Y is interesting and richly historic region that
the American troops passing through on their
hunt after Villa and his bunch of assassins Gen.
in late years as the Mormon road because the earlier
established Mormon colonies reached over that
route, before the present Mexico Northwestern rail
road was built But fer half century before that the
route had been known as the "Smugglers trail"
it was used by smuggers operating between the Amer
can border and the interior of Mexico.
Col Dedds column from Hachta passed a
road that dates back far beyond the earliest days of
the Spanish settlements in the southwest; the road
was a great Spanish highway 25o years ago. For
told ages before the Spanish occupation the road
had been followed by the various tribes Of Pueblo
indians of the region, and by their prosecutors, the
nomad indians who preceded the Apaches and Co.
manches and other southwestern plains indians of
lay.
The first investigations by Mormon pioneers to
he possibilities Of settlements in the CaSas Grandes
country were made in the late 7O before the Mexican
Central railroad built. Some years later in the
early s0s, the first lands taken up, and the
Mexican Central railroad used for passage of set
tiers and goods, although overland trip of about
115 miles necessary to reach the first colonies
Later the road from Columbus opened, and the
colonies reached direct a somewhat shorter
and easier route Colonia Juarez the first impor
tant colony. Daz, MOrelos 0axaca, PaCheco, Garcia
Chuichupa and others followed in the late 90s and
early COS with Dublan established about the time the
Mexico Northwestern railroad (then the Rio Grande

It to a beauty parlor and place it in
the hands of providence. This should
be done four times a week, after secur-
ing the consent Of the husband and free
access to his bank account. The beauty
doctor can tell at a glance whether the
old complexion can be fixed up and
made 10 run a few more thousands
miles. or whether il will have to have
new tread This tread can be put on
by painless method and. when pro-
perly applied, will permit the use Of
a broad smile without cracking.
The worst enemy of the complexion
is the wrinkle. This is a small blem-
ish which starts in the form of a
shallow furrow. and unless removed
by the foot of the massage roller will
develop into a close resemblance to
an irrigation ditch. Wrinkles are
caused by thought which accounts for
the large. number of perfect complex
ions in daily use. A person who de
sires to retain his complexion should
not think on any one subject more
than twice, and then only at long in

SCHOOL CASE

 Case; Matter is Settled.

Little Rock, Feb. 21-(Special.)- )-In the case of the State of Arkansas ex rel. vs. Board of Directors School I'm provement District of AshdoWn, ap- pealed from Little River Circuit Court, the attorney general and certain tax payers of Special School District Of Ashdown brought mandamus to con- pei the county treasurer to demand and receive the board of directors or the district and to compel the First National Bank and H. G. Sanderson to pay over the sum of S30.000, money raised by the issuance of bonds for the purpose of building schoolhouse. Of the amount $25 GOO had been loan ed by the board to the bank and S5,000 to Sanderson, @ member Cf the board of school directors. The court was of the opinion that mandamus was not the proper remedy to pursue in the case, as the directors could not be compelled tc restore a fund which they had already loaned and over which they had no control, and man darus would not lie against the bank and Sanderson to compel them to pay the money into the treasury If the money was unlawfully in the hands Of the bank and Sanderson, under a con- tract made by them with the board it could be recovered, but it could not be done by mandamus, and the judgment of the Circuit Court in refusing the writ was affirmed
