Roreburg - - Denouncing the single tax as unfair and detrimental to the best interests o f farmers, the mem bers o f Douglas County Grange in ses sion here voted to wage an open fight against the measure in every section o f the county. The Grangers also went on record disapproving o f bond issues planned to bring about better roads or other public improvements, which funds, they declared, should be raised through the levying o f special taxes. The Dougins County Grange also is opposed to the present system of county grange election o f delegates to the state grange convention and will present a resolution at the next meet ing o f the state grange advocating the representation of subordinate granges, o f which there are 20 in Douglas county. Delegates to the state grange which will meet in Roseburg in May were elected as follows: J. T. Redifer, Drain; Edwin Weaver, Myrtle Creek; F. A. Goff, Melrose; E. N. Howard, Stephens, and O. C. Brown, Dixon- ville. The Douglas County delega tion was instructed to indorse C. E. Spencer, o f Oregon City, for master, and T. L. Lee, o f Looking Glass, for In overseer. Hood R iver— With every indication pointing to the biggest crop of apples by far that the Hood River valley ever had, the Growers' union, individual shippers and merchants are making active preparations for an increased local storage capacity to handle the fruit, which present estimates place at upwards o f 1,000,000 boxes. With work begun and plans under way, the storage plants of the community will have their capacity greatly enlarged before the fall harvest begins. “ While we will make no definite plans until after the annual meeting o f the stockholders here in A p ril,” says C. H. Sproat, manager o f the local union, “ we propose to make a great increase in our storage ware houses.” The union made the pur chase last year o f a number o f lots adjoining the present storage and re frigerating plant. The present capa city o f the union building is 40,000 boxes. It is hoped that at the meet ing a strong concerted action will be made to increase this capacity to sev eral hundred thousand boxes.

Hood River— Since the westbound trains filled with homeseekers have been passing through Hood River the past week, about ten families have stopped to make this valley their fu ture home. A significant fact about newcomers this year is that all seem to have made definite plans before leaving their Eastern homes. Many have relatives who have al ready secured places for them. Fri day a family with ten children arrived from Missouri. The children w ill as sist in raising strawberries. The colonists do not linger long in the city, but strike straight for the communities they have chosen for home spots in the country. The class o f homeseekers coming this year is es pecially gratifyin g to Hood River peo ple.

Portland — Simultaneous with the news that Governor West had released the fund appropriated at the last leg islature for the Oregon immigration fund, C. I. Chapman, secretary o f the Oregon Development league, and man ager of the promotion bureau o f the Portland Commercial club, was noti Red o f his appointment on the Oregon Immigration board to succeed Leroy Park, who has resigned. “ The release o f the $12,000 o f the immigration fund now available,” says Mr. Chapman, “ will enable us to produce, for the first time, a booklet advertising the state o f Oregon, back ed by the authority and the seal o f the state o f Oregon, and for that reason should have more weight with home seekers in the East than any advertis ing matter issued by any private or ganization or by a corporation. One- fifth o f the fund will be utilized for establishing a statistical bureau, something that the state has never before maintained. This will be un der the management of the Oregon Agricultural College, with which the immigration board will co-operate in every way possible in preparing the development booklet which will be published with the remainder o f the fund.

