Macadam Road From Clint
to Belen Urged by S. B.
Orndorff.

A system OF dividing up the county
into units whereby 10 or u miles O.
paved macadam roads will be built eacl
year, found its inception Monday morn
ing when S. B. Orndorff, on the part
Of himself and other land owners neal
Belen, presented a petition to the county
commissioners. asking that a macadam
road be built from Clidt to Belen, dis
lance of six miles.
In presenting the petition to the COM
mlsIOners. Mr.. Orndorff stated that in
his vicinity there were $685. acres under
cultivation, and that 1000 of it was IN
alfalfa. 1t was said that the land own
eTs IN that section were paving taxes
on land assessed at 100000. but the
land itself was Casilv worth S1000.000.
Mr.. OrndOrff also stated that the people
asking the commissioners Tor the road
IN this instance were wing taxes on
land a great deal more valuable than
that OF others who were asking for
roads.
During the year, consisting of 800
clear days, the petitioners stated. an
average of eight wagonloads of alfalfa
daily were hauled over an almost i'm
paSsable road The proposed road is to
run from Belen to Clint between the
foothills and the railroad tracks. and it
was suggested that this could form the
unit IN = system of cOur'-- roads to be
built by the commissioners next wear.
Following the presentation of the pc
tltlOn an order was passed on motion
OF Judge Eylar that the commissioners.
acting Ia conjunction with the county
surveyor, be appointed as a committee
to draw up plan Of the county, divid-
ing it into units.
MI. OrndOrff in making the request for
the Belen-Clnt road told the commits
sloners that If they would assure the
petitioners that the road would be built.
the petitioners would secure the right
OF way. and assist in the grading of the
road. To this the commissioners replied
that the road and bridge funds at this
time were low, but when the money be-
gan to come in about January the mat
ter would be taken up. However. when
the plan OF units comprising the sections
wherein roads are necessary is presented
TO the commissioner which viii be at
their next meeting. July %. plans will
be LAID Tor the beginning of actual work
on the roads decided upon at this time
The petitioners from Belen agreed to
take the commissioners over the road
stating that they would discover for
themselves that the land owners around
Belen needed a road worse than anyone
else IN the county. Some instances were
cited where the ranchers living in that
section. having no other wav out. were
compelled to use private right of WAYS
running through the different farms.
Included In Eight Hour Law.
Although the eight hour law exempted
the men employed by the county in
on the county roads, the com
missiOners Monday morning considered
that it was an unfair discrimination.
and passed an order including those men
under that law
Judge Eylar stated that inasmuch as
the law made it Drohibitorv for a con-
tractor working men on the county road !

FUENTE PICKED TO
SUCCEED OROZCO
The San Antonio Vasquitas
Start Movement to Over
throw Rebel Chief.

David de IA Fuente is to succeed Gen.
| Pascual OrOzcO as commander in chief
I of the rebef army, according to reports
| in circulation in San Antonio. The san
Antonio Light, Of Sunday, said a plan
IS being formulated to Wrest the con-
troll of the Mexican revolution from
OrozcO and turn it over to another
leader, possibly de Ia Fuente, secure
money and prosecute the rebellion
along lines that are expected to result
in ultimate success in carrying Emilio
Vasluez Gomez to the presidency OF
the republic
Yesterday at the home of Sr. Vas
QueZ Gomez. lib CLAY street, an aD-
parently most important conference
was held, at which a document, be-
Heved to be new manifesto to the
Mexican people, was in process OF
drafting" says the Light Present at
this meeting was Sr. Vasquez Gomez,
Ing Francisco PradillO and ST. Ca
machO. Later during the morning, Lie.
Gomez RObelO and Gen. de Ia Fuente
also called and were in close confer
ence with Sr. Emilio yasquez Gomez.
'-Sr. Emilio VasqueZ Gomez declined
to make any comment on the assem-
blage or to discuss the status of him
self with reference to the present
revolution, which now appears to be
tOttering. Others, including Gen. de Ia
Fuente, were equally uncOmmunicative,
but it was noted that the half-cOmplet-
ed hand-written draft OF a document

