COL. IRISH TRIES
To KILL LEAGUE
Attempts to Sweep Conyen-
ton and Block Plan to Form
Boost Organization

MARYSvILLE, Nov 21.-At the
citation meeting the forces headed by
Colonel John r. Irish of San Fran
cisco attempted to sweep the conven-
ton to kill the plan to form the
Northern California Development
league. Colonel Irish, who is a mem
ber of the California Development as
sociation, upheld that body and
lauded the work performed by it for
this section of the state. Rufus
Rockwell Wilson and his lieutenants
played their trump card last night
when Governor Johnson addressed
5000 delegates and MarysvilIe citizens
on the need for united effort by sew
eral counties.
Permanent organization is now in
the hands of two committees appoint
ed by Permanent Chairman Charles
HI. Dunton Of Placerville, and they
will report today. Chairman Dutton
created a sensation among the league
advocates when he appointed several
stanch opposition men on the COM
mittees.
During yesterday afternoon both
sides endeavored to swing the con-
vention. Rufus Rockwell Wilson has
publicly declined the presidency of
the proposed league. Former Cover
nor George c. Pardee is mentioned
as possible vice president. The man
out for secretary is still in the dark,
although the opposition delegates
charge Wilson with coveting the job.
Humboldt county denies the accus-
tion, claiming they have Wilson under
contract for five years.
Sacramento has come out with a
demand that with the formation of
the league the capital city be made
it's headquarters. Marysviile and the
northern counties object, in the belief
that Sacramento would endeavor to
secure advantages.

HIDE REBEL SUCCESSES

The war Office is trying by all
means possible to keep the people
in ignorance of the rebel successes,
but it is impossible to hide the fact
that the federals are meeting with
reverses both north and south.
Large bands of rebels are reported
in operation at Mazapil and La Guni-
dor in the state of Zacatecas and also
Tuluca, state of Mihoacan-
Another rebel advance upon Tor
reon is reported, while private dis
patches carried an unconfrmed re-
port OF the capture of Tampice.
HAILED AS A PATRIOT
Hailed as a patriot by his new con-
gress, which he convened in defiance
of President Wilson's demands, Presi-
dent Huerta was whirled away from
the chamber of deputies last night,
the master for the time being of the
perilous crisis of his own making.
Replying to Huerta's message. which
he read in person to a joint session of
both houses, General Troncosco, vice
president of the senate, exhorted all
Mexicans to display greater patriotism
and pledged his own undying loyalty.
Huerta in his message reiterated
and emphasized his defiance of the
United States, and the congress ap-
plauded his message to the last detail
of its significance.
WILL GRANT CONCESSIONS
The congress adjourned without TAX
ing action upon the proposed huge oil
concessions to Lord Cowdray, which
are estimated to be worth millions of
dollars and which President Wilson
desires, above all else, to thwart, be-
cause their granting would complicate
matters immeasurably between the
United States and Great Britain.
1t is currently believed here the
congress viii pass a number of bills
obnoxious to President Wilson, par

cit P. Barnes. was followed by an in- terasting talk by Rev. F. M. Holhster, lecturer of North Stonington grange, who spoke further upon the subject of cooperation which had been touched upon by one of the former speakers, indicating that he thought there could be county scope for CO., operation which might be of advantage to the farmers along market lines. Some of the things which the grange stands for. he said. were community interests the encouragement of agri- culture in a successful and scientific way. Scientific farming is the only kind that will pay today and the grange can give something of an agF1- cultural education. There is also the idea of rural uplift which can be a principle of the grange and put that organization up alongside of the church and the school for the benefit of the community. The grange should cooperate with that which stands for the spiritual in life Rural uplift means to make the state of Connecti- cut stand high intellectually to make it more livable in the country homes, to make the state a greater agricul- tural field so that it would not have to send outside for the things upon which its people live. Let Us stand church, the grange and the school, which are the three big factors in community uplfft.
 Paper by Mrs. HeaIy.
 Mrs L. E. Healy of North Wood paper on Country Life Problems. These, she said. were largely a matter of the young people and for them some recreation must be planned. It must not be all work for the young people on the farm Saturday afternoon oh mended and she also spoke strongly of getting out of the idea that every hour of daylight for seven days in the week must be given to toll on the farm. MT. Healy also spoke in com mendation of the grand work that is being done by the women's work com- mittees of the granges.
 National Overseer HeaIy.
 Some stirring words along national grange work were given by l.. E. Healy, national overseer, who was lis- tened to with interest as he spoke of the grange's success in it's advocacy of parcel post and of the oleomargarine laws, and he predicted that there would be strong interest at work which the grangerS must combat to prevent the repeal of laws which are to the advantage of the dairy inter ests of the country MT. Healy greet ed the younger members of the grange who were present. experimenting them upon their high degree of intelligence and the responsibilities which lay upon them in the future conduct of grange affairs. The cure for the cost Of high living, said MT. Healy, lies in the hands of the farmers when they want to exercise it by combination and CO., cooperation. which would result in higher prices to the farmer for the produce of his lands and lower prices to. the ultimate consumer.
 The male quartette from Preston City grange sang again and the meet ing adjourned about 3.S0 o'clock. The Preston City grange quartette mem bers are Everett P. Barnes, Allen B. Burdick, Charles c. Zabriskie and John O. Peekham.
