VERA CRUZ FALLS BEFORE AMERICANS ENTIRE CITY IS TAKEN BY MA RINES AND BLUEJACKETS FROM FLEET INVADERS ARE MET BV HOT FIRE Shells From CrulMr Shatter Build Ingi Which Shelter Mexican Notice I Given to Official VERA CRVZ. April 22. Six Ameri cans kilted and about 30 wounded marked the complete Investment of Vera Crux at noon today by the Unit' ed State force. Pour of these were killed yesterday and two today. Rear Admiral Fletcher sent a note to the local officials, calling on them to co-operate with the American offi cers In the restoration of order by calling off sharpshooters and by re suming the. local government, but it could not be delivered. Jululo Franco, the Mexican chosen by American Consul Canada to be the bearer of the warning, was unable to communicate with any of the federal officials and only the mayor, Roberto Diar.. could be found. When Franco tried to communicate with the mayor admission was refused him by Mexican guards stationed at the door. Franco then crawled over the root of adjoining buildings in the court of the Dlax residence, but he did not succeed in seeing the mayor. Senor Diaz refused to leave his bed room, so Consul Canada s messenger shouted the contents of Read Admiral Flcheter's note to the mayor and per sonally appealed to him to yield in or der to save the city from bombardment by the American ships, reminding him of the grave risk of Mexicans and oth ers in the city. Communication between the port of Vera Cruz and the federal capital has been severed. All the telegraph and cable wires are down and E. F. Hunt-1 ley, superintendent of terminals, has ! been unable to ascertain what has be-1 come of the trains that were on their ! way yesterday from Mexico City when the landing of American marines and bluejackets took place. At the termi nal here there are eight locomotives i and several hundred cars. The unwillingness of storekeepers to keep their places open and the al- j most total depletion of supplies at the ' restaurants where the proprietors con- j tinued doing business made It difficult for anyone except the American fieht-! ing forces to obtain anything to eat. The number of foreign refugees on board the Esperanza was increased to day when several persons, mostly Am-i ericans, took advantage of the lull in the firing during the early hours to go on board that vessel. COURT REVISES LIST OF ROADS NO IMPORTANT CHANGES ARE MADE BY THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS EXACT BOUNDARIES ARE DEFINED No Roads Will Be Built in the City Limit of Any Town, But Will Begin at the Boundaries The county court, after carefully checking over the roads named at a recent session, has made several changes in the routes, although the general plan is still the same, and has issued the formal election notice. Several changes were made on the amounts to be spent on the various roads and one or two of the roads were either lengthened or shortened. In the formal notice the exact bound aries of the roads are defined. None of the roads will be constructed in the city limits of any town but will begin at the boundaries of the city. Fer in stance the road between the Mult nomah county line and Oregon City runs through Gladstone and Clacka-1 mas would be improved from the i northern city limits of Oregon City to the southern city limits of Gladstone, from the northern limits of Gladstone to Clackamas and so on along its route. The revised list of roads follows: The Gray Crossing road from the county line to Oregon City by Clacka mas, $70,000: Oregon City to Canny by New Era, 175,000; Canby to the Mar ion county line by Harlow, J32.000: Canby to Needy, $64,000; Oregon City to Molalla, $SO,000; Heaver Creek to Oregon City, $30,000; Redland road to Its intersection with the Grays Cross ing road, $48,000; the road leading in a general direction from Clackamas toward Logan from Its intersection with the Gray Crossing and Oregon City road to its intersection with the Oregon City and Logan road, thence eastward along the Logan road to a point on the line between the William Arthur and Wheeler donation land claim, and thence by the lower road to Barton, $67,000; the Damascus road from its present point of intersection with the road from Clackamas to Bak er's bridge, $18,000; Boring to Sandy, $36,000; Willamette to Stafford, $J4, 000; Oswego to the county line, IS, 000; and Milwaukie to the county line, $10,000.

