WHY COW CREEK cANYoNs

WHY COW CREEK CANYON?
There Is a stretch OF road along
the Pacific highway in the southern
part OF Douglas county that has long
been known as 'the canyon" or the
"Cow Creek Canyon" but just why
this last most uneuphonious designa-
tion It Is difficult to determine. for
the canyon itself is traversed by Can
yon creek, and not by Cow creek,
which makes q wide detour on the
other side Of the mountain. But the
name Sow Creek Canyon" is asso-
ciated with this magnificent stretch
Of scenery. and unless some oficial
efforts are made to change It. this
name viii hang to II through all time
to come. Inasmuch as both the state
and county are putting forth ef-
forts which will result in making this
once almost impossible way one Of
pleasure and delight, with its hideous
memories of quagmire and rut only
. hazy nightmare, It is only proper
that II now be given name by which
Its grandeur will be known and per-
petuated. a name more suited to Its
greatness and which will at the same
time give recognition to one Of the
most historic men in the early his
tory Of Oregon. 1t has been sug-
gested that "Applegate Canyon"
would be the most appropriate that
can be selected, and this with direct
reference to Jesse Applegate, one Of
the earliest and most prominent pio-
neers Of Douglas county. The early
history Of this county, which is al
ready almost tradition. credits him
with being one Of the very first white
men who came through the canyon,
and the difficulties he encountered
from high waters and marauding In
dams were sufficient to make the
stoutest heart waver and hesitate be-
fore proceeding further. But the
Revolutionary stock from which he
sprung would not permit any turn
ing back, with the result that the
history Of Oregon, and especially
Douglas county. is incomplete with
out reference to the name and deeds
OF Jesse Applegate. What better
monument could be erected for this
. indomitable spirit than to name this
canyon in his honor?-Roseburg

ARE
PREPARING FOR
1916 CAMPAIGN
BY n. c parke.

New lork, OCt. 2Ss--RcpuuhSah
forces are lining up for 1916. The
national committee will meet In
Washington December IA to select
a convention city for next year and
to mobilize the hosts for presidential
year campaign, Chairman Hilles an
nounced today. He indicated the
main lines OF the campaign to re-
store the republicans to power will
be:
An attack on the tariff.
Criticism OF the administration
handling of Mexico and European
foreign affairs.
Charges that the democrats failed
to keep their economy and other plat
form pledges, including the single
term.
Attacks on the ship purchase bill
and other administration measures.
There is no lack Of interest in
the race" Hilles declared. 1T COM
pares fayorably with four years ago.
In some states with 'favorite sons
things are getting lively. True. the
situation differs from the last two
or three decades. From group OF
possibilities then. there is now no
outstanding leader. Whether this
situation viii continue until the open
ing OF the convention or whether
there will be simmering down Of
candidates can not be stated"
Active organizations are In the
field for Burton. Borah, Weeks,
Cummins, Sherman and Smith. Such
active receptive candidates as
Hughes, Root, Knox, Fairbanks and
Governor Brumbaugh Of Pennsyl-
vania have strong followers.
The early ballots may be scattered
for the ''favorite sons"
Hilles' attention was called to re-
ports that in many places the pro-
gressives are returning to the
G.. o. P. avowedly for the purpose OF
forcing Colonel Rooseyelt's nomina-
ton.
mo such reports have reached
me-" he said. There Is no evidence
to substantiate them. Illinois, for
instance, where the progressives have
returned to the republican party, will
give its delegation to Sherman,
believe, and has no intention OF turn
ing to Roosevelt. 1t is the same else
where where there are 'favorite
sons"
do you think 1t is possible for
Roosevelt to capture the republican
nomination" I asked.
THAT is possibility do not care
to discuss" Hilles answered.
Hilles was positive that Taft will
not be a candidate. He declared the
former president is enjoying private
life and would not resume the bur-
den Of public office under any cir
cumstances.
Though believing that the i'll
feeling Of cotton growers over the
administrations foreign policy may
cost the democratic nominee some
votes, Hilles said:
1T will not cost President Wilson
If he is the next nominee--any
votes in the electoral college. The
opposition OF the cotton growers will
be felt in another form. They will
help elect congressman opposed to
democratic measures. But Judging
from reports, we will not need south
ern votes to elect a republican presi-
dent"

DLANCO shot FOR TREASON
Mexican Leader Who Adhered to
Gutierrez Put to Death by Firing
Squad of villistas

Washington, March 25.-General
Lucio Blaneo, who has been called "the
Phil Sheridan of the Mexican revolu-
tionists because of his dashing quail.
ties as cavalryman, has been put to
death by a firing squad of Villa troops
after trial on charge of treason to
the Convention Government of Mexico
The killing of General Blanco took
place some time ago at Aguas Calientes,
but the facts had been suppressed. Gen.
eral Blanco, was Minister of the In
terror in the Cabinet of Provisional
President Gutierrez and was one of
the small group of Cabinet leaders who
accompanied Gutierrez when he fed
from Mexico City toward the end of
january. Blanco was captured by Vii
listas, taken to Aguas Calientes and
tried by court-msrtial. 1t was alleged
that he had failed to uphold the Con
vention Government and was found
guilty and was led before the firing
squad.
Blanco was the second general to be
put to death by Villistas for treason
since the fight of Gutierrez. The other
was General Mateo Almanac, who was
recently shot by Villista troops, after
trial, at Torreon. Almanac, after the
Hight of Gutierrez, supported the latter
and then went over to the Carranzistas.
Blanco was one of the foremost gen
erals of the revolutionary movement
against Huerta.

