In Venezuelan Forests

There were many good rubber for
ests in the interior Of Venezuela in the
old days, and for several years 1 was
engaged, sometimes alone and some
times in partnership, in Quitting
"grubstaking ng"-native rubber cutters
and then buying the crude rubber upon
their return to my camps, writes an ex.
plorer. My own profit on the rubber
was about 500 per cent, but this did
not, as you may think, represent an
imposition on the natives, since my
own posts were far in the interior. and
l had lot of trouble in getting the
product out to transportation. One of
my routes Of travel was by the many
lagoons and rivers which indent the
Venezuelan coast, by means of which
men in canoes can penetrate far into
the interior of that wild region. The
Guawoona country was at the end of a
considerable chain of lagoons, and
where the ground rose rather abruptly
into the hilly and almost inaccessible
forests. This was good rubber country
and, though the Guawoonas themselves
never brought down any rubber, they
were exceedingly jealous Of anybody
invading their chosen domain.
l had several bands of halfbreeds
working for me who would hunt rub.
Der as a miner does gold. No chances
were too great if they promised a good
haul of rubber. Several sanguinary
conflicts had occurred with the Qua.
woonas, and l almost decided to forbid
my men entering their territory, al
though there was little hope of con.
trolling these resolute natives or
knowing where their trails would lead
once they plunged into the tropical
jungles.

This latest Mexican outrage, which
may easily ripen into general war
with Mexico, is the necessary result of
Mr.. Wilson'S blunders. What business
had he ''to but into use his own
phrase-and make trouble in Mexico
when Huerta had established the
strongest government that distracted
country had seen since the flight of
Porfrio Diaz?
Major Cassius E. Gillette, a West
Point graduate who knew Huerta well
and knows the whole Mexican situation
thoroly, declares he was innocent of the
Madero murder, and, moreover, that he
had set up a strong and stable govern
ment, and was in full control of the
country when Mr.. Wilson interfered,
and by taking sides with the revolur
tionists, Villa and Carranza, allowing
them arms but denying arms to Huerta,
caused his overthrow and all the trouble
that has since foIlowed-those murders
of hundreds of Americans; the absurd
Vera Cruz invasion that cost the lives
of 20 of our marines and 200 Mexicans;
and these latest massacres at Santa
Isabel and Columbus.
We are sorry, but, the discreditable
fact cannot be escaped that the presi-
dents illegal and foolish interference
in Mexican affairs has caused all this
loss of life and property, with the live
liest probability of costly war with the
whole country. Thoughtful Americans
are asking what right or need had Mr..
Wilson to take hand in these MeXican
quarrels? He had none whatever, and
if the outcome of it all be disaster t.
this small and poorly equipt army of
General Pershing, and war with all
Mexico, the people next November at
the polls will show the president what
they think of his folly.

cent on the transaction. The
members of the syndicate were:
Charles P. Martin, Happle Avery

J. Walsh, of 'Westlake, and Oscar
Bevers of Hgerly.
The second tract consisted of a

BIG LOG JAM IN RIVER

A big log Jam containing over
twenty-five millio1 feet of logs is
lodged in the river about three miles
above this city and is holding back a
big head Of water. The jam started
to move Sunday afternoon and it was
thought that it might 60 down the
river and cause considerable damage
probably taking out the upper wagon
bridge. A high wind caused the jam
to turn into a bend however, and is
now believed to be wedged in tighte,
than before. When the jam moved
Sunday it liberated much of the wa.
ter that was being held back and the
river rose several inches in a com.
paratively short time.