PERMANENT ROADS FOR CLACKAMAS Clackamas County cannot afford to vote down the proposition to Uiue $600,000 bonds for the construction of permanent highways. That expenditure will mean more for Clackamas County in the next ten years than did the con struction of the first railroad. Clackamas County has not a dollar of bonded debt, and the cities and school districts of the county are not bonded to any large amount compared with some of the smaller and poorer counties of the state. The counties that are bonding have indebtedness greatly in excess of Clackamas County. In spite of this fact see what some of them do: Columbia County, with a population of 10,580 in 1910, assessed valuation in 1913 of $18,000,000 has issued good roads bonds to the amount of $360,000. Clatsop, with 16,106 in 1910, assessed valuation in 1913 of $19,000,000, issues good roads bonds in the sum of $400,000. Clackamas County, with a population in 1910 of 29,921, and an assessed valuation in 1913 of $30,000,000, proposes to issue good roads bonds in the sum of $600,000. This sum in proportion to our wealth and population is far below the average of the other counties mentioned. For general resources old Clacka mas can outdo those two counties in every department And still Clatsop and Columbia, with fewer people and smaller valuations, see fit to vote large bond issues. Why? Because the progressive citizens of those counties realize that in the solution of the good roads problem lay the future of those counties. They voted the bonds. When a man tells you that Clackamas County cannot afford to vote the bonds, call him and call him quick. . Clackamas county is too poor not to get permanent highways as soon as possible. The proposition should be viewed in the broad light. It cannot be denied that in the long run the county will lose two dollar by not building permanent highway for each dollar saved by not building them. Glance at the road history of Clackama county for the last seven years. Past history alone should prove this contention beyond a shadow of doubt , The County Court has chosen wisely in its selection of the roads to be constructed. It now remains for the voter to do his part. Radium Claims Pile We Have In By GIFFORD P1NCHOT, President SEVERAL weeks have elapsed since n joint resolution wns introduced in congress to reserve to the people of the United Stuics tlic null um bearing ores on the public lands. During this period of need less and inexcusable delay NOT LF.SS THAN FIVE 1 1 17 N I 12 K I ADDITIONAL CLAIMS IIAVE BEEN LOCATED BY PKIV ATI PERSONS, so that their content of radium the only medical remedv for cancer may be exploited for private profit instead" of being used for the public good. This was the object of those who caused the delay. It is odicialiy estimated that the loss to the government on the radi um needed for its hospitals and the profit to the grabbers, if the grab bers have succeeded fully in their purpose, will be more than one million five hundred thousand dollars. But this is the smallest part of the loss. AT PRESENT AT LEAST HALF OF OUR RADIUM GOES ABROAD. OUR GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS NEED THIRTY GRAMS OF RADIUM AT ONCE, WHILE TWO GRAMS IS ALL WE HAVE IN THE UNITED STATES TODAY. THERE ARE CONSTANTLY IN THIS COUNTRY OVER TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND PERSONS SUFFERING FROM CANCER. OF WHOM NOT LESS THAN SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DIE EACH YEAR. ONE WOMAN DIES OF CANCER OUT OF EVERY EIGHT THAT DIES AT AGES OVER THIRTY-FIVE AND ONE MAN OUT OF EVERY TWELVE. Location of American Banks Abroad Would Help Our' Trade In Foreign Countries By Secretary of Commerce WILLIAM AVERY weak spot in our foreign trade is our unwillingness to give the credit which the foreign buyer expects and which our com- pernors oiler. 1 rue, there are foreign houses having their own j offices in American cities who may prefer to buy cash against documents J because they can buy more closely in that way and American houses who j have become experienced in foreign trade do extend reasonable credits. .But, as a rule, our American concerns and especially those who are new to the foreign field SEEM TO HAVE A PEAK THAT THE FOK EIGN'ER IS GOING TO PLAY SOME SORT OF TRICK UPON' THEM and insist that their goods shall not go out of the country until they have the money in hand. It is no doubt true that there are places and persons with whom this is necessary. One cannot abandon caution in the foreign field anv more than he can do without it at home. On the other hand, it is also true that in every important foreign city there are busineps houses a debt from whom is as good an asset as .-tie might want. The concerns with which it has been my privilege to be associated in the past years have sold certain carefully selected concern on open account precisely a they did in America and without loss, IN DISCUSSING THIS, HOWEVER. IT MU8T NOT BE FORGOTTEN THAT OUR FOREIGN COMPETITORS HAVE AN ADVANTAGE OVER US SOON, WE HOPE, TO PASS AWAY IN THE PRESENCE OF GREAT BANKS ALL OVER THE WORLD TO AS8IST THEM IN THEIR COLLEC TIONS AND WHOSE SERVICES CANNOT BE GIVEN TO U8 WITH THE SAME ENTHUSIASM AS TO THEIR OWN NATIONALS.

The superintendent of the Tolas sub station at - Temple, after a enrvful tudy of the relation of shape of ear to yield of corn, conclude that slight ly tapering parent ear give (he high est yield. This Is In accord with the results of experiment at the Ohio ex lierlmoiit station. In which extremely tn poring ears gave slightly higher re sults than cylindrical euro. High yield wore ossisliited with comparatively smooth kernels of slightly more than average depth and of medium homi lies The yield Increased with an In crease In the total weight of the ear as determined by slight Increase lu length, amount of grain and rather marked In crease In weight of rob. lu experiment at the Ohio and Ne braska experiment stations It was fouud that the highest yields were ob tained with medium to medium long ear. Poorly tilled butts and tips wore more frequently associated with well filled butt than with well tilled tip". The old score i-ard placed much em phasis on giMsl filling of butt and tip, but for several years past Investiga tors have been getting away from this Men. It lm been found that those character when highly develop ed are usually o doveled st the ex petite of more valuable characters. such yield, constitution, etc. There appeared to tie no relation between yield and shelling iMTocntago and cir cumference and width or thick nous of kernel.
