Many Cities Successful In
SUat-the-Fy Campaigns

University Of Oregon, Eugene-Re-
ports of successes achieved in other
states in anti-ay campaigns continue
to come to DR.. Clifton F. Hodge, pro-
fessor of social biology at the State
university. A recent letter from Eliz-
abeth Cook, food inspector of Salt
Lake City, says:
NEARLY 100, 900 flies were caught
and brought in here last Saturday.
Our picture shows are running slides,
newspapers are helping, even the big
packing houses are giving bounties for
flies caught in their vicinity. pre-
pared the propaganda for the campaign
and presented it to the commercial
club in March. The club took hold
with great enthusiasm and prepared
80, booklets. 1t has furnished the
traps, which the children buy for Is
cents and sell for rs cents. The stable
window trap is made by boys in the
manual training departments, and the
net fly catchers in the domestic science
departments of the schools. We feel
very grateful to you and to DR.. Jean
Dawson for your encouragement, and
for the system with which you have
carried out your campaign. Ours is
planned along the same lines"

Villa and Huerta Would
Not Unite Aqainst u. s.

Juarez, Mexico-The startling de-
velopments at Tampico in point of in
terest felt here far exceeded that in
the reports of new victory by the
rebel forces at San Pedro.
No official would lend his name to
comment on the situation, but one man
in confidential constitutionalist posi-
ton declared that under no circum-
stances would the rebels join with
Huerta against common enemy.
''In case of foreign invasion Gen
erals Villa and Carranza long ago
agreed that they would simply content
themselves with opposing any armed
force which entered rebel territory"
said this informant.
1t is known that Villa would find it
practically impossible to cooperate
with Huerta. Huerta, it is related, at
the battle of Rellano two years ago
compelled the proud and arrogant
Villa, then serving under him, to get
on his knees and apologize for some
offense. Later Huerta threw him into
prison in Mexico City, where Villa
learned to read and write. He finally
escaped and made his way north,
where, on the assassination of Madero
and the elevation of Huerta to the pro-
visional presidency, he started revo-
luton and in due time joined other in
surgents under the supreme chiefship
of Venustiano Carranza.

'sNot Looking for Trouble,
But Ready" Says Chief

Portland, Or, April 49, "We're
not looking for trouble, but we're
ready for anything" said Franklin D.
Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the
navy, chatting democratically on Mex
lean war conditions, naval prepared
ness and numerous other things at the
Union Depot.
The secretary, on his way from San
Francisco to Seattle and the Bremen
ton navy yard, obligingly hoped off
the Shasta Limited when a newspaper
camera man asked him to pose for a
picture. He strolled bareheaded up
and down the station platform during
the Shasta's half-hour wait here.
''The navy is prepared" said Mr..
Roosevelt, who has been detailed by
his superior, Secretary Daniels, to
take personal charge of the naval stu
alton on the Pacific Coast. ''In Is to
20 days all the vessels of the reserve
fleet now at Bremerton, including the
armored cruisers South Dakota and
West Virginia, could be made ready
for sea service, if need be, to supple
ment the vessels already in commits
sion.
'"These two vessels carry 800 men
each. About the only difficulty in the
way Of putting them into commission
at once is lack of men. Because they
are on reserve, they are manned only
by skeleton crews Of about 200 men
each"

Great Development Due
In Southwest Counties

which is located either in the fertile
forks of the Newaukum valleys or the
low hills adjoining.
According to Mr.. Carlisle, when his
company gets its business in full swing
it will spell for the portion of Lewis
county which is directly tributary to
Chehalis and Napavine the greatest
era of industrial development and pros
nerity which it has ever known, and
will add immensely to the wealth of
the people. At Onalaska the company
has placed a portable sawmill with
which to cut the lumber that will be
used in the erection of modern saw
mill of 100, 600 daily capacity, with an
immense single mill to cut the cedar
timber for which the Newaukum Sec
ton is famous.
A second mill of 100000 capacity is
planned to be built later in the vicin-
ity of Cinebar, further east, to which
section the Carlisle holdings extend,
and it is more than likely that even a
third sawmill of like capacity will be
erected near by at later date.
All this will mean the employment
of hundreds of men in mills and camps.

