u. S. Given Free Rein;
Must Assume Obligations

Washington, D. G. Frequent ex-
changes and conferences between the
ambassadors and ministers in Wash
ington are tending to unite them on .
line Of conduct regarding Mexico
which, while conforming to the plans
Of the United States, involves an un-
derstanding as to obligations the
American government will be expect
ed to assume as result Of her atti-
tude Of non-interference.
So far this common understanding
has not taken the form Of direct pres
sure. but the State department is kept
informed Of the expectations of the
European powers. General informa-
tion relates to the protection Of the
vast financial interests which citizens
and subjects of the powers have in
Mexico, no disposition being exhibited
of an intention to bring in the politi-
cal side of the question. In fact,
more than one of the diplomatic rep
resentatives here has informed the de-
partment that his own government
was interested in preventing loss Of
large material interests to it's citizens,
and beyond that did not care what the
United States did in Mexico, SO long
as it was informed of what was to be
done, so that it might take proper pre-
cautions for the protection of the lives
of it's citizens.
The Red Cross authorized the State
department, through Vice Consul Sim
pich at Nogales, Sonora, to draw an
additional $4,000 for use in relieving
destitute in the interior Of Sonora.
DR.. Mensendieck, the American ply
stefan now at Vaca, will supervise the
expenditure of this fund.

Declares No Oil On
Quiniault Reservation

Washington, D. C:-t'No oil has
been discovered on the Quiniault In
dian reservation in Washington" says
F. r. Archer, of Aberdeen, for some
years allotting agent at that place.
Notwithstanding the prevalence of
the belief that oil exists, know posi-
lively that none has been discovered,
nor have any indications of oil been
found on that reservation. There is
some oil on the Hob river, so miles
away, but even there it is not found in
large quantities, and there is no occas-
ion, as far as present indications 60,
to start a rush even to the Hob river. -
Mr.. Archer, who is in Washington
on various matters of interest to
Grays Harbor, had a conference with
Secretary Lane and found him firmly
of the belief that valuable oil deposits
existed on the Quiniault reservation.
The secretary had on his desk bottle
of petroleum, sent to him as having
come from the Quiniault reservation,
and he was disposed to take steps nee
essary to withhold these oil fields from
acquisition until they could be further
examined.
Geological experts who have been
over the reservation, according to Mr..
Archer, have declared that the forma-
tion is not one to indicate the probable
presence Of oil, and their geological
studies, coupled with the fact that no
oil has been discovered, lead to the
conclusion that first reports were in
error. The oil lands along Hob river
are now in private ownership and the
government no longer has jurisdiction
over them. It would appear from the
news brought by Mr.. Archer as if the
Quiniault oil boom had about petered
out. Mr.. Archer's report confirms
statements received by Senator Jones
from other sources.

Baked Beans

"A correspondent Is looking for a recipe Tor baked beans prepared AS our grand mothers did the work. May I offer mine? Ten cents worth of small white beans, 5 cents worth of nice salt pork, three fourths of cup of raw syrup, one-fourth of cup of brown sugar or half cup of white, teaspoon of salt, and pepper to taste. Soak the beans over night, drain next day; cover with hot water, and set upon the stove. Never add cold water to the beans, as it hardens them. after which no amount of cooking will make them tender. Boil until the outer skin comes off when you pick up one. Drain the beans from the kettle, put into a jar, add the above mentioned, and cover all with hot water. Bake for three or four hours. You will have to add hot water from time to time. Slice the pork, then try 1t out in a pan, then pour the pork and grease over the beans. In that way the flavor seems to penetrate to all the beans.
