Even lumber would bring good price if the railroads
were able to carry to market This shortage should
teach the people of Oregon the lesson that people must
rule the railroads, or the railroads will rule them With
the state house filled with friends of the corporation and
the legislature controlled by the paid lobbyists of rail
roads there are quite naturally no laws in Oregon COM

GOLDEN BELT ROAD POPULAR
Much Cross Country Travel Through
Here

Every day fifteen or twenty au.
tomobiles carrying cross country
tourists pass through here travelling
east and west over the Golden
Belt. All the local garages report
much tourist patronage. The roads
have been bad and muddy but the
motorists continue to plow through
the mud. The following taken from
the Junction City Union tells of
much cross country travel:
"One morning before 0 o'clock a
dozen cars carrying travellers went
through this city. Some of them
were going east and some west, and
one car was from California. The
tourists stated that they found the
Golden Belt one of the best roads
they had been on and that with the
of few places the road
was almost perfect. One man stated
that the Red Line was getting a
great deal Of travel, so he had heard
out west, but that the Santa Fe
route was not as popular this year
rs 1t had BEEN"

DIVORCE DOESN'T RELIEVE
OF CHILDREN'S SUPPORT

In answer to an inquiry from w.
A. Blake, deputy county attorney OF
Sedgwick county, the attorney gen

ion that in cases where parents are
divorced, and the custody of chill
dren given to the wife, the husband
can still be held criminally liable
under the Kansas desertion law for
failure to support the children.

San Diego, CAL, June 20.-Tht
governor of the state of Sinaloa has
declared war on the United States
according to radiogram from Com.
mander Arthur Kavanaugh of the
gunboat Annapolis now at Mazatlan
Galveston, Tex, June 20.-The
Mexican government in Yucatan has
issued a proclamation ordering all
Americans out of Mexica and de-
claring a state of war existing be-
tween the two countries, according
to passengers arriving here on the
Norwegian steamer Nils from Pro-
greso. Great excitement is said to
prevail.
Washington, June 20.-Upon
General Carranza's reception of
stern refusal to heed his demands
for recall of American troops from
Mexico hinges the question of
Mexican war, in the opinion of Pres
ident Wilson's close advisers.
No indication has come that the
first chiefs attitude of implacate
hostility would be shaken by the
reiterated declaration of the latest
communication that the United
States has no aggressive or warlike
purpose toward Mexico, but is firm
ly resolved to protect her borders
and end brigandage in the border
states.
Official reports from many quar-
ters shows that a flame of popular |
feeling against the United States is
being kindled throughout Mexico.
Apparently it is being done with the
sanction of General Carranza for
the acts in many cases are those of
his authorized military or civil
agents.

would not avoid it at the cost of

Washington, June 19.-Presiden
Wilson has called out the militia o
every state for service on the Mex
lean border.
Virtually the entire mobile fore
of the national guard of all state
and the District of Columbia wa
ordered mustered into the fedora
service Sunday night
About one hundred thousand mer
are expected to respond to the call
They will be modified Immediately
for such service on the Mexican
border as later may be assigned tc
them.
Gen. Frederick Funston, COM
manding the border forces, will des-
ignate the time and place for move
ments of guardsmen to the interna-
tional line as the occasion shall re-
quire.
In announcing the orders, secre-
tary Baker said the state forces
would be employed only to guard
the border and that no additional
troop movements into Mexico were
contemplated, except in pursuit of
raiders.
simultaneously with the national
guard call, Secretary Daniels of the
navy department ordered addition
al war vessels to Mexican waters on
both coasts to safeguard American
lives.
At the war, navy and state de-
partments it was stated that no new
advices as to the situation in Mex
leo had come to precipitate the new
orders.
Within the last two weeks, how
ever, tension has been increasing
steadily.
Washington, June 19.-In nearly
every state the national guard is
prepared to answer the call of the
government for service on the Mex
lean border. Reports to the war
department last night indicated that
in some states, where the militia
has reached high state of eff
cheney, the work of mobilizing al
ready is under way. In most of the
others the assembling of the troops
began today.
Mobilization of the national
guardsmen to support General Fun
stons line will pave the way for
releasing about 10000 regulars for
service.
