Silence Of Mexico City Alarming;
Washington Fears Further Fighting

Washington, d. C.-Anxiety was
increased Saturday in official quarters
over the situation in Mexico City,
with which the state department has
been unable to communicate for sew
eral days.
Brief dispatches from Vera Cruz
said that the Carranza officials were
much chagrined at the apparent fail
ure of General Pablo Gonzales to enter
the capital.
Reports that Gonzales was engaged
in an artillery duel with the Zapatistas
gave the first indication that the Villa
Zapata forces in Mexico City had de-
termined to offer resistance to the in
vading CarranZa army instead OF
evacuating.
Reliable information indicates that
General Gonzales himself cut the line
of communication between Vera Cruz
and Mexico City in order to isolate the
Zapata forces.
Famine conditions in Mexico City
with the investment by a new army In
progress, fears are expressed that
much suffering to foreigners will en-
sue.
While it has been generally under
stood that there will be no further
development in the general Mexican
situation so far as the United States
is concerned until the return Of Presi-
dent Wilson from Cornish, 1t Is
thought in official quarters that the
situation in the southern capital may
force new crisis.

OREGON NEWS OF GENERAL INTEREST
Medals Awarded Oregon Schools.

Exposition Grounds, San Francisco
The Oregon school exhibit in the Pal.
ace of Education won the gold medal
on Fairgrounds as portrayed in the off
cial pamphlet, silver medal on indi-
vidual club work and the silver medal
on its exhibit as whole.
This recognition was gained in the
face of the fact that the principal Ore
gon exhibit and all other exhibits of
the Oregon school children are in the
Oregon state building and were not
entered for awards. Two-thirds Of the
states have elaborate exhibits, many
spending as much as $40, 900 and none
less than $4,000. Oregon's exhibit
cost the state $1,000.
Miss Stuart, of the Lux Girls
School, San Francisco, says:
There is no exhibit of sewing on
the grounds that equals that of the
Oregon school children in the state
building"
Great credit is given E. F. Carlton
for the installation.

During the first crusade In 1876,
Pope Urban II assigned to all OF the
Christian nations as standards crosses

were engaged. To the Scotch troops

of south Britain were to carry at
their foremasts the red cross OF St.
George and the ships of north Britain
to carry the white cross of st. An

The new flag was known as Kings

ton, however, not until 1907 did par
lament pass an act definitely uniting
the two countries and their flags. In
the same year the government issued
regulations requiring the navy to use
what was known as the white ensign:
the naval reserve, the blue ensign;
and the merchant marine, the red en-
sign. Owing to the fact that the Brit
lsh merchant vessels were everywhere,
the colonists in America came to look
upon this red ensign as the flag of
Great Britain.
The people in the New England col
onies were bitterly opposed to the
cross In the flag. In 1885 some of the
troops In Massachusetts declined to
march under this flag and the military
commissioners were forced to design
other flags for their troops with the
cross left out. The design they adopt
ed has not been preserved. In 1852 a
mint was established in Boston.
Money coined in this mint had the
pine tree stamped on one side of 1t.
The pine tree design was also used
on New England flags, certainly by
1904 and possibly as early as 1886.
At the outbreak of the Revolution
the American colonies had no flag
common to all of them. In many cases
the merchant marine flag Of England
was used with the pine tree substi-
tuted for the Union Jack. Massa-
chusetts adopted the green pine tree
on q white field, with the motto: "An
Appeal to Heaven" Some of the south
ern states had the rattlesnake flag
with the motto Don't Tread on Me"
on white or yellow field. This flag

Four Are Trapped in Fire.

Baker-Four persons had narrow es-
capes from fire that destroyed the
residence of Mrs. Eliza Carroll, of
North Union, Monday.
John Donovan rushed into room of
the blazing house to save some house
hold articles. The door slammed shut
and there being no knob he was unable
to get out. After vainly cropping in
the smoke to escape he cried for help
and was rescued when nearly suffo-
Gated. He was severely burned about
the face and hands.
Mrs. Carroll and her two sons were
asleep when the blaze started from an
unknown cause in the kitchen. The
fire had a good headway before the
smoke awakened them and they were
barely able to escape. All are ill
from the effects, and Donovan's con-
dition is serious.

Re-assessment Is Legal.

Salem - Holding that re-assessment
of property for the construction Of
sewers in Riverside sewer district,
Portland, was valid, the Supreme
court, in an opinion by Justice Harris,
affirmed the decree of Circuit Judge
Davis in the suit of Portland against
H. R. Blue and numerous other prop
erty holders.
The validity of an ordinance passed
in 1911 providing for the re-assessment
was attacked by the defendants, who
alleged that re-assessment was made
under the old charter. 1t was contended
that the charter under the commission
form of government repealed the old
charter. The Supreme court, however,
held that provisions relating to the re-
assessment were re-enacted in the new
charter, and hence the re-assessment
was legal.

