All this TERRITORY was then in the
possession of the United State.
In northern Mexico, in the autE
umn of 1916, Taylor with 5000 men
moved upon and captured Monterey
after a hard struggle. Here his
position became unsafe. A force
was sent against him by Santa
An.la. then at the head Of the Mex
lean government. This army
reached him February 81, 1S47.
Taylor entrenched his army in a
long narrow pass and beat the
Mexicans back. This was the Bat
tie Of Buena Vista. Northeastern
Mexico was nov in American pos
session.
General Scott vas sent with
more than loo vessels to attack
Vera Cruz. He attacked it in
March l847 and lauded before the
city with $4,000 mrn. The navy
took possession Of the Mexican port
on the cnast and duties were col
| cted for the United States. Santa
Anna had collected an army near
Jalapa at Cerro Gurda about IL, 900
strong. In April, Scott with 5000
men marched on Cerro Gorda cap
tured five Mexican generals and
5000 prisoners. In the retreat ny
the Mexicans. Santa Anna nearly
lost his cork leg. Scott went on to
Puebla and stayed there for the
summer. In August he marched to
the valley of Mexico without re-
sistance. and thence, amidst great,
diff culties on to Mexico City and,
after the fight at Santa Anna,
marched into the city on Septem-
Der Ia, l847, and raised the flag of
the United States over the national
palace. This ended the real fight
ing and peace was later made in q
treaty known as the treaty of

It is to be hoped that his remarks
will soak in. Miss Lillian r. Cor.
win, q missionary wEo has been in
the work Of ~civilizing thu Indians
for more than two decades, and
who has been adopted by two tribes
and named by them, implored the
Washoes to do likewise. She also
talked on the moral uplift of the
Indian and asked that the whites
treat the Washes with a broad
charity.
Governor Task ,r L. Oddie closed
the program Of speeches. his sub
ject being "The Indians an Their
Relations to the State.'p He said
many of the Indians had the idea
that in assuming citizenship they
would be forced into the army. He
reass red them saying, no man,
black, brown, red or white. was
..
ever forced into such service ex-
cept in times of stress, but that
every citizen stood ready to defend
tie stars and stripes without coer-
cion.
The program closed with the TAX
ing of the oath of allegiance by the
members of the tribes, surrounding
the flag. The flag was then>raised
to the air of "The Star Spangled
Banner" A sal"te was offered by
the ~uncovering on the part of both

FOR Equal SUFFRAGE

An open air meeting in the in
terest of Equal Suffrage was con-
Quoted in front of the Commercial
Hotel last evening by Miss Mabel
Vernon OF Washington, D. C..
Miss Vernon has been sent to Ne
vada by the Congressional Union
for. Woman Suffrage 10 assist in
the campaign being conducted by
the women of this state to procure
the passage of the suffrage amend
ment next November.
A good sized crowd gathered to
hear the speaker from the east.
Miss Vernon pleaded that the fran
chise be extended to women on the
ground first of all of democracy.
We car not have a government of
the people wien all. the women,
one-half of the people, are I'M
franchised, said the speaker.
Miss Vernon chiefly begged tina
women be given the ballot that
they may be enabled to do their
full duties IS citizens. Her argu-
ment was that all thinking women
today must take an interest in the
things that most concern not only
themselves but all society and as
conditions of society are regulated
by the government, women must
nave a voice in ne government.
The speaker declared that women
are accomplishing things in the
state today by the use of their in.
fluence but experience had shown
that influence was slow in produc-
ing results compared to the power
of The ballot. Men would not re-
linquish the uower they possess
through their vote and ubstit1te
for it merely their influence in the
state, said the speaker.
Miss Vernon concluded by saying
that men notwithstanding their
good intentions c nntt epresent
the woman's point of lew and the
women can secure representation
Of their views only through the
ballot in the hands Of women.
Miss Vernon's very earnest ap.
peal was given a most respectful
and attentive hearing by the men
who gathered to hear her.
Miss Vernon is on her wa,
through the northern counties Of
the state and leaves Elko today Il
speak at Battle Mountain this even

MEXICAN WAR IN 1886

In view OF the present strained
RELATIONS between tho United States
and Mexico, the following bis ory-
of the war with Mexico Gin 1916,
clipped from the Virginia Chron.
icle, will be of interest:
Mexico claimed Texas as her ter
ritory and was displeased when it
was annexed to the United States
aft'r a successful rebellion. The
western boundary Of Texas was in
dispute, MeYico claimed it was
the Nuces river: Texas, that it was
the Rio Grande. The strip of ground
between the rive 8 was claimed by
both. These differences, it was
thought could be settled by arbitra-
ton. Mex:cans crossed the Rio
Grande. surprised and captured
Captain Thornton who was leading
a scouting party up the Rio Grande
from Brownsville by order of Gen
eral Taylor. Taylor. then moved
back to the Nuces River. with about
1000 men, to get supplies. On his
return tn Brownsville, he met and
defeated three times his number of
Mexicans at Palo Alto, after a half
days battle. Next morning Tay-
lnr, still on his way to Brownsville
met and defeated another force of
Mcxicans who we're intreUcbed be-
bind o rayine called Resaca de
Palma. He drove them across the
river and, leisurelv following, took
possession Of Mattamoras.
News of Thornton's capture
reached Washington and President
Polk sent il to Congress for con-
sideration. Congress declared war
existed by the act of the Republic
Of Mexico." This was May ID,
1916: Money was appropriated and
more than zoe, 900 volunteers offer

WASHOES RECEIVE The
FLAG At GARDNERVlLLE

The celebration of the oath of
allegiance to the flag, taken by the
Washoe tribe, was one which will
long be remembered, both by the
Indians and the whites.
Although scheduled for Saturday,
the festivities began with the arriv-
al of the Stewart school cadets,
WIN 'hiked" from Stewart to
G%ardnerville Friday afternoon.
They pitched their tents and went
into camp in Frantzen field. Dur
ing the earlier hours of the even
ing, the school band gave an open
air concert on Main street.
Saturday morning the cadets, led
by the band marched to Minden,
where they met between 80 and
80 of the girls from the school and
escorted them to the camp ground.
At 1890 the ball game between
the Stewart and Gatdnerville clubs
was called, and after nine very ex-
citing innings which we're nip and
tuck, the game ended with the
score of 10 to l2 in favor of Card
uervile.
After the Indians had been sery-
ed bountifully with the feast of
barbocued beef, they, with the citi-
zens of the community, assembled
at the high school greunds, where
an interesting and educational pro.
gram was carried ous.
AS a representative of thi. rom.
munity, H. A. N. Todd welcomed
the visitors. both vi shoes and
