FEDERALS AND REBELS
ENGAGE IN BATTLE

MEXICO CITY, Dec, 26--Large for
ces of Federals and Rebels are fight
ing few miles from Saltillo, accord
ing to advices received here today.
This is believed to be the opening of
the campaign against Monterey, as the
latter city is doomed to capture if Sal
tillo falls. One thousand Federal rein
forcements have been sent from San
Luis. Fears among the foreigners are
increased in the capital as result of
the bloody massacres perpetrated by
the rebels at every town they capture.
The government claims that the reb-
els are receiving foreign assistance.
Rumors are circulated here that Gen
eral Carranza, the constitutionalist
provisional president, is dead, but Reb
ell spporters deny them. A large force
of rebels near Potosi celebrated Christ
mas by blowing up Federal train and
killing thirty-four soldiers.

would appreciate the splendid chances

WORK ON BIC DAM
IS NOT HALF DONE

"Less than 80 per cent of the work
of the Prairie du Sac dam Is COM
pleted," said we'll known citizen of
that village in Portage according to
the Democrat. "PreIim1nary work on
the dam began two years ago this
month and it will be another year and
a half before the structure is completed.
"When the dam is done water will
be backed up the Wisconsin river sew
eral miles above Merrimack, distance
of about Is miles. At least that's the
estimate of the civil engineers. THE
dam company have acquired thous-
ands of acres of land along the river
that they expect to be overfiowed.
Most of this was purchased in the
name of Magnus Swenson of Madison,
president of the company. 1t was
thought better policy to buy the farms
outright than to fuss with overflow
litigation afterward. When experience
determines just how muck land will be
affected by the higher water level, the
company will probably dispose of
such parcels or parts of farms as are
not overfowed. 1t is said these river
bank lands extend as far as Wildcat
bluff, in the town of Dekorra,
"The estimated cost of the dam and
power plant is million and a half
dollars. Plans are being made to
string cables to Baraboo, Lodi, Madi-
son and perhaps other cities for distri-

A New YORK paper says the parcels

the paper the manufacturer will learn
to advertise his goods and the local
tradesman will represent the maker.
He will be in close touch with the
purchasers. The eastern paper argues
that work on very large scale cannot
be done as efficiently as on a smaller
one with closer individual attention.
The owners of the mail order houses
say they can tell in year from now
