Railroad Surveyors
Working Near StaytOn

Last Saturday a crew of aalf a dozen
surveyors arrived in town with instru.
ments and grade stakes and have since
been running a line east of town on the
MehAma road. They have not followed
any of the old surveys in or out of town
The only information that can be CLEAN.
ed from them is that is railroad sur
vey which will stop at Mill City until
the mountains are free from snow, but
which will eventually 90 through to
Bend, and also that grading will be be-
gun by the first of May. Further than
this we have been unable to learn. The
Salem Journal of the 18th SAYS that a
surveying party started running line
from the Oregon Electric depot south
east from town.
As StaytOn has been favored bv num-
erous paper railroads and "hot air
propositions in the past our people are
not much excited over this survey, but
naturally are all hopeful that it has
some backing. 1t is safe to say that
there ism t better field between Port
land and Eugene for the Oregon Elec-
tric to build branch than through
Stayton to Mill City, as it would cost
little to build and would be profitable
from the start.
There is a great deal of activity in
railroad circles, and this territory is a
virgin fneld, hence it seems reasonable
to expect this year eitner branch OF
the Oregon Electric from Salem or the
extension of the Clackamas Southern
and Mt. Angel South.-Stayton Stand.

I. w. w. WORKERS
MAKE DEATH THREAT
AT CASS LAKE VILLAGE

Ashland, Wis, Aug. 17.-Rodney
McDougal and Olaf Erickson return
ed to Ashland following a fruitless
attempt to reach the harvest fields
of the Dakotas. Because they were
not members of the I. w. W.. they
were held up at Cass Lake by gang
of that organization, who threatened
them with death if they attempted
to reach the harvesting without join
ing the II Wont Workers. ~
According to the young men, they
stopped over night at Superior. They
were arrested by the police on sus-
picion of belonging to the I. w. w.
Although both denied the charges,
they said they were hailed into court
the next morning and fined on
charges of vagrancy.
Desiring to put as much room as
possible between themselves and the
authorities there, they boarded a
train at once, intending to go to the
harvest fields without loss of time.
They reached Cass Lake without trOu-
BILE, but when the train stopped there,
and they went onto the platform to
stretch their legs, they were jap-
preached by four individuals who de-
manded they show the red card that
gives the right of the I. w. w. to
travel around in the United States.
Both attempted to argue, claiming
that the United States was free
country and they could go where and
when they pleased. One of the gang,
who seemed to be leader, Informed
them that while certain sections Of
the country might be open, they were
in a restricted section at the present
time. One of three courses was open
to them: Join the I. w. w. and pro-
ceed;. give up their quest of work
and turn back, or proceed without a
card and lose their lives.
The pair turned back.

THE NATION 10 SHOCKING.
~ UNPREPARED.

It IL apparent that We are
shockingly unprepared. There
is no room for controversy on
this point since the object les
son on the Mexican border. All
our available regular troops
(less, I believe, than 10000 are
there or In Mexico, and as these
have been deemed insufficient
the entire National Guard has
been ordered out; that Is, We
are summoning practically all
our movable military forces in
order to present bandit incur
sions. In view Of the warnings
Of the past three years. 1t is
inexcusable that we should find
ourselves In this plight. For
our faithful guardsmen, who
with a fine patriotism responded
to this call and are bearing this
burden, I have nothing but
praise. But I think It little
short Of absurd that we should
be compelled to call men from
their shops, their factories, their
offices and their professions for
such a purpose. This, however,
is not all. The units Of the Ma
tional Guard were at peace
strength, which was only about
one-half the required strength.
It was necessary to bring In
recruits, for the most part raw
and unframed. Only q small
percentage Of the regiments re-
cruited up to war strength will
have had even a years training
in the National Guard, which at
the maximum means one hun
dred hours Of military drill, and,
on the average, means much
less. Men fresh from their
peaceful employments and ply
sically unprepared have been
hurried to the border for actual
service. They were without
proper equipment; without
necessary supplies; suitable
conditions Of transportation
were not provided. Men with
dependent families were sent;
and conditions which should
have been well known were dis
covered after the event. And
yet the exigency, comparatively
speaking, was not a very grave
one. It involved nothing that
could not readily have been fore
seen during the past three years
of disturbance, and required
only modest talent for organ
ization. That this Administered
ton while pursuing its course
In Mexico should have permitted
such conditions to exist is al
most incredible.-From Mr..
Hughes speech of acceptance.

In the early chapters of the story

ARMENIANS ARE
TURK VICTIMS
Atrocities More Severe Than Ever in
MesopOtamia and Arabian Dis
tricts-Due Russian Success.

Washington, July Authorization
that Turkish atrocities upon Arme-
mans are more severe than ever has
led the state department to consider
making new representations to the
porte. No reply has been received to
representations for the same purpose
made by the United States more than
month ago.
Russians are in control of virtually
all Armenian territory and the Arme-
mans reported subject to new outrages
are those exiled in the MesopOtamia
and Arabian districts
In official quarters here today belief
was expressed that the increased mis-
treatment Of the eXiles was partly due
to recent Russian military successes
against the Turkish forces.
Abram /. Elkus, the new American
ambassador to Turkey, is expected to
take up the question Immediately upon
his arrival at Constantinople. He will
leave this country Aug. II.
