the Mexican Border
MEXICANS COME INTO l). S.
woe to the Mexicans if they themselves
start any thing.
I am talking o f the real conditions.
One sees nothing alarming. Soldiers
are camped at many places but we are
uesJ to this and understand it is for the
mural effect upon the Mexicans and
also for the confidence it creates, just
as one likes to know that a good dog
in the yard is an insurance against
sneakthieves and causes one to sleep
better—if doggy does not bark.

Conditions on the Mexican border
leading up to the present crisis are set
forth in the following, which is a por
tion o f a letter received by Miss Her-
mione Hawkins, a music teacher at the
University o f Oregon, who is visiting
one o f her pupils. Miss Leta Mast o f
this city, from her father, J. M. Hawk
ins o f El l'aso, Texas.
Talking o f heat, eight thousand folks
including myself walked for one hour
in the flag day preparedness parade.
Nobody had a fan, nor umbrella, though
200 women were in line. Nobody mind
ed the heat. Forty thousand lined the
streets. Line formed in front o f this
house. Ashton [Mr, Hawkins’ brother]
headed the railway section.
Wore
western garb, brown shirt, cowboy hat
and g o lf stockings, and was as proud
o f the work as a kid. I was in this sec
tion by adoption but palm beach suit
was none too cool for me.
Everybody
was too proud to ride in autos, so horses
and machines were not in the line. Mil
lionaires. merchants, laborers and all
were mixed side by side and real dem
ocracy was in evidence.
El Paso has
good reason for favoring preparedness.
There were more people in line, than
any other city has had in proportion
to population. There were no soldiers
in the line, as this was a civilian parade.
Mayor and all the marshals walked.
Everyone carried a flag. Civil and mil-'
itary bands, a dozen, gave the music.
Great enthusiasm prevailed.
A t night 2500 troops gave all sorts o f
stunts at Washington park for military
sick fund and fifteen thousand folks
paid from 50 cents to *1 for admission.
It was a fine show, a battle, with guns,
Babers, cannon, cavalry attacks, res
cues, midnight raid on a tented force,
then fireworks. Yesterday a dozen au
to cycles swept by the house loaded
with soldiers rushing to threatened
trouble on the line above town; a false
alarm. Antagonistic meetings in Juar
ez and wild stories caused all soldiers
and officers on leave to be summoned to
the fort last night and held in readiness
for trouble. Cars ceased going to Juar
ez in night, but operate today. Will
not run tonight. Riots in Juarez were
feared and sympathetic disorder on this
side. An attack is not feared and the
soldiers propose to take care o f the
Mexican side o f the town, asking citi
zens to keep out o f it.
Several thousand Mexicans have come
in by freight trains this week to Juar
ez, from idle industrial centers down in
Mexico, searching for work and we are
admitting them by hundreds as fast as
railways can give them work or take
them to harvest fields in the middle
west, excluding the sick and paupers.
They are lined up by hundreds on the
other side. All broke and hungry. A
more terrible condition than ever before
exists in Mexico and the military lead
ers and bandits tell the people it is the
presence of our soldiers that causes it
all and meetings are being held to stir
up hate against us. But the meetings
sometimes denounce the bankrupt gov
ernment and iis worthless money; also
the merchants who are charged with
exorbitant prices.
Ruin, ruin, ruin. Nothing but inter
vention can save Mexico and because
we would have to save them against
the will o f some of them, Wilson will
not. He does not know the facts. He
is blind as to Mexican nature and traits.
He believes everybody on the border has
an axe to grind in Mexico. Almost
everyday somebody on the other side
takes a shot at some American near
the river, from behind some cover.
Raids o f small character occur now and
then in thinly populated regions and
these you read about. We have big
cannon here and yet yesterday an ar
tillery company was brought in from
the camp at Columbus. Was sent there
to go into Mexico to join the Pershing
army camped at Cases Grandes, which
Carranza demands that we take out.
Bringing them to El Paso means the
General here thinks they would be
a good thing to have in case cannon
in Jo«rez should turn on El Paso. But
El Paso is not excited, feeling full con
fidence in protection. Military authori-
ies say that El Paso is as safe as Chica
g o —officials at the fort say that and I
fully believe no danger o f local clash
exists. But this is so only because we
are prepared. Without the army and
the determined, self reliant Texan spir
it, that is ready to fight if attacked, we
would have trouble all the time. The
people here have no disposition to hurt
the Mexicans nor to raid the Mexican
end o f town. If they started to do so
citizens and soldiers would stop it, but

DATE OF CELEBRATION SET
August 2 4 , 2 5, 2 6, Chosen
by Joint Committee
August 24, 25 and 26 has been defin
itely decided upon as the date for the
railroad celebration to be held on Coos
Bay. The joint committee o f Marsh
field and North Bend have received def
inite information from Chief Engineer
William Hood regarding the completion
o f the Willamette Pacific bridge across
the Umpqua, which states that it will
be ready for traffic by the middle of
August. By setting the date near the
end o f the month the committee has al
lowed for any possible delay.
The three days o f the celebration
have been apportioned between the two
bay towns and the county at large.
Thursday August 24, to be North Bend
day, Friday, Coos county, and Saturday
Marshfield.
The business men o f Portland are
planning on taking this opportunity to
visit Coos county and are coming in
great numbers.
A hundred Salem Cherrians expect to
be here and there will be many come
from all the important Willamette val
ley and Southern Oregon towns includ
ing Eugene, Ashland, Medford, Grants
Pass and others.
Special trains with sleepers will be
provided to attend to the unusual traffic
according to Southern Pacific officials,
and adequate accommodations will not
be lacking.
