The Prescott daily news., 1913-08-22


 described the situation between the United States and Mexico, with non- recognition of the Huerta administra- tion as the obstacle. President Wilson is standing pat on his refusal to recog- nize the de facto government. Difficulties with Mexico were re- garded officially as more complex, but not more critical. The administration is awaiting further advices from for mer Gov Lind, while Lind apparently is awaiting further orders from Wash ington, with President Huerta declar- ing it is this governments next move. Despite unofficial reports here and fin Mexico City that Huerta had re- jected the proposed mediation plan, a report given credence in diplomatic circles here was that Huerta regarded the plan as never having been diplO- matically submitted to him. He con- tends, 1t is reported, that by failure of this government to recognize his administration he has not and cannot receive any suggestions from it. But he is willing to continue quasi-official conferences.
 Regarded as Hopeful Sign.
 This latter stand of Huerta was re- garded by the administration as the most hopeful sign in the controversy. High officials, however, feared that Huerta would obstinately refuse to en- certain any further or modified pro- posals from the United States until his administration was recognized. This is the stumbling block in the whole problem. It was denied that Huerta had submitted any ''ulti- matum" for recognition.
 In view of the deadlock it was learned authoritatively that President Wilson and Secretary Bryan were considering another conference with the senate foreign relations commit tee to formulate new course of ac- tion. If pressure from foreign coun tries for immediate action in Mexico by the United States is avoided the administration is considering wait ing" policy-to keep hands off until the regular elections. Denial of arms to both factions in Mexico also is un- der serious consideration.
 More fragments of Huerta's note to Gov. Lind were received. It was ex- pected that the entire note would be translated and laid before President Wilson by this morning. The sub- stance of the note, however, already has been given by Lind.
 Note Signed by Gamboa.
 On reliable authority it was stated that the so-called "Huerta note" was not transmitted direct to Lind, but was signed instead by Minister of For eign Affairs Gamboa, as Huertas spokesman.
 Huerta's chief contention in the note, it is reliably stated, is that the non-recognition policy of this govern ment is largely responsible for the present diplomatic and martial tur- moil in Mexico. The contention IS that the refusal of President Wilson to recognize his government has given impetus to the rebellious attacks of the Constitutionalists and other dis affected factions. That the conner cial prostration of his country and it's inability to finance it's needs also is due to non-recognition by the United States also is contended.
 Another feature of Huerta's posi- tion is that the present Democratic administration is but temporarily in power with it's non-recognition dictum, and that a succeeding administration

ODD USES OF WHALEBONE.

niSl 0bH9.
The notion is popularity held that
whalebone is derived from whales
ribs, although many persons believe
that 1t comes from the tail of the big
mammal. Both notions are incorrect
The function of whalebone in the
life OF the whale is of the utmost i'm
portnnce. The inner edges of the
whalebone plates are frayed into In
Vulnerable hairlike processes, and the
whole forms sort of sieve whereby
the whale may sift out its food from
the sea water. 1t must be remembered
that the food of this gigantic crea-
ture consists chiefly OF minute organ
isms. crustacea. mollusca. etc. floating
near the surface.
When the whale opens its mouth and
minute forms of life find their way In.
Then the whale closes It's mouth, and
the water is strained out through the
whalebone sieve. and the food is re-
tanned.

Fossil Civilizations.

Here Is a territory more than five hun
dred square miles In extent, covered with
hundreds OF feet OF volcanic tufa, elected
from the cones OF the Jemez mountains.
Through this the intermittent streams
and torrents, making their way from the
mountains TO the Rio Grande, cut deep
cauons, with almost vertical walls. BY
the action Of the winds and waters, re-
cesses were worn in the cliffs.
The earliest type OF cliff dwellings
found in the region land structurally the
most primitive homes OF men yet dis
covered in America) were made by simply
enlarging these natural cavities. Next
came the homes formed by excavating
wholly artificial-caves; the building OF
front wallis OF masonry; the building OF
front and side walls of masonry with the
rear wall formed by the cliff; and, finally,
the climax OF aboriginal architecture in
great communal houses on the mesa tops,
in the terraced pyramidal form seen in Its
perfection in the existing Pueblo COM
munal dwellings at Taos.
IL Ia evident that the evolution OF cui-
ture represented by the growth OF arcbi-
lecture from rude holes in the rocks to the
great communal dwellings on the mesa
must have required many centuries - per-
haps thousands of years. Archaeoiogically,
then, the Pajarito Park region is unsur-
passed in interest in the world on account
OF the light that scientific investigation
of the numberless ruins may shed upon
the numerous vexed questions connected
with the beginning and growth OF cul-
ture.
The Pajarito Park cliff and mesa ruins
are the most numerous and extensive
found in the Southwest; but other pre-
historic remains known as cliff ruins are
scattered widely throughout that region.
1t is probable that the numerous primi-
tive tribes that occupied these met with
a fate similar to that OF the ancient
Pajaritans conquest by and amaigama-
ton with more wariike nomadic tribes.

farms per unit of plant averaged Il
decrease.
The population in the ten years in
creased by about sixteen million per-
sons, or q per cent. Measured per
inhabitant the ton miles Of the rail-
ways increased 40 per cent and the
freight revenue 80 per cent, the pas
senger- miles 67 per cent and the
passenger revenue 61 per cent. That
is. the work performed by the rail-
ways and the money received By
them increased at very nearly tho
same rate. Measured per inhabitant
the output of the ten principal crops
ranged from decrease of 21 per cent
to an increase of 20 per cent, while
the farm value increased from 81 TO
SO per cent For example, the rela-
tive supply of corn that was 100
bushels in 1900 was 70 bushels In
1910, the relative farm value of corn
that was 500 in 1900 was $li4 in
1910. That is, while the supply of
corn per inhabitant fell off 21 per
cent, the value of the supply per
inhabtant increased A per cent. In
the same relation the supply of wheat
fell off If per cent while its value
increased so per cent.
In 1910 one thousand bushels Of
the seven principal food crops could
purchase over % per cent more of
commodities in general, and so per
cent more of transportation than IN
1900, but conversely, the purchasing
power Of rhe receipts from one thou
sand ton miles fell off 13 per cent,
and that from one thousand passen-
ger miles fell off 10 per cent.
