Armed Rebel Guard Posted at Con
ference in Juarez
Juarez—Tweny-five Americans, in
eluding American Consul Edwards,
were held in the office o f the Mexican
Northwestern railway here for nearly
two hours while an armed guard of
rebels prevented them from leaving
the building.
Rebel officials had become angered
at the officers o f the Mexican North
western over a $6000 check payable to
the rebels as export duty on a con
signment o f gold ore by the American
Smelting & Refining company in Chi
huahua. The shipment had arrived in
El Paso, but when the rebels attempt
ed to cash the $6000 check, the banks
in El PaBO refused payment. A fter
the check was given, the Federals had
entered Chihuahua City and it is be-
leved that the American Smelting &
Refining company stopped payment on
it, knowing that the rebels, because
o f their retreat, would be unable to
trouble them further.
Consul Edwards went to the North
western offices to confer with H. C.
Ferris, general manager o f the road,
Thomas Ryan, traffic manager, and C.
T. Carson, general auditor.
The offi
cials were in conference at 6 o'clock
when they suddenly found the doors of
the building surrounded by armed men.
Consul Edwards telephoned
for
Colonel Pascual Orozco, Sr., head of
the garrison, who arrived in a few
minutes and ordered the guards to re
lease all minor employes. The officers
o f the road were held. A fter a brief
conference the American consul left,
but the railroad officials were closeted
with Orozco until 7 o ’clock, when
they were released and crossed to the
American side. It was said they had
agreed to make the check good.

Portland— Robert Nerdrum and Hy-
alte Nerdrum, young Norwegians who
are interested in the Coos Bay Pulp &
Paper company, o f Marshfield, have
been at the Multnomah hotel for sev
eral days awaiting the arrival o f their
wives from Norway.
Hyalte Nerdrum, in speaking o f
this new industry at Coos Bay, said:
" I t will be a year before we begin
the manufacture o f wood pulp, as it
takes that long to complete the build
ings o f reinforced concrete, and in
stall the machinery.
The machinery
will largely be manufactured in this
country but some parts will come
from Europe.
“ The process o f separating the
wood fiber in this country is known as
the soda process, while we are to use
the sulphate of soda process.
“ We are jointly interested in the
enterprise with the C. A. Smith Lum
ber company and our raw material
will consist o f the refuse from the
mill o f that company, which is now
destroyed.
“ Our ultimate plan is to operate a
paper mill at Coos Bay, but this will
not be attempted at preset.”

imperious.
The apology veiled a command.
Stanton halted.
“ Madam?” he responded, astonished
and scarcely pleased.
She deliberately stepped down be
side him, accompanied by the crisp
sound of shaken silk and a drift of
faint, rich fragrance.
She wore a
dark motor-veil, and in the mingling
'of dense shadows and glaring lights it
was not possible to distinguish more
than her general effect of youth and
well-poised grace.
“ I fancied by your costume that you
were one of the racers,” she explained.
"And as I only arrived an hour ago,
I wished to beg some information."
" I am one of the men driving," he
corroborated.
She turned to glance at the cars
rushing by, struggling for the lead
"Thank you.
Can you tell me
whether Ralph Stanton is now driving
the Mercury?"
“ No," he answered, interested for
the first time. "But he will take the
wheel again in half an hour.”
“ Ah? I have heard so much of his
spectacular feats, I,” she gave a care
less, rippling laugh, “ I confess I
should like to see some of them.”
“ Yes? Well, half the people hers

won’t take a chance once too often.
They say there is a pleasant thrill I d

“ Hardly that,” she demurred. “ Still,
if one comes to an automobile race,
one wants to see something more ex
citing than a drive in the park; some
thing more exciting than— that.” She
waved a fragile hand toward the
track, shrugging her shoulders with
an airy amusement and scorn.
Stanton surveyed the scene, th4
darkness hiding his expression.
“ The Mercury is marking time with
a substitute driver, the Duplex is off
with a choked feed-pipe, and the Stern

up. “ The others are driving to win
