IHOUSTIL DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATE

Lands o f Douglas County Believed Hood
Source o f Materials.
Roseburg—A fte r years o f expert
ments in which thousands o f dollars
have been spent, Douglas county
destined to become one o f the fore
most cement-producing counties in the
United States. Up to a short time
ago the State o f Oregon was declared
to be one of the few states in the Un
ion in which raw materials suitabl
for the manufacture o f Portland cein
ent were scarce.
It was considered in Oregon an im
possibility to find raw materials
limestone and shale—in the same lo
cality; otherwise no company could
have possibly been formed which
would have to face such difficulties in
the way o f hauling raw materials to
the Portland Cement company.
The location o f these newly discov
ered deposits is the Riedle property
near Roseburg.
The raw materials,
an abundance o f limestone o f the
highest grade, almost pure marble
and shale o f uniform composition, are
on the north and south side o f the
property at an altitude o f several hun
dred feet in such a position that they
would be about 100 feet above th
crushers o f a cement plant built on
one o f the hillsides and that the lime
stone would be within 500 feet and
the shale within 1,000 feet of the
crushers.
Dr. W. Michael is, o f Chicago, who
thoroughly examined these properties
and burned Portland cement from the
limestone and shale on the Riedel
property, declared these deposits to
contain the most uniform and valuable
cement
materials west o f Devil
Slide, Utah.
In all, Mr. Riedle controls practical
ly 280 acres o f land, adjoining the
properties owned by the Portland, Os
wego, Dallas & Roseburg railroad
The land lies at the head o f Roberts
Creek and is accessible to transports
tion. Mr. Riedle says he will develop
the property within the next year,
having already arranged for the net*
essary capital.

cars, at an average o f $2.25 a crate.
Pears, 25 cars; Bartletts, $1.25 per
box, and D'Anjou, $1.92 per box.
The average o f the Yellow New-
towns will be materially increased

The greater part of

The principal markets o f the Hood
River apple are shown to be London,
Liyerpool, Hamburg, New York City,
Chicago,
Milwaukee,
Minneapolis,
Rockford and other cities contiguous
to the above. An increasing demand
during the past two years has been
showing itself in the Middle West and
Southern states. Several carloads of
Hood River apples have been disposed
o f in Tennessee and Arkansas within
the past few months. Texas also con
sumes a great quantity o f the fruit
and is demanding more.

New York— As the result o f an
earnest discussion among army und

the possibility o f duplicating in this
country a system o f co-operative mil
itary stores in England by which those
in service may buy any article o f mer

price,Ithe Army and Navy Co-opera
tive company was incorporated at A l
bany, with the approval of the secre
tary of state.
Within a few months the company
will have stores open in this city and
ready for business.
The chief pur
pose o f the corporation is to "reduce
the cost of living by selling the best
articles o f "domestic consumption and
general use at the lowest remunera
tive rates.”
The advantages o f the organization
are to be extended, not only to the
army and navy and all civilian em
ployes of both branches of the service,
but to the state m ilitia as well, be
cause o f the recent close relations be
tween regular and volunteer army and
navy men.
Rear Admiral Manx is one o f the
incorporators and will he elected pres

porators, who is a son-in-law of Rear
Admiral William T. Sampson, was one

mez' frank public declaration that he
will accept the provisional presidency
in case the rebels succeed in forcing
F. I. Madero from the national palace,
has gone far toward convincing unoffi
cial residents of the capital that a
general
rebellion
is in progress.
Mexican officials, however, continue
to characterize as local disorders ev
ery insurrection in the country.
Although rebels are now operating
in 18 states, the department o f the in
terior continues to give out news de
nying trouble in a great part of these.
There was a fight at San Pedro, 30
miles from Torreon, in which 27 men
were killed, the majority said to have
been rebels, commanded by Jose Ar-
gumedo.
Such information as is obtainable
from Torreon indicates that for a con
siderable distance to the East and as
far South and West as Durango, the
capital o f the same name, the region
is being raided almost at will by the
rebels.
The government has denied
officially that Guerrero, in Chihuahua,
has fallen into the hands o f rebels.
With the exception o f the six South
ern states where Emiliano Zapata and
Jesus H. Salgado are stubbornly re
sisting the army now waging a war o f
extermination, and with some head
way, the region most seriously men
aced is that in the stat *s of Coahuila
and Durango. Other states in which
rebels are operating are Chihuahua,
Sinaloa, Zacatecas, San Luis Potosi,
Jadisco and Michoacan.
Far South in Tabasco and in the
state o f Vera Cruz there are bands
which appear to be closely connected
with the Zapatista movement.

“ But you must,” persisted Alicia. “ I
won’t stir from here until l have your
promise.”
He looked at her curiously.
“ If my life has no interest for you,
why should you care?” he asked.
There was a note of scorn in hls
voice which aroused his visitor’s
wrath. Crumpling up hls letter In her
hand, she confronted him angrily.
"Shall I tell you why I care?” she
cried. “ Because you accuse me in this

Underwood shrugged hls shoulders.
Cynically he replied:
“ So it wasn’t so much concern for
me as for yourself that brought you
here.’’
Alicia’s eyes flashed as she an

In a way, she felt that he was right.

self. She thought she would try more
conciliatory methods, so, stopping
short, she said more gently:
“ You know my husband has suffered
through the wretched marriage of hls
only son. You know how deeply we
both feel this disgrace, and yet you
would add—”
Underwood laughed mockingly.
“ Why should I consider your hus
band’s feelings?” he cried, “ lie didn’t
consider mine when he married you.”
Suddenly bending
forward,
every
nerve tense, he continued hoarsely:
"Alicia, I tell you I’m desperate. I’m

I’m not able to make a settlement.

Glancing around at the handsome
furnishings, Alicia replied carelessly:
“ I’m not responsible for your wrong
doing. 1 want to protect my friends.
If they ore a lot of sheep, as you say,
that is precisely why 1 should warn
them. They have Implicit confidence

she continued: "You thought you could

you against my will.
Well, you’ve
failed. I will not sanction your rob
bing my friends. I will not allow you
to sell them any more of your high-
priced rubbish, or permit you to cheat
them at cards.”
Underwood listened in silence. He #
stood motionless, watching her Hushed
face as she heaped reproaches on him.
She was practically pronouncing hls
death sentence, yet he could not help
thinking how pretty she looked. When
e had finished he said nothing, but,
going to his desk, he opened a small
drawer and took out a revolver.
Alicia recoiled, frightened.
“ What are you going to do?” she
cried.
Underwood smiled bitterly.
“ Oh, don’t be afraid. I wouldn’t do
It while you are here. In spite of all
you’ve said to me, I still think too
much of you lor that.” Replacing the
pistol in the drawer, he added: “ Alicia,

to the day of your death.”
His visitor looked at him in silence.
