PARIS-Despite the recent steps taken toward summoning a confer ence to permanently fix Germany's Preparations, the position of three principal Allied nations with regard to their own debts does not hold out much hope for the Reich securing a large reduction. First, there is the demand of the United States that Britain, France, and other European nations pay America fully under separate arrangements already made. Second, Britain wants from her Con- tinental debtors what she must pay the United States and third, France is strong in her demands for enough from Germany to pay off her debts and build up France. If these na- tions refuse to budge on their stands, it is difficult to foresee when, and where from, separations reductions will come.

VI OA thS piCoS 10 dSdihSb luthi, lndl the power of the Territory has been against them; that the power of the governor has been used to bribe members of the legislature. In clos ing he denied that he was anything of a political boss. He said the h. dians were giving Sutherland their support because of his position on the fish question, and that he nor anyone else could take the Indian vote from Sutherland.
 The principal speaker of the oc- casion was Hon. Dan Sutherland. He began by acknowledging his debt of gratitude for the magnificent sup port given him in the past, and stat ed that he hoped to continue to mer- | it same. He discussed at some length the encroachment of Federal officials in Alaska with particular reference to the Bureau of Fisheries of the De- partment of Commerce. He said he had been criticized by his opponents and the press for not working in har- mony with the Bureau of Fisheries. He asked: Where would the people of Alaska get off if the Delegate worked in harmony with the Bureau of Fisheries?" He declared that with the Bureau of Fisheries har- mony means submission-yielding up loaves to secure crumbs, with our Delegate sitting there like Lazarus, beggar. He said that his opponents had made the argument that he al ready had the i'll will of the Depart ment of Commerce and that in case Hoover is elected he would be power less to exert any influence whatever with the next administration. He de- clared that he had no apologies to offer for having fought the Bureau of Fisheries and he ridiculed the idea that so great man as Hoover is re- puted to be would ever stoop so low as to punish an obscure Delegate for having fought for the rights of his constituents. He said that if he were going to be punished for having op- posed Hoover's policies there would be about hundred other Republi- cans who would get the same thing,
 The speaker said that his op- ponents had criticized him for not being opposed to one-man rule. The one-man rule, said Sutherland, is universal throughout the world today. It has come about through the experience of centuries. The Cana dian regulations are identical with ours-the Ministry of Fisheries, he stated, corresponds with our Secre- tary of Commerce; deputy commis- sioner ranking with Henry 0'Malley. It is not the fault of the system but of the individual.
 In his closing remarks MT. Suther- land took several raps at certain members of the Alaska legislature, declaring the Governor had bribed one senator. He urged the import ance of electing good men, and at the same time pointed to the disgrace brought about through certain "spineless members of the legisla ture who are yielding up to Federal officials all the power that Congress has given them"

 There will be no interference with the internal affairs of Latin Ameri- can nations under his leadership, the Governor declared. He urged the people to shake off "Standpatting as he characterized the Republican party, and to subscribe to the pro gressive attitude of the Democratic party.

NEW YORK = Dodging squalls and rain along the northern route, the Graf Zeppelin, which took off from Lakehurst at 1854 Monday morning, had covered nearly one third of the distance to Friedricsha- fen at ten o'clock Monday evening. At that time she was far out over the Atlantic cruising thousand feet above the waves as her powerful mo- tors hurled her across the sky at a rate which at times approximated 100 miles per hour.
 Aboard the dirigible in addition to the crew of 40 officers and men and 20 passengers, including one woman, was Clarence Terhune, 19-year-old golf caddy of New York, who had slowed away. He has gained fame as the first person to secrete himself aboard a transatlantic air liner. Messages received by radio from pas sengers and officers aboard the Zep- pelin said, "All is we'll" but her po- sition and weather reports received from ships at sea indicated she had been slipping around storm areas and zigzagging to find favorable weather most of the way. Latest re ports indicate, however, that the giant craft was well on her way to- wards completing her second cross ing of the Atlantic.

BY BILLY HOGAN

The following paper vas written
by Billy Hogan Of Pharr, student OF
the Pharr-San Juan school, and was
awarded third prize in the junior
section Of the historical contest
conducted this year by the Valley
Federation Of Women's Clubs. Ac-
curacy of information contained in
the paper is not vouched for by
The Herald.
About one hundred fifty years ago
there was a man living nea Reynosa,
Mexico, who was called Don Jose Ca
vazos. He was a descendant of a
Spanish soldier and as such he had
inherited many large tracts of land
near Reynosa that still belonged to
the King of Spain, as Mexico, at that
time, was still under the rule OF
Spain. These tracts could be bought
for very small amounts so Don Jose
filed an application with the judge
Of his village asking to be allowed TO
purchase some land he had picked
out in what was called the San Juan
de Carricitos tract. This was a very
large tract of land lying along the
gulf coast northeast of Reynosa. The
Judge ordered the official surveyor
to 90 with Don Jose and measure the
land which he had picked out. Copies
Of the records from Reynosa have
been recorded in Cameron and Hi
dalgo counties and show that in July,
1890, Don Jose and the party of sur
veyors went to the land to be meas
ured and started their survey on the
sixth day Of July, 1890. II took them
about a week to measure around 1t
and when they had finished the sur
veyor figured that there was one
hundred and six leagues Of land or
about four hundred seventy one thouS
sand five hundred and eighty two
acres. This land was considered only
fit for grazing cattle when It was
sold to Don Jose. The deed from the
Spanish government shows that DON
Jose paid fifty-three dollars and six
ty-two cents for this large tract OF
land.
After il had been decided TO him the
governor of the state Of New San
lander, who then ruled this part OF
the country, ordered Of his rep
resentatives to 60 with Don Jose and
place him in actual possession OF the
land which he had bought. In olden
times, when so few people could
write, land was sold in different way
from the way in which it is sold to-
day. Now, when q man sells a piece
of land, he signs a deed and gives
il 10 the man who is buying the land.
At the time Don Jose bought this
land very few people could write so
the man who was selling and the man
who was buying would 20 before a
notary and describe the land n
state the price. The notary would
write Just what the two men told him
TO write and would describe the land
sold and state what price was paid
for il. This ~notarisl deed would then
be recorded the same as deeds are
recorded now and the notary or some
one he appointed would 60 to the
land with the two men and place the
new owner in actual possession OF II.
The way they did this was a very in
teresting procedure. Upon arriving
