|CARRANZA SENDS
| WARNING TO U. S.
Use Of Force on Border Will Be
Considered Unfriendly.
Bryan's Decldration That Retail
alton Would Not Be Inpasion
Is Flatly Contradicted.


Vera Cruz---"If the United States
employes force to stop the firing by
Mox,l., ,..o,, .ha ;n..r..;o,a,
;. =, q -
oouHsary iihe as Naco' II VIII 10 coh-
sidered an unfriendly act, notwith-
standing the friendly motives cloaking
the act"
In this manner General Carranza
made answer, in q statement to the
Associated Press, to the formal notice
served by the United States on both
Provisional President Gutierrez and
General Carranza that unless such fir-
ing ceased force would be employed to
protect American territory.
Carranza's reply to the American
note will be in general reputation
of responsibility for any shots that
have crossed the line, and clearly sets
forth that he and his government will
regard Intervention at Naco as hos
tile and unfriendly act.
At no time since the receipt Of Sec
retary Bryan's note, in which atten-
tion was called to the repeated wound
ing and killing of residents of the town
on the Northern side Of the line, has
General Carranza appeared perturbed,
but he has had long conferences with
those close to him, and, in framing his
reply, it is said, he has been careful
not to let himself remain in any un.
certain light.
General Hill, who is commanding
the constitutionalist forces at Naco, il
on the defensive, continued General
Carranza, "and since his back was to
the line it is difficult to see how he
could be responsible for the firing in
question. The fact is that Maytorena's 4
men have been the attacking party and
therefore it appears reasonably clear
that they, and only they, could have
been to blame.
Gas a matter of fact, do not know
that the rights of the American eiti.
zens have been violated. It seems tt
me that it would be we'll for the State
department to investigate this ques
tion in order to fix the responsibility.

Paso, where the Maderista forces wer,

Fortune TeIlers Barred.

Lubbock - Fortune-tellers now are
forbidden to practice in any part Of
the German empire. Soon after the
war broke out they began to do an
enormous business with relatives Of
soldiers in the field, who wanted to
know how things were going with
them. Visits to the fortune-tellers
often had tragic consequences, as many
of the callers were in high state Of
nervous tension. The uncertainty Of
relatives regarding their men folk at
the front has been aggravated by the
muddle Of field postal organization.

War Threatens Gould Kin.

Breslau--The Breslaur Zeitung de-
mands the confscation of the principal
ity of Sagan, which stands in the name
of Prince Howard, Of Sagan, son Of
Duke Helie and the Duchess Of Tally
rand. The Duchess was Anna Gould
of New York. The confiscation Is de-
manded as a reprisal against the al
legged confiscation Of German property
in France. The principality Of Sagan
embraces the castle of Sagan and 60,-
900 acres. Duke Helie renounced his
title Of Prince Of Sagan in favor of his
son at the time of his fathers death.

Judament Lepu Denied.

Salem Circuit Judge Galloway de-
cided that Mrs. Grace D. Barnes held
title to valuable property in this city,
and that A. B. Spencer, of Los An
geles, who obtained judgment for $780,
900 against her husband, L. s. Barnes,
could not levy on it. Judge Galloway
characterized the decree of the Cali
fornia court awarding Spencer judg-
ment against Barnes as lightning
flash Of snap judgment. The suit re-
lated to profits in mining deal, plain
tiff alleging that Barnes kept money
that should have been divided.

Curru Lepu to Go Hiaher.

Marshfield - Curry county has pro-
vided the expense budget for the sea-
son and 1t is said the levy will be q
little heavier than for 1914. One item
which adds TO the 1915 expenditures is
the provision for reconstructing the
Elk River county bridge, four miles
from Port Oxford, at an expense Of
$4,000. The County court at its recent
meeting agreed it would be necessary
also to allow a considerable increase in
the bills for clerk hire, as the county Is
growing and the official business is in
creased greatly in some lines.

Buena Vista Owing to the loss last
year by growers holding the crop, hop
growers in this vicinity have sold the
greater part Of the 1914 crop. The
hops were held for several weeks in
hopes of higher prices, but as the
prices rose slowly, the growers decided
to sell. The crop was much smaller
than usual this year in the Luckiamute
valley and In many other sections OF
Polk county, but the hops were solid
and Of an exceptionally good quality.
A greater acreage is planned for next
year.

