FEDERAL THREAT CHECKS
Secretary Garrison Informs Gover
nor Hunt Border ..Will Be Pro
tected and State Troops
Are ot Required.
"WASHINGTON'. Oct. 14. A telegram
from Governor Hunt, of -Arizona, to
night announcing that'jio movement of
the state militia, -to the Mexican border
had been authorized and expressing the
Governor's 'desire to co-operate ' in
avoiding further; complications of the
situation on the border was received
with much relief by President Wilson
and Secretary Garrison. The message,
which concluded a. day of telegraphic
interchanges on the subject, was ad
dressed to Secretary Garrison, and
.aid: '
"I appreciate your courteous tele
gram and thank you for advices con
veyed. Both the President and your
self may feel wholly assured that I
realize the gravity of the Mexican sit
uation as an international problem, and
my sole desire is to co-operate in avoid
ing further complications and at the
same time accord all possible protec
tion for Arizona's citizens and prop
erty. State Militia Not Called.
"No movement of' the state militia
has been authorized. I shall communi
cate with you as the occasion requires
and feel sure that sut-h advices as you
may extend at intervals will greatly
assist me in allaying excitement over
existing danger."
Secretary Garrison at once replied as
follows:
"Your message received. Am very
gratified with the expression of your
attitude. Will keep you fully in
formed." In the course of the day the Secre
tary, at the direction of President Wil
son, had telegraphed Governor Hunt,
pointing out the danger of divided re
sponsibility should the state troops go
to the border. It was indicated un
officially later that if the Arizona Gov
ernor finally did send troops to the
international line they might be called
into the service of the Federal Gov
ernment to bring all forces under one
commander.
Deliberate Shooting; Charged.
Two telegrams passed between Gov
ernor Hunt and Secretary Garrison, one
with reference to the situation at Naco,
Ariz., and the other with respect to
Douglas, Ariz., in both of which border
fighting had made American citizens
apprehensive. Concerning the situa
tion at. Douglas, Governor Hunt tele
graphed that "one soldier and a. child
have been struck by shots from Mexi
can garrison of Agua Prieta; firing
across the boundary is described as
being deliberate on the part of the
Mexican garrison."
Secretary Garrison telegraphed in re
ply that reports from General Bliss and
the commanding officer at Douglas.
Ariz., said no one had been wounded
and that only stray bullets were fall
ing on the American side of the line,
livery precaution was being taken to
guard American interests, he said.- and
additional troops could not be utilized.
The Secretary warned the Governor
of the "grave consequence" that might
follow the sending of militia .to the
border and called attention to the
manifest propriety of not embarrassing
the President as to the international
Situation.
Gravity la Emphasized.
"The President again today requested
me," he said, "to emphasize in my dis
patches to you the gravity of the situation,-the
fact that he is doing every
thing that properly can be done and his
earnest desire that you should abstain
from complicating and embarrassing
the situation."
The Secretary said he had no doubt
"highly colored and exaggerated re
ports" of conditions along the border
reached the Governor, adding that true
accounts could be obtained by com
municating with the Army officers
commanding at Naco and Douglas.
Frank S. Thomas, one of General
Villa's representatives, filed a protest
with the State Department today, de
daring that the Carranza forces at
Naco had deliberately "backed up to the
American line for the double purpose of
escaping to the United States if oc
casion demands and also to invite at
tack so that a few bullets would un
avoidably fall on American soil." He
charged that Carranza's forces under
General Hill were part of an "attempt
to provoke intervention on the part of
the United States."

CITY SAVES ON CONTRACT
Baker Builds Own Pipeline for
$21,913 Iiess Than Bids.
BAKER, Or.. Oct. 14. (Special.)
Bakers new pipe line to the Elkhorn
Mountains is just completed, at a cost
of 121,913 less than the estimates and
bond issue of J54.700. The work, which
was completed in three months, cost
32,i SB. 99, and was done entirelv by
the city, with Baker citizens doing the
work.
