$4,000 a Day Is Cost Of
Pursuit of Mexican Bandit Villa

Ell Paso, Textile United States
pursuit of Villa, under present ar
rangements, is costing the government
$40, 900 day, according to estimates
made here Saturday by army officers.
Carranza officials, it was learned,
have been discussing with some con-
cern whether American troops during
the Villa pursuit would have to occupy
any Mexican cities and the effect of
such occupation on Mexican public SEN
timent. The Carranza officers have
frankly expressed the hope that the
garrisoning of the cities can be left to
their own troops.
The American army's choice of the
Chihuahua desert as its place of entry
precludes for the present such a prob
lem as city garrison duty.

Changers Hear Address.

Portland-In his address on "Money
and Markets" before Woodlawn Grange
Saturday, A. D. Stillman, of Helena,
Mont, pointed out that farmers can
assist themselves through cooperation
and said that under the regional bank
ing system farmers may organize ma
tional banks, saving from 8 to A per
cent on short-time loans. This has
been done, he said, in Montana, with
the result that the farmers are getting
money to handle their crops at 6 per
cent. Before this cooperation, I"
said Mr.. Stillman, "the farmers were
paying per cent for money to pay for
the marketing of their crops. When
they asked the banks for per cent,
they were told the banks could not
loan them money for less than per
cent. The farmers got together with
the result that they moved their crops
last year on per cent money"

CattIemen Lease Range.

Baker-To make possible the run
ming of large number of cattle in
Eagle Valley, for which grazing priv
ileges were denied by the Forestry
service, the Cattle and Horse Raisers'
association of the section will lease all
privately owned range lands remaining
on Pine Creek, according to Forest
Supervisor Barnes, who returned re-
Gently from trip to Eagle Valley.
The stockmen also decided to i'm
prove on the state regulations provid-
ing a minimum proportion of one bull
for each 80 head of stock, making the
proportion one to 25 instead. Mr..
Barnes reported that the range is in
fine condition.

Long Closed Mil Busy.

Rainier = After closing down for
more than two years, the old Pacific
National Lumber company's mill, re-
Gently sold to the Multnomah Box &
Lumber company by the receiver,
started saving lumber Tuesday.
This same company has purchased
the O. X. Mill, one of the Dodge prop
critics, which adjoins the Pacific Ma
tional mill, and, according to Manager
Mitchell, the new owners will take
enough of the machinery from the o.
X. mill to bring the capacity of the
other up to 1850 feet day. The
remainder of the machinery will be
sold and the buildings razed. This
will give the mill about 5000 feet of
water front and for yards and loading
facilities.

$4,000 Ore Is Reported.

Baker--A gold strike 30 rich as to
be almost unbelievable has just been
made on Canyon Mountain by Denver
Leedy and Lynn George, who have
been working on claim belonging to
]. A. Muldrick. Average samples of
the ore, which have been taken to
Canyon City, assay from $60,0 to
$50, 900 a ton. The mine had been
yielding only average returns until
last week, when sudden increase in
the values contained in the vein was
manifest. 1t is reported that there is
more in sight, but it is not known how
large the high grade ore body will be.
The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1916-03-24

The most conservative estimate places
it at 5000 and calculations range from
that point upward to 5000.
Every precaution had been taken to
prevent the facts being known and
most of the men are kept out side the
town among the hills. Reports from
Aqua Prieta and Ojinaga tell of Mexi-
can reinforcements reaching those
points also, but nothing is known as
to their numbers.
. There is no question that there is
serious and growing uneasiness in Ell
Paso, which has been sharply accentu-
ated by the problem which has arisen
over the request of the United States
to General Carranza for the use of the
Mexican railroads to transport sup
plies.
Torreon, Mex.-Fighting took place
between Carranza forces and small
bands of Villistas at five different
points in the neighborhood of Torreon
Monday, apparently with a view to
reaching the Monterey train, which
was derailed near Pomona two days
ago. The attacks were concerted
against Villisca, Matamorasos, Coyote,
San Igarcio and Canon Chorritos,
where the government patrols success
fully held their ground with but a
small loss in killed and wounded.

