MORS RAILROAD RUMORS.
A meat report tbat there were
railroad rumors in the air concerning
the construction of a line down the
Rogue and erer the divide to the
Coos Bay country from Grants Pass
calls the following from the Gold
Beach Reporter: .
"The report no doubt originated
from the recent incorporation of the
Oregon Logging Railroad, a $100,
000 incorporation which A. Mereen,
of the Smith-Powers company, one of
the incorporators, says will extend
the present railroad further into the
timber 14 known that the
company is extending its operations
back into the timber toward Eckley,
where it has large holdings, and also
toward Rogue rirer. This extension
west is what gar Port Oxford hopes
of securing the railroad down 81xes
rirer, and has caused them to push
the project of building a through
wagon road up Sixes, which Is now
being surveyed and will doubtless be
built within the next year, as there
are several extensive mines, as well
aa ranches, op the river, which are
at a disadvantage at present owing
to lack of adequate transportation.
Such ' a road would also help out
business in Port Orford, making the
whole Sixee river country tributary
to that place.
"The Coqullle. Sentinel, however,
sees in this report from Grants Pass
a likelihood that the S. P. will build
to and develop the coal fields of the
Squaw basin of the Coqullle, and may
extend its railroad further, even to
making the Coqullle line a starter for
the extension down tbe coast toward
Eureka.
"It may also be added that parties
recently arriving on Rogue from
Powers report that work is in pro
gress now looking toward the exten
sion of the road further into the tim
ber up the Coqullle, possibly eight or
ten miles."

No other continent has auch a play
ground as our own. It haa long been
suspected that if the current of travel
was eVer directed towards Its won
ders it would never diminish. Per
sons now living may see the time
when European tourists will come to
scenic America in swarms as great aa
those in which American tourists up
to 1915 have been going to scenic
Europe. St. Louie Post-Dispatch.
AUTO DRIVER THROWN
INTO BARB WIRE FENCE
Santa Rosa, Cal.. May 15. His
lower jaw almost ripped away, A. E.
Briggs, of Heaidsburg, was in a pre
carious condition in the hospital here
today, following an automobile acci
dent on the state highway near San
Rafael.
With Conway Hall. Briggs was
speeding to catch a train at San Ra
fael when he suddenly came upon a
drove of horses in the road. His
efforts to swerve the car and dodge
the horses resulted in bis being hurl
ed from his seat headlong into a
barbed wire fence. One of the jagged
strands cut through his cheek, gash
ed his throat from ear to ear and
became entangled in the muscles of
his face and neck to he was left hang
ing on the fence until the wire was
snapped. After tbe wire had been
taken from his Jaw 37 stitches were
necessary to sew up his wounds.

PER-
EUROPE'S TOURIST LOSS
MANENT.
We all know what the temporary
loss to Europe bas been In tourist
trade diverted on account of the war.
A thousand and one evidences of it
were given in the trans-Mississippi
country last year.
Now Fred F. Harvey, caterer of
celebrity to the traveling public, tells
us tbat this loss to Europe is perma
nent He has Just returned with vivid im
pressions from the western states,
over which a flood of pleasure seek
ers spread In late months, and reports
that the volume of traffic during the
coming season may be as great or
even greater.
With the eastern tourists shunted
off from their customary trip to Eu
rope, it has been a case of seeing Is
believing. They have obtained an ap
preciation of the scenic assets of our
western country which no amount of
topographical description or academic
generalization could convey. Thous
ands of summer homes have been pur
chased or built In this section by
Americans, chiefly residents of the
east, Mr. Harvey says, Hundreds of
ranches have been acquired by them
as outing places. New resort cen
ters are planned for their entertaln
. tnent and preparations are made for
looking more systematically then ever
WRECKAGE CAST UPON
BEACH POINTS TO DISASTER
Jloquiam, Wash., May 15. The
mystery of wreckage thrown upon the
beach near here remained unsolved
today. Several pieces of crated furni
ture, a trunk of clothing, and pieces
of the rail of a ship have been found
thus far.
People along the beach said today
that great clouds of smoke were seen
on tbe horizon early last week. Some
with glasses said they made out the
masts of a sailing ship from which
the smoke apparently was coming.
No ship haa been shipwrecked and
seamen are searching shipping re
cords in hopes of guessing the Iden
tity of the supposed wreck. There
was nothing on the wreckage cast
up on the beach by which tbe ship
could be identified.

