SERIES OF CONFERENCES
COMES TO CLOSE TO-DAY

With today's sessions a series of con-
ferences between the officials OF the ac-
counting department of the Oregon Short
Line and station agents from Utah,
Idaho and Wyoming will close. These
conferences have been unique I'm their
character in that they are the first of
the kind ever held by the Oregon Short
Line.
Meetings OF traffic and operating de-
par,ment representatives TO discuss mat
ters pertaining TO their respective de-
partments are frequent. but accounting
department matters always have been
handled through correspondence, circulars
and travelling representatives.
e. j. McNitt, auditor, conceived the
idea that a conference between represen-
tativcs of the accounting department and
station agents, at which the more i'm
portant features OF accounts and matters
pertaining thereto would be discussed
would be beneficial 10 all concerned. and
his wisdom in this respect is conceded by
all who have taken part In the meet
ings.
The arrangement provided for four sin
gle day sessions. beginning with Tues
day. November .. ten different agents re-
porting each day. The agents were en-
tertaIned at the Commercial club for
luncheon traffic department officials par
ticipating, and al theatcr parties at tho
Orpheun in the evening.

$50 to 400 in number. They may be
merely moving their hunting grounds into
the Sierra Madre mountains. however,
and their action Is not thought to be
connected with the rebellion.
The cause for the strict examination
by the Mexican government OF all pack
ages received by mining companies has
been revealed in an official report by
General Hernandez of the recent fight at
OrlZaba. in the state of Vera Cruz which
states that dynamite bombs were thrown
by the rebels into the barracks of the
government troops. These were crudcly
constructed. however. and did not eN-

ALTHY MEXICAN IS
ALLIED WITH REBELS
Adherent of Insurgents Insists
That They Are Stronger
Than Represented.

Ell PASO, Tex, Dec. s.-Jose San
chez Alvnrez, former prominent mine
and land owner at Parral, Mexico, now
a lieutenant colonel in the Instruction
ary army in Mexico, here last night
on secret business. talked readily of the
trouble in his country and did not mind
having his name used, so confident was
he of lnsnrgent success.
'EOf course. we don't know whether
we Will win,' he said. EBut many OF
US prefer to die rather than to lose:
You are not getting the truth out OF
Mexico, nor have you any idea of what
is going on We have between 7OOU
and 5000 men in arms, all through Chi:
huahua. They are the same kind OF
men OF which the rural police are made
good fighting men Our sharpshooteI
servlce is as good as any.
Politically we want the Americans 10
know that we believe them our friends
and the action of all our troops VII!
bear out that statement. If the United
States would promise to oversee fail
election as it did in Cuba, we would
throw down our arms at once, That
is al we want. We could take the city
of Chihuahua if we wanted it, but we
could not hold it long at present.
Could Tie up Railroads.
"Also we could tie up the National
Railways Of Mexico, but we don I want
to do that, either. While it is called the
National Railways. it is owned by
Americans, and we don't want any
Americans helping the Mexican govern
ment. AS long as we keep our hands of
American property, we will be left te
fight our OWE battles, we hope.
"We arc sorry that Alberto Terraza:
has been appointed governor of Chi
hua hlIa Sanchez was butlpr be
tween two forces, Terrazas is not.
There will be fighting there soon
Our men are mostly still on theil
ranches. but all are armed. We are hav
ing little trouble procuring arms from
the states. 1t is very easy
The colonel of insurgents smiled q
little.
The colonel declared that troops re
ported AS marching from Sonora tc
Chihuahua would never reach their des
tination He said the insurrectionist
would slaughter them in the mountains
