most every phase Of government policy
and an open breach between them was
regarded as a possibility. This would be
a serious complication, at a critical time.
Optimists believed there would be no
crisis in the situation today, because
OF General Huefta's action in sending
his son-in law general Luis Fuentes to
the United State Fuentes left last
night. II was reported. but not con-
iirmed, that lac was on his way to
Washington, on a mission to the United
States Government.
A member of Huerta's staff gave TO
the foreign correspondents advance cop
les Of what purported TO be the speech
lluerta would deliver TO Congress. The
address. first of all. is a defense OF HUI
erta's course as provisional president.
He tells his reasons fir dissolving the lat
Congress and assuming the dictatorship.
He says that his country faced a cri-
sis which only force and determination
could avert
The speech makes no direct refer
ence to the United States or any other
foreign power. 1t concludes:
"Messrs. Senators and Deputies. this
Is a most solemn moment in every
aspect aad one that is likely to prove
decisive for the future Of the nation.
Not only the eyes of 100000 Mexi
cans, but those of the whole civilized
world are at this time watching us.
Your attitude and your actions shall
proclaim TO your compatriots and to
looming generations whether we have
been in the right when we have insist
ed on our nationality in placing the
national dignity above the paltry in
lterests of the moment, or If, on the
other contrary, instead of devoting
ourselves to this task of supreme ma
ltional effort, we should have bent be-
fore damnable interests and niggardly
Ambitions"
The recent reception az Jnapuite-
pee Castle. given to General aad Sen
ora Huerta furnished considerable
food for reflection. After the Mexi-
can national anthem, "The Star
Sprangled Banner" was played and
/ General Huerta led the cheering. All
of the diplomatic corps were pres
ent, including Charge and Mrs o.
Shaughncssy. Huerta was effusive
in his greeting to O'Shaughnessy and
when the American national air was
lplayed, embraced the Charge.
Afterward Huerta proposed a toast
Ito the people Of the United States,
and his emphasis left the inference
that he did not include the United
States government
The caterers bill for the reception
was 100000. The Mexican govern
ment is supposed TO be bankrupt.
A government decree issued toda,
placed a tax of eight centavos on do
nestle cotton. The explanation giyeI
was that the money is needed to de
fray the expenses of extensive mill
tary operations necessary to transpor
cotton from the rebel infested Lagun
district. near Torreon. The tax i
exempted.
General Tellex, of Huerta's part
announced today that he would send
complaint to Washington agains
United States Consul Hanna at Mon
terey. He charged that Hanna ha
been favoring the Constitutionalists.

does not do the subject justice,
as the light was not favorable
when the picture was taken,
and the point where the camera
was set up was too remote
from the object reflected upon
the glass. However, it will
rive the reader an idea of the
size and surroundings of the
newest town in Okanogan coun-
ty, and one that is going to
make all other towns hump
themselves TO keep up with the
pace it is setting.
Tonasket is situated on the
east bank Of the Okanogan riv-
er, in the valley of the same
name, some Is miles south of
0roville, and on the Oroville-
Wenatchee branch Of the Great
Northern railroad. The bust
ness and manufacturing sec
ton is on the flat between the
river and the foot hills to the
east. The land rises gradually
to the eastward. This will be
the residence district, and is
beautifully situated for homes,
as the point Of vantage over
looks the town and the valley
for a long distance north and
south. The school house occu-
pies commanding eminence
in this part of town, and sew
eral residences are already I'M
der way. The school house al
ready is too small for the de-
mands for accommodations, and
the frame will be replaced in a
year or two with handsome
brick high school building. In
passing it is but fair to an en-
terprising and liberal townsite
company to state that the six
acres upon which the school is
built, including some of the
most valuable residence pro-
perty within the town limits,
was donated to the school dis
trlct. Tonasket is most admir-
ably situated in it's relation to
a thickly settled tributary
farming country, which is suf-
flclent to support a city of con
siderable magnitude. TO the

ways that are paSSaDle at all

advantage over the town that
is poorly supplied with radiat-
ing roads, or supplied with

acter, and it should be the con
slant aim Of community to
secure improvements to the
roads over which the residents
OF the country must travel to
reach such community. And
right here is where the people
OF Tonashet shine. They have
set up good roads as an idol
Of worship, and bowling before
that idol pull every string that
may III any way result in road
Improvement. What they have
accomplished in this respect is
an object lesson to other com
munlties in the county, and if
their example were followed it
would not be long before a poor
road would be an exception and

is a spirit that surmounts all
difficulties, and never stops to
weigh the costs. 1t is a beauti-
full exemplification Of the
strength of unity. We have
never seen the spirit more pre-

before. That was in old Spo-

the Spokane of today is indebt-
ed to that spirit for its present
greatness. Tonasket may new

the influences that are at work
will make it a city Of consider
able magnitude, for such in
fluences are bound to win out.
What Tonasket is at the pres
ent time is due to the energy
Of such forceful pushers as

Picken, Geo. Bailey and others
Of like kind who pull together,

FEEDING PUBLIC
BACTERIA

Washington, Oct. 24.-One great
railroad system has been furnishing
drinking water to it's passengers,
which the experts Of the public
health service have pronounced. after
ARCHAEOLOGICAL examination, to be
nothing less than diluted sewage.
Surgeon General Blue today reported
to Assistant Secretary Newton of the
treasury department that an investi-
cation disclosed that the railroad
company has been filing the water
tanks of it's passenger coaches at a
supply 800 yards down stream from
the sewage outlet of a. large eastern
city. An examination disclosed more
than $4,000 bacteria in each teaspoon
1ull OF water. The Investigators
state that the water was "turbid". had
a %"peculiar taste and was grossly
polluted.
Pending the outcome of a notice to
the railroad company to change it's
sources of supply, officials have with
held the name of the line. ,

SEED LIEN DOES NOT

Minot, N. D., Oct. ga very i'm
portant decision to the farmers Of
Ward county was handed down by
District Court Judge K. E. Leighton
yesterday when he held that seed
liens held by the county against the
Ward county farmers were inferior to
mortgages filed prior to the lien. His
contention was that the seed lien was
not Of the same class of tax as the
government or state and county tax
u was a business proposition enter
ed into by the county as a CORPORA
ton with the farmer. This question
will probably be sent to the supreme
court for an opinion, as it's prime i'm
portance to the farmers affects every
mortgage now held against them and
any prospective mortgages in the fu-
ture. An opinion by the supreme
court would solve any misapprehen-
sion that a m~ortgagor might have
concerning the worth of his mortgage,
