Four battleships are reported to have left for Tampico at II n. in., but the fog was so dense ihey could not be seen .from the shore.

"The next move is Huerta's," said admin istration officials today, when asked for developments in the Mexican situation. Should he order the Tam yilco federals to salute the American flag it will be up to the President to decide quickly what to do with the fleet. It Is thought he might order It to Guantanatno. Officialdom is strongly of the opinion that Huerta will not yield. Party UneB were not drawn at the conference between the President and the House and Senate foreign relations committeemen. Af ter their conference Chairman Shive loy, of tho Senate committee, said: "The President assured us that this will be no rosewater demonstration there will be an ample apology forthcoming or bloodshed." Wilson Is IMermined. (llv John Edwin Nevln). WASHINGTON, April 15 General Huerta must not only apologize for various past offenses, but must prom ise to be good in tho future, if he is not to experience consequences which mav mean armed American interven tion In Mexico.

American naval offi cers aud men have been arrested at Vera Cruz and Tampico. The official dispatches of Charge d'Affaires O' Shaughuessy have been held up, and were only delivered when O'Shaugh nessy demanded them directly of Huerta. It was learned from a high official source that the situation is about this: For some time the Mexico City defucto's government has Indi cated that It considered mere apolo gies sufficient in cases where Ameri can rights and dignity were involved. Apparently there was no thought of reparation for serious offenses com mitted against Americans by the Mexican civil aud military officials. May Occupy Two Porta. WASHINGTON, April la.

The State Department received mes sages from O'Shnughnessy In the course of the day, hut it was stated that in none of them was there any intimation of yielding on Huerta's part to the demand to salute the American flag.

Gold is being mined on Coos Bay on in.i ...i,i..h hua npvor heretofore been regarded as having any mineral value and the find which has neen macie is attracting a good deal of attention, .. it iu helieveil a new industry for this locality may be developed. The gold Is being taken from the black sand which is found in a deep strata under several feet of top soil. It Is similar to the black sand of tho ocean beaches and it Is thought that the locality was formerly an old beach which during centuries past has been covered with earth and vegetation. The black sand is solidi fied and appears to have been affected by a great heat at some time. o Rain again today prevented a base ball game In Portland between the Portland and Oakland teams of the Pacific Coast League.