GOVERNOR making FIGHT
FOR Child LABOR Bill.
Halts Committee When He Learns It
Is About to Report Bill Other Than
the Administration Measure Pre-
pared by Attorney. General

The Manufacturers Committee of
the House was to have held meeting
yesterday afternoon and take some ac.
tion on the child labor bill, but Cover
nor Brumbaugh got word that the com
mittee intended to report out the bill
prepared by the Congress of Mothers
instead of the one prepared by Attor-
ney General Brown, and known as the
Brumbaugh bill. He hurriedly sent
for Representative Cox, chairman Of
the committee, and had the meeting
postponed.
Later Governor Brumbaugh sent for
Senators Crow and McNichol and
served notice on them that he proposed
to press the passage of his bill despite
the opposition of manufacturers, and he
would make the issue between his meas
ure and that presented by the Congress
of Mothers.
81 will meet some of the manufac-
turers at the Bellevue -Stratford Satur-
day morning, at IL clock, and ex-
plain the continuation school features
of the child labor bill,' declared the
Goverpor after meeting the leaders.

fair and workable and will make the
bill better than it is, / certainly have
an open mind in the matter; but they
must remember that the time has come
in Pennsylvania when we must have

1884.
Two years later an attempt was
made to repeal that act, but one Thad-
deus Stevens stood up against his par
ty and won the fight against the re-
pealer. We would never get the con
tinuation school if We waited upon the

BIG BREADSTUFF EXPORTS
Shipments for Eight Months More
Than Triple

w shington, d. c., March 25.-Amer-
lean breadstuffs worth $357,091, 1928
were shipped abroad during the eight
month period ending February 2S, as
compared with $115,215,SS1 for the
same period of the preceding year.
Figures given out yesterday by the
Department of Commerce showed the
greatest increase was in wheat exports,
which rose from $67,654,60S a year
ago to $229,205,142. For the last
month alone, breadstuff exports totaled
$62,S75,959, compared with $S,772,,
zoo in February, 1914, and wheat cx.
ports increased from $3,S93,S95 to
$3S,399,99S. The Department s tables
do not show the destination of these
shipments, although it is known that
the great bulk of them went to feed
soldiers and civilians in belligerent
countries of Europe.
Exports of corn and oats also leaned
upward by millions of dollars last
month and the eight-month period, and
in February cotton shipments showed
an increase Of approximately $4,000
0UO over the same month year ayo,
Inc total of cotton exports for tine
elght-month period, however, fell below
the 1914 figure by more than $2uu,.
100000, the respective amounts being,
for 1914, $49S,91O,S5S; for 1915,
$24S,947,124.
Some idea of the part American beef
is playing in feeding the men in the
trenches may be gained from the fact
that exports of fresh beef increased last
month to S17,S13,161, as against
$51S,Ss5 in February of the preceding
year, while during the eight -moath
period the total export was s57 1000, 900
greater than in 1914. Canned beef val
ued at $7,264,720 went abroad last
month, as against s243,766 a year ago.

LIEDKNECHT, SOCIALIST,
MUSTERED INTO THE ARMY

mustered into the army Is member
Of . <landsturm' regiment and assigned
to service in. Alsaee.
The Copenhagen 's-Politikeno print
ed a story Monday to the effect that
Liebknecht had been ordered to place
himself at the disposal of the German
military authorities. This action was
supposed to have been due to his action
in the Reichstag on Saturday in voting
against the adoption Of the budget The
"Politiken" stated that DIR. Lieb-
knecht was directed to consider him
self under the military law and that
he was prohibited from writing articles
or attending political meetings except
those of the Reichstag and Landtag.
Berlin dispatches received in Am
sterdam Monday says the Socialist par.
ty in the Reichstag had given out a
declaration severely denouncing the
''breach of discipline committed by
DR.. Liebknecht and his colleague Herr
kuehle, in voting against the adoption
of the budget.
DR.. Liebknecht is perhaps the most
widely known Socialist in Germany. He
frequently has protested vigorously
against the war and was reputed in De-
cember last to be the leader of secret
German peace movement. Early in
} January he appealed to the newspapers
and labor leaders to end the conflict.
He had previously been disavowed by
his party associates in' the Reichstag
and speech he made early this month
in the Prussian Diet resulted in pro-
test from other parties.
