received by agents of Carranza rela-
tive to the settlement of the Consti-
tuticnalist internecine affairs, a mes
sage was received last night from
Gen. Villa, addressed to the Ameri-
can agent, Felix Sommerfeld. in
which Villa declared that the Torreon
conference was progressing satisfac-
torily and that all differences between
himself and Gen. Carranza would be
settled.
Later. information direct from the
scene of the conference asserting that
terms of settlement had been reached
were generally credited here and 1t was
believed. the adjusting of these affairs
would be followed by a decision in the
near future on the part of the Consti-
nationalist generals as to the invita-
ton of the Mexican mediators for their
representatives to meet with Huertafs
delegates to discuss Mexico's internal
affairs.
Naon Optimistic
Had it not been for the differences
which arose between General Carran-
"a and General Villa" said Mr.. Moan,
the Argentine minister. tonight, II
think this whole Mexican situation
might have been settled before this.
With the troubles of the Constitution
alists settled, l think that we will
hear encouraging news from Gen.
Carranza soon"
The mutiny which has broken out
among Mexican Federal soldiers near
American outposts at Vera Cruz was a
subject of keen interest in American
official quarters and several messages
on the subject were received from
Gen. Funston. who reported that fight
ing between the Federals and mutt
nsers was in progress.
Tho Mexican Federal commander
previously had warned Gen. Funston
that the mutineers had threatened to
attack the American lines and with
this information to guide him, the
American general ordered his forces to
be on the defensive. but not to consid-
er any such irresponsible movement
as an attack.
Humor Enters
An element of humor was injected
into the situation when a representa-
tive of the revolutionary junta at
Vera Cruz asked Gen Funston for per-
mission for himself and others to go
out and direct the mutiny. Reporting
his refusal of this request, the general
said no incidents had been reported
from the outposts.
Officials here see danger for Gen.
Huerta should the mutiny cut off his
means for an exit from Mexico City.
His early departure is assumed in Of
fetal circles, but If the mutineers tri-
umpn in their present rising. 1t is
pointed out that Huerta and his fol-
lowers could scarcely expect safe
conduct to the Gulf coast through the
enemy's lines

His Prohibition record is equal

couragement to both sides and
started out to champion each.
Just before that election he in
formed his dry friends that he
feared it would ruin him if Hol-
brook went dry with the attend
ant decline in business.
He then retired from the field
altogether not daring to commit
himself further and even refused
to vote on election day. How
ever he is a genial friend of the

discouraging circumstances, as

viction that the Judge is losing

After boasting of the large
sum he spends over the bar in
Winslow, he straddles from Nor
mon to Methodist, after paying
his respects to the Catholics, and
caters to every shade of political
complexion.
In the present campaign he
commenced by lining up with the
democrats, helping to select their
slate, but switched from them to
an independent position and fin
ally landed back in the Repub-
lican column.

Farewell Entertainment

Last night a combined enter
tainment was held in the Social
hall in honor of two departing
missionaries, Raymond Stratton
and Jesse M. Smith. The hall
was decorated with the National
colors by the Camp Fire Girls
and the Boy Scouts. T h e
progam consisted of some ex-
cellent numbers in the way of
music and speeches, original,
comic and pathetic. The dance
was even better attended than
the entertainment. Refresh
ments were served by the Young
Ladies Association. Mr.. Strat
ton will work in the southern
states, while Mr.. Smith goes to
the eastern states. Another fine
feature of the decorations was
the appropriate sentiments on the
boards written by our able post
master, John Murray. All wish
the young men great success in
their fields of labor. They will
depart tomorrow.

Why Not Send An
Exhibit to Wichita?

Prof. A. M. McOmie, the we'll
known dry farming expert, was
up from Phoenix this week. He
was here to see how the dry
farming interests were in this
section and was amazed at the
bumper crops. He was also
trying to interest the farmers
to send an exhibit to the Inter-
national Farming Exposition to
be held next month at Wichita,
Kansas. The county board of
supervisors, which has reserve
fund for purposes of this kind,
should appropriate a liberal
amount to send good exhibit
to Wichita and also one or more
persons to look after same and
who may also act as a bureau
of information" on irrigated and
dry farming in Arizona. The
exposition at Wichita will be an
immense affair and Navajo coun-
ty has a chance to show other
states what she can do in the
agricultural line. The super
visors of Apache, Coconino, Ora
ham, Maricopa and Yavapai
counties have donated for ex-
hibits and Navajo should do
likewise.
