EXODUS FROM CAPITAL OVER
Mexico City Looks for Results
From Report of Hale.

Mexico City-The American exodus
from Mexico City practically has
ceased. A score or more Americans
who arrived here Wednesday from in
terror points called at the consulate,
but made no arrangements for pro-
ceeding further. Those Of the better
classes decline to accept Storage pas
sage, but say they are willing to take
any accommodation on an American
transport, where they could feel as
sured of sanitary quarters and proper
treatment. Consul General Shanklin,
however, has not received any intima-
ton that such a transport will be sent
to Mexican waters.
Mr.. Lind, President Wilson's per-
sonal envoy, has indicated that he has
no intention Of returning to Mexico
City unless assured that he could be
of service in reopening the negotia-
lions. The Mexican foreign Office has
made no move to give such assurance.
In some quarters it is thought that
possible unexpected developments may
follow the arrival Of William Bayard
Hale in Washington, where he is un-
derstood to have gone to lay some
new phase of the situation before the
administration.

ONE TOWN WIPED OFF MAP
Livestock Perishes, Bridges and
Buildings Wrecked.

Charlotte, N. C.-Scenes of desola-
ton mark virtually the entire North
Carolina coast as the result of hurri-
cane which struck this section Friday.
Dispatches just coming in over the
makeshift lines of communication in
dictate that the town of Bell Haven
was wiped off the map, while town of
Washington, N. c., not only suffered
from the wind, but also lost heavily
by flood. The loss in Beaufort county,
in which Washington is situated, alone
will exceed So, 900, 900, it is estimated.
Bridges were swept away by the
high waters and the wind at Washing
ton, where buildings crumbled under
the fury of the blast, as, they did at
Morehead City, Oriental, Bayboro and
other smaller towns.
At Newbern streets were inundated
and thoroughfares lined with debris.
The damage in that city alone prob
ably will exceed 100000. To add to
the terror of the citizens, fire broke
out during the tempest and was con-
trolled with difficulty. Two railroad
bridges, one of them mile long, were
swept away.
In Aurora Is houses were destroyed
and more than 200 cattle and hogs
were drowned and their carcasses are
lying in the streets, serious menace
to the public health.

HARVESTING WINTER WHEAT
Crop This Year in Lincoln County
Will Be Largest Ever.

Harrington - This season Lincoln
county is harvesting more winter
wheat than ever before. The yield
will easily exceed the yield from the
spring wheat and as a result many
farmers who have not made habit of
sowing in the fall are planning to do
so this fall.
County Agriculturist Will ]. Jones
is encouraging this method of farming
among the farmers of this county.
He says: "When successfully grown,
winter wheat possesses many advan-
tages over spring wheat, such as bet
ter distribution of labor, earlier ma
turity, greater drouth resistance and
greater yield. Although winter
wheat has not been extensively grown
here and much of the experience in the
past has not been satisfactory, still
there has been success enough to
prove that, if properly managed, win
ter wheat will be a safer and more
profitable crop for the farmers of this
county than spring wheat can be-"

BRING MACHINERY FOR FAIR
Silo Exhibition To Be Of Special
Interest to Farmers.

Spokane Machinery row at the In
terstate Fair is the scene Of great
activity, although the fair is nearly
two weeks off. The Keystone Driller
company is installing two carloads
of machinery for demonstration pur-
poses, while several other companies
are arranging exhibits. The silo com
panies will be well represented with
modern silo buildings built by the In
terstate Silo, Pacific Silo and the Spo-
kane Seed companies. The silo bust
ness has become Of great Importance
in the Inland Empire.
Two late corners to machinery row
are the Idaho National Harvester COM
pany, which took a 5Ox5O foot space,
and the Parlin- Orendorff company,
which took 45x1O0 feet.
The fair management also began
work on the large convention building,
a temporary structure to be near the
cattle barns. It will be the scene of
the AID club aster show, the Northwest
Poultrymen's convention and the
Northwest Dairymen's congress.

REFUGEES FEAR MASSACRE
Americans Declare Sentiment Not
Turning in Huerta's Favor.

