Joins Villa’ s Ranks
Gen. Luis Herrera, until re­
cently Carranza's military gov­
ernor of Chihuahua, has renounc­
ed Carranza and joined the Villa
forces and taking with him 2,000
troops.
From 1913 to 1915 Gen. Luis
Herrera was one of Villa’s bri­
gade commanders. He with his
brother, Maclovio Herrera raised
a brigade in southern Chuahua
that gained much prominence in
Villa’s early campaigns. After
the death of Maclovio Herrera,
and the subsequent reverses of
Villa, Gen. Luis Herrera deserted
and joined Carranza. The peons
in this section are loyal to Villa,
which accounted for his ability
to successfully withstand Porfiro
Diaz’s rurales for eight years.
It is feared that more of Car­
ranza’s troops will follow.

are constantly advising trade of advances, as an in­

per dozen wholesale. Our price is yet $1 per pair.
You can readily see as soon as we have to rebuy
what the price would have to be. Leather is also
advancing. We will adhere to old prices as long as
possible, but higher prices late are unevitable.

subject of necessity of wholesale
expenditures advocated in enlarg­

$175,000,000.
‘‘Army and navy officials have

CINNABAR VEIN IS FOUND
Sutherlin, Or-, March 22. —A
rich vein of Cinnabar ore has
been discovered in the upper end
of Sutherlin Valley, and near the
vein followed by the old Non­
pareil Mining Company more
than 40 years ago. The new vein
is said bv local mining authorities
to greatly exceed in richness the
ore of the abandoned mine.
Samples have been forwarded
to assayers in San Francisco.
An effort will be made by local
people to bring in outside mining
interests. Little difficulty is ex­
pected in opening up the new
mine, since quicksilver is report­
ed to have advanced to 10 times
its value betore the war.

cause of refusal to salute the flag.
Hubert Eaves, a negro, 11 years
old, was expelled from the public
school of this city and sentenced
to nine years in the El Dora re­
formatory.
The order was issued by Dis­
trict Judge Dudley. The court
suspended sentence and paroled
the boy to his parents on their
promise that he would be placed
in a private school where educa­
tion demanded by the Iowa sta­
tutes is given.
Hubert, a member of the so-
called ‘‘Sanctified Cult,” refused
to repeat the oath of allegiance
