SAVING THE WRECK

The report of the State Irrigation
Commission (appointed by the last leg
islature) on the Salmon river tract, Of
fers the only reasonable solution of
the difficulties which have beset that
project since its inception To cut the
acreage to thirty thousand acres or
to twenty-five thousand acres is the
right thing to do. 1t is utterly absurd
for the state to think Of countenanc-
ing a continuance of the present ghast-
ly methods Certain water rights on
Mat tract must be made sure unless
the state desires to see many of the
highly improved farms abandoned, AS
it is now managed, not a single settler
On that tract can look forward with
any hopefulness to anything but a
bare existence with the water which
can be delivered, 1t will not take
very long to discourage every Salmon
tract rancher under the present con
dition
On the other hand if the acreage is
cut down there will be thirty thousand
acres Of good crops supporting con-
tented farmers.
There is no question but what the
settlers who lose out by the cutting
down are entitled to heavy damage,
which should be paid by the state and
the bondholders (not by the settlers).

Murdered and spread out nude In the
shape Of a Cross on the altar steps OF
st. Augustin's Catholic church, tia
body Of l.. A. Miller, Los Angeles

this afternoon.
Death was caused by spike being
driven into Mlller's forehead. A small
hole was discovered in the middle OF
his brow. Nearby was small vial OF
colorless fluid Handkerchiefs scat
tered on the ground outside the church
were probably used to tie Mfller's
hands and feet before death.
The mans clothing was carefully

each garment. No watch was found
and no money
Entrance to the church had evident

and few PAGES from it the police
found marks indicating that Miller
had either been killed there or STUN
ned by blow and his body dragged
into the church. .. -.-....... ...-......-
That a number of men participated
in the crime is thought probable,
owing to the tralnpled condition Of the
earth around the vestry door. Several
chairs had been placed near the in
ner door of the vestry, indicating that
the murderers sat there and peered
into the chancel.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-British
American as we'll IS German-Ameri-
can troubles got into the limelight
tonight
The state department announced
the filing with the London foreign
office of .caveat, or. warning. Notice
was served that America would rec
ognize nothing but international law
principles in British prize court pro-
ceedings affecting American vessels.
Unless they conform to these prfn-
ciples, the British were informed that
none Of their orders in council or 9TH
er announcements will be recognized
The impression was general that
this caveat, while intended to be of
general application, was fled specifi-
cally in view Of the Chicago packing
house interests complaint that they
were suffering from British prize
court methods.
Twas said. however, that 1t would
necessarily cover the American cot
ton cargoes siezed and still held at
English ports, though, like the meat
shipments they were consigned to
neutral countries.
News dispatches from London in
dicated that the prize court proceed
ings seemed to be going against the
packers. The latter showed small dis
position to accept adverse decisions
from tribunals which they evidently
considered had prejudiced their case
to suit their ideas.

Ell PASO, Texas, July 1i.-General
Villas fate may be sealed in the
breast of George c. Carothers, spe-

who arrived here today Carothers'
report to Washington is expected to
state what chance Carranza has of
eliminating Villa and thus gaining
recognition from the United States.
OF his report, Carothers would say
nothing, but he indicated that Villas
elimination was long way off if not
altogether impossible. 1t will be at
least two months before the Carrar-
zistas under General Alvaro Obregon
at Aguas Calientes can repair the in
tervening 342 miles Of wrecked rail-
way and bring his army to attack
Villa at Torreon. Meanwhile Villa Is
directing an offensive agd-sf the

mooted question: The Villistas still
hold Zacatecas. The report that Car
ranzistas occupied this important
city arose from Villas feint to aban-
don it. But when Villa learned that
Obregon could not Immediately fol-
