VILLA NEARING PARRAL;

huahua City
BORDER SHIPPERS ACTIVE

Ell PASO, Tex, July 19.--Fresh reports
from the neighborhood of Parral and Jim
inez today say "Pancho" Villa Is within
10 miles of Parral and on his way to Chi
huahua City, Some of his advance guards
are already north Of chihuahua and cut
ting up Carranza detachments regularly.
Political parties are also doing their bit
toward embarrassing the Carranzistas the
Liberalistas have stolen march on their
equally ambitious rivals by placing on their
SLATE" number of officials who served
under Madero. Thus they hope to gain the
aid of villa who has never swerved from
the cause of his dead leader.
Mexican snipers are so active along the
border that trip on the American bank OF
the Rio Grande is nothing short of a risky
adventure, and any traveller going there
offered himself as target for the sharp
shooters hidden in the hills and mesquite on
the other side.
For several days American sentries had
been posted at intervals to warn persons to
seek n trail not so invltingly within rifle
range. Today these guards were doubled
and travellers absolutely forbidden TO APP
proach the river bank.
This was especially true in the neighbor-
hood of the dam on the smelter road in the
western part of the city. At this point
Colonel w. X. Wright, of the 23d Regiment
Infantry. was preparing camp for two Ma
tional Guard regiments which he is to whip
into shape. Twenty regulars carrying rifles
and side arms were on guard there
During the night snipers took pot shots
at whatever lights showed on the American
side. Early today they were still at it and
the little Jets of sand kicked up by their
bullets attested their activity.
Company l., of tn 9th Massachusetts, In
fantry. established at Camp Cotton, in the
eastern part Of the city, reported that their
outposts had exchanged shots with Car
ranZistas cavalry across the river.
In the neighborhood of the smelter camp,
where the last American outpost guard
stopped all automobiles and searched them
for arms. the soldiers exchanged shots dur
ing the night and early morning with
the hidden marksmen on the Mexican side
These activities were watched by the
thousands of guardsmen, and those camped
near Fort Bliss longed for a chance to do
duty within range of the Mexlcans The
possibility of exchanging compliments with
Mexican snipers was much more thrilling
to them than waiting for the Mexican sit
uation to develop into a crisis.

No Change in Sight

Our opinion is that like announcement
will be made in year from now. The Super
Six invention in one bound, increased motor
efficiency by 80 per cent. From a small,
light Six, which delivered ~ horsepower, it
created 76-horsepower motor. And simply
by ending vibration.
Stock Super-Sixes, in hundred tests, have
out-rivaled all other stock-car performance In
speed, in hill-climbing, in quick acce1eration
and endurance, they have done what was
never done before.
No man can doubt that the Super-Six
holds the pinnacle place among motors.
And there is no higher place in sight
After eight months of experience, with
10000 cars, not one important Improvement
in design suggests itself to our engineering
corps
So the Super-Six will remain as it is. And,
because of our patents, it will maintain its
supremacy

Each owner feels himself master of the
road He knows that in every sort of per-
formance his car has out-matched all rivals.
He knows that he has the smoottest-
running motor ever built. The most powerful
of its size.
He knows that in ordinary driving he
never taxes half its capacity. That means
long life and economy
He knows that his motor has shown
boundless endurance e-such as never before
was shown. And that he can look forward
to many years of its perfect present service.
Watch some of those cars. Talk to the
men who own them. Then ask yourself if
there is any fine car equal to it.

PIONEER WOMAN WAS
DELIGHTFULLY."- ENTERTAINED
Old Friends Pay Tributes to Mrs.
Elijah Frost on Birthday.

Friday evening, January 18th, was
celebrated the 10Th birthday of one
of the early pioneers of Idaho. that of
Mrs. Matilda Frost, at her home on
South Kimball. The felicitous affair
was arranged and the feast provided
by the daughters of Mrs. Frost, Mrs.
H. w. Dorman. Mrs. M. A. Roberts,
and Mrs. H. Frost. and was COM
plete surprise to the guest of honor.
The company arrived in body each
person bringing some token of re-
memberance. Soon a table of banquet
length was spread with all the good
things of the season appropriate to the
occasion, cooked and served in good
old Southern style, not the least of
which was a beautiful birthday cake.
Handsome place cards were used.
Some of the guests were pioneer
friends who had gathered around the
hospitable board of Mrs. Frost in
1888. Many letters and cards of con-
graduation from absent friends were
read while they fingered around the
table. Grandma Frost, as she is fam
iliarly called by all, was born in Mis-
souri, in l84O. She was married at the
age of sixteen and in 1862 with her
husband, and one or two small child
ren. started on one of those memor-
able journeys across the plains which
ment so much hardship and danger.
Mrs. Frost, herself drove a team OF
oxen much of the way, her husband
the late Elijah Frost, being occupied
with duties as captain and guide for
the whole party, train of fifty
wagons. He was veteran plainsman,
this being his fifth trip across. He
spent the winter of 1847 in Portland
| Oregon, which then consisted of one
log cabin. During the more than six
months while they slowly crept across
prairie mountain and desert, Mrs
Frost was ever ready with word OF
cheer for her sisters in distress and
when danger threatened and was
always a comfort and help
in times of sickness or ac-
cident Their destination was Cal,
ifornia. In 1866 they came to Idaho
settling in the Boise Valley. sixteen
miles below Boise. In 1883 they NOV.
ed from there to Caldwell and made a
new home on the estate where she
still lives. This home soon became q
gathering place for young and ole
from far and near. and all received {
motherly welcome.
The day OF the OK team and the emf
grant wagon is past. The day of th'
pioneer is closing. Few remain tt
tell of the sacrifices which opened tn,
way for the comparative ease ant
comfort of today and of tn,
prosperity of the future May Grand
ma Frost long be spared to enjoy th
love and respect which her beautiful
character has engendered in all wh'
know her best.
