BATTLESHIP FLEET BACKS UP DEMAND ON HUERTA Atlantic Squadron Rushed to Tampico With Auxiliary Force of 11,000. Vera Cruz, Mex. — The Mexican foreign minister, Senor Portillo y Ro jas, has transmitted to the American charge d’Affaires, Nelson O'Shaugh nessy, a note dealing with the arrest of the assistant paymaster and a de tachment of bluejackets from the Uni ted States gunboat Dolphin at Tam pico, ami the demand of Admiral Mayo that the American flag be saluted. In effect the note says that the Mex ican government cannot see wherein the Federals have inflicted any insult on the American nation; that ordering the army to salute the American flag would be an admission that the United States is exercising undue influences over this country's free action, ami that President Huerta is disposed to uphold the honor and sovereignty of Mexico at any cost. Washington,'; D. C.— President Wil son has ordered practically the entire Atlantic fleet to Mexican waters to force a public salute to the Stars and Stripes from the Huerta government as an apology for the arrest of Amer ican marines at Tampico last Thurs day. No ultimatum has been issued that is, no specified time has been set with in which the Huerta government must comply—but the naval demonstration has been ordered as a concrete evi dence of the fixed determination of the United States to back up Rear Admir- al Mayo’s demand for a salute. L’p to Wednesday General Huerta had not made satisfactory response to the de- mand. "Future developments depend on Huerta himself,” was the way a high administration official close to the President summarized the situation. The decision to send the fleet was reached after the President and Secre tary Bryan had conferred for an hour with John Lind, personal representa tive of President Wilson in Mexico, and after a two-hour cabinet meeting, at which dispatches from Charge O'Shaughnessy revealed that the Huerta government disputed the right of American marines to be ashore at Tampico and contended that its recent public statement of apology was ample. Immediately after the cabinet meet ing Secretary Daniels issued his order to the Atlantic fleet and wireless mes sages flashed up and down the Atlantic coast to put the fleet under steam for Tampico. It will be the largest fight ing force the American government has assembled for possible action since the Spanish-American war. Eleven great battleships, with auxiliaries carrying 11,000 men, will comprise the force off Tampico. Many Cities Successful In Su-at-the-Fly Campaigns University of Oregon, Eugene Re ports of successes achieved in other states in anti-fly campaigns continue to come to Dr. Clifton F. Hodge, pro fessor of social biology at the State university. A recent letter from Eliz abeth Cook, food inspector of Salt Lake City, says: "Nearly 100,000 flies were caught and brought in here last Saturday. Our picture shows are running slides, newspapers are helping, even the big packing houses are giving bounties for flies caught in their vicinity. I pre pared the propaganda for the campaign and presented it to the commercial club in March. The club took hold with great enthusiasm and prepared 30,000 booklets. It has furnished the traps, which the children buy for 15 cents and sell for 25 cents. The stable window trap is made by boys in the manual training departments, and the net fly catchers in the domestic science department's of the schools. We feel very grateful to you and to Dr. Jean Dawson for your encouragement, and for the system with which you have carried out your campaign. Ours is planned along the same lines.” In the SaltiLake Bulletin a fly is said now to be a curiosity in Worces ter. Mass. The children of Worcester trapped 16,217,088 flies from June 20 to July 17, 1911, filling 40 bushels. Campaigns have been held each year since. Cleveland had a campaign in 1911. All the flies were not exterminated that year, but enough were killed to reduce greatly the typhoid fever per centage. A greater effort was made in 1913, and mo6t of the flies were ex terminated. By the end of 1914, Cleveland hopes to be almost flyless. Salt Lake and the 20 cities of Ore gon that are organizing campaigns are only a few of the many in the civ ilized world that have set as their goal freedom from what Hodge calls the worst assailant of public health that exists.

"While I was in the East I found that manufacturers in general are look ing forward to the Pacific Coast mar ket," said Mr. Dover. "A factor to favor the Willamette valley is that any Eastern manufac turer will find his rates for power cheaper when he moves his plant to the Pacific Coast.
