the state troops are hustling and
hurried. Hasty enlistments swellei.
the companies. Preparations are
being made for the Oregon militia t
moe to Clackamas, the Washington
militia to American Lake, and tlu
Idaho militia to Iio4so. They will
probably not actually mobilize until
the last of the week, though they art
held in readiness, and in the mean
time recruiting continues rapidly.
The coast artillery received orderf
lo hold themselves in readiness to
mobilize, but they are not included
in the President's mobilization
der. The briskness of the recruiting
indicates that the youths are anxious
to go to Mexico. Patriotic feel ins
and high flags were displayed at
the stale recruiting stations which
sprang up everywhere.

ROADS ON IHE LOWER
UMPQUA BEING IMPROVED;
MAY REACH IHE COASI
The possibilities of a wagon road
from Scottshurg to Gardiner, accord
ing the first vehicle trunk to t"
oast in Douglas I'ounty and mak-
ing it possible for persons lo reach
Gardiner from Koseburit by automo-
mile in less than half a day. is a
proposition now being talked in that
vicinity, according to ( otinty Itoad-
tnaster K. A. Sin-lair, who returned
Saturday after viewing the roads in
that section for the pat week.
Mr. Sinclair regards the matter
a sensible proposition, although
it will be impossible for some time
because of the big expense. Keeds
port now has a toad lo Winchester
Hay for the first time, according to
Mr. Sinclair, and the roads through
out that vicinity are beinK rapidly
mproved.
On a trip over the Loon Lake road
the loadiuaster says he encountered
sortie of the worst road he had ever
seen, but this. too. with the funds
low on hand will soon be made to
onipare with any of the other moun
tain roads- In the county. About
j;ntn will be spent and a mile and
a half of planking will be laid and
x considerable portion will be re
graded. About Uumi will also be
tpetit on the Keedsport road.
