Hyland, local manager for the Standard Oil Co., says that the Canyon creek 'canyon road now un dergoing repairs, and heralded as exceedingly bad, holds no terrors for him, and Judging from the time he madie in covering the distance from Roseburg to Glendale last week, a distance of over 50 miles, negotiated in three hours and ten minutes, with sevleral stops, it would seem that the "oil king" knows whereof he speaks, says the Roseburg Review. Mr. Hy- land reports the highway thru the canyon quite rough, but withal easily traverised. He experienced no trouble whatever ln reaching Glen dale via the Canyou Creek canyon route. .

Mexican Situation Worries Washington The situation In northern Mexico Is again reflected as serious ln ad vices received Monday. The state de partment has been advised that 3000 employes of an American mining company at Santa Eulalla have been removed to Chlsuah.ua City because of threats by Villa. In the capture of Parrel the en tire Carranza garrison went over to the Villa forces which now threaten Chlsuahau City. Americans in the state capital are reported to be en deavoring to obtain passage to ' El Paso as they fear the garrison may Join the Villlstas. Torreon Is said to be Villa's next objective. Reports from the border say the CInchos bridge at Ortiz, south of Chihuahua City, had been de stroyed by the rebels, thus closing the road for reinforcements moving northward. It is reported that Villlstas cap tured Jimlnez three weeks ago and that later the federal troops recap tured tho city. While this is doubt ed it Is admitted that the situation regarding Jimlnez is confused. Villa has demanded an Indemnity of 1,000,000 pesos from the Torreon region Industries. The superintend ent of the Santa Eulalla mines re ported that the bandit demanded taxes'" for protection. To avoid paying the "tax" the superintendent closed the mines and took all the men to Chihuahua. In his Inew movement to the south Villa has resumed his terrorizing tactics.
