REIGN OF TERROR IN DURANGO
I
Mexican Rebels, Beyond Control,
' Bum. Loot snd Murder.
I Parral, Mexico. May 29. Many
I Federal official, including jefes polit
ioos, have been killed, scores of others
have been put in jail, stores have been
I looted and hundreds of people are on
the venre of starvation as the result
of a reign of terror, waged in the
state of Durango and Southern Chi
huahua by band of insurrectos who
have heard nothing of the peace agree
men. The entire state .of Durango,
with its capital, a city of iX.000 peo
ple, is at the mercy of roving bands.
who have unsettled all the regularly
I constituted authorities.
I The worst feature is that all com
munication has been cut off for week
and the country, being a non-agricul
tural region, is without food. The
mining camps of Ganacivi, state
Durango, are in chaos.
of
The first act of the insurrectos after
charging a town was to place all the
government officials in jail. Stores
were then looted and governent docu
merits burned.
Thomas Urdina, who claims to
be
the insurrecto commander of the
"Southern Zone," was informed that
Madero was perfecting peace plans.
He answered he would dictate the
peace terms for his territory, and the
looting continued.
In the town of Villa Escobedo,
few miles south of here, the munici
pal buildings were burned, all the res
dents having fled to the mountains.
A previous report that all govern
ment and municipal officials in certain
towns had been killed has been con
firmed.
Robert J. Swazie, an American
planter in Michocoan, was killed by a
band of insurrectos; his ranch house
burned and his wife probably carried
off by marauders, as she disappeared
the night of her husband s murder.
James Mclntyre, an American
miner, was held up and robbed by a
band of Mexicans near Ahuuudla,
After they secured about $200 from
Mclntyre, the Mexicans decided to kill
him and promptly filled him with lead
Dr. George D. Rich, an American
physician at Colima, received, word of
Mclntyre a fate.
A battle is reported at Acapulco in
which 83 Federals and an unknown
number of rebels were killed.
Shipping at the Mexican Pacific
ports is at a standstill andTgreat diffi
culty is being experienced in loading
and discharging by vessels calling at
the various porta of stop.
ALFALFA IS HUMAN DIET.
Farmer at Spray Proposes to Can
Root for Table Use.
Portland, Or. Alfalfa now has
reached such a stage of development
that it can be used for human con
sumption at least the roots of it can
C. F. Waters, an enterprising farmer
residing near Spray, Or., has complet
ed experiments that convince him that
the roots of the ordinary commercial
alfalfa plant can be treated so that
they will be readily edible as well as
highly nourishing and palatable.
He had arranged to construct
large building for canning alfalfa
roots and expects to offer his product
to the trade within the present year.
The roots can be taken from the
ground after the crops of several sea-
sons have been harvested, so that the
plant is given an added value. Mr.
Waters declares that by proper treat
ment the clever housewife can con
vert canned alfalfa roots into a var
iety of tempting dishes, which can be
served either as. a vegetable or as
dessert.
Four Killed in Train Wreck.
Charlotte, N. C A double-header
coal train on the Seaboard Airline
went through the Itrestle seven miles
east of Bostick Monday, killing both
engineers and firemen. The trestle
was weakened by fire which the first
engineer did not see and gave way
with the weight of the engines. Fif
teen of the 29 loaded steel cars crashed
into Wallaces creek, piling up on the
two engines and burying the helpless
victims in the wreckage. Traffic will
be completely blocked until the bridge
can be rebuilt.
Peruvian Flag Burned.
Iquiqui, Chile A mob attacked the
Peruvian club and burned the flag of
Peru Sunday. Troops were summoned
to quell the rioting and several per
sons were wounded. The Peruvian
consul has resigned and has asked the
American consul to protect Peruvian
nterests at this place. The action of
the mob and the rioting that followed
were the result of publications in the
newspapers that the Chilean consul had
been attacked at Callao and wounded.
