garrison OF SALTILLO
IN FULL FLIGHT TODAY
By The unlted preas.

BY The United Press
ENCANTADA, Coahuila, Mexico,
May 20-(By Runner to General Co
peda and by Wire to Torreon,) May
22.-The Federal garrison Of Saltillo.
which evacuated that city last night,
today is in fun flight southwark to-
wards San Luis Potosi. On foat, by
train and on horses thousands of
civilians who fear to remain at Sal
tillo when 1t is captured by General
Francisco villa, are fleeing.
From Sunday until this morning,
the battle was continuous, but it was
impossible to ascertain casualties
Much of the fighting was carried on
by General Torribio 0rtega's divi-
sion, to which the newspaper cor
respondents were attached. The
casualties in this division were not
large.
General villa established his head
quarters north of Saltillo. BY u
series of ruses, the Federal forces
kept the ConstitutIonalists engaged
in the outskirts north, east and west
last night, affording opportunity for
number of troop trains to escape
south. The fighting continued in
some quarters today, but prisoners
declare this is principally a blind to
cover the main body Of the garrison
which got away last night.
Constitutionalist officers say General
Gutierrez, with a large force Of Consti-
tutionalists has blocked the railroad to
the south and that the retreating Fed
erals will find their progress towards
San Luis Potosi stopped. Villas horse
men are preparing to follow the enemy
and attack in the rear.
Ell PASO, Tex, May 22.-With the
evacuation Of Saltillo by the Mexican
Federals, military activity in the repub-
lie will be transferred 60 South Cen.
tral Mexico. All Constitutionalist
forces win begin at once to converge
on Mexico City itself, rebel officers in
Juarez stated today.
II is now believed the Federals will
/ attempt TO make a stand at San Luis
] Potosi, which is already besieged by
! General Alberto Carrera Torres and
General Bulalio Gutierrez Queretaro.
capital of the state of the same name
will probably be the scene Of the next
big battle which win decide the fate OF
General Huerta and his government.
\ Queretaro is south Of San Luis Potosi
and is the key to Mexico City from the
north.

LITTLE TALKS WITH
WANT AID READERS

y
How many lessons may be learned
from the Panama Canal, that great
engineering feat that the United
States government is just about COM
pleting. after two other great pow
ers had failed to accomplish it.
u was seen years ago that a short
cut from tie Atlantic to the Pacific
ocean was an essential to the COM
merce Of the world: for, while the
roundabout way that vessels former
" had to take around South America
was sufficient in olden times. with
the march of civilization and the mar
Yelous inventions that have accom-
panied It, 1t became necessary for a
shorter route to be devised. The need
Of this short route was especially ap-
parent in time OF war, and 50 the
great task Of building the Panama
Canal was undertaken and completed.
What is true In the world Of COM
merce and national relations is true
also IN the business world.
Men of affairs used to hire their
employees by personal search, house
wives used to get their servants by
seeking them among their nighbors
and friends, real estate men used to
rent houses by huge billboards, and
homemakers used to rent homes, fats
and apartments by long walking and
searching.
All this was very we'll a genera
tion or two ago, but today, with its
rush and hustle, there is no time for
such roundabout methods. A short
cut had to be found and was found
This business Panama Canal" was
the Want Ads.
These little channels to success and
riches soon proved their worth, and
the result is that no longer does the
business man go around South
America" to supply his Office needs,
nor the worker to get his job, nor
the housewife 70 get her servants.
nor the homemaker to rent his home,
but they go through the Panama
Canal" of the Want Columns and
quickly have their needs supplied.
Get the Panama Canal" Want Ad

the war can affect them in no way.
At the Office of one seed firm it was
said recently that the vegetable seed
situation is little short of alarming.
Practically the entire supply of such
seeds as beets, spinach, cauliflower
and parsnips comes from sections of
Europe that are now paralyzed by war
fare. There will be practically none
of these vegetables grown in Ameri-
ca next spring unless the war ends by
that time.
Most of the vegetable seeds are
brought from Europe because they can
be produced more cheaply on the other
side. American farmers never have
been able to compete with their Euro
pean brothers in this respect. The
seeds can be produced, however, in
this country, and will be produced in
all probability if the war continues.
In the case of flowers, the bulbs for
tulips and hyachinths and lilies of the
valley come almost entirely from Eu-
rope. At present the seed merchants
can not see how they are going to get
supply for the coming season. They
hope that the seeds will come, but
there is little doubt that the prices will
be increased.

FORMING NEW COUNTIES,

The map of Montana has undergone
a number of changes during the past
year, and the process of revision prom
ises to continue as population increas-
es and the taxable resources necessary
to support local government are
available. The proposition to form
another new county in eastern Mon
tana is the subject of this comment by
the Missoulian in regard to the crea-
tion of new counties:
On January 25th. the ballot will be
spread on the proposition of creating
Prairie county out of portions of Gus.
ter, Fallon and Dawson. with Terry as
the county seat.
The voting average on the PROPOSE
tion of creating new counties by direct
vote of the people in the territory at
fected, has averaged 1000 up to date
and the probabilities are that the vote
on the proposed county OF Prairie will
not change the figures.
This will make Montanas fortietl1
county and the seventh new county
created within the period of one year
Sheridan, ToOle, Fallon. Richland, Min
eral. Wibaux and Prairie.
The official map makers are having
a hard time to keep tally of the new
counties and the forms are now left
open for later returns.
The popular movement for the crea
tiOn of new counties is all right. While
it is true that the initiative is usual,
taken by prospective county officials
and wOuld-be county seat towns, anC
while the extra cost to the taxpayers
is considerable, the inalienable righ
of local self-government is probabl,
worth the increased cost to the citi
zens of the new county.
There is another phase to the mat
ter that is sometimes overlooked. Spe
cial privilege in every form Away
seeks to defeat needful legislation il
that branch of the legislative bod
with the smallest membership.
The control of the Montana Stat
Senate has become matter Of gener
al notoriety in this state.
In the old days. when there wer
only q counties in Montana. fourteen
men could absolutely block any kim
of legislation.
With 40 state senators answering
to roll call. it will take q Of the men
bers to control in matters of this kline
Montana will not suffer any bad re
suits by the dilutiOn of legislativ
power in it's senate.

Convicted Of KIDNAPPING.

Boulder, Nov. 2l.-Michael (Muckie)
Mcdonald, president of the Butte Mine
Workers union at the time of the min
ers' riots in Butte, late tonight was
found guilty of kidnapping, by jury
here, his punishment fixed at term
of three years in the Deer Lodge peni-
tentiary.
Joseph Bradley, vice president Of
the Mine Workers union, also was
convicted of kidnapping, and his punish
ment fixed by the court at five years
in the penitentiary. Joseph Shannon,
executive board member, was acquit-
ted by the jury.
The cases of the three mine workers
were combined and were the out
growth of the deportation of miners
belonging to the Western Federation
of Miners who had refused to join the
Mine Workers, an organization made
up of miners breaking away from the
fold of the federation.
The deported miners were given a
trial by Mcdonald, who was called
King Muckie" on an open lot in Butte,
and then escorted to the city limits of
Butte and told to beat it and not come
back"
