Eli PASO, Tex., July 2. Another sur
vivor of the Carrizal tight was
located today. He Is Corporal F. X.
Cooke, of Troop K, Tenth Cavalry, who
was brought into ' Juarez today from
Villa Ahmuada and placed in prison.
General Francisco Gonzales, Juarea
commander, telegraphed General Ja
cinto Trevlfio at Chihuihua for in
structions, and it Is probable Cooke
will be turned over to the American
authorities tomorrow.
Corporal Cooke, in addition to telling
a thrilling story of his adventure since
the battle with the Mexicans under
General Gomez, added his etatement to
that of other survivors that the Mex
icans fired he first shots of the en
gagement. " . .
Captain Boyd's Order Quoted.
He also quoted Captain Boyd as say
ing just before the commander gave
orders to hl men to advance: "The
General has given orders that there is
only one way for us to go and that is
to the north. My orders are to go to
Villa Ahumada, to the -east, and I am
going there."
. In previous stories Captain Boyd's
mission had been explained to have
been the recovery of a deserter at
Villa Ahumada.
Captain Boyd also, Cooke said, cau
tloned them against firing first and
against letting any piece go off acci
dentally, under pain of heavy punish
ment. After escaping from the fight at Car
rizal, Cooke said he wandered foodless
with a broken right arm for four days,
lived several iore on the hospitality
of Mexican ranohers. and then pushed
out alone for the American base, only
to be captured at a water hole. He

Mexican Not Hostile.
Despite his American uniform and
bandaged arm, his presence excited no
hostile demonstrations in Villa Ahu
mada and not even curiosity in Juarez.
"I was shot down in the very begin
ning of the fight." said Corporal Cooke.
"I crawled back with my arm dragging,
to a ditch and crawled down it. There
I met Corporal Queen. The Corporal
undid his emergency bandage and
bound up my arm. I fhen went back
to where the horse-holders had been
and couldn't see anybody. So I struck
out for the place where we had camped
the night before.
"I didn't then even know the place of
the fight was named Carrizal. I saw
only five men who had been shot down,
hut someone said Captain Boyd was
killed. The number killed and cap
tured is sure a surprise to me.
"I reached our old camping ground
n t phfint '-in in hA n,n-
. ... " aiiciltuun HUH
stuck around there until 8 at night, ex
pecting my command to assemble there.
No sir. I didn't intend to surrender, I
intended to get back to our base at
Federlco.
Trail Lost In Mesnlte.
Tor days I wandered around, trying
to work my way back the way we came.
Jim x got orr on the wrong trail. I
didn't get a bite to eat these days
and had hard work finding water. Of
course I did my traveling at night and
hid In the mesquite in the day. There
were plenty of coyotes howling around
at night, but I never saw even a single
rattlesnake in the day time.
"As I didn't know any Spanish I fait
kind of leary about showiner mvif
But I got so weak with my arm swollen
up, loss of blood and no food, that
finally when I was looking for water
I saw a Mexican at a well watering
iiiuibb, ana, oeiieve me, ne looked good,
even if he was a Mexican.
' On my wanderings I had picked up
tl Mexican clay water bottle and the
first thing I did at the well wan to
empty the bottle six times. When the
.Mexican got oyer his astonishment T
made Bigns for 'chow,' so he led me
over to the ranch.
Mexican Family Hospitable.
"There were five men. three women
and five, kids in the house and the
women gave me some beans. Afterward
I slept. They all treated me just as
nicely as if I . had been one of their
own soldiers. They knew, about the
fight, but I could only point to my arm
and say 'Villa Ahumada." I staved
about f our days, I reckon, or five. Dur
ing that time the Mexicans bathed my
arm in hot water and reduced the swel
ling, but I wanted a doctor to set the
bone. So I struck off again across the
desert.
"After I had crossed about five miles
of desert my water ran out, so I turned
back. Besides, I was worried about my
arm. I was kind of backward about
Doing seen in those parts. But
couldn't find any drinking place and
at last went down to a water hole.
While I was drinking a Carranza cav
alryman came up and led me back to a
ranch. We were about 12 miles helnw
Villa Ahuma, The soldier was going
to take me in by train, but we found
the train had gone when we got to the
station. So the soldier got a horse and
we rode over to the town. There they
kept me in the military quarters until
the Jukrez train left. I came up to
Juarez with the soldier and a couple
or Mexican families in a boxcar. The
soldier and all the Mexicans I me
treated me kindly and I have not an
kick. But it will seem good to ere
back with my outfit and washed up

ng the district, as a result of the firing
ast night from the Mexican side on a
detachment of United States cavalry
men.
Marauders Probably Scouts.
Investigation developed that the ma
rauders probably were part of a Mex-
can scouting party sent from Ascen-
lon, 70 miles south, to reconnoiter the
frontier, and who flred only when chal
lenged by American sentries. Reports
reaching here from the field in the last
few days have indicated that a Mexican
ntelligence officer is situated there for
the purpose of keeping track of Amer
ican troops and supplies from the bor
der. Coupled with these reports, the
Carranza garrison at that point has
been increased materially recently.
Hoof prints Indicated that the de
tachment was composed of about a
dozen mounted men, and several empty
cartridge shells of the type used by
troops of the de facto government were
found near the scene of the shooting.
CHIHUAHUA CITY,' Mexico, July 2.
General Carranza today gave orders
for the release of 75 per cent of the
00.000 ounces of silver bullion recently
seized by troops of the de facto gov
ernment from the Alvarado Mining &
Milling Company, of Parral, a cor
poration controlled by Americans.
Remnlnder Held for Taxes.
General Jacinto, of Parral, transmit
ted the orders to General Luis Her
rera, commandant at Parral. The re
mainder of the silver is being held, ac
cording to dispatches, as security for
axes.
The bullion was seized at the time
of the Carrizal engagement as a neces
sary precaution in the event of hos
tilities with the United States. It Is
believed that because of the present
high price of silver the company will
suffer no great Inconvenience.
General Trevino announced today
that vigorous measures are in prog
ress to destroy the remnants of the
Villlsta sentiment remaining in Du

