FEDERALS REPULSED.
Mexican Rebels Successfully
Defend
Their Position.
Douglas, Arizona, April. 18 Oscar
K. Colt, of Tom b8 tone, Arizona, was
shot la the side of the head on Fourth
street. Douglas, by a Mexican federal
bullet, during an attack by 200 fede
ral on the rebel cavalry corral. Bui
lets struck the residences of Robert
Ray. on Fifth atreet, and A. W,
Warr. secretary of the Y. M. C A.
on Eighth' street. Goll waa only
slightly wounded, the bullet plowing a
furrow in his scalp.
Promising to take Agua Prieta from
the rebels or leave his dead body on
the field of battle, Ronaldo Diaz,
nephew of the aged president of Mex
ieo, led 1,000 federal troops to the at
tack on the Mexican adjunct to this
city this morning. Heeding the
promise given to Uncle Sam that he
would not fire across the border, Diaz
deployed his men to the westward of
the city, ignoring the cover of a few
rolling hills to the south and advanc
ing in the open.
The real action started at 6:30
o'clock when a machine gua sneaked
up to within range of the adobe
shacks southwest of the town and
opened a murderous fire.
An English born veteran known as
"Pop" Willis, with five Taramerara
Indians, crept through the mesquit to
within 400 yards of the gun and after
an hour's exchange of shot with the
federals silenced them.
A detachment of 200 infantry creep
ing up a gully, suddenly appeared on
the east of the town, and with a wild
yell charged to a cluster of adobe and
brush barns used as a corral by the
rebel cavalry. The federals all but
gained the shelter of the huts when
rebel machine gun on the roof of
nearby house was brought into play
and they were driven back. At least
a dozen federals fell and lay motion
less, while their comrades retreated in
confusion to the shelter of their ditch.
INSURRECTOS LOSE HEAVILY.
Attempt to Rescue Prisoner'
Ends
In Disaster.
Chihuahua, Mex., April 18. Forty
or more insurrectos were killed and
more than 100 were wounded in a bat
tie fought between Sauze and Santa
Clara canyon, about 50 miles north of
here, according to Federal couriers
who arrived today. They brought or
ders to have hospital cots ready for
Federal wounded. The Federals re
port five killed, including probably
women and children.
Marching from Casa Grandes to
Chihuahua with prisoners under gen
eral Luis Valdez, the Federals, fol
lowed by about 100 refugees, were at
tackd. Five hundred insurrectos un
der Generals Orozco and Villa had
been instructed by Francisco Madero
to head off the Casa Grande eontin
gent ana u possible capture and re
lease the prisoners.
The fight occurred on a hacienda as
the prisoners, shackled together by
ropes, and the women and children re
fugees, weary from the long tramp,
were scattered in long broken lines.
The federals immediately responded
with heavy firing and placed the pris
oners and non-combatants under pro
tection, lhe lighting continued sev
eral hours and resulted in sending north
General Rabago with 600 reinforce
ments. First intimation of the fight
was brought here by arrival of rider
less horses. So far as known none of
the prisoners, among whom are be
lieved to be many Americans, were
wounded, and none escaped.
Madero, Jr., has been much pleased
with recent events in Mexico City,
which he says have encouraged him
and strengthened insurrecto prospects.
He told the correspondent he would be
glad to welcome his father, but was
emphatic that no sentiment or family
consideration would induce him to lay
down arms.
Border Must Not Be Crossed.
Washington Major General Leon
ard Wood has telegraphed instructions
to army officers in Texas not to cross
the border under any circumstances.
This explains the use of two civilians
in carrying a message to the Mexican
Federal commander from Colonel
Shunk, commanding the United States
troops at Agua Prieta. General Wood
has telegraphed instructions that if
either the Federal or insurgent troops
of Mexico enter American territory
they are to be disarmed and held and
strict neutrality enforced.
Shopmen Back to Work.
Sacramento The Southern Pacific
company, which three weeks ago laid
off more than 500 men in it Sacra
mento shops, put the shop on five-
days-a-week basis and made other
rule for retrenchment here and at
Roseville, Sparks and Dunsmuir has
issued order that the old rules for a
fix-day week and full eight-hour shift
be again in force, and all of the men
who were laid off are being taken back
on their jobs.
Mexican Held Kidnapper.
7 El Paso, Tex. State Ranger Moore
has arrested a man giving the name of
Ascension Achuleta on charge of
kidnapping. Moore declares the pris
oner is Arricleo Achuleta, a Mexican
rurale and one of the four wanted in
connection with the arrest of Law
rence Converse and Edwin Piatt.
Colonel End Long Trip.
