CRISIS TO COME IN
FIRST SKlRM|SH
BY H. G. Boehme.

Douglas, Ariz., Mar. lS-The
American expedition into Mexico win
face the crisis OF its campaign in
the first possible skirmish, observers
here believed today.
II the predicted general peon up
rising against the American forces
comes, 1t will because OF distorted
news circulated among ignorant
poems that the Americans have killed
Mexicans on their native soil.
Those in close touch with Mexi-
can affairs declared the supreme test
of Judging Carranzista cooperation
and OF the peon attitude would come
when the United States troops fire
their first volley. The marching COL
umns are moving faster than has
been reported. according to the pre-
vailing impression here. Settlers
from Ell Tigre heard that the divi-
soins had united between Guzman
and Ascension. II was persistently
reported that villa had divided his
command, leaving strong force to
battle the American vanguard and
draw it of his trail while he continu-
ed his flight in another direction,
escorted by few picked men.
While reports OF Carranzista
friendliness have been wildly circu-
lated. friction between de facto gov
ernment representatives and Ameri-
can customs officials is noticeable
here.
Mexican troops from Aqua Prieta.
Just across the border. have almost
all been withdrawn, having marched
miles south to patrol the Nacozari
railroad. A small garrison still
holds Aqua Prieta.
Constitutionalist officials today

tion and mutiny at Cabullona.

The Oregon-Utah Sugar company
is making an aggressive campaign in
the Sutherlin district Of Douglas
county. and from the interest mani
tested 1t seems sure that Sutherlin
will get the factory to be built next
season. The sugar company has an
nounced fits intention Of building a
second factory in southern Oregon in
1917, first indicating its desire to
build It in the Medford nelghborhood,
but the attitude ofthe Medfordites does
not seem to point TO a desire for the
industry. The farmers Of the Suther-
lin district are becoming enthused,
and are now signing up an extensive
acreage for this seasons planting,
the beets for the first season to be
shipped to the Grants Pass factory.

OREGON WEATHER
DEVELOPMENT IN MINING.

1t is evident from the activities
along all the various branches OF the

will establish her place as the leading
mining district of the west. Develop

extensive scale in the copper mines.

its wealth of quicksilver that has

placer mining methods, will be made
to produce their fortunes.
All Of this development should in
dicate to congress that here is the
place where the first one Of those
mining experiment stations should
be located.
The mining for gold with huge
dredgers win soon be under way in
southern Oregon. A company Of San
Francisco capitalists has taken an
option upon the Harris placer prop
erty near Takilma. and viii at once
undertake an extensive survey and
prospect of the ground preliminary
to the installation of a modern
dredger. w. NJ. Wither, a mining
engineer held in high repute by min
ing men Of the coast, has arrived
from San Francisco. and has pur-
chased for his company No. trac-
tor drilling outfit with which to pros
pect the ground. This drilling out
fit was started for Takilma Saturday.
The Harris property consists Of
ESQ acres Of ground that has long
been considered an ideal dredging
proposition. It Is located at the
mouth OF Allen gulch, tributary OF
the East fork of the Illinois river
This gnlch was noted producer Of
placer gold in the earlier days Of min
ing in the district, but the ground
below was available only for the
dredger. Some Is years ago a com

oLlc SPEAKER BELONG
ED THERE.

Galveston, Tex, Oct. 25.-The state
rested this afternoon in the case of
John Copeland, bank cashier of Mar
shall, Texas, on trial in connection with
the killing of William Black, an anti
Catholic lecturer, year and nine
months ago, at Marshall.
Only five witnesses had been exam
ined, Sadie Black, the adopted daugh-
ter of the lecturer, it was announced
tonight, will arrive tomorrow night.
The states attorney said She would be
n witness for them in rebuttal,
The state objected when the defense
sought to introduce deposition taken
at Louisa, Lawrence county, Kentucky,
detailing Blacks entrance into and de-
.parture from the Masonic order. 1t
claimed the deposition was intended to
injnre Blacks character with tht jury.
The objection was sustained by Judge
Briggs "at this time"
The defense had contended that the
deposition was admissible as showing
that Black was unreliable and that
statements made by him could not be
believed
This, 1t contended, would justify the
action of Copeland in going to him to
protest against his lectures.
Judge Briggs adjourned until morn
ing when, he said, he would announce
his decision.

IMMENSE CROWDS GREET THE
EMINENT STATESMAN IN
EASTERN KENTUCKY.

Senator ollie NJ. James spoke at Ash
land Wednesday night TO an immense
crowd gathered under big tent. Ev
cry foot of space was occupied and
1000 people are said to have been stand
ing on the outside.
On Thursday morning he passed thru
Louisa on his way to Pikeville, where
he spoke just after noon The largest
crowd ever gathered in Pikeville was
expected to be present to hear him.
Senator James is recognized as one
of the very greatest orators in the
United States. So highly is he regard
ed that he has been selected by the Ma
-tional Committee to close the campaign
at Madison Square Garden in New
York city on the night of November A..
No greater compliment than this could
be paid to him. Yet, with such national
demands as these upon him he comes
to the Big Sandy country in answer
to the call of the mountain people-the
"feudists,' as we are called by some of
the hair Drained parrots flying over the
country.
