Report Appreciated.

Editor Of Capital Journal II is nice
to have an entertainment written up as
was the last one at WacOnda by the
Quinaby reporter ] wish to congratu,
late Quinaby for having such able re
pOrters and to invite the Beuna Crest
people to come again, as reflects the
electric lights. so does an able reporter
cause the hidden lights to radiate the
flowers that bloom unseen to unfold
for the pleasure of many. In other
words, it brings 4 locality into prom
inence, introducing its agricultural sue
cesses, as did Hood River, or its intel
ectual ability, as does Boston. Now
who would guess that Waconda, that
unpretentious little burg, in its exten.
sive distances, had hundreds of acres
Of fruit, logauberres and hops, that
would rival Hood River! If you want
to see our country people in town, come
to WacOnda to the free entertainment
given on the evening of March 18th,
rain or shine they will all be there. On
the stage and in the audience, we pre-
sent Oregon best. Our young ladies
are perfectly charming. For flowery
language who can beat the orltorical
ability of NJ. j. Egan, Carlton Savage
of Salem high school fame, and our 9TH
er flowery speakers. As a whistler we
challenge any to whistle in contest with
Dess Martin. The plays are staged by
George II. Finney, who formerly
taught the Gervais dramatic society
Mrs. Collins is the able teacher Of the
Concomly orchestra and on the Hop
mere line lives Albert Egan. We claim
him as the sweet singer of Waconda. L.
II. McMahan, the bright LAWYER farmer,
lives mere. Charlie Hall, that genial
farmer; Aaron NusOm, an able elocu-
tionist Mrs. Eileen Massey, a very
competent scnool teacher; Mrs. Parks,
former teacher and missionary;
Mrs. Ralph Shepherd, our best gardner
and sociable neighbor, and others too
numerous to mention, and this was the
home Of W. AL Jones, he who, if talk
comes out true, may be the next gov
ernor of Oregon.
| tell you we are some people, who
knows but in our midst may be living
a future president of the United States.
Salem people should come out on the
Oregon electric and see the Waconda
entertainment.

WAR WITH MEXICO IS PROBABLE

It is possible that the Americans and CaTanzstaS
chase Villa to a finish without having clash between
themselves but it is highly improbable. Two bodies can
not occupy the place at the same time, and it is
almost certainty that in this case there will be croWding
that will result in general war with Mexico.
An idea of the ignorance of the Of Mexico can
be gathered from the statement in Durango newspaper
to the effect that Villa had captured New Mexico and
Texas and that President Wilson was fleeing" If the
Mexcans knew anything Of geography they would know
that matter how large his force Villa could not capture
territory almost as large Mexico night and that
the president $500 miles away would not be IN flight for
few days at least
No newspaper would make such a statement if it did
not know that the great Of its readers were in utter
ignorance of everything pertaining to the United States
1t is this very ignorance that makes the situation
hard to deal with The natives led to believe the
Americans are invading their country for the purpose of
subugang it, and they told the United States is
weak and match for Mexico They are thus stirred
to anger and driven to attack the American soldiers
Ofcourse the newspapers know better and their state
ments made for the purpose OF deceiyng the masses
Why?
Carranza repeats the statement often made on this
side of the border that American money is financing the
Wind movements and it is fair to presume it is also
financing the newspapers making such statements.
At the beginning of the revolution that is the Car
rama revolt it a common rlmor that the whole at
fair was staged by the Standard Oil Company and the
Pearce Oil Company of England who fighting each
other for the Mexican oil fields 1t may be there was
nothing in these mOrs but since that time they have
bObbed up every little while and still do so.
