Sacramento, Jan. 6-Hiram johnson

didate for reelection for governor. He
said he would sacrifice his personal de-
sire to return to private life, because
he believes the best interest of the
Progressive party of California will
be served by his running. He declared
he will not sacrifice his independence

Preside, Texas, Jan. 6-Although
there is a lull today in the fighting at
Ojinaga, it seems unlikely to be long.
General Herrera, with 5000 rebels, is
Fastening from Chihuahua to aid the
attackers. simultaneously General
Argumedo, with 1000 federals is COM
ing from Torreon to aid the defend
ers. The chances are that Argumedo
will arrive first. Reports that many
rebel prisoners were executed at Ojin-
aga Sunday night are confirmed. Two
more cases of smallpox were found to-
day among the wounded Mexicans in
the hospital here.
Presidio, Jan. 6-The entire rebel
army late yesterday began a retreat
from Ojinaga after repeated failures
to take the position held by the fed
erals. The purpose of the move is a
mystery.
Ojinaga, Mexico, Jan. 6-(via army
line to Maria, Tex. Before they
will retreat before the rebel army
1000 of Huerta's soldiers are ready to
die for their president.
This declaration was made today
by General Francisco Castro and
General Ynez Salazar. They are in
a plaster house which had been shot
almost to shreds by the rebel fire
when they gave their interview.
Around them bullets were flying.
Hundreds of their men lay slain, un-
buried, in the sun. Their fighting
men had had no sleep for many days.
But they were ready to stay until
they perished, they said.
Retreat of federal soldiers across
the border to the United States ter
ritory would be induced only by some
unexpected event and even if all SOL
diers deserted the generals would re-
main to die at their posts, said Gen
email Castro.
General Salazar is commander of
the federal volunteers while Cen
eral Castro, who is suffering from a
wounded hand, is commander of
the general forces.
The belief that so large and so
important a division of the Mexican
army would ask for asylum in
foreign country was founded on the
flight of the army with General
Mercado from Chihuahua about five
weeks ago, said General Castro.

energy, enterprise and trustworthiness
are recognized by everybody.
While they have this position, they
will of course have subagents in every
town in the valley and the sale of the
lands will be open to all agents.
For short time Beach & Dool have
offices in the Beach building in Ell
Centro, as we'll as in Los Angeles, but
soon will retire from this field, leaving
the work to be done by sub-agents.

The governor issued the following
statement: 81 had hoped at the ex-
piration of my term to take up life
where / left it in 1910, and with my
boys resume the practice of my pro-
fession. But men and women who in
the past three years have placed Cali
fornia in the very lead of the Pro-
gressive and humanitarian states in
sist upon another candidacy by me, and
have very earnestly asserted that the
new movement SO auspiciously COM
menced and the maintenance, fruition
and perpetuation of the policies they
inaugurated demand that l continue
the fight. No man in the state or
nation is essential to the cause, but
there has come such a unanimous
voice from the people who made the
good fight in California that I re-
linquish my views and accept theirs.
If it be true that with the commence
ment of the new era in California un-
der the present administration there
has come to me an obligation to con-
tinue political activity, I have no wish
to shirk the responsibility. Very many,
both of Progressives and others, have
asked me to become a candidate for
senator. If candidacy on my part
were necessary and | We're to consult
my personal desires alone l would
prefer this, but if | must yield the
hope for retirement this year, feel
l should be governed in my course
entirely by desire to carry forward
the cause so dear to me to maintain
and preserve what has been done in
my native state. Accordingly I shall
become a candidate for governor
again But in this candidacy, as in
my previous candidacy and during
the three years of my administratio ton,
1 will yield not one particle of inde-
pendence, which l prize more highly
than any office, nor shall personally
solicit the vote of any electors. I
shall, with all the vigor and ability
possess, present to the people the
record of the work and accomplish
ments of this administration and leave
with them the determination whether
they desire to return to the old con-
ditions, repudiated in 1910, or wish
a continuance of the policies that made
California the most progressive state
in the nation"

plan was preposterous. Our forces
evacuated Chihuahua because we
had been isolated there. We had
no way to obtain money to pay the
soldiers who remained loyal to Cen
eral Huerta and we had no means
of communicating with the war de-
partment at Mexico City. Our duty
was to open line of communication
with the head of the government and
to escort from Chihuahua City citi-
zens who feared they would be mur-
dered by Villa.
"We selected Ojinaga because it
is one of the best natural fortifica-
tions in the world. 1t also offered us
a source of communication with
Mexico City as we'll as port
through which we might import pro-
visions. Our position here is i'm
pregnable. We have ample stores of
ammunition and more than so field
pieces. Our losses have been greatly
under those of the rebels.
"Ortega, who came to attack us on
orders from Villa thought his presence
alone would cause us to flee immedi-
ately to the United States. He was
surprised when we resisted him. Our
1000 loyal soldiers, because of our su-
perior Notifications, are able to re-
sist 10000 rebels, and there are not
that many rebels in the north. Each
of us is ready to die should that be
necessary, and if we evacuate this
place it will not be to foreign coun-
try" EMa
General Castro's interview was
given in a quaint plaster house on
the plaza which had been under al
most continuous fire for week. His
hand was bound in bandages. AS he
talked, the cannonading and rattle
of infantry of General Ortega's rebel
army to the west of the village was
audible.
An inspection of the town today
showed many dead soldiers lying un-
buried in the outer trenches. Hun
dreds of soldiers on duty had had no
sleep, it is said, for many days.

The county has nearly completed
repairing Roswell road from Buck
head northwest to PAGES Ferry road,
tar binder and macadam being used,
pressed down with the steam roller.
The Roswell road between the points
named had been rough some time, but
is now much better for automobiles
and other vehicles. The convicts have
also cut way for sidewalks, and
tiling is the next thing in order.
Other road work in this vicinity
consists of a new 40-foot thorough
fare cut from the Ivy road, which
leads off Piedmont avenue, northwest
and then north to the Weiauca road
The convicts have completed a large
part of the grading and are now
building sewer intakes. This road
soon will be paved with macadam and
will furnish d short cut between the
Capital City Country Club and Ros-
well and intermediate points. The

shrinking and needed for the protection
of the large straddle short interests

morning from spot interest for March

March tenders is being appreciated
