CITY IS EVACUATED
When Herrara's Army Was First
Sighted, Monterey Was Thrown
Into a Panic, Railroad Being Torn
Up and Population Fleeing.
Washington, Jan. 12.-Monterey has
been practically evacuated by Car
ranza's troops according to state de-
partment dispatches received today.
Caused Panic in Monterey.


Laredo, Tex, Jan. 12.-Yesterday 5
panic at Monterey, including the tear
ing up of the railroad, it now proves
was caused by the approach of Her
rara with the friendly Carranza for
ces. They were at first mistaken for
Villas troops. Herrara occupied the
city Monday
When Herrara's troops approach
ed Monterey, and were mistaken for
Villa troops, pandemonium reigned
Banks and business establishments
generally were closed, telegraph op-
orators deserted their offices and
there was a general flight from the
city.
General Herrara hurriedly sent out
scouts, who informed the populace
that no Villa troops were in sight, and
conditions approached normal again.
Villas capture OF Victoria, capital
of Tamaulipas, has been semi of
ficially confirmed in Nuevo Laredo,
the Mexican town opposite here.
Tampico still is held by Carran2d
forces.
The passenger train over the con-
stitutionalist lines OF Mexico, which
left Nuevo Laredo Sunday night for
Monterey, proceeded only as far
south as Nillaldama, where it was
discovered that the track from that
place toward Monterey had been torn
up for quite a distance by the Car
rama forces in order to prevent the
pursuit by the Villa forces, who de-
feated them at Saltillo and pursued
the vanquished army to Monterey.
This annuls every service on the
road between Nuevo Laredo and
Monterey. The destruction of the
track was done by a wrecking crew
sent out from Monterey Sunday ac-
cording to report.
The alarming news concerning the
destruction of the railway track and
the occupation of Monterey by the
Villa forces caused terror in Nueyo
Laredo and Monday afternoon a
great exodus from the city to the
American side began, thousands Of
women and children rushing across
the international bridge with scant
supplies of household goods and seek
ing refuge in Laredo.

THIRD COTTON GIN
BURNS AT CRESCENT

Crescent, Okla. Jan. 11.-At 400
o'clock Saturday morning fire was dis
covered in the Houghton-Douglass cot
ton gin at this place, and in a short
time the gin proper was completely
destroyed by the flames. The fire
which was of unknown origin started
in the center of the gin and shortly
afterward fire was discovered in the
office. The seed and cotton house was
saved. There was very little cotton In
the gin. Operators were just begin

Italy May Enter, Too.

London, Jan. 12.-.Only a change in
the weather or the entrance into the
war of Roumania or Italy, or both, is
likely TO bring about any marked
change in the military situation in
Europe for some time to come.
What turn the weather will take
no one can predict, but the belief is
growing in the countries allied
against Germany, Austria and Turkey
that Roumania, with her well-train-
ed army of not less than 400, 900
men. will throw herself into the con-
aict at an early date This, in effect,
would link Roumania with the eX-
treme Russian left now forcing its
way into Hungary through Bukowina.
Taking into consideration the Ser
vians and Montent grins. this would
form a line menacing Austria Hun

frontier from Russia to the Adri-

ROAD WORK
WAS BEGUN
YESTERDAY
COMMISSIONER TALIAFERRo HAS
MEN AT WORK EAST AND WEST
FROM LONE GROVE AND WILL
SOON HAVE ROAD IN REPAIR.

Yesterday morning county commits
sioner Taliaferro placed two gangs OF
men and teams to work on the road
between this city and the oil fields
from Lone Grove working east and
west and soon the work will be well
under way, weather permitting The
work is being financed by the busi-
ness men of this city under the drec-
tion of the chamber of commerce and
the secretary stated this morning that
every subscriber was urged to pay
their dues promptly in order that the
work will not be impaired for lack of
funds. Mr. Taliaferro has been very
successful in his road work. Last sea
son he took charge Of the business for
the chamber of commerce and soon
the roads to the fields were in first
class condition.
The weather for the past eight
weeks has been very bad on the roads
and they are in bad condition in sew
eral places, but few days work with
teams and grade will relieve the situa.
tion materially.
The collector for the chamber of
commerce is busy now getting in the
money to continue the work, and the
secretary hopes that every subscriber
will be prompt in their payments.

Just as rumors persisted for DAYS
prior TO Turkeys entrance into the
war on the side of Germany, which
tended to discount the step when it
eventually was taken, so rumors now
center about Roumania and Italy.
There is a strong feeling among the
general public in France and Eng
land that definite action will not long
be delayed.
Meanwhile, the armies already in
the field in the east and west re-
main virtually deadlocked.
In Alsace the French, by sapping
and sporadic charges, continue at
tempts to force their way nearer the
Rhine, but there has been snow in
the Vosges and it is noticeable that
neither side claims any new progress.
The Germans threw heavy reinforce
ments into Alsace after the recent
French advance and apparently they
have been able to hold their ground
in view of the failure of the French
to consolidate the positions they
took after much hard fighting.
With comparative lull in this
quarter and artillery duels predom-
mating near the Belgian coast, fight
ing of a desperate character has
broken out in the center, notably to
the northeast of Scissors, which,
through bombardments, seems likely
to suffer the fate of Rheims and
further east, in the vicinity of Perth
es and Beauseiour, from which point
the allies have been trying to reach
the important railway to the north,
the seizure of which would cut one
of the German main arteries of COM
munication.

