Minority Senators to Wilson.

After adjournment of the Legisla-
-ure, the minority senators sent the
following telegram to the President;
The Undersigned members of the
Senate of the Nineteenth General As
the governor of this state respectfully
represent: That the special objects
mentioned in the message OF the gov
ernor to be legislated upon by the spe-
cial session did not appear to us to be
sufficient to cover the exigencies of the
act; that we have in every vote cast
endeavored to indicate such insuffi-
Urged urged and nse Voted to WIDEN hxs the scope Of
the objects that might be considered
to cover the entire situation. We be-
lieved and believe that the measures
passed by the Legislature at this ses-
sion are Inadequate to meet the situa-
,ere desire to alleviate the conditions
n this state. We deplore the neces-
sity of your telegram to Governor Am
mons and the condition that makes
necessary a reminder to the governor
OF Colorado by the chief executive of
the nation that the state is derelict
in its duty in the premises.
hington.-President Wilson ex-
pressed satisfaction with the situation
after he had received Governor AM
mons reply. 1t was said by officials
in close touch with the President tha Z
Wilson was greatly pleased with what
had been done after he had been ~
formed by Governor Ammons of the
work of the Colorado Legislature. and
that he hoped the state would assume
control of the situation in the near fu,
ture so the federal troops might be
withdrawn.
Washington.-Presid Wilson Sat
urday made 1t clear that Colorado
must quickly solve its own difficulties
growing out of the strike situation, and
that the federal troops now on duty
there would be withdrawn as soon as
possible.
He telegraphed Governor Ammons
telling him the state Legislature
should not adjourn without taking
steps to control the situation, and re-
ceived reply from the governor say
ing everything possible was being
ddne.
A. the White House it was stated by
officials close to the President, that he
does not plan to withdraw the federal
troops If anarchy is to break out again
but he feels there is no excuse for the
Legislature adjourning and leaving
the problem to the federal govern
ment
Members OF the Colorado delegation
In Congress were alarmed by the
Presidents telegram to Governor Am
mons, and said anarchy would reign
again If the troops were taken away
before the strike was settled They as
serted that although orders for the
disarming of the contending factions
had been issued, only a small proper
tion of the arms have been turned in,
and that practically an armed truce ex-
lists at present.
The President will be reasonable
about the question, 1t was said at the
White House. but believes that under
the constitution he has no right to
use the federal troops in Colorado
when the Legislature has chance to
act 1t was recalled that when he
sent the troops to Colorado he made it
clear the act was only temporary.

Juarez, Mexico-General Carranza
telegraphed from Durango the news
that Constitutionalist Generals Lucio
Blanco and Rafael Buelna had taken
the city of Topic, capital of the state
of that name, after severe engage
ment lasting more than "a hours. The
message also stated that the Consti-
tutionalists had taken the town OF
Santiago Excuintlan, and San Bias.
Topics port of entry. The capture of
Tepic and San Bias is regarded as of
extreme strategic Importance, as it
will allow the advance of General Al
varo Obregon into the state of Jalisco.
San Bias, which is about midway be-
tween Manzanillo and Mazatlan, is in
close touch with Guadalajara, one of
the most important cities of Mexico.
and. with these towns in his posses
sion, General Obregon will be able to
close in on the city from both the
north and west.

washington.-General Funston ca
bled the War Department that the
Mexicans had blown up the inter-
oceanic railroad bridge at San Fran
cisco. % miles from Vera Cruz. This
bridge, 16S feet in length, spanning
the Antigua river. is the mcst import
ant link in the line between Vera Cruz
and Mexico City, and it is believed in
official circles that 1t was ordered de-
stroyed as a result of the strong note
sent to President Huerta a few days
ago demanding an explanation of the
death of Private Parks and the deten-
ton of United States Consul Silliman
at Saltillo.
Secretary Garrison refused to com
ment on the destruction of the bridge
but he Immediately notified President
Wilson and Secretary of the Navy
Daniels.
1t is probable orders will be sent to
General Funston to extend his lines
out to San Francisco and to attempt
to rebuild the bridge, steel struc.

General Funston reported rumors
that General Navarette, the federal
commander, was in the vicinity OF
Vera Cruz with force of 5000 men.

sui at Saltillo, who has been in the
custody of the federal authorities for
some weeks past, has not yet been
transferred from that city. 1t was in
tended to take him to Mexico City
but railway communication north OF
San Luis Potosi has been cut.
Vera aCruz.-Additional confirmation
of the execution of Private Samuel
Parks has been received. There was
brought into the American lines one
of Huerta's conscripts who had de-
serted. He said he was an eyewitness
of the execution of Parks. and agreed
to relate the facts SO far as he knew
them, to the American general in COM
mand, il in return he would be given
work here or otherwise cared for.
Parks was orderly for Lieutenant
Colonel Taggart of the Twenty-eighth

pended and proiitably invest
ed, is far on the way to
high plane of living Prof.
W. A. Mckeever.
Three billion dollars is the esti-
mated amount spent annually for the
upkeep of the ten million or more
homes IN the United States.
Most of this money is expended by
women or girls.
Does this not show the great i'm
portance of training young women in
the value and use of money?
Some time ago a prominent house
hold magazine asked 500 bachelors
why they did not marry and settle
down. Most of these men replied
that the average manageable young
woman nowadays is too expensive a
luxury. Many asserted that young
women today are money squanderers
rather than the material out of which
thrifty helpmeets are made.

jackson Co. Lands.
The assessed value of Jackson eoun-
ty lands is approximately s6,000,000,
an increase Of fifty per cent during the
past few years, and this valuation is
constantly increasing. There is still
developed, including large tracts Of
pine timber which are now in the
hands of turpentine operators. In ad
ditton to the yellow pine lands there
are large tracts of hard wood, espec-
tally along the streams, and this hard
wood has already begun to attract the
attention Of northern mill men. Cut
over pine lands are still to be had at
prices ranging from $3.50 to $4,000
per acre and improved farm lands are
available in nearly every section OF the
county at from $40 to $50 per acre.
Anything that can be grown any
where else in the southern states can
be grown in Jackson county and, in
addition to the general farm crops,
land owners, during the last two or
three years, have gone into pecan
growing and Satsuma orange culture
on a considerable scale The soil of
Jackson county is especially adapted
to fruit growing, and that this will be
one of the most important industries
in the course of a few years IS the
belief of those who have given the sub
ject proper study. Truck growing Of
fers unusual advantages, and the next
few years will see many engaged in
growing vegetables for the northern
markets.
The climate of Jackson county is all
that could be desired. The winters
are warm, practically free from dam
aging frost, while the summers are
comfortable, owiag to the proximity of
| the gulf. The rainfall is ample and a
total crop failure is unknown in any
