The Kate Department's forceful note to the contending factions In Mexico, w amine them airalnst any mistreat ment of Americana. is bettered to hare brought mattera to the critical point. This Is a fair deduction from pa.t experience and tradition of the State Department. It still Is hoped and bettered by Ad ministration officials, howerer. that Saturday's notes will bare a sobering effect on the passions of the factions, end that It will not be nece.aary fur he American Government to conalder dra.-ti- steps regarding; M'tlco. Tula hope led to renewed assurances from official quarters that thera will be no intervention. In regard to Mexico, the next step must be taken by Mexicans, either through the rebel leader, Oroico, or by President Madero, from whom some kind of an answer to the S'ate De partment's representation surely will be forthcoming. "Actions speak louder than words,' waa a State Department comment to day In reference to Orozco. who will be Judged by bis deeds rather than by hi promlsea.

Wash.. April 15. A meth od to put the green trading stamp peo ple out of business has at last been discovered, after years of efforts, in which all previous attempts failed as soon as they reached the courts. De partment S of the State Supreme Court today rendered a decision sustaining the validity of the Tacoma city ordin ance which requires 1100 a year an nual license fee from everv firm, indi vidual or corporation which uses the stamps, coupons or cards good for free exchange for merchandise, and which ordinance provides a penalty for Us violation. The decision is signed by all five Judges of the department, which is a majority of the court, so that probably a rehearing of the decision before the court would not change the result. The scheme was devised by City At torney T. L. Miles, of Tacoma. former members of the State Circuit Court. The ordinance waa attacked by the Hutch inson green stamp people who srnt their chief counsel here from the East to argue the case. SHEEP OWNERS REJOICE WOOL CLIP IS HEAVY AXD QCALITY FIRST-CLASS.

Recent Rains Interfere With Shear ing, but Assure an Abundance of Grass on the Ranges. PENDLETON, Or., April 15. (Spe- -clal.) Though heavy rains the past few days have tied up shearing plants throughout Eastern Oregon, especially In Umatilla, Morrow and Gilliam coun ties, every sheepman is rejoicing for the best range in yesrs Is now assured and the grass will be first class until the sheep go on the Summer range in the Forest Reserves. No loss has been reported In Umatilla County yet as a result of the rains. The Cunningham Sheep & I,and Company, Dougherty Brothers and Smytlie- Broth ers have had their shearing plants in operation for some days, the two first outfits sharing most of their sheep In Umatilla, while the lant named, though doing considerable shearing In this county, have DO. 000 head at Arlington whic h now are being sheared. Tho wool clip this year promises to he by far the best Oregon Sheepmen have ever realized. The staple is good and the wool well grown, and owing to exceNslve rains this Spring Is very clean. Jlany shearers say it is as clean as Montana wool, which Is al ways unusually clean, owing to the fact that there Is little sand in sheep sec tlons of that state. Weather condition have been good the last year and sheep have remained In excellent shape, which la essential for good wool. Wool buyers are already in the field and while little wool is being contract cd or sold, the market remains firm with a leaning toward better prices, That Oregon raises as fine a grade of wool as any sheep producing country in the world, is evidenced by the fact that each year many wool buyers from Europe, representing large foreign manufacturers, as well as Eastern buy ers, personally visit the state and buy a large portion of Oreiron s clip.