Decision MAY Bring Suit.

Salem - Foreign corporations which
paid to the state about 800, 900 under
graduated tax law passed in 1903
and pronounced by the Supreme court
to be unconstitutional cannot recover
the money, according to an opinion of
Attorney Geseral Brown in reply to a
query of Corporation Commissioner
Schulderman. The attorney general
held that the payments were voluntar-
lily made in contemplation of the laws
and decisions of Oregon, and conse-
quently the companies cannot be reim-
bursed.
Prior to the decision of the Supreme
court the 1918 legislature, being ad-
vised that the law probably was un-
constitutional, passed an act providing
for fiat annual license. Corporations
asking for a return of their money say
the law was void from the start, and
it is believed that suit will be brought.

Boys Go To College.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vaIlis-For the third time number Of
boys Of the grade schools of Oregon
are taking the short course in agri-
culture at the State college. AS in
previous years the boys enjoy the work
as well as profit by it. The preceding
sessions we're successful from the
standpoint Of all concerned. Regular
hours were observed and the customary
boys rules enforced. The big brother
idea was worked out by assigning each
group of ten boys to a student in
structor who became responsible for
their conduct and general welfare.
The boys show great interest in
their work and while there are as
usual a few cases of homesickness
among the smaller boys, they are in
variably glad they came and are sorry
to leave at the end of the term. Aside
from the value Of the work in the reg
ular courses there are many advan-
tages in the trip to the college town,
the experience of being away from
home and living on a college campus.
"While any boy in the state is elig-
ible," says Director E. D. Ressler,
"care should be exercised in approval.
Boys of good habits, trustworthy and
eager to learn are especially desired.
There is no room for the cigarette
smoker or the loafer, but wide awake
up-to-date American boy is lively
animal and is not expected to be as
dignified as college professor. There
are plenty of good lively sports and
ample opportunity is given for work
ing off excess animal spirits.
''The object of the course is to fur
nish the boys interesting information
that will be of practical use to them
Immediately, and give them apprecia-
tion of the vast extent of their sub
jects and encourage them to pursue
their Investigations further"

Eugene-C. E. Shumway, plumber,
was elected member of the city council
from the Second ward. The election
was made by the council to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
George Bogue. For three weeks the
councilmen have sidestepped this
issue, and the mayor finally forced a
vote when another effort was made to
postpone.
Mrs. R. McMurphey was elected a

five years.
She defeated L. E. Bean, ex-state
senator from Lane county, two to one.

Coos Bay Mills Open.

Marshfield-There is general i'm
proyement in business conditions in the
Coos Bay district, and although it has
not been marked it is of such nature
that it is readily recognized.
Within the past five weeks three
logging camps have resumed work,
giving employment to about 200 men
fourth camp opened and employs 20
men; a fifth camp is to open immedi-
ately after the Fourth of July and will
employ so men; the Coos Bay Mill
company will start operations the next
week after the Fourth of July and will
need about 40 employees; the Warren
Construction company is laying nine
blocks of paving in the city of North
Bend and is working large crew;
laying of steel on the Willamette-Pa-
cific started June 18, and crew of 80
men will be busy for several months
working the tracks towards Lakeside
and tunnel No. z; several piling camps
are busy filling orders for the William
ette-Pacific bridge on Coos Bay, and
in general numbering is much alive.

clude the large C. A. Smith plant, the
Bay City mill. belonging to the same
company, the Simpson mill at Porter,
the Swayne & Hoyt mill at North
Bend, all the planning mills and shingle
mills of the Smith company, and the
Allen shingle mill at North Bend.
There is probability that the Mac
leay mill on Rogue River will be
opened on full time this fall and in
that event there would be demand
for at least 100 men.
The coal industry is expected to gain

give much thought in the quiet seclu-
sion of the Cornish hills to the next
step in his new Mexican policy, to the
submarine issue with Germany and to
the discussion with Great Britain over
interference with commerce between
the United States and the neutral ma
tions Of Europe.
Secretary Lansing will do most of
the actual work on the note to Great
Britain now being prepared, but the
president has already gone over with
him the broad questions Of policy in
volved, and will see the note before
it is officially forwarded to London.
He read with deep interest unofficial
forecasts from Berlin that there was
a possibility that Germany's subma-
rine warfare would be somewhat mod
flied, but refused to comment.
The president arrived here after a
trip through Connecticut, Massachu-
setts and Vermont, marked by fre-
quent ovations from crowds which
gathered at every station. He refused
to make any speeches, but smiled
broadly at laudatory comments from
several hundred men, women and chill
dren with whom he shook hands.