Improve Pacific Highway;
NeIu TOun to Incorporate

Chehalis-Lewis county commission
ers have awarded a contract for the
building of a grade on the Pacific
Highway north of Forest, from the
foot of the hill to the Phillips bridge
across the Newaukum river, to replace
a WORKOUT and dangerous trestle. The
half-mile grade will be surfaced with
gravel.
All telephone companies operating
on Lewis county roads without fran
chises are to be ousted by order Of the
board, and 80 days time has been
granted in which applications may be
made for franchises. The board plans
to compel common-user restrictions in
the use of poles.
Mineral, a live sawmill town in
Northeastern Lewis county, has ap-
piled to be incorporated under the laws
of the state. The hearing on the Pc
tition was set for May 4.

Lumber company, a wealthy Eastern
concern whose headquarters are at
Atchison, Kan, and who has been pas

extensive business interests in this
section, left for his home at Atchison,
after seeing all plans well under way
for the great development work which
his company is now starting in South

OF especial Importance to the people
of Lewis and Chehalis counties is the
announcement of Mr.. Carlisle's com

on Grays Harbor and at Onalaska, 16
miles east of Chehalis, at both of
which points big sawmills are to be
erected at once.

Commercial club, explaining in detail
the big land opening in the Big Bot

largely to the local club, which took

comes of the Tampico incidents, the

Huerta," declared Francisco Elias,
president of the Sonora war and land
tax committee and spokesman for con-
stitutionalists along the border in this
vicinity. ''In my opinion Huerta is
taking this stand he has announced in
the belief that the people will flock to
his standard when he proclaims him
self patriotic martyr standing alone
against the allied United States and
constitutionalist forces" he said.

Naval Cruisers to Conduct
Mail and Passenger Lines

Washington, D. Feasibility of
establishing line Of fast naval cruis-
ers to carry passengers, mail and
freight between the United States and
South America was indorsed by Secre-
tary Daniels in report to the senate
on the resolution introduced by Sena-
tor Weeks. The committee on naval
affairs at once introduced bill to es
tablish one or more navy mail lines to
South American ports.
1t is the plan to use in time of peace
such swift scout cruisers as are little
needed in fleet maneuvers. The mail
ships would be commanded by retired
officers at the discretion of the Navy
department. which also fixes rates and
fares.
In his letter to Chairman Tillman,
of the naval committee, Daniels said !:
cit is practicable, by the use of
naval vessels, to carry out the purpose
indicated and the following will be
available for the service: St. Louis,
Charleston, Milwaukee, Columbia, Min
neapolis, fast cruisers; Salem and
Chester, fast scout cruisers; Buffalo
and Rainbow, transports; Ancon, Girls
tobal and Hector, Panama steamers
Mars, Vulcan, Cyclops and Neptune,
Tor two equally good), and the Nan
shan, Golfers"
Secretary Daniels expects that a
round trip from New Orleans to Val
paraiso could be made in "a days and
II hours.
''The department sees in the plan an
opportunity for two-fold advantage, "
wrote Secretary Daniels. First,
the opportunity for developing large
trade with South America which is not
practicable for private vessels under
the United States flag. Second, the
gradual development of large auxil-
larry fleet, which would be necessary in
time of war, which would be built up
and maintained in time of peace with
out cost to the government, as it will
pay for itself after having once been
firmly established.

