UNITE FOR WAR

Chihuahua, April 23.-Replying
to a telegram from Secretary Bryan.
General Carranza telegraphed today
that the United States is not justified
in occupying Mexican territory. THE
INVASION" says the letter, will drag
us into an unequal war with dignity
but which until today We desired to
avoid. The invasion of our territory
and the permanency of your forces in
Vera Cruz are in violation of the
rights that constitute our existence as
a free and independent sovereignty.
II invite you to suspend the hostile
acts already initiated. ordering your
forces to evacuate all the places they
hold in Vera Cruz and to formulate
before the constitutionalist govern
ment which l represent the demand
Of the United States for reparation
for acts which originated at Tampico
in the security that the demand will
be considered in the spirit OF elevated
justice and conciliation.

orchestra, which showed their in
creasing aptness in the handling Of
the instruments. Professor Vining

a bottle was set on the table and a
cork laidly lightly on top. Boys were
chosen to knock the cork off by
walking straight ahead and swapping

to do the stunt, as the cork is very
deceiving.
Next Horace Reno gave one Of his
splendid violin solos and a thunder

Mr.. Miller was next introduced to
the boys. He is one of the chief Of
ficials Of the Southern Pacific at Red

of transportation, how it had been
accomplished throughout the ages,
from the packs on the backs of man

HinShaW Made Plea
For Prohibition

Those who did not attend the meet
ing Sunday afternoon missed a good
thing.
The address by Hon. Virgil Hin
shaw was clear, forceful and convinc-
ing and those who heard him have a
better knowledge today as to what
the prohibition party stands for and
what they are doing.
He was followed by Ernest f. Tay-
lor, executive secretary of the party.
Mr.. Taylor is young man of strong
personality and his address, although
short, was to the point and served to
clinch the arguments made by Mr.
Hinshaw. The two certainly make a
good prohibition working team.
The prohibitionists are looking op-
timistically toward the coming elec.
tion in November. Although one OF
the smaller parties, they are fast com.
ing into prominence.

urged them to vote, when they were
OF age, for trespass bill which
would prohibit people from walking
on the track. He gave an inspiriting
talk which aimed to create a sense
of responsibility in the boys. and he
certainly fulfilled his purpose.
+. l.. BurkhaIter OF Portland gave
short talk. He brought out and
emphasized the points made by Mr..
Miller, and his idea of the elements
to make a success in a boy.
The high jinks' to be pulled off
in May was explained. 1t will be
held near Rogue river in the park
owned by f. f. Bagley. who has
shown such an interest in the BOYS
Club. There will be swimming races,
water polo, foot races, baseball game,

ludicrous costumes. A great barbe-
cue OF bee fand turkey will be served

More Thorough
Cooperation Urged

II. F. Davidson of Hood River,
president of the Northwest Fruit Dis
tributers, and Wilmer Sieg, sales
manager of the same, talked to the
growers Monday night on the Need
Of Cooperation in Marketing Fruit. "
Mr.. Davidson told the growers the
need of getting together and cutting
out the consignment to commission
houses, if past experience is to be
avoided.
Mr.. Sieg stated that the greatese
necessity today is to have every grow
er of the valley identified with its
association. The Independent ship
per in the future is liable to be a
detriment to his district. Organiza-
tions can arrange marketing when
they can absolutely control the prod
uct, but local competition will always
prove disastrous, as 1t takes away
the essence of stability that the dis
trict needs. Mr.. Sieg also referred
to the possible tonnage in the four
northwestern state in figures that
we're very surprising. Mr.. Sieg gave
this as a reason that the fruit pro-
ducers must work for closer CO.
operation.

few feet in front of the Plaza grocery
by reducing the corner of the side
walk. 1t is believed this can be ac-

pedestrians and increase convenience
in turning the sharp corner. Auto
drivers frequently find it difficult to
turn this corner without keeping too
close to the walk. The matter was

investigation.
