MEXICAN REBELS GAINING.
Many Town Captured American
Fie Acres Border,
Nocale. Ari., May 8. - Almost all
of Western Mexico is in the hand of
(h. rehfh. They have captured onj
town after another, and now besiege
Matatlan. the principal Pacific e.
port, and Culiacan.
Governor Rodog, of Sinaloa, ha o
small a force that he can do no more
than hold these two town, and doubt
i expressed whether he can hold them
long. Fighting i almost continuoua
in Sinaloa and Sonora.
Not only is the political welfare of
the Western Mexican state affected,
but American interest are involved
and in danger. Even the live of
Americans, hitherto held aered by
Federal and rebels, are no longer re
garded a safe in the interior of Mex-
Prominent railroad officials who
reached Nogales from Mexico today
brought with them the warning from
the rebels to remove their familie as
quickly as possible into the United
States and to advise all of their Amer
ican friends to do likewise. Coupled
with these warnings, was the threat
of the insurrectos that they intended,
before the end of the week, to launch
attacks against all the Mexican border
towns. Many American families are
coming across the border.
Ward came from Matrdalena district.
southeast of Nogales, of the complete
wiping out of a body or au reuerais
under Luis Estrella by a band of
rebels in the vicinity of Octates.
Reports of heavy fighting near La
Colorado, southeast of Hermoaillo,
were brought across the border today.
The rebels claim to have recaptured
I .a Colorado, which has been the scene
of bitter fighting during the present
rebellion.
WOMAN GRATEFUL TO EVANS.
Life Saved By Outlaw at Cost of
Capture.
rmpntn. Cal. When Chris Ev
ans, train robber, stepped out of the
Folsom prison a iree man, ytaruen
Roillov handed him a Dackaire contain
ing an old fashioned gold signet ring.
Accompanying it was a note wruien
in a feminine hand wishing him God
speed into his new life.
This was the sequel to an inciueni
that nmirrnl in Evans' life when he
was a fugitive from justice, being
. . ii it I T.
tracked by men ana oiooanounus. ii
was the reward of a woman whose life
Evans had saved.
Fnllnwinir Evans' escane from the
Vicolio iail he staved one nitrht at a
tent in the backwoods occupied by a
wood cutter and his wire, me wue
lying sick on the bed. The rude shel
ter leaked snow and rain, while a few
rods away stood a comfortable moun
tain cabin boarded up for the winter.
The owner of the cabin had asked
the husband to take care of it but had
commanded him not to enter the place.
Evans commanded the husband at the
muzzle of a rifle to break open the
cabin and make his wife comfortable
there. Evans and his companion
spent the night in the tent.
That act saved the woman's life and
made Chris Evans' capture easy for
the pursuing posse. " The bitter cold
of the night spent in the tent so weak
ened Evans that he was an easy prey
the next day.

Stat Board of Health Ha Posters
Distributed In National Forest.
Thousand of joter warning camp
er against polluting of stream art
being distributed throughout the na
tional forest of Oregon by forest
ranger, at the instance of the atat
board of health. They read :
"Danger Forest rangers, hunter,
camper and tourist contract typhoid
fever every year from polluted
streams.
"Section 2240, Oregon law, ay:
If any person shall put any excre
ment, or any putrid, nauseous, decay
ing, deleteriou substance in any
spring, brook or branch of running
water, he shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor.' etc. This law must be
enforced. Oregon State Hoard of
Health.
"In addition to rigid law enforce
ment we ask co-operation of camper
and all others who enter national for
ests," said Dr. Calvin S. White, state
health officer. "The running streams
of Oregon that should properly be
pure as the snow in the mountains
whence they (low, have been made sew
ers by the carelessness and ignorance
of those who enter the forests. Now
that the danger, not only to campers,
but to all others, is known, there
should be, and I think will be, suc h
care taken as will contribute to the
general safety and public health."
The state board of health has writ
ton to the government authorities at
Washington, asking in whom author
ity is vested to prevent pollution of
streams in Crater Lake national .for

CENSUS DATA FOR OREGON.
Great and Small Gain in Population
Are Feature.
Washington Notable increases in
population are shown in the revised
report of the census of Oregon cities
and towns just completed by the cen
sus bureau, and 10 increases are also
recorded. Outside of Portland the
growth of Salem is the greatest, the
capital city now housing 14,094 peo
ple compared to 4,258, its population
when the census was taken in 1900.
Fully as interesting are the slight
increases in population in a decade
shown by many cities. Athena, in
Umatilla county, gained only 83
since 1900; Baker 79; Bay City, Til
lamook county, 78; Beaver Hill, Coos
county, 30; Copperficld, Baker coun
ty, 20; Dundee, Yamhill county, 72;
Gervais, Marion county, 16; Mount
Angel, 8; lone. Morrow county, 16;
Pendleton. Umatilla county, 54; Ver-
onia, Columbia county, 7; Waterloo,
Linn county, 24, and Yamhill, Yam
hill county, 71.
Among the cities for which loss oi
population is recorded ase Adams,
Antelope, Arlington, Butteville, Gran-
te, Harney, Harristiurg, neppner,
John Day, and Long Creek. The pop
ulation dwindling of Butteville is the
worst, the count in 1900 beipg 647
and only 49 ten years later.
BIRDS FLOCK to KLAMATH.
Lake County Fast Becoming Famou
Breeding Place.