El Paso, Tex.— Word was received 1 here that General Pancho Villa, the federal leader in the Laguna district ' of Mexico, had been captured by reb- 1 els and ordered shot and that a severe battle was fought at Gomez Palacio a week ago. Twenty-two hundred fore igners in the Laguna district are said to be trying to escape from the coun try. News o f the battle was brought in by three refugee Americans, the van guard o f the French, German and other foreigners fleeing from Mexico. Thirty-eight federal soldiers and ten rebels were killed in the fighting, it was reported. The engagement w b s not decisive. Torreon and Gomez Palacio, a large railroad station, are connected by streetcar. The latter was and is still in the hands of the so- called liberals, or rebels, while the former is controlled by the govern ment troops. Pablo Lavine, a supposed federal officer, was discovered to have been taking rifles and ammunition from Torreon to Gomez Palacio, and it was determined to attack Gomez Palacio at once. A force o f 2,000 federal volunteers was assembled for the pur pose. The federal regulars, number ing 1,800 men, declared that they were loyal to Madero, but that they would not leave the city to the danger from looters. The volunteer army was met on the outskirts o f Gomez Palacio and thousands o f shots were fired. The volunteers then retreated back to Torreon. The report o f the capture of Gen eral Pancho V illa came in a telegram from General Orozco to General Ponce at Juarez. The telegram repeated a report wheih Orozco had received from General Salazar at the front that Colo nel Salazar, a semi-independent lead er, killed, wounded or captured a por tion o f V illa ’s small force and said that he had overtaken and captured Villa and 29 o f his men, with 29,000 pesos. Villa was said to have offered to join the liberal movement, in reply to which Orozco, according to his tele gram, ordered him shot. Orozco and V illa were personal enemies. Villa, like Orozco, was one o f Fran cisco I. Madero’s trusted leaders in the revolution against President Diaz. When the present revolt started his attitude was a matter of speculation for some time. Both sides claimed him. Three weeks ago he declared himself loyal to his old chief, Madero.

She hesitated before replying, then Indifferently sho said: “ Yes, I knew him at one time. H# Introduced me to my husband.” “ Where was that?” “ In New Haven, Conn." "Up at the college, eh? How long have you known Mr. Underwood?" Annie looked at her Inquisitor and said nothing. She wondered what ho was driving at, what importance the question had to the case. Finally sho said: “ I met him once or twice up at New Haven, hut I ’ve never seen him slnco my marriage to Mr. Jeffries. My hus band and he were not very good friends. That is— ” She stopped, realizing that she had made u mistake. Huw foolish she had been! The police, of course, were anxious to show that there was 111 feeling betwten the two men. Her heart misgave her as she saw the look of satisfaction In tho captain's face. "A h !" he exclaimed. “ Not very good friends, eh? In fact, your hus band didn't like him, did he?" "He didn’t like him well enough to run after him,” she replied hesitat ingly. The captain now started off In an other direction. "Was your husband ever Jealous of Underwood ?" By this time Annie had grown sus picious of every question. She was on her guard. "Jealous? What do you mean? No, he was not Jealous. There was never any reason. 1 refuse to answer any more questions.” The captain rose and began to pace the floor. “ There’s one little thing mors, Mrs. Jeffries, and then you can go. You can help your husband by helping us. I want to put one more question ta you and be careful to answer truth fully. Did you call at these rooms last night to see Mr. Underwood?” " I ! ” exclaimed Annie with mingled astonishment and indignation. “ Of course not.” "Sure?” demanded the captain, eye ing her narrowly. "Positive," said Annie firmly. The captain looked puzzled. "A woman called here last night to see him,” he said thoughtfully, "and I thought that perhaps—” Interrupting himself, he went quick ly to the door of the apartment and called to some one who was waiting In the corridor outside. A boy about 18 years of age, In the livery of an elevator attendant, entered the room The captain pointed to Annie. “ Is that the lady?” The boy looked carefully, and then shook his head. “ Don’t think so—no, sir. The other lady was a great swell.” "You’re sure, eh?" said the captain. “ I think so," answered the boy. “ Do you remember the name she gave?” "No, Blr,” replied the boy. "Ever since you asked me— ” Annie arose and moved toward the door. She had no time to waste there. Every moment now was pre cious. She must get legal assistance at once. Turning to Capt. Clinton, she said; “ If you’ve no further use for ms, captain, I think 1 11 go.” “ Just one moment, Mrs. Jeffries,” he said. The face of the elevator boy sud denly brightened up. "That's it," he said eagerly. "That's It—Jeffries. I think that was the name she gave, sir.” "W ho?" demanded the captain. Annie sat timidly on a chair In the background and the captain turned again to the doctor. ‘‘What's that you were saying, doc tor?" ‘‘You tell me the man confessed?"
