money to be raised. The "wets" will
experience no difficulty in a financial
way in carrying on the campaign.

GOVERNOR STANDS
BY FIRST OPINION
Thinks the State Should Go Ahead
Without Waiting for the Cen
eral Government.

That Governor West has not changed
his mind in regard to the plan of hay.
ing the state cooperate with the gov.
ernment in the Columbia Southern re-.
clamation project was gathered from his
remarks today. Despite the assurances
Of Secretary Lane that the government
will likely cooperate, the governor be,
lieves that the state should 60 ahead
and develop its project and not wait TO;
the government. He believes that it
will be impossible to carry on the work
together and it would be an injustice tn
settlers in the district to further delay
development.
The governor pointed on that it takes
the government months and sometimes
years to decide on plans for a project
and there is no reason to believe thai
there will be any change in procedure
in the present instance.
Governor West believes the dan
should be built high enough to accom-
modate the states project and if tn,
government wishes later on to develOI
its tracts an addition could be built a
federal expense.
The $5O,OOO appropriation made b.
the 1918 legislature must be used durinJ
the next two years and the governo
believes there would be no delay in get
ting the work started.

HAS HIGH OPINION
OF THE MEX|CANS
Thinks 1t Would Take Uncle Sam 25
Years to Bring Them Under
Subjection

That 25 years would be required for
the United States to conquer the peo.
pie of Mexico, should Intervention take
place is the declaration of Bishop Fran
els j. Mcconnell LII D., who spoke at
the First Methodist church last night.
Bishop Mcconnell has just returned
from Mexico where he has spent sever
al years as director of the work of the
Methodist church in that country.
Bishop Mcconnell bases his opinion
on conversations he has had with lead
ing officers Of the United States army.
"This is the opinion of the highest
officers of the regular army" said the
bishop, mot militia officers, who are
itching for fight, and who don u know
anything about war, anyhow.
"The United States army could con.
quer the Mexican armies in open bat
Tie in few days. But what would that
availl The Mexicans would immedi-
ately 60 into guerilla warfare and take
to the mountain passes. The Mexicans
are not conquered when their armies are
defeated They have absolutely no con-
cern about death and the women are
just as much unafraid as the men,"
Bishop Mcconnell spent many days
between the opposing lines, and saw
friends and acquaintances killed all
about him. He declares, however, that
the Mexicans show spirit of entire
fairness to Americans. The American
population was always warned when an
attack was to be made, and requested
to betake themselves to the safest place
they could find.
One of the curses Of Mexico, accord.
ing to the bishop, is the hold upon Ger.
tain portions Of the country by Ameri.
can corporations.
"one whole state, which is held by
an American corporation" said the
speaker" does not pay single red
cent in taxes. The American corpora.
tions are not in that state for purely
evangelical purposes. Their representa-
tives are utterly regardless of the feel.
ings of the Mexicans, and their remarks
made in casual way are frequently in.
sulting to the natives"
The speaker paid high tribute to
the American teachers who are in Mexi.
co. He gave them credit for the utmost
bravery, and also spoke in high terms
OF the bravery in times of battle of
the Catholic priests. In a school of
700 Mexican children at Pueblo, which
is under supervision of American
teachers, he declared, that in years
there have only been three cases of
smallpox, although the town is preva
lent with the disease continually HC
attributed this result to vaccination and
cleanliness, which is insisted upon and
made compulsory in the school. He de-
clared that during the war women
teachers in this and other schools were
so interested in their work that they
absolutely refused to seek safety.
