INDULGING HIS CURIOSITY WAR SEEMS INEVITABLE T'Vu.pntlv the Mexican situation is somewhat ovei ripe and is ready for picking. One of Carran.a's gen-j erals, Alfreda Ricault, in command at Matamoras, the! Mexican town opposite Brownsville, Texas, has issued j his ultimatum to General james ranter m conuanu at Brownsville. He notifies him that unless the Anderson punitive expedition which recently crossed the holder in pursuit of raiders, was withdrawn that he would at Icick it If he keeps his word he will spill a very large kettle of Mexican frijoles, otherwise beans. It looks us though war was certain within a few days, for the Mexico ns are daily getting more arrogant, and this last "ultimatum" is about the limit. It is an announcement that hereafter American troops cannot pursue bandits who raid American ranches, across the border. As the Carranza forces make no effort to either stop these raids or arrest or hinder the raiders after their return, it amounts to a nouneauon uuu me Mexican government stands behind and indorses the raid ing of this country by its ragamuffin bandits. At the same time the United States wisely refrains from striking the first blow and if war comes the Mexi cans will have no one but themselves to blame for the trouble. . It will be some job to finally quiet Mexico, not because she is strong which she isn't, but on account of her wide area of wild mountain country, an ideal location for guerilla warfare, which may be kept up some time. As for conquering the regular armies that is a bag':.nelle, for they are little more than a mob. Should war come it is probable the first move will be to blockade all Mexican ports, thus shutting the country off from any possible source of war supplies, and as there are no munition plants worthy of the name the supply of ammunition will soon be exhausted. It is pitiful to contemplate the misery that will be brought upon the ignorant peons, already almost in a starving condition, and who absolutely ignorant of the , strength of the United States are led to believe by their superiors that they can easily conquer mis ammij anu that the "gringoes" will not fight. There is no hope of reaching any peace in that hot bed of anarchy, for that is what Mexico of today is. There is no real government, and no hopes of there being one un less the United States takes charge, puts an end to banditry, and helps the people to help themselves by again establishing a real government. This being the case the sooner the job is begun the quicker it will be ended. The progressives who stood so heroically back of Roosevelt at Chicago, and who were so cold-bloodedly betrayed bv him, will not be greatly encouraged to return to the republican fold when they see the man who be trayed them welcomed into and made much of by Hughes and his campaign managers. Perkins, the "Angel" of the progressives, it now appears, was "pussy-tooting all the time, with the intent to along with Roosevelt, betray his friends, for he too is the honored friend of the repub lican leaders. Self respecting progressives will hesitate long before admitting they are a commodity owned by Roosevelt, that can be sold and delivered to whomsoever lie chooses. Portland having lost a thousand cords of wood comes to the front with the statement that she has lost SCO gal lons of gasoline. This indicates that Portland is a good loser, or a least a large sized one. However gasoline is coming down in price, and if the city can stave ofl the certainty of loss for a few weeks she will not be so heavy a loser w hen the loss is brought home to her. At Eltopia, Washington, Saturday, the mercury climbed to 10(. This was the record for the recent warm spell. As the original name of the place was "Hell to pay", it would seem those who named it guessed right the first time. Uncle Sam has a great deal of curiosity. No sooner was the steamer Bear wrecked than a dozen or more of ficials got busy in order to discover who and what was to blame for the wreck. No doubt there will be a series of enlightening statements from these petty officials; each finding a sufficient reason, and legitimate excuse for it. One will perhaps discover the Bear was too close to the shore, and point out that had she staid further out she would not have struck the rocks. Another will find the shore protruded too far into the ocean and demon strate that had the shore been straight, and had not stuck a point of rocks out so far in the way of shipping that the Bear would not have struck them. One has already blamed it on the fog which lured the vessel in toward the shore; and another will discover that the compass was not working right perhaps and so the man at the wheel was steering southwest when he should have steered south by east. Still another will learnedly demonstrate that the rocks were too close to the surface of the water, and that had they been covered :J0 feet or more the Bear would have passed over them unharmed. He may also point out that 1 he ocean was too shallow, or suggest the Bear dvew too much water, and that had she been of only fifteen feet draft instead of 25 she would not have struck. These are only suggestions of what may be found to be the cause of the wreck, but they illustrate the universal rule in such cases which is that the officials discover nothing, or at least fail to make any real discovery public. The fact that the Bear was far out of her course will cut no ice with the probers. Since striking, the waves have caused a shoal around the vessel, and at low tide one can walk dry shod from the shore to the boat. From this it is presumed that had she not struck the rocks she would have gone ashore anyway at some point near. : STATE NEWS I it Deschutes Valley Tribune: The de posit (if silica near Culver covers a hi rn' areaaiul this is located only about three miles from the railroad sta tion. Tests havi' shown til it it is very pure. The deposit is loeatei! so that it may be easily mined and a large quan tity could he tinned out daily by a smalll force 0f men. In the refining process it is probable that much gold would be obtained, us tests have shown that it contains quite an amount of free gold. When a small chunk of it is pul verized and panned out, many colors are obtained. From the tests made thus far, the iudieat ions are that the gold would at bant pay for the mining, milling and handling, and the fnet that the deposit lies so near the railroad olds greatly to its commercial value. Mrs. Madeline Astor, widow of John Jacob Astor the fourth, is to marry again, this time William K. Dick, of Brooklyn, vice president of the Manufacturer's Trust Company, By her marriage she forfeits the income from $3,000,000 which was left her by John Jacob so long as she remained his widow. As her husband to be is several times a millionaire and she has $8,000,000 the price Astor paid for her in a prenuptial arrangement, and on top of this her young son has $:5,000,000 in his own right she is not likely to suffer any material hardship on account of giving up her income as stated.
