Some OF the most Interesting stories
I have heard in connection with the troll-
bic now going on in Mexico have been
told by rich families who have remained
neutral throughout the war. Gen. Ter
razas, who lived at Chihuahua, for in
deluged with trouble. When the fed
erals evacuated Chihuahua all private
citizens desiring to leave the town were
allowed to go with the troops.
Gen. TerraZas was among those who
took advantage Of this offer. He is near
ly eighty-tive, and although he is consid
cred one of the largest owners of cattle
and land in the world the trials and suf-
ferings which he underwent on this trip
were unbearable and no money could
alleviate them. The majority of the WON
en- remained in Chihuahua, as it was con-
sidered safe. especially in the case Of
those who We're neutral.
When Gen. Villa, the rebel command
ct, LOOK POSSESSION OF Chinua hua All the
houses We're condscated, including the
beautiful homes of Gen. Terrazas and Mr..
Juan Creel brother Of Ambassador Creel.
One of the few instances | have heard
where even age was respected was when
Mrs. TerrazaS refused to allow the sol
diers of Gen. Villa to come beyond the
first floor of her home. Mrs. Terrazas,
nearly eighty years old. deed these men,
and, strange to say. they respected her
commands. But she was forced to pay an
enormous rent for the use of her own
home.
Such troubles as these, however, did
not complete the list of sufferings which
Gen. Terrazas and his wife have gone
through. At the time the federals evac-
uated Chihuahua, Louis Terrazas a son
of the general, remained, believing that
his neutrality would save him. He made
his home III one Of the foreign embassies,
waiting to learn Gen. Villas feelings to-
ward him.
And this he did. shortly after Villa ar
rived for he was taken from the en-
baSsy force, and is now being held for

of the affair is that enormously wealthy
as his father is. the war has SO depleted
his store of cash and the remainder of
his fortune is tied up in property that
he is practically unable to raise the nee
essary amount to release his son.

had upon taking 4 ease YVES whether or
not he could win it The question of fee
Mas secondary"
That we was one of the remarks
dropped, and although Mrs. Fall is not
4 graduate of law. the expression was
correct. She comes from u family of law
yers- Her father was one. Her cousin
WAS Augustus II Garland Attorney
General in tleveland,s cabinet And. it
can be added, Mrs. Fall is a lawyer by
instinct, sufficiently learned to take an
active part in helping her husband.
When asked the direct question as TO
woman's ability to help her husband.
Mrs. Fan admitted it could be done, but
there were conditions.
"A woman can do much in inspiring
her husband. and can help him. She is
sure to be of use to him if she takes an
active, Intelligent interest In his work"
That has been her motto. with empha-
SIS on the intelligent, and a result. it
is safe to say that few have been the
cases handled by Senator Fall of which
she was ignorant.
Mrs. Fall had found little time for club
work. Her family, although now grown.
still claims her attention. She has one
son and three daughters. all married, ex-
cept the youngest girl who has recently
joined her mother and father for the re-
mainder OF the season in Washington.
Suffrage is a subject upon which Mrs.
Fall is neutral. This. however. is due
more to the feeling that women have al
ready sufficient responsibility than to the
belief that they should not have 1t.
while / would not seek the vote" she
said, We're suffrage granted the women
of New Mexico / am sure | should make
use of il. And while the subject is not
one of particular Importance to the
women Of my state far as l know, l
believe they would justify the trust were
they allowed To vote
one interesting topic OF conversation
touched upon was the high cost of living
Ii those who live IN the east cherish the
fond dream that prices are lower out
west. thcy should listen to Mrs. Fall. She
diSpels that Illusion. She cherished the
same hope regarding the east-and found
she was wrong
Things seemed so high in New Mexi-
Co, she explained. that l felt certain of

trary l found quite the reverse. This,
however, was to a certain extent due to

hsve not been idle since its or.

estly engaged in pushirg forward
its preparatory measures in the
inteyes st ofihe great or d most need.
!ul work y hich they propose tc
complete with the encouragement
and ass istance of our people. The
Commission held q meeting here
last Wednesday. The bankers ol
the parish by invitation appeared
before it and discussed with lite
members the importance of the
work and the feasibility of the
plans which they have about
adopted for its accomplishment.
The conference with the bankers
was erceuraging.

Foundation below it to support it..
For this reason experience has
tsught US this lesson that
when the weather is continu.
eusly dry, we may have paseible
public roads. but in wet weather
we must have and must endure
impaseible roads.
Now our Road Commission pro.
poses to remedy this evil perma-
-nently. They propose, not
merely to scratch the eurface, but
to build up . permanent highway
throughout our Parish on . cold
end durable foundation which will
last q hundred years, and to do
this without imposing the burden
Of extra taxation upon the tax.

poses TO ask the people to au,ho.,

just as they have done with the
