the republican nomination for the Office
of superintendent of schools of Lake
county. | have had twelve years ex.
perience as a teacher, nine CT which
bave been in Lake county, at Win

given, that the superintendent should
visit the schools often. and during
the winter months when the enrolment
is largest. l believe in more CO.
relation of our regular subjects with
ag, icultuie Q. domestic science and snch
other subjects as will probably be of
practical benefit to the children in
later life. l have the endorsement
of the majority committee of the re-
publican party, and | respectfully So

Naco, Ariz.-Partial blockade along
the Mexican border has been estab-
lished by Brigadier General Tasker H.
Bliss, commander OF the United States
troops guarding American territory,
in revoking all passes previously is
sued to many persons for crossing the
international lines. Later communica-
ton into Mexico was limited to news
paper men and teamsters actually en-
gagged in hauling.
This action was taken by General
Bliss, it was said, as result of the
reported efforts of both Mexican fac
tions to send agents into Arizona for
recruits, supplies and other purposes
Several agents of both General Hill
the commander of the Naco (Sonora)
garrison, and Governor Maytorena
whose forces have been besieging the
town since September, were refused
passes into American territory.
Shippers continue to be active in ex
changing shots General Hill has re
ceiyed two 75-millimeter Maxim guns
which were placed in position after
