say they had seen some bonds of horsemen. One had seen a band of fifty and another had seen a band of twenty. Beyond this there is absolute ly no direct evidence that any large body of rebels have already gathered in Baja California. But it is believed in CaleXico and Mexicali implctly that Black Butte and Volcano Lake have been designated as the rendezvous and that in few days there will be a con siderable gathering of constitutional ists in that vicinity with the ultimate aim to capture MeXicali and thus add one more town to the long list held by the rebels farther east
 There appears no necessity to rush to MeXicali to see a battle within the next week, anyway. The Mexicans take their time and the well known ''manana" manners apply just as well to matters of war as to matters of business.

ANOTHER LAND AND LIVESTOCK
 DEAL OF LARGE PROPORTIONS

PRESCOTT, Aug. 27.-Announce- ment is made of the closing of another large land and livestock deal by the Hays Cattle company which has taken over the holdings of Charles Carter in Peoples Valley, for $65,00O. The seller has turned over the property to the buyer and the first payment of $20,000 has been made.
 Since entering this county the Hays syndicate has disbursed close to a quarter of million dollars in that To- cality, and the Carter transaction now gives them every ranch in Peoples Valley, with the single exception of the holdings of Mrs. Genung, with whom negotiations are said to be now pending.
 The Carter lands embraced over l. 300 acres and with the livestock in terests and the range rights, the s. is regarded as giving the purchasers the key to a very attractive property in both range and farming assets.

 The indictments of the leaders are asked on the strength of statements by many persons presented by Ar mold to the district attorneys, regard ing an alleged conspiracy to put Sul, ger out of the governors chair. In so announcing, Arnold repeated his declarations that money was freely spent to accomplish this result.

 (By J. E. Jones)
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 25.-
 By the votes taken upon the sugar schedule and other features of the Tariff Bill it is plain that the Admin istration plan will go through without hitch, and the Underwood bill will | become a law within a few weeks. Senator John Sharp Villains is en- 1 titled to credit for keeping good feel | ing alive in the Senate. Williams is | the wit of the Senate, but he insists that his humor is all argument, and | while he raps his Republican brethren sorely at times he always does it with such a beautiful preface of friendly feeling that the good nature of the members is undisturbed. Williams commented upon the maple sugar in duStry of Vermont to the effect that the sap would run" whether there is a tariff on maple sugar or not. It vas Williams who drew from Senator that he would vote cheerfully to take the international revenue off plug and smoking tobacco, explaining that ''in my part of the country it is part of the poor mans diet," and it was the same Williams who aroused Senator Penrose to denounce the secret eau cus. Then Williams replied to Pen 'ose, and suggested that it would be we'll to have the chaplain recalled for ! moment in order to render thanks 70 the Almighty God for the cOnVer- sion of the Senator from Pennsyl- yania' He continued, "In an old Ger nan story early in my life l read a sermon entitled, Satan Rebuking Sin" and to hear the Senator from Pennsylvania rebuking secrecy and partisanship is almost equal to the Devil rebuking sin.
 In the belief that the conversion was that OI Ddnl0l COul6 JO JuuSMSAI Senator Williams admitted that he could have borne the sort of lecture that fell from the lips of the Pennsyl- yania senator if it had come from Clapp of Minnesota, LaFollettee of Wisconsin, Bristow of Kansas, or Bor- ah of Idaho. But he threw up h hands when Penrose turned reformer.
 Safety Valve on Mexico
 Perhaps at no time in the history of the country has there been such 9, wonderful display of patience aS that exercised in the case of Mexico. When the news came to Washington that Huerta had rejected mediation and had again insulted the American Government, an effectual muzzle was 2ut upon every form of expression from public officials.

UNCLAIMED PATENTS
 FOUND IN LAND OFFICE

Prosecuting his search for informa tion regarding the records of his new office, Register Weedin of the land office has uncovered one hundred oi more patents to valuable Arizona lands which have remained uncalled for in the local office for different periods of time ranging from one to 40 years
 An examination of these patents dis closes the fact that most of them GOV CT some of the most valuable farming lands and promising mining claims il the state.
 In this bunch of unclaimed patents is one for lands embraced in the in cOrporated city of Tucson, which was issued by the government nearly Q half century ago, and which bears the signature of U. S. Grant, then presi dent.
 Several days ago, Colonel Weedin unearthed a goodly number of patents remaining unclaimed, a list of which was published, and he was consider ably surprised upon finding anothei filing case well filled with these valu able documents.

