Denver Assurances given by the secretary of war that there is no in­ tention of removing Federal troops from the strike districts in the Colo­ rado coal fields sion, caused general satisfaction among strikers, mine owners and state officials. Governor Ammons made it know n that he was anxious to have the United States cav­ alry guard the districts until the state can take care of the situation. This has to do with procuring funds through the $1,000.000 bond issue provided by the legislature. Of the $1 000,000. however, more than $600.000 already has tw'en exhausted. Governor Ammons' position is that, even if the Federal tro«>p» are with­ drawn, he will not send the militia back to the coal fields until the pres­ ence there of the militia is imperative. Under the resolution providing for its appointment the commission is em­ powered to conduct an investigation, to assist the governor in restoring and maintaining order ami “to consider ways ami means of restoring and main­ taining peace and good order through­ out the state.” Under the last pro­ vision, it was said, the committee would consider plans for mediation.

Oregon Agricultural College. Cor­ vallis Un supremacy of Oregon as a dairy state, so often assert«-«! by the Agricultural College Dairy depart« nient. is being verified by teats an«! records mad«> in various parts of th«- state. The number of cattle of any on«- bree«l in Oregon is very small in comparison with the number of that breed in th«- Unite«! States, yet the numl»er of cows that have made note­ worthy records in Oregon is a very- large percentage of the entire number in th«- Unite«! State». In the Jersey br««««i thia condition is must noticeable. Of sixteen cows in the Unit«-«! States that have products! over 900 pounda of butter in a year 4 cows, 25 |n-r cent, are in Oregon. Of 30 that have produced more than 800 pounds of butter. 6 cows, 20 per cent. are in Oregon. Of 106 cows that have produced more than 700 pounda of but­ ter within a year, 14, almoat 14 per cent, are in Oregon. There arc but 5 cows in the whole country that have produced above 1000 pounda of butter [wr year, but there is one more that came within 7.1 ounces of reaching that mark, and that one is an Oregon cow. The foregoing figures are from offi­ cial records, which are kept by but few dairymen. There are more than 60 breeders of pure bred Jerseys in Oregon, and but twelve are doing ad­ vanced registry work. Thia is called a poor showing by Professor Graves, head of the College Dairy department, but it has accomplished emtugh to show Oregon’s unexcelled dairy re­ sources.

Lieutenant Edward J.

Acconling to the refugees, when news of the i-apture of Vera Crus by th«« Unit«ai States reached the west coast, it was taken by the Mexicans as the beginning of war. Th«’ Mexicans were inflamed to a high pitch, they say, and the Americans abandoned their homes ami fled. As the Cc triana got away from th«’ dock, man­ euvering adroitly out of what is re- |a»rte«l to be an attempt to hem it in by four Mexican steamer», a rifle fir«« was direct««! against it.
