FIERCE FIGHTING
IN MEXICAN TOWN
Federal Army Wins Victory After Fifty
Hours Battle With Big Rebel
Force.

El Paso, Texas, March 12.-Desper-
ate fighting in an attack on Parral,
Chihuahua, entailing a heavy loss Of
life in a 50-hour battle, was reported
in belated advices reaching here late
yesterday. Some 1900 constitutional
lists, rebelling against Huerta's nation
al government in Chihuahua were driv-
en- back by almost an equal number Of
federal regulars, and the city, center Of
American mining and industrial in
terests, was demolished BY lombard
ment and street fighting in which
even the townspeople engaged.
Battle Continues Two Days.
The ex-insurrecto troops, who re-
belled against the Huerta government
and left Parral last week after mob
ilizing and recruiting at Santa Barba-
ra, neaby, returned on March to
retake the city. One thousand federals
from Chihuahua City had reinforced
the 200 regulars at Parral.
On the afternoon of the 5th insurg-
ents attacked and the battle continued
until the evening of the 7th On the
morning of the last day the rebels
took the fortified hills surrounding
the city, driving the federals to cover
in the town.
Volunteers Respond to Call.
Colonel Mercado, the garrison COM
mander and Colonel Castro, who had
brought the reinforcements from the
state capital, called for volunteers to
retake the autlying positions. Five
hundred men responded, and after
charges and almost hand-to-hand
fighting, drove the insurgents from
the hills.
Then the constitutionalists concen-
trated their fire on the south section
of the town, driving the city officials
from their houses and causing great
loss Of life to the residents. At night
the insurgents withdrew During the
fighting mobs of townspeople rioted,
burning the market place and attack
ing the banks. Volleys from the sol
dier's ranks soon quieted the internal
disturbance,

TELEPHONE COMPANY
EXTENDS ITS LINES
Runs 100-Pair Cable Over Into Polk
County Where Business Is In
creasing Rapidly.

Looking to the early development Of
West Salem on an extensive scale
with the completion Of the railroad
projects affecting that district, the Pa
cific Telephone & Telegraph Co., has
extended new cables across the river
and is preparing to accommodate all
the residents who may make their
homes on the west side for years to
come. This extension Of lines is only
a part of a big program Of local deyel-
opment of the lines.
From the office of the telephone
company on Liberty street a 1OO-pair
cable has been extended across the
river into West Salem, taking the pres
ent cable on the bridge and running
up the Independence road to King
wood.
Wonderful Opportunity Offered.
Speaking of this extension yesterday
w. II. Dancy, local manager of the
company, said;
"The Kingwood section offers a
wonderful opportunity for the estab-
lishment Of the most beautiful resi-
dence section in the west. This devel-
opment is sure to come before long,
and it is for this that we are prepar-
ing in lettering our service across the
river With the electrification of the
railroad on that side there will be a
big rural section that will be lighted
by electricity, and the scenic elevation
and fertile condition Of the soil means
that hundreds Of people are going to
be drawn there for home building.
The telephone company will be ready
for them when they come"
improvements Are Underground.
The company is also making large
improvements by the addition of new
underground cables on this side of the
river, This method Of improving the
service not only makes a more eff
cient phone system, but with the re-
moval Of poles in the streets lends to
the Identification of the city. From
now on most Of the new cables will be
underground
From the office on Liberty street a
600-pair cable has been run under
ground to a manhole at State and Lib
erty streets Another 6OO-pair cable
has been extended to Chemeketa and
Liberty and up Chemeketa to Four
teenth.
The cable on Chemeketa street re-
moves the overhead cables and clears
that street Of poles. Further, 1t gives
additional facilities on State street
and in the main business section Of
the city. The work is preliminary to
more extensive developments, and will
be completed about May Is.
Many Rural Lines.
The telephone company is not con-
filming the additions to its facilities to
the city lines Manager Dancy reports
remarkable increase in the number
Of farmer lines in use. He attributes
this to the dividing up Of the larger
farms into smaller tracts for the ac-
commodation Of additional families.
One new rural line has been extend
ed from the Garden road and another
north from the fair grounds on the
Brooks road. Another line is project
ed east from the asylum. Mr.. Dancy
says that the tendency has been with
the increase Of the rural population
to overload the existing line. The new
lines eliminate the difficulty in pro-
curing good service frequently caused
by overloaded lines.

in flavor and aroma, appetizing
in appearance and that waste lit
tie in preparing for the table.
The yield of potatoes on many
farms is too low to be profitable
except when prices are high. The
low yield is chiefly caused from
planting seed from low producing
hills.
A potato does not produce a
crop like itself, it produces a crop
like the hill from which it came.
With the ordinary yeznethod OF. So
lection, seed potatoes from the
poorest hill and a part of the
potatoes from the moderate pro-
ducing hills are used. Not a po-
tato from the highest yielding
hills is planted. Intelligent Sc
lection Of seed from high yield
ing hills will double the yield on
more than half the farms.
