from Manzanillo
Guards Held or Rebels.
The guards took up positions and
held the rebels off. The fight around
the wrecked train lasted an hour,
when the rebels retreated to the hills.
The presence Of rural guards, no

gers. Eight small encounters in va
ri0us parts Ofsthe republic are report
ed today, the rebels showing increas-
ed activity in northern Durango, while
the. sea Patistas' movement in the

to the Dalrymple holdings in Cass

farm had been sold to a Mennonite
colony. Instead of selling, the Dal-
rymples are acquiring additional

ed colony offered $6o an acre for the
entire farm, but the tender was de-
clined. The Dalrymple farm now con-
tains over "a 900 acres.

raid on the Blks' club came up for
hearing yesterday before Judge Per-
ry. A change of venue was taken to
Judge Casselman's court. The state
failing, in the opinion Of the court,
to establish sufficient grounds for
binding the defendants over to the
district court, the case was dismiss
ed. The charge of rioting is a serious
one, and very positive evidence IS
necessary to hold the accused to It,
and inasmuch as the evidence pre-
sented was very weak, dismissal
was ordered.

IRRIGATION IN THE EAST
What Might Be Done With the Con-
necA.oue River in New England

From the New York Commercial.
The southern part of New England Is
experiencing lie sixth consecutive dry
summer, and the farmers and market
gardenera, are talking about irrigation.
There is no doubt that irrigation would
pay in many parts of the eastern states
quite as well as II does in the semiarid
districts Of the mountain and Pacific
coast states.
In the east the annual rainfall is al
ways sufficient in total quantity for agri-
cultural purposes, but 1t does not always
come at the right time. BY storing food
waters for US. in dry spells there would
be plenty Of rxater for all the land that
could be put under irrigating bitches. In
the Connecticut valley tobacco cultivation
would be moro profitable and returns
would be surer- IL the land was irrigated.
The same is true of small fruit and vege-
table growing all over the country.
Scarcely a summer passes that some
one of the smarl crops is not partial
failure because sufficient rain is lacking
for a couple of critical weeks Irrigation
will pay IL 1t Is needed only four weeks in
the whole year. Though no large systems
have been installed, anywhere in the east
