El Paso, Deo. 20. 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.
In a secret session ot Villa and
Carranta officials here with United
States authorities, peace proposals
market 500,000,000 teet more than P forward yesterday. These

' "With the coming 'back ot lumber
all the basic industries ot the pa
cific northwest are running on
sound and prosperous conditions.
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. This haa . here by Carrania he will be regarded
been a yea of fairly prosperous con- las an alien enemy and interned
for the orchard Industry,
A STRONG ORGANIZATION.
The coming of R. B. 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. One of them looks as
though it was made by the smoke
stacks of a sugar factory and another
one is undoubtedly caused by rails,
ties and equipment tor a railroad to
salt water. k

PORTLAND SUFFERS FROM
A VIOLENT WIND STORM
All the mines and torpedoes that
damaged the Ford peace ship on its
way through European waters came
from on ship-board. There are more
explosives on the Oscar II than can
be found on many a warship.
Portland. Dec. 20. Wire com

, THE LUMBERING INDUSTRY.
The revival of the lumbering in
dustry, which has been most quiet
for a number of years, will have an
immediate influence upon tne pro
gress and prosperity of southern Ore
gon. The following from tbd edi
torial columns of the Spokane
Spokesman Review will therefore be
read with Interest throughout this
section:
" 'You can not be too optimistic
about the future of the lumber In
dustry of the Inland Empire,' said
Vice-President and Manager A. L
Flewelllng of the Milwaukee Inland
company, a large owner of timber
lands in the Pacific northwest.
"The lumber Industry has swung

The administration .refusal to en

CENTER OF INTEREST
AT HOT SPRINGS, VA,
(By United Press Leased Wire.)
Hot Springs, Va., Dec. 20. Though
apparently happily oblivious of sur
roundings, President and Mrs. Wil
son constituted the center ot the
winter colony's eager interest today.
Wealthy New Yorkers, wintering
here, anxiously awaited the "debut"
of tbo honey mooners.
The president and his bride took
breakfast In their private suite, as
they did all ot Sunday's meals.
Outside, the clear crisp air spoke
a tempting Invitation to take a turn
at the golf links. The couple's
plans, however, called only for an
auto rldo In the mountains during the
afternoon. .
Thus far public business has not
Intruded to mar the Joy of the pre
sidential honeymoon. During tbe
forenoon the president answered con
gratulations that hsvo poured in up
on him In an unending stream. He
also had a short session with his
private stenographer, Chsrles Swem,
over routine matters.
The executive, however, Is pre
pared to keep in closest touch with
International affairs, for he has s
private telephone line over which he
can talk with Secretary of State
Lansing or Secretary Tumulty over
state affairs at a moment's doiIco.
The Washington officials are In
structed to keep him posted on any
developments requiring his Imme
diate attention.
The movie theaters of Ssn Fran
cisco, Chicago, New York, Boston and
elsewhere will not get a chance to
show pictures of the presidential
honeymooners, as the president re
mains. adamant against requests tbst
they be permitted to snap 'him. A
veritable army of the movie operators
is on hand to get some views, but
the secret service men guarding the
president are prepared1 to smash their
cameras if necessary to save the chief
executive from, annoyance.

' New York, Dee. 20. The British,
have abandoned for tbe present their
Intention of reaching Constantinople
by tbe way ot the Galllpoll peninsula.
The western side ot that territory
has beeu surrendered to the Turks, ;
but this does not mean that the Brit
jlsh have deserted the peninsula en-
On the other hand, the invaders
have retained the southern section,
which Is the most Important. Appar
ently only defense Is contemplated In
the future. '
The withdrawals announced by
Indou today are an official ad in Is
stun that the German leadership ot
the Turks has been victorious and
that British direction ot the campaign
In that region has been faulty, The
shift comes too late, however, to
change the situation In the Balkans,
for tho Urltlah and French already
I have withdrawn from Serbia, and
'Germany has stamped her Iron heel
.upon that country.
! If the British had been withdrawn
from the Peninsula when the Ger
'mans Invaded Serbia, they might
I have saved Macedonia.
I Now It Is not certain thnt they will
go to the Balkans. If they do, It
wilt mean that Ixndon fears a Teu

On the other hand, It Is equally pos
