No Word from Huerta.

NO Word from Huerta.
While the United States already has
made it clear that II is willing to agree to
such an understanding, II is doubtful II
any formal communication has yet been
received from Huerta.
Developments here yesterday indicated
that the mediators are somewhat con-
cerned over the conditions which Presi-
dent Wilson will impose in the negotia-
tions about to begin. The President will
insist that in any settlement OF the diff
culties between this country and Mexico.
Huerta must go and the constitutional
government be restored.
1t was learned last night that the
mediators have approached the repre-
sentatives Of European powers in
Washington and asked them to inter-
eede with President Wilson in an ef-
fort to modify his conditions. so as
TO make a successful conclusion of
the negotiations possible. 1t Is un-
derstood that the good Offices OF Ger
many, France. and England were
sought in this connection, but that the
negotiators met with a fiat refusal
from these governments. to undertake
any such mission.
1t has been the attitude OF the Eu-
ropean powers up to this time to do
nothing to antagonize the United
States in the Mexican crisis, and ap-
parently there was a feeling that any
such Interference might be resented by
this government. The governments OF
England, France, and Germany already
have. however. played an important
part in the mediation proceedings. At
the request of Secretary Bryan they
used their influence with Huerta to
obtain his consent to mediation.

or it's citizens and its subjects"
 Now the council of ministers in Cairo, the administrative body set up by Great Britain, has bravely declar- ed that Egypt is in state of war, notwithstanding that Turkey, which theoretically owns Egypt, has declar- ed neutrality. The London Times says of this declaration of the Egyp- tian council and its decision to make common cause with England, that it makes the Suez an English water way during the war and closes it to all hostile ships" This is probably the official view in England. But if the making of the Suez canal "an English waterway" gives England the right to ignore all treaty stipulations for it's use, how were we ever re- stricted from giving special privil- eges to our ships under a treaty in identical terms FIX.

IN OVERALLS GOVERNOR
 WORKS ON ROADS

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Aug. 25.- Armed with pick and shovel, Cover nor Major, for the second time, to- day led the men of Missouri in the betterment of the states highways. Major inaugurated a good roads plan last year and 25O,000 men in two days donated work and material es- timated to be worth $1,500,0O0. Great CT results are expected this year. The results obtained last year in Missouri stood out so favorably and the plan proved so popular that many other states took up the idea, while more are preparing to follow the move of Missouri this year. August dates were selected because the season is most favorable for road improve ments and because the farmers have more spare time at this particular season. The governor believes that a large per cent of the men who ob. serve the proclamation will work not only on the two days designated today and tomorrow-but five days Thousands of Missouri chickens today were sacrificed to the cause. The good wives, knowing well the appe tites of road workers, selected shady spots near where the various gangs were at work and served real feeds for the volunteers, which turned the noon hour into picnic.

SURROUNDED BY FOES.

Germany is not yet fighting with her back to the wall, but she has foes on all sides. It is not possible that Emperor William could have foreseen the far-reaching effects of his entry into the conflict, and his failure to restrain Austria in her un- warranted demands upon Servia.
 It is apparent that Germany expect ed England to remain neutral by of fering immunity to the French coast on the North Sea as sop to Eng land for holding aloof and winking at Germany's violation of the neutral ity of Belgium. In other words, Ger many expected England to give her a free hand against France if only her operations were kept out of sight of the English fleet In home waters. The Kaiser must have thought that England, with the Ulster uprising threatening, would be glad to keep out of the conflict with other powers. 1udI WOulu DC lOlCCu IO tdhC up the cudgels in behalf of her fel- low members of the Triple Entente was taken for granted as soon as it was clear that Russia and France would become involved.
 Italy's refusal to join Germany and Austria breaks the Triple Alliance. Austria-Hungary cannot help Ger many much. The dual empire has its hands full with the army of Servia, trained in two wars. Military neces- sity on Germany's part has made bel ligerents of the Belgians and may make belligerents of the Danes. Ja- pan is ready to aid England, even to the extent of fighting alongside her recent foe, Russia. Except for such aid as Austria, harried at home, can give, Germany is isolated, surround ed by foes. No other world power has ever before faced such fighting Odds.-EX.

CAPTAIN ZlM MOORE.

] Captain Zim Moore, who command ed the ill-fated Sampson, is knowl to almost every Alaskan on the coas from Ketchlkan to Bristol Bay Ht has a host of friends who regret hi:
 untimely death, but who are not sur
 prised that fe went down with his save his passengers and crew. Ina; only nine lives were lost when the steamer went down in eight minutes demonstrated his ability. No master running to the north had more abil ity or exercised more care than did Zim Moore in operating vessel. He has followed the sea most of his life, having been born in Maine and came to Port Townsend in the early nine- ties.
 He came to Alaska with the fish ing boats operating out of Orca, later taking command of the Walcott, and later the Golden Gate, which he suc- cessfully took to San Francisco when he ran out of fuel and was blown far ipto the Pacific ocean. Moore brought the boat to San Francisco after she had been given up as lost, sailing the oceangoing tug towards the south and away from the north, where each wave covered her with spray which froze immediately, threat ening to swamp his vessel. Without coal, fuel and but little grub he brought her safely into harbor at Frisco.
 Captain Moore had commanded the Nome City, the Portland, the Bertha and many other vessels calling at this port.
 For several years he was deputy United States marshal at Unga, but the call of the sea was so strong that last spring he took command of the Sampson.
 All flags in Valdez were half masted immediately when the news was received here The flag on the court house was lowered half way and was immediately followed by the flags on the dock and those on all public buildings.