K. Armsby Co. TO BUILD BIG PACKING HOUSE Will A!so Build Big Cannery if Cost ef Site is Pledged Commercial Club Also Hears Other Matters A tentative proposition for tho erection of a fruit aud vegetable can nery In Reselling, by the J. K. Arms by Co., was the most importnnt topic discussed at tho regular meeting of the Roseburg Commercial Club on Tuesday evening. This matter wns presented by A. E. Mclntyre, tho lo cal representative of that great fruit marketing organization who are pre paring to build a large packing house iiere this year as was mentioned in The Review a few days ago. Seeing the great and growing need for a can nery here also, they offer to build and equip one, to be ready for handling the 1915 crops, on condition that the Commercial Club, or the citizens of Roseburg and vicinity, reimburse them for the cost of the site not over $5000 alter tho cannery is built. Such a cannery would he of sufficient capacity for handling all the products of the surrounding country, including fruits, vegetables, berries, etc. As the J. K. Armsby Co. is one of the three largest fruit handling concerns of the country, no hesitation' need be felt as to consid ering a proposition coming from that source. Nor would there be any question as lo marketing their pro ducts, as their markets and brands are already establihsed, they having maintained a high standard for many years. As remarked by a member of the club during the meeting, this seems to be a proposition that Rose burg cannot afford to overlook. . From the beginning, such an Insti tution would furnish a payroll amounting to from $10,000 to $20, 000 per year, and would save pro ducts worth two or three times that sum which are now annually going to waste; saying nothing, of tiie addi tional vegetables, berries, etc., that would bo produced were It known that a market would be available therefor. As one speaker remarked, "It is the towns that supply markets that become large business centers." As such nn institution would mean several thousand dollars a month to Roseburg and vicinity, the proposi tion seems to meet with general' favor. As the proposition made was only in verbal form nt this time, a resolu tion was adopted staling It to be the sense of the meeting that the com pany he reimbursed to the value of the site for a cannery and packing house, to an amount not exceeding $.",u(i0, payable after the cannery is erected. The matter was then re ferred jointly to the committee on Industries (John C. White chairman) and the promotion committee (W. If. Richardson chairman) lo confer with representatives or the .1. K. Armsby Co. with a view lo getting tho pro posal Into a more concreto form. Then .It is thought that very little difficulty will he had in securing pledges for the sum needed for tho site. It is said the company already have options on some local sites, and action as to whether there is any real local Interest In securing n cannery here mav go far as to determining which will be finally taken. As Red Cross Shoes, Munsing Underwear, R. & G. Corsets YORK STORE ARE GROVER'S, 75c Iron Clad $1.00 Overalls, Eiffel Hosiery, Grovers Shoes for Tender Feet stated before, a new packing house to be built this year has already been determined upon, and if a cannery Is to be erected tor the coming year, It will be necessary to provide grounds tor both. This company has already arranged to erect a large cannery at Van couver, Wash., the citizens there providing considerable more than the necessary site. Other Club Husluc. In the ubseuco or President J. W. Oliver (who came in later) Vice President J. E. McCliutock presided. The secretury reported about 1110 members on the roll at tho present time. A communication from the Kllison YVhito Chautauqua Association was referred to Judge G. W. Riddle, who is leading In- preparing a Pioneer Day program for one day of the com ing Chuutuuquu season hero. The offer of the International Har vester Co. to show their fine collec tion of farm demonstration views In Roseburg on July 10 or 11, without cost to the club except tor use or a I theater and t he local advertising, was' accepted. These includo a fine lot of moving pictures showing modern farm operations throughout the country and are said to lie well worth seeing. They will probably be shown at the Antler's Theater. As to county and Btato fair ex hibits, the county budget only pro viding $1000 therefor for the current year, on motion a committeo was named, consisting of S. S. .losephson, J. 10. .McCliutock and S. A. Phillips, to meet with a committee from the. county fair association and the Couii ty Court at 10 a. m. next Friday and determine as to how this fund for lairs for the present year will be ap portioned and used. It is already growing late for planting for special exhibits at the coming fairs, and it must also be borne in mind that the exhibits for the 1915 exposition nt San Francisco must bo grown this year. The growers must therefore "get busy" nt once. A communication was read from Geo. M. Ilyland. of Portland, In rela tion to a combined exhibit from the Southern Oregon counties. Fight Willametto Valley counties have al ready united for making such all ex hibit of their products at San Fran cisco in 1915, and a group of Eastern Oregon counties, and another of Col umbia River counties aro preparing to do likewise. Mr. Ilyland may come here soon to further this move men L. MORE ABOUT FIRE PRO TECTION AND THE SWAT THE FLY CAMPAIGN HERE April IS has been proc'almed by tho Governor as "Fire Protection Day," the purpose being to have ap propriate exercises or programs in the public schools, tending to edu cate the children to prevent fire loss by becoming familiar with Its dan gers, etc. The Oregon Forest Fire Association, which Is behind this movement, Is sending lo eacli of th school teachers a picture In colors of hunters In the ail of breaking camp in the timber. One of the party is pouring on water while others are engaged In packing tho camping out fit. Tho teachers are expected to make this t tie basis of some good les sons. A letter from .1. A.

S. Dennett, or The Dalles, Democratic candidate ror Governor, spent the day today-in Roseburg. lie was meeting the valors here, includ ing a number of old-time friends. As lias heretofore been slated 111 The Review, Judge Hennett Is undoubted ly the ablest man In the field today for Governor of this state, among the 15 candidates of all parties. His standing In his home county is shown hy the almost unanimous vote he received there two years ago for delegate to tho Democratic National convention, and it is estimated that at this year's primaries he will re ceive 90 per cent of the Democratic vote of Wasco County for Governor, with four oilier candidates in the field. In the five adjoining coun ties, formerly parts of Wasco County, It is estimated that ho will receive 75 per cent of the votes. It is widely claimed that he will carry all of Eastern Oregon by from 3000 to 5, ooii plurality in the primaries. That he will also get strong support in Western Oregon is shown by tluv fol lowing from the Albany Democrat: "If Judgo A. S. Hennett carries Linn County by a plurality of seven hundred votOB it will not be a matter of surprise to those who are closo lo the political situation. If he should tail to receive a plurality of five hundred votes many of thoBe who claim to know something about I. Inn County politics will go down In his tory as exceptionally poor prophets." With the numerous candidates In the field, nnd their many promises of reforms and retrenchment, every can didate is his own best platform. Judge Hennett has been an ablo worker on behalf of the common people for a life-time, nnd if nomi nated nnd elected will make a strong and efficient Governor. Iwm'uI CnudidntcA.
