battle, defeated, and his men scat
tered, captured and killed, by Ameri
cans today.
The capture was made by Maximil-
ano Marquee, it was said. He is an
employe on a ranch at Babricora and
now is at MADEIRA keeping order with
about 1875 Americans and few Car
rama soldiers.
Forty of Rodriguez's men were re-
ported captured and held at MADEIRA as
prisoners, where it was said they will
be shot as bandits.
A call for help preceded the capture
of Rodriguez, later advices stated.
The Americans heard that Rodri-
guez and his men were burning
bridges below MADEIRA and called for
help from Chihuahua and asked that
troops be rushed there.
Without waiting for the troops,
Marquee attacked the bridge burners
with 1875 men drawn from Americans
and the garrison at MADEIRA. After
the capture the call for help was re-
peated.
Consul Garcia has been appealed to
by the state department to rush troops
to MADEIRA.
General Jose Rodriguez was charged
in first reports with responsibility for
the massacre of Americans at Santa
Ysabel. Reports of Mexicans on the
train, however, charged General Ray
ma, Colonel Pablo Lopez and General
Baltran with the personal direction
of the bandits.

Hot Springs, Va, Jan. 7.-"Sleuthed
Through a Honeymoon"
What splendid title for detec-
tive story! 1t seems too bad that
I must waste it on a mere news event,
even if it does concern the president
of these United States and his beau
tiful wife.
l came here to this lovely Virginia
resort to wander along "the honey
moon traiT' of our foremost citizen
and the new "frst lady"-to tell the
people of this country of Mr.. and
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, bridal lovers.
imagined the passage of tender
glances between the two, of his help
+ ing her over these rolling hills as
they went on their long, solitary ram
bles, or of isolated tete tetes in dis
tant corners of the Homestead hotel
sun rooms. And the composite pic
ture would show to all Americans the
human Woodrow Wilson-the lover
president.
But just think of being followed
every step by seven secret service
men! Think of having a detective
chauffeur when you motor, detec.
tive caddy when you golf and even a
detective sentry just outside the door
of your bridal suite, not only in the
day, but even at night while you
sleep.
But it's true and also it is why the
40 other plain citizen honeymooners
here at Hot Springs no longer envy
Mr.. ad Mrs. Wilson.
At first they did; you could see it
with half an eye! New little wives
began to doubt they had caught the
most wonderful man in the world
when the great president arrived.
Proud young husbands looked long
ingly on the man so important their
doting brides seemed to forget all
about them when he passed.
But this envy soon wore off. For
even the brides and grooms began
quickly to see that solitude, without
which a honeymoon is not a honey
moon, was denied the president and
the first lady of the land.
Now the official duties of the Unit
ed States secret service are two-"to
detect and bring counterfeiters to
Justice" and "protect the person of
the president of the United States" "
Just at present the service-or an inn
portant part of its working over
time on Item No. 2.
Seven picked men have been as
signed to honeymoon duty" This
means they never lose sight of the
president and Mrs. Wilson for an
instant throughout the day, and guard
them at night with all the alertness
of a first line sentry in the war zone
Five guards seem to have been Sc
lected for Drawn; they are as husky
as the biggest traffic policeman you
ever saw, capable of handling three

that the long-hoped-for improvement
in general conditions is arriving.
The wise business man realizes, as
does the wise investor, that the time

he can rise with the tide.

100000 VOLUNTEERS MAY
BE CALLED TO MEXICO
MEXICAN SITUATION HAS GROWN ACUTE-PREsDENT HAS CALL
ED OUT MILITIA EVERY STATE UNION FOR BORDER
DUTY AT LEAST.

The situation in Mexico has grown
acute within the past week and the
administration is considering calling
out 100000 volunteers. At the pres
ent time there are only two alterna-
tives for Carranza, head Of the Mex
ican de facto government-eit either he
will submit to threats of physical
force contained in Secretary Ian
sings note or he will call on all Mex
leans to make war on the United
States.
In the first event it will require an
army of 100000 men, the number of
the state militiamen that have been
called out by the president, and sup
plemented by the army which is al-
ready there, to carry out the present
policy of the government. In the
second event, officials have declared
it will require probably half million
more men to face the situation in
Mexico.
When the call for the state militia
came, Oregon was second on the list
to respond. Washington was first,
and Khaki-clad men all over the ma
tion are hurrying to the colors.

