FIRST DEFINITE NEWS
OF MEXICAN BATTLE

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS1
Ell PASO, May 10.-The first posi-
tive, direct news of occurrences at
Hermesillo, Mexico, where the federals
under Huberta are battling against
Orozco, was secured today, when the
United Press correspondent talked
personally with General Huerta over
the telegraph circuit via Lardeo, Tex
as, to Torreon and then to the battle
field. Regarding yesterdays conflict,
Huerta said:
Federal General -Robago completely
routed the rebel advance party OF 1000
at Zaragosa, killing 80. Villas cav
airy chased the rebels to the hills.
, Tuesday night we heard the advance
guard of the rebels coming. Villa at
tackled their front yesterday morning.
Robago fianked them with machine
guns. The fight lasted until noon, the
rebels suddenly taking panic and
fleeing like rats. | will not know until

Progress of District
One sometimes hears the question
raised as to what the directors of the
irrigation district are doing toward the
bringing OF the district organization
into direct control or the irrigation
works, and tbs dispatch is in the
nature of a reply.
There were those who feared, the di-
rectors would endeavor to put through
project for taking over the c. D.
system at price beyond its actual
worth, and the fact that the directors
have gone to work quietly to get a
right of way Independent of the C. d.
system will do much to inspire conf
dence in their wisdom
With this right secured, the district
will be in a position to exercise the al
tentative of building anew or buying,
and this will probably make consider
able difference.
Mr. Melton is also working in con-
nection with the reclamation service
in an effort to secure harmony be-
tween all interests on the river, and
this may possibly result in some plan
for the government to finance the pro-
ject of putting this irrigation system