Origin Of Christmas Tree.

The Christmas tree is supposed by
great numbers of people to have orig
mated in Germany, but from a re-
liable source we learn that the Christ
mas tree came in the first instance
from Egypt, and its origin dates from
period much earlier than the Chris
tian era. The palm tree is known
to put forth branch every month,
and spray of this tree with IL
shoots on it was used in Egypt at the
time of the winter solstice as a sym
boil of the completed year.

Song of the
ChristnaSTree
BY Gene Morgan

I come from northern forest lands
Where men would tarry never.
The seasons come, the seasons go,
But am green forever.
The flowers of spring bloom at my feet,
The shadows always spreading #tt
Near by there runs a forest path
Where watchful deer are treading.
The summer passes all too soon,
And autumn winds are chilly.
Poor flowers, they wither, droop and die
Amid the woodland hilly.

Mr.. Smith ground his teeth with
rage. How was he to get that book
away from Snively?

A few minutes later Mr.. Smith ush-

He took the book eagerly and put 1t

smoked and talked, he racked his
brain for scheme to get Snively out
Of the room without his book.
"Good morning. gentlemen. Merry
Christmas"
1t was Smiths partner, Perkins,
who thus addressed them as he came
out of his private office.
Suddenly a brilliant scheme took
shape in his mind. He proceeded i'm
mediately to put it into execution.
"By the way, Perkins, have q
Christmas present for you" As he
spoke, he picked up Snively's package
and, holding 1t SO that Snively could
not see it, walked over the Perkins
and handed 1t to him.
"But--but--" Perkins protested.
"Take 1t and keep your mouth shut,
or I'll choke you'll" whispered Smith
f1ercely.
"Oh, thank you very much" said
the astonished Perkins. well, must

She burrows on until earth's ribs

1O,5OO GERMANS KILLED AND WOUNDED
Hays To Open Campaign. Special to Independent.


 Little Rock, Aug. 5.-Govern- or c. w. Hays will open the Democratic guns in the state campaign at Ola, August IA. This much was decided at the meeting of the executive com- mittee of the state democratic committee, which met in cam paign headquarters Wednesday afternoon.
 There will be a big picnic at Ola on this day, and Governor Hays has been invited to deliver the principal address. If the people do not wish a political ad- dress, the opening of the cam paign will be delayed a day or so and some other place given the honor, but Ola is not ex- pected to pass up the privilege of opening the democratic cam- paign, and fail to entertain the large crowd it will attract.
 It was the unanimous opinion of the committeeman that the Democrats campaign alone, con- sequently there will be no op- posing spellbinders to share the time with Governor Hays at Ola.
 Governor Hays has placed him. self at the disposal of the com mittee, and he will be called up- on frequently to lead the battle against the enemy. Governor Hays has intimated that being at the head of the ticket he is willing to go to the front in it's behalf as often as the committee desires. It is planned to have thim deliver about twenty speeches during the campaign. The committee has list of a. bout 500 speakers that can be called upon at any time to take up the campaign in behalf o1 Democracy.

MRS. WILSON,,
 CONDITION IMPROVED
Wife Of President Is Bearing Up Wonderfully Well Says
 Her Physician.
United Press Dispatch


 Washington, D. C., August 6. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the president, and who is suf- fering from chronic kidney trou- ble and a complication of ner- vous troubles, is making a brave fight, was the statement of Doctor Grayson, her physi- elan today. Her condition is inn proved and she is bearing up wonderfully.
 Mrs. Wilson continually laps ed into coma last night and this morning, oxygen was used to stimulate the heart action.
 The president has cancelled all engagements today and re- mains at her bedside. He kept an all-night vigil there and did not remove his clothes, but is reported to have snatched a few hours of broken rest on a couch.
 Messages of sympathy are pouring in and hundreds have called to inquire as to Mrs. Will sons condition.
 Despite the rally to a hope for recovery, her condition was re- garded as unchanged" at one o'clock this afternoon. Oxygen and other stimulants had to be again administered.