a large section of the country supposed
to be held by the troops of the first
chief. In the last few days he has
been variously reported by General
Gavira, the Carranza commander at
Juarez, at points along line reaching
north and south from Galena to Ma
miquipa, distance of about rs miles.
By the same accounts he has not been
moving steadily south, but rowing
north and east. The mountainous,
canyon-split, roadless country in which
he is operating adds many miles to the
country he has covered as compared
with its distance on the map.
The reason for the Carranza troops
moving to the border remains unex-
planned. 1t is impossible even to make
a fair estimate of the number of men
under General Gavira at Juarez. The
large staff at his headquarters and the
fact that new troops are arriving daily
indicates that his force is large one.

Stolen Bill Used in Srain.

New York-A United States govern
ment $40, 900 gold note, one of 20 of
the same denomination stolen from the
mail in September 1912, on the way to
New York from Havana, Cuba, was
received Saturday by bank in this
city, from the American Bank of Mad
rid, Spain. 1t was the ninth of the
stolen notes to reappear since the
theft. As the notes appear they are
given to the insurance company which
paid insurance covering the amount of
the theft.

Water Purifiers Ordered.

New York-Orders were received by
the United States depot quartermaster
here for 125 water purifiers to equip
the American troops in their campaign
against Villa in Mexico. The purifi-
ers are intended to prevent the spread
of disease which might follow the
drinking of unsterilized water from
pools or rivers. They are canvas-cov-
cred rubber bags, each with capacity
Of 20 gallons. When the water is
dipped from pools and placed in the
bags, purifying chemicals are added,
and the water can be safely used.

Beavers Cut Fruit Trees.

Albany = H. F. Struckmeier, of
Thomas, has appealed to the county
authorities for assistance in protecting
his property from the beavers, who
are frequenting his fruit orchard. They
have cut down 80 prune trees, accord
ing to statement made by the county
fruit inspector, who inspected the
premises, and they also cut down five
peach trees. During the recent high
water a portion of the orchard was un-
der water, and it is supposed that the
beavers cut down the trees in an effort
to keep the water on the orchard.

Rangers Will Gather.

Baker-To conduct the annual meet
ing for the foresters employed on the
Minam National forest, Charles H.
Flory, assistant in the district super
visor's Office in Portland, arrived in
Baker this week. All phases of for
estry work will be gone over, special
attention, however, being paid to the
subject of fire prevention. Although
it is thought that the fire season this
year will be comparatively short
one, due to the heavy SHOWS, forest
officials are determined to take no
chances.

Hen Laws 1000 Eggs.

Corvallis, Ore "oregona, "a White
Leghorn hen at the Agricultural Col
lege, has laid her thousandth egg.
This" said Professor Dryden, sis
the greatest long-distance trap-nest
record ever known to the world" At
the end of her fifth year the hen had
laid 987 eggs. She has now laid, at
the beginning of her sixth year, the 13
necessary to make her 1000-egg hen.
Formerly it was believed the domestic
hen could not lay over 600 eggs.

Horses Valued at $4,000 Burned

Detroit = Twelve race horses were
burned to death in fire which de-
stroyed six barns at the Michigan state
fair grounds early Sunday. The horses
were valued at $25, 900 and the loss on
the buildings was about $4,000. The
cause of the fire is unknown. Most Of
the horses burned were being trained
by for competition on the Grand Cir
cult here. Among them were: Aunt
Barb, 2:054; Crescent Hal, 2:104; Ina
Clare and Durin. Three animals were
rescued and dozen or more were re-
moved from adjoining stables.

From the same source it was learned

New Law On Pensions

Few Of the Confedsrzts veter-
ans in Lafayette county appear
70 understand the new state law
which requires that they file with
the chancery clerk new applica-
tons for pensions. and the indica-
tons are that q great many of
them will be deprived of their
meagre pittancs from the state
unless they are again reminded of
the necessity for immediate action.
The new state law is a great deal
more strict than the old one and
each applicant for a pension h.ust
produce ample proof that ne actu-
ally saw service in the Confederate
army.
