appoint it's commissioners, and fix, after consultation with Your Excel lency's government, the time and place and other details of the pro- posed conference.
 Accept. MT. Secretary, the assur- ances of my highest consideration"
 It is believed by diplomats and oth- CTS here that MT. Carranza will accept the counter propositi~n of the Wash ington government and enlarge the powers of the proposed commission if he has his own way. It is known here that the First Chief is afraid to move too far away from his original sugges- ton because of the attitude of some of his military lieutenants who are not wholly loyal to him.
 To Prsbe Carrizal Incident.
 The United States would go into the question of better protection to Americans in Mexico and along the border, the settlement of claims against Mexico and other matters that werep romised before Mr. Car ranza was recognized formally by the President. The Carrizal incident would be investigated.
 The next move will be made by the First Chief. The Polk note embodies the views and the wishes of the Presi- dent. If MT. Carranza agrees to the counter proposition 1t will require but a short time to get the machinery go- ing to carry out the proposition. Com missioners would be appointed and place for the conferences selected. The .cemmissfon, if named, will meet some where in the United States. No step toward naming the American com missioners will be taken until MT. Carranza replies.
 Acting Secretary Polk does not ex- pect an answer within the next AS hours, for, after giving MT. Arredondo the note, he left for New York for short rest. He expects to return to Washington Sunday or Monday.
 The Mexican Embassy here has been informed by cable from Mexico City that high military officials of the government now assert that with a cordon of 10000 men closing around him and determined on his capture Villa at last may truthfully be said to be in imminentp respect Of elim1- nation from the general problem o1 Mexican politics.
 President Wilson is understood tc have at least score of men under consideration for appointment as com missioners. Among them are Chie1 Justice White, Major-General Goeth- als. former governor of the Canal Zone; Frederick Lehman, former so- licftor general, and Louis Brandeis l associate justice of the supreme court It was stated authoritatively last night that the President had not attempted as yet to make selections
 Unofficial information from Mexico City has been to the effect that Luis Cabrera, Mexican minister o1 finance, would head the Mexican membership of the commission. MT. Arredondo yesterday issued g summary of his advices from Mexico City, saying that 10000 Carranza troops were closing in on Villa and his followers in southern Chihuahua andf that destruction of the bandit command was certain. It is the first official Mexican admission that Villa still is alive.

THE IDEAL TRIP

During the hot month of August there. is no trip that is more charm- ing than the. one given every week day on the Steamer Park City, to Port Jefferson, L. I. The steamer leaves the wharf at the foot of Fairfield ave- nue at 1:30 p. m. Excellent refresh ments can be obtained from the stand on board, also reading matter. The trip across the Sound takes one hour and thirty minutes each way allowing three hours thus on the sound and one and one-half hours in Port Jefferson This is indeed a very enjoyable trip and should be taken advantage of. as the excursions will be discontinued af- ter Labor day.

Opening Day Of St. AnthonY's Hospital
Reception lasted from two-thirty I'M

from ST. Joseph's church tower.
1t was day of intense pleasure for
the good Sisters of ST. Agnes and the

who by their earnest efforts and gener-
Gus contributions, made possible the
building of a hospital next to none in
the State.

On Flies.

DR.. DeVilbiss, when she was here
two weeks ago said that she had not
been in town this summer where the
flies were as bad as in Hays.
Flies breed in filth, such as manure
piles, garbage, etc.
No manure pile or garbage should
remain in the open more than a few
days.
Flies go through their life cycle in
little over ten days. Hence all breed
ing places need to be treated or cleaned
up at least, once every nine or eight
days at least.
Some of the towns good citizens have
moved in from the country in recent
years. In the country what a farmer

Oregon's first score was a 32-yard
place kick by Shy Huntington follow
ing the sensational 55-yard return by
Bartlett of Captain Bangs kick off
which started the game. There was
no further scoring until the third
period when Washington State tied

kick.
In this period 2s-yard run by Shy
Huntington put the ball on to w. s.
C.'s 17-yard line as the quarter ended
On the second down Shy Huntington
made 16-yard forward pass to Nc
Conell who fumbled when tackled by
Brooks. The oval was recovered by
Tegart and on the next down Shy
Huntington crossed the goal line for a
touchdown. He failed to convert
Oregon's last points were the result OF
30-yard place kick by Shy Hunting
