RULES FOR STOCK FOODS.
Commissioner Will Protect Buyers
Though Legislature Renegeti.

Despite the fact that the last legls-
lature refused to amend the concen-
trated stock food act so that it would
stand the test of the court, which had
it discriminatory, j. j.
Higgins, assistant commissioner OF
agriculture. will be able to enforce an
adequate set of rules for the protec-
ton of persons buying and using
stock foods.
The assistant commissioner has
taken. under favorable ruling of
the attorney general, two sections of
the general pure food act OF the state.
reinforced by a section of the code
to the act knocked out
nv the courts but not included in that
decision, and with these as a basis
has formulated rules which will pre-
vent the misbranding or adulteration
of stock foods. This set of regula-
tions, based on valid laws, undoubt-
edly will stand the test Of the courts
if attacked.

victory for him and the authorize
ton of the $4,000 bond issue, in a
special election that summer.
In December, 1913 and again in
December. 1914, Mayor hoffman was
reelected on a platform in which the
waterworks project still figured, but
the plan dragged all through the
year 1914 because the bond market
was such thai the bonds could not be
sold. Ar that time several Eastern
and Middle Western cities, owing to
this condition of the bond market,
disposed OF various bond issues by
public subscription and Mayor Mott
man sought to dispose of the local
bonds in the same way, offering to
take $4,000 worth of them himself,
but he was the only subscriber.
Then. early this spring, market
was found for the issue and the con-
demnation proceedings. first insti-
tuted early last fall and postponed
for one reason and another, were
tried in the Pierce county superior
court resulting in the verdict of $685.
500, which was considered a great
victory for the city.

BUSINESS IS NO LONGER
APPREHENS|vE OVER WAR
Steady Progress of Crops and Slow
but Steady Industrial Improve
ment Has Effect.

WASHINGTON former feel
ing of apprehension that Something
is going to happen" because of the
European war. has almost entirely
disappeared, according to a special
report submitted by the committee on
statistics and standards of the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United
States.
Even with the possibility of this
country being entangled in this
gigantic world conflict, there still re-
mains a pronounced belief that not
withstanding such untoward condi-
lions business is bound to improve
and show distinct advancement. Con-
fidence in the future, according to the
committee, of which A. W. Douglas
of St. Louis is chairman, has grown
apace, with the steady progress of
the crops and the slow but continual
improvement in industrial affairs.
In the main, the thoughts and in
terests of the great mass of pro-
ducers, whether in the city in indus
trial activities or in the countryside
in agricultural pursuits, are in their
immediate local happenings and in all
constructive measures which will
benefit their particular communities
rather than either the great national
or international problems.
There continues, however, much
conservatism and caution in buying
and in new commitments. The feel
ing seems to be that it is best to wait
until the results of the crops are
known beyond question before ven
turing in a more extended way, and
as a consequence stocks of merchan-
disc throughout the country continue
light.
In, every section of the country,
without exception, the dairy industry
is spoken of as a growing one and
receiving increasing attention from
the farmer, the committee says. Mules
and horses are in good demand and
at desirable prices. This industry
has been favorably affected by the
European war.

BURLINGTON LINE AFTER
100000 FEET OF LUMBER
Further Inquiries May Total 10000
600 Help to Lumber
Market.

Announcement that the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad is in
the market for 100000 feet of
lumber for car material, and that
this purchase is apt to be followed
by further inquiries, totalling more
than 3O,0OO,OOO feet, was made Sat-
urday by George T. Smith, travelling
freight and passenger agent for the
road in Tacoma.
This is the first authoritative an
nouncement of a large railroad in
quiry in the Pacific Northwest for
some time, though rumors of the pro-
posed purchase have been heard of
for several months.
For some time the lack of railroad
buying has been considered the chief
cause of the depression in the lum-
Der industry and if the roads are
really in the market for any consid-
cradle amount of lumber, it will not
be long before the lumber business
will be greatly improved.
While 100000 feet is not an
unusually large order for big rail-
road, the hint that more than three
times that amount of timber may be
required, and the expectation that
the other roads would follow suit and
enter the market, has caused a feel
ing of optimism that has been miss
ing in the lumber trade for some time
past.

VILLA APPROVES PEACE
PLAN..CARRANzA DOUBTFUL
COnstitutiOnalist Leader Expected to
Ask Recognition From Pan
American Conference.

Answering the appeal of the United
States and the South American ma
tions for peace in Mexico, Gen. Fran
cisco Villa has advised Secretary
Lansing he will accept the offer of
the conference to aid in restoring
peace in Mexico.
Gen. Carranza's response has not
yet been received, but it is known to
be in course of preparation. That he
will endeavor to convince the con-
ferees that recognition of his govern
ment is the wise course to pursue and
the only way to establish peace in
Mexico is generally understood.
1t is known that all of the principal
Carranza generals have entered into
an agreement to make similar replies
to the appeal sent them. Each one
will describe conditions in the terri
tory he controls and declare that he
holds it for "the constitutionalist
government" and he proposes to
maintain that attitude.
The appeal was made public last
Saturday night. Without even an in
timation of armed Intervention it
calls upon the leaders to meet some
where in Mexico, on neutralized
ground, in a conference ito adopt the
first steps necessary to the constitu-
tional reconstruction Of the country"
and to issue a call for immediate
elections. The services of the United
States or any of the other Pan
American conferees are offered as in
termediaries to arrange the meeting.
The appeal, although addressed to
the political and military leaders.
takes on the form of an announce
ment to the Mexican people them
selves. Its essential paragraph is:
1--WE, the undersigned. believe that
if the men directing the armed move
ments in Mexico-whether political
or military chiefs-should agree to
meet, either in person or by dele
gates, far from the sound of cannon,
and with no other inspiration save
the thought of their afflicted land,
there to exchange ideas and to deter
mine the fate of the country--from
such action would undoubtedly rsult
the strong and unyielding agreement
requisite to the creation of provi-
sional government, which should
adopt the first steps necessary to the
constitutional reconstruction Of the
country--and to issue the first and
most essential of them all, the imme-
date call to general elections"
The same day this appeal went
forward, authoritative reports were
received that five states and one ter
ritory in Mexico declared through
their military governors that revolu-
ton is at an end, as far as they are
concerned. Carranza and villa, or
other forces in arms, would De met
by resistance should they attempt to
enter these precincts of Mexico.
Troops in these precincts will be re-
turned to peaceful pursuits.
To this an announcement from
Villa sources adds that Gov. Jose
Maria Maytorena, of Sonora; GOV
Santiago Ramirez, of Coahuila, vita
adherent, and Gov. Fidel Avil' OF
Chihuahua, might be expected to CO.
operate with the Villa government IN
IT'S recently proclaimed noncombataht
attitude. This would make IN ali
o,gbt states and one territory OF Mex
leo pledged to some form OF peaceiu'
satt,ement of Mexico's internal DIS
order.