all the time.
From remarks let fall. it was gath
cred that the Vasquistas have laid
plans to dethrone OrOzcO. His failure
in two instances, when he had every
chance to win. has caused much dis
content among his troops, it is said,
and il appears to be the plan of the
Vasquista element to take advantage
of this feeling against OrOzcO and turn
the tide of sentiment again in favor OF
Sr NasqueZ Gomez. In the event this
can be done, it is not contradicted that
the command of the revolutionary
forces will be turned over to another
entirely in accord with Sr. VasQuez
Gomez. That this man will be Gen. de
Ia Fuente was limited though the gen
eraI himself would not discuss the
situation.
1T is positively known that every
thing has been arranged to finance
the revolution and that the money
was to have been paid over upon the
installation of Sr. VasQuez Gomez as
provisional president. He went to
Juarez with that end in view. but. as
he said himself upon his return, Con
Zales Enrile prejudiced OrOzco against
him and caused OrOzcO to repUdiate
the accession to the presidency. Had
things worked out differently. the
VasQuistas would have had not less
than S2.00O0O0 with which to push
their revolution"

REBELS PLAN NEW
SMUGGLING OUTLET
MAY Utilize East Ell Paso
Tract Which Belongs
to Mexico.

Repeated reports that the tract OF
land near the FL PasO foundry, which
is on the north side of the river, but
which is Mexican territory, would be
smuggling ammunition. is causing the
United States army officers consider
able concern. Officers of OrOzcO are
reported to have crossed the river to
the tract and made a careful inspec-
ton Of it. AS the land is in East FL
Paso smuggling operations could be
carried on with much less trouble there
than at any other point along the river
where it is necessary to cross the Rio
Grande when ammunition is smuggled.

SOAKED IN COFFEE.
Until Too Stiff to Bend over.

when I drank coffee I often had
sick headaches, nervousness and bill
iousness much of the time; but about
two years ago I went to visit a friend
and got in the habit Of drinking Pos
tum.

and the result has been that am now
entirely well of all my stomach and
nervous trouble. CTea contains caf-
feline. the same drug found in coffee.)

We all drink Postum now, and have not
had any coffee in the house for two
years and we all are we'll
"A neighbor of mine, a great coffee
.drinker, was troubled with pains in her
side for years and was an invalid. She
was not able to do her work and could
not even mend clothes or do anything
at all where she would have to send
forward. If she tried to do a little hard
work she would get such pains that
she would have to lie down for the
rest Of the day.
4 persuaded her at last to stop
drinking coffee and try Postum, and
she did so. and she has used Postum
ever since; the result has been that
she can do her work, can sit for a whole
day and mend and can sew on the
machine and she never feels the least
bit of pain in her side. In fact. she
has got well and it shows coffee was
the cause of the whole trouble.
I could also tell you about several
other neighbOrs who have been beue-
fitted by quitting coffee and using Pos
tum in its place" Name given by Pos

LIKE SPARTAN BOYS OF OLD
North Canadian Youths Are Taught
Endurance Through Exposure
to the Cold.

Whipping and exposure without
clothes as a training in endurance of
cold for the North Canadian native
boys has curious points of resem-
blance to the training of theh boys
of ancient Sparta. They also were
Injured to cold by being made to 20
barefoot and to wear the same
clothes summer and winter; and
they also underwent whipping. Only
cold seems to have had nothing to
do with the latter. The scourgings
of Spartan boys before the altar of
Artemi8 Orthia are supposed to
have been a relic of human sacrifice
lin some cases boys actually died UNI
der the LASH. But they were I'M
doubtedly utilized as training in,
and a test of, hardihood-the bows
competing to see who could endure
most without a sound.
And how such Spartan training of
boys among the natives of northern
would have appealed to one
the CameronS of Lochiel. Sir
Francis Gallon records that, when
'%ivouacking with his son in the snow
noticed that the lad had
