MAY RENEW PARLEYS INSTRUCTIONS ARE SENT TO O’SHAUGHNESSY. DEFINITE PROMISE IS S0U6HT Carranza Saya He Will Not Accept Any Outside Interference.—He Wants Arms. Washington. — Instructions have jeen sent to Charge d’affaires D’Shaughnessy indicating to him the extent to which the United State* government will go in reopening the legotiation* with those councillors of Provisional President Huerta, who seek to renew the parley a The anxiety shown by these of icials close to General Huerta was regarded as a favorable sign by high jfflcials here who expected some de inite assurances would be forthcom ing quickly upon compliance with the American demand that the new con gress be not convened and that Gen eral Huerta be eliminated. The position of the American gov ernment, however, is that unless something definite is promised by the Huerta fflcials the resumption of the negotiations would be fruitless. Make No Comment. Dispatches from constitutionalists' headquarters at Nogales, Sonora, an nouncing General Carranza’s absolute refusal to accept any “transaction” with foreign nations looking tow?,rd a regulation of Mexico’s internal af fairs was not commented upon by government officials here. It was suggested in some quarters that Gen eral Carranza’s declaration was in tended chiefly to allay any feeling in Mexico that he was entering into al liances with the United States, a situ ition that might be made an issue, It ’s realized here, and develop discord Among his followers. It is stated on the authority of per sons in President Wilson’s confidence that the Washington administration nas never offered mediation through William Bayard Hale or any other in terference with a view to regulating internal affairs in Mexico. The sola purpose of the parleys through Mr. Hale, it is pointed out, has been to obtain assurance of protection for all foreign interests in the event that the embargo on arms be lifted.

A SHARP PRACTICE KANSAS CATTLE MEN PLAY A NEAT TRICK. V GOSSIP FROM STATE CAPITAL Items of Interest Gathered from Re liable Sources and Presented in Condensed Form to Our Readers. To Tax Mail Order Houses. Taxation of Montgomery Ward, Sears-Roebuck and all mail ordei houses that do business with the peo ple of this state is the step which Representative George Jackson of Nuckolls county believes will ultimate ly be taken in Nebraska and other western states. He voices that opin ion in a letter recently received by the state revenue and taxation com mission. They should be taxed on the volume of business done with the people of this state/’ he writes. “1 do not be lieve that this step can be taken just yet, but we are undoubtedly drifting toward that very thing.” Mr. .Jackson calls attention to an other condition which confronts many of the sparsely settled counties of the western part of the state. Assess ments in Kansas, for intance. have been made on March 1, and in this state one month later. In February. Kansas cattlemen drive iheir herds across the line into Nebraska and thus escape when the assessor makes his rounds in the Jayhawker state. Two or three weeks later they drive them back into Kansas and thus get out of the Nebraska assessor's path. Thus they escape taxation in both states. Grants Extension of Time. The state board of irrigation has granted C. P. Ross of Omaha the equivalent to a two-and-a-half-year ex tension of time for completion of his proposed water power project on the Platte and Elkhorn rivers. The de velopment is planned near South Bend and will undoubtedly reach both Lin coln and Omaha territory if carried through, much sooner than would be possible with any of the projects far ther up the Platte river. The move is particularly significant because in taking the step the board not only overrides the drastic views held by the lower house of the last legislature, but also takes a decisive stand for de velopment of the state's resources. Many Inspections by Commission. The food, drug, dairy, oil. weights and measures commission, under the control of a single head, received a total of $9,272 in fees, of which $1,408 was for permits of various kinds. Up ward of 1,400 inspections were made during the month, including the follow ing: Grocery stores, 335; meat mar kets and slaughter houses, 156; hotels and restaurants, 148; cream stations, 195, and saloons, 5. There were twelve prosecutions put under headway and 170 sanitary orders written. Oil and gasoline inspection fees totaled $7,382, or $2,300 more than for the same month last year. During the week there were 467 weights and measures inspections made which brought in $76.70 in fees. Prison Association Issues Statement. It having come to the knowledge of the Nebraska prison association that unautho#!zed solicitors are raising funds by asking aid in the name of the organization, its officers have is sued a statement asking possible con tributors to request credentials from any one claiming to be acting under its authority. The only authorized agents to secure funds in the state are Rev. B. M. Long, Mrs. Margaret Cams, officers of the association and resident directors in towns over the state, and all other persons claiming to represent the association are acting without authority and imposing upon its patrons. Governor Morehead has namfcd the following Nebraskans as state dele gates to the national rivers and har bors congress which is to meet at Sioux City within a few weeks: C. J. O’Connor of Homer, Mark Murray of Pender, H. F. Shumway of Wakefield, B. C. Enyeart of ^ekamab and H. C. Van Dusen of Kennard. Information relative to mobilization of Nebraska national guard companies has been