The Mexican authorities arc not anxious to attack Ihe rebels in the Alamo stronghold knowing that thcinsurgents can be ens.il v disloducd bv starvation after Ihe lapse of time. The only fault with the "starvation system" is that it starves the American women and uhililruu n woll, JUvJhu rebels and prolongs the suferings to which the American citizens are being subject ed. Consul Schumacher has wired to San iDcgo that he hu taken action, but does not say what he has done. In the meantime, a baud of moun tain Indian"-, with personal scores to sottlo against the rebels, has ad vanced upon the rebel camp. Whether an Indian victory will be of any par ticular advnutiiL'o to the American women and children is doubtful. An entire fleet of United States eruisois and toipedo boat1-, with a regiment of marines is available at San iDcgo for immediate duty in Mexico in cu-e the American women and children are still alive after all teh diplomatic con dependence is soiled.

Si Six Months of Undiluted Joy for Baseball Fans is Prospect Bids Fair to Be a Banner Year in Bin, League Circles. NEW YORK IS FAVORITE AMONG SPORTING DOPESTERS Connie Mack Will Go Into the Season With the Same Old Lineup That He Had Last Year. MOW YORK, April 11!. Six months of undiluted jy for the base ball fan. In other words, the 11)11 baseball season, opened today In both of the big leagues. Today begins what bids fair to be the most proprltlous year the nation al game lias over known. Haseball has grown so tremendously big and Is now conducted on (such a compre hensive and businesslike basis that it is pretty safe to prqdlct that every season will bo a little better on the whole than Uhe preceding year. Knowledge of this fact prompts Pres ident Lynch of the National and Pros Ident .Johnson of the American to pre dict that 1911 will sot a new record In attendance. A remarkable feature of the season now opening Is that the Chicago Cubs who won the National league penant with ease last year, ore not tho fa vorites for tho honor this year. Tho short end in the betting Is tho Now York Giants, who finished second In 1910. I A symposium of. views of .'10 well known sporting editors In big league towns found 24 pinning their faith to Now York and gnlyJhroo In Chica go. Of tho IhrceT'who picked Chica go, two wero Chicago scribes. Throe also touted Pittsburg for tho flag. In tho American league 29 of these writ ers selected tho Philadelphia Athlet ics to repeat, while one lono dope stor looked to Detroit tor tho win ner. It Is easy enough to seo why the Athletics should bo such a unani mous choice, for the team showed last bcason that It Is still coming, but It 1h difficult to seo why tho Cubs should run such a bad second to New York. It Is probably becauso tho GlanU made such a strong finish and the Cubs went down to such Inglorlouc defeat before tho Aathlotlcs lu the world's title games. Tho falluro of the Cubs to repeat, howovor, may be predicated on only ono basis a fall-down on tho part of several of the old stars. The Chica go team that takos tho field today Is practically tho sumo team that has won four of the last five National league flags. .Manager Chance's com bination has proved unbeatable In the National league, so that the only way It Is likely to lose this year will be for tho hitherto air tight machine to "blow" or for other teams to exhibit unexpected strength. Those who poHtdmlHtlc regarding Chlcngo put the proposition this way: There Is more likelihood of Chance's eterun team becoming creaky than that tho Giants, the Pirates or the Cincinnati Hods will not strike a swift and deadly guit and maintain It to tho end. It Is differences of opinion tiiat make horso races, and the same holds true In baseball. National league followers gonerally would not i egret to see some othor team than the Cubs cop tho bunting for otherwise tin prospect of tho National league re gaining tho world's tltlo Is about as bright as tho Alberta orange crop Tho team that Connlo .Mack turned out last year would, In tho opinion of ulno oxports out of ten, trim tho CiiIih nearly as often as they could get to gothor. And this Is tho team that Connlo Mack. If foituuo goes well will hurl against the National league wlnnors again. Whou Mack was asked for tho linn- up for his opening game this year. ...

"WE MUST KEEP IN LEAD OR WE ARE BUT QUITTERS" Can't Afford to Lay Down Now De velopment of Yellow Streak Will Mean Disaster Real Estate Men Meet. Tho old Commercial club rooms nt tho Nntntorlum building last evening, on tho occasion of tho meeting of tho Medford Realty association, woro fill ed to overflowing. It was n great success from Btart to finish. Tho meeting was a public one for tho pur poso of having 12d Andrews mnko his report on conditions In Portland, as ho found thorn after a ten dnys' in vestigation into tho colonist situation. Ills remarks brought out ono vital feature that has not horetoforo been considered seriously by many Med ford peoplo, although cautioned to do so by the Commorclal club, and that Is tho fact that a largo number ot this year's homesookors huvo pur chased tickets to Portland only, and not to tho torrltory lying to tho south. This Is due to tho opening of central Oregon by railway, and tho extensive advertising which has been made by Mid II una tn tnf nctwl nf ttnr Imwla In over tho country show that not less than ten million acres are available for homcHtoudlng, and this competi tion must always bo expected to bo mot by communities whore govern ment lands have already been taken up. Hcsldcs tho Idea of virgin coun tries always appeals to peoplo who would rather pioneer than make their homes lu settled districts. Mr. Andrews failed to find, ho said, any contorted action on tho part of Portland's commercial bodies seeking to divert peoplo Horn the Hoguo Riv er valloy to their own Immodlato sec tion, but there Is a tromendously ac tive offort being made by roal estuto oporators to got thoso nowconiors to go Into the districts whoro thoy hnvo lauds for sale, and practically every section lu Oregon, east of Portland and north of Hosoburg, Including southwest Washington and tho whole Columbia river basin, Is represented by splendidly organized forces. Tho rank and fllo of Portland peoplo per haps don't know enough of tho Hoguo Illvor valley. They havo seen tho ad vertising signs of Hood Hlver and the Willamette valley staring thoni lu tho face so long that they can't stop to think of othor places. lOvou Lewiston, Idaho, farther from Port land than Medford, Is one of the terri tories doing tho most effective work lu the metropolis. Thou all Willam ette valley communities are ortran- 1ed to work for tho country north of KtiKeue, and Medford and tho Hoguo Rher valley gets the whole force of thin competitive broadside becauso the are so well known, and coinmor- lal pcalousy Instinctively tolls them that they must Medford' offectlvo ad vertising methods of the past, but at the mime timo work tooth and nail uguliist Medford, In order to got their share of the people, and thoy are do ing It. Mr. Andrews made a strong appeal for the people ot tho Rogue River valley to work In harmony aud co operation. Forget your cities and towns, he says, and quit boosting them, but plug for tho Hoguo River first, last and always. Qet pooplo through the Cow Crook canyon Into the Rogue River valloy and tho cltlos will take care of thoni themselves.
