Washington, June 13.-That General
IIuerta will be out of the Mexican
presidency by the middle of next week
was the belief expressed in administra.
tion circles here today.
All reports from Niagara Falls indi-
Gated that rapid progress was being
made with the American-Mexican negO-
tiations and the utmost confidence was
felt that an agreement would be reached
shortly on new provisional president.
Washington officaldom felt sure, too,
that General Carranza would accept the
result of the mediatOrs' work and that
fighting in Mexico would cease as soon
as Huerta formally transferred his
authority to his successor.
The most pessimistic group here con
sists Of the members Of the Mexican
rebel junta. Having already con
quered most Of Mexico, they declared
Carranza could cOncede nothing.
Secretary of State Bryan was quite
frank in expressing his opinion that the
members Of the junta merely hoped
there would be no settlement because
with the END of the revolution, theil
occupation would be gone.

Homing Pigeons Start in
392 Mile Wing Race To
Vancouver, B. c., Today

the State Fair for homing pigeons to
make the race from Salem to Portland,
but this indicates big development in
interest in the business of racing hom-
ing pigeons.
Interest to the event of today was
made keener because of the balloon
races which started from Portland yes
terday.
1t was largely through homing pig
cons that the balloonists hoped to send
messages back to Portland as to their
location and as to their environment on
landing, and the suspense as to the
locality of some of these balloOnists may
be quieted when the pigeons return.
In fact on this balloon race, and as to
how the pigeons deliver the goods, may
rest the question of many human lives.
Race Is A Hanmcap.
The race which was started today.
with Salem as one of the leading fac
tors, is a handicap. The pigeons here
have a nimmense disadvantage when il
comes to those that started from Seat
tie and Tacoma, and when it comes to
awarding the Nizes all of these things
must be taken into consideration.

Minton Delivers Message.
To Alb Minton fell the honor of de-
livering tine message from Governor
West, and though he had a good lead
to start he ran his best to finish in
tne best possible time.
At the start the Portland runners
were handicapped by being obliged to
cat dust, but Of course they had the
same privilege to run ahead that Sa-
lem did, and it might be expected that
the man behind in a road race followed
by a dozen autos would be forced to
run in the dust The auto drivers took
side roads wherever possible, but the
dust was easily stirred up and the
slight wind carried it along the road
with the autos. The runners were soak
ed with wet sponges at intervals Of
one half mile and in addition Physical
Director Gingrich had with him \
spray pump like they use to apply =" So
Boss-SO" soother to kline in fly time.
With this machine he pumped out
clouds of invigorating spray to cool the
skins of the runners and to moisten
their throats and lungs.

Portland Y. NJ. G. A., said: "We have
nothing to say. We did our best. We

from that height, humping over trees
and rocks in deep canyon, Pilot John
Berry was not seriously injured, and

The balloon fell about ten miles east

With the wrecked balloon, Berry and
Morrison are expected to arrive in
Portland late this evening.
Captain Berry said today that he had
seen nothing of the other missing bal

was not until today that he learne. that
the "Uncle Sam" and its passengers

ditiOn of the wind.
Berry was badly bruised in the fall
aud his back injured, but he is expected

This would be embarrassing and would
probably lead to his defeat.
Tae official returns showed McNary
had majority of 10. The corrected
returns from Multnomah county show
ed Benson had majority of Z. Re-
turns from other counties show errors
that gave McNary lead of Z, and
returns received this morning showed
gain for McNary of three in Wal
