The Last Straw

Another ultimatum. Is it the tenth or the elev- enth? We are confused as the count. If there is anything that Mexico has not done to harm and hu- miliate the United States within the last six years if is because the imagination of the Mexican govern rent has lacked something of liveliness and devish tngenuitv and the Mexican leaders excel in that quality.
 The arrest and detention of an American consul a representative of our government would seem to be the last straw the previous injuries and in suits excuses might have been offered though they were not offered. The Mexican government had never thought it worth while to present anything m cxenuation that would have been at least soften ing of the injury evidence of desire on the part of the Mexican government to maintain at least an appearance of friendliness.
 Carranza could easily have discaimed respon- siblity for the Columbus massacre but he did not on the contrary he resented the punitive expedition for the capture of Villa, his own Te equally resented our foolish demonstration at Vera Cruz against Huerta, also enemy. The attack by Car ranzistas upon American troops at Carrizai and the Milling of some of them and the capture of others brought no apology, though in response to an "ult matum" there was belated release of the prisoners
 Since then for the outrages that have been com mitted against Americans Mexican and even on American soil, the capture and holding of American officers for ransom either by Villa or other bandits, or by the uncontrolled soldiers of the government self there has been apology, not even admission by the government that the disorder beyond it's control. The Carranza government throughout has been studiously indifferent and contemptuous.
 And now, have the detention of the American representative the ridiculous charge that he had .onnived at his Kidnapping, either for the pur-
 in +ba or what would be irritating to the Mexican gov srnment for the purpose of affording illustration 1f powerlessness of the government to preserve order
 If there any ground for the charge against Jenkins the methods of Carranza, the arrest of the consul without consultation with his government his treatment a convicted criminal, would be such an insult as nation has offered to another in mod ern times unless it prepared to go to
 But what going to do about it? In the light of the experience of the last years fess that do not know. But will risk guess that if Carranza stands pat will do nothing.

 Not far from here, also, there is little jewelry store which conducts a perpetual auction of jeweled trinkets all day long every day in the week.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-The New Yorker has many sources of relief tron the high cost of dressing. They are thickly scattered throughout the city, crowding Sixth avenue in places anu completing the old picture of Ihlro avenue in others, but the principal ones are on Bayard street.

The Dairy Business

It will be serious mistake if we should let the dairy business in this valley go It would not, of course, stay down, but while it should be down. would suffer great inconvenience and loss, and it would be rehabiltated at great expense. It may be necessary though, to go through this bitler ex- perience.
 People apt to forget what the dairy Aesinesa has done for this valley, the foundations for how many fortunes it has laid; how many mortgages t has lifted and dssipated All this again sometime though the industry now may Ian guish and lapse.
 There is other part of the country where dairying be carried profitably and easily if it is rightly carried The expense of carrying dairy cattle the winter is less than it is in Wisconsin to whose prosperity dairying has so much contributed.
 Our dairymen may for time be lured away to other apparently profitable industries but none of them will be be permanently prosperous as dairying. It will be a bad period for the Salt River Valley during which we may carry all our eggs in one basket
 That has been tried in many places and in man. times but the end has invariably been disaster

The Greatest Mother
 In The World
By Margaret Wheeler Ross

By Margaret Wheeler Ross "The greatest Mother in the world, With open arms she calmly stands, A crimson cross upon her brow, She comes with healing in her hands, With regal grace her hosts she leads We follow gladly in her train, Forsakng wealth and time worn creeds, For in her service, loss is gain. Oh. wondrous Mother of the world In shining, spotless white arrayed,- Symbol of truth and purity Thy strength in the Red Cross portrayed. There's room within thy ample arms For every stricken son of earth God mother of Humanity, All Hail! the day that gave thee birth. Oh Queenly Mother of the world, With beauteous snow-white crown adorns - We humbly bow before thy throne, All we who've earthly monarchs scorned We pledge allegiance to thy flag, Salute it to the breeze unfurled, Acknowledge thee without peer, .The greatest Mother in the World"

Logging Camps Will Open
Later Than Usual This Year

Supt. U. G.. Holt, of the Spaulding
Logging company, returned recently
from visit at the Black Rock camp
where he has been looking after some
construction work preparatory to the
spring operations. Owing to the unset
tied condition of the lumber market
he thinks that their camps may be lat
er than usual in opening up Probably
1T will be April first before the camps
all get under way. The camps all along
the coast as well as the mills are oper-
ating on a conservative basis until it
is learned what the eastern and for
eign markets are going to require.
James Day, who was for IL years log
ging foreman for the Spaulding COM
pany, now located at Vancouver, B. G.,
writes to Mr. Holt that the same con-
ditions exist there, though they are
handling good deal of foreign trade.
He writes: '"They seem to be cutting
mostly large timbers-looks like ship
stuff-but it is bound for Australia.

if they get that there will be some

saw mills here. They load the stuff ON
barges and tow it out to the ships.
The docks here are crowded with big
ships from Australia, China and Japan,
some of them with guns mounted fore
and aft and their gun crews still on
duty. 1t looks as though the war was
still on The town is full of soldiers, and
just the other day the Empress of
Japan left with 1900 soldiers aboard
bound for Siberia. There are great
many crippled soldiers here-armless,
legless and blind. They sure have had
a hard time, but they seem to be hap
py. They have an exhibition here of

CHARGES THAT Thirty
FIFTH WERE NOT CARED
FOR ARE UNFOUNDED|
Major Ceneal Traub Told This
To House Rules Commit
tee Today.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Charges that
the Thirty Fifth division was mis-
handled and not properly cared for in
the battle of the Argonne are not "well
founded" Major Peter Traub, the div
ision's commander, told the house rules
committee today.
Questioned categarically concerning
the charges of Governor Allen of Kan
sas, Traub either made flat denial or
said the condition was unavoidable, un-
der the exigeneies of battle.
Everything possible was done for
the wounded" Traub said. "But there
weren't enough stretchers in the A. E
F. to take care of seven thousand at
one point"
,Traub denied flatly tha the Germans
dominated the air.
There was shortage of horses, he
said, but he denied the shortage was as
great as So percent.
Turning to artillery, Traub said about
a half dozen shells from the allied ar.
tillery had fallen INSIDE the American
lines.
The division was never outside its
army and corps artillery, he said.
Generals Martin, national guard Of
ficer and Mcclure, regular army of
ficer, had been removed on his recon-
mendation, Traub said.
"One thing prompted me and that
was the success of our arms" said
Traub. Three regular army colonels
were removed at the same time.
Traub maintained the soldiers always
had something to eat although there
was probably a shortage of food at
some points.
Supplies Of winter underwear had not
caught up with the division at the time
Of the Argonne fighting, Troub ex-
planned.
Engineer troops had been pressed into
