Major General Wood, chief-of-staff of
the United States Army, by telephone
to dispatch a once two more regi
ments of cavalry to the Mexican bor
der. No authorization was given by
the president to have the troops cross
the border. The President regards
the situation as grave.
The president directed the dispatch
of one regiment from Fort Riley, Kan.
and one from Fort D. A. Russel, Wyo.

more troops were to be sent during
the next few days, the situation has
become quite alarming to the Wash
ington authorities.
It can be said on authority, howev
er, that intervention will not be con
sidered by Mr. Taft except as a last
resort. He has told many of his ad
visors that Ee would not send the
army across the Texas border until
every possible move had been made
to afford protection to Americans by
the Madero government.

E. L. Shaw has received several let
ters of congratulation from members
of the Portland and other humane so
cieties for the novel plan evolved by
him "to save the lives of -impounded
dogs which have been condemned to
die. Several dogs were to have been
killed last Tuesday, but in the Morn
ing Enterprise of that day was an an
nouncement by the chief that he
would try to sell the dogs at auction.
As a result a large crowd gathered
at the pound and several fine canines
were sold for fancy prices. It was
sometime, however, before he got a
bid for a mongrel, but when the bid
ding started it was spirited and final
ly the animal was "knocked down" for
almost as much as was received for
all the others that were sold. The
chief Saturday received a letter from
a Portland woman, who did not sign
her name, in which was enclosed the
following, printed. on silk:
"Amongst the noblest in the land,
Though he may count himself the
least,
The man I honor and revere,
Who without favor, without fear,
In the great city dares to stand,
The friend of every friendless
beast."

THAT MEASLEY REP!
WHAT BECOMES OF IT?
After groceries, rent, fuel, etc., there's always an insignificant little
sum left over each month. That's the part we wish to speak about.
Let us tell you of an ideal way to "salt down" that $5.00, or $10.00
per month, which just seems to disappear, and you can't account for it.
Won't you admit that it DOES disappear? .-' 9
Put that money, little as it may seem to you, in Gladstone lots. Give
us $10.00 in cash and you can jump right onto your lot, and pay for it un
der our generous, long-time system of payments, in one,two, three, four or
five years yes, and pay for it with that part of your salary of every
man's salary-that goes absolutely to waste.
Then you've got your rent money to build a home with.
Possession is nine points of the law and when you ,see your lot in
reality and begin the preliminary work for your OWN HOME, you'll
find it the greatest inspiration to SAVE that you ever experienced.
Can you imagine a shorter cut to genuine independence ?
We have a large number of choice lots of all kinds and at prices rang
ing from $200 to $400 and we'll give them to the earnest home-seeker at
any terms of payment he may desire.
We needn't extol our property in Gladstone, other than to say we
have the finest homesites in the finest little suburban town it the North
west. We ask that you see these lots for yourself. Our office, located twentjr
feet from the Gladstone depot is always open and it is a real pleasure for
our agent, Mr. P. A. Cross, to show you this sterling proposition.
Take a half -hour" off , come down and see us, and we'll open your eyes
to some rare values in real estate. The terms are. the easiest on a prop
osition of merit that have ever been made in this part of the state.
Our Oregon City office is Room 12, Beaver Bldg.
