DESPÍSTATE FIGHT AT PARRAL Rebels Capture City But Are Driv en Out by Federáis. El Paso, Tex. — Desperate fighting in an attack on Parral, Chihuahua, entailing a heavy loss of life in a 50- hour battle, was reported in belated dispatches reaching here late Wednes day. Some 1500 constitutionalistas, rebelling against Huerta’s national government in Chihuahua, were driven back by almost an equal number of federal regulars, and the city, center of American mining and industrial in terests, was demolished by bombard ment and street fighting, in which even the townspeople engaged. The ex-insurrecto troops, who re belled against the Huerta government and left Parral last week after mobil izing and recruiting at Santa Barbara, nearby, returned on March 5 to retake the city. One thousand federáis from Chihuahua City had reinforced the 200 regulars at Parral. On the afternoon of the 6th insur gents attacked and the battle contin ued until the evening of the 7th. On the morning of the last day the rebels took the fortified hills 'surrounding the city, driving the federáis to cover in the town. Colonel Mercado, the garrison com- mander, and Colonel Castro, who had brought him the reinforcements from the state capital, called for volunteers to retake the outlying positions. Five hundred men responded and after charges and almost hand-to-hand fight ing drove the insurgents from the hills. Then the constitutionalistas concen trated their fire on the south section of the town, driving the city officials from their houses and causing great loss of life to the residents. At night the insurgents withdrew. During the fighting mobs of townspeople rioted, burning the market place and attack ing the banks. Volleys from the sold iers soon quieted the internal disturb ances. _______________ WILSON IS CANADA’S FRIEND Bryce Says Countries Will Become More Intimate Than Ever. Montreal — A talk which James Bryce had last week with President Woodrow Wilson revealed the Ameri can executive as friendly in attitude to a marked degree toward Canada, the British ambassador to the United States told the Canadian club in a recent address. This led him to the belief, he said, that the relations be tween the two countries in the future probably would be more intimate than before. Continuing his discussion of the fu ture of Canada Mr. Bryce declared that the politics of this country and Great Britain should always be kept apart in water-tight compartments. He concluded by pointing out that the fact that the United States and Can ada could live next door to one another without arming against one another was a lesson against countries provid ing themselves with armaments on a large scale.

Salem—State printing legislation of the session just ci'osed is practically summed up in the house bill 422, which provides for placing the state printing under the authority of the state board of control, the bill to go into effect January 1, 1915. The Abbott bill to repeal the flat salary law of 1911 was vetoed and that bill is also in effect at the same date. The bill to abolish the office of the state printing expert, which passed, was also vetoed by the gover nor, the flat salary veto being sustain ed and the printing expert veto being filed after final adjournment. House bill 422 in Its amended and final form is as follows; “ Section 1. The governor, secre tary of state and state treasurer, act ing as the board of control, is hereby given full authority and control over all public printing of the state of Oregon, and may make such rules and regulations as in their judgment shall be necessary for carrying out the pur poses of this act. “ Section 2. The board shall ap point a state printer, who shall serve during the pleasure of the board, and who shall receive an annual salary of $1800, paid as the salaries of other state officers are paid. He shall per form such duties as may be provided by law or prescribed by the board. “ Section 3. All ‘copy’ for state printing shall be submitted to the board for its approval. All ‘copy’ ap proved by the board for printing shall be submitted as far as practicable in the usual manner of advertising for bids and with a view of securing the best possible terms for the state. “ Section 4. Chapter 266 of the General Laws of Oregon for 1911, and sections 2675, 2676, 2677, 2679, 2680, 2681, 2682, 2683, 2684, 2685, 2686, 2687, 2689, 2690, 2691, 2692, 2693, 2694, 2695, 2696, 2679, 2698, 2699, 2700, 2071, 2702, 2703, 2704, of Lord’s Oregon Laws and all acts or parts of acts in conflict herewith are hereby repealed. “ Section 5. This act shall take ef fect and be in full force from and af ter January 1, 1915.” Hood River—The first definite ac tion toward an amalgamation of the shipping interests of the Hood River Apple districts took place here recent ly, when an assembly of about 35 citi zens composed of the directors of the different marketing organizations, bankers and representative growers adopted a resolution instructing the boards of directors of the different shipping concerns to meet and formu late the most feasible plan of an amal gamation of shipping agencies. According to the trend of sentiment the combination of the different or ganizations will not be a mere co operation but an amalgamation in fact with but one set of directors. How ever some, although they are at pres ent in the minority, argue that ship ping concerns of the district should keep their individuality and that the movement of the co-operation should go no further than the formation of a selling agency to cover the valley dis trict, just as the selling agency of the Northwestern distributors who recently organized at Spokane shall cover the Northwestern fruit districts. While Hood River dealers are prob ably more optimistic than the market men of other districts, their territory being more limited than that of the Washington districts and their vari eties meeting with less competition in the Eastern markets, the heavy apple crop of excellent grade fruit in the’At- lantic Coast and Middle Western "ap ple-producing sections has had a dis astrous result on the market this year as compared with former years and the market men assert that the com bination plan, whatever course it may take, is the only salvation for the dis trict’s future. k letcher obinson (o -Z iu /A o s m '/A /¡ .

