would be to accept the plan of the United States government to cooper ate in the complete dispersal of the Nillista bands still operating in south ernand western Chihuahua and Dur ango.
 It was argued that the de facto gov ernment could not afford any break with the United States, whose recogni- tion had given it stability. Any open disagreement must result in interven- tion, it was asserted and it was further pointed out that those persons respon- sible for such an occurrence would scarcely be given any share in the re- mobilization of the Mexican republic.
 The American plan for cooperation need not entail any particular hard ships on the de facto government. it was further pointed out, since the zone of American occupation could be linn tied to the extreme northern portion of Mexico. and since withdrawal could be reached at a period not very far dis tant
 There was a marked disposition to attach some significance to the fact that Secretary Bakers instructions to Generals Scott and Funston referred only to the Washington government s intention not to agree to an "immedi- ate' withdrawal. This did not indi- cate, it was asserted any objection to withdrawal after a reasonable period
 Mexican officials said today they were anxious to have the conference expedited They asserted that every additional day of uncertainty regard ing the disposition of the American columns increased the danger of out breaks south of the border
 Little credit was attached, however to reports that General Obregon might decide to end the conference unless some agreement was soon reached.
 While matters were at a standstiH to- day new reports of a reliable nature came, indicating that the American army is preparing for at least a tenn porary stay on Mexican soil These said that the Sixth. Sixteenth and Sev- enteenth infantry regiments. which for merly were at Casas Grandes and Col onia Dublan, now are at Namiquipa General Pershing's base, and that tho TWenty-fourth infantry is guarding tn, line of communications from Colum. bus
 The Thirteenth and Eleventh regi. ments of cavalry and part of the Tentf and Seventh also were reported a Namiquipa, with the Sixth on it's way to that point.
 With this large force at his com mand and with the customary de fense preparations made, it was indi cated that General Pershing was read, for any eventuality
 Only few scattered columns of th, eXpeditionary force are reported soutl of Namiquipa. The great bulk of Gen eral Pershing's men are now well with in 200 miles of the border
 Two code messages were received to night by Major Generals Scott an, Funston from the war department giv ing more detailed instructions regard ing the course to be taken at the mex conference with the Mexican mflitar officials on the question of withdraw ing the American troops. Genera Scott anticipated that the next meet ing with General Obregon would b held tomorrow afternoon.

BEET INDUSTRY

c. n, McAlister recently visited
this section OF the country in the In
terests OF the livestock industry, On
his return to Portland, where he has
his headquarters rs an agent OF the
Stockyards company. he was quoted
in the Telegram, which states that
he is enthusiastic over the establish
ment Of beet sugar factory at
Grants Pass, as follows:
"The establishment OF the sugar
beet industry in the Rogue River val
ley Is going 10 make wonderful
change in livestock conditions. for
stock arising Is side issue, OF the
sugar-making business that is almost
as important as the main question It.
self"
II is well known fact that the
steer or the sheep finished or on beet
pulp are the kinds that always COM
mand the market top. Not only is
this statement vouched for by Mr..
McAlister. but reports OF sales at the
Portland Union Stock Yards also bear
it ont. Pulp fed steers are in demand
by the packers and they always bring
more than simply grain or hay fed.
Beet pulp will. In a large measure
solve the problem OF a cheaper food
for fattening. This will be espically
true in the Rogue River valley where
grain has been high and not produced
in sufficient quantity to meet the de-
mand.
| For the hog market, Mr.. McAlister
predicts an awakening. and says that
in his opinion fancy prices will be
paid for breeding stock to replace
that sold when the slump OF few
months ago discouraged many farm
ers.
/ II am an advocate of the safe and
sane policy of going into the hog
business" says Mr.. McAlister. II
firmly believe in the raising of fewer
and better hogs. advise the best
breeding and the best growing. Many
failures come from an attempt to
grow two head OF swine where there
is preparedness for only one. The hog
cannot be brought to the best condi-
tion for the block upon beet pulp
alone as can cattle and sheep, but re-
quires some more concentrated food.

