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.

The young man glanced at the pow

And so Peace told him of the pro

lit a cigarette, and watched them, my
nerves growing steadier In the merry
clatter of tongues. They were all

careless house-party, all there—save
one who lay silent wherever they had

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.

an odd note in my voice, for the man

It took him some time to crowd the

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

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
