Carfanza's Mainstay Thought on
Verge Of Deserving Chief.
WASHINGTON EXPECTS COUNTtR-RfvOlT
Villa and zapata Expected to Join
Forces Recognition by U. S.
Would Probably Follow.

Washington, d. c. -- General Alva-
rado Obregon for President of Mexico.
This Is the object of the Wilson ad.
ministration's latest Mexican policy,
according to the admission Monday Of
a member of the cabinet, who has been
chiefly responsible for the President g
plan to pacify Mexico since the resig-
nation of w. J. Bryan.
Obregon, now the most conspicuous
general of the Carranzita forces, ia
bursting with ambition to attain the
presidency Of the Mexican republic
and recognition by the United States
and other powers. He is on the verge
Of a break with First Chief Carranza
and the inauguration of counter rev.
olution in which he would probably be
Joined by Villa and Zapata.
Obregon Is looked on with high fav-
or by the Wilson administration,
which hopes to avoid the necessity of
recognizing Carranza as head Of the
de facto government. The admins
tration believes that obregon is the
only leader strong enough to set up
government and maintain it.
Confidential reports that Obregon
probably will desert Carranza and
carry the greater part of the first
chiefs army with him reached Wash
ington few day ago. The admins
tration was also informed that Car
ranza's apparent success In extending
his military authority is almost entire
ly to the work of Obregon.
AS result Of this intelligence, the
administration decided to proceed
slowly and await developments. Sec
retary of State Lansing has transmit
ted the reports of Obregon's plans to
the Pan-American conference in New
York. The ENJOYS of the Latin
American republics agreed with Mr..
Lansing that it would be wise to post
pone action pending the disclosure of
Obregon's intentions.
For that reason the conference an
nounced the meeting three weeks
hence, at which it will endeavour to
decide which faction is worthy of rec
ognition. If Obregon deserts Car
ranza and develops strong following
he will be recognized by the admins
tration as the de facto president of
Mexico, according to the present
plans.
After the adjournment of the con-
ference, Obregon was informed by his
friends in New York that the situation
favored his contemplated move.

France and Britain Seem Well
On Way TO Success.
MOST AMERICAN BANKERS FAVOR MOVE
Some Opposition Developed Among
German-Americans Bonds to
Mature in S and 10 Years.

New York--America' billion-dollar
loan to Great Britain and France
seemed to be well on the way to actual
accomplishment Thursday night, ac-
cording to bankers familiar with the
pledges secured by members of the
Anglo French financial commission
during their five days stay in this
country.
Announcement at this time that the
success of the loan was assured would
be, these bankers thought, decidedly
premature, but there was every indi-
cation, in their opinion, that the COM
missions work thus far had met with
degree of success that had fully
equaled their expectations.
This view did not coincide with the
sentiments Of those opposing the big
loan, nor of the so-called prot German
financiers here who have not been in
vited to attend the commissions con-
ferences or meet the commissioners.
An effort will be made to sell the
bonds at par, in case the interest rate
should be 5 per cent. Members of the
commission fully believe that such
bonds could be disposed of at par, but
American bankers have their doubts
on this score.
Opposition to the fotation of the
loan is countrywide among Americans
of German sympathies or parentage,
but has strengthened other bankers in
thier determination to aid in floating
the loan, in the opinion of the COM
missions friends, and has not serious
ly impeded the task.
The bonds are to be payable in eth
er five or ten years. Possibly one
series will mature in five and the 9TH
er in ten years. This has not been
decided.
Into the hands of the commission, it
became known many American bank
ers have placed their pledges to take
part of the loan. Not a hint as to the
amount of these pledges was given,
but there were indications that the
sum totaled many millions. These
promises, it was assumed, were con-
tingent on conditions Of the loan.
In nearing the intimate details of
the transaction, the members of the
commission narrowed their conference
to smaller circle of financiers, which
included only the most influential of
the country's financial and industrial
factors. Among the men who are
known to have consulted with the COM
are ]. P. Morgan, George
F. Baker and James J. Hill.

British General Killed.

New York - News of the death of
Brigadier General P. A. Kenna, of the
British army, in an assault on the
Turkish defenses at the Dardanelles
was received here in cable message
from Lord Decies in London to the sec
retary of the National Horse Show
association. General Kenna was one
of the best known officers of the army,
owing to his interest in sports and his
prominence in horse-racing, horse
shows, polo and fox hunting.

Canada to Make Big Guns.

Ottawa, Ont.-Canada is to take up
the manufacture Of field guns and
howitzers for the British government,
it was announced here. This was de-
cided on at a meeting of prominent
statesmen and bankers with General
Sir Samuel Hughes, minister of mill
tia, and General Mahan, Of the British
war Office. No artillery ever has been
made in Canada, but committee was
appointed to organize factories to
handle the business. The manner in
which Canada has filled orders for
shells led to the proposal that artillery
be fabricated here.

Oregon State to Display at Show.