FORMULATING LAND GRANT BILL


After weeks Of hearings and dis
cussions. the public lands committee
Of the lower house of congress has
named a subcommittee which is to
prepare the committee report upon
the o. c. land grant bill. This sub
committee is composed OF Mays.
Utah: Raker, California; LaFollette,
Washington; Lenroot, Wisconsin. and
Sinnott. Oregon. This Is a good CON-
mittee and should be able to formu-
late a bill that will meet the question
and give the people Of the affected
district the justice that is due them.
Representative Sinnott is keeping in
constant touch with the situation. and
the other members OF the sub-comm-
mittee are all men who are keenly
alive to the demands Of the ques-
tion. In a recent personal letter to
the editor OF the Courier. Mr.. La.
Toilette expressed the following views
upon the land grant matter:
''The committee on public lands,
as well as I am able to Judge at this
time, feels that the state of Oregon
is entitled to consideration, and espe-
cially does the committee feel this.
/ believe, in regard to the counties
in which the grant is located; but
even so, will not allow the railroad
company that has outraged every
covenant to retain this valuable prop
Ierty for another fifty years. to juggle
with as It sees At. v
Whatever is done in the matter
you may rest assured that the taxes
that have been levied against the
property by the various counties will
be taken care of and sooner or later
will be paid. There will probably be
provision made whereby a consider
able proportion Of the funds that may
accrue from the selling of land and
timber under some plan evolved will
go to the counties wherein the lands
are situated, which will make up to
them to a large decree any losses that
they may sustain by the withdrawal
of the grant from taxation.
ut seems impossible at this time
to even hazard a guess in regard to
the final disposition OF the matter;
but desire to assure you that I will
be pleased to cooperate with the
Oregon delegation in an attempt to
procure as equitable and advantage.
GUS a provision as possible for the
benefit OF those counties in which the
grant Is located"

THE RURAL CREDIT PROPOSAL

THE RURAL CREDIT PROPOSAL,
The proposed rural credit bill.
which the recent Salem conference
discussed and which win be initiated
by bill to be voted on at the Novem-
Der election, authorizes the state land
board to issue 4 per cent serial bonds
in an amount which win not exceed
in the aggregate per cent OF the as
sessed valuation of the property of
the state.
The funds derived from the sale Of
these bonds shall be let on farms
throughout the state at per cent.
which is the same rate at which the
irreducible state school funds are now
loaned. This provision prevents the
danger Of lower rate Of interest on
the rural credit fund initiating
against the loans from the school
fund.
No person owning land assessed at
$4,000 or more win be considered
for loan. IL being regarded that a
person holding that much property
is in condition to finance himself,
Loans will be made only to people
who are resident on their farms, and
no loan shall be made in excess OF
$4,000. regardless OF the security
offered.
Profits accruing from the differ
ence between the interest the state
pays on its rural credit bonds and
the interest 1t receives from the fund
as loaned, are to become part Of
the state school fund, to be admin.
istered under the rules governing it
Whenever the approved applications
for loans aggregate more than $780,
900, the state land board is author
lied to advertise and sell series OF
bonds sufficient to accommodate all
applicants, with the exception that
the amount of the bonds must never
aggregate more than 2 per cent of the
total assessed valuation of property
in the state. The bonds will be
known as Rural Credit State Bonds
and will be exempt from all taxes
levied within the state.
F. s. Myers, who Is chairman oi
the committee to draft and submit
the measures, outlined the effects Of
the proposed measure II II is passed
at the election, as follows:
"First-It will bring into the stat,
Of Oregon, within few months aftel
enactment, approximately $4,000,
600 OF new capital
"Second-It will reduce the rat,
OF interest on farm loans to thousand
Of farmers from s, Q, and 10 pc
cent to per cent.
Thirdly providing long-tern
loans at 6 per cent, farmers will b,
encouraged to employ labor in clear
ing and subdulng land which is nov
idle. This will give employment t,
large number Of laborers.
"Fourth-Tbe difference betweel
the price which the state will pay TO
its rural credit money and the rate o
interest which 1t will receive from
farmers will rapidly build up a larg'
state school fund
BY the end Of the twelfth yea,
more than twice as much interest vii
be received by the state as the stat
will be required to pay on its bonds
II II is decided to issued bonds ma
turing in S5 years, after the 25th yea
the state will owe s1o,O0O,O0O ant
have loaned on farms $39,533,99t
AT the end Of the 35th year the stat'