Diaz Spends Quiet Sunday.
Vera Cruz, Mexico General Diaz
spent Sunday, in quiet, denying him
self to visitors with the exception of
members of his immediate party.
Crowds gathered around the house
where the ex-president is staying, ap
parently to watch for any chance oc
curence. There were no demonstra
tions. Sentries paced the verandas.
La Opinion, a local newspaper, has in
vited General Diaz to live here.
Franz Josef is Failing.
Godollo, Hungary Emperor Franz
Josef has been attacked by senile de
cay, and his condition is giving the
gravest anxiety to those about him.
This fact has been established by
careful inquiry made on the spot by
newspaper men.
The aged emperor and his court are
now at the beautiful royal palace at
Godollo, 15 miles from Budapest, the
ancient capital of Hungary.
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
REGION GROWS FAST.
Southern Oregon la Rapidly Develop
Ing Varied Industries.
Grants Pass That Southern Ore
gon, with its varied resources, is mak
ing greater strides than any other
section of the stute, is the belief of
H. L. iierxinger, member of the
city council of Grants Pass. Fruit
raising, alfalfa growing and mining
are some of the chief resources,
which are being developed rapidly.
With a large amount of foreign cap
ital being attracted to- the district,
the City of Grants Pass ia feeling the
effect of the development of the sur
rounding country and a large munici
pal improvement programme is being
contemplated, declared Mr. Herzinger.
Mr. Herzinger has been in Grants
Pass more than four years and in that
time has seen Josephine county grow
from a sparsely settled district into a
prosperous community.
"The Rogue River Valley, in which
Grants Pass ia the center, has become
famous for its pears, grapes and ap
ples," said Mr. Herzinger. "Devel
opment along this line is just in its
infancy. The people of Grants Pass
and vicinity have raised funds for the
construction of a concrete dam across
the Rogue River three miles above
the city. Water will be stored by this
dam to supply water to irrigate 50,000
acres of fertile fruit land on either
side of the river above and below
Grants Puss. This large area will be
utilized for the growing of fruits.
"The people of the community dem
onstrated that they were wide-awake
when they subscribed in two hours
$70,000 for the construction of the
railroad from Grants Pass to the fam
ous marble caves. This group of cave
forms one of the natural wonders of
Oregon. The railroad will tap one o
the finest timber belts in the state and
will supply transportation to the al
falfa districts along the Applegate
and Williams rivers.
In audition to the horticultural re
sources of Josephine county, mining
development is going ahead on a large
scale. The Higgins and Anderson
strikes in the old Kirby districts on
the Illinois river are causing much ex
citement. These properties seem to
be alive with precious metal. I be
lieve if they were remote from trans
portation and difficult of access, we
would have a stampede to the camp,
But, it seems, they are too near home
to cause a rush. Mining experts be
lieve that some of the newly disco v
ered claims bear tin ore in paying
quantities.
LEAGUE TO DEVELOP LAKE.
Local Clubs to Be Organized; Land
Still Open to Entry.
Lakeview The Lake county devel
opment league is the name of the new
organization that succeeds the Lake-
view board of trade and which will
bend its energies toward development
of the entire county and peopling the
large areas of government lands open
to homestead and other entry. The
new organization is composed of rep
resentative citizens of Lakeview and
it will be their endeavor to interest
citizens of the other portions of the
county. It is believed that with the
coming of the Nevada-California-Oregon
railway, which will be at Lake
view this year, and the contemplated
completion of lines into the north end
of the county, Lake will receive
great impetus.
