the railroad having put new life
into all industry there. AT the
Waters Greek terminal OF the rail-
road there Is much evidence OF the
new order Of things. there being q
continuous string OF teams and auto
trucks hauling ore from the mines
and lumber from the mills to be
loaded on the cars and started out
to bring new wealth into the COM
munity The copper mines are max
ing almost daily carload shipments.
and the chrome iron miners are fast
increasing the output Of their work
ings. These. added to the many
shipments Of logs to the Grants Pass
mills are proving that the claims
made for the new hne are to be real
lied. There Is no question about the
trafac that win follow the laying OF
the rails, and with the extension of
the line to Takilma there will be de-
velopment Of industry and Of re-
sources that will surprise even the
most optimistic. The mine and the
min are first to feel the influence Of
the new road. but with another year
agriculture will respond. and hay and
potatoes can be shipped in quantity.
The Illinois valley must also be
drawn upon next year to help supply
the beets FOR the new sugar factory
now In progress Of construction. and
It Is believed that from 1000 to
1000 acres win be grown there.
Isolated as 1t has been by distance
from market. the farming lands Of
the valley have not been developed as
fully a. their fertility and the abun-
dance OF water for irrigation would
warrant. There are no better lands
in the west than those Of the Illinois
valley, including in this the valleys
Of the Sucker and Deer creeks.

MEXICAN PROBLEM
WORRIES PRESIDENT

Washington, July 22.-president
Wilson desires far reaching dis
cussion when representatives of the
United States and Mexico get together
in an attempt to solve the Mexican
problem. II became positively known
today that he does not wish the scope
OF the discussion limited merely to
military matters. Such questions, he
believes. could be settled by military
officials OF thsstwo countries.
The president. however, is said to
be determined to avoid giving Car
rama. his generals or the Mexican
public the slightest Impression that
the United States wishes to dictate
the Mexican national policy. For
that reason. steps leading up to the
suggestion OF commission to dis
cuss the situation as well as this gov
|ernment's acceptance OF such plan.
have been taken guardedly.
Carranza has been informed OF the
desire OF this government to extend
the range OF the coming inquiry.
Word is now awaited from him re-
garding this feature. It is expected
soon and President Wilson's formal
acceptance of the commission plan
was expected either today or early
next week.
The fact that Luis Cabrera. Mexi-
can minister of finance, together with
men who have taken an active part
in the economic life OF Mexico are
mentioned prominently as Carranzas
choices for the commission. is taken
here to indicate the first chief ex-
pects the coming discussion to eS-
tend beyond the pale of military ac-
tivity.
1t may go so far as to include the
march OF events since the fall Of
Madero.

RUSSIAN CAVALRY

ed methodically on their way to the
northern Galician border southwark
from Lutzk The Russian forces ac-
complished the feat of crossing the
swollen rivers Lipa and Styr In the
face OF the enemy's fire and OF
wrestling the Austrian positions on
the farther bank from the enemy.
Harried for weeks, driven from posi-
tion to position. threatened with en-
veloping movements, both from Lutzk
on the north and from Jabonitza on
the south, the Austrians are surrend-
ering in whole units to the cars
troops, dispatches here declared.
Fast flying cavalry squadrons were
today pressing forward toward Brody
and eastern Galicia from verben.
which point was yesterday wrested
from the Austrian forces. The Cali
clan border lies very close to verben
and II was confidently expected here
today that the Official statement
would reveal Russian troops fighting
on Austrian soil.
Huge Russian masses Of troops are
now concentrating on Jablonitza pass
to the extreme south and pressing
forward. The Russian advance here
is the lower encircling movement.
In Petrograd there Is intense In
terest in news from General Kuro-
patkin's drive at General Won Hind

the roar Of the cars artillery is
plainly audible there and that the
Russian attackers have already swept
across three lines OF German trenches.
The first big batch OF German pris-
oners have arrived at Riga.
Rejoicing over the success Of the

TEXAS PRIMARY
ELECTION HELD

Dallas. Texas, July - Texas
democrats--and that means the
|peepul'-today are .primarying on
everything from prohibition to dog
warden. and from school bonds to
United States sepator.
Today's voter probably faced more
yards of ballot than ever before in
his career, and he only has from s
o'clock this morning until Z o'clock
tonight to figure 1t all out.
What might be the principal issue,
IL anybody but lawyer or pro-
fessional politician could figure 1t
out, would be the question of sub
mission OF statewide prohibition.
The way 1t works out, though, the
voter merely is deciding whether the
democratic nominee to the legislature
shall decide at the next session Of
the lawmaking body to put prohibi-
tion up to the people again to decide
at special election.
In 1887 prohibition was defeated
by so many thousand that no one had
the heart to commit the figures to
memory. Only five years ago, how
ever, the issue was defeated by only
5000 in 100000 votes. Texas has
voting strength OF 625, 900 now and
it Is believed about two-thirds Of this
number will go to the polls today.
Five aspirants, in addition to the
incumbent, are after Uncle Charley"

senate. They are: T. w. Campbell,

ors; John Davis. s. P. Brooks and R.

INrAINTILE PARALYSIS.

The dread disease. infantile para

homes throughout the east. is most
baffling to medical science. Other Of
the scourges. diphtheria. scarlet
fever. Group. and kindred diseases
that were formerly SO feared, have
yielded to science. and now the men
OF medicine know how to meet them
and TO save children from their raw
ages. But infantile paralysis has not
yet been mastered, and parents are
most interested in methods for the
preventing Of the appearance Of the
disease. DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, com
missioner Of health OF Pennsylvania,
has written the following ccmpre-
hensIve note upon the subject for the
papers of the United Press:
"Infantile paralysis is a disease
that affects the nervous system. 1t
often causes death, and again. the
acute stage frequently subsidies and
leaves paralysis OF one or more OF

causes the disease. therefore preven-
