With tho coming of spring weath
er the city streets take on the ap
pearance of a spring cleaning as the
unsightly wooden awnings and
porches are removed. The change Is
almost incredible as tho streets seem
.to almost instantly widen and take
a cloanor and brighter appearance.
In nearly every block on Cass, Jack-
Aon and Sheridan streets could be
heard the ring of the hammer as a
force of carpenters worked to carry
out tho povisions of tho city ordin
ance.
It Is just one more step in the
changing of a country village to the
modorn city and in this respect Rose
burg has advanced In spite of oppo
sition until H ranks among the fore
most of tho cities within the state.
No matter what the next step for
the heautificatlon of tho city, it will
undoubtedly meet with the same
hearty approval from the cltzicns as
has tho ordinance requiring the re
moval of the awnings and porches.

fanner boy, hoarder of unknown
wealth, outlawed bauUit, soldier
horo, burbarous biganiiat, juht, free
handed leader, cruel and Vindicative
dictator; cool and clever political
adventurer, raving and bloodthirsty
murderer, shrewd statesman, Ignor
ant malefactor. Such a man Is Fran
cisco Villa, "The Tiger," as seen by
his friends and by his enemies.
Rivalling Robin Moou In the vaii
ed career of his life, but lucking
the polish of that famed old English
figure Francisco Villa was a charac
ter about whom there has been more
written, perhaps, than about any
other Mexican of his generation;
man whose name will go down In
history as that of one of Che most
picturesque and widely known,
-though Wttle known, men of in-trlgue-rldden
Mexico.
Villa's personal history and life
have been as much a mooted ques
tion as has been the right and wrong
of his cause. His birth Is shroud
ed in doubt place, time, ancestry.
Mexico's "man of blood" has been
claimed as brother of a negro, as a
"squaw man," as a half-breed ol
Mexican-Negro blood, as a half
breed of Mexican-Indian blood, and
as a full-fledged Mexican of pure
Spanish extraction.
The Reverond Alfred Young, a Ne
gro mlnl'ster of Baltimore,- claimed
that he was his brothe". His" hair was
short and "kinky" like that of the
African; his cheek bones h'lgh and
prominent like those of the1 Indian;
his complexion that of the Mexican;
his temperament that' of the Castll
lan. '
Perhaps tho most direct line upon
Villa's birth comes from the Mexi
can state of Durnngo, south of Chi
huahua. It was In these mountain
foothills that Francisco Villa was
born In 1876, the son of a peon
farmer, according to best reports.
While, ho was a child his parents
moved to the stato of Chihuahua,
the scene of tho grentest actlvlllos
of Villa's life a slate that trembl
ed with fonr at his name, yet whoso
people benefitted by his generosity.
While Villa was In his early teens
his parents died and loft in his
charge an elder sister, a beautiful.

Inhabitants had often heard of the
bloody fights between Villa and the
rurales, of the plundering raids of
"The Tiger" on unsuspecting towns,
and they feared him.
One night the . magistrates" and

plans were announced for a royal
merry making.
An hour before the dance started
a powerful, black mustached man,
clad In the full uniform of an officer
strode Into the small general store

provisions. A' pretty senoritn, the
belle of the .town, was the saleslady.
"I'm glad you have btirht

were afraid 'The Tiger' would come
and rob us."
The officer laughed, then invited
