can in'Ohrhuahua a. re believed to
be hurrying toward the Iborder to
cacape VillisU reprisals for the de
feat innioted on the bandits by the
American expedition Into Juarez.
The u umber of Americans In Chi
huahua la estimated at more than
100, exclusive of the 'Mormon set
tlor In the Caaaa Grande dlntrlc.
While Vt I lists sympathizers here
assert that the rebels would hardly
further endanger the success of
Ihnir revolutionary movement by In-
- creasing American opposition
through the massacres, many
mining companies have ordered their
American employes to come out of
northern Mexico at once. Carran
alma troop tiave been sent to .1'ar
ral. an Important mining center, to
protect 'Amerfc-ana there. United
Stales citizens In out-of-the-way
places were directed to go to Chihua
hua City, Torreon and other guard
ed center. As the railway south of
Juaret has been put out of commis
sion by the -bandits, some Americana
may hare difficulty In reaching the
border.
Business men of Kl Paso received
telegram from Congressman Hud-
iieth of Texas, asserting the acting
secretary of state "warned Ameri
cans had better get out when they
' could and -whore tliey could not,
wo in a nave to stirrer the conse
quence."
To prevent Villa venting bis hat
red by attack on Isolated border
town, garrison "were reinforced
and border patrol strengthened.
Monday' fighting, whleh cost the
Uvea of two American oldier and
woundlrlg of ten, baa put the entire
border force on Its mettle. Bandits
attempting to raid lAmoiioan town
and ranches -will be given a warm
reception. It Is likely that any such
raiding parties will hepursued into

IN NORTHEAST OREGON
Portland, Ore., June 19. Farm
work, as a rule, was up to the aver
age for the season In Oregon last
week, although some complaint was
received of the scarcity of labor, ac
cording to the weekly summary of
weather asd crop conditions 1n the
state. Issued by the weather bureau
here. .
The week was characterised by
unusually cool weather for the sec
ond decade of June, particularly In
northeastern counties where killing
frosts were experienced that check
ed the growth of vegetation and
caused considerable Injury to staple
crops . which were Just recovering
'from the effect of previous freezing
weather. Beneficial showers occur
red, but they were mostly confined
to coast counties and he W.Mamette
valley: elsewhere in non-Irrigated
districts rain Is badly needed.' The
sunshine was generally adequate but
low temperature retarded vegetation.

APPRECIATES SERVICE
The Courier baa Just received the
following letter of appreciation from
Orton E. Goodwin, publicity director
of tbe iMethodist Centenary drive in
Oregon: . .
"There were three big outstanding
points In the Klamath (District in
the Methodist Centenary, they were
iRoeeburg, Grants Pass and Medford.
In each of those towns the campaign
swung easily to ubcesB.
"I don't know" whether the Meth
odist leaders will agree with me or
not, but I think, that the vast amount
of, publicity which the newspaper
gave to the campaign wa& a very po
tent factor.
A quota of $11,000 for Grants
Pass was comparatively .high.'. It
was raised comparatively easy. . In
my mind I am absolutely convinced
that the preliminary barrage of this
success was laid by the marked
amount of publicity given to the
campaign by the Courier.
"In severing my connection with
the Centenary, I did not want to do
so until I had expressed to you a
very warm appreciation of your ef
forts." : . .
