MARIHUANA RAID
MADE BY POLICE

Marihuana and cheap rings are alleged
to have been the weaknesses which got
Cidana Lara and RefugiO Pena in trouble
with the police Saturday night. Incl
dentally the policemen made a haul OF
marihuana smokers who fOregather IN a
Mexican house between Broadway and
Oregon lust off Sixth street. When ar
rested the Mexican woman had 80 cheap
brass and gold rings on her fingers, each
finger being covered with them. She
and Pena were held under q $500 bond
and five Mexican boys named Jesus
Lopez, Alex Fedora, Carlos PaTTas, Jose
Dallas and GuiIlermO Pasonal were held
under $25 bonds to appear IN police
court Monday. Police say a smuggling
charge may be filed against the first
two. When arrested they had bucket
filled with rolled cigarets and a quantity
of the pulverized marihuana in their
house.

and irrigation bitches offer the most
ideal location for the culture OF the
nut and IT is on ground that is going
to waste and even worse than waste
along the banks where weeds and
Johnson grass grow and drop their seed
into the water where they are carried
onto the land for miles below.
The Salt river valley has suffered
millions of dollars damage from the
pest of Johnson grass, which the
farmers seem pOWerless to conquer, for
as fast as he thinks he is rid OF it in
one place. the water plants it some
where else.

dense shade OF pecan trees I have

pecan trees growing viii remember
that the ground is perfectly bare under
them, except for the small pecan
shoots which cannot thrive unless
transplanted TO more sunlight
On my fathers place in San An
tOnia, Texas, there were several
large fine pecan trees growing along
the river bank. Our back yard an
nually grew up in weeds which 1t was
my duty to keep down. I conceived the
idea Of having Johnson grass do my
work, and at the same time furnish
forage for my pony. I got an old
negro, much to his disgust, to SOW the
place in Johnson grass and I raised
fine crop where the weeds had been
but 1t would not grow under the pecan
trees, where their shade Tell was the
Johnson grass dead line. This fact
alone should be sufficient reason for
planting pecans, aside from their
use as a shade tree and their profit
as crop. And just think OF the fun
the children and grandchildren viii
have gathering the nuts.
The demand for pecans has never
vet been supplied and the price is
constantly advancing. One Of the
largest factories in San Antonio is
chiefly devoted to cracking and ex-
tracing the pecan meat and it ships
the meat in carload lots all over the
United States 7 think the pecan is
entitled to be called the king Of nuts.

COUNTY TAX RATE

In eur article on the County
tax rate yesterday. we includ-
ed the rate for schools in our cal
culation and said the amount to be
raised was at the disposal of the
county commissioners for general
county purposes. This was an cr-
ror which should be corrected.
The county school rate is 20
cents on the 500 and the amount
raised for the schools is not under
the control Of the commissioners.
This rate deducted from the total
county rate of $l.34 cents on the
500 valuation, leaves $l.l4 as the
rate for general county purposes.
This will produce $257. $500 on
the roll as turned over by the as
SCISSOR with the 10 per cent raise
added. Add to this $40, 500 2,
the estimated receipts from licenses
and fees. and we have $29s,l5G.56
for general county purposes for
1914. Allowing $4,000 for delin-
qucncies and changes in the roll,
the amount at the DISPOSAL Of the
commissioners would be $685.

on in yesterdays article.
This correction is made to fore
stall any misunderstanding that
may arise from yesterdays article
as to the county funds at the dis
posal of the county commissioners.

GOOD AMERICAN DOCTRINE

The following extracts from
President Wilson'S speech at Mo-.
bile enunciate good American doc
trine.
| want to take this occasion to
say that the United States neyer
again will seek one foot of addi-
tional territory by conquest. She
will devote herself to showing that
she knows how to make the most
Of the honorable and fruitful terri
tory he has.
Interest does not tie nations to-
gether. 1t sometimes separates
them; but sympathy and under
standings do unite them.
You hear now of concessions to
foreigners in Latin, America. You
| do not hear of concessions to for
eign capitalists in the United
States. They are not granted con.
cessions. They are invited to make
investments.
States that are obliged to gran,
concessions arc in such condition
that foreign interests are apt tC
domin lte their domestic affairs, q
condition always dangerous and apt
to become intolerable.
| would rather belong to a poor
nation that WAS free than belong
to a rich nation which had ceased
to be free.
We dare not turn from the prin
ciplc that morality and not exped
iency is the thing thar must guide
US and that we will condonC
iniquity because it is most conven
lent to do sU.
What these states will see, there
fore. is an emancipation from sub
ordination, to foreign enterprise
and an assertion of the splendiC
character, which in spite # thesI
difficulties they have again beer

A CLEAN RECORD
IN THE CANAL ZONE

Those who have been following
the remarkable record of the work
of sanitation of the Isthmian canal,
and have watched the gradual re-
ductiOn of the death rate and the
elimination of preventable disease,
have hoped that before the mon.
umcntal work of constructing the
canal was finished it might be pos
sible for Colonel Gorgas to present
a report that would be clean as far
as d. ath from disease was concern
ed. The report of the Department
of Sanitation for the month of
August. 1913 just received, shows
that during that month there were
thirty-nine deaths from all causes
among the employees OF the canal
commissioners. or these. ore a
Peruvian, died of malaria; another
a %SpanIard. Of alcoholism and the
third q Greek, of appendicitis. The
only deaths among white Ameri.
cans which occurred during the
month YER two from violence, one
due to an accident in the quarry.
Among the l2,lSl white American
men, women and children on the
lsthmus connected with the COM
mission-that is, employees and
their families --not a single death
from disease occurred. The exodus
from the Canal Zone has already
begun; these employees whose work
has been completed are returning
to the United States with their
families. The number of American
citizens resident in the Canal Zone
will probably decrease steadily in
the future. 1t is a fitting climax.
says the Journal Of the American
Medical Association to the work Of
Colonel Gorgas, which ha. chaIlenp.
ed the admiration of the civilized
world, that the month which pro.
badly marks the high tide of Amer.
lean occupancy of the Canal Zone
should have passed without a single
death from disease in the Arneri.