Americans Declare Sentiment Not
Turning in Huerta's Favor.
San Francisco-Of the 120 passen-
gers who arrived here on the Pacific
Mail liner City of Para, half are ref
ugees from Mexico who brought new
stories Of murder and pillage in the
troubled country.
]. C.. Ingram, who was United
States vice consul at La Paz, arrived
with his family. He said while there
had been no fighting at La Paz, condi-
tions were altogether unsettled and
Americans should heed President Will
sons warning and get out as quickly
as possible.
A majority of those who left Mexico
believe that Intervention by this coun-
try would mean massacre of Ameri-
cans and others who are forced to re-
main. They contradict reports that a
wave of patriotism and adherence to
Huerta is sweeping over the country.
When the City Of Para sailed from
Mazatlan week ago it had to leave
behind more than hundred Ameri-
cans for whom there was no room on
the vessel.

HARVEST HALTs; NO HORSES
Scarcity Of Animals Declared Due
to Heavy Sales in Spring.

Davenport - Wheat hauling, road
york and other summer activities are
being held up by inability Of farmers
and contractors to secure sufficient
live stock to move the crops and han
die other operations. Many farmers,
all directions from Davenport, who
usually have hauled wheat during
August and September, are without
horses.
The Spokane Asphalt Macadam Paw
ing company installed a second crush
or on the state road contract south OF
Davenport but were unable to operate
It for lack of teams, though the COM
pany offers Sc a day for team and
man.
County Engineer J. L. Thayer dur
ing the week despaired of getting
teams to haul bridge timber to Candy,
ten miles south, and finally, after
vainly offering So day for four
horse team, informed the ranchers
most interested in the improvements
that they would have to find means or
do without the bridges. Scarcity OF
live stock is attributed to large private
sales the last spring. Many horses
have been shipped to the J nber COM
panies in Idaho.

BEAUTY IS NOT TO BE ISSUE
TOuchet Baby Show to Be on Eu

Touchet Baby Show to Be on Eu-
genie Lines Strictly.
Dayton-The better babies contest,
which is to be special feature of the
Touchet Valley fair, is arousing a
great deal of interest among physi-
clans, clubs and parents. The funds
for the contest are being furnished by
the Fair association; it is being con-
Quoted by the Draper club, of this
city, and local physicians have con-
scented to cooperate.
This is not a beauty contest, but one
Of mental and physical attributes.
The babies are to be examined by
the doctors, and an accurate score Of
adequacies and deficiencies will be
kept. Any child scoring less than IS
points will be eliminated from the list.
The entrance number must necessar-
lily be restricted to so, and it is
thought that the list will be completed
the first few days of registration.
The final test for the best babies
will be made during the fair and mon
ey prizes will be awarded to the win
ners.

CHEHALIS HOP YIELD Is GOOD
Yards Well Supplied With Pickers,
Who Get 81 Box.

Chehalis -Hoppicking has begun in
many of the yards Of the district.
Some growers of the Cowlitz valley
began last week. So far as learned
there are plenty of pickers.
]. C. Bush, who is in charge Of the
1OO-acre Pincus yard two miles west
of this city, said that he was obliged
to turn pickers away; that he had
never seen a year since in the early
'9Os, along about 1893 and 1894, when
so many people, including men, women
and children, are after work picking
hops. There are few Indians pick
ing near here, but these were secured
in advance, as it was feared there
would be scarcity of whites.
Growers are paying 81 box for
picking. The hops are of splendid
quality and the yield in most yards in
the Chehalis district is above the aver
age for size.

HUERrA OFFERS COMFORTS
First-Class Passage to Americana
Special Trains If Needed.

Mexico City-Neither the American
embassy nor the Mexican foreign Office
appears to share the optimism OF
Washington officials regarding the
early solution of the difficulties be-
tween the two nations. At the en-
bassy it was said Saturday that no
communication had been received from
Mr.. Lind in three days. Senior Gam
boa, the foreign minister, seemed
equally ignorant of any further inter-
change tending toward a settlement.
The foreign minister's attitude ap-
parently has not changed since the de-
parture of Mr.. Lind from the Mexican
capital and he reiterated that he did
not expect any further negotiations
unless the administration at Washing
ton saw fit to submit a rejoinder to his
last note in which he pointed out the
ineligibility of General Hureta as a
presidential candidate, and Withdrew
the suggestion of resumption OF full
diplomatic relations between the two
countries. That, he said, still is the
attitude of Mexico.
President Wilson's warning to
Americans to leave Mexico has called
forth a declaration from General HUI
erta in which he gives assurances OF
safety to Americans under any circum-
stances, even in case of Intervention,
so far as the Mexican government IS
able to afford protection, and an offer
to aid those desiring to leave by af-
fording special trains to the ports and
making good the difference between
the price of steerage and the class of
passage to which the refugees aspire.
ssThe personal sentiments of the
constitutional interim president Of the
republic" says the declaration, ito
ward citizens of the United States re-
siding in this country are benevolent
and just to the extent that, their gov
eminent having recommended without
justifiable cause that they leave the
country, and while lamenting the dis
position which caused alarm, as well
as the fact that many Americans have
decided to leave the country, the Pres
ident has resolved to recommend to
the proper authorities-in view of the
fact, as stated in the newspapers, that
the government of the United States
finds it possible to furnish only third
class passage-that they offer in a
spontaneous and kindly manner to
cover the difference which exists, and
even provide free special trains and
gratuities, to the end that the Ameri-
cans arrive in their country with
greater comfort and means than those
which they otherwise would have"

