thousand children were thus received in
1905 Most of them are placed out in the
country or smaller cities with farmers or
artisans of good character and in mod
crate circumstances. Five reformatories
have been established for delinquent or
absolutely unruly children. They have
room for y thousand inmates. who live

Huerta took direct issue with the state
nient which had been one Of the premises
of President Wilson's appeal for media
! ton. to the effect that the constitution
alist movement in Northern Mexico is
really formidable and of sufficient
strength to justify the United States IN
regarding Mexico as being In a state Of
war. where American lives and property
could not be adequately protected by the
de fscto government.
The Mexican President declared that
the revolution was really OF inconsider-
able proportions already. and that II
was rapidly being extinsuished by the
continued victories of the Federal troops.
He stated that his government was able
that the United States should treat with
him on this footing.
That part of the reply received yester-
day contained new references to the ma
tional feeling of Mexicans against OUT
side interference in the affairs OF the
country. Huerta expressed his confidence
that an overwhelming majority of the
people of the republic regarded him as
their lawful ruler and desired his con-
tinuance in power. Throughout the note
there appeared to run the idea that rec
osnition Is the oniy OASIS On ~nich SUI

In contrast with TINS aspect OF tns
Mexican note there stood the authorita'

THIS is NO DREAM. NEIGHBOR.
Mail Order Towns Soon Lose Their
Atractiveness and Spirit.

Very much is heard nowadays about
the increased and increasing cost OF
living. Prices for many things, par
ticularly food of nearly every kind,
have been rising steadily for thirteen
years.
The general level of prices for food
stuffs has risen 50 high this summer
that the flood has broken over its
banks, and the United States govern
mcnt is taking a hand in trying to
check it,
The matter simply boils down to
this: here are too many people IN the
large cities and too few people on the
farms and in the small cities and
towns. The tendency OF the age is
toward the swelling OF city popula-
ton and the shrinking of country pop
ulation.
In some States there are many
abandoned farms. In all States there
are splendid areas OF fertile land un-
cultivated Thousands OF farmers own
a great deal more land than they
need They cultivate but small part
OF their holdings. leaving the rest idle.
Farmerss boys migrate TO tn CITIES
like birds-in flocks Young men and
women and older persons, too, leave
the towns and go to the cities because
the towns offer them less and less in
ducement in the way OF employment
or business. And Why
Here's where you should stick your
pin. is because millions OF farmers
families fail TO help support their
home towns properly by trading with
the local merchants. They buy great
deal of their clothing. household
goods. even groceries. from the mail
order houses.
Back to the farm is the sensible
slogan for the crusaders against high
prices to use Populate the farms.

PULLMAN COMPANY WILL PAY
ALL TAXES.
Dismisses Suit in U. S. Court and
Agrees to Pay Up.

District Attorney Carville, OF Elko
county, received this week Thursday
letter from the Pullman Co. stating
that the company would dismiss the
suit now pending i'll the United States
District Court at Carson City, and
would pay the taxes of 1912, amount
ing to 81 $50 20. and the taxes of the
present year, and that vouchers for
this amount were being made out and
would be mailed at once.
This settles an important suit that
threatened to tie up several thous-
and not only affects Elko county, but
all the counties through which this
company operates its cars. Last sum
mer when the assessor of White Pine
county made the assessment of he
Pullman company, they refused to
pay, and in order to enforce payment
the assessor chained wheel OF one
of the sleeping cars to the ratck. This
method was effective and payment was
made at once. but in order TO forestall
similar action on the part OF the as
SCISSORS of the remaining counties the
company brought suit in the Y. ).
District Court at Carson. obtaining a
temporary Injunction of the remaining
counties, Elko. Mineral. Nye and Es
meralda, against the collection of the
taxes until the case could be tried.
Some weeks ago Assessor Weathers
received a communication from the
company, offring to pay the two as
sessments providing the amount OF
the delinquent tax was taken off. MIR
Weathrs referred the letter to Dis
trict Attorney Carville. and after some
correspondence. the agreement was
reached as above stated-Elko Free