Goose Lake valley has 100,000 acres
of fertile land awaiting the plow, some
ofjvhich can be homesteaded. War
ner Valley has 200,000 acres of till
able lands and some homesteads.
ihewaucan valley has 75,000 acres
and some homestead lands. Summer
Lake valley has 50,000 acres of land
that may be irrigated from artesian
wells struck at depths of from 122 to
260 feet, and nearly all of which can
be homesteaded. Christmas Lake val
ley has 350,000 acres, some of which
can be homesteaded. Horse Mountain
valley has 75,000 acres, nearly all
open to entry. Edith valley has 75,-
000 acres, half of it under the 320
acre homestead act Silver Lake val
ley has 50,000 acres, 30,000 acres of
which is open to entry. Many other
smaller valleys present homes for the
homeless.
The members of the new organiza
tion will visit every precinct in the
county and organize local development
clubs to co-operate with the parent
organization and work to the develop
ment of their sections. This under
taking is not a small matter in a
county of this size.
Washroom Made Office.
Salem So cramped for room is the
capitol that Secretary of State Olcott
assigned the new purchasing
agent, C. D. Frazer, of Portland,
quarters in the wash and cloak room
n the rear of the senate chamber.
Mr. Frazer is flanked on one side by
the state architect's office, and on
the other by the office of the State
agricultural board, and to get out he
as to pass through one of these
offices.
Water Turned Into Canal.
West Stayton Water was put Into
the first mile of the Willamette Valley
Irrigated Land company's canal Mon
day. Everything was satisfactory
and while work has been stopped tem
porarily on account of the inclemency
of the weather, only a few more
weeks' work will complete the canal
to West Stayton.
HUGHES FOR COMMISSIONER.
W.
L. Finley. Expert In His Line, Be-
comes State Game Warden.
Salem J. Frank Hughes of Gold
Hill was appointed by Governor West
as a member of the State bound of fish
and game commissionera to succeed
W. L. Finley, who resigned as a mem
ber of the board to become state game
warden, succeeding R. O. Stevenson, of
Forest Grove. J. N. Wisner, of Ore
gon City, has been appointed superin
tendent of state fish hatcheries.
Finley, who has become widely
known as a student of birds and one
of the foremost members of the Audu
bon society, was serving as the four
vear term member of the new board,
The other four members requested
that he resign to take the position as
state game warden, which carries a
salary of $2,600 annually. There
were 12 applications for the position
but these were all carefully considered
by the members and all of them were
found to be not adapted to the osi
tion.
' Members stated that they consid
ered Mr. Finley would be of more val
ue in the position of state game ward
en where he could devote all of his
time to the work, and Mr. Finley ac
cepted after a conference with Gover
nor West.
The board also reached the conclu
sion to establish a new office of super
intendent of state hatcheries at a sal
ary of $2,000 annually. This superin
tendent will work under tne game
warden and the fish warden as well.
He will have charge of trout ami sal
mon hatcheries, the trout hatcheries
being maintaned largely from the
game fund and the salmon hatcheries
from the hatchery fund of the state.
Notification was sent out by the
board to all of the mills of the state
and others who own dams, fish lad
ders, irrigation works or other obstruc
tions to streams that an investigation
will be made in the near future of all
such devices or ditches and the board
will determine to what extent the law
in this respect is being observed.
BUILD ELECTRIC LINE.
Eugene to Have Direct Connections
to Tidewater.
Eugene Stockholders of the Lane
County Asset company have taken ac
tion directing immediate steps to be
gin construction of an electric rail
way from Eugene to tidewater at
Florence. The directors of the com
pany will frame instructions to H. D.
rornieri, chief engineer, looking to
the construction this summer of the
first link of the road from Eugene to
Llmira, approximately 14 miles.
lne L,ane County Asset company is
a local corporation that has been en
gaged for the past two years in the
promotion of a railway to the coast at
Florence. A permanent survey has
been completed and right of way has
been acquired over practically the en
lire route, utncials or the company
say that sufficient capital Ih available
to warrant the beginning of actual
construction work on the 14 miles of
level valley to Elmira.
The company has been promised
large quantities of ties by sawmills
along the proposed route, and some of
the rails for the first 14 miles are al
ready in sight. The tentative plan is
to construct an electric line, deriving
power from the surplus current for
sale by Eugene's power plant at Wal
terville. Three of the five members
of the city water board, which has
complete control of the electric plant,
are members of the Asset company.