A decision revolutionary in charac ter, rendered by the General LanC Office at Washington on the manner of proof in desert land entries, where such entries have been relinquished to other persons, was received yester day by land office officials.
 The opinion which may have the effect of reversing decisions in a number of similar cases, will apply tC many entrymen who have made homes in the Imperial and Palo Yer de valleys and elsewhere, and will disturb the arrangements of a large number of people.
 The decision that desert land en- trymen are not to credit for improve ments put on the land by former entryman, that no expenditure can be credited on the annual proofs upon a desert land entry unless made on account of that particular entry and that expenditures once credited can not again be applied.
 Under the rule that has been ap- piled universally in the practice be- fore the local land office, credits

WESTCARD SAYS BORDERLAND
 ROUTE |S SUPERIOR HIGHWAY

TUCSON, Aug. 26.-Before resum ing his trip back to New York, w. 0 l.. Westagrd, pathfinder of the A A., said that he wished to correct tho impression which seems to be genera throughout Arizona that he is pickil out one transcontinental automobile route over which all turists will trav el in the future MT. Westgard stat ed that his business is to map and log all routes and that one route is just as much the official route as an other. His business is to collect in formation on all routes and present it to prospect .E tourists, and not to indicate to them which route they shall take. Even if he desired to make them take any certain route, it would be impossible to make them do so, as this is a free country, declared MT. Westgard.
 The pathfinder stated that by next year he expects to have five complete transcontinental routes mapped and logged, four already having been com pleted. He will map every road in Arizona, and ultimately in every state in the union, all of which will be pub Ished in the official Blue Book with equal prominence.
 MT. Westgard is merely gathering data on all the roads for publication in the books which his association has for sale. The prospective tourist can secure information on all the routes by which he could reach his destination and then choose the one he desires; his choice being in nc way influenced by the association which, in nine times out of ten, knows nothing of his contemplated trip.

GALLANT RESCUE FROM DROWNING
 MAY BE FOLLOWED BY 4 WEDDING

The Fl Centro Progress gives an account of a near summer drowning of two Imperial valley girls and prob able wedding of one. Following IS the story:
 Miss Mattice, purchasing agent for Imperial caunty, employed in the coun- tv auditor's office. and Miss Ross, one of the teachers in the Ell Centro schools, had a narrowing experience in San Diego bay last Thursday and count themselves lucky to now be alive.
 Miss Mattice was bathing in tht bay and became faint, going down twice before being noticed by her com

rose had been accused of "Jingoism,
 and where Senators and Represents
 tives had discussed Mexico with a
 great deal of freedom, it was notice
 able that a safety valve had been put
 upon the Members to keep down a
 compressed air pressure of 1G0-plus Senator Smith of Michigan, who had entered into criticism of the Mexican policy remarked: Somebody must have uncorked a bottle of chlorOform around here" With the patience born of a schoolmaster, President Wilson has gone straight ahead in carrying out his policy of peace for Mexico, and the good-natured Bryan has been on the job night and day, disarming crit ics who begrudged him vacation dur ing which he might make a little mon ey giving -Chatauqua lectures. John Lind, down in Mexico City,-has proven a mighty good customer for telegraph companies, and has sent as high as
 
 situation. While a part of the Mexi- can people are ready to go to war with the United States there is not the least inclination in the Capital to indulge in the pastime of spanking Huerta and his eXcitable herd. The situation is analogous to that of in- rhC have been fighting in our dooryard so long that they have mussed up the lawn.
 Secretary Bryan is Sensitive
 Secretary Bryan has been "lectur- ing' hard, making up for lost time. and it is very apparent that the crit icism aimed at him because of his statement that he could not live on $12,00O a year, has made him very sensitive. In the course of his state ment he declared that he would be glad to give up all other places in life to perform the duties attending upon his position as Secretary of State. Bryan does not say that he will not go a-lecturing, and in his determina tion to use the Chatauquan platform at times he has been sustained by Sen ator LaFollette, Senator Bristow, and the others who indulge occasionally in the remunerative pursuit when times are dull. The point that the critics of Bryan grab at is in claiming that the great Nebraskan has surrendered his independence, inasmuch as in all of his utterances he poses as the of the Administration, and agrees absolutely with all policies that are outlined by his Chief. This is new role for Bryan, whose great success with the American people has come about through his criticism of policies and doctrines in and out Of his own party. In Mr. Bryan's de fense it is said that having found the