OF the Mexican de facto government.
De facto government failed to avail
itself of the opportunity to establish
peace and order in Mexico.
Banditry and outrages against
American citizens both in Mexico and
across the border continue without
hindrance.
United States government strives
to suppress chaos and murder by ap-
pretending the ringleader, Villa, and
his band of outlaws.
In Villa chase, Carranza acts as a
hindrance rather than help to this
government
De facto government asks for the
immediate withdrawal of American
troops from Mexico.
Request is not complied with for
the same reason that United States
originally sent troops into Mexico,
that is, Carranza has never shown yet
that he intends to restore order
among his people and arrest any fur
ther destruction of American life and
aroperty.
Secretary Lansing points out in his
note to Carranza that it Is not terri
tory which the United States desires,
for had this been the case, much
better oportunity could have been
taken advantage of several months
ago, when Mexico was badly rent with
internal strife.

HEPPNER'S 3RD vlfEAT
After Leading Several Innings to 3,
Locals are Overwhelmingly Beat
en- by Score of IL to 2.

The lone jinx proved Heppner's
tndoing for a third time this season,
at the depot grounds Sunday, and af-
ter it seemed that the local boys sure
ly had the game salted away for
keeps, the jinx came in for several
runs for the visitors. The final score
was II to Z with lone on the long end
of the scoring.
For several innings, beginning with
the 1st frame, Heppnar took the lead
and before the game had progressed
far, the score keeper had chalked up
six runs for the locals and only three
for the visitors.
Sperry, pitching for the visitors,
got off to bad start and things look
ed blue for him up to the fifth inning.
It was here that Cochran, lone back
stop, was forced to leave the game on
account of an injured finger. His
place was taken by Coshow, who had
been playing in the outfield. At once
Sperry's form seemed to change and
his work from there to the finish was
Of high order.
The home guard now has enough
material, if handled right, to make a
winning ball team. They showed up
individually better last Sunday than
at. any time since the season opened.
Decker, a new man behind the bat,
is proving the mainstay of the entire
team. Fulwider's support in the last
game was good and his arm was
working better near the finish than
it was at the beginning.

PIONEER
PASSES N PORTLAND
Peter Borg Came to Morrow County
in 1880 and for Years Was Lead
er in Heppner's Business
and Political Life.

Peter Borg died at his home in
Portland Sunday morning after lin
gering Illness At the time of his
death he was rs years of age, being
born in Christianstod, Sweden on
February 80, 1S40. Although Mr..
Borg had been continuous resident
Of Heppner for long number Of
years, he removed to Portland a few
years ago, after he retired from bus
mess.
Mr.. Borg received his education in
the public school and the military
academy in his native country, taking
an exceptionally thorough course in
the latter institution. He served In
the regular army for six years. In
the year 1856 he was married to Miss
Annie Anderson and two years later
they left the old country, coming to
America. They stopped first at Chi
cago, where Mr.. Borg opened up a
jewelry store. From there the FAM
lily moved to Carroll county, Missou-
ri and Mr.. Borg followed the farming
industry for ten years.
After spending ten years as a far
mer in Missouri, Mr.. Borg needed the
call of the west. He fitted out a
prairie schooner and started on the
qong overland journey. Six months
time was taken up in this trip, Mr..
Borg taking plenty of time to look
over the territory through which he
passed.
Upon arriving in Heppner, Mr..
Borg opened up a jewelry store and
became one of the city's most active
citizens. In 1894 he was elected
mayor and served with credit to him
self and town for one term. He made
a success of his business and invest
ed considerable money in Morrow
county wheat land and city property
in Hepnper. He later disposed of his
farming land but up to the time OF
his death still owned valuable bust
ness lots and residences in this city
Mr.. Borg was once member OF
the Oregon National Guard, being
second lieutenant of Company E, 3rd
Regiment, and was officer in charge
of the regiment which greeted the
representative Of the railroads at
the driving of the golden spike which
commemorated the completion of the
line into this section. He was mem
Der of Heppner Lodge No. 50, A. F
& A. NJ, and charter member OF

