NIAGARA FALLS, June 19.-The
American and Huerta delegates hold
firmly today to the opposite views ex-
pressed by them in public statements,
explaining the type Of men desired by
each side for provisional president Of
Mexico. .....
Both sides having gone on record
before the world, the prospect is that
neither will give away and that the
deadlock will result in a complete
breakdown Of mediation.
Word was received today from Min
lister Naon, OF Argentine, that he
would not return until tomorrow from
his trip to New Haven and Cambridge
where he received honorary degrees.
The conference that was to have been
held today was postponed until to-
morrow. 1t may be determined then
whether academic discussion ON the

the search for an individual acceptable
to all parties can return the situation
from its hopeless state toward the
channel Of possible solution.

ELKS REUNION
Held Three Days in the City Of
Parkershurg Passes into
History.

PARKERSBURG, June 19.-The
Elks' Reunion, the greatest gathering
OF the kind in the history of West Vir-
gtnia, was brought to close with a
dance and reception at Terraptn Park,
last night, at the end OF a day which
marked the colossal pageant which
was described by Elk authorities as
rivaling the parade of the national or
gani7ation at Rochester last year.
While the city is still host to hun
dreds Of visitors, the morning trains
Will carry back to their homes the
stalwart men and the handsome la
dies who have been the city's guests
in three days Of unexampled festivity.
1t was the concensus of opinion
among the leading Elks of the state
last night that the reunion here of the
Elks OF West Virginia surpassed in
every way any reunion Of an Elks'
state association held in any state of
the union, and 1t is certain 1t was
SURPRISING in point Of nun bers.
A number of delegations or parts of
delegations left the city last evening
and on the late trains last night.
Practically the entire Charleston
lodge left on the midnight sout
bound train, with the expression OF
thanks, through Chairman Of Creden-
tails, B. A. Wise for the courtesy and
hospitality not only Of Parkersbure
Elks but of all Parkersburg people.

MASONIC AFFAIR
IS FOR EVERYBODY
Public is Invited to Hundredth
Anniversary of Local Lodge
and Dedication of Temple

Some persons have the mistaken i'm
preston that the hundredth anniver-
sary ceremonies of Hermon lodge No.
6 Of the Ancient Free and Accepted
Masons and the formal dedication OF
its temple on West Pike street to-
night are either wholly or in part for
members of the order. The whole
affair is to be of public nature and
members of the order cordially invite
all their friends to attend.
The first thing on the program is
the dedication of the temple, which
will begin at 1870 o'clock in the lodge
hall. In addition to the dedicatory
ceremonies, John j. Davis, who has
been a member of Hermon lodge for
almost sixty years, will make an adj
dress on local Masonic "reminiscences;
former Governor G. w. Atkinson, who
is now in the city, and Judge Louis
N Tavener, of Parkersburg, will
make addresses and an historical
sketch of the local Masonic bodies
will be read by Arthur K. Thorn.
There will be musical numbers by
the quartet Of the First Baptist church
choir.
These ceremonies are expected to
last until about $3.50 O'clock. Then a
general good time will be enjoyeq
socially. There will be dancing IL
the auditorium, for which an orches-
ira will play music, the serving Of re-
freshments and sort Of open house

and reasonable compensation to the
public for water-power rights here
after.
While the natural resources Of the
state should be properly developed
and generously used to supply the
peoples needs, we cannot permit
them to be exploited, monopolized or
controlled against the general good.
New sources OF revenue must be
found to carry on the splendid work
Of the public service commission: to
give more generous support to the
Department Of Mines and agricultur-
al pursuits; and to provide for our
institutions. This tax must not be
placed upon the farmer, the mechan-
tc and the small property owner and
business man. 1t must be provided
by the interests that have control OF
our coal, oil and gas areas and that
are now reaching out to take over
our water-power sites. Water power
Is our last great natural resource.
It belongs to the people; their rights
are supreme.
A candidate for the Mouse of Del
egates or state Senate who does not
declare MS position on the water
power question and his attitude to-
ward. the progressive program adopt
ed at Huntington in 1912, and at
Charleston in 1914, and sustained by
Governor Hatfield, is not running in
the interests of the people.
This state belongs to the people
who inhabit 1t and not to the absent
landlords who seek to control 1t. It's
resources, its business, its insti-
tutions and its laws should be
utilized, maintained or altered in
whatever manner will best promote
the general interest. A candidate
who does not set the public welfare
first is not to be trusted.
This is. progressive doctrine and
It is sound American doctrine. If it
develops after the primary that the
people have been caught off guard
and that the water power and kin
dred interests have nominated a leg
islative ticket l reserve the right to
continue the fight.

THOROUGH TEsT
For Oil and Gas to Be Made in.
Taylor County by PennSyI-
vania Men.

GRAFTON, June 1911 the plans
of Harry H. Davis of Washin gtori.
Pa. are carried out, thorough test
of wells for gas an doll is to be made
In Taylor county. Davis, acting with
other Pennsylvania men, has stated
that he and his colleagues have taken
leases on about $4,000 acres OF land
in Taylor County, most Of 1t In etter-
man and Knottsville districts, where
rigs are to be put up.
The plan Is to put the test wells
down through the Bradford, or Tiona
sand. which would mean wells 5000
feet deep. Some of the wells in the
Sardts district in Harrison County are
of this depth. The extension Of the.
gas belt to Taylor county and beyond
would probably mean a Step forward
in the long-diseussed pipe line to sup
ply Baltimore with West Virginia gas.