BOGUS INSPECTORS ARE OUT
Make Fat Profits Testing and Re
pairing Scales.

Olympia - According to reports to
Secretary of State I. M. Howells, who
is ex-officio head of the state weights
and measures bureau, a number Of
sharpers are making fat profits by
travelling through the state represent
ing themselves as Estate scale inspect
ors'' and finding fault with scales in
grocery stores and meat markets and
charging big fee for repairing them.
The state has no inspectors out and
representatives that will be put out
later will have no authority to take
money and will be provided with bad
ges and other proper certificates Of au-
thority," stated Secretary Howell.
Merchants should not allow them
selves to be victimized by bogus in
spectors, who will be prosecuted if
continuing their tactics -

HOLD SESSIONS ON STEAMER
Public Service Commission Initiates
Alaska Courts.

Olympia-The public service COM
mission, which has just returned from
a trip on the Upper Sound, has been
holding sessions modelled after the
floating federal courts of Alaska. I'm
able to finish hearing on wharfage
service case ashore, commissioners,
attorneys, reporters and witnesses ad-
journed to the steamer Kitsap md

stops at nearby wharves other wit
nesses were taken on board and the
hearing was completed before Seattle
was reached.
The rules recently issued tentatively
by the public service commission, pro-
viding a uniform system of account
ing for water companies throughout
the state, will be ordered adopted
practically without change. A public
hearing was held at Seattle.

MALE ATTIRE IS ALLOWABLE
California Judge Says Women May
Dress rs They Please.

jacksonville, Cal. "A woman has
the right to dress the way she
pleases," declared Justice Rohrback,
Of jacksonville Junction, in Diminishing
the case against Mrs. Lottie Ham,, Of
San Francisco, arrested on q charge Of
masquerading in male attire. The
vagrancy charge against her husband,
Henry Ham,, was also dismissed at the
same time.
1t was while the officers were
searching the pair for concealed weap-
ons that it was found one Of them was
a woman. She brought out mar
riage license to prove that she was the
wife of her companion.
When taken before Judge Rohrback,
the woman told story of hardship and
poverty which greatly moved the spec
tators. They were married in San
Francisco two years ago. and for q
time everything went well III the
family. Then Hanz lost his position.
sickness came and all their savings
disappeared. Two months ago he was
discharged from the hospital, helpless
and penniless. Then they decided to
walk to San Diego, where relatives
had promised help. They were weary
and footsore when they reached this
city. They went on their way re-
joicing after Judge Rohrback heard
their story.

'fBet-a-Million" Gates, was in Kansas
City 10 minutes Saturday, long enough
to spend few hundred dollars. AL
though no one reported that the mil

did in Minneapolis short time ago,
one "red-cap" at the union station
showed his fellow workers crisp $40

him for getting newspaper.
He also shuf1ed off SITS for spe-

Break in Washington Drouth.

Seattle - The soaking rain of last
week in Western Washington, the
first since June, brought to close one
of the longest and most dangerous for
est fire seasons in the history of the
state, the rainfall since January
having been more than six inches be-
low normal. The Washington Forest
Fire association reports that larger
area of logged-off land was cleared for
agriculture during the last summer
than in any preceding season, but the
fires were not permitted to attack
green timber. Some logging camps
and small mills were burned, but the
financial loss from the fires was incon-
siderable. The loss of life caused by
the fires was three persons crushed by
falling stubs. Large tracts of land
are yet to be burned over this fall,
when the work may be done with
safety.

Beaufort, N. C.The storm which

all wharves for distance of 25 miles
had been destroyed, several houses
blown down and hundreds of cattle and
horses drowned. No lives were re-
ported lost. Many small craft in
Beaufort harbor capsized or were
smashed against wharves or the break
water. There has been no news from
the sea, the wireless station being out
of commission.
