cent Call indication Of
Prosperity

MOTT, n. D., Dec. 16.-There is no
more accurate criterion of general
prosperity both in the city and on the
farm than the growth Of bank de.
posits. The Mott banks deposits may
lie I taken as indicative of general con-
ditions throughout the county. The
statements made by the various banks
OF the city on November rs, pursu-
ant to the call of the ststG depart
.nent, shows a total of approximately
$3.50. 900. 90. the highWater mark in the
history of local banking, and a big
increase over last year.
One of the most encouraging
features of banking growth, accord
ing to leading bankers, is the fact that
the county bankers Of North Dakota
ere carrying their accounts in the
cities of North Dakota, rather than in
the eastern cities.
The above marks the showing made
on Nov. &c, 1912, and since the call
was made all three banks have en-.
joyed enormous increase Of deposits.

REBEL BANDS REPORTED To Be SPLIT;
OROzCO DISCUSSED WITH SONORA BAND

pated from a dissatisfied military The
faction led Salazar and Rojas and the
two Campas was to proceed west into
Sonora. This program has been car
ried out to the extent that United
states government men here believe
there is practically no cooperation be-
tween the two rebel armies. Orozco
is said TO be disguised with the cam
paign pursued in Sonora by his former
followers.
There is a group of about 400 rebels
operating along the Texas border
within 4G miles Of Juarez, where about
1000 federals are garrisoned, counting
achievements of 300 which arrived
yesterday from the Casas Grandes dis
trict- 1t is believed this small rebel
group is of Orozcos army. which
would make his entire forces equal
that of the force operating in Sonora
along the Arizona border. The federals
in Juarez have made no attempt to
pursue this band, neither have the
1000 cavalry under Gen. Rabago So
Journing in Casas Grandes.
The government several days ago
promised the American settlers of the
Mormon colonies in the Casas Grandes
district that their farms would be pro-
tected by federal cavalry but none of
Rabago's forces have moved from the
railway line running into the district
southwest of Juarez

Rebel forces operating IN northern

lions each represented by an army,
according TO adFices of the United

Followers of Pascuai Orozco jr., the
former rebel general in chief, and rep
resentatiTe of the more lawful and
organized revolutionary movement,
comprise the army of about 1000 men
for the last few days attacking
Ojinaga on the Texas border.
To the west, scattered in small
groups aggregatiug probably 1900 or
more men, led by various chiefs under
the apparent command Of Inez SalazaF,
is the socalIed Socialist element. It
is said that an absolute es-
arrangement has occurred between Gen.
Orozco and the element with Salazar,
Rojas and others.
When the rebels evacuated Juarez a
few weeks ago, it was decided that in
face OF the advancing federal armies
a split in the ranks Of the rebels was
necessary and that a return must be
made TO the guerilla warefare-
After a conference Of the chiefs II
was decided that the Orozco followers
proceed east along the border and
