MEXICO HAS z
CAPITALS and
2PRESIDENTS

Ell PASO. Tex, Nov. "a new
alignment OF opposing forces in
Mexico, together with the abandon
ment of all hope of early peace. is
seen in the fact that Mexico is now
supplied with two provisional pres
idents and two temporary capitals.
neither of which is in Mexico City.
Gen. Carranza. provisional presi-
dent deposed by the peace confer
ence at Aguascalientes, refuses to
recognize the power of the confer
ence to depose him. and has called
his cabinet members together and
established a capital at Pueblo. be-
tween Mexico City and Vera Cruz.
where he has the archives of the
government.
Gen. Eulalio Gutierrez. named
provisional president by the peace
conference. has set up his capital at
Aguascalientes.
In the meantime both Carranza
and Gutierrez are gathering military
leaders friendly to their causes.
"If all the constitutional chiefs
abandon me. then will abandon my
native country" Carranza is report
ed as saying. But. on the other
hand, II any part OF them uphold me.
We will fight to the DEATH"
Among the military leaders who
are rallying to Carranza's standard
are Gen. Obregon. Gen. Blanco. cav
elry commander. and Gen. Antonio

STEPHENS ADVOCATES
MATERIAL IMPROVEMENT

Blunt Advocate: L. L. Stephens has
interested himself in attempting to Sc
cure a photographic survey of Medicine
Greek valley in Hughes county. There
is a fund on hand at the disposal OF the
state engineer that is available for the
purpoee of making such surveys, and
Mr.. Stephens has called the attention
of State Engineer Derr to the fact that
a portion of the money might be ex
pended. with the promise of good re-
suits, by making a survey of the rich
valley of Medicine creek. The strip of
territory traversed by this creek bed
could be made worth several hundred
dollars per acre. The soil is OF the best,
but the flood waters of every spring
go to waste with the exception of what
remains in the pond holes" A survey
would no doubt develop the fact that
the right kind of work at the right
places would make it possible to retain
comparatively large bodies of this water
for use in making every acre of this
rich valley more highly productive.
This is a matter of considerable import
ance to Blunt and the surrounding ter
ritory-the entire county in fact. Mr..
Stephens may be depended upon to do
what he can in the matter, and has al
ready had assurance that Engineer
Derr will make a trip sometime next
month to look over the ground. In the
meantime, it would be well for the peo-
Pile of this section to manifest an inter
est IN the matter as there are already
several applications in from other sec
tons, which if given precedence ovef
the request from this section, might ex-
haust the fund. Everyone has always
had the idea that Medicine Greek val
ley could be made a continuous garden
of marvellous productivity from Harold
to it's confluence with the Missouri.
Here's a chance to help it along.

THE PLIGHT OF T. R.

Chicago Evening Post: Can you
picture Theodore Roosevelt just now!
Undoubtedly something of what is
happening has reached his ears. 1t
will be indefinite, undetaiied and in
complete, but enough to set him on
edge.
All a,qu:yer to get back, can you
imagine how irksome must be the
slow progress by boat or mule, or
whatever means of transportation is
available2
His plan is to reach home about the
middle of next month, but the middle
of next month must seem a century
away, with the stirring sound of dram
and bugle in his dreams and the echo
of big guns reverberating over the
gulf and southwark.
Surely Teddy was eve in more
trying plight. To have things break
ing loose in this fashion and to be
miles from the scene of action-it is
nothing short of tragedy.
