OF THE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

The regular meeting of the Board
of County Commissioners met on
Thursday, October 9th, 1916.
Com misSiouers Red and Boerlin in
attendance.
State Engineer Kearney appeared
before the Board and took up with
them the matter of the salary of the
Mineral County Water Commission.
This matter has been hanging fire
for three years. The Commission is
appointed by the State Engineer and
paid by special assessments levied
on the various water users in the
district which it serves. The water
users object to paying the assess
ment saying that no service was per.
formed or required and the Board
has repeatedly refused to allow the
claim. 1t is probable that as re-
suit of Mr.. Kearneys visit the
matter will be settled by assessing
Mineral County at very nominal
figure, aud the major portion Of the
to Lyon County where the benefits
of the Commission are considerable.
In response to a request OF the
Board L. B. Spencer appeared and
agreed to furnish five detailed topc-
graphic maps of Mineral County,
showing school districts for ten dol

MEXICO is COMING BACK.
Saved From Conquest, It Is Working
Out Its Own Destiny.

Encouraging news continues TO
come from Mexico, and the tirades
of President Wilson's critics grow
tanner all the while. Mexico has seen
much misfortune, has borne many
trials, has experienced many tragedies,
but there Is a buoyancy to the present
situation that gives cheer to friends
of that long-sufferlng republic.
Americans, coming from that coun-
try, bring optimistic assurances. They
declare that there is much better gov
ernment there than for many years,
that Carranza money Is increasing In
value, that business Is picking up and
that law is being respected.
The New York Evening Sun, n Re-
publican newspaper, which usually
crltlclses everything President VIII
son does, is compelled to recognize the

correspondent of the United rress,
who has been one of the keenest OBJ
servers of conditions both in Europe
and Mexico. Mr.. Shepherd, back from
Il long service abroad, was sent re-
Gently to the Mexican border. After
careful survey he reported conclu-
sions which the Sun displays under
the heading: Mexico Coming Back ;
Business Grows Brisk-Confdence in
Carranza Increases and Things Look
Up" In part Mr.. Shepherd says:
Mexico is coming back. It's not
dead rubber nation; it's got
bounce in it. A summary of the
news from the heart of Mexico.

along the border from Americans
incoming from Mexico, shows be-
yond doubt that conditions are
improving, confidence in Carranza
is growing, the situation is gain
ing buoyancy, Carranza money is

HAS HEARD
NOTHING OF PROTESTS

washington, oct. 1.-THE Japanese
and Russian protest against the Chl-
nese contract with the American IN
ternational corporation for railroad
building had not been officially re-
ported to the state department today
but officials expressed deep interest
and expected to hear from Minister
Reinsch at Peking.
At present, however, there seems to
be no diplomatic issue to involve TINS
government. The American interna-
tional corporation as a private organ
ization. secured the contract through
a loan to China entirely on its own
account and without any cOmmunl-
cation with the state department, As

EMERGENCY ON BORDER
HAS NOT lfl. PASSED

Long Branch. N. j., oct. 14.-Pres-
ident Wilson in a letter to Governor
whitman of New York, sent october
8, and made public here today, de
clared that the emergency which
caused the sending of the militia to
the Mexican border "unhappily still
"',sts.' He added. however, that he
aeved conditions in northern Mex
tco are improving and that 'in the
near future" it probably will be pos
sible ito do more than has been done
to relieve the embarrassments under
which organized militia regiments
have necessarily suffered"
President Wilson wrote to Governor
Whitman in answer to a letter from
the New York executive regarding the
New York militia organizations on the
border The president told Mr.. Whit
man that it was impossible to set a
date on which the remaining New
York regiments there could be re-
leased.
The president in his letter declared
he had been advised by the war de-
partment that a withdrawal of the
militia at any time since they We're
sent to the border would in all hu-
man likelihood have been followed by
fresh aggression from Mexico upon
the lives and property Of the people
of the United states"
