Hot on Trail of Villa

A dispatch in the Albuquerque Journal this morning states that two troops of U. s. cavalry left Hachita. N. M.. yesterday and are marching into Mexico in search of the Villa bandits.
 These troops are reported to be marching with the minimum of equipment and to be led by Nor mon scouts from the Mormon colonies at CoIonia Dublan and Colonia Morales. From their point of departure the distance is eight-fve miles to Casas Grandes and the start was made early yesterday morning. If Villa intends to offer any organ ized resistance to his pursuers it might be possible for United States soldiers to come in con- tact with his outlying posts very  soon.
 The campaign is being con ducted on the assumption that the de facto governments troops will cooperate in the efforts to destroy Villa and his followers, but. with the exception of the small garrison at Palomas, op- posite Columbus. that Joined General Pershlng's column as scouts and guards, there is no indication that the Carranza forces in any considerable num- bers will join in the hunt for Villa.

Road Petitions in CircuIation

Petitions are now being circu- lated for presentation to the Board of Supervisors. of Navajo County, Arizona. in which said Board is petitioned to call an election to vote road bonds for the construction and improve ment of roads in the county. The election proposed. if held, will decide whether or not the county will vote one hundred twenty five bonds Tn the sum of one thousand dollars each or 8 total sum of S125. GOO. % for the purposes above mentioned.
 Apache County on the east and Coconino County on the west have much better roads than Navajo County, and this state of affairs is due to the fact that each of said counties has voted bonds for improving and con structlng their respective roads, and the results have been good. Navajo County should keep abreast of it's neighbors.
 To issue bonds in the sum mentioned will mean that the county secures and has good roads. Most of the money de rived from the sale of such bonds will be received by residents of the county in return for work and labor performed. The coun- ty and it's people will be more prosperous. and the burden of taxation to pay each of said bonds as each of same become due will be but little on any person or company. while the results will be many and of far reaching eff feet This is aquestion a of much interest to the county and its taxpayers, and it is believed that the benefits to be derived therefrom will be lasting, numer- ous and valuable, while the in- jury OF damage will be none, and the cost to any person or persons or company will be very nominal.

Cylinder Press Instaned

A Campbell cylinder news paper press was added to The News plant this week. The press was received Monday; it has been erected in The News building. but 1t has not yet been adjusted for operation. To do this may require the services of an expert press erector, consequently a week or two must elapse before fhe press is ready for use.
 Until the new press is placed in commission the old equipment will be used. and the size of the paper will remain as it is now four pages some weeks and six pages other weeks, varying ac- cording to the amount of matter set for use. This week but four pages are printed. the time used by the office force in erecting the cylinder press making it neces- sary to curtalI the work in the composing room.
 When the cylinder press is put in use the size of the paper will be changed. Four pages seven columns wide will be printed in- stead of four pages six columns wide Practically the same a. mount of matter will be used in four of the larger pages as can be used in six of the smaller pages. Moreover, the press work will be cut two-thirds. The whole of the enlarged paper can be printed with two impress sions. while to print six pages of the present size pages as they are now printed requires six inn pressions.
 The News plant is now the largest and most complete news paper and job printing plant in tbis section of the state. When a linotype is isntalled, which may be done within the next year, the equipment will be complete. Until that time. we shall rest content in the knowledge that no town of equal size with Hol brook has better plant than that of The News.
