BEEN BENEFICIAL.

Charles Davenport, of Glenn was in
the city this morning and reported
that light shower fell at Glenn yes
terday, there was a better rain at
Springer, however, and still more rain
fall north of that place. The rainfall
was very light west of Glenn for one
mile, from Glenn to Caddo nice rain
fell over an area five or six miles
wide, cotton in that section Is fruit

export states that the corn crop has
been reduced slightly by the contin-
ued dry weather and even with good
rains now there would be little chance
for a full crop.
There was no rainfall at Milo. Cheek
had a good rain and between Wilson
and Lone Grove the country was also
visited with heavy showers that will
help the corn crop materially. A good
rainfall was reported from the Mary
Niblack school district, and Wapa.

FORT WORTH
CELEBRATION
OPENING VlADUcT ACROSS TRIM
ITY RIVER CONNECTING NORTH
AND SOUTH FORT WORTH.

Fort Worth, Texas, July 3.-Tarrant
County will hear a salute this after
noon, according to preparations today
that would make more than one Mex
ican army tremble. The occasion will
be the celebration to commemorate
the building of the North Main street
viaduct, and twelve bombs, named in
honor of local ciizens who have aided
the work, will be exploded AS the
bombs explode they will let loose a
parachute to which will be attached a
large American flag.
The construction of the viaduct is
believed to be the final breaking of
the barrier" between North and South
Fort Worth, and bringing closer to-
gether of the two sections of the city,
separated by the Trinity River and it's
deep gulch. A parade of each side will
follow the salute and the sections of
the parade, one from North and one
from South Fort Worth, will meet
upon the bridge.
The Young Mems Business League
will participate, as will numerous civ
iC and trades organizations. Speeches
with a five-minute limit to them will
follow. Finally a local society girl,
whose name yet is a secret, will break
a bottle of Trinity River water over
the viaduct, closing the celebration.

MEXICAN PAPERS
D|ST0RT THENEWS
ESPECIALLY THOSE ALONG THE
BORDER-DENY VILLAS VIC
TORY-CLAlM FEDS SUCCESSES

Laredo, Texas, July 3.-Mexican pa
pers published on the border continue
to distort news to suit their factions
Carrancists papers persist in publish
ing fake stories of Huertista filibus
ters who are preparing to attack Nue
vo Laredo. They see a Huertista spy
in every Spanish speaking stranger
who reaches town.
On the other hand, the Huertista
papers-and there are still some left
in this section-put what is aptly term
ed the reverse English" on every
news item about Mexican military
events. They flatly deny every Villa
victory while telling of wonderful fed
eral successes in other parts of Mex
leo. Recently federal paper, Ell Guar
do del Bravo was suppressed here,
because of it's open anti-American
tone A few weeks later the former
business manager of this paper and
dhOlloi MSAiNdh btSdh puDllSlihS a
tri-weekly called Los Sucesos, which
while equally Huertista in tone, was
carefully neutral to the American gov
ernment.
A late issue of Los Sucesos publish
ed a day or two after the Associated
Press report of the capture of Zaca-
tecas denied the Villa victory, giving
detailed account OF Villas defeat
saying his disorganized army was even
then retreating to Torreon, after los
ing several thousand killed and wound
ed. The date of this alleged defeat
was given as June % while the Villa
victory occurred on June 23, leaving
the paper an apparent chance to eX-
plain the discrepancy. Nevertheless
Huertista sympathizers here still claim
Villa is miles from Zacatecas, reform
ing his shattered command hoping to
renew the attack.
Carrancista papers here denied the
break between Carranza and Villa, one
of them going so far as to bring a
rebuke from Carranza himself, who
the other day sent a telegram in which
he not only acknowledged there had
been difficulties" between them, but
that the estrangement still existed and
that later he would say something
about it. The same paper, which has
as an enthusiastic Villa par
tisan published a most bitter attack
against him, saying it was now con-
vinced Villa was a blood thirsty ban.
dit, assassin and traitor, and that he
should be treated as an enemy to Mex
leo for having turned his back upon i
the man who elevated him to his high |
position of general in the army.

The Shaclieton section will have
seventy dogs and also motor sledges.
the other party will have twenty six
dogs.
One great difficulty that confronted
the expedition was the lack Of scien-
tific instruments. These had been or
dered in Germany. but had not been de-
livered because Of the war. and 1T was
necessary to replace them in England.

for whereas at the beginning OF the

London, Sept. 19.--"There is no man
