But, on the whole man’s lot has improved, and if he can hold his ground he has something to be thankful for. Sartorially considered, the Nineties were not gay for much of anybody. They were not too gay in other ways, for they witnessed a profound economic depres- sion and a war. Those too young to remember them need not be sorry. It is of little use to look back.

Continuation of Dispute on Seizures Barrier for | ‘ 2 Countries 1 ors WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—Sum- 'ner Welles, acting Secretary of State, has warned Mexico that con- tinudnce of the controversy over | expropriated American oil proper- }tics would “constitute a material | barrier” to a “close and friendly | | understanding” between the two " governments. But at the same time he plainly told the American oil companies | that this government expected them to “give the most ample and at- tentive consideration to all con- structive proposals.” | In a formal statement, he pointed | out to Mexico that continuance of the dispute would “dislocate still further beneficial commercial rela- | tions between Mexico and the Unit-| ed States, with great economic losses to both countries.” | Plan Rejected | He disclosed that the State DeA’ partment had formulated a compro- mise for the principal point in dis-! pute—the operation of the proper- | ties—but that this had been turned down. Both Mexico and the oil compa- | nies had refused to grant to the other the management of the prop- ! erties under a proposed settlement. The State Department suggested, as a compromise, that control , be vested in a board of nine—three se- | |lected by Mexico, three by the oil companies, and three chosen by the first six from a panel drawn | by the Mexican and United States governments. | Obligation Cited Welles' statement also served no- time on Mexico that “the discontin- | uance of the preseni discussions can of course in no sense relieve the | Mexican government of its obllga-i' tion to make prompt, adequate and effective compensation for the pe- | troleum properties which have been | taken, if the expropriation is to be regarded as valid Welles said it had the approval of Secretary Hull, who is vacationing | at White Sulphur Springs, W.

S. Cressman, Oregon Uni- versity scientist, into the little- known lake country around Paisley. It is now generally believed in the scientific world that man inhabited this portion of the continent many centuries ago, and that this par- ticular civilization was wiped out in the explosion of Mount Mazuma, the area now known as Crater Lake. The party hopes to bring back more proof of this ancient civiliza- tion as well as fossils of the camels, elephants and horses that once ranged over the old lake country of South-central Oregon.
