NEWS OF FARM AND RANGE

Crops Never Better-D. NJ. Russell,
farmer of the Nye country who was
in town yesterday says that never be-
fore have crop conditions been better
in his section than at present. Mr..
Russell has 500 acres in wheat and
barley and is looking for good crop
though not for the yield that is OBJ
tanned in the main wheat belt.
A Modern Dairy-A modern dairy
has long been the ambition of John
Walter, the well known farmer resid-
ing west of the city, and now his plans
are in process of realization. AS an
nounced in the Press last week, Mr.
Walter has purchased the Mcfarland
dairy herd, to which he will add a
number of other good cows. and will
continue the milk and cream business
with Athena patrons, where Mr.. Nc
Farfand leaves off. there being no in
terruption in the delivery of milk. A
modern dairy barn and cooling house
embracing all required sanitary con-
ditions are in process of construction.
The buildings will have concrete
floors and cleanliness will be the
prime virtue of this commendable en-
terprise.-Athena Press.

CONTINUED from pa.e one.)

bers of company L. third infantry. c..
L. Curtis is a regular army veteran.
Thus far no decisive steps have been
taken towards forming a cavalry or
ganization in this state but events may
take such turn at any time to justi-
fy such action.
From statement by Adjutant Gen.
eral Finer, published in a Portland
paper this morning, 1t appears no ef-
fort will be made to push an oregon
cavalry regiment ahead of the Third
Oregon. Adjutant General FINER
consulted with Governor West yester-
day.
'T found Governor West enthusias-
TIC" said General FINER, on his re-
turn last night He believes that an
Oregon cavalry regiment can be or
ganized that will be of real service to
an army of invasion"
Governor West. however. will do
nothing to embarrass the chances Of
the Third oregon Infantry or other
Oregon troops already organized. in
getting to the front fist, according to
General FINER.
after that he would support the
organization OF a regiment in which
he would hope to serve" concluded
the adjutant general.
Lieutenant Hennessey. OF the reg
ular army. attended the conference
from Corvallis. where he is detailed
as military instructor at the Ore
gon Agricultural College.
"Horsemen are wanted" said Lieu
tenant Hennessey, men who not only
can ride, but who love horses and
who know how to take care Of them
We want to make this a real cavalry
regiment. composed of men who are
already cavalrymen so far as knowl-
edge of horses is concerned. To this
end. If the regiment is formed. we
want young fellows from the plains
and hills who ride after cattle or &c
after the mail over mountain trails
horseback. There will be no trouble
in making soldiers of these fellows
They can ride and shoot. They know
the outdoors. how to find water, how
to make their way through a rough
country, how to bring in cattle for
the commissary. Such men would
be invaluable in country like Mexi-
CO. The cavalry is the eyes Of an ar.
my, and despite aeroplanes, wireless
and all other modern devices Of war
fare. will always be Of great use in
reconnaissance"
Lieutenant Hennessey says that Or
egon is one Of the best states in the
country for the formation on short
notice Of cavalry regiment. Many Of
the men who will be included in the
proposed regiment, If It is organized,
will have had military training at the
Oregon Agricultural College.

VILLA SAYS CHIEF
IS FRIEND OF US.
CARRANZA's NOTE MISUNDER-
STOOD-DOES NOT DESIRE
WAR WITH U. s.

Ell PASO, Tex, April 25.-The in
ternational political situation cleared
greatly yesterday as affecting the
status Of the rebel government and
that of the United States. A long
note from Secretary Bryan to Car
ranze was transmitted through Juarez
to Chihuahua last night
General Francisco Villa, who ar
rived at Juarez, repeated his declara-
ton that he would not be drawn into
war with the United States, partic-
ularly as that would only serve to
draw the Huerta chestnuts out of the
fire. He repeated these assertions to
George c. Carothers. special agent of
the state department. and to newspa-
permen and many other visitors.
General Wishes for Cartridges.
To J. T. McClammy, his cattle agent
on this side Of the river, he said:
Its that little drunkard Huerta's IS
fight; let him fight 1t. I wish | had
10000, 900 cartridges right now; I'd
march into Mexico City without a
stop"
Villa said that Carranza's note had
/ been misunderstood and that the first
chief was as friendly as he was to the
United States. Roberto " Pesqueira
and other Carranza Representatives
here said that an idiomatic expression
in common use in Mexico was literally
Interpreted in the translation of Car
ranza's note to Secretary Bryan las,
Wednesday.
Carranza Note Explained.
| The translation made Carranza say
that he had hesired to avoid war with

matter Of fact the expression meant
| that although his friend the United
/ States had done wrongful act and
, had thereby injured a friend (Carran-
za). he desired to avoid war and al
ways would desire to avoid it, ex.
| planned Pesquiera
Villa frankly took the position that
he would like to avail himself OF
what is in effect aid from the United
/ States forces to prosecute his cam.
paign. His wish for cartridges. how.
ever, could not be gratified as the EN-
barge was on again. officially this
time, and five, rapid -firers which
were brought to the cutom-house wer,
