movement is in obedience -
nataral law. it cannot he resisted.
For the welfare Of the Mexicans and
Ame ricans alike, they must mingle and
their industrial and commercial institu-
tions must in time become one. be
cause of the lack of natural barriers.
and this probably will in time induce
a union of the two countries polti-
eally.
The developments of the last two or
three days give hope that peace may
De restored to Mexico without inter

ease, there is no excuse for interven-
hon, but if intervention should come. il
must be with the positive understanding
that it iS simply to restore peace. and

FOR OWENS

Ricr Soil and Perfect Climate the
Reason

Every one is realizing The extent and
value Of the apple crop. They see its
great possibilities as a means of be-
coming wealthy by growing and ship
ping this always popular fruit. DaZ-
Zling as We're the prospects Of the cit
rus fruit business. the cultivation Of
apples and pears is just as safe and
profitable, with as great a market and
less risk.
This explains the keen interest thai
Is being shown by prospective settlers
Apple land that has every requisite for
the growing of perfect apples and pears
is scarce. The conditions in Owens
Valley are perfect. 1t has rich, deep
soil; is perfectly protected by noun
tains from fogs and hot dry winds that
prevail in other sections: ii is free
from pests and blight.
Such conditions are the best possible
for all kinds Of farming. Besides be-
ing the finest in the world for dairy
ing. the land can be put to potatoes.
corn. etc. that can be grown while
waiting for orchards to mature. Chick
ems and hogs are being raised with
great success in Owens Valley; honey
is another profitable product.
Owens Valley lands can be bought
at a remarkably low price, even with
such advantages. Some of the best
land in The Valley is owned by the
Owens Valley Improvement Company,
who have developed and placed it on
the market. 1t is all under an excel
lent irrigation system. Located near

APOLOGY SURPRISED ENGLAND.
Difficulty Betwer1 President and
Ambassador Regarded as DOmes-
tic.

London, August 15.-Surprise was
caused in England by the news from
the United States that Ambassador
Page had been instructed to apologize
to the British government for the
comments made on the British Mexi-
can policy by Henry Lane Wilson,
American ambassador to Mexico. The
affair had not excited the slightest at
tention.
The British newspapers had hither-
to ignored Ambassador Wilson'S state
ment, but they print it today as an
explanation of the grounds for the
apology.
Ambassador Page is not likely to
see Sir Edward Grey, the British Sc
cretary of State for foreign affairs,
this week, as Mr.. Page is attending
the Pilgrims ceremony at Southhamp-
ton today and Sir Edward expects to
go to the country tomorrow.
The Westminster Gazette, the gov
eminent organ, says:
"The difficulty between President
Wilson and Ambassador Wilson is
purely domestic and will not cause a
ripple in the relations between the
British and American governments.
President Wilson and Secretary of
State Bryan may have good reasons
of their own for not recognizing Pro-
visional President Huerta's govern
ment at the present moment, but they
will not take offence at other govern
ments which have taken g. different
course, and least of all at US in the
circumstances which have now been
disclosed"

WANTS DEATH INVESTIGATED.
w. C. Martin Takes Matter up With
Navy Department.

Anderson, August 15.-W. C. Mar
tin, of this city, has taken the matter
up with the navy department at Wash
ington asking for an investigation of
the death Of his son, Wilbur Martin,
which occurred at Philadelphia two
weeks ago. Wilbur Martin was a
sailor on the Connecticut, and was
poisoned and died in Philadelphia.
Sensational stories were tefegraphed
over the country that Martin was heir
to quarter of million dollars This
vas untrue. The young mans father
has been unable to get a satisfactory
account of his death, and the report
of Capt. Knapp, of the Connecticut,
does not throw any further light on
the matter. The verdict of the coro-
ner's jury was that he came to his
death by dose of iheroin, but it does
not appear from what source the pois-
on come. The Philadelphia papers all
give different accounts of the matter.
So, Mr.. Martin has taken the matter
up at Washington in All effort to find
cut the truth Of tie matter.