Contractors had bid the full amount
of the bond issue, and the City Com
missioners, believing the work could
be done cheaper, decided to do it themselves.
estimates made of the amount of water
available and the amount of power
available to the city as well as esti
mates of cost of installing a plant
which would furnish municipal lighting
for homes and business houses in Ba
ker. The petition came at a time when
the city campaign is well under way
and is of striking significance. - ''
The report on Baker's municipal street
lighting plant for the first four
months' operation shows a material
saving to the city on the cost of its
lights. The operating expenses were
1196.58 while the cost to the city
under the private ownership was $7200
a year. The, entire cost of the plant
was $25,000 and the saving of $3800
and mcre a year will retire the bonds
long before their maturity.
There are installed in the city now
205 large nitrogen street lamps, each
250-kilowatt These prove not only
inexpensive but efficient. Under the
private ownership system there were
114 old style arc lamps furnishing less
light at more than double the cost.

NORWAY IS IN DOUBT
Neutrality Is Maintained With
Fear of Trouble.
BOTH SIDES ARE ACCUSERS
Crisis Is Expected to Be Brought
About Over Shipment of Contra
. band and Food ThTousb. Na
tion Into Germany.
CHRISTIANIA, Norway, Sept. 19
(Correspondence of the Associated
Press.) The word "neutrality" has ac
quired a flexible and. variable quality
undreamed of by the founders of dic
tionaries.: There is the -violated and
therefore unavailing neutrality of Bel
gium; the grim, almost belligerent neu.
trality of Holland,- and the frightened
neutrality of Norway.
The result of the sharp attacks on
the Norwegian press, both by the Ger
mans and the English, has been to
frighten Norway out of any Individual
opinions of her own. Recently she has
been charged with 1 having sold her
press to England. She had hardly time
to defend herself against this accusa
tion before there appeared in the cor
respondence of the London papers a
severe arraignment of the Norwegian
press for having accepted bribes from
Germany. In an earnest-desire to give
no color to either of thes charges,
Norway has - sedulously cultivated a
neutrality that is beyond reproach. Of
all neutralities it.is, outwardly at least,
the most perfect and unquestionable.
. Conversations Are Guarded.
Norway Is in a pof ltion where "any
thing she says will be used against
her." Men before expressing an opin
ion of any sort reassure themselves of
the identity of the questioner and then
look guardedly in both directions to
see that they are not being overheard.
Press reports have become content
with statements of purely uncontrover
slal matter, and the official commu
niques of the English, French and Ger
mans. The statements of government offi
cials are guarded and noncommittal.
For this reason, it is unusually inter
esting to find beneath this unimpeach
able exterior undercurrents of genuine
feeling. The most pronounced of these
is favorable to the allies. It is evident
that none of the Scandinavian countries
has recovered from the sense of injury
at Denmark's treatment by Germany at
the time of the Franco-Prussian war.
Among the military classes there Is
a leaning in the other direction which
has developed out of a fear of danger
from Russia, and a natural Scandina
vian hatred of that nation. If it were
possible to ootain the net result of
these two influences, it might be said
that the present Norwegian sentiment
is friendly toward England, but modi
fied by resentment at her combining
with Russia.
Norwegian-German Crisis Near.
A crisis of supreme importance to
Norway and Germany now seems im
pending. This is the question of the
use of Norway as a route for the intro
duction of food and contraband articles
into Germany. Since the declarations
of war. the Norwegian exports to Ger
many have noticeably increased, and a
visit to the steamship lines plying be
tween Christiania and Stettin shows the
importance to Germany of this chan
nel. Government officials in Chris
tiania say that no ammunition had been
carried to Germany by this route and
that the Norwegian government would
not allow it, but at present Norway is
under no injunction from England not
to supply Germany with any material
she may desire.
Norway is now apprehensive of an
English challenge of her right to ex
port and transmit products to Ger
many. ,
A partial mobilization has taken
place in Norway, but most of the forti
fications which have acted as centers
are so distant from Christiania that the
capital itself betrays no sign of a Eu
ropean war.