Mock holders of the com nan v also
ordered condemnation proceedings to
obtain two small sections of right of
way tor which private negotiations
have not been successful.
These places are between Eugene
and Elmira. Beyond Elmira, right of
way has been obtained as far as Glen
ad a, on the south side of the Siuslaw
harbor, at which point the company
controls 800 feet of waterfront.
Better Prices on for Salmon,
Astoria While sales of this year's
Columbia River canned salmon were
reported a few days ago at $1.95 for
flats and $1.85 for tails, sales have
been made since that time at even a
higher rate. One packer is known to
have contracted several carloads at $2
dozen for flats and $1.95 for tails.
the latter figure being 20 cents a doz
en above the rate which prevailed last
season. These prices are for
the
early fish and may not hold later.
Railroad Surveyors Espied.
UaKer News has just leaked out
here that for some time a surveying
corps oi tne u.-w. K. & N. company
has been at work on the survey of an
extension of the line from Rrogan into
the Ixwer Powder valley. To extend
the Willow Creek line from Brogan it
will be necessary to tunnel the divide
separating the lower Powder valley
from the Willow Creek vallev.

BANKER MORRIS IN PEN.
Chief Wrecker ot Oregon Trust &
Savings Bank Begin Time.
Salem. Or.. May 27.-After fighting
for months against the inevitable. W.
Cooper Morris heard the doors of the
state penitentiary swing behind nun
and has started serving Ins sentence
of six years for aiding in the wreck
ing of the Oregon Trust & Savings
bank of Portland.
A two-hour argument by Attorney
S T. Richardson fulled to change the
decision of Governor we turn
leniency would be extended to the ex
banker. , . ..
Shortly after 5 o'clock last night
the governor announced his decision
and Private Secretary Watson ' Im
mediately telephoned to Deputy Sher
iff Archie Leonard, who was awaiting
the decision of the executive at the
Hotel Marion. Morris was also at
the hotel with a number of friends.
District Attorney John II. McNary,
George M. McDowell. Alex Sweek and
Archie Leonard accompanied Morris
to the penitentiary in an automobile
secured by the district attorney and at
5:30 o'clock Morris entered the prison.
SuHrintendent James refused to state
what number he would give to the ex
banker and stated that such would not
be given out under any circumstances.
"Mr. Morris will be placed in line
with the rest of the prisoners and he
will be treated the same as the oth
ers," stated the superintendent. "It
is probable he will have no work to do
for some time. There are ats.ut 100
men at the institution who are not
employed now and the new prisoners
are not given work. For that reason
he undoubtedly will not le placed at
labor, and not because we intend to
discriminate in his case."
DIAZ SECRETLY LEAVES
MEXICOJOR .MADRID
Mexico City., May 27. Portirio
Diuz, to whom for more thnn 30 years
all Mexico has paid deference, secret
ly left the palace at 2 o'clock this
morning. Only a few friends whom
he trusted followed him to the station.
He went to Vera Cruz and went on
board a steamer bound for Spain.
In the distance he could hear the
voices of enthusiastic celebrants, who
wore acclaiming the new president,
Francisco de La Barra, and shouting
"Viva Madero."
So carefully were the arrangements
made for his departure that detaiU
could not be confirmed until this after
noon. Secrecy was due less to appre
hension of a popular outburst here
than to a desire that his departure
should not become known to maraud
ing bands. For some hour it ws
generally supposed Jthat he had left
over the Mexican National railroad,
which has of late been untroubled by
bandits. This road is equipped with
standard heavy rails and it was
thought there was less danger.
There is another railroad to the
coast, a narrow-gauge affair, owned
by the government. Taking it for
granted that he would take the
more luxurious, the bandits did not
molest the smaller line.
