INVASION OF MEXICO
IS EKPECIED Oil

Carranzistas Have Trouble in
Checking Demonstrations
LIVES OF AMERICANSTHREATENED,
Ihf American Governmeot Desires to OJIaiii
Canada's Consent Before Invading
the Mexican Territory
KU PASO. March 1 ?,. Threatened
by organized resistance from an
aroused Mexico, the expedition to
crush Villa Is still held in lcasl.. The
troops are en route on special trains
from all army branches to either
participate in the invasion or replace
troops on the border who are sent
across the line. The Invasion is now
expected Tuesday, though tleneral
Funs'on's policy of thorough pre
paredness may cans - f urt her delay.
Carranza's threatened opposition and
Villa's flight toward the settlements
of American Mormon: . who are at
his mercy, has torn the bord- r be
tween anger and feir. The C.irnin
zistas have already expert '-nerd
trouble in suppressing auti-Arneri -:,n
demonstrations. Six Americans ar
rived from Chihuahua today, and
they reported that two Carranzista
officers had threatened tin ir lives.
Twelve thousand Americans are
mohollxing. The invading expedi
tion may avoid cities to prevent
trouble with non-combatants. It is
expected, however, that the Ameri
cans will seize the Mexli an North
western Hallway at Juarez. Ninety
lnlle:; below the border the ttoops
will leave the trains at Cuzniun and
ntlempt to envelop Villa.
WASHINGTON. March 1 Sec
retary Lansing announced tliis atter
nnoii that the State Hepartnient had
reached an pgreement with Carran.a
regarding American troops entering
Mexico and the military reciprocity
proposition.
Durum a debate in the Senate to
dav. Senator Chaniln rhiin declared:
"If we think we can whrt Mi;o in
a few we'ks, we will be woefully sur
prised. I believe Villa will become
a National hero. Sixty thousand
men may rally about him.'
American llelil Hack.
WASH I N(JT N, March 1 :! .---Two
considerations are ftill halting the
invasion of Mexico for Hie p-irsuit
of Villa. First, the Government de
sires General Carranza's consent,
and, second. Ceneral Funston is
holding hack until he is ready to
smash the banbst. Army withers
predicted that the Americans would
enter Mexico Wednesday at the lat
est. Misinformation niven by the Mexi
an Kmlmssy caused it to announce
that President Wilson had accepted
the terms of military reciprocity.
The statement was withdrawn when
the White House denied it. The
Kmba::sy declared Carranza's mani
festo, liublished this morning, w as
grossly niisipioted. A copy
manifesto which the Kinb.i
reived is tssentially the sam
letter sent to Secretary
of the
as tli
l.ani'ins
previously.
The administration heliees it will
bo able to conduct the exp-dition
against Villa without nie.-iing Car
ranza's o'uios't ion. F ar is ex
pressed that should the Pres !
accent Carranza's not, Ceneral V

TEAM WILL RECEIVE
I SWEATERS AS EMBLEMS
FOR THIS YEAR'S WORK
For the first time iu the history
of athletics in the Itoscburg High
S hool, a team representing the in
stitution is to be honored by receiv
ing from t he school emblems com
nemoraiing their work. This was
the decision Just made on account of
the suees of this years basketball
t- am. which won the championship
of Southern Oregon ami disputed
Saie
MM- M.IH l lUllLIIHlMIOIIll' T-Illl !--
High School, who have re-
liiM-d to me. t the locals en their own
floor to decide the issue The mem
bers of the team will receive ora De
colored sweater coats bearing a
black It on the left side. F.aeh year
a stripe will be added on the sleeve
of the plaer provided he continues
on the team.
As a result of this action, which
is decidedly new on the part of the
school, it Is probable that athletics
will he placed on a more substantial
basis than they have ever been pre
viously. This will meet with the
approval of all the students and
those interested In their activities.
The Kosehurg llir.h School has re
ceived a great deal of advertising
this year from the. efforts of thi
basketball boja, and hereafter no
trouble Is expected in securing
games. Not only were they success
ful in their pla ing, but they will
have over a $ 1 " balance left for
next year, after the purchase of this
i;ir's emblems, to att' st their suc
cess financially. With the erection
t.f .the new high school building the
vX m dents are looking forward to a
giv
advancement ami an increase
made in the spirit of the or

Hy a vote of $2 to 127, the prop
city owners of the Koseburn school
district last Saturday authorized the
i.-suaiice of bonds In theutn of $7."i,
niMt, with which to erect a modern
bii;h school building to replace the
old l.ane school structure which was.
destroyed by lire several weeks ano.
As will h neiiced by observation
of i he a"ove figures, there w ere a
total of yoit votes cast during the
afternoon. While there wan no open
opposition apparent, it became known
early in the afternoon that a few
persons opposed to the new H'-bool
biiibling and its att' ndant atlvantaites
were work inn uultely in hojM- of de
feating; the project. This was a sig
nal for activity on the part of thosu
person who believe in education.
Within the next two hours enough
v ot. s fav orablo to the issuance of
the bonds had been assembled to
a sure success. The chief opposition
to lssiii:n; the bonds appeared lo cen
ter about the amoiitit of money that
bad been specified for the new struc
ture. Many of (hose who vot-d
against the bonds realized fnllv the
need of a new school buildini;. hut
thought $:.n,iino would erect a
structure adeqnale to the needs of
tlii:- cily for scctal cars to come.
Olhers were misled into believ iiig
thai the people of Ibis city bad gone
"bund craw." and thet the suci-ess
ol the election would be etnl illt'llt to
cont'lscalion of their property, other
eiiunlly as nnrasontible nrRU meats
were advanced bv the opposition dur
ing the day. When the result of the
election became hnown at. 7 o'clock
Salnrdav there was an air of general
. ;iii:;la( tion prevalent throughout the
city Mspeciallv was this true among

RAILROAD DECISION IS
NOT LXPECTED BEFORE
SOMETIME NEXT WEEK
"W hile I am as anxious an anyone I
in KoebtiIK to recehe a decision till
the case ot John Hunter vs. the city
of Kose burg, I do not believe the
SUireiiif i'ourt will act in the case !
tomorrow." was the blatement made I
htue t.ulay by an attorney who has I
taken an active interest in the mat
ter. "I am givjng out this information
in outer 1 hut the people of this vi
cinity will not be disappointed in
the event a decision is not received
here tomorrow . J ustice Kakin, a
member of the Supreme Court, has
been ill for several months, and as a
result the work of that bodv Is lag-
ging behind. This much I learned
derlnilely from Salem people who)
are close in touch with the operation!
,,f ti,,. sunti'inr c.,,1, t. it is my i.e-
an opinion in the case a week from
tomorrow. Just w hat that der ision
will he 1 have been unable to de
termine. 1 realize as well as any
one that the people of Itosehurg are
becoming anxious, and in some In
stances they are discouraged. I do
not believe the reports (bat the
members of the Supreme Court ar
dead locked In the rase at issue, but
I attribute their ibhiy in banding
down the decision to the unusually
large amount or work that has been
placed in their hands during the
past tew months."
