bear in mind that the average price
of cotton for the past five years has
been more than II cents per pound.

ter Carranza and other officials re-
moved the provisional capital to Chi
huahua.
General Villas report reads:
II have the honor to communicate
to you that after six days of terrific
fighting the town Of San Pedras de los
Colonias was evacuated by the enemy,
which was under the command Of Cen
erals Velasco, Demoure, Mas and
others.
Before the evacuation they set fire
to the greater part of the city. In
these moments my troops are taking
possession Of the city. Tomorrow

only regret is that 500 of my troops

part some time during the week for
Washington, D. c., to represent Che
halls county's interests in the fight for
a 5550-foot extension to the Grays
Harbor jetty, according to a decision
made recently.
Information concerning Chehalis
county's resources, tending to show that
the commerce of the port justifes the
proposed extension, is coming in from
every hand and much optimism is now
felt. The general committee, as we'll
as the subcommittee, are working
night and day.
Mr.. Mack may be accompanied East
by one or more business men from
Grays Harbor. The information will
be. submitted to both the government
board of engineers and the senate