asked for by the central division of the federal war department. The data sent to the department will include location and strength of each company, proposed regimental mobili zation points and figures on transpor tation, time and cost to assemble the men. The request for the information is not deemed significant inasmuch as the Nebraska guard has recently un dergone a rearrangement and the changes have not been given in full to the federal authorities. Convicts at the state penitentiary who want to take the state university correspondence school courses, but have uo money to buy books or writ ing material will be furnished with those articles at the expense of the state. This was decided at a confer ence between the board of control and Chief Justice Reese of the supreme court, former Governor C. H. Aldrich and Rev. J. E. Storm. Thirteen of the convicts have already ordered books and supplies costing $12.72, for wjjich they will pay out of their own earn ings. Lists of abstracts on homestead lands proved up on in this state dur ing the past year are to be collected as soon as possible by the state audit ing department and an effort will be made to have the slate clean by Janu ary 15. as provided in the statutes. The work is assigned to the following people in the state: E. Olsen. Valen tine; C. F. Shedd. Lincoln; Ira L. Bare. North Platte; B. E. -Sturdevant. O’Neill; Bruce Wilcox, Alfcnce; Lucy E. Palmer, Winnebago; Emma M. Scott, Broken Bow, and Sara E. Fuller, Macey. I ROADS WORKING FOR BETTER ROADS Movement Everywhere Growing Apace as Necessity for Improvement Becomes More Apparent. (By HOWARD H. GROSS.) The movement for good roads is everywhere growing apace. The agita tion for better highways is reaching every nook %and corner of the land. The necessity for this improvement becomes more and more apparent as we progress along our various lines of activity. A very little investigation will convince anyone that more than one-half the money that is raised for good roads is absolutely wasted by un skilled work, inefficient and costly su pervision and by doing the wrong in stead of the right thing, or doing what is done at the wrong time of the year. Among the significant movements for better highways in the central west is the proposition to place the whole matter of highway improvement under a county unit—to have one man thoroughly skilled in the art of road building and maintenance, who shall be well paid and who shall give his whole time to the care of the roads in his county. In large counties he would have one or more assistants. This cer tainly is a business-like proposition and ought to give better results. As it is today, under the hit-and-miss propo sition, those who are informed will agree that practically one-half the money raised is wasted by ill-timed and misdirected effort. Hence the logical suggestion is, first to expend wisely the money that is now being raised, to the end that we will have something to show for the expenditure, and second, that the highways shall show an improvement from year to year. The care and maintenance of the road ought not to be placed upon the farmer, for the roads need attention at i I-s-1 One of the Picturesque Highways of Colorado, Between Colorado Springs and Canon City. the very time when the farmer is busi est; that is, during the planting season in th*> spring, which is the only time to buifd roads, for then the road has the entire summer to compact and solidify and get ready for the trying time of the winter. If a road is graded in the early spring, properly crowned and good drainage provided, the en tire embankment will be dried out be fore fall and the summer rains falling on it will wet only the- top inch or so and be quickly carried off, and when the frost comes there will be very lit tle moisture to freeze, for let us re member that the ground does not freeze, but the moisture in the ground. If the moisture there is at a minimum the road will pass through the winter and open up in the spring without be ing cut up very deeply, particularly if ! it is dragged frequently after a rain, so as to keep out the little ruts that will hold the water and permit it to soak down and loosen up the ground immediately beneath. Keep water off (he road and the trouble will be re duced to a minimum. Hence it would seem like a sensible business proposition, and one that would make for efficiency, to have some one in charge of the roads of the county who has nothing else to do and who knows what to do and when it ought to be done. Legislation is pending in several states to simplify and cheapen road administration and put It in skilled hands. This seems to be the first step in the direction vof improvement. It goes without sajjng that the old plan of working out tfie road tax, In which anuual picnics, with horse racing, box ing, wrestling, jumping, story telling and other stunts are the principal features, should be abolished, and that all road taxes should be pand in cash and expended under skilled supervi sion. That is the only way we can get one dollar’s worth of road for the dollar expended. We are now getting less than fifty cents' worth of road for the dollar collected. Time to Drag a Road. vIf the traffic is very light, a good time to drag the road is immediately after a rain. However, for ordinary traffic, the best time to drag is when the mud will not stick to the drag, but will slide along the edge, the drag taking a slice of earth off the high places and filling the small depres sions. Scientific Principle* Needed. We must apply scientific principle* as to maintenance as well as to con struction of roads.
