WHEN IS A DRAIN FINIsHED2

The following le ter is sent US for
pu ublication by the owner of lands in
volved, which are near Bowesmont.
There are other drains suffering under
similar disabilities and the whole ques.
tion is very important. AS the drain
business now stands, no locality will
want to start county drains with the ex-
travagant first cost, to be added to by
subsequent assessments Drains we
need and must have, but either the
drain laws or the drain boards must
first be themselves drained. There's too
much leakage, as previously shown in
the Pioneer Express.

THE MIXTURE IN
MEXICAN MATTERS

1T looks more like real fight down IN
Mexico than before. Heretofore, the
rebellion business has been a sort of
sratteration by little bands here and
there all over the country. A thousand
rebels or as many government troops to-
gether in any one place was about the
maxi,lm. Now the rebels have gotten
together in practically one body and
occupy all the northern part of Mexico
and their armies are said to number
about 10000. On the other hand the
government forces are also now in one
body in Che southern part OF the country,
particularly about the capital city.
Now that under the order of the Pres
ident. both armies are to be allowed to
purchase arms, they will doubtless soon
be in fighting condition, and a decisive
struggle will be the natural result.
President Wilson's policy of non inter-
vention has evidently not been the
success that he expected. He has been
avowedly against the Huerta govern
ment. but claimed that if we let Mexico
alone that they would settle their own
matters-that is, that they would de-
pose Huerta and elect constitutional
president.
He further intlmated that it would
be impossible for Huerta to continue in
power, because he had no money and
could borrow none with which to pay
his soldiers.
The latter part seems to have been
disproven by the lapse of time and the
presence Of a government standing army.
The policy of non intervention has there.