DEPTH OF PIP FEET
 ATTAINED BY DIVER

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Arthur Gen. tsch, a diver, yesterday descended to a depth of PIP feet in Long Island sound, establishing, it is said, a new record in deep sea diving. The ap- paratus in which Gentsch ventured to depths before unexplored is built en- tirely of metal and>the diver is bolt ed and screwed securely within. The utmost depth hitherto attained with safety by divers has been 100 feet. At that depth, it is said, no man has ever been able to remain for more than fifteen minutes because of the water pressure. Gentsch and an other diver who went down in the device declared upon being hauled to the surface that they could have re- mained below for three hours.

CANALS AND TREATIES.

One of the developments of the war now on serves to show up con- clusively the combination of bunko and buncombe which was used in the arguments for the imposition of taxes upon our domestic commerce through the Panama canal.
 The Suez canal was the work of a private incorporated company. The government of Great Britain, appre- ciating it's value and importance, made the purchase of a majority of stock in that company, giving Eng land control of the corporation, which yet, however, has other stockholders, including private individuals. The powers of the world agreed to a neu- tralization of the Suez canal, and Great Britain is a signatory of the conven- tion to the effect.
 Now, the United States, in the Hay Pauncefote treaty with Great Britain, adopted and accepted the rules of naturalization applicable to the Suez canal, a privately owned waterway, to apply to the Panama canal, a gov ernment owned and constructed wa terway through American territory.
 The bunk" given the people of this country was that in the adoption of these rules of naturalization the Un- ited States parted with all right to give special privileges in times of peace to it's own ships in its own domestic trade. The main provision of both treaties was this: "The ca nal shall be free and open, in time of war as in time of peace, to the vessels of commerce and of war ob serving these rules on terms of en tire equality, so there shall be no dis elimination against any such nation

In this case the angle timbers, like
the poles of a Whymper tent, are

says is common.
Out of this most rudimentary typer
says Mr.. Addy, "the next evolutionary
step was to make the walls .
straight e. e., VERTICALLY, while still re-
tanning the original construction. :.
The change was accomplished in the
following way: The ends of the tie
beams which braced the 'crucks' to-
gether were heightened outwardly, so
that the tie-beam became equal In
length to the" width Of the cottage.
upon the tops, or at the ends, Of these
extended tie-beams, long beams,
known as pans (Yorkshire) or 'pons1
(Lancashire), were laid, and then the
rafters were laid between the pans
and the ridge tree. Finally side
wall was built ION each side) from the
ground as far upward as the 'pan,' So
that the pan rested on the top of this
wall"
Some of the early English grave-
stones erected over the ashes of burnt
burials were evidently intended to rep7

obviously initiates the simplest type OF
cottage, the one with the bent forks
rising directly from the ground. An
other incorporates the second type,
where the side walls have been madel

remarks writer in London Country
Life, to put on record the aspect and
arrangements of the old buildings
about to be destroyed
The earliest existing type of cottage
in England has been admirably de-
scribed by Mr.. Sidney Oldall Addy I'M
his invaluable book, ''The Evolutioni
of the English House" Unfortunately,
that work lacks the profuse illustra-
ton it so well deserves, and the lack
is especially felt in respect to this
historically most important of all the
types. Cottages, he says, of the ear
lier type are still found in Gloucester
shire, are common in Yorkshire and
Lancashire, and are doubtless to be-
found in every English county" In
this, think, he Is mistaken, for can
find none of the type In question In
Kent or thereabouts, nor have BEEN
able to get a photograph of one from
anywhere.
l leave the interested reader to re-
fer to the book for full explanation
of the term and the reasons in an
cient architecture for the dimensions OF
a bay" 'The principle of construc.
ton of the house of one bay was SIM
pie. Two pairs of bent trees, in form
resembling the lancet-shaped arches
Of Gothic church, were set up on
the ground, and united at their apexes
by a ridge tree. The framework so
set up was strengthened by two tie
beams and four wind-braces, and was
fastened together by wooden pegs.
The bent trees or arches were placed
at distance of about 16 feet apart,
and the space included between them
was known as bay"
These pairs of bent trees are
forks" Tin Latin furcae) or they were
called 'gavels," or "gavel-forks"
(hence the word "gable"). Nowadays
they are called "croks," "crucks" or
"crutches." Thus a cottage or barn
is. said to be built on crucks." Where
