REBELS CONCENTRATE
FORCES At CHIHUAHUA

Ell Paso, Texas.-The war scene in
Mexico has shifted in the city of Chi
huahua, where General Orozco is con-
centrating all the rebel forces in
northern Mexico for a final stand
against General Victoriano Huerta's
federal forces. All the country south
of Chihuahua is Being abandoned. To
prevent the federals from making pro-
gress in their pursuit, the rebels are
burning their bridges as they cross
them. In Chihuahua, Orozco will have
food and water for his men and will
be in touch with the border in secur-
ing ammunition.
More than 800 dead and wounded
rebels were found on the battlefield
behind Rellano as the federal advance
guard under Generals Rabago and Tel
lez pressed northward in pursuit of
the retreating insurrectos.
In all, General Orozco is estimated
to have lost nearly 5000 of his force
OF 5000 rebels. Two thousand are re-
ported to have fed in disorder and the
dead and wounded ultimately will
amount, it is believed, to a thousand.

PLANT LOWERS PRICES
SeattIe's Experiment in Asphalt Paw
ing Brings Better Conditions.

Seattle-According to figures sub
mitted by City Engineer Dimock, Seat
ties municipal asphalt plant has not
been a pronounced financial success.
The initial cost of this plant was $751;
800, and up to December 81, 1911, it's
net cost to the city had been $42,480.
The revenues of the plant totaled $751;
1889. Several weeks ago, in the
hope of obtaining better results, the
council transferred the asphalt plant
from the engineering to the street de-
partment in order that it may be used
in the upkeep of the paved streets
on which the board of public works
for more than a year has rejected all
bids for maintenance.
Friends of the municipal paving
plant, in it's behalf, point out that al
though it shows o deficit it has more
than made it's cost by causing the
paving companies to reduce prices of
paving. In some instances, SO per
cent saving was effected, as the as
phalt combine, after the municipal
plant was established, lowered bids
and paving has since been done at
reasonable figures.
