Here is the way the New York
World looks on the present plight OF
the Mexican dictator.
Huerta Close In striking once
To His Doom. more the attitude Of
defiance. Huerta mer-
ely shows again how desperate is his
position. In forcing the resignation
of the latest member Of his cabinet
who has dared TO advise moderation
he merely again informs a watching
world Of the rapidly contracting
bounds Of support amoug his own
chosen followers.
In conyening the Illegal congress
which It had suited his purpose tc
recognize. he secured obedience only
from chamber Of deputies that hal
been packed with members OF his own
staff andoffice- holders of his personal
creation. The senate failed to meet,
as he had ordered What It may DO
later makes little difference. Thr
elections which Huerta declared in
valid as regards the presidency. be-
cause too few precincts took part in
the voting, cannot be made regular
IN respect to Huerta's congress by any
grotesque logic OF a dictator who
knows the end of his power Is near.
With the capture Of Juarez by the
Constitutionalists and their possession
Of the northern states, the richest
part of Mexico. Huerta's boast that he
will raise an army of 100000 men and
proceed with the pacification OF the
country is farcical. In military way
he has steadily been losing ground. He
never had less reason to hope for
moral or financial support from any
quarter in Europe. He cannot borrow.

BONDS AT POPULAR SALE.

the denomination Of the bonds at the

FROM THE PEOPLE
DECLINES NOMINATION.

Pendleton, Ore. Nov 81.
Editor East Oregonian:
In one of last evenings papers
notice that the firemen of Hose Co
No. have placed me in nomination
for fire chief, and if you will grant
me use of a few lines of your valu-
able space would like to thank them
for the compliment and for the good
will they have shown in even thinking
of such a thing. And while | fully ap-
preciate the honor they have bestowed
on me, | must also decline to even
allow my name to be placed on fire
mems ballot. I do this for several
reasons The chief one is that 1 would
make a very poor chief. My place of
business is too far away from central
headquarters; my residence almost a
mile farther. and / have always con
tended that n chief should be one of
the first at a fire.
Next reason and probably most i'm
portant is that as a member of the
city council | would not be eligible
for the office of chief. And still an
other reason is that think when the
department Is reorganized that the
chief should be one Of the paid fire
men and not one Of tine volunteers.
And of course II is out OF question
for me to ever become a paid fire
man either in Pendleton or elsewhere
as / would not be physically capable.
SO assuring the boys again that, re
gardless of anything that has hap.
pened, that they have my good will
at present, same as in the past. and
that there will always he a warm place
in my heart for the Pendleton volun-
teer fire department. / beg to remain
their friend.

sold. Chicago sold $4,000 worth OF
the cumbersome $1,000 issues in a

If Chicago will give the people half

Bonds that are to be sold to the
people should be in small denomina-

CAN'T BLUFF MAYOR.
AtchisOn's Executive Stands Pat on
Former Action.

Atchison, Kan, July 14.-Not even
the state of Kansas can bluff Mayor
G. G. Finney from the stand he has
taken to redeem AtchiSOn city bonds
due July 1, with new bonds bearing
4 per cent. interest.
eff the officers of the state school
fund board, which board holds SIT, 900
of Atchison's bonds, now due, think
the courts under the present adverse
circumstances will give them a bet
ter deal than the bond exchanges pro-
posed or will give them something
that will in a measure appease the
howl of the bond brokers and bank
ers, who fear the influence of the
ate. they have the courts for redress
said Mayor Finney in commenting on
the report stating that the state
school fund board was demanding cash
for its bonds.
1--WE will take no other settlement
than the exchange of good 4 per cent.
bonds for the 4 per cent. bonds now
due. unless compelled to by law.
when the times comes when 1 can
legally levy such tax, which will not
be until next month, will levy a good
liberal sinking fund tax. AS far as
lies in my power. all bond holders
will be treated alike and will receive
the same rates of interest.
1.-The former administration has
left this big debt on my hands with
no provision for its payment and we
have nothing more to fear from the
state board than from the other bond
holders. The bond holders themselves
are not giving US any trouble, but the
bond brokers and bankers are caus-
ing the row now"

MULES SLOW TO DIE.
Only One Dies During Year-S8O in
County.

Junction City, July 1.-THE value
of farms and permanent improvements
on them in Geary county is $8,781, 945,
and the implements used in farming
them are worth $142,2S2, according to
the abstract of the county treasurer's
report, which has just been com
pleted. Only one mule died in the
county during the year ending March
1, which gives credence to the report
that mules are never sick. There are
$50 mules in the county. Although
sheep are scarcely ever seen, the re-
port gives the number at 245. The
wool clip in 1912 was LOO pounds,
and the value of wool marketed was
1924, showing a good profit on the
amount invested. Twenty sheep were
killed in the county by dogs during
the year, and two were killed by
wolves.
The poultry and egg output for the
year ending March 1 was $751; SIS. Cat
tie raising was a profitable industry
during the year and the value of ami
mails fattened for slaughter was $780,
$50. Almost 10000 acres were plant
ed in winter wheat, but only thirty
acres in spring wheat. The corn
acreage was 1926. There are 172, 1892
acres of land in the county under
fence and 13S,S10 acres that have not
been fenced. Alfalfa claims 1888

PREPARE GROUND NOW.
Ford County Farmers Benefit by For
mer Experience.


mer Experience.
Dodge City, Kan, July 14-Ford
county farmers have learned a lesson
from their short wheat crop this year
and are already preparing the ground
properly for the crop next year. Under
the directions of G. E. Thompson,
farm adviser, the land Is being disced
as fast as the wheat is harvested. The
land will be plowed as soon as the
farmers can get the time to do the
work, probably the latter part of this
month. This will conserve the mois-
ture and prepare a good seed bed. The
seeding will be done about the middle
of September. This will give the
wheat a good start, and if next year is
dry the farmers will get a fair crop
anyway. Last year heavy SHOWS COW
cred the land all winter and furnished
moisture that produced the biggest
crop in the history of the county.
As a result many of the farmers
were careless last fall in the prepara-
ton of their ground and the drouth
this year caught them and cut the
yield. The farmers will also take pre-
caution to avoid having smut in their
wheat again next year. The seed is
soaked in formaldehyde fifteen min
utes. That kills the smut. The yield
in the county this year will average
about six bushels to the acre and some
of it will be locked on account of the
smut in it.

SAND LAW KILLS LABOR.
Denies Employment to Forty at Abb
Iene-TheY Ask Suspension.

Abilene, Kan, July 14.-Because
nearly forty Dickinson county laborers
are denied a source of income by the
much discussed sand law, passed
by the last legislature, Arthur Hurd,
county attorney, has appealed to the
executive council of the state asking
that the law be suspended in favor of
these laborers, who resort to sand
hauling when other work fails.
Since the law has gone into effect
about forty laborers have not been
able to get sand from the river with
out committing a disdemeanor, max
ing them liable to the penalties of the
law. These men haul sand when 9TH
er work runs out, and are able to
make good day wages. Several of them
appealed to the county attorney and
his petition to the executive council
followed.