denied rumors that the breach between

General Georee Bell. Jr.. announced
today that he Tiad employed a corps of

soldiers slain in the engagement there.
The undertakers will go into Mexico
under personal guarantee of safety
from General Alvaro Obregon, Mexican
Minister of War.
The terrific heat that greeted the ar
riving Guardsmen today kept most of
them under cover. The word went out
that following their arduous trip from
the cool Atlantic Coast region to the
burning mesas of Western Texas the
soldier boys should take things easy.
The result was that there were few
prostrations.
The mounts or the cavalry aetacn-
ments suffered greatly from the long

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July 2. The monthly bulletin
of the Federal Reserve Board, issued
today, discussing business conditions
of -the Pacific Coast, says:
"While the crops of this section will
be less than the average, due to dam
age by late "frost and drouth, the,
farmers and fruit growers will be pro
tected from loss through the greater
prices which they will receive for their
products. Peach growers who Inst
year permitted their crops to rot on
the trees because of the unprofitable
prices, then prevailing are this year
contracting to sell their product, which
will be 40 to 60 per cent of the average,
at more than double the prices pre
vailing at the same time last year.
Apples and Pears Damaged.
"The damage from frost to apples
and pears In the Northwest has beon
quite serious and general but the pre
diction is made that notwithstanding
this the years crop will exceed that
of 1915.
This year's grain cron of the twelfth
district will be from 20 to 3it per tent
less than that of last year. This snort-
age Is due to the unusual drouth
which has .prevailed during the Spring
In certain parts of California. A ma
terlal decrease in acreage is reported
from the Northwest. It is asserted
that the carry over from last year's
wheat crop in Oregon and Washing
ton equals 20 to 40 per cent of last
year's crop.
Mining, durlnir the past year has
been the most profitable -. industry
within this district. The next most
profitable one has been livestock. Re
cent rains in Idaho have greatly bene
flted the grazing lands. Sheep, wool
and cattle are all bringing high prices
In all of the states of this district.
Dairying Is also prosperous.
Lumber " Industry Reviving.
"The revival of the lumber business
In Washington, Oregon and California
has added greatly to the prosperity of
these sections. Many mills which have
until recently been closed are running
at capacity." Lack of ships to move
the product by water is a handicap,
The strike of longshoremen, which af
fects all Pacific Coast porta, is detri
mental to water transportation.
"It is too early to predict the result
of this years packing season of sal
mon and tuna fish. It Is, however, re
ported that there is some disappoint
ment at the small catch of salmon. Re
sults of tho operations of this Industry
In Alaska or other distant waters are
not yet available. '
"Commercial conditions throughout
the district are better than normal.
The radical advance in prices that
affected all lines of merchandise does
not seem to have curtailed the de
mand and the volume of business
being transacted by Jobbers and other
distributing agencies Is In excess "f
the name period of 1915. While buy
ing by wholesalers Is now corductoi
on a more conservative basis than
earlier In the year, due to the high
prices now prevailing, the demand does
not seem to have been affected.
Advance Orders Increased.
"Advance orders for dry goods and
like lines taken by wholesalers for
Fall delivery are much larger In vol
ume than ever before experienced in
this section.
"Collections are reported to ha much
better than usual. Reports from 17
cities of this district show an increase
over the same month of last year of
31 per cent in bank clearings and 32
per cent in building permits for the
month of May.
"Automobile registration for the dis
trict during the five months ot this
year Is 13 per cent over the total reg
istrations for the entire year 1915,
"The demand for loans has per
ceptibly Increased in all parts of the
district and the real estate market is
showing signs of revival."

Seveniy-flve per cent of the sawmills
In Western Washington and Western
Oregon will be shut down for an aver
age period of 10 days, beginning tomor
row. This Is an annual affair in the
lumber industry, a closing down of
plants for repairs and the installation
of new equipment. "
This year it will mean decreased pro
duction of at least 150,000,000 feet of
lumber. The estimate is made by the
West Coast Lumbermen's Association
on the basis of reports from mills
throughout the fir district
Lumbermen closely in touch with
conditions consider the Fourth of July
close-down this year as likely to be a
strong factor in restoring stability and
bringing supply and demand back into
proper relationship.
The week's trade - barometer issued
by the West Coast Lumbermen's Asso
ciation showed orders 18.63 per cent
below the week's production of 66.324,
762 feet of lumber by 101 mills. Ship
ments by the same mills were 9.71'per
cent below production.
The rail trade new businees booked
during the week amounted to 1628 car
loads, or about 40.700.000 feet, an aver
age of 402.970 feet to the milL
Shipments amounted to 16S4 carloads,
or 4 2,100.000 feet, an average of 416,
