DID AR. cARRAAzA
 RECOGNIZE GOV. eAhTu
(By B. F, Fly)


 It is currently reported from Cal exico that "Cantu Eas recognized Carranza." ard that the form, will be transferred to Mexico City and new governor-general put in Cantu's place.
 The truth of the matter is that Carranza has recognised Cantu's ad- ministration of the affairs of Lower California, and is willing and anxious to make peace with Gen. Cantu on the iatter's own terms-and these terms are that all of Cantu's official acts shall be ratified by the first chief, and that Cantu be allowed to go ahead unmolested until such time as Cantu sees fit to surrender his authority as the governor of Lower California.
 When these conditions shall have been complied with Gov Cantu is willing to step down and out, as serve the Republic of Mexico in any posi- tion to which he may be assigned. But not until then.
 If the negotiations are concluded satisfactorily 1t will be tremendous victory for Gov Gen. Cantu-and one we'll deserved, for he has at all times proven a patriot, man who has the welfare of his country at heart far and away beyond any self interests, and such men are unusual in present Mexican affairs. With practically all of the leaders it has been self first the people secondary consideration.
 I will indeed be glad to know that Gov. Cantu and Carranza have reach ed an amicable settlement of their differences, for dislike to see inter nal strife continued in Mexico No, thing would please me more than to see Villa come to honorable terms with the powers that be in Mexico. But that is wholly his business. Per sonally, I think if he had half chance, he would make good as against the de facto government, but cut off, as he is, from the rest of tho world, as I said few days ago, l don't see how he can hope to win even in the face of the fact that Car ranza's idea of 'usurpation and con- fiscation" can never prevail in the Republic of Mexico.
 In the meantime I shall anxiously await news from Mexicali confirming the report that Carranza has come to his senses and recognized Gov. Gen. Cantu.
 If this be true, it is to be hoped that Gov. Cantu will remain exactly where he is-for we all know he is at all times staunch friend of the United States, and man ready to sacrifice even his own life for his own country.

 been caused by the formal notice of the U. s. Land Of- flee that mesa lands" are again thrown open to home stead entry and such an er-
 roneous idea prevails as to what the formal notice means that as usual, it is left for me, through the Yuma
 Daily Examiner to give all the details.
 As specifically stated in these columns a few days ago the lands in question do not embrace a single acre of land that is embraced in the 10000 acres of mesa lands included in the Yuma project II stated this as positive ly as the English language would permit, on the author ity of none other than my friend Tom Molloy, attorney for the Water Users Assoc iation, who is perhaps the best posted man in Yuma county on matters touching the U. s. R. s.
 Early this morning l call ed on Project Manager Law son for his version of the or
 der, and as on all previous occasions when 1 have called
 on him for information
 touching Yuma project af- fairs he was free, frank and
 ready to give the facts. Does that order include
 the 10000 acres of mesa
 lands embraced in the pro- ject?" 1 asked.
 4Not an acre of it," replied l MT. Lawson.
 What does it include ?"
 was my next question.
 It includes all those lands much of which are barren
 mountains, entirely outside of the lands on the mesa that ! can ever hope to get water through the Yuma project irrigation system" was the Project Managers prompt
 reply.
 DO you mean that none of these prospective homesteaders will ever be able to use the waters of the Yuma project?" asked.
 That's exactly what mean. They will be entirely out of the project, "
 he replied.
 l Give me a definite idea, please, | where these lands are located" | MT. Lawson got two big maps, and, ! with Assistant Manager Priest, we checked up the lands thrown open to homestead entry Gas published for the | first time by any newspaper in the
 United States in yesterdays issue of the Yuma Daily Examiner). 1 They begin at a point south or
 Dome (so far as Yuma is concerned)
 and run in zig-zag way down to the
 Mexican line-every acre of which is
 outside of the 10000 acres of mesa
 lands included in the project. Some
 of it comes within couple or three miles of the siphon canal, some of it six or seven miles distant, but none
 of 1t is capable of being irrigated from
 the Yuma system.
 Nor can they ever hope to be, for
 the system is built for 129,000 acres,
 and when you get beyond that point 1 the water won't flow.
 Project Manages Lawson, 1 hold personally responsible for causing this
 land to be thrown open to homestead

 ago as our new project manager, he found that on Oct A, 1914, board of
 engineers, consisting of Gen. w. H.