For the second time Oregon counties
and communities are invited to par
ticipate in the Manufacturers & Land
Products show at Portland. The great
fall exposition will open in the Armory
and special buildings on October rs
and close November 13.
Already more than dozen counties
have asked for space. The exposition
comes at time of the year when all
county fairs and the State Fair at
Salem are over, and the agricultural
and horticultural displays will show
the greatness of the state along these
lines.
The exposition will be presented by
the chamber of commerce and the man
agement has decided to give space free
to all counties or communities in the
state desiring to make display. Low
fares will prevail on steam, electric
and boat lines and many Oregon cities
and towns will have special days at
the exhibition.
This year the exhibits will be so ar
ranged and displayed as to give the
consumer a correct idea of what Ore
gon grows and has for sale. While
the show is in progress consumer will
meet producer and the discriminating
buyer will be in position to learn
the location, quality and variety of
soil products in which they are inter
ested.
The exposition will be the direct
means of creating demand for GER
tain articles in which counties of the
state specialize, besides creating many
new markets. The vast array of ex-
hibits will also be of great help to
prospective homeseekers and will pre-
sent to them truthful lesson in Ore
gon geography.
Thousands of visitors will be in
Portland en- route to or returning from
the California exposition at the time
the land show is in progress, and the
exhibits of the soil will be viewed by
people from almost every state in the
Union. Several hundred farmers
from Eastern and Middle Western
states will visit the exposition en-
route to San Francisco to see what
Oregon land produces.

Household Hints

The following has been found
an excellent plan for cleaning mat
ting. First sweep it with stiff
broom along the grain of the straw
then crosswise with softer broom
dipped first in warm water and
then shaken nearly dry. Dissolve
a handful of salt in a pail Of tepid
water, and wash the mating, rims
ing quickly with clean water. This
brightens colored mating, and to
some extent, saves it from fadin G.
Very light mating, the sort usu-
ally called white, after a good
sweeping should be washed with
weak boraX water, or, rather,
wiped over with soft rags wrung
out of it.
If bothered with rust, grease the
part we'll with kerosene and lard
To keep a washboiler from rusting
after using it on washday, wipe
dry, then take a piece of cloth and
saturate with kerosene ,wiping the
boiler inside and out.

Echoes From w. G.
7. u. Convention

After attending the w. c. T. l..
convention at Red Clay Greek and
listening to an address by Mad
anne Layyah Barakat, native Of
Syria, in the course of which she
described the part played by the
olive-tree in her native country,
it seems to me that this infOrma-
tion is well worth passing on.
According to Madame Baraket,
those of us who are inOrdinately
fond Of olives, need not preen our
selves Overmuch on our fastidiouS
tastes. The olives sold in bottles
in this country are the unripe pro-
duct of the tree. The ripe fruit is
the size of a plum, very black and
shiny,and when mature, is attack
ed by tiny insect, which loosens
its hold, and causes it to drop to
the ground. Sharp eyes can easily
detect the oil flowing freely under
the skin.
The olive tree is the supreme
treasure of the Syrian family. The
olive orchards for the entire vii
lage, are utterly without separa-
ton. Each family possesses a GER
tain tract. When the time for
gathering the fruit arrives the
whole village turns out for the
harvest. Suddenly a faint tinkle
of bells breaks upon the air. A
little louder Still more distinct,

Game And Fish
Laws In Delaware

The open season for bass and
pike fishing is now in full swing
and promises to be the best we
have ever had. The ponds and
lakes of Delaware have been stock
ed with fish and many of them are
noted, particularly among resi-
dents of some of our neighbOring
States, as furnishing the best
argemOuth black bass fishing in
the United States. This fish is not
a native of our waters, but seems
to thrive here amazingly, many of
them reaching an enormous size.
1t is now not unusual for a fisher
man to land bass weighing ten
pounds and over. Imagine how
such a monster can make reel
sing.
Pike, too, are abundant, and are
found in many of our fresh water
ponds and streams.
The last Legislature changed
the open seasons for these fish.
They cannot be taken until May
25, five days later than formerly
and the season is extended for
bass to February l and pike to
March /.
In this connection it would be
we'll for all sportsmen, hunters as
well as fishermen to note careful
ly the many changes that were
made in the Game and Fish Laws
by the last Legislature. For some
reason an impression seems to
have been circulated that the
Game and Fish laws were all re-
pealed and done away with. There
is absolutely no ground for such a
report. True, the squirrel season
was changed and the Resident
Hunter License law repealed thus
depriving the State Board of ade-
quate funds for stocking the State
covers and waters, but instead of
repeating the Game Laws or the
Fish Laws, the Legislature not
only retained all the old laws, ex-
cept the two noted above, but pass
ed many new laws, which are now
in effect, and in most cases the
penalty for violation of the laws
was materially increased. The
state has a number of wardens,
all peace officers, such as sherritfs,
constables, policemen, etc, are ex-
nH atn n,.In vnt
to arrest with warrant, whose duty
it is to see that the laws are en-
forced.
