in United States

New York-General Victoriano HUI
erta, former provisional president Of
Mexico, who for nearly year has
been an exile in Spain, arrived here
Tuesday on the Spanish steamship An
tonic. Lopez from Cadiz.
General Huerta was passed by Uni
ted States immigration officials as a
transit alien. after he had declared un-
der oath that he would do nothing that
would involve the neutrality of the
United States.
The ex-president said that he had
come to the United States partly for
pleasure and partly to attend to some
personal business connected with fam
lily matters. He swore that he had no
intention Of going to Mexico or to
Cuba. The length Of his stay here, he
said, was indefinite, but he would re-
turn to Spain, possibly sailing from
New York early in May.
General Huerta was met at quaran-
tine by representatives Of the press
and by an array Of photographers.
While submitting to being photo
graphed in every desired pose, he de-
clined to say anything as to his mis-
sion agreeing to meet newspapermen
at his hotel here at later date.
Regarding this appointment he said !:
II understand that my presence in
this country creates in you the desire
to know my views about the affairs of
Mexico and I promise to satisfy your
wishes to the best of my ability. /
beg you, gentlemen, to remember that
no interview with me should be con-
sidered as authentic unless it carries
my personal signature. +"
General Huerta was accompanied by
General Jose C. Delgardo, who has
been his private secretary for 10 years,
and by Abraham Ratner, personal
friend Of the general, who declared
himself as an American citizen, giving
his residence as New York.

"The rise of potato growing as an in

perhaps 40 per cent Of Oregon's potato

White Pine Mil Resumes.

Baker - Because of large orders,
the Baker White Pine company started
its mill at White Pine with about 100
men. The resumption was due to
lumber orders which Manager Frank
Gardiner believes will keep the plant
running all summer at least. The
South Baker mill also is running full
capacity and will continue to do SO in
definitely.
The company recently purchased
more than 1000, 900 feet of timber,
and with the large number of orders
from the East it expects to be able to
keep its ESQ men busy all summer, and
probably longer.
"The outlook is good" said Mr..
Gardiner. "We have all the orders
we can handle and expect to keep
every man busy for some time"

Kay called attention to the fact that
H. L. Bowlby, ex-state highway en-

do this. Mr.. johnson said after the
meeting that the estimates Of Major

He declared that under them the com

that, If satisfactory arrangements

The great American newsgathering

as the Associated Press was sthe3pro.

for the origination of the idea is US.
TALLY given to Moses Yale Beach, who
was born in Wallingford, Conn, 115
years ago today. Beach started life
as a cabinet maker, early invented Il
rag cutting machine, and for seven
years was a paper manufacturer. In
1880 he bought the New York Sun then
new and struggling penny paper,
from Its founder, Benjamin H. Day.
AS publisher of the Sun, Beach sug.
gested that all the newspapers of New
York "pool their news" and sell 1t
to outside papers. This was the or
igin OF the cooperative newsgathering
movement, which has developed nito
the world wide organization Of to.
day. Gerard Hallock was the first
president and DR.. Alexander Jones
the first manager Of the "A.SP." The
plan was followed in other sections,
and the New York Associated Press
exchanged news with the New Eng
land, Western and other "a. P.'s." In
1882 the fraternal relations between
the New York and the Western "a.
P.'s" ceased and for time they main.
tained rival organizations, but soon
settled their grievances and combined
their resources.

The New Year is really old before

The first people to greet the birth OF

tralians soon follow New Zealand in
giving II noisy welcome. Next the
philippines, japan and Asia, then
Europe and Africa, greet the infant
before It flashes overseas, on the
wings Of time, to give Americans an
excuse for noisy demonstrations.
In Its globe.girdling trip the New
Year finds many peoples who refuse
to give It the reverence which we con-
sider its due. The pagan South Sea
islanders observe New Year on day

Occidental method of measuring time,
and China, since the establishment of

The Terre Haute Exposure.
Once more there ia a stunning dem.
cnstration Of the falsity of formerly
held theory that political corruption
reaches full flower only in the great
centers of population. Adams county,
Ohio, exposed this a few years ago
and now Indiana is in the limelight
with horrible example, While
the war on political corruption has
been waged more or less successfully
in the large cities and public opinion
has compelled complete recasting
& political methods in the nation at

that Indiana has scarcely advanced

Indiana towns, may be taken as sug.
costing that where there has been SO
much smoke there must have been

guilt or innocence of those immediate.
II concerned there have been many
indications that politicians in Indiana
we're still playing the game in the old
way, putting things over when they
could and stopping at nothing to win
success for faction or. party. The
wave of election reform which has
swept ovtr so many states. resulting
in reform legislation and in restrain

not seem to have touched the Hoosi

Of the scattered population and the
absence OF any great centers is 9
moot question. That was one Of the
suggestions in explanation Of Adams
county's extraordinary carnival Of
corruption. But even If that does no,