New'York Theodore Roosevelt re
turned home from a seven weeks' tour
of the West and Middle West. A he
stepped off a train from Chicago he
came into contact with a crowd of
outgoing Eastern visitors, many of
whom greeted him with cheer. i
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
LOAN FUND EXHAUSTED.
Student at O. A. C. Must Leave Un
less They Can Borrow.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor-
vallis The student loan fund of $500,
given to the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege at the opening of the present
college year by Senator K. A. Booth
of Eueene. for the temporary assist
anc of self-supporting students, I
exhausted. This mean that some of
the hardest working and beat students
in the institution, both young men and
young women, will have to drop out.
since, with all their struggle to make
their own expenses, they must depend
upon an advance of $5 to $75 to tide
them over until they are out and earn'
Ing, where they can pay it back.
Since the existence of the fund was
announced a large number of petitions
have come to the trustees which upon
careful examination proved to be en
tirely worthy. The fund, however,
could care for only about hair the ap
plications, and hence, unless the fund
is renewed from some source shortly,
a number of the students who have
won high grades in their studies while
working their way through, will have
to give up their studies for the rest of
the year.
The student request brought to
light some interesting facta as to the
courageous endeavor of some of the
Oregon youth to gain special training
in their chosen line. One young man
requested a loan of $25 that his sister
and he may finish the year's work
By renting two small rooms and doing
their own housekeeping they have
been able to complete two years of
their course.
One young man who requested assis
tance made the highest grades oi any
student in the institution during the
first semester, in one of the heaviest
and most difficult courses. A young
woman requested a loan of $5 in orde
that she may be able to get through
the next two months before commence
ment, with careful management.
Since she is earning her own way in
order to gain a college education
against her parents' wishes, she is
entirely on her own resources.
A senior, who has shown such splen
did ability that he has been able to
complete the four year course in three
years, has asked for a small loan in
order to complete his work with his
class in June. In spite of hi neces
sity for earning all of hi expenses,
his work in his studies ha been of
excellent grade
Practically 25 per cent of the entire
student body is entirely sef-support
ing, 55 per cent are partially depend
ent upon what they can earn; and
only 20 per cent of the whole enroll
ment most of whom are girls do
not have to work for the money to pay
their college bills
ASYLUM WILL BURN OIL.
Saving of $15,000 a Year In Fuel to
Be Effected.
Salem Contracts were entered into
between the state board and the Stand'
ard Oil company for fuel oil to be
furnished to the Oregon state insane
asylum during the next three years.
The contract is $1.08 a barrel deliv
ered, f. o. b. Salem. This oil when
used, the board has estimated, will be
equivalent to $3.50 a cord if wood
were used, wood now costing the state
$4.50 a cord. During the tl.r.-e years
the board expects to save $15,000 on
this contract alone. Kecently oil was
$1.35 delivered in this city, or $1 f.
o. b. I'ortland the present cost being
80 cents f. o. b. Portland.
During the three years starting July
the board expects to use 4 a, 000 bar
rels of fuel oil. The cost of installing
storage tanks and burners at the heat
ing plant at the asylum will be ap
proximately $2,850, the board conse'
quently expecting to effect a net sav
ing of $12,150 on the change from
cordwood to coal oil.
'This plan will also be beneficial
to Salem," said State Treasurer Kay
'People of Salem are finding difficulty
in securing wood because the institu
tions use such immense quantities of
t, and frequently wood famines have
resulted. The board hopes to use oil
at the penitentiary later in the year
Institute Plans Made.
Astoria Columbia county will unite
with Clatsop in holding a joint teach
ers institute in this city during the
Centennial celebration and while the
exact dates have not yet been set, the
session will be about September the
first. Heretofore the Clatsop county
Institutes have been held during the
Spring. The program will consist
principally of lectures on subject con
nected with the early history of the
original Oregon country.
Could Not Let Hi Orchard Go.
Central Point Fred H. Hopkins,
who for five year owned the Snowy
Butte orchard and sold it something
over a year ago to John R. Allen of
New York City, ha purchased back at
price exceeding the sale price that
part of the orchard lying east of the
railroad tracks, including the house
and the celebrated section of Winter
Nellis pears, and will return to reside
upon it in the near future.
Plant 16 Acre to Cantaloupe.
Pendleton J. W. Mulr, of Free
water, Is to have the only exclusive
cantaloupe farm In Oregon, if not in
the Northwest. He ha just announc
ed hi intention of planting hi entire
lo acre to the melons, and ha sent to
the Rocky Ford garden in Colorado
for tested seed. Four different varie
ties will be planted.
REPLANT OREGON FORESTS.
O. A. C. to Solve Problem of Con
tinual Revenue From Timber.
