|St5,eO0 Balance In County
 Ledger Under Prohibition

| The report of Spokane County, Washington, for the first four months of 1916 is inspiring reading for one who is interested in the question of financing a city government without the liquor revenue showing as it does that 1t cost the county just $15,078 less to maintain the government of fees during the first four months of this year than 1t did for the cores bonding period of last year. While there was general feeling among the commissioners last year, at the time the budget was made, that the expenses of the office of prosecutor might call for from $5,O00 to $20,- 900 additional for this year, the ex- pense for the last four months has been about $500 less than the ex- pense for the same months of last year. If the remainder of the year keeps up to this record there will be neat balance instead of a deficit to be taken care of by the appropria- tiOu Ot
 The most conspicuous savings in the maintenance of the county gov ernment, outside of the $6,000 de- crease in the expenses of the superior court, are those connected with the relief work of the county. What a commentary on prohibition Is the fact that in a county containing city the size of Spokane, with only four months of prohibition, the expenses of the poor farm show a decrease of $4,000, and the relief fund nearly $3.O0O; the honor camp, $1,2o0; the jail, $812. Even lazy husbands seem to be affected by prohibition, as only $7 expense is credited under this heading, as compared with $136 Q year ago.
 This is a much better report than the following from another city of about the same size and which is ire quently made by every city.
 "A family of helpless children was found in this city yesterday in starving condition. and so filthy that their clothing, such as it was, had to be burned before they could be put to bed ill a charitable refuge. It was learned that their parents had been on a prolonged spree." says the Press Guardian of Paterson, N. J.

MIR. ". L. BUFORD IN NO
DANGER FROM Rabies

Mr.. w. T. Buford of the Bush river
church community returned Saturday
morning from Columbia, in good spir-
it's, the physician in charge of the
pasteur treatment for rabies having
assured him that he was in no dan
ger from the wound on his hand
sustained while placing in close con-
finement a dog which he thought to
be mad. A&
Last Friday morning Mr.. Buford
and his son Willie Munson noticed
one of their dogs acting strange and
as the day passed his behavior grow
ing more suspicious they decided to
shut him up in the buggy house and
await developments. 1t was while
clinching a nail on the inside, Nj.
Buford having reached his hand
through a crack with the hammer,
that the dog came forward and at
tempted to lick Mr.. Buford's hold
which he quickly snatched away, and,
in doing so he snagged it slightly on
another protruding nail point. Mr.
Buford feared that some Of the dead
ly virus might have gotten into the
wound and after having DR.. Pope
cauterize the wound he took the dog S
head and went to Columbia Friday
night. The head was examined and
it was found that the dog had rabies
"a very decided case.
AS stated before, Mr.. Buford was
informed that he was in no danger
and returned to Newberry.

others were eating their meals. The

MINT RELEASE PRISONERS
AND DEFINE INTENTION
Mexican Government Told That it
Must Tell OF Proposed
Course.

Washington June 29.-d QeHldHu
for the immediate release Of the
American troopers taken prisoner at
Carrizal, coupled with stern notifi-
cation that the United States expects
an early statement of the purposes CT
the Carranza government was tele-
graphed to Mexico City by Secretary
Lansing.
The note discloses that the state
department received yesterday a COM
munication from the de facto govern
ment stating that the Carrizal fight
was the direct result Of orders to at
tack american soldiers moving other
wise than towards the border person
aliy issued by Gen. Carranza to Gen.
Treyino and by the latter communl-
Gated to Gen. Pershing.
In reply Secretary Lansing re-
quires that the de facto government
transmit a definite statement "as to
the course of action has determined
upon" through the usual diplomatic
channels, "and not through subordi-
nate military officers
The Mexican communication is con-
strued. Secretary Lansing states, as
2 formal avowal of deliberately hos
tile action against the forces of the
United States now in Mexico, and OF
"the purpose to attack without provo
cation whenever they move from
their present position despite the
friendly mission on which they are
engaged and which is reafirmed n
the American rejoinder.
Must Go on Record.
Gen. Carranza is required to place
himself on record formally and the
plain intimation lies behind the re-
strained language of Mr.. Lansings
communication that force will be met
with force. Apparently, however, the
washington government is determin-
ed that the de facto government shall
not evade responsibility before the
world if war is forced upon the Uni
ted States.
The note and the military situation
of the United States were talked over
at the White House tonight By the
president with Chairman Stone of the
senate foreign relations committee,
Senator Lodge, ranking Republican
member, and Chairman Flood, Of the
house committee on foreign affairs.
After the conference, which lasted
more than an hour, Senator Stone
said the situation was exceedingly
acute The president had felt t
necessary to acquaint congress with
the state of affairs, and the action
taken, through the foreign affairs
committee. It was indicated that ne
might desire to address a joint ses-
sion of the house and senate in day
or two, but would not take this final
step until the Mexican government
had been given an opportunity to
reply.
