Hious factions continued military
maneuvers in the vicinity of Tor

CITY OF n
Recent Architecture Marks
Place Where 2 Armies
Now Converging
WASHINGTON, Mar. 14.
(AP) Torreon, haven of Mexi
can revolutionists and the goal
ot federal forces, today was de
scribed by officials of the Nation
al Geographic society as a city of
startling similarities to "many a
city ot the American west" a
town that grew up like a mush
room after two railways crossed
on Its site some forty years ago
Its growth also was speeded by
the great Mexican Laguna cotton
district developing at Its doorstep
"In contrast to most of the im
portant towns ot Mexico." geo
graphic officials said, "Torreon
has no evidences ot age no
churches built by the padreas who
followed Cortes, no solid forts or
dwelling houses dating back, to
the eonquistadores."
Surrounding geographical fea
tures, according to the -descrip
tion, are decidedly in favor of the
rebels holding the city. It is in
the midst of a hilly region, the
rough, hilly desert country begin
ning close to the south of - the
town a natural barrier to the
troops ot General Calles, pressing
northward through the state ot
acatecas.
At one edge of the city flows
the Mazas river, which is often a
sizeable stream.
Torreon is always a strategic
center in Mexican revolutions, it
was explained, "since It is a rail
wsy junction of consequence, and
lies midway between Mexico City
and important border gateways.
To the northwest lie Juares and
El Paso, and to the northeast Por
firio Diss aad Eagle - Pass.
Through Monterrey to the east,
railway lines connect with Laredo
and Matamoroa."
While no reports have been re-
ceired here, there is no doubt that
the mining industry has been hard
hit in the rich northwestern states
where -the disturbance now la cen
tered. Banks In cities occupied
by rebels have been heavy losers
through confiscation.

Entire Garrison
By The Associated Press
The Drobabilltv of a new bor
der battle, this time south of Ari
zona, appeafed Thursday night
while the larger and more cum
bersome central armies were mov
ing nearer together in the state
of Coahuila. Movement ot the
bulk of the rebel garrison from
Noe&les.-Sonora. lent weight to a
statement by General Francisco
Borquez that the rebels were
about to attack Naco. .
Success in this maneuver would
not only remove a federal thorn
which has weakened the rebel ad
vance forces by holding reserves
in the extreme north, but would
exact vengeance for the recent de
fection from their caupe of. Gen
eral Loachea. This general, whom
they had believed one 0 them.
had seized Naco in the name of
the federal government with the
1,000 Indians ot his command.

of the rebel General I Jesus M.
Aguirre were - executed " after a
court-martial at Vera Cruz. '- The
others were given prison sentenc
es. All had surrendered .to fed
eral forces at Achotal.

Special Levies for Schools
to Stand, in Opinion of
Gov. Patterson
Millage taxes previously voted
for the institutions ot higher
learning In Oregon are not ef
fected by consolidation of funds
into one "Jack pot" under the
Bell-Schulmerlch blllr In the opin
ion of Governor Patterson and
State Treasurer Kay, two mem
bers of the state tax commission.
Secretary of State Hoss is ab
sent from the city and Earl Fish
er, state tax commissioner, not
having , considered , the measure
from that angle, would not express
an opinion on the point which has
been raised touching upon the val
idity of the special millage taxes
outside the six per cent limit under
the operation of the consolidated
funds.
"Millage Stands", Paterson
- "The special millage taxes are
not repealed under the Bell-Schulmerlch
bill but are merely trans
ferred into one fund under the
Jurisdiction of one board Instead
of three as formerly and I am
sure that any court that was asked
to pass upon the point would so
hold." Governor Patterson aeciar-
ed when asked for bis view ot the
situation.
State Treasurer Kay is Just as
positive as is the governor that
the special millage levies xor me
state Institutions or higner learn
ing remain in force under the con
solidation program.
"The authorisation voted by
the people for the special millages
outside of the six per cent limit
still stands," Kay points out. "The
legislature has merely crested a
new board to administer the
fund."
