Washington, June. 1.-THE United
States reply to the last note from Car
rama probably will not be sent until
after the st. Louis convention. The
delay was considered advisable to
eliminate inference that any action
toward MeS!cn at this time might he
interpreted as prompted by political
influences.
That course has been laid out par
ticularly in view OF Carranza's strong
intimations that the United States
dealings with Mexico. have been de-
termined by questions OF internal poll
tics In this country.
The answer which Secretary
Lansing is preparing will rebuke Car
RAMA sharply for that insinuation. it
is said.
Administration officials still are
worried over prospects of serious anti
American outbreaks In Mexico.

DURWARDS GLEN

The glen still attracts many visit

There is now new bridge at the
glen to replace the old rustic, over

some trout will go with him, with per-

MorfimerS Hold
Reunion at
Walton

More than sixty years ago a sturdy
young Englishman by the name Of
John Mortimer took up a homestead
of eighty acres of fertile land about
one mile northwest of Walton, but at
that time there was no Walton, and
forests stood where now are located
pleasant farm homes and villages In
dams and wild animals were the prin-
cipal inhabitants of this neighborhood.
Later Johns brothers, Samuel and
James, and a sister, Sarah, who had
married man by the name of Simeon
Mortimer, settled near Johns home.
Meanwhile he had married worthy
young woman by the name of Phebe
Smith. Samuel had brought a wife
with him from England, and James
wife having died, leaving a family Of
five young children, he married again,
this time a young woman from Indi-
ana by the name of Melinda Holder
man. Thus there were four Mortimer
families closely related and living
within mile of each other. Many
were the hardships they endured in
the early pioneer days when Reeds
burg was the nearest village, but they
were GOd-fearing men and women.
hardy and thrifty, and soon cleared
up their farms and year by year they
prospered until at the time of their
death the brothers and sister were
comparatively we'll to do and could
leave to their children sufficient means
to start in life without the privations
they had endured And be it said to
the credit Of the younger generation
they are all Industrious and respected,
and nearly all are farmers as their
fathers were.
For a number of years a Mortimer
reunion had been talked of, but was
never realized until on Monday, Au-
gust %, 1916, when Mortimers and
Iheir relatives to the number of 90
met at Walton and spent the afternoon
in social visiting and talking over old
times. Later ice cream and cake were
served and photo taken of the group
after which Gideon Mortimer gave a
little talk, telling of his visit to Eng
hand, where a number of the relatives
are still living, some perhaps taking
part in the present war.

this reunion had been here the num-

EXPLORES REGION
ABOUT BARABO0

A Chicago Examiner man has made
an automobile trip to Baraboo and
Kilbourn, describing his trip for the
benefit of Chicago tourists. Here is
what he says concerning the last part
of the trip:
All the way from Madison to Sank
and then to Baraboo the scenery be-
gins to grow more interesting, be-
comes nearer to showing what ma
ture can do. You are close to water
pretty much all the diseance, occa.
sionally crossing long bridge and
giving opportunity to see what is on
the other side.
It is when Baraboo is reached that
the real delight comes, for here are
to be found acres of interesting
spots, dells, falls, glens, bridges,
parks, hills and roads that reach all
roads that are good. Baraboo has
been catering to pleasure-seekers for
years, and she has accommodations
for man and car that are not sur
passed. The city lies in the heart of
the berkshire Hills of Wisconsin"
they say-and it does.

A splendid road leads from Baraboo
to Kilbourn, and here the real scenery
begins, although there is much be-
tween the two places There are
wonderful sights above Kilbourn, i'm

devise in making the place 1t is

adjacent-a week of exploration, Of
tramping, of boat rides-it is all won

and smooth grass plats.
1t will require even more than a
week to see all the carvings Of ma

the north and south. Huge immense

complish as much as they did in the
Yosemite Valley. Why? Because
there the Sierra GRANTEES, as a rule
solid and exceptionally resistant, were
traversed by thousands of assures and
therefore readily scooped out.
"The Yosemite Falls, for instance,
drops 1,430 feet in one sheer fall,
a height equal to nine Niagara Falls
piled one on top of the other. The
Lower Yosemite Fall, Immediately
below, has drop of 800 feet, or two
Niagaras more. Vernal Falls has
the same height, while Illilouette
Falls is 40 feet higher. The Nevada
Falls drops 500 feet sheer; the cele-
brated Bridal Veil Fall $40 feet, while
the Ribbon Falls, highest of all, drops
1872 feet sheer, straight fall ten
times as great as Niagara. Nowhere
else in the world may be had a water
spectacle such as this.
