Oregonian is a truly wonderful pro-
duction and puts the west on a par
With the east in newspaper making.
The edition comprises 12s seven-coI-
umn pages of history. current events
and glimpses of the future told in
type and picture-ill illustrations of
what Portland and Oregon have done

monumental newspaper effort and
fitting cap-stone to fifty years of
newspaper building. and the founder
and builder, d. L. Pittock, is still
on the job, hale and hearty, and it
must be sublime satisfaction to
him to look back to his beginning

then upon this great attainment.
The entire vest is under obligations

Nezperce is a pretty good town,
morally speaking as well as other
wise. For instance, it not only has
one of the most largely attended
Sunday schools in the state. but
during period of several weeks
recently our city marshal was kept
indoors nursing a bad wound on his
leg, sustained while he vas remov-
ing the contents of burning house,
and notwithstanding no one vas APP
pointed 10 keep the peace in his
stead, no breach Of the Law was re-
ported nor was any public distur-
bance Of any kind heard of during
his indisposition. And this vas not
a mere ''just happened so" either.
It vas simply continuance of the
natural order of things in Nezperce
which is in every sense a good
town. It is made up of that kind of
citizens.

over 100 were wounded in battle
fought between Sauz and Santa Clara
Canyon, about 50 miles north OF here
according to federal couriers who ar
rived here today. The couriers brought
orders to have the hospital cots ready
for the federal wounded. The fedcr-
ais report FIVE killed, but later devel-
opments may change the figures. A
number of women and children are be-
lieved to be among the killed.
Coming across from Cases Grandes
on their way to Chihuahua with pris-
oners under Gen. Luis Valdez, the fed
erals, followed by about 100 refugees
were attacked
Five hundred insurrectos under Gen
erals Orozco and Villa had been in
structed by Francisco Madero to head
off this Cases Grandes contingent and
if possible capture and release the pris-
oners. The fight occurred on a haci-

sidcration would induce him to lay
down arms.
1T is not family or personal mat
ter, and nothing but the triumph of
our principles will induce us to quit, =
said Senor AIadero.
Railroad officials received kilograms
today stating that the elder Madero's $
special train was due to arrive at Jim
inez at midnight. with the prospect
that it would reach here Monday morn
ing.
The party will be provided with an
other special train on arrival and hur-
ried ont into the interior at point
near Madero's camp.
Railroad officials received instruc-
tions to give every facility for the
movement of the special train.
When the AIaderos leave here they
will have rough road through the
mountains to travel to reach the in
surrccto camp. \ delay may be
caused until the younger Madero is
able to return from a remote part of
the interior and place himself at a
point easily accessible from Chihuahua.
He is now near MADEIRA, the terminus
of the Mexican Northwestern railroad.

The fighting continued for several
hours and resulted in sending north
from here of Gen. Rabago with 500 re-

The. extent of the fight became
known when rderless horses arrived

none OF the prisoners, among whom
are believed to be many Americans,
were wounded and none escaped, al

Great hope for peace is entertained
here because of the prospect of tho ar

l
| Washington, April 17-Details OF an
important movement by Mexican rev
olutionists designed to draw from the
Mexican government some definite ex'
preston with regard to the establish
ment of official peace negotiations be-
came known here today.
1t was learned that by concentrat-
ing almost the entire insurgent army
in the state of Chihuahua under Gen.
eral Francisco I. Madero Jr., in the
vicinity of Juares Mexico, operations
similar to those witnessed at Aqua
Prieta last week and which will fur
ther involve the federal government
concerning the American border, were
incontemplation.
Insurgents in the field have declared
that the delay in the movement
brought about by DR.. Vasquez Comes,
may be fatal and are urging immeda-
ate action. Rebel leaders likewise are
said to have deferred their attack on
Juarez to learn the outcome of his
negotiations.
Insurgents have made representa-
tions to the federal government that
they have force of nearly 5000
men, outnumbering the fedrals gar
rison at Juarez and that the only al
tentative for General Navarro and his
troop is % evacuate y the city. 1t
is not believed here that the Mexican
government viii give General Navar.
no any instructions to abandon his
we'll fortified position in Juarez.

and one of Douglas militia were rush
ed to protect the international line.
(. At $3.50 it was evident that the
rebels repulsed the federal attack
Thirty minutes after the battle open
ed the rebels were seen to abandon
treir position and fall back to the
breast works towards Aqua Prieta.
The federal advance was slow and in
open order with almost continuous fir
ing. Many had fallen on both sides.
Suddenly, for some unexplained rea-
son, the federal machine gune were
silenced. Rebel fire was kept up with
out intermission. 1t was apparent
that the rebel shapsshooters were con.
centrating their fire on the machine
gun operators and were slowly pick
ing them off. Time and again the guns
appeared to be unnamed. At 7:45
o'clock, an hour and quarter after
ire battle opened, the machine guns
were again in acton and were raking
the rebel position on two sides.
Red Cross Volunteers crossed the
border and went upon the field at this
hour Every surgeon in Douglas and
many in Bisbee were being brought to
the line to attend wounded. Women
and girls express their willingness to
act as nurses. 1t was certain that the
list of killed and wounded would be
very heavy.

GREATEST military
PARADE EVER SEEN

San Antonio, April 17-The greatest
military parade ever seen in the Unit
ed States in time of peace will take
place at three o'clock p. m., April 18,
when the entire army in camp at
the military post under command OF
General Carter and Duncan will par
ade through the city of San Antonio
as military unit, equipped III every
detail as for army service during ac-
tual hostilities. Nothing approaching
this in magnitude has ever been seen
in the United States since the days
of the rebellion. The army that will
march through the streets of this city
will be greater in number than the
insurgent forces of Mexico which are
now in an armed dispute in that re-
public. More than $4,000 men. infan-
try, cavalry, artillery, engineers, sig
nal service, hospital corps and noun.
tain batteries will participate in this
demonstration. In every sense of the
word it will be patriotic demonstra-
tion complimentary to the Battle of
Flowers association that each year
celebrates one of the turning points
in the history of Texas-the memor.
able battle of San Jacinto-when the
sturdy pioneers fired by the tune of
an old love song and shouting IRE
member the Alamo. Remember Col
lad" put to route the Mexican army
under Santa Anna and thus forever
made Texas free from foreign rule
1t is estimated that it will require
three hours for this grand review to
pass given point. Governor Col
quit and other state officials, with
those high in military circles, will
review this parade from a stand erect
ed on purpose for this occasion.
