Field Notes from the Office
 of the County Enginee

The tractor road outfit IS lining up the county roads towards the southern part of the county.
 That ''Mr. Bridge Man" has reorganized the force on the Taylor bridge and the work is now being conducted economi- cally and efficiently. Most of the false work on the. abutments have been removed and the steel false work will soon be in posi- tion.
 After the completion of the Taylor bridge the Silver Creek bridge east of Snowflake will be erected. as well as the one south of Woodruff. The steel for this work is now here.
 Specifications for the remaining bridges. to be constructed by means of the recent bond issue, are now completed and ready for approval of the Board at their next meeting.
 Considerable interest is being developed in contract road work in the southern part of the county. Although rain is badly needed on the roads, they were never in better condition at this season of the year. The super fuous dust has been blown away by the high winds.

CdrrGnzd Demands With
 dratDdL of Troops

Claiming that the words anC
 protests of friendship of the
 United States have been entirely
 in contradiction of her acts. and
 that in spite of protest not to in tervene in the affairs of Mexico soldiers of the United States are in Mexico without the consent of the Mexican government and in violation of Mexico's sovereign ty. the Mexican government now asks for the immediate with drawaI of these troops. The re- quest is made in a 12,000- word note made public at the foreign office in Washington Wednesday.
 The note recltes that the American troops crossed the border after the Columbus incl dent without the permission of the Mexican government. The act was not considered one of in- vasion then solely because the United States said they had mis- interpreted the attitude of the Mexican government. When the second expedition crossed the line after the Glenn Springs in- cident. the note maintains, the plea that this was done with the consent of the Mexican consul at Del Rio, Tex, is untenable and the act can only be con- sidered as one of invasion.
 ''The Mexican government therefore invites the United States to bring to an end thls unsupportable situation" the note concludes. land to support it's protestations and declarations of friendship by an immediate of American troops"

Birthday Pdrty


 of the season was the gathering of the Elderly Ladies Rest Cut of Holbrook to celebrate the eightieth birthday of Mrs. Susar E. Mann; mother of Mrs. James HI. Scorse. The home of Mrs. Scorse was the scene of this lov- ing tribute to the remarkable woman, who on May 27th. at tained the age of four score; ten years more than the three score years and ten allotted to one by the Psalmist.
 The guests arrived at 8 p. m. and after a period of social con- verse a member of the company presented the popular octogen- arian with a gold thimble on be- half of the assembled friends. High tribute was paid to the qualities of mind and heart of the recipient of the gift and partic- ularly the beauty and quiet dig nity which the years had brought to her. quoting the memorable lines;
 When old age comes. If thought the delft and unseen sculptor hath not left his subtle lines upon the face, then all is lost for there IS no power within to glorify.
 After the presentation was made. the entire assemblage was invited to partake of a dainty, but most elaborate luncheon with place cards bearing the words. "Ye do honor to that little Mother O mine. '" The center piece was a hugh birthday cake decorated with tiny pink candles set in green cups forming the number 80. The repast was completed with a toast, ITO my mother, ," with everybody standing. Mrs. FIannigan and Mrs. Sapp assisted the hostess Tn serving the luncheon and entertaining the ladies. MT. w. R. Scorse, brother of Mrs. Scorse, took a photograph of the hostess and her friends.
 Carnations. the !" Mothers flower" that were intended to be used as favors, were sent to Mrs. w. H. Clark. who was i'll. The only member of the club in town who was not present.
 Those attending were: Mes danes Boyer. Cassidy, Cousins, Garrison, Mechanism. Larson, Morse and Mrs. A. w. Ross of Conway, Iowa, sister of Mrs. Easley. whose was the same as Mrs. Mann.
 During the entire day numer- Ous friends and neighbors called with some expression of their love and solicitude for Mrs. Mann and indeed, the mails have also brought many expressions of good will and hopes that one who has, as a mother, borne her part so nobIy, might be spared for many years to come to her children and grandchildren.

Base Ball Club Reorgqnized

At a meeting of the Holbrook base base club held last Tuesday night steps were taken to reor- ganize to club and bring it to the highest possible degree of effi- clency. The resignation of l.. D. Kunkle as manager was ac- cepted and J. W. McGowan was elected to the position. Jesse s. Hulet. secretary treasurer of the club, was reelected to the posi- tion. and will work with Mana ger Kunkle to equip and train a second ball club in Holbrook.
 Practice games will be played by the two clubs evenings each week, and in this manner IS or 20 players will be kept in train ing. From this number there will always be at least nine men available for any contest that may be arranged.
 The selection of MT. McGowan as manager of the club is a good one. He has had previous ex- perience in the management of ball clubs; he is familiar with the qualifications of local players, and will no doubt work in har- mony with the members of the club to make the organization a first-class one.
 The club has had some practice this week and Tn the game at St. Johns next Sunday it should give a good account of itself.
