NOGALES. Ariz., Oct. 19. (Special.)
Twenty-five Oregon, recruits are now
camped at Nogaies as memtera of the
California militia and have the dis
tinction of having- pone further east
alongr the Mexican border than the Ore
Son boya who saw border service.
The Oregon infantry was stationed
on the beach below San Diego. The
journey of the Oregon recruits took
them a 24-hour trip eastward across
California and nearly across Arizona,
through miles of barren desert, fretted
with tall, finger-shaped cactus and
piles of bleached and weatherbeaten
rock assembled Into hills without shape
or form.
In the detachment that left Clacka
mas on the morning of October 9 there
were 67 men. Of these 42 were switched
off in California to join the Oregon
and Washington cavalry at Calexico.
Sky's Color Scheme Delights.
There is nothing quite so glorious In
Its own peculiar way as the Arizona
hills reflecting the twilight beauty of
the setting sun. The distant tops re
pose in vermeil hues, which, merging
with the shadows, bathe the lower sides
in purple. "Ravines of deeper purple
mark the divisions between the higher
and the lower hills, and these in turn
stand agleam in a golden yellow. The
whole color scheme in the clear south
ern air Is one to delight the lover of
natural beauty.
At intervals along the road are flat,
whitewashed clay buildings, having
rows of square windows on each side
and looking much like jails. These are
known as "Mexican shacks" and are
maintained by the Southern Pacific for
the housing of the Mexican section
hands. From six to eight families of
Mexicans live in one of these shacks,
and each family has a compartment to
itself. From appearances, one would
judge that their pigs, chickens and
dogs share their domestic comforts.
This Indeed is the Mexican custom.
Agricultural Possibilities Seen.
Shortly before crossing the Arizona
state line the great Salton Sea is en
countered. Ah the train speeds farther
east toward the central part of Arizona
the desert gradually begins '.o losj its
arid quality and signs of agricultural
possibilities begin to appear. Rugged,
rocky land takes the place of the sand,
and cattle are found grazing here and
there. The agricultural possibilities
of most of this country are scarcely
touched, but irrigation will make much
of it fertile, some day.
In the vicinity of Tuscon there has
been considerable irrigation, and t. t
town of some 20,000N inhabitants lays
Its present prosperity and its hope of
future greatness to the combined agri
cultural and mineral resources that are
tributary to it.
The bulk of the population along the
line is Mexican. They are of the dark
swarthy Indian type. They work on the
railroad or loll listlessly in the sun. -c
seems to be always "mannana" .vlth
them.
The most Industrious of the Mexicans
seen along the way are the women
They are on their hands and knees in
the bed of some stream engaged in the
family washing or at their domestic
household duties and other crores.
Weather Fleasurably Warm.
An 88-mile ride on a mixed train fr.. a
Benson, Ariz., brought the journey to
its end at Nogales. Nogales is on the
Mexican border line, which runs
through a principal street. The town
is situated in a little depression in
many hills, which spread about every
where. On these hills in different 'i
rections from the town t troops ere
encamped.
The weather ct this season Is pleas
urably warm. The sky is clear, with not
a cloud, and the nights .e comfortable
under two blankets.
From Nogal-s the Southern Pacific
Railroad runs through Mexico to Guer
mas. on the Gulf of California. It is
being extended through to Mexico City,
and when that is completed it will af
ford the most direct route to that place
from Western - points Nogales is of
great strategic importance. Commer
cially It is not of great importance yet;
but some day it is goi-g to be.

aU rendered services of such inesti

Lubrication means increased action.
This is a well-defined principle and
has now been demonstrated in the case
of inactive bowels.
By a purely mechanical process it
has been abundantly demonstrated that
Ameroil. or pe paraffine oil, will
lubricate the bowels, softening the
contents and causing an easy and nat
ural movement.
Amerou la being more and more
widely used for constipation and vari
ous other disorders of the intestinal
tract.
It has been shown that Ameroil does
tiot In any way affect the digestive
processes, that it does not absorb into
the nystem, and that It has healing
properties very valuable where irrita
tion Is present. Taken inwardly, it
simply passes through the bowels, oil
ing the intestinal channels as it goes
along and softening " the hardened
masses which have caused the const!
pation.
Ameroil Is colorless, tasteless and
odorless, most agreeable to take, and
causes no gripe or pain. It Is sold at
E0 cents per pint bottle at all Owl

Tillamook Expects Hay Famine This
Winter and Probable Loss of
Some at Dairy Stock.
SALEM. Or.. Oct, 23. (Special.)
The car shortage on the Portland dlvi
sion of the Southern Pacific today
reached 2186, a new record, and indi
cations that it will continue to mour.r.
are given in reports which have been
received by the Oregon Public faervicu
Commission. The company reported
that it had orders on file today f jr
2557 freight cars and only 371 empty
ears available for loading.
Residents in Tillamook County who
own stock are threatened with serious
consequences because of their inability
to obtain hay. Large amounts of hay
are shipped annually to Tillamook.
This year only a few cars are available
and a shortage in hay has resulted.
The Public Service Commission today
received a vigorous complaint from
Rosenberg Brothers, of Tillamook, ask
ing for relief. They assert that they
annually ship in from 100 to 150 cars of
hay from the Willamette Valley and
store it in their warehouses. This sea
son they declare they have been get
ting only one car every 10 days, where
they need from one to three a day.
With no hay stored, the Tilamook pen
pie foresee serious situation next
Winter, when it will be impossible to
ship it In because of the uncertain rail
way connections at that time of year.

AVhlle Grains, Starch, Wsshlac
Powder and Cheese Go Up.
There was an advance of 40 cents
a Darrei in the Portland and Puaj-e
souna iiour markets yesterday, as
consequence of the higher Drlcea nald
for wheat in the Northwest. The new
wholesale price of patent flour Is $7.80
a barrel, the highest price known here
in a great many years. Not only were
the hard-wheat family patents raised,
but Valley grades, whole wheat and
grraham flours were also advanced. No
change was made in the price of the
lower grade straights and clears.
Wheat prices are lifted a good 3
cents a bushel at all points in the
interior, following- the big- advance at
Chicago, but the higher bids did not
tempt many of the farmers to sell,
but, on the contrary, made them more
bullish In holding- than heretofore. At
the local Grain Exchange 30,000 bush
els of Club wheat was sold at $1.46
and $1.47 a bushel, an advance of 6
and 7 cents over Saturday's best bids.
Buyers offered up to $1.52 for Blue
stem wheat for later delivery. This
price is within 7 cents a bushel of
the record wheat quotation in this mar
ket. The other cereals are also climb
ing in price because of stronger mar
kets in the East.
There were but few changes in the
grocery list yesterday that will af
fect consumers. The wholesale price
of starch was raised 30 cents a hun
dred and a leading brand of wash
lug powder was advanced 20 cents a
case.
An advance or 1 cent a pound In the
factory price of cheese was telegraphed
from Tlllaiuook yesterday. This trill
