INsURREcTos LOSE HEAVILY.
Attempt to Rescue Prisoners. Ends
In Disaster.

Chihuahua, Mex, April 18.-Forty
or more insurrectos were killed and
more than 100 were wounded in bat
tie fought between Sauze and Santa
Clara canyon, about so miles north of
here, according to Federal couriers
who arrived today. They brought or
ders to have hospital cots ready for
Federal wounded. The Federals re-
port five killed, including probably
women and children.
Marching from Casa Grandes to
Chihuahua with prisoners under gen.
eral Luis Valdez, the Federals, fol-
lowed by about 100 refugees, were at
tackd. Five hundred insurrectos un-
der Generals Orozco and Villa had
been instructed by Francisco Madero
to head off the Casa Grandes contin-
gent and if possible capture and re-
lease the prisoners.
The fight occurred on a hacienda as
the prisoners, shackled together by
ropes, and the women and children re-
fugees, weary from the long tramp,
were scattered in long broken lines.
The federals Immediately responded
with heavy firing and placed the pris-
oners and non-combatants under pro-
lection. The fighting continued sew
eral hours and resulted in sending north
General Rabago with 500 reinforce
ments. First intimation of the fight
was brought here by arrival of rider
less horses. So far as known none of
the prisoners, among whom are be-
lieyed to be many Americans, were
wounded, and none escaped.
Madero, Jr., has been much pleased
with recent events in Mexico City,
which he says have encouraged him
and strengthened insurrecto prospects.
He told the correspondent he would be
glad to welcome his father, but was
emphatic that no sentiment or family
consideration would induce him to lay
down arms.

LOAN FUND EXHAUSTED.
Students at Q. A. c. Must Leave Un-
less They Can Borrow.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis The student loan fund of $500,
given to the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege at the opening of the present
college year by Senator r. A. Booth
of Eugene, for the temporary assist
ance of self-supporting students, is
exhausted. This means that some of
the hardest working and best students
in the institution, both young men and
young women, will have to drop out,
since, with all their struggle to make
their own expenses, they must depend
upon an advance of S. to $75 to tide
them over until they are out and earn
ing, where they can pay it back.
Since the existence Of the fund was
announced large number of petitions
have come to the trustees which upon
careful examination proved to be en-
tirely worthy. The fund, however,
could care for only about half the APP
plications, and hence, unless the fund
is renewed from some source shortly,
number of the students who have
won high grades in their studies while
working their way through, will have
to give up their studies for the rest of
the year.
The student requests brought to
light some interesting facts as to the
courageous endeavor of some of the
Oregon youth to gain special training
in their chosen line. One young man
requested a loan of $25 that his sister
and he may finish the years work
By renting two small rooms and doing
their own housekeeping they have
been able to complete two years of
their course.
One young man who requested assis-
tance made the highest grades of any
student in the institution during the
first semester, in one of the heaviest
and most difficult courses. A young
woman requested loan of SIS in order
that she may be able to get through
the next two months before commence
ment, with careful management.
Since she is earning her own way in
order to gain college education
against her parents wishes, she is
entirely on her own resources.
A senior, who has shown such splen-
did ability that he has been able to
complete the four year course in three
years, has asked for small loan in
order to complete his work with his
class in June. In spite of his neces-
sity for earning all of his expenses,
his work in his studies has been of
excellent grade
Practically 25 per cent of the entire
student body is entirely sefsupport-
ing, 55 per cent are partially depend
ent upon what they can earn; and
only 20 per cent of the whole enroll
ment-most of whom are girls-do
not have to work for the money to pay
their college bills

Taft Plans His Vacation.

Washington - If congress remains
in session through the hot weather,
President Taft probably will become a
pronounced weekend commuter, jour
neying from Washington to Boston
and Beverly whenever he gets an op-
opportunity. The president hopes to
get some sort of a vacation in his new
cottage near Beverly if he has to take
it a few days at time. Mrs. Taft
will go to Beverly late in June. After
Mrs. Taft and the Taft children open
the cottage, the president is expected
to begin his weekend trips.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATE
REPLANT OREGON FORESTS.
o. A, c. to Solve Problem of Con-
tnual Revenue From Timber.


Corvallis, Ore THE solution of the
problem of making the timber lands of
the state continuously remunerative,
which also means the preservation of
the water powers, seems at present to
have been found by the Oregon Agri-
cultural college. When the work in
forestry was separated from that in
botany and made distinct department
under Prof. George w. Peavy and E.
O. Siecke, of the U. S. government
forest service was added to the fac
ulty, the facilities for instruction and
for practical work by the students
were greatly increased, and some i'm
mensely valuable experimental work
in silviculture has since been started
on Mary's peak and elsewhere.
A small forest nursery has been
started on the campus at the south of
the horticultural greenhouses, where
the classes in silviculture have prac-
tical work in growing the young for
est trees to solve reforestation prob
lens. They are taught how to grow
the seedlings, and how to transplant
them successfully, with all the meth
DDS of reforestation in cut-over or
burned-off districts. The Australian
pine, Norway spruce, European larch,
Scotch pine, white pine, Western red
pine, Western red cedar, black locust,
and the Gerald pine, an important
timber pine of India which is of con-
siderable commercial value, all are
being grown in this nursery plot.
On Mary's peak valuable expert
mental work to determine the relative
merit of fall and spring planting of
various kinds of timber was begun last
fall, and is being continued this spring.
ExPerimental plots have been sown,
both fall and spring, to Austrian pine,
Norway spruce, European larch, and
Scotch pine. Careful record will be
kept of the December and March
paintings, through which it is hoped
to obtain information which will prove
which is preferable for the different
varieties.

sHEEPMEN ASKED TO PROTEST
Dan SYmthe Says Change in Sched-
uIe K May Ruin Them.