Holy graiI' of his own political pol icies, that he is celebrating his discov- cry, by aiding his utmost in obtaining the greatest possible results through | the Administration he has joined.
 Currency Bill Will Pass
 President Wilson has secured what amounts to a pledge from the leaders of the House and Senate that the f reney bill will be passed at this ses- sion of Congress. Senator J. Hamil- ton Lewis proposed a recess for sev- eral weeks before the currency legis- lation should beconsidered. Senator O'GOrman of New York and Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska favored this course, but among the Senators con- kidering the subject practically all jOurment. The currency measure has been before the House caucus, and has been defended by some of the best party leaders, but is assailed by Henry, Hardwick, Ragsdale, and many other leading Democrats. The indications are that there will be a row over the passage of the bill, nevertheless, with the Administration back of it, the House will pass it a-flying. Chair man Simmons, who is the Administra- tiOn leader in the Senate, says that
 
 Congress will stay in session till snow flies" in order to put through the dove-tailed tariff and currency pro- gram.
 SpreckIes Comes to Washington
 There is considerable interest in the visit of Rudolph Spreckles of Canfor- mia, to the National Capital. He came to defeat, if possible, the Presi- dents nominee for postmaster of Sac ramento-the famed Thomas Fox, who is alleged to have been political boss of note. Spreckles is the gentleman supposed to have furnished most of the funds for the LaFollette president ial boom, which flOurished in the Cap ital year and half ago, and since he arrived in Washington there has been a rumor that he will be the Wis consin Senator's chief packer for 1916.
 McAdoo Captures Bankers
 The bankers of the country have been here to participate in the distri- button of the $5O,00O,OOO government deposits to be distributed in the grain growing states. President Wilson told the bankers that McAdeo's plan lis singular in being original" And he added "it is such a god thing that one would have supposed it would have occurred to somebody sooner" The western bankers delegated to Stoddard Jess of Los Angeles, the position of spokesman, and he assured the Pres ident and MT.

 Many advantages are to be derived from a concrete dam at the joint head. For one thing, it will stop more water than a brush dam. Another consideration is that it will be permar nent. Brush dams are washed out at frequent intervals.

were claimed as a basis for annual proof. As an example, A enters 320 acres and during the first year ex- bends $320, or $1 per acre, for i'm provements under the desert land laws. Then A would relinquish his claim to B, who would pay him for the improvements, and work done by the original entryman would then be credited on the entry with the effect that the purchaser would not be compelled to do any work during the first year of ownership, be- cause it had been done by his pre- decessor.
 The decision holds that not only does the law expressly require that a claimant shall file during each year with the Register, proof that the full sum of $1 per acre has been ex- pended in such necessary improve ments during such year." etc. but it provides a method through assgn- ment of the entry by which one who purchases such improvements may obtain benefit thereof The assignee of a desert land entry, however, ac- quires not only the credits but the burdens of the assignor, and the

time which he may now show in compliance with the law runs from the date of the entry, not the deed of assignment The law cannot be evaded, it's benefits secured or it's burdens escaped by making new entry.
 If expenditures made under an en- try could be credited upon a succeed ing entry, it would be possible, upon expenditure of $1 per acre, to hold such land out of the market indef- inately, thus circumventing the plain requirements of the statutes
 The opinion emphasizes the gen. eral policy laid down by the Con- missioner of the General Land Of flee, that the government is inter- ested in having desert claims improv- ed as rapidly as possible. Under the former holding it was impossible for those who had purchased relin- quishments to take advantage of the proof already made as to improve ments by the former owner, with the effect that he was credited with the work done before he owned the property and could occupy it a year without spending another cent on it.

Red Manship, the governor very soon
branched off on the subject of edu-
cation, and repeated his we'll known
views on tle compulsory form. He
reiterated his statement made many
times before that he is opposed to
compulsory education, first, because
he believes that it was not intended
that a man and wife should be forced
to manage their children, and, second,
because the State of South Carolina
is not in a condition to change, since
some of the schools are now able to
run only five weeks in the year.
He referred to the one-mill passed
at the last session of the legislature
as nothing" and expressed the belief
that all of the money had gone to
city and graded schools.
After the address of welcome and
the response this morning an excel
lent barbecue dinner was served in
the grove, the Red Men and their
friends who are not members OF the
order enjoying the feast to the utter
most.
The extreme heat today may have
kept a great many people from at
tending the exercises, still the crowd
is a large and representative one. AS
ANNOUNCED on the program only fra
ternal subjects were to be discussed
but this did OF prevent pretty fair
sprinkling of those Sho like the po-
litical game from attending. OF
course there was political talk on the
streets and under the shade of the
trees.
A number of we'll known citizens
from adjoining co;,nties helped to
make the day success. The Hon.
Joshua Ashley headed delegation
from Anderson and Abbeville coun-
ties, and, as usual, Citizen" Josh
was the center of attraction in many
crowds all day. Supervisor J. Mack
King, of Anderson county, Mr.. Fred.
H. Dominick, of Newberry, and many
others of more or less prominence
we're in attendance.