The funeral was held on Wednes-
day afternoon at 1880 o'clock from
the South Methodist church, with
which he had been affiliated when liv-
ing here. The sermon was preached
by Rev. w. B. Smith and the church
was filled with old friends and lodge
brothers. There were many beautiful
floral offerings and music by the spec.
ial choir. Miss Edith Thorley sang
"Face to Face"
The Masonic lodge conducted itS
ritualistic service at the grave.
The deceased is survived by Mrs
Borg, two daughters, Mrs. J. G
Swope and Mrs. H. A. Wright, ant
two sons Frank and Oscar. They
were all present at the funeral.

THIRTY TWO CENTS
PAID FOR WOOL.
Local Growers Receive Flattering
Bids, But Few Sell.-Ike Howard
Gets Highest Price.-Many
Refuse to Offer Clips
For Bids.

Ike Howard received the high price
of the 1916 wool sales held in this
city last Saturday. He sold his clip
consisting of 2700 pounds of coarse
wool to Crimmins & Pierce of Boston.
The price received was 80 cents. So
far as we know, this is the largest
price offered this year to any Oregon
wool grower.
The entire sale was marked with
the Indifference on the part of the
growers to sell their clips. Many Of
the sheepmen refused to put up their
wool for bids, probably thinking that
they will be able to sell at better
prices at private sales. All bids Of
fered Saturday were high, in view of
prices offered in previous years.
The following clips were bid on
Saturday, some selling and some

FARMERS PICNIC
IS BIG SUCCESS
Hundreds of Visitors Attend Farmers
Party and Listen to Addresses.
j. d. Brown Explains
Rural Credits Bill.

The Third Annual Farmers Union
Picnic was held in this city last Sat-
urday according to schedule and hun
dreds of visitors from over the coun-
ty were present to inGuIge in the
pleasures of the day.
The program opened at IL o'clock
in the morning at the fair grounds,
platform having been constructed out
in the open under the spreading
shade trees, where seats had been
provided. Mayor S. E. Notson ex-
tended welcome to the visiting farm
ers on behalf of the city of Heppner.
III his few remarks he paid tribute
t the farmer and spoke of tie com
munity idea, an idea which is grow
ing each year. Formerly the town
people went to the country for an
event of this kind, but now according
to Mr.. Notson, the country people
come to the town. Mr. Notson drift
ed into his favorite subject, that of
education, and spoke briefly of the
important part which the farmers are
taking in educational advancement.
Learning of the growth Of plants,
said Mr.. Notson, lis as important, if
mot more important, than extracting
the cube root in figures
Mr.. Notson's address of welcome
was responded to by E. R. Huston,
president of the Morrow County Far
mers' Union. President Huston stat
ed that the idea among many people
was to the effect that the Farmers
Union was organized with view OF
putting the retail merchant out OF
business. MIR. Huston refuted this
and in addition read the preamble
and the constitution of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union
Of America. vs
+ C. P. Strain, county assessor OF
Umatilla county addressed the au-
dience at some length treating the
trust question and showing the rela-
ton of the Farmers Union to the big
trusts and the work which the Union
is doing to bust the trusts and cut
down the present high cost of living.
]. D. Brown, state president of the
Farmers Union, discussed the rural
credits bill which will be on the bal
| lot in November. This bill is con-
sidered the best in the line of farm
credits that has yet been proposed
and if it is passed. it is believed by
those who know, that it will mean
much for the agricultural advance
ment of the State of Oregon.
A little diversion was brought
about in the afternoon through line
of sports which took place on the
street, Just outside the fair grounds.
Goldie Cummings won the small girls
race; Conser Adkins was winner of
the sack race; Jimmie GOWNS won
both the 1OO-yard and 50-yard dashes
and Carl Cason won the potato race.
Free dancing in the pavilion in the
afternoon proved to be an attraction,
many of the young people indulging
in this favorite pastime. The Uni
ted Orchestra of Pendleton, under
the able leadership of R. w. Fletcher,
furnished the music. A grand ball
was given in the evening which was
one of the big successes of the season.
1t has not yet been announced
where the Farmers will hold their
next annual picnic, but it will prob
ably be either at Lexington or lone.