against 926,O72,OO0, valued at $500 a

making an increase of production in
1912 over that Of 1911 of 92,1s7,OOO
brick and $1.133,137 in value.
For several years before the use of
cement or concrete in construction ap-

ALIVE AND KICKING
Jabez Thorpe's Manipulation of
Real Affection for the De-
serving One.
BY VICTOR REDcLIFFE.

One foot in the grave and the
other on banana peel-that's Jabez
Thorpe, to my way of thinking"
Exactly my opinion. A man of his
age crossing the ocean! Never was
hundred miles away from his
own hearthstone before. It's ter
rible risk he is taking."
Thus the gossiping neighbors of the
reputed wealthy proprietor of Thorpe
Farm 1t was an echo of the current
chatter of the village When hard
listed, misery old Jabez Thorpe an
nounced that he was going to Eng
land to settle the estate of dis
tant relative, it had been a nine days
wonder. 1t had been reported that
the interest OF old Jabez in the estate
was uncertain. He was a fighter, how
ever, and strcnuoualy declared that
he was going to see it that he got
his rights.
Thorpe Farm was not the pleasant
est place in the world. 1t had a pref
ty fair house on it, but poorly furn-
ished. AS Thorpe grew older he had
enclosed three acres near the house,
and rented out the rest of his land.
Ten years previous he had adopted
the child of second cousin, Nellie
Thorpe. She had grown into his life
more of comfort, guide and support
than he realized. 1t was when he
came to give up to Nellie the entire
charge of his business during his abb
sence, that he began to understand
how much he depended on her. II
Nellie felt that he was loading down
upon her a vast responsibility, she re-

Mr.. Thorpe's interests until the es-
tate is settled. Mr.. Thorpe left me
only enough money to cover the regu-
lar expenses, and fear ! cannot af-
ford to entertain so much company.
Thereupon the lazy young man
growled out something about mig
gardly treatment, the lady in mourn
ing flounced out of the room in hys-
terics, and the fussy old maid fiared
up like an offended pussy cat The
young legal sprig walked out on his
dignity. There was no dinner that
day.
The tribe thereafter got their meals
at the village hotel They by no
means deserted the old homestead,
however. There was too much envy
and suspicion among them for that.
They watched one another as though
afraid that some one was going to
carry off the estate-house, farm and
all.

ing Nellie forget one bright afternoon
as she went about the house attend
ing to her manifold duties. The young

In the sitting room, the other male
watcher of the slow development Of

on the table In the parlor the snuff

were chattering away like magpies,
when Nellie heard roar.
She dropped the plate she was hold
ing, and 1t was smashed to smither-
Gems at her feet. Then with scream
Of delight she darted into the sit
ting room, gave one glance at a
sturdy, wrathful figure filling the
doorway, and bounded straight into
the arms of-Jabez Thorpe.
"Oh, uncle! uncle!" she cried. Il
am SO glad-so glad"
Yes, and the only one who u.s." re-
piled the old man, as he placed a
sheltering arm about her. You young
sprig of insolence!" he shouted at the
astonished smoker, "out of here with
that vile pipe of yours! Here, wake
up and march," he added, pulling the
sleeper from his chair AS to you,
ladies'" he sang out to the occupants
Of the parlor, I've heard in the viii
lage of how you've all flocked here
like set of crows after a carcass.
Well, old Jabez is alive and kicking,
after all. And before the day is over
he's going to save you the expense
and trouble of coming to any more fu-
nerals by leaving what he's got, when
it's ready to leave to the only one
among the crowd Of you who is worth
two pins--and that's Nellie"
1t was after the detected, disap-
pointed mob Of fortune seekers had
left that Nellie proudly exhibited her
bookkeeping. 1t ended by the old
man manifesting real affection for his
loyal and faithful housekeeper in the
words:
