Man Who Is Interested With Many
Seattle People Near Guadalajara.
1 Tells of Indignities Heaped .
Upon American .Citizens.
"Peace can never be established in
Mexico without American occupation.
The United States owes it to the world
to occupy Mexico, and eventually will be
forced to do it.
"The elimination of Huerta will do no
rood. Unless the United States takes
over the country and gives the Mexicans
a good lesson no American can ever,
show his face in Mexico or any other
Latin-American country."
This is the opinion expressed by A. R.
Downs, American refugee from Guad
alajara, in a letter to The Oregonian
from fcSan Diego, where he arrived May
1 with his son, his son's wife and their
seven-weeks'-old baby, and 255 other
Americans who had fled from Western
Mexico, mainly from the vicinity of
Guadalajara. They came from Manzan
Illo on the German steamer Marie.
Mr. Downs gives a graphio first-hand
description of the indignities that
Americans have suffered in Western
Mexico since the Tampico incident, of
the confiscation of their property, of
the helplessness of those friends they
possessed among the Mexicans to aid
them, and of their flight to the seacoast.
The town of Manzanillo. mentioned by
him. is the port of Guadalajara, 150
miles inland i nd capital of the State
of Jalisco.
Seattle People Interested.
Mr. Downs, with his son, is one of
the owners of an American suburb to
Guadalajara, which they call the Co
lonia Seattle, as many of the people
who are interested in the enterprise are
from Seattle, Wash.
Mr. Downs and his son did a banking
business in Guadalajara, which is con
nected with their suburb by electric
line, and bought and sold exchange on
the United States. Mexico and Europe.
Mr. Downs was in Portland last Sep
tember looking after his interests in
Oregon. .
I cannot give you the whole truth
about conditions In Mexico, because of
Toy interests there," said Mr. Downs at
that time. Now he writes:
"You cannot imagine our surprise
and disgust on arriving at San Diego
to find that the Unite . States was not
at war with Mexico. How the United
States can stand such insults and out
rages wa cannot imagine," says Mr.
Downs.
In his letter, Mr. Downs says:
Wa had been isolated from all news
In Guadalajara for some time and had
no idea of the seriousness of the sit
uation until we received another warn
ing from the State Department April
21. but thouKht but little of it as it
was more or less a repetition of the
various warnings that we had been
receiving for three years. However,
we made preparations to leave on the
following morning, when we were noti
fied by the Mexican authorities that all
train service had been suspended and
that Americans would not be permitted
to leave, but would be held as hostages
until the Mexican soldiers at El Paso
had been released.
"On the 23d, at 8 o'clock In the morn-
ln . we were notified by Percy Moimes,
the British Vice Consul, that there

allowed to proceed. The train was
surrounded by a jeering mob all the
time and the Mexican soldiers entered
the train and searched everybody, tak
ing their arms and ammunition, even
Mearching their baggage. My son, how
ever, managed to conceal one large
pistol, which from that time on was
the only arm in the possession of their
party, consisting of 113 Americans, all
of whom were huddled together in one
coach, expecting to be . killed at any
moment.
Arriving at Manzanillo at midnight
they were all arrested and put in the
American Consulate, where they were
detained until 3 P. M. the following day,
with a howling mob outside. They
-were held as hostages in the event
that a United States warship should
appear before the evacuation of the
town was completed.
"Finally, by paying a ransom of
$1100. they were allowed to go aboard
the German steamship Marie, which

auspices of the Oregon Immigration
Commission.
The work was conducted by J. W.
Brewer, field agent for the Commis
sion, who has made complete reports
on the character of the land- and its
probable adaptability for agricultural
purposes.
The total area eliminated Is 171,580
acres, but only 19,960 tillable acres are
open to entry.
The remaining land has been clas
sified as follows:
Deschutes Land Company's segrega
tion. 30,460 acres.
School lands, 5120 acres.
Withdrawn by Reclamation Service,
49,060 acres.
Patented, 53,320 acres.
Total area already appropriated,
137,960 acres. '
This leaves a net acreage of 33,620
open for entry. But of this apparently
available land a total of 13,660 acres is
nontillable, divided as follows: Lava
rock, 1720; rough, 8280; not reported,
3660.
The tillable area available for entry
therefore is 19,960 acres. There are
more than enough settlers already on
the ground to take up all this land.
The Commission is discouraging other
homeseekers from entering the eliml
nated district.
Meanwhile efforts are being made to
give homesteaders the usual 30 days'
advantage in filing on lands vacated
by the Reclamation Service. The Com
mission believes that unless this ad
vantage is provided, the most desir
able acreage -will pass into the hands
of timber speculators.
Mr. Brewer also has made a 'cruise
of the ' land in the vicinity of Fort
Rock and will have a complete report
on his findings ready for submission
to the Commission within the present
week.

COLUMBIA HIGHWAY,
Party Haa Picnic Lunch at Multnomah
Valla and Returns at Night Laden
With Ferns and Flowers.
More than 100 members of the Grade
Teachers' Association "inspected" and
worked" portions of the Columbia
Highway yesterday, under the super
vision of County Commissioner Holman,
enjoyed a picnic lunch at Multnomah
Falls, and returned last night at 6
o'clock laden- with terns and wild
flowers and enthusiastic about Mult
nomah's great highway.
Mountain foliage is more beautiful
now than at any other season, the vis
itors said, and they brought back with
them armsful of dogwood, Indian Paint
Brush Wild Heliotrope, Solomon's Seal
and Columbines and ferns.
They were equally enthusiastic
about doing their portion of the road
work. "We did not accomplish quite as
much as the men did several weeks
ago, perhaps," said Miss Grace De
Graff, president of the association, "but
we are as proud of what we did as
are the men. and when we get too old
to do any more roadwork, we can tell
the children about how we helped to
build the Columbia Highway.
"It will be a monument to those who
have charge of the construction, which
will last for a century or more. Only

"Our party was not as large as It
might have been, but what it lacked
in number was more than made up in
enthusiasm."
The party left Portland on a special
car at 7:50 o'clock in the morning and
left the train at Gordon Falls. They
worked in that section awhile, saw
Mist Falls and then walked to Mult
nomah Falls, where they spread their
picnic lunch. Later they walked past
Oneonta Gorge. Horse Trail Falls and
St. Peter's Dome, where they caught
their train back for Portland.

NORTHWARD FROM THl'RMAX STREET. '
To give an entrance to Linnton road in Northwest Portland at easy grade, property owners are proposing to pave Nicolai street from the end
of the present paving at Twenty-fourth street westward to Twenty-sixth street, where the county proposed to take the work and extend it
westerly to and possibly beyond the city limits. - The project Involves the removal of a knoll at Twenty-sixth and Nicolai which will cut down
the grade of the street so that it will not be greater than 3 per cent at any point.
It is proposed, in putting through this project, to eliminate the present steep entrance to Linnton road extending from Thurman street by
the Forestry building to Linnton road.
Linnton road is subject to exceptionally heavy traffic, and one of its most serious drawbacks now is the steep entrance near Thurman street.
This is more than many of the heavy trucks can master, especially in wet weather. .
