Tells of Capture

Douglas, Ariz., July 9.-Telegraphing from the governors palace in the city of Guadalajara, Gen. Alvaro Obregon to- day informed F. S. Elias, border repre- sentative of the constitutonalist that had captured the city Wednesday morning and routed 12000 federas, commanded by Gen eral Miel federal governor of the state of Jalisco.
 In a fierce battle extending over a zone of so miles, the federal army was cut to pieces by Obregon's forces of less than 10000 men. Five thousand federals were captured, Obregon said, along with all the artillery and ammunition of the enemy. Those who escaped are being pursued by constitutionalist cavalry. Gen eral Bacno was sent to cut off all com munication with Mexico City He tore up the railroad line and prevented the federals moving stores from the city.
 Few of the attacking force were killed or wounded Obregon reported. He in- formed Elias that he led his forces per sonally into Guadalajara. The city went wild with enthusiasm over the entrance of the revolutionary forces, and 1t is estimated here Obregon will get 15000 cruits in the city before marching on Irapuato, the railroad junction on the Mexican Central railroad connecting the city of Mexico with northern and western Mexico.
 ObregOn's Telegram
 General Obregons telegram to General Carranza reporting his victory to the con stitutionalist chief follows:
 At this moment II a. m., I telegraph you from the governors palace in this city. The column sent out by the federals to meet us was disastrously destroyed. General Blanco was sent to cut off all communication with Mexico City The losses of the federals I am unable to com pute as yet. The battle covered a distance of over 100 kilometres and the dead are scattered all over this territory.
 Those who escaped are in flight or dispersed entirely. For three days we fought with more than 12,0O0 of the enemy. Have virtually captured all ar tlllery and ammunition held by enemy and 5000 prisoners. Others coming all the time and surrendering. Very few of our men are wounded or killed. No officers. Enthusiasm reigns in city"

MORE AUTOS IN SOUTH
AFRICA THAN MONKEYS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 49,
South Africa Is not all Jungle,
swamp, and wilderness, and the nat
ives and Europeans there seem to
have strong liking for American
made motor cars. The casual tourist
to that part Of the globe might. eb-
peet to see balloons swinging bJ their
tails from branches overhanginr the
narrow trails, but he'd be disaopoint
ed. Instead he would probably see
dozen wealthy farmers or miners
speeding along well kent road 20
every stray monkey he ehaneed 10
spy.
Figures just made public by the de-
partment of commerce show that the
medium priced automobiles made in
America has sprung into the most as
tonishing popularity in the past three
years in South Africa. During the
year ending June 80, 1910, American
automobiles valued at SOL l,1s5 were
purchased by South Africans. Three
years later the value was sl,167,371.
Experts in commerce declare that the
success in this market is a refutation
of the oft-repeated assertion that
German competition is driving Ameri-
can manufacturers from the foreign
trade field.
Britons engaged in the expert
trade to South Africa and British
East Africa are showing alarm over
the enormous gains made by the
American merchants in this end and
the cotton field, and the English
trade publications are repeatedly
warning the merchants of England
that the aggressive policy of their
American competitors is making huge
nroads into the market Of South
Africa, where until recently England
and Germany had monopclized the
field.

Funeral services were held in that

years of age and was married to Mr..

1866. Five sons and one daughter
blessed their union and besides the
husband four of the children are left
to mourn her loss. Those bereft have

SEEDS KEPT IN SAFETY
DEPOSIT VAULTS OF BANK

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15-When
planting time comes next spring
there is one crop for which the seeds
will be taken from a burglar and fire
proof vault in San Francisco:
These seeds represent more than
quarter of a century of work by Luth-
er Burbank. If lost or destroyed they
could not be duplicated, at any rate
for years, and it was to guard against
this that the Luther Burbank COM
pany recently stored them in the
strong rooms of the Union Trust
company and the Seaboard National
bank.
One seed is new kind of flax,
from the oil of which artists will
make their paint. Another is cer-
cal known AS quino to take the place
of wheat, barley or oats.
Painters have long complained that
the oil which their paints are mixed
is not neutral because of the vari-
ableness Of the flaxseed from which
it is made, and consequently that 1t
often gives unexpected and some
times unsatisfactory effects. Bur
bank began gathering every kind of
flax from all parts of the world years
ago, selected certain seed as his
ideal and began developing the plant
to grow only this type. Year after
year the seed was planted, and when
it was ripe only those were kept that
were of the type desired. Finally u
point has been reached where the
variety seems to have become fived.
Burbank declares that the oil il pro-
duces is absolutely neutral.
The quino plant is designed to take
the place Of cereal foods made from
different grains. The seed resembles
small hominy and the plant looks
like wild mustard. 1t is claimed to
have all the food values of other
grains, and is much cheaper. More
over, in making cracked wheat, rolled
oats or barley much Of the grain is
wasted, The entire seed of the new
plan is utilized. Originally it came
from South America, but its develop
ment and climatization to California
soil and weather conditions have tax
en- years of study and experiment. OF
the quino seeds of the type Burbank
has produced there is not peck in
the world.
1--WE have put the seeds in safe de-
posits vaults" said President James
r. Edwards of the Luther Burbank
company, because If they are de-
stroyed they would never be repro
duced. There are no more like them,
and ! doubt if Burbank would live
long enough to develop them again.
It will be several years before we
shall be able to raise a sufficient
quantity of either seed to be placed
upon the market