Corvalli. Ore. The solution of the
problem of making the timber lands of
the state continuously remunerative,
which also mean the preservation of
the water power, eem at present to
have been found by the Oregon Agrl
cultural college. When the work in
forestry was separated from that
botany and made a distinct department
under rrof George W. I'eavy ana c,
O. Siecke, of the U. S. government
forest service was added to the fac
ultv. the facilities for instruction and
for practical work by the student
were creatlv increased, and to ne im
menselv valuable exDerimental work
in silviculture has since been started
on Mary' peak and elsewhere.
A small forest nuraery has been
started on the campus at the south of
the horticultural greenhouses, where
the classes in silviculture have prac
tical fwork in growing the young for
eat trees to Solve reforestation prob
lem. They are taught how to grow
the seedlings, and how to transplant
them successfuly, with all the meth
ods of reforestation in cut-over or
bumed-off districts. The Australian
pine. Norway spruce, European larch
Scotch pine, white pine. Western red
pine, Western red cedar, black locust.
and the Gerald pine, an important
timber pine of India which is of con
siderable commercial value, all are
being irrown in this nursery plot.
On Mary s peak valuuble experl
mental work to determine the relative
merit of full and spring planting o
various kinds of timber was begun last
fall, and is being continued this spring,
Experimental plots .have been sown,
both fall and spring, to Austrian pine,
Norway spruce, European larch, and
Scotch pine. Careful record will be
kept of the December and March
plantings, through which it is hoped
to obtain information which will prove
which is preferable for the different
varieties.
SMUDGE POTS SAVE FRUIT.
Temperature Sink to 25 Little Los
Over Northwest.
Med ford General firing throughou
the orchards of the Rogue River valley
is saving this year' fruit crop from
the ravages of Jack Frost. In places
the temperature has been a low a 26
degrees, but for short time only,
The orchard men are still on the look
out for frost and fuel in the smudging
pot i kept replenished.
Milton No frost has harmed this
section at any time this season. Fruit
prospect are fine.
La Grande Thank to drop In the
temperature several days ago, no harm
whatever has been done to orchards by
the recent storm; in fact, orchard
men agree that it has helped to retard
the budding. At this time the tree
have not reached a stage of develop
ment that froHta will injure. A can
vase of the fruit districts of the valley
reveals confidence for a big crop.
SHEEPMEN ASKED TO PROTEST
Dan Symthe Says Change in Schad
ule K May Ruin Them.
l enuleton Dan 1'. hmythe, secre
tary of the Oregon Woolgrowers' as.
sociation, is sending letters and night
etter blanks to 1,000 sheep men
throughout the Northwest, urging
them to telegraph immediately to
Senators Bourne and Chamberlain,
protesting against any change in tariff
schedule, and asking that the question
of revision of the wool tariff not he
considered until at least after tariff
commisHion reports.
He inHists that Western wool grow
ers realize their responsibility and
awake to the realization that any re
duction in this tanir will mean great
damage to the industry.
He urges also that the sheepmen be
prepared when the tariff commission
calls upon them within the next few
weeks to furnish data on the exact ex
pense of running their sheep and the
amount of proceeds they receive from
the sale of sheep and wool, showing
that only a fair profit is made under
present conditions.
Record Price tor Livestock.
Portland last Friday paid the record
price for cattle of 'all descriptions,
r or fancy grain-fed stock from La
Grande $7 per hundred pounds was se
cured, while a lot of hay-fed stock
from Central Oregon went at $6.90.
These transactions were the hiirhext
price ever received in this market for
thia time of the year. The hav-fed
lot wa the first shipment to come out
of Central Oregon over the new Harri-
man line. It was sent from Gateway.
Excursion to Ruse Festival.
From St. Paul and Minneapolis will
come a Pullman excursion to the Rose
estiva), personally conducted. The
train will he run over the Northern
Pacific and North Bank roads, arriv
ing in I'ortland the second day of the
big carnival. This will be the first
excursion from the Mississippi and
Missouri valley and will arouse con
siderable interest all along the route.
Make War on Weeds.
Hood Rlverr No more noxious
weed for the Apple City, la the edict
of Mayor Hartwig, who ha called the
attention of the city council to the
tate law relative to the matter. The
mayor ha decided that this law must
be enforced.

Mexican Belligerent Notifiald to Keep
Off American Soil.
Washington, D. C President Taft
la determined not only that battle be
tween Mexican Federal and insurrec
tos shall not be fought on American
soil, but that future combat must not
be fought out so close to the American
line a to put in jeopardy the lives and
property of Americans.
Through the state department the
president thus notified the Mex Iran
governent that it must see to it that
hereafter no such unfortunate incident
as that at Agua I'rietn, when two
Americans were killed and 1 1 wound
ed, be allowed to occur. .Through the
War department anil the department
of justice, there were sent similar
warnings to both side.
The view expressed at the White
house was that these warnings would
be obeyed to the letter.
