18 THE MORNING OREGOyiAX, FRTDAT. OCTOBER 22, 1915. MEXICO WANTS TIES Carranza Government Makes Inquiry in Portland. RAILWAY MATERIAL SOUGHT Local Lumbermen May Figure in Deal for Several Million Feet. Collector of Customs Gets Or ders Restricting Munitions. Substantial evidence that official recognition of the Carranza govern ment in Mexico by the United States, which carries with it the privilege of shipping explosives to the Carranza forces, is being" turned to good account in a commercial way, was illustrated here yesterday through the receipt by Portland lumbermen of specifications from the Carranza government cover ing several million feet of lumber wanted in the form of ties and stringers for railroad construction. The destruction of certain railroad property south of the border is thought to have hampered the future movement of troops and supplies unless recon struction material can be obtained without loss of time, and the nearest source of supply Is the Northwest, witn the Columbia River picked as the most advantageous market. There are ties Available on the river and shipments ran be started with little delay if sat isfactory prices are quoted the present powers-that-be in Mexico. Vessels Are Available. The closing of the Panama Canal has made it possible to use handy-sized steamers held on this side for the busi ness, and in any event the steam ton nage regularly found on the Coastf could be utilized in moving the stuff as desired. It is believed that the in quiry will be followed by others as progress Is made in the rehabilitation of certain districts and that a good market may be offered in Mexico for lumber in advance of the complete pacification of the country. The Southern Pacific Interests are to advance certain repairs to their prop erty where possible, and one cargo is already assured, the steamer Klamath being scheduled to load 1,060.000 feet of ties here next month for Guaymas delivery. Later the Southern Pacific undoubtedly will be in the market for ties, stringers and. bridge material, in connection with the announced inten tion of constructing a lirect line to the City of Mexico. Another important move bearing on the Mexican situation was made yes terday by President Wilson, the follow ing telegram being received at the Custom-house from the Treasury De partment: Munitions Shipments Restricted. "Collector Customs, Portland, Or. By direction of the President you are instructed: "1. No shipments of munitions of war shall be permitted from any United States ports to the states of Chihuahua or Sonora and territory of Lower Cali fornia. "2. Shipments of munitions of war or explosives, etc., for commercial or in dustrial uses into other states or terri torles of Mexico may be permitted when consigned directly to representa tives of de facto government of Mex ico. When not so consigned exporta tions will not be permitted until re ported to the Department and authoiity obtained. A. J. PETERS, "Acting Secretary." The fact Coahuila and Tamaulipas are not mentioned with the other re stricted states and Lower California is believed due to the fact it was not thought shipments placed under the ban would move there from the Pa cific Coast, being more certain to be started for Sonora or Lower California. The action of the United States Gov ernment Is taken to mean that infor mation has reached Washington that an effort will probably be made to ship explosives to places close to the 'bor der. Purchase of such material being looked for and the receipt of inquiries here for lumber impress commercial interests that the Carranza forces have obtained adequate funds to carry on the campaign as now mapped out. LUMBKK FREIGHTS GOING TJT? Advance Begun 10 Days Ago Reaches Former Figures to California. Coast lumber freights exhibited in creased firmness yesterday, when $3.50 was bid to San Francisco and 54 to nnris outh. Recently the tariff was reported advanced from $3 to $3.50 nhnut 50 cents a thousand feet, but they did not hold up long. About 10 days sao $3.25 anJ $3.7o were obtained and yesterday it became known that $3.50 and S4 would apply for a time, with prospects that there may be a further Vessel owners are favored by two propositions, the principal one being that steam tonnage suitable lor otner than coastwise purposes continues to be in suctv&rtlve demand that there are no longer idle vessels, while improve ment in the domestic market is keep ing nhips going that are in the trade between Northwest lumber centers ana California. Some ships that were taken for the Canal trade after the larger carriers were fixed are not ex pected to be thrown back to the Coast trade while the Canal is blocked, for it may be reopened by the time those arrive that are bound west by way of the Magellan route, so they will be turned back. GRAIN FOR SOUTH AMERICA Gruee Steamers to Iai Wheat and Flour Here This Month. Assurances that other than lumber will be carried to West Coast ports by the steamers Columbia and Stanley Tollar. now plying in W. R. Grace & Co. s line, were received yesterday, when G. M. McDowell, Portland agent for the line, closed for the shipment of a onsiderablo quant it y of cereals as well. The Columbia, due October 27. will load 2000 tons of wheat in addition to r.no.000 feet of lumber. The Stanley lollarV coming a day or two later, is to take on 1000 tons of wheat. 225 tons of flour and' 45 tons of box shooks, be sides 200.000 feet of lumber. As the .teamer Tampico. plying under the Sudden & Christenson flag, will take on a much larger shipment of flour for South America than was originally ar ranged for, October's exports to that region promise to make a spurt. That vessel also will have a deckload of lum ber. She is due today with 150 tons of cargo from Philadelphia. A- r. NOTT IS TRANSFERRED E. B.

Mr. Lafferty said that he had orig inally intended to start legal proceed ings against the city in the Federal Court In Portland, but found that such a course would be difficult. The suit will be argued at noon tomorrow in the Circuit Court. Seven allegations are made in the complaint. They are: 1. That the ordinance is harsh, unreason able, arbitrary, discriminatory, confiscatory and class legislation. That the ordinance confers arbitrary power on the Council. 3. "hat the ordinance was not passed in good faith, but to exclude competitors of toe rortiana .Railway, Light A. Power Com pany. 4. That the ordinance prevents the plain tiffs from exercislne their lawful business and requires them to secure a franchise from the city, which may be denied upon the whim of the Council. , J. That the ordinance Is void because In attempting to enforce it the Council adopted a resolution requiring the plaintiffs and all others operating automobiles between Portland and Oregon City to pay a quar terly license tax of $50 and furnish a bond for JTiOOO. 6. That the ordinance denies the plaintiffs the right to continue their lawful business, because the requirements are unreasonable. 7. That the ordinance Is a violation of both the constitution of the State of Ore gon and of the United States. The case will probably be argued be fore Circuit Jude George Bagley.'of Hillsboro.

Herald. It has been reported, recently that the government of Italy has had Dr. Edward Everett Hale's story, ."A Man Without a Country," translated Into Italian and distributed among the sol diers at the front. A million copies were printed for the first edition, and It is the intention of the government to give a copy of the book to every soldier in the army, in order to etim ulate patriotism among them. Dr, Hale, as is well known, wrote this story to stimulate patlriotism in the North in the dark days- of the Civil War. at a time when the Administra tion of Lincoln had to contend not only against the armies of the South but against the numerous sympathizers of the South in the North, who were pop ularly known as "Copperheads." The story struck fire at once, and it has continued to be widely read down to the present day. The little book wrvs Dr. Hale's best bid for early Immor tality, and It looks as If he might have secured, it. Dr. Hale wrote a great many stories in the course of his Ions life; he preached a great many ser mons, offered up a great many prayers and, performed many good deeds, but the greatest story that he ever wrote, the greatest sermon that be ever preached, the greatest prayer that he ever breathed and the greatest deed that he ever performed will be found in "A Man Without a Country."

'BEAR TICKLED' IN CONTEST So Says Trainer Refusing to Pay Wrestler Who Won Wager. WHITE PLAIN3, 2C. T., Oct. 14.