John S. Owens Received Rebate on
Shipment Of Stone.

On a shipment of stone made in

a rebate of an amount near s5. On
different shipments made out of here

Mr.. Owens will receive rebates, and
he expects in the aggregate to collect
from the railroads as much as $3.50.
This is {. condition that prevails
with all the shippers in the state, or

is the result of a long drawn out
fight between the state corporation

FERTILIZER.

Indirectly lime is a potent force il
soil building, and approaching TIL:
indisputable fact some of the most
progressive farmers of Polk county
are hoping that the project to manu-
facture fertilizer from the abundant
limestone deposits found here will be
successfully matured. 1t acts as a
stimulant and as an antidote for soil
acidity. Although it is not a plant
food itself, except in very limited
amounts, it promotes the growing If
legumes, and this makes it possible to
cheaply add nitrogen to the soil.
The presence of lime in the soil
where large amounts of fresh organic
matter are present hastens the decay
of this material. Weeds, cornstalks
or straw can be of no use to a grow
ing crop until thoroughly decomposed.
The organisms necessary for bringing
about the rapid decay of this raw ma
terial cannot work in the presence of
acid. Lime neutralizes this acid as
fast as it forms, and the decomposi-
ton rapidly goes on. Lime is com
monty spoken of as fertilizer, and in
this sense it may be so called. Tit is a
well-known fact that soils rich in lime
are nearly always highly productive.
The Monmouth grange first under
took to promote fertilizer manufac-
tory here, and to its efforts the in
vestigations that have thus far been
conducted are due. 1t now only re-
mains to interest capital to make the
undertaking one of the big
industries of the county. The raw
material is here in great abundance
there is an increasing demand for the
product.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1915-11-12
REJECT SUFFRAGE.

Three more eastern states have re-
,iected equal suffrage by decisive ma
jorities, thereby following the recent
example set by New Jersey, which
turned down the plea of the women by
a vote of practically two to one. In
New York, Massachusetts and Penn
slyvania, which recently voted on this
question, the division of sentiment
shown on this question closely cores
ponds to the recent expression of New
Jersey, indicating that in spite of the
earnest efforts of the suffragists the
latter have far to go before they can
hope to win victory for their cause.
The only conclusion to be reached, in
fact. is that while suffrage has made
considerable gains in the west, it will
at least be years before the more con-
servative east is ready to accept it.
while it is conceded the south is still
more antagonistic to this proposal.
In their attitude toward this ques-
tion the general public may be divid-
ed into three classes-those who are
ardently in favor of giving women the
ballot privilege; those who strongly
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1915-11-12

oppose this change and believe it
would be detrimental to public inter-
ests and to the best interests of the
women themselves; and those who are
Indifferent and think it would make
no great difference either way
The result of the recent voting on
this question would indicate, at first
glance, that in the eastern states the
antagonists of suffrage outnumber its
friends by at least two to one. This,
however, probably is an over-estimate
of the strength of the "antis," for
the reason that the neutrals, or indif-
ferent ones, are more apt to vote
against radical innovation than for
it, simply because of the natural ten
dency to oppose experiments and
changes from the established order of
things. This tendency is a handicap
for the sufragists and a help for the
"antis," and largely accounts for
the repeated disappointments Of the
suffragists, when they imagine things
are coming their way and allow their
hopes to correspondingly soar.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1915-11-12

hostile to Great Britain, it is easily
the largest army ever raised by vol
untary enlistment. But the never
ceasing demand for more men will
scarcely be met in the same manner
and sooner or later conscription prob
ably will follow, providing the war
does not reach an unexpected termi
nation.
1t is always a serious matter to i'm
press soldiers in free nation, yet the
time sometimes comes, even in repub-
lies, when this has to be done. Con-
scription took place in our own civil
war, and the public protest in some
parts of the north was as great as
may be expected in England if it has
to be adopted there. A great many
lives were lost in the "draft riots"
in New York.
If England has to resort to con-
scription, it will not mean that the
men of England are less brave and
loyal than those of other nations. To
admit this in view. of our own history
would be to admit that the men Of
the United States are less brave and
loyal than others. 1t will mean on
ly that there are not enough men will
ing to make the supreme sacrifice
perhaps in a great majority of in
stances because they think first of
those whom they would have to leave
at home. AS one has written: "It
means that in the final test the nation
must depend not on personal impulse
to defend it, but on its own inherent
authority to command the services of
its people,
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1915-11-12
ROUND TO COME.

There seems to be little doubt that
England will yet have to resort to
conscription, in spite of the desperate
efforts of the government leaders to
avoid this plan of last resort. The
one great need of the present war, ii
has been pointed out, is for men--and
still more men-and England and her
allies are fighting a nation whose mil
itary system enables her to place on
the firing line every man who is able
to shoulder a rifle and fire it. Wheth-
er the so-called Kitchener army num-
bers 100000 men, as is sometimes
said, or only a million and a quarter
men, as is claimed by those who are
