No Fin Tn Monterey

Country folks generally discredit
the statements of town or city pa
pers as to health conditions when an
epidemic exists, but the policy of de-
ception has been avoided by the Re-
corder, and it has published the facts
as it understood them.
There is at present no flu in town,
and so far as we are informed, the
situation in the county is improving,
there being no new outbreaks, and,
up to date, no death from this parti-
cular disease.
We repeat, it is q mighty good time
for Highlanders to stay in their own
county.

AdUice ofLodge
Direct Suggestions to the
President, He T ellis
His Ratification Friends

BOSTON. Jan Ex-senator Lodge
n a personal letter, made public to-
day by the Massachusetts JOINT COM
nittec for a league of free nations,
advises those who are anxious for
prompt action on the treaty to direct
some of these suggestions to the Presi-
dent. The letter from Senator Lodge
Gays:
The incessant demand that is made
N certain quartz for further con-
cessions by the Senate is not helpful
to the cause Of agreement, because the
President has not only failed at every
point to consu t the Senate in any way
but he still stands immovable in his
demand that we ratify the league of
nations without any change at all,
which the Senate has refused to do.
1T seems to me it would be we'll for
those who are anxious for immediate
action to direct some of their sugges-
tions to the President and his follow
els, whom he called upon to reject the
reservations which are offered and
which l believe to be absolutely sound
in principle"

sI.ooo.oo REWARD.

The Board of Supervisors of Santa Cruz county have offered $500 each for the apprehension and conviction of Ezequiel Lara and an unidentified Mexican com panion who three weeks ago murdered Alexander J. Fraser, the mining engineer, and fatally wounded his brother, John A. Fraser, at the Ruby Postoffice, about thirty miles from Nogales.
 Civil and military authorities on both sides of the international line, with the aid of blood hounds, have failed to appre- bend the murderers, who escap- ed into Mexico, immediately af- ter shooting the mining men and footing their store and the Ruby postoffice.