Roger bad been knighted tor bis

Smith outlined Casemect's capture.
He reverted to the knight's activities
in Germany and his endeavors to
wean Imprisoned soldiers away from
the cause of tbe allies.
Casement smiled at that and wrote
on a pad on which ne was taking
notes: "Rgey did so at their own request."
Smith asserted that the vast ma
jority of the Irish captives treated
Casement's overtures with contempt.
whereupon they were punished snd
their rations reduced.
"A few, unfortunately," he said,
"were seduced, Including Daniel
Bailey.'
Premier Asquith has gone to Bel

tbe revolution at close range. Some
newspapera said bis visit was con
nected with a proposal either to dis
arm the Irish factions or Incorporate
them In an auxiliary to the British
army. The Dally News said that
the nationalists were ready to disarm

Field Headquarters American Ex
pedition, near Namtqulpa. Mex., May
4 (via Motor Truck to Columbus,
N. M.. May 15). Pancho Villa was
shot by tbe youthful brother of a girl
he attempted to assault, according to
the latest version of the wounding of
the bandit. A former Vllllsta officer
told the story here today, asserting
the details came from the girl's fam
ily and neighbors.
The boy was beaten to death by
Villa's men at the bandit leader's
command to "kill him." Villa had
long maintained his respect for wo
men. Many stories are told In Mex
ico of officers executed by the bandit
because they attacked young girls.
Villa forfeited this redeeming vir
tue, however, while marching to at
tack Columbus, when he kidnaped
the 12-year-old daughter of Juan
Arrleta, foreman of a big ranch at
Bachlneva. The girl was carried
away to San Geronlmo and kept a
roboratlng the charge of Casement prisoner for nearly a week. She was
having seduced Imprisoned Irish sol- in a serious condition when Villa re
dlers in Germany, and showing that j leased her and again moved north-
wara wiin ois column, iter miner,
who killed Jose Gutierrez, has sworn
to devote tbe remainder of his life
to hunting Villa down.
Retreating from Columbus, Villa,
and his band arrived at Guerrero on
the morning of March 2$, according
to the ntory told here. When his j
headquarters were settled, Villa rode j
throngh the city, appraising the wo
men he saw. As he passed the home !
of Arrieta's family, he espied Carmlta, I
12 years old, standing near the door.
Villa slid from his horse and grasped j
the girl around the waist, smother-1
Ing her shrieks 'with kisses. The
girl's brother, a youth of 18, rushed I
at the bandit. Villa released the girl,
but too late; the boy shot from the .
hip, hitting Villa In the right le. '
just above the ankle, and In the right '
thigh. Two more bullets whizzed !
the submarine in which Casement,
Bailey and others went to Ireland
was the U-l 9. Police Inspector Park
er, the first witness, testified that
Casement had not attempted to spare
himself when arrested, but had In
sisted that Bailey was Innocent.
John Robinson, an Irish prisoner
exchanged from a German camp, tes
tified tbat Casement offered 300
Irishmen in his ramp $50 each to de
sert. Casement came to court from the
Tower of London In a taxlcab. He
was heavily guarded. A crowd
surged around the tribunal demand
ing admittance. Two women were
in line at 1 a. m. By six a. m. the
mob was also unmanageable. The
police gave hot coffee to women
standing in line.
Robinson testified that fifty Irish
men accepted Casement's overtures 'harmlessly past the bandit's head.
and enlisted in the German army.
John Cronin, an exchanged prison
er, swore that Germany promised to
transport these deserters to America
In the event of a German defeat.
It was observed that Casement's
shoes were without laces. This is a
precautionary measure to prevent
him from committing suicide,
GERMANY IS BEATEN, HAV8
JIM HILL'S HON-IN-LAW
Now York, May 15. Germany Is
beaten and the end of the war Is near,
according to Samuel 11111, son-in-law
of James J. Hill, the railroad mag
nate, today, upon his return from a
record seven-day trip from Liverpool,
London and Havre to the headquar
ters of King Albert of Belgium and
the Dunkirk front.
"Germany can not struggle against
the overwhelming financial strain and
economic conditions,' said Hill.
"There will not be another winter
campaign and peace will come as sud
drnly as the war broke out. The
French are eating only sufficient food
to sustain their health. King Albert
is confident that Belgium will soon be
restored.' '
Then, as the girl fled to her mother, j
the youth threw the smoking weapon 1