Financial Condition Impaired.
The most serious damage which Nor
way has suffered from the war is that
which concerns her financial condition
Just as she was in the midst of devel
oping her railways, her water power
and her agriculture, the war suddenly
cut off the capital she was borrowing
from France. This left her with her
development arrested, and with a pub
lic debt of 600.000,000 kroner, or about
1150.000,000. The half-completed rail
ways in Norway show how her devel
opment was retarded before it could
pay returns on the borrowed capital
invested. The effect of this financial
burden has been felt by every business
ani Industry of Norway.
Immediately upon the declarations of
war, a moratorium was declared. This
continues, and, though all business is
going on as usual, with the exception
of the Bourse, it is being cramped by
a scarcity of money.
RELIEF PUN IS OFFERED
AMERICAN WOULD HAVES BELGIANS
RETURN TO HOMES.
rorkerspth
Possibility of Complications Arising
Tfcronch Too Many Committees
Is Pointed Out.
LONDON, Oct 14. Herbert G.
Hoover, chairman of the relief com
mittee, interviewed today concerning
the generous American efforts to al
leviate distress among the Belgians,
expressed the opinion that unless the
application of funds thus raised be
under the direction of persons familiar
with existing conditions in Belgium,
there' will be inevitably an overlapping
and a great waste of energy and
money.
"All the American relief w
should combine into one committee,
he said, "which would embrace all the
American committees already es
tablished in Belgium and in London."
Mr. Hoover was emphatically of the
opinion that the creation of concentra
tion camps for Belgian refugees and
the billeting of them on the general
community in England and Holland as
now is being done, instead of satis
factorily settling the problem, would
"lead only to demoralization and after
ward create a worse situation than
now exists."
"While Holland and England," he
oontinued, "have risen magnificently
to the occasion and now are looking
after all the immediate wants of the
refugees, there is no ultimate solution
of the problem except by repatriation
to their own villages and homes. Our
evidence shows that the homes de
stroyed by the war amount in reality
to only a small percentage of the
whole. This repatriation undoubtedly
would require considerable funds,- be
cause a large number of persons have
to be provided for through the Winter
and the agricultural communities must
be enabled to sow the seed for next
year's crop.
"The work of repatriation could be
undertaken only by an American or
ganization which would receive, not
only the co-operation of the allied
governments, but also of the German
government. With, the German oc
cupation of Antwerp there is provided
a port of entry for the return of
Belgian refugees and for the entrance
of provisions for them.
"Such repatriation would be not only
the best thing that could be done for

FIRM MAY START ANEW
Baker-May Lumber Company Credi
tors to Hear Head's Plea.
CHEHALIS, Wash., Oct. 14. (Spe
cial.) F. R. May, head of the Baker
May Lumber Company, whose business
at Mays was thrown into the hands
of a receiver last week, has arranged
for a meeting of the creditors to be
held Saturday at which he hopes to ar
range to havo the receivership ended
and again personally resv.me charge of
his affairs.
Mr. May believes he has secured suf
ficient financial backing to enable him
to handle the business successfully and
new lumber trade, that is assured him
from the start, is expected to carry
e concern along. J. T. Stoddard, re
cently from Portland, and formerly a
successful mill man at Doty and at
Westport, Or., was last week named

BAKER ASSURED TAX CUT
Levy Probably to Be 5 Mills Owing
to $10,000 Surplus.
BAKER, Or., Oct. 14. (Special.)
Lower taxes for Baker for next year
was forecasted by Mayor Palmer at the
City Commissioners' meeting today
when in a preliminary estimate on next
year's levy Mr. Palmer said the levy
probably would be 6 mills, if the as
sessment valuations are the same.
Whatever the rate. Mr. Palmer an
nounced, there would be needed about
$10,000 less than there was this year,
owing to the fact that the surplus this
year would be about $10,000.
