iiU. S. IHSION OF
MEXICO PROBABLE
WASHINGTON, March 7. Whether
the United States will intervene in
Mexico probably will be determined
before the end of the week. Prepara
tions for American invasion are com
plete and all that is necessary now
to set 30,000 troops in motion and
quell the present insurrection in the
southern republic is authorization by
congress.
President Taft and Secretary of
War Stimson today conferred regard
ing the Mexican situation. It is und
erstood that England, Germany and
France are insisting that immediate
action by the United States be taken
in Mexico, and it is hinted here that
the president will ask cogress at once
for permission to intervene.
Washington officials refuse to dis
cuss the intervention report. "We
have completed arrangments," said
Major General Leonard Wood, chief
of staff of the United States army,
'for any possible use of the troops."
The determination of foreign pow
ers to take independent action in Mex
ico it is belived, has caused President
Taft to believe that the time has c'jme
to act The action of France in or
dering the cruiser Descartes - from
Rio Janerio to Vera Cruz on a move
ment that threatens to end for all
time the existence of the Monroe doc
trine as an active force has greatly
alarmed the president and members
of his cabinet.
The situation is further complicated
by the absence from Washington of
Secretary of State Knox, but Presi
dent Taft is keeping this member of
his official family in complete touch
with the situation by cable.
That President Madero is aware of
the possibility of immediate interven
tion by the United States is indicated
in the personnel of his new cabinet At
the beginning of the Vasquista move
ment Madero positively refused to
hear of any changes in the member
ship of his official family. This was
one of the demands made on Madero
at the outset. ,
Diplomats here point out that the
changes just announced by Madero
show that he is trying to unite the
ambitious leaders of the worring ele
ments, in the hope that the Insurrec
tion will end before the United States
can interfere. With this end in view,
he has included in his cabinet Dr. Go
mez, former Provisional President
Leon de la Barra, General Trevino and
Senors Calderon and Dominguez. All
these men are popular with the mass
es of the Mexican people.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE IS
BIBLE CLASS THEME
The Friendly Bible Class held its
regular monthly business meeting
Wednesday evening at the Presbyter
ian church. The Teports of the com
mittees were heard and important bus
iness was transacted. John Meade,
class president, gave an interesting
talk, which was followed by several
musical selections Jy Hugh and Will
iam Kennedy, who were forced to re
spond to encores. A debate followed,
Miss Maude Woodward presiding. The
question was "Resolved, That Women
have the right of Suffrage." Those
on the affirmative were John Meade
and Gilbert Morris, and on the nega
tive were Paul Burrows and John Er
ickson. The judges, who were Char
les Beatie, William Kennedy and
Amos Stre3Sow, said that both sides
had done well. The decision was for
the negative side.
load their own holdings first .
While it is true that their is only
a small amount of extra fancy fruit
available at this time, little stuff of
this quality goes a long ways at pre
vailing prices. Quite a liberal amount
of fancy apples is showing. Most of
this fruit would grade well with stock
that has been put out by many inter
ests at extra fancy. The best of this
is available at $2.50 for Spitzenbergs.
Other varieties of similar quality are
selling from $2 to $2.25 per box.
Apples that the average consumer
can afford to purchase are not avail
able at all This, therefore, cuts down
the demand to a considerable extent
and a smaller amount of fruit would
fully suppjy he trade on this account
A box of apples that sells at $2 to
$2.25 per box in the wholesale market
could not posibly be sold below $2.50
to the consumer. This price is en
tirely out of the reach of the consumer.

terprise is at the breakfast table or
a little before.
DEMAND FOR APPLES
The apple trade is not showing the
slightest signs of an improved buying
demand for price.
Notwithstanding assertions to the
contrary many carloads of fruit are
still being offered to the local trade.
As practically everyone is filled with
supplies, the buying in large lots is
limited.
The aggregate of apples now offer
ing to the Oregon City trade is far
greater than at this time a year ago,
although the crop was somewhat less
than half at most Pacific northwest
centers. .
Many growers who have from a few
dozen to 100 boxes of apples are en
deavoring to unload. Most of this
stock is offered on consignment but
even the Front street handlers are
adverse to taking hold. They have so
many boxes that were purchased some
time ago that the would prefer to un-