"You wouldn’t go shouting all over the house If you were let Into a secret—now, would you ?*’ "Oh no, sir; on my word I wouldn’t " And so Peace told him of the pro jected arrest, of the murder, and of his own Identity. The color faded of the door, or to see who went and came I walked over to the fireplace, lit a cigarette, and watched them, my nerves growing steadier In the merry clatter of tongues. They were all there, the men and women of that careless house-party, all there—save one who lay silent wherever they had laid him. Half an hour had slipped by, until, at last, with an effort, I walked to the table and threw down two sovereigns on the red. It won, and I laughed at the mel ancholy omen; not, perhaps, without an odd note in my voice, for the man over whose shoulder I leaned to gath er my winnings glanced up with a startled expression. It was young Terry, the secretary; the very person I wanted to see. "Anything the matter, Mr. Phil lips?’’ he asked. “You’re not looking very well.” “Don’t worry about me,” I told him. “But I want a word with you in pri vate.” “Certainly—Just one moment.” He had been winning heavily, and It took him some time to crowd the bank notes Into his pockets. A sover eign slipped from his fingers and roll ed under the table as he roee; but he paid no attention to It. “I have something to tell you. Can you come up to my room?” I asked him. He hesitated, looking regretfully at the table, where Fortune had been so kind to him. “It happens to be rather Important,” I said. He followed me without another fiercely away, so I thought It beet ta let him get over it himself. He was still lying on the thick quilt, sobbing and shivering, when the door opened and Peace stepped Into the room. 1 explained the situation In a hurried whisper; but when I turned again Terry had got to hla feet and wai watching us, clinging to the bedpost "This Is Inspector Addington Peace,” I told him. "Perhaps you can give him some information?” Not tonight," he cried, “don’t ask me tonight, gentlemen. You cannot tell what th is means to me; tomor row, perhaps------ He dropped down upon the bed, covering his face with hia hands. He seemed a helpless sort ot creature, and my heart went out to him in his calamity. "A night's rest Is what you want,” I said, patting him on the shoulder. “Come, let me give you an arm.” He took It at once, with a grateful glance, and I led him down the cor ridor, with Peace In sympathetic at tendance. Fortunately, his room was In the same wing, so we had not far to go. When we reached It, he thank ed us for our care of him. And so we left him, returning to my bedroom In silence, for, Indeed, the scene had been a painful one, "Peace,” I said, when the door had closed behind us, "what was the thing I saw In the yew walk?” He had seated himself In an easy- chalr, and was polishing the bowl of a well-stained meerschaum pipe with a silk pocket handkerchief. “I think you already have an ex-, planatlon,” he answered cheerfully. “If It amuses you to sneer at my superstition----- " “You refer to the legend of the de Launes. I have heard the story be fore, Mr. Phillips; nor am I surprised that you believed It to be the ghost wolf.” "I did—but now I want you to dis prove It.” "On the contrary, all my evidence supports your theory.” I stared at him, with a creeping horror In my blood. I was beginning to be afraid—seriously afraid.
