reformed and advanced in pursuit of their original intention to gain the boundary, marking the movement with heavy firing. The rebels made confident by their early success, re- turned gallantly to the encounter after they had been employed in the interval in the erection of trenches. The advance guard of federals now consisted of fifty cavalrymen and 300 infantry. Behind them was the sup porting force under protection of trees and bushes. The federals re- served their fire but from the rebel trenches came an unceasing stream of bullets. The federals again found the strength and determination of the foe too great and retreated in good order firing as they left and leaving two machine guns in possession of the enemy.
 From the beginning of the battle regardless of warnings rain of bull lets poured into Douglas and when the day was over seven non-combat- ants were wounded.
 When the battle began Colonel Wil- liam shunk had his troops to the line and kept citizens out of the sup posed danger zone. This did not avail to save the Americans from injury.
 There is every indication that the battle will be resumed tomorrow morning. If the federals are success ful it means battle on the streets of Agua Prieta with increasing men ace to the citizens of Douglas.

 Department
President Taft and Advisers Believe Congress Should
 Act at Once
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
 WASHINGTON, D. C., April IT, President Taft said he felt tonight that he had done all he could to con trol the situation on the Mexican border. He and his advisors believe that congress must say whether the situation is grave enough for inter vention and its consequences. Through the state department the administra- tion has played its last card and it is reiterated in 10 uncertain fashion that affairs like that at Douglas last week will not be repeated The de- partment has asked for assurances that no more fighting to endanger Americans be allowed and only a few hours after the second demand was announced came dispatches showing a second battle on.
 The President is plainly worried. Taft has told his callers that he does not contemplate a special message to congress. No one here doubts that in-. tervention will mean war and rage for probably years. The topography of Mexico means many things to over come The federals and insurreetos might join against the United States and dissipate the good feelings which it has taken years of diplomacy to eraata bafxaan tha Tinted Sfafas and the Latin American countries

Belisario Garcia gained the American line and surrendered. He said he did So as an individual and not as com mander of the rebel forces. His sur render for a time gave rise to the cry that the rebels had surrendered Colonel Shunk said at o'clock that judging from the present positions of the forces, intermittent firing at least will be kept up all night.
 The federals by using mounted men succeeded in getting large force to within 400 yards of Agus Prieta by nightfan. Two and three men were on each horse and the driver then re- turned for more. From a ravine they opened fire on the city and the bullets tore through walls, windows and roofs The rebels were awaiting an onslaught from the bull pen on every corner.
 In the night battle the federals used three pound field piece, sta tioned to the southeast of the town, and began hanunering with shells. An explosion at e:S0 o'clock which shook the town is believed to have ~~-~~-Cc~-c~~C-c~-~ -c~-~-~-c-o-~-~-~---~-~-~-O-~

LIGHT QUESTION
 WORRIES EUFAULA'

Eufaula, February Special. )- while the council is having the matter of municipal electric plant investi- gated citizens are debating the ques- tion of the disposition of the gas plant. This plant is owned by a foreign cor- poration and is a distinction which but few cities the size of Eufaufa can boast. It is believed that in the event the city maintains an electric light plant the owners of the gas plant could Ill afford to maintain theirs. The con- yenience Of the later plant not only as to lights but in the matter of heat ing and cooking is conceded to be in- dispensable. The best course to pursue in the matter is a question that is re- quiring much thoughtful consideration.
 The members of the Eufaula Rihes are surveying the field with view of election captain of the company some time soon. after the regular inspection, which will be held fon March 6.

keeps 20 cows and he estimates that the manure alone pays the expense of all labor in operating the dairy farm. He bought his land 15 years ago for less than s5 an acre. Now it Is worth s75 per acre. He ships his milk, butter test, to Chat tanooga, more than 35 miles, and gets 50 cents per gallon.
 He gays that 20 cows will produce a net profit of $50. to say nothing of the in- creased fertility of soil by reason of tho grazing of the cattle.
 The pamphlet contains number of ad- ditional letters from men who have made a success of the business, and have dem onstrated that dairying in these two states may be made most profitable.
 Proximity to market claims but little consideration. Indeed, 1t Is argued that the best results may be obtained 50 or even 100 miles from large cities. Better sanitary conditions may be maintained, and then lands are cheaper.