BattIeship Fleet Backs
In Demand On Huerta

Vera Cruz, Mex. - The Mexican
foreign minister, Senior Portillo y Ro-
las. has transmitted to the American
charge d'Affaires, Nelson Onslaught
messy, note dealing with the arrest
of the assistant paymaster and a de-
tachment of bluejackets from the Uni
ted States gunboat Dolphin at Tam
pico, and the demand of Admiral Mayo
that the American flag be saluted.
In effect the note says that the Mex
lean government cannot see wherein
the Federals have inflicted any insult
on the American nation; that ordering
the army to salute the American flag
would be an admission that the United
States is exercising undue influences
over this country's free action, and
that President Huerta is disposed to
uphold the honor and sovereignty OF
Mexico at any cost.
Washington, D. C.-President Will
son has ordered practically the entire
Atlantic fleet to Mexican waters to
force public salute to the Stars and
Stripes from the Huerta government
as an apology for the arrest of Amer
lean marines at Tampico last Thurs
day.
No ultimatum has been issued-that
is, no specified time has been set with
in which the Huerta government must
1,,% <ho
has been ordered as concrete evil
dence of the fixed determination of the
United States to back up Rear Admir-
al Mayo's demand for salute. Up to
Wednesday General Huerta had not
made satisfactory response to the de-
mand.
Future developments depend on
Huerta himself" was the way high
administration official close to the
President summarized the situation.
The decision to send the fleet was
reached after the President and Secre-
tary Bryan had conferred for an hour
with John Lind, personal representa-
tive of President Wilson in Mexico,
and after two-hour cabinet meeting,
at which dispatches from Charge
O'Shaughnessy revealed that the
Huerta government disputed the right
of American marines to be ashore at
Tampico and contended that its recent
public statement of apology was ample.
Immediately after the cabinet meet
ing Secretary Daniels issued his order
to the Atlantic fleet and wireless mes
sages flashed up and down the Atlantic
coast to put the fleet under steam for
Tampico. 1t will be the largest fight
ing force the American government
has assembled for possible action since
the Spanish-American war. Eleven
great battleships, with auxiliaries
carrying II, 900 men, will comprise
the force off Tampico.

HIJERTA REFUSES SALUTE;
WAR MEASURES RUSHED
No Formal Declaration Will Be Made,
But Respect to Flag Enforced.

Washington, D. c., April 19.-Gen-
eral Victoriana Huerta, provisional
President of Mexico, fatty refused to-
night to accede to the unconditional
demand of the United States that ne
salute the American flag. Congress
will be asked by President Wilson to-
morrow for authority to use armed
force to uphold the honor and dignity
of the nation.
NEGOTIATIONS with Huerta over the
demand for salute in reparation Tor
the arrest of American sailors at Tam
pico on April 10 came to a close to-
night at p. M, the last hour given
nv President Wilson for a favorable
response from the dictator.
The final word of Huerta to Charge
O'Shaughnessy was refusal to com
DIV unless the United States would
Guarantee in writing that his salute be
returned.
President Wilson at midnight was
on his way to Washington from White
Sulphur Springs, preparing to read a
message to congress in joint session as
early as could be arranged. In the
meantime American war fleets were
moving down both coasts on their way
to Mexican waters to carry out the
Presidents plans for reprisal.
The crisis thus reached does not
mean that there will be formal de-
claration of war, because the United
States could not declare war against a
government which it does not recog-
nize. President Wilson will seek au-
thority, however, to send the armed
forces into Mexico to seize the ports of
Tampico and Vera Cruz and the rail-
road trestle leading from Vera Cruz
toward Mexico City.
The President directed that cabi-
net meeting be called for 1920 Mon
day, when the final arrangements for
pacific blockade of Mexican ports and
other steps in the Presidents program
will be deliberated. The breach that
finally has come with Mexico will
make it impossible, it was declared on
high authority, for the United States
to protect foreigners in the republic
further, and foreign governments have
been notified of the situation in this
regard.
The President, it was asserted, not
only would ask congress for authority
to use the armed forces to uphold the
honor of the nation, but also for an
appropriation, a deficiency already
having been created because of the
expensive naval operations in anticipa-
ton of Huerta's defiance of . this gov
eminent.
The President probably will ask fur
Their that the senate pass the volunteer
act, which already has passed the
house, providing for pressing into reg
ular service the militia regiments in
various states.
In preparation for the crisis that
must be met Senator Shively, chair
man of the foreign relations commit
tee, and Wood, chairman of the fore
ign affairs committee, called meetings
of these committees. Representative
Flood, who is on his honeymoon, tele-
phoned from New York that he would
return at once.

Surrounded With POlCer Plants.
University of Washington, Seattle
The university has within easy reach
more hydro-electric power plants of
engineering interest than any other
university or technical school in the
country. The power plants at Sno-
qualmie Falls, Cedar River, Lake
Tapps, Electron, Nisqually River and
the Elwha are examples of high-class
modern engineering. The several
plants differ, but each represents an
important type. Students from the
University are given opportunity to
see all the important features.
