HOSPITAL SHIP SAILS
TO AID REFUGEES
The SoIace Bound For Vera
Cruz in Anticipation of At
tack on Capital.

The Navy Department is believed to
ave started preparations today to care
OF American refugees in the event of
S:Hutionalists. This morning the hos
i;aI ship Solace sailed from the New
York Navy Yard for Vera Cruz. Ac-
ording to Secretary Daniels the pur-
Tose Of the trip was to provide accom-
.podaiions for ., few of the American
saj'ors on ships IN Mexican waters who
are sick. At he same time he added
hat the Solace would remain at Vera
CRUZ under the orders of Admiral
fletcher.
From other sources, however, il be-
came known tina. the Solace before
leaving New York, had been equipped
With bedding and provisions to care for
400 persons. and that the department,
anticipating an early attack on the
MexIcan capital by the rebels, desired
TO have on hand at Vera Cruz. the ter
minal OF the main railroad from Mexico
City, a ship that not only could care
for refugees. but would be equipped to
give medical treatment to any that
might be wounded.
In sending the Solace to Vera Cruz
Iof lhis puTpOSe, tne Navy department
has followed the cue of the German
government, which has ordered the
chartered steamer Bolivia, of the Ham
burg American line, to remain indefi-
nitely at Tampico, and the Bremen to
await further orders at Vera Cruz. At
both Tampico and Vera Cruz, the Ger
man interests are large.
The prospect OF an early attack on
Mexico City Is believed to have engaged
much attention from the Cabinet at its
meeting today. 1t is understood that
the Administration has been advised Of
discomfort among business men in this
country over the paucity of news which
the State Department is permitting to
be given out here regarding the real
conditions in Mexico.
Many OF these business men have
trade connections at Vera Cruz and
elsewhere. 1t is said the information
which their agents at these points are
permitted to send out is extremely mea-
ser. and. In the absence of further de-
tails from the Government in Washing
ton, many concerns. in New York and
other exporting cities Of the United
states are doubtful concerning ship
ments.

New System Becoming Pop
uIar in Sacramento
Valley

There are many firms in the real
estate business developing city ad-
ditions and building streets and
houses TO improve them, but the firm
of Watt & Co. IS the flrst to COME
to our notice who are taking advan-
tage of the splendid electric service
of our Sacramento valley to develop
the full possibilities of modern con-
veniences in the country.
This firm Is installing electric irri-
eating plants on each of their sub
divisions of 20 and 40 acres, and
erecting modern cottages with cleo
tric lights. toilet. lavatory. sink, dis
appearing beds, etc. These improved
places are being offered TO the settler
on easy payments and very reason
able prices f$I57.50 per acre).
There is certainly a big difference
from the old frozen hand pump In
cold blizzardly day back east and
these modern country homes with
electric lights. running water and
modern plumbing such as this Arm
is selling here in our rich Sacramento
valley, with its mild winter climate
The advent of the many electric
power lines through the valley Is a
chief factor in making possible the
modern comforts in the farm house.
1t is by means OF an automatic start
ing electric motor that large tank
on top of the houses is kept fun of
water. which permits of the up to date
plumbing.
