Carranza Uprising in Coahuila
Has Collapsed.
Minister of Agriculture Telegraphs
Huerta Asking Pardon for
Hebei Governor.
Mexico City Surrounded by govern
ment troops, Venuatiano Carranza, the
rebel governor of Coahuila, who re-
fuaed to recognize the Huerta ad
ministration and initiated what ap-
l>eared to be a formidable revolt, ia
auing for peace, according to official
reporta. Carranza ia declared to have
2000 men.
Manuel Garza Aidape, named aa
minister of agriculture, who waa sent
north by the government to effect«
reconciliation, has telegraphed to
President Huerta asking for a pardon
for the rebellious governor. Alberto
Guajardo, commander of the ruralea,
who joined the Carranza movement,
ia reported officially to have aurren-
dered.
Pascual Orozco, Jr., returned to the
capital and waa greeted by the men
who have been lighting him for a
year.
Orozco haa signed no agreement of
peace, but it ia expected he will do ao.
Suspicious regarding negotiationr with
others than the p-incipala, he had en
tered into only partial terms with the
commiaaioncra aent north by the gov-
«wnmont
The final conferences regarding a
peace settlement between Orozco and
the government will be held thia week,
probably at the national palace.
Orozco and hia advisers will try to ex
act the best possible terms, but it ia
believed that the revolution, so far as
they arc concerned, is ended.
Moat of Orozco's army will join the
government forces, and it is regarded
as not improbable that Orozco himself
will be governor of Chihuahua.
FRIEDMANN SEEKS IMMUNITY
German Physician Thinks New Se
rum Preventative.
Ottawa, Ont.— Dr. Friederich F.
Friedmann, of Berlin, discussed before
the Canadian Association for the Pre
vention of Tuberculosis hia treatment
for tuberculosis, the manner of its dis
covery and the precautions he took to
insure its harnilessnesa. He said he
had s|>ent 23 years in research work to
find a tuberculin that waa not toxic
and virulent, and having found it,
tried It first of all on himself.
He discarded human tubercle bacilli,
he said, after many experiments, be
cause he feared the results were too
dangerous. The end of hia research
came, he asserted, when he found a
bacillus which originated in a cold
blooded animal, the turtle, which
bacillus became a-virulent and a-toxic
after frequent transplantation.
"When that condition waa reached,”
he said, "I injected it into myself,
then into patients infected with tu
berculosis, then into healthy children
in tubercular surroundings.
I have
found the remedy Invariably harm
less.”
”1 have found this remedy harmless
when I used it for patients ranging
from earliest childhood to the moat
advanced age in all forms of applica
tion — subcutaneously, intramuscular
and intravenous—even in big doses,”
said Dr. Friedmann, "and equally effi
cient in all forms of tuberculosis, pul
monary, bone, joint, glandular and
skin. Aside from absolutely hopelesa
cases, whose fates were already
sealed, the remedy has proved its effi
ciency in most instances.
“To obtain the ideal, to eradicate
tuberculosis as an epidemic disease, it
is necessary not only to cure the tuber
cular individuals now living, but also
to protect by a method following the
principle of Jenner's vaccination in
guarding the future generations from
infection.
"So far I have vaccinated 350 child
ren varying In age from 1 year to 3
years.
Most of these children were
living in tubercular environments and
much exposed to infection from the
source. The earliest immunisations
were made 17 months ago and all the
children are well today and free from
al) symptoms of scrofula or tubercu
losis.”
El Paso, Tex. — Desperate fighting
in an attack on Parral, Chihuahua,
entailing a heavy loss of life in a 50-
hour battle, was reported in belated
dispatches reaching here late Wednes
day. Some 1500 constitutionalistas,
rebelling against Huerta’s national
government in Chihuahua, were driven
back by almost an equal number of
federal regulars, and the city, center
of American mining and industrial in
terests, was demolished by bombard
ment and street fighting, in which
even the townspeople engaged.
The ex-insurrecto troops, who re
belled against the Huerta government
and left Parral last week after mobil
izing and recruiting at Santa Barbara,
nearby, returned on March 5 to retake
the city. One thousand federal* from
Chihuahua City had reinforced the 200
regulars at Parral.

Colonel Mercado, the garrison com

SEASIDE LOGGERS BUSY.
Linn and Benton Counties Open Timber Industry Along Coast Takes on
Active Phase.
$70,000 Willamette Span.
SEASIDE—The logging Industry in

logging camp.
Already the Olson

feet of timber to cut. This does not
embrace all the standing timber in
that locality, but it is expected that
once the Jogging camp is installed,
others owning standing timber in that
neighborhood will come forward and
sell their holdings.
The tract of timber along the ridge
is mostly hemlock and spruce.
Olson brothers' contract calls for
the delivery of the logs at Warrenton.
They will be rafted down Scippinon
and delivered to Leander Lebeck.
An effort is being made to start the
Seaside sawmills. If this mill is opened
the logs will be sent to the mill at
Seaside. If not, they will be sold to
either Astoria or Portland mills. The

Syndicate to Construct 100 Modern
/
Houses on Coos Bay.
Marshfield—Part of the plans of the
syndicate, which is represented by W.
J. Wilsey, with its recent purchase of
the Kinney holdings here, was made
public Thursday when it was an
nounced that it would immediately be
gin work on the construction of 100
houses on their land. These will be
built in bungalow style, strictly mod
em and from four to seven rooms
each, and will be sold on the install
ment plan to people who are coming
here seeking homes.
The plan as
given out connects the Simpson Lum
ber company with the project, and
they will act jointly with Wilsey.
The plan provides for the immediate
construction work to begin and as
soon as they are completed work will
begin on another block of about the
same number.
It is expected that the early con
struction of an electric line between
the two towns will mak^ the tract and
houses available for both residents of
Marshfield and North Bend, and there
is a demand for homes now that can
not be supplied in both places. The
agent of Mr. Wilsey on the Bay, J.
M. Eddy, is now engaged in drawing
the plans for the houses, which will
be of several styles, and they will
range in price, including lots, from
$800 upward.
It is expected that as soon as com
pleted there will be a customer ready
to take each residence; in fact, it is
stated that several people have already
put in their bids for a home and that
they will be served first.
This is the first move in the Wilsey
developments here and it is said he
will be here within a few days to take
up other matters in connection with
developing the estate that his syndi
cate has purchased.

a dairyman of Portland, and Dr.
Watts, also of the same city, have com

be used exclusively by both men. Many
other farmers in the west end of the
county are taking up dairying on an
extensive scale, declaring that it is one
of the finest sections in the state to
carry on such an industry. For some
