General Villa land his revolution are all in, down and out. The once victorious "Pancho" is ready to seek an asylum with the United States and quit his struggle against Carrania.

Good prices have prevailed for sev eral years for the products ot the gression against the Carrania regime, according to information today. Washington, Dec, 20. The state department advised border officials today not to prevent General Villa from entering the United States, as he Is reported wanting to do. Asked today if the United States govern ment would honor a request for the extradition of Villa, Secretary of State Lansing replied: "America does not extradite political refugees." If Villa tries to enter as a private cltUen after surrendering his com mand, he Nwlll J treated as an or dinary immigrant. It he Is driven farm and stock ranch.

Miller into the Coast railroad organization proves that the Twohys are building upon a broad-guage plan. They are bring ing into the departments ot the com pany the very best ability to be found in the northwest, men who measure up in their special lines Just as do the Twohys measure up as organisers and contracting builders. From the Milwaukee line the firm brought En gineer MacVlcar, and his special duty Is to find the route for the" new road. Aa locating engineer for the Mil waukee when U made Its way west ward through Idaho and Washing ton Mr. MacVlcar established his position, and It was natural that he was the choice of the Coast line people when they sought talent to meet and overcome the engineering problems between Grants Pass and the sea. Now the announcement that Mr. Miller is to be connected with the new road ia ot much more than passing interest He is one of the foremost traffic men of the coast, and certainly he will be satisfied with nothing short of big things for a road to which he lends his name and gives tils abiUty. '' The organization, which the Twohy Brothers company Is building up around the road that Grants Pass started can mean only success In big way for the under taking. It waa a fortunate day for this metropolis of the Rogue when the Twohy name came Into its local affairs. iitlons Mining has been wonderfully pros perous during 1915. Now lumber picks up and lumbermen, who have carried heavy burdens with fine courage and patience, are enthusias tic over realization ot long-deferred expectations." CRYSTALLIZED STEEL CAUSE OP BRIDGE COLLAPSE The Santa Claua that is headed to ward Grants Pass has a number ot suspicious looking humps In his sack ot gifts.
