the remainder the two following
years."
When asked as to how the work of
road construction is being carried on,
MIR. Hochbaum said: 1.-THE county en-
ploys an engineer who has the entire
supervision of the work, and then the
contract for grading, hauling, and fill
ing is sub-let to the farmers in piece
work, and at a little less than the
same work would be let on contract to
some big construction contractor.
II mean by that, a farmer is paid
on basis of so many cents for every
hundred yards that he hauls a cubic
yard of gravel. In that way the man
who hauls gravel a mile, receives
more than the man who hauls it three
quarters of a mile, and there is no
chance for grating on the county by
hauling small loads The same plan
is followed on the grading, for the
cut and fills
1--WE consider that there was an adj
vantage in placing the work among
the farmers on a fair basis, and at the
same time it was done as cheaply as
it could have been done by contract
There is no chance for graft, and
every farmer is paid according to what
he does. That gives the man with the
large team who hauls the larger loads,
J the larger pay, and we find that it
works satisfactorily to everyone. This
year the farmers are glad to get the
work to do, as some of them had de-
pended upon a fruit CROP which was
killed by the frost"

The Mexican Trouble.

Concerning Mexico the president stat
ed that we believed that small and
weak states have the right to expect TO
be dealt with exactly as big and pow
erful states would be. Our recent pur-
suit of bandits into Mexican territory
was no violation Of that principle We
ventured TO enter Mexican territory
only because there were no military
forces in Mexico that could protect
our border from hostile attack and
our own people from violence.
Many serious wrongs against the prop
erty, many irreparable wrongs against
the persons Of Americans have been
committed within the territory of
Mexico herself during this confused
revolution. but we could rot act di-
