Disarm Troops at Juarez. Kl Paso, Texas, Sept. IS. Cl. N. S.) With the entire Juarex garrison dis armed and their ammunition and stores under guard of officers, Juarez, Mex ico, today Is the scene of a wild Jubila tion by thousands of Mexicans from both sided of the border, and there Is grave apprehension that trouble will break out before night.

Lives and property of Americans and Other foreigners In northern Mexico were in the gravest danger today, ow ing to the impending disintegration of Villa's uriny. The inevitable result. American consuls wireJ Secretary Lansing, will be brigandage on a great scale and, possibly, attacks on every foreigner In the region who has any thing to steal.

COOS COUNTY IS RICH IN RESOURCES, BUT NEDS COOP ROADS District Is Large; Agricultural Possibilities Are Generally Superior, DAIRY PRODUCTS LEAD Prcrvtadallsm Partly to Blame Xaok of TJrgiag Construc ttoa of Xoada. for By J. B. Zieeler. Coos Is a large county and in re- , sources maintains Its relative import i ance. In timber and dairy products it stands well In the lead, while coal mining, fishing and commerce with some manufacturing are material aids. No more lovely or agriculturally su perior valley to the Coquille Is to be found In Oregon, and that is almost the same as saying in America; while the Coos valley Is second only in size. Coos county will surpass, if it has not already done so, Tillamook, which has been the banner dairy county of Oregon for two reasons, a greater area of dairy land, and a somewhat better climate for grass and eneilage. Myrtle Point is a finely situated town on a level bench surrounded on three sides by the fertile Coquille bot toms. It has a population of about 100 and lies in about the center of the Coquille valley, at its widest part, where the north, south and middle forks come together. The setting of the landscape, sur rounded by the not too abrupt hills, clothed in myrtla and young fir. Is very pleasing, while the varied undu lations of the skyline are surpassingly beautiful. Stratge Mixture Been. There is in the town that strange mixture of apparent age and newness, one so often finds In isolated pioneer towns, where the march of industry has not kept stesdy pace with the hopes engendered by the bountifulness of nature. Some dwellings, rather pre tentious when new. are weather worn and mossy, while surrounded with a rank profusion of rose vines and shrubs, and shade and fruit trees or apparently 40 years of age. The town Is particularly adorned with the native myrtle. Some of these are very large and aged, and with their short trunks and huge globular tops of dark glaucous foliage, ara a ricn and Imposing ornament. Some of the llttl suburban farms in the bottoms surrounding the town possess a fine beauty. Roil is Very Tarttla. There is a turnpike running along the alder shaded banks of the clear waters and pebbly bed of the Coquille, while on the other aide are the little farmsteads embowered tn vines and or chards and surrounded with small fields of rankly growing grain and ensilage. Everything bears evidence to the boundless fertility of the soil. One of these places, while somewhat it. nraented. on my arrival early In July, an exquisitely attractive appearance. There was a low unpalnted cottage, weather beaten, with wide sheds and two huge pink rambler rose bushes embracing the house from diagonally opposite corners and flowing over the roof until half of It was burled In mounds of these lavish beauties. m, o n civrtd orchard, ana noth. runnlne to the house through an acre or two of gooseberry and cur rant bushes. Among these were scat tered hives from which bees were carrying on their bustling and cheer ful travail. Everything there to soothe and comfort the soul of man, but pre- tensa and ambition were remarkably absent. Slpaalac Trolts Sees. At the time of ray departure near the last of August, the fading glories I have described were replaced by those of ripening fruits, full blown cornfields, sunflowers, hollyhocks and the yellow blossomed pumpkin vines. Everything was greener and more lux uriant than on the eastern side of the divide. The gate of access by which I en tered and left this paradise in the southwestern comer of our state was by auto stage from Roseburg. In sum mer, that is the main gateway, and while It leaves much to be desired, the auto has given such outlying towns a tolerable connection. In fact, de spite the absurdly bad roads, the auto stage Is the most comfortable stage of the Journey between Portland and Coos Bay. There Is better air, more comfort and more consideration for the passengers. But those roads! It Is 63 miles from Roseburg to Myrtle Point. The travel is large. tDouglas and Coos are rich counties. They do not know what to do with all their wealth. Yet, in win ter, vehicles are dragged over those miry coast mountains through" a slough of stiff mud by the sheer brute strength of horses. Vehicles Cant Turn Oyer. Sometimes the vehicles are upright and sometimes reclining on their wheels. The mud Is so deep they can not turn completely over. And those people have been doing that for 40 years! The saving in vehicle expenses in five years would grade and pave the road. The state gave the Southern Oregon company many thousands of acres of these valuable timber lands to con struct and maintain a road. It was constructed as poorly as poKsthle. snd then such exorbitant tolls were charged, that the Myrtle Point road was built as a competing road without a subsidy, and it Is a better road than the other. Now a bond Issue of $400,000 is pro posed by Coos county to build roads plank roads for the sawmill men. Why was not this wagon road company forced to build a real road, with h per cent grades Instead of 16 per cent, and paved or macadamised? State's Duty Suggested. The state could do it profitably on such a, resource, and why shouldn't the state take back the land and do it? I asked a bright and energetic citi zen of Myrtl Point that question, in advocacy of my plan for disposal of the O. & C. land grant. Involving the retaining of 50 per rent of timber sales for a public road fund. "W'hy!" said he, "we would have boulevards all over the country!" For 40 years, he and his neighbors have floundered through these quag- have seen the great land grant tract of valuable timber go unsettled and unused, without objection; yet a prop-; osltlon to build the .roads out of the) proceeds of thj timber meets such ait objection! The implication waa that miry roads are preferable to "boule vards all over the country." Feople Too Conservative. It la plain that these people, while Intelligent, are conservative. Ultra conservatism In the fault of a provin cial people. They are creatures of habit. Isolation and plenty have pro tected them from the competition of the busy world, which while It brlnga unwonted benefits also brings its prod, ling cares and rivalries. Hut how can a provincial people be blamed for provincialism? It is na ture that environment shall react upon 'be Individual. Environment make! the olty man and the country man each after his mold, yet 1 can't help but think that better roads and more gov. ernmental cure for the back country and leB scheming activity, and un-, wholesome rivalry for the city would be better. They are at the two poles of a civilization, yet far from perfect. Damans Asked. J. A. Shield) yesterday sued W. U.

Marjory, arrived in Eugene last evening' in a car, whlcn ' the senator bought in Portland a' few '. days ago. They are on n. tripto Curry county and Klamath county, expecting I to be gone about thre week.

Bay, where the senator will inspect the ; government dredging work that is now being carried on. From Coos Uay they will go to Port Orford and if possible to the mouth of the Rogue rive. At Port Orford an endeavor is being made . to build a breakwater to assist the hipping in that section. A great deal of tha Port Orford white cedar, known the world over is shipped from there but the shipments are made under great difficulties. Senator Lane some tlm ago tried , to obtain from congress an approprla 1 tlon with which to build an Inexpen sive breakwater at the harbor there, but tha engineers reported that the : property to be benefited belonged to " private persons and congress turned tha project down. "Many years ago," said; Senator Lane, ' the inhabitants confeelved the Idea of building this small breakwater to make Port Orford a harbor of refuge, and if the improvement is ever made the object will have been attSrned."
