EI. PASO. July It.' A battle, still raging at last reports, opened at Sombrereto, Durango, today with t I'arranzistu. attack on a illista col umn Garcia is leading the Carran tiatai and Generals Contreras and Paliso are heading the rebels Fol lowing this official news from Tre vlno came unconfirmed rumors that the Villistas had captured Genera! gnado EnrUiuez, whom Obregon sent 10 relieve Trevino. The Carranzista garrison at Parral followed up yesterday's victory over th, Villistas, pursuing and overtaking the bandits at Sombrereto. Garcia requested reinforcements, hoping to annihilate the Villistas.

A feature of the question brought out last evening was mat the board of regents of the Monmouth normal school, recognizing the need of more normal instruction, were planning some sort of action themselves Just what form the action would have ta ken is not known but the board is said to be committed against the policy of schools in small towns. At the session last evening Chair man J. N, Burgess presided and some enthusiastic talks were made by a number present. Judge S. A. Lowell brought forth applause by a ringing talk in which he pointed out the meritorious nature of the measure and called on all Pendleton to unite in putting the "real Pendleton spirit" back of the campaign. A talk expressing similar sentiments nas made by Mayor James A. Best (,im1 Teaching Service. In response to inquiries on the sub ject last evening. A. C. Hampton, for mer city superintendent. declared that pupils enrolled n training school classes at a normal receive a better grade of teaching than is usually to be had even in a well conducted city school- This because each student teacher Is supervised by a critic teacher and the aim Is to have the teaching along model lines Only nor ma) seniors are allowed to teach.

A Fee, Jr.. this morning served a formal request up on the local management of the Pa cefic Telephone A Telegraph Co.. and upon the Pacific Power A Light Co. to remove their poles and overhead wlrea from Main street His action was in conformance with a motion passed by the city council at the sea sion a week ago. The suggestion that the telephone company be made to remove ita polea on Main street was made at the coun cil meeting by Mayor Beat after he had criticized the company for refus ing to contribute what he considered a reasonable amount toward the fi nancing of the Fourth of July cele bration. Councilman Phelps express ed the sentiment that the telephone company should not be singled out for attack when the electric company also maintained poles and wires on Main street. His motion, which waa carried, included both companies In the event that the telephone company complies with the request It will probably mean that the entire system south of the river will be re built, an end that patrons have long and patiently awaited. The removal of the poles from Main street would doubtless mean the mstallatlon of n cable line on Cottonwood and Garden streets with service stations feeding off them. It is reported that the company has already mad.- an esti mate for the installation of these ca bles and for rebuilding the plant but there la no indication that the offi cials have any intention of Immedi ately executing their plans unless de mand is made upon them. Pendleton la said to have one of the most obsolete and run-down tele phone plant- in the northwest and theer is little doubt that it has long outlived lta time. As an Indication of the bad service that results from the poor equipment and out-of-date methods. It is said that tfl telephones in the city were out or service from eight to 24 hours du.-:ng the last wind storm Many patrons will testify that they expect as a mater of course from long experience that they will be de prived of telephone service after every wind storm of any consequence. There is also much complaint of the long delays before service is secured after application. Some patrons have had to wait nearly three weeks before they could secure the Installation of a telephone and many have had to wait j a week. It is generally understood I that the fault is not with the local ! management but with the lack of fa j cllities for taking care of these new applications. One subscriber recently , found it necessary to appeal to tho : public service commission before he I could get action on his application. I Being a business man who hud fre quent need of a telephone at home, jhe experienced considerable Inconven ience through the delay of the com j party. There is complaint. t,io. that the company maintains wires on West Webb street much lower than the franchise provides. Complaints of the service in the city have grown so general that they are the rule and many blame the op erators and other employes tor what should be charged to the BOOT equip ment. Since the cable line was run 1 on the north side there has been littla complaint there There Is a pretty I strong sentiment that the city counel'. should be supported by an insistent demand from the citizens for earlv ! action. While the telephone company mam tains poles and wires on one side o .Main street, the electric company use J the other side for 11 tea purposes and the attractiveness of the street WOBlO. nor he enhanced by the removal ct the one line and the retention of tht other with its ugly intersection hang ing arcs, other parts of the electric plant are reported to be out-of-date, too. and the action of the council doubtless presages improvements 111 both telephone and Ughi systems TO HELP STAMP House Appropriations Committee En dorses McAdoo's Request in Fighting Infantile Disease.