Pendleton-Da P. Smythe, secre-
tary of the Oregon Woolgrowers' as
sociation, is sending letters and night
letter blanks to 1000 sheep men
throughout the Northwest, urging
them to telegraph Immediately to
Senator'S Bourne and Chamberlain,
protesting against any change in tariff
schedule, and asking that the question
of revision Of the wool tariff not be
considered until at least after tariff
commission reports.
He insists that Western wool grow
ers realize their responsibility and
awake to the realization that any re-
duction in this tariff will mean great
damage to the industry.
He urges also that the sheepmen be
prepared when the tariff commission
calls upon them within the next few
weeks to furnish data on the exact ex-
pense of running their sheep and the
amount of proceeds they receive from
the sale of sheep and wool, showing
that only fair profit is made under
present conditions.

KEEP BULLETS AT HOME.
Mexican Belligerents Notified to Keep
Off American Soil.

Washington, D. C.-President Taft
is determined not only that battles be-
tween Mexican Federals and insurrec-
tos shall not be fought on American
soil, but that future combats must not
be fought out so close to the American
line as to put in jeopardy the lives and
property of Americans.
Through the State department the
president thas notified the Mexican
government that it must see to it that
hereafter no such unfortunate incident
as that at Aqua Prieta, when two
Americans We're killed and II wound
ed, be allowed to occur. Through the
War department and the department
of justice, there were sent similar
warnings to both sides.
The view expressed at the White
house was that these warnings would
be obeyed to the letter.

FEDERALs REPuLsED.
Mexican Rebels Successfully Defend
Their Position.

Douglas, Arizona, April. 18-Oscar
X. Coll, of Tombstone, Arizona, was
shot in the side of the head on Fourth
street, Douglas, by Mexican federal
bullet, during an attack by 200 fede-
rails on the rebel cavalry corrala. Bull
lets struck the residences of Robert
Ray, on Fifth street, and A. W..
War;, secretary of the Y. M. C. A.,
on Eighth street. Coll was only
slightly wounded, the bullet plowing a
furrow in his scalp.
Promising to take Aqua Prieta from
the rebels or leave his dead body on
the field of battle, Ronaldo Diaz,
nephew of the aged president of Mex
leo, led l 900 federal troops to the at
tack on the Mexican adjunct to this
city this morning. Needing the
promise given to Uncle Sam that he
would not fire across the border, Diaz
deployed his men to the westward of
the city, ignoring the cover of a few
TOllluS utllS W LilS SOulu dlId dON dlIS-
ing in the open.
The real action started at $50
O'Clock when a machine gun sneaked
up to within range of the adobe
shacks southwest of the town and
opened a murderous fire.
An English born veteran known as
"Pop" Willis, with five Taramerara
Indians, crept through the mesquit to
within 400 yards of the gun and after
an hours exchange of shots with the
federals silenced them.
A detachment of 200 infantry creep
ing up a gully, suddenly appeared on
the east of the town, and with wild
yell charged to cluster of adobe and
brush barns used as a corral by the
rebel cavalry. The federals all but
gained the shelter of the huts when a
rebel machine gun on the roof of a
nearby house was brought into play
and they were driven back. At least
a dozen federals fell and lay motion
less, while their comrades retreated in
confusion to the shelter of their ditch.

ASYLUM WILL BURN OIL.
Saving of SIS, 900 Year in Fuel to
Be Effected.

Salem-Contract were entered into
between the state board and the Stand
ard Oil company for fuel oil to be
furnished to the Oregon state insane
asylum during the next three years.
The contract is $1.O8 barrel deliv-
cred, f. o. b. Salem. This oil when
used, the board has estimated, will be
equivalent to $3.50 a cord if wood
were used, wood now costing the state
$3.50 a cord. During the three years
the board expects to save SIS, 600 on
this contract alone. Recently oil was
$1.35 delivered in this city, or 81 f..
o. b. Portland the present cost being
80 cents f. 0. b. Portland.
During the three years starting July
l the board expects to use as, 600 bar
rels of fuel oil. The cost of installing
storage tanks and burners at the heat
ing plant at the asylum will be ap-
proximately So, $50, the board conse-
quently expecting to effect net saw
ing of $12,1 $50 on the change from
cordwood to coal oil.
"This plan will also be beneficial
to Salem, said State Treasurer Kay.
"People of Salem are finding difficulty
in securing wood because the institu-
tions use such immense quantities of
it, and frequently wood famines have
resulted. The board hopes to use oil
at the penitentiary later in the year.
