Although a criminal, his sense of decency was outraged when he saw that dlssipated lsngi.shman. WESTRJDGE, was attempting 10

 He went 10 Westrdge. told him that he was an old friend of the girls father and that he knows the girl must have s5n,O00 10 save se- curities which she has fooishly bought on margin. The criminal tells how he produced the security for loan which Westridge raised and then gave to him to turn over to the girl.

Jack Rabbits of the West.

One OF the pests the Western
farmer and ranchman has to fight
Systematically is the jack rabbit.
This animal multiplies so rapidly
that II is difficult to keep its mum
bers down to a point at which IL does
not destroy the crops.
While hundreds of thousands OF
the long cared creatures are slaugh-
tered annually in organized drives
the lessening of their numbers in
some communities is scarcely per-
ceptible. In Cox, Elder county, Utah.
for example. 25O,OOO jack rabbits
were killed this spring, but the
county still supports more than il
wants.
The figures for Utah, Oregon and
Washington, according to the Bio
logical Survey reports TO the United
States Department of Agriculture, in
dicate total OF 63S,SO0 jack rabbits
destroyed In campaigns just ended.
Most Of the pests were found in the
irrigated districts Of these States,
where crop production is high.
The jack rabbit is a solemn looking
creature and is unimpressive until he
gets in motion. AS a speed marvel
he is in the class with Man o. War
and Norwich. With his great, long
ears laid fat on his neck and his
long, powerful hind legs catapulting
him through space at the speed of the
Empire State Express he excites the
admiration of these who have not
been plundered by him.

The Downfall of Norwich.

The defeat of the hitherto invinci-
BILE Norwich in the Carlton Stakes
on Saturday was not great sur
prise. The conditions governing a
race in which winners of large sums
in stakes must concede weight to
those less fortunate brought about
the downfall of the BlockScolt.
In Whiskaway Norwich was meet
ing very fit three-year-old which
had raced but little at two years
and had incurred no penalties. Fiji
teen extra pounds on the back of a
thoroughbred running at the rate of
more than fifty-five feet a second
becomes a telling burden on a horse
not particularly big. The last straw
broke the camels back.
Norwich is a gallant race horse
that has done his part with an hon
esty which compelled admiration.
That he will win other important
races seems certain, but the belief
that he was another Man o. War is,
at least for the moment, dissipated.

to the benefit OF France. They know
that the railway will eventually be
the only link between Ouargla and
Algeria, and that with it in opera
tion France will extend her sewing
machine area" and bring Ouargla and
its surrounding GASES to the French
markets.
1t seems not to be difficult to get
primitive peoples of the world to ac-
cept modern ways and contrivances
if tact is used in dealing with them.
The important thing is knowledge of
the proper method of encouragement
to civilization, whether it be by sew
ing machines for the women or by
railways for the men. The French
have shown a knowledge of the sub
ject which is aiding them greatly in
their colonial enterprises in northern
and central Africa.

Sewing Machine Area Increasing.

For centuries the Algerisns along
the northern edge Of the Sahara have
been content with the camel as a
link with the outside world. AS
soon, however, as a railroad is built
into a region of the desert camel
transport falls off and in year or so
even the natives cannot find a trace
of the old caravan trails. when the
womens sewing machines are no
longer brought camel back, good-by to
the caravan" is Sahara saying.
In this Willingness to accept the
new for the old is found an explana-
tion for the railroads which the
French are stretching out like feelers
from Algeria into the desert. The
line from Biska to Touggourt, under
construction for about ten years, was
completed two years ago and has
since been successfully operated.
This was the road on which Ameri-
can engineering skill developed by
construction work in the sandy re-
gions of the Southwest was advan-
tageously employed and over which
American locomotives have for some
time been running. The road is not
yet paying big dividends, but It is
proving an eminently satisfactory in
strument to the French Colonial Ad-
ministration.
1t is from this road that the latest
extension is being made into the Sa-
hara. The extension will cross
sand desert without an oasis and with
scarcely human habitation for the
distance of about 140 miles. Its
southern terminus will be the oasis
and town of Ouargla, having a popu-
lation of 1000 inhabitants somewhat
backward, fanatical end poor. There
is little else for export except the
products of the date palm.
AS the whole route has been COW
cred from time immemorial by camel
caravans 1t might appear that the
railroad would not prove financial
success. 1t is to be built in accord
ance with the French colonial policy
and the administrative officers know
that in the end 1t will result greatly

Mexico's Debt Paying Plan.

Mexico's agreement with the inter
national bankers under the leader
ship of THOMAS w. LAMONT of ]. p.
Morgan & Co. to undertake the pay
ment of her defaulted foreign debts,
Government and railroad, Is, under
all the circumstances, a highly credit
able action.
No man can say now how far the
Mexican Government will succeed in
accomplishing all that this agree
ment aims to do within the next five
years. For relatively small popula-
tion, long distracted with internecine
wars and it's country industrially
ravaged over and over again by revo-
luton upon revolution, the amount
already involved is large--approxi-
mately three-quarters of billion of
dollars, principal and interest ar
rears together. Interest payments
ahead will magnify the total.
Rich though she be in valuable
metals, oil, agricultural products and
other natural resources. Mexico might
find the burden she has reassumed a
heavy one IL factions were to unite,
the sword to lose it's terror and the
population to return in mass and with
enthusiasm to the productive pursuits
of peace. 1t Is the more laudable,
therefore, that before some of these
essentials to prosperity are attained
she takes up the debt load again to do
the most she can with it in the least
possible time.
If for any reason beyond the pres
ent vision and the later power to
control there be failure In part to
fulfill what is now pledged a stout
endeavor and an honest endeavor to
make good must raise our southern
neighbor nevertheless in the esteem
of the world. The effort must put
more cheer and confidence in the
Mexican nation itself.
ADoLFo DE LA HUERTA, Mexican
Finance Minister, representing Pres
ident OREGON in the negotiations
here, has, by the testimony of the
international bankers acting with
him, given the strongest indications,
in the frankest manner, of wishing
to commit his Government to do
what is right within the capacity
of his country TO do it. In the full
fillment of that spirit Mexico can
sooner or later stand up in the COM
pany of world nations that will not
fail to pay honorable debts that
can be paid.
American sentiment can congratu-
late Mexico heartily upon that pur-
pose and ideal.
