versation. however. he talked most in

leo. He said that the most distress
ing reports were uncolored. and that
the truth was many times worse than
the general public really understood.
And It was rapidly growing worse.
he said. The Mexicans had lost all
fear OF the United States. and Amer
leans In Mexico occupied a plane little
higher In the public mind than the
poems. But the feature fraught with
greatest danger to the United States,
said this diplomat. was the certainty
that sooner or later some European
nation would demand protection for
its citizens In Mexico. protection
that the United States seemed unable
or unwilling to offer. Then there
would be a mighty howl about the
Monroe Doctrine. and grave possibll-
ity OF war with the European nation,
,"For II America will not protect her
citizens. my nation is going to see
that those who still claim allegiance
to its flag get the protection that we

This visitor said that the time was
not far distant when some nation
must step in and bring order out OF
the chaos in Mexico. America had
been given her opportunity. and while
she had stepped in. first at Vera Cruz
and later through the invasion from
the north. each was a farce that fail

COAST HIGHWAY PROBABLE

COAST HIGHWAY PROBABLE
There seems prospect that the
much discussed highway from Grants
Pass to Crescent City. by way Of the
Elk creek and Smith river route, may
soon become an actnality. Recently
the county court presented the ques-
tion Of federal aid in the repair of
the road over Oregon mountain to the
department. assuming that the road
now in use must be maintained II
there was no hope OF action upon the
proposed>new highway.
Now comes word from Crescent
City that there is belief that the
Smith river route may soon be estab-
lished. and through state and federal
aid the road be readily constructed.
Nothing could please the people of
Josephine county more than to give
all possible assistance in the making
Of this new highway. which would
eliminate most Of the grade on the
coast road. produce scenic highway
that could be travelled the year
through, and that would not be ex-
pensive to maintain after once con-
structed. The county court of Jose
phineshas stated that it will CO.
operate to the fullest extent, and will
lend every assistance to Del Norte
county. Josephine wpl even forego
its claim upon the federal aid in the
construction Of this road. permitting
It al TO 60 upon that portion Of the
road In Del Norte county. and will
construct an equally good-highway to
the state line at the Elk creek and
Smith river divide. 1t can well AFFORD
to do this. inasmuch as 1t will do
away with travel over Oregon noun
tain and fuJther expense need not be
put upon that portion Of the road.
The Del Norte Development asso-
citation has addressed the Commercial
club Of this city, asking cooperation
in their efforts to get state aid upon
the highway in question. California
Is to vote next month upon bond
Issue OF fifteen million dollars for the
building OF state highways. and 1t is
already assumed Sthat the issue will

the state engineers are now ip Del
Norte county preparing to make loca-
tion surveys OF the road up Smith
river, but of course there must be the
assurance that this road will connect
with the highway in Josephine
county. The president OF the Del
Norte association says that from in
formation which have received,
feel quite positive that by combining
our efforts we can succeed In getting
the road located as desired, thus re-
lieving your county OF the expense OF
maintaining the mountain road and

Whatever Is done, 1t Is imperative
that action be prompt. AS soon as