Klamath Falls That Klamath coun
ty is becoming famous as a breeding
place and that the establishing of the
Lower Klamath Lake bird reserve by
Colonel Roosevelt when president of
the United States was a good move
for the future bird industry of the
entire county is attested by Deputy
Game Warden Lewis, who is in charge
of this reserve, which lies partly in
Northern California and partly in
Southern Oregon.
' Mr. Lewis has just returned from a
trip of several days spent in the Low
er lake region, where he was looking
after the birds of that reserve for the
Federal government. He states that
from all appearances more of the
feathered tribe of all kinds will nest
on what are known as Bird Islands
this year than has been the case for
years. Among these will be millions
of geese and ducks of every kind,
while cranes, cormorants, pelicans and
other kinds of non-game birds are
nesting there in great numbers.
More Convicts for Roads,
Salem Attorneys for Lowenberg,
Going & Co. are negotiating with Gov
ernor West for a renewal of the con
tract for labor at the penitentiary,
which the governor has declared for
feited because . the stove foundry peo
ple are in default on their payments.
The governor says he will insist upon
a release of a large number of the
convicts the state is obliged to furnish
Lowenberg, Going & Co., under the
present contract, so they may be used
in building public roads.
Artesian Well Down 750 Feet.
Freewater The artesian well of
the commercial orchards of J. H. Hall
is being rushed by both day and night
shifts. The bore is now down 750
feet and Contractor Durant states that
it will probably be necessary to go
fully 1,000 feet, 300 feet deeper than
any other well drilled in the Walla
Walla valley. The formation is about
the same as in the rest of the country,
but in the other wells bedrock was
reached at a depth of about 500 feet.
Freewater Potatoes $2.75 a Sack.
Freewater Potatoes are scarce in
this vicinity. All winter they have
been selling at $1.75 a sack, until this
week they jumped to $2.75.
OUR HOME STATE
BOYS TO MAKE TRAPNEST8,
Manual Training Teacher of Portland
Ask Plan to Follow.
Corvalli Trot Drydeu of the O.
A. l poultry department hns Just
received request . from Vt llliam J
Stanley, uHrviior of manual train
intr at the llolladay school of Port
land, for the plan and specification
of the traimest which Prof. Dryden
designed and included In the college
exhibit at the Seattle eiposiotn.
'The Lent and Arleta section of
Portland are very much interested In
the chicken business," say Mr. Stan-
lev, "so I will start the boy of the
manual training department making
chicken furniture. The trapneat
shown by your college at the Seattle
tn)sition wa a very good model.
Will you kindly let me have sketches
or drawings?"
Though score of trapnest have
been invented and patented, not all
have been as thoroughly tested as the
one originated by the college, which is
not patented, so anyone may get the
plans and build one without fear of
prosecution. It is extremely simple
in construction, and can be made by
ny one who can use a saw and drive a
nail. The whole thing can be cut from
one board a foot wide, ten feet long,
nd an inch thick.
The trapneat i in the form of a box
open at one end, with a door which
close a the hen enter. After she
has laid, she is released by an attend
ant w ho takes the number on her leg
hand and marks it on the egg. Thu
the owner may know which hen are
the ones that luy the egg, so he can
eliminate fron the Hock those which
do not lay enough egg to pay for
their care.
TRY DRY ALFALFA FARMING.
A, F. Hitt Gives Soma Advice to East
ern Oregon Dweller,
Farmers of Eastern Oregon are
urgtxl to develop dry farming alfdfa
by A. F. Hitt, special field agent for
Oregon, Washington and Idiiho of the
bureau of statistics of the United
State department of agriculture.
Mr. Hitt say the plan is being suc
cessfully adopted in the Idaho dis
trict where the rainfall i only be
tween 3 and 9 inches. He believe,
therefore, that there i no reason why
it should not be equally profitable in
Central Oregon, where the rainfall i
much greater.
In discussing the matter with J. J.
Sayer, who is now touring Eastern
Oregon gathering information for the
Portland Commercial club, on the re
sources and conditions of that partic
ular part of the state, Mr. Hitt stated
that the farmer who will try thi
plan conscientiously will make a profit
in two ways. In the first place, he
pointed out, he will get a good crop of
hay and in the second place the grow
ing of alfalfa will restore to fertility
lands worn out by constant croppings
with wheat.
RAILROADS RACE TO COAST.
Hill System and Southern Pacfic Are
Rushing Work,
Grants Pass. From best inside in
formation obtainable, there is appar
ently a race on to the coast between
the Hill system from Eagle Point to
Crescent City via Grants Pass, and the
Southern Pacific system from Lureka,
Cal., to Grants Pass.
Information conies that heavy con
struction equipment and a large force
of mules and scrapers is unloading at
Eureka for the Southern Pacific.
Charts of the Grants Pass yards have
been made at Portland. The South
ern Pacific has had options on lots
from the right of way at Grants Pass
to Rogue River for Beveral months.
All are reported accepted and the
money paid for them.
Coos Oil Test Goes On.
Marshfield The well of the Miocene
Oil & Gas company which is being
sunk at Bear creek, near Bandon,
promises well, according to the re
ports of those interested. Drilling
has been stopped temporarily pending
the arrival of more machinery ordered,
from San Francisco, but the work will
be resumed in a few days' and it is ex
pected that before many weeks the
well will determine whether there is
a big supply of oil in the neighbor
hood. The company was formed by
Bandon men with local capital and ex
perts were employed to do the work.
The company holds oil leases on large
tracts. It has always been believed
there was oil in Coos county, but this
is the first effort to find it that has
been carried to any extent.
