NUMBER 90 ULTIMATUM SENT} T0 WASHINGTON Huerta Demands Recognition Of Recall—Wilson Still Has ° Hopes THINKS REPULSION INCREDIBLE Plans For The Future Are Kept A Secret By The Administra- tion Washington, Aug. 9.-—After a con- ference with President Wilson at the White House Secretary Bryan an- nounced he had received a message from Manuel Garza Adalpe, acting ntnister of foreign affairs, declaring on behalf of President Huerta that the presence of John Lind would be undesirable in Mexico unless he brought recognition of the Huerta gov- ernment. Mr. Bryan said that there was no change in the plan with respect to Mr. Lind’s mission. He declined to #ay what the nature of the American government's reply to the Adalpe message would be. . Secretary Dr sage had becn the American e d that the mes- ransmitted through y at Mexico City, had been transinted and was presented to President Wilson.

PRACTICALLY AN_ACT OF WAR Rofusal of Mexico to Receive Amer- ican Representative. Washiugton, Aug. Y.-—Despite all at- tempts to assume an attitude of op- timism there was some grave appre- hension in official circles over the re- ception which will be accorded John Lind, President Wilson's personal rep- resentative, when he lands in Vera Cruz. Official circles have insisted and were still insisting that the open at- titude of opposition adopted by the Huerta government was a bold blutf in a last final attempt to force recog- nition. It it is, all will be well. But, if not, and Lind, who has been openly ac- cepted by President Wilson in public announcenients as his personal repre- sentative, is molested the government will be coufronted with a situation identical with that which followed the blowing up of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor in 1898, Lind may fail in his mission and no trouble result. The existing gov- ernment may decline to adopt any suggestion from him and he may have to return here with empty hands. Then it would be up to the president to initiate his gpcond step already planned, although carefully guarded. Would Be an Act of War. But an indignity to Lind, either by the Mexican officials or a mob, which followed official suggestion, would practically amount to an act of war which would necessitate armed re- prisals. Huerta will very probably force his hatd in Mexico City within the next three days. The provisional presi- dent of Mexico is a soldier utterly de- void of diplomacy. Those who know him best would not be surprised if he curtly orders Lind to remain on board the New Hampshire and return to Gal- veston. A press dispatch quotes Huerta as saying that the limit of patience had been reached so far as the United States was concerned and that he had decided to resist with arms any fur- ther attempt on the part of the Unit- ed States to interfere in Mexican af- fairs. While this is not official, per- sons here who know Huerta say he is Jjust the type to make such a declara- tion and if he has done so its effect would be to inflame the Mexicans to such an extent that anti-American out- breaks can hardly be prevented. WINNING WAR ON MOSQUITOES Fight Continues All Along the Upper Atlantic Coast. New York, Aug. 9.—The mosquito pest around New York'and New Jer- sey has been reduced more than a half by the anti-mosquito campaign this year, according to Dr. Alvah H. Doty, former health officer of the port of New York, who has been interested in the mosquito problem here for more than fifteen years. On Staten Island, in New York bay, the breeding of mosquitoes has been diminished about 80 per cent and the malarial variety of the pest has been practically exterminated, according to Dr. Doty, by swamp drainage, aided by an unusually dry spring. Similar work on Long Island, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut costs has brought about a' reduction of nbout 40 per cent in the breeding.

Bulgaria has formally notified the powers through the diplomatic corps at Sofia that she will demobilize her troops as soon as the peace pact is formally signed and that she regards it 98 up to the powers to put the Ot- toman out of Adrianople.

This summer about nine blocks have been ‘aid making a total of nearly 36 blocks of paving for this city. All of this work has‘been com- pleted during the last three years and covers all of the down town from which apointments for embassy legation secretaryships will be made. ~ All.The Mosquitos On The Reservation Scented Fresh Meat streets'and a portion of the residence PRAISES BEMIDJI Editor of Norman County Herald Spends Several Days At Bowser Home “BEMIDJT SLANDERED TOWN” L -_— Says Normal Site Is Without Doubt The Best To Be Found In En- tire State When Editor Jason Weatherhead of Ada visited this city and Nor- thern Minnesota, he: was so favor- ably impressed that he devoted sev- eral columns of space to his trip in a recent issue his paper and about half of the space was given to Bem- idji. With exception of one error his article is surely a credit to this city and the writer. He states that Be- , midji has upwards of forty saloons, which should read upwards of twen- ty. We reproduce the article in part. “The editor of the Herald family returned last ‘Friday from a ten days “See Minnesota First” trip conducted by himselt With the aid of a few friends. The first stop was made at Bemidji Wwhere we were guests of W. N. Bow- ser and family, pioneers of Bemidji. Here two days were spent, a large portion of the time being devoted to automobiling in the Bowser car to points of interest in and about Bemidji. A drive around the lake was enjoy- ed on Friday afternoon a trip was made to the summer resort owned by Al Jester at Lake Plantagenct and operated by him and his wife during the summer months. Here supper was taken and the meal serv- ed gave ample proof that both Mr. and Mrs. Jester are pastmasters in the art of supplying the wants of the inner man. Bemidji was just re- covering from the effects of a big jollification held by her citizens over the location of the sixth Norm- and night a1 ‘which was located there recent- ~ ly. Thief River Falls, Park Rapids and Cass Lake were rivals of Bem- idji for the Normal and the com- mittee must had a hard task to de- cide on a location, as all of the cities offered good inducements and were well located for the Normal. Bem- idji has given a twenty acre site on beautiful Lake Bemidji, the site be- ing valued at $50,000, and .is with- out doubt the most desirable site for au institution of this kind to be found in the entire state. Bemidji is an enterprising city of over six thousand inhabitants, has paved streets, well built business blecks and a number of elegant homes. It is quite a milling town, two large saw mills being located across the lake at Nymore. There is no doubt but what Bemidji is the most slandered town in Minnesota. There is no evidence of the wild and wooly discernable to the naked eye, and if there is a tenderloin district in the city it is kept well under cov- er, in fact the law is so strictly en- forced that it costs ten dollars for an outside citizen to even shoot a dack and to kill a fowl of this var- iety would undoubtedly put a erimp in gome of Ada’s multi-millionaries. While the city has upwards of forty saloons they seem to be con- ducted on a very orderly plan and the usual number of hangers-on are not found about Bemidji thirst parlors. Hven the “movies” take on the simple life and when we were there they were giving “The Life of Christ from the Manger to the Cross” to packed houses. One thing that Bemidji lacks is proper accom- dations for summer guests. There is no summer hotel conducted in ' the city and it is almost impossible to rent a cottage. There are upwards of a hundred cottages around the lake but these are all occupied: by the owners who come from nearly every state in the union each year to spend the summer in Northern Mirnesota, A good summer hotel should be a money maker at Bem- idji. The Markham, conducted by the Lycans, is a first class hostelry but does not cater to the tourist ‘business.
