STEAM ROAD ROLLERPUR-
CHASEDBY Commissioners
A Ten-IOn Machine Bought Yesterday
to Be Used on Highways Of the County.

Recognizing the fact that a steam
roller is best for keeping the roads of
the county in good repair and that it
can be operated cheaper than the method
now employed in repairing the highways
and at the same time giving them a
solidity that will make them smooth and
compact at all seasons of the year. the
Board of County Commissioners at their
session yesterday contracted with the
firm of A. D. Naylor & Co. of Oakland,
local representatives of the Geiser
Manufacturing Company for the pur-
chase of ten ton steam road roller
which will be delivered to the county
within the next ten days or two weeks
and which will be used wherever prac-
ticable in repairing the roads,
The need of such a machine has been
recognized for several years by the Com
missioners and the purchase was delay
ed until that body was in position to
learn of the success with which It has
been used in other parts of the county.
Being convinced that the purchase will
result in saving money to the taxpayers
the contract was entered into yesterday
as above stated.

MEETING At THE
OAKLAND HIGH SCHOOL
First Gathering OF the Kind Was Very
Interesting and instructive.

The first meeting Of parents of pupils
attending the Oakland High School was
held in the assembly room of the high
school building on Monday evening of
this week, which was attended by a
comparatively small number, but those
present were highly gratified with the
success Of the meeting and came away
feeling doublV repaid for the time spent
The patrons of the school were re-
ceived by Prof. Bender and his corps OF
assistants and shown every courtesy.
Prof. Bender presided in the absence
of President Glotfelty of the school
board and introduced as the first speaker
Prof. F. L. Rathbun, County Superin-
tendent whose address was a timely
one, his subject beng School Spirit. -
In his remarks Prof. Rathbun pointed
out the necessity of the parents, pupils
and teachers working in harmony, and
that pupils to make a success of their
studies should broaden out by coming in
contact daily with stronger minds and
intellects. One of the requisites of
the scholar to make a saccess in life
IS to grasp and retain that which is i'm
parted by the intelligent teacher, and an
intelligent awakening among the scholH
ars is an inspiration to the teacher to
aim higher and to lead those under his
instruction into new and higher ideals of
life and living.
Dr.. A. b. Riker was the second speaker
of the evening whose address was a
splendid effort, his subject being Com
mumty Spirit. In his talk of about
fifteen minutes duration DIR. Riker
touched upon the great necessity of
throwing safeguards about the home
life Of young girls and to impress upon
their minds the necessity of prudence
and right living; to have the boys con-
duct themselves as gentlemen and to in
culcate in them at home gentility that
will be lasting and influence them
through life.
Mr.. Scott 7. Jones was the third and
last speaker of the evening. His adj
dress was on Cooperation, and GOV

Mexico City, Feb. 13.-At am

served in both the federal and rebel
camps, and it was expected that the
fighting would be resumed today
The federals were reinforced in the
night and their commander this
morning claimed that he had 1000
soldiers to the rebels 5000
Several federal cannon were posted
before dawn.
Between . and 10 o'clock shrap-
mel rained on the walls of the cable
office. but the clerks and operators
remained at their posts. A solid shot
entered the Jardin hotel.
AT 10:30 there was a sharp small
arms engagement when the federals
came within range of the rebel sharp
shooters. 1t was brief, as both sides
were relying chiefly upon the artil-
lery fire.
The rebels at the arsenal then be-
gan a more intense cannonade. A
federal battery in front of the Brit
ish legation replied and drew much
of the fire.
About noon a shell pierced the Ii
brary of the American Club. but no
one was hurt. A little later, during
small arms action, bullets fell
within the embassy grounds in the
heart of the city, which had tacitly
been agreed upon as neutral zone.
Lieutenant Colonel Rubio Navar-
rette, who gained the reputation of
being the most capable artillerist in
the Mexican army during the cam
paign against Orozco, was placed in
command OF the federal artillery to-
day by General Huerta. 1t was diff
ficult to see how the rebels could
long resist the federal fire, but the
rebels continued to display excellent
craftsmanship which enabled them
to offer a grim resistance.

Mexico City, Feb. 13.-Another
fierce street battle, which was ex-
pected to be decisive, was begun be
tween the troops supporting Madero
and Diaz at o'clock this morning.
The federals had the advantage of
numbers, and General Huerta and
President Madero declared that they
would be badly disappointed If the
Dlaz forces were not reduced to sub
mission before nightfall The popu-
lation either had deserted the center
of the city or remained hidden in
the houses, as it was impossible to
stir on the streets without enormous
risks
The federal forces were reinforced
last night by the arrival of detach-
ments of all arms of the service. In
the meanwhile the rebels fortified
themselves in the district surround
ing the arsenal. The rebels were not
increased in numbers, and there was
supposed to be only few more than
$500 of them.
Fifteen hundred federals, COM
manded by General Angeles, arrived
last night from Cuernavaca. bringing
two pieces of heavy artillery, and
much ammunition and stores.
Lieutenant Colonel Barron and
Colonel Ocaranct, both officers of
good regulations. arrived to head the
federal forces.
Struggling federals who reached
the American embassy at noon de-
clared that federal detachment was
shot to pieces on the western edge of
the city early today. This would in
dicate that Diaz has mobile force
outside his lines.
In the central district two nom
combatants were killed in front of
