Armj Disintegration Means Danger.
' Washington. "Kept. 16. (I. N. 8.)
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.
Villa's agency here today entered a
Vigorous protest against the state de
partment x orders withdrawing all
American consuls from the north. It
declares the order is tantamount to a
recognition of Carranza.

of Deputy Sheriffs Monohatf, Haley,
Uva and Morton In firing Into Mata

The occurrence alo may result In
American civilians being disarmed.

at firing across the border from
the Mexican side if American citizens
art glmllarly restrained.

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.

Senator Lane 09
' Way to Reservation
Will Also Inspect Government Dredging
Work oa Coos Bay and Take Up
Matter of Orford Breakwater.
Eugene. Or., Kept. 16. Harry Lane,
United states senator from Oregon,
accompanied by Mrs. Lane and their
youngest daughter. 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.
The party started from Portland yes
terday morning at '. : 3 0 o'clock and
reached Eugene about 7 lust evening.
The vlaltors left this morning for Koe.
burg and from there will go to Coos
. 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."
The senator Is on the Indian--committee
of the senate, and one ofThe
purposes of his present trip Is to visit
the T&atnath and Warm Spring reser
vations to observe conditions there and
. report to his commmlttee. He has al
ready visited tha Bilets and Umatilla
