Minority Leader Fox asked that the

Rosa hill. an eminence, GOO feet high,
which is located about one mile from
the plaza in Chihuahua City, is the
KEY 10 the state capital and northern
Mexico, prominent American refugees
from Chihuahua City declare.
II was in the vicinity Of this hill
that Villa and his consttutionallst
forces attacked Chihuahua City early
in November, 1913. He was driven
off by General Salvador Mercado'S
artillery. and then Villa encircled
Chihuahua City, attacked and took
Juarez on November Is Of the same
wear. After Villa entered the state
capital on September Is Of the pres
ent year, The Associated Press CORES
pondent reported having seen villa
and his golden ones on Santa Rosa
hill.
This hill Is an elevation between
mountains, the American refugees
here say, and must be taken before an
entrance can be made into the CITY
On this hill General Trevino has
mounted seven large calibre cannon,
according to the Americans, and had
further fortified 1t with machine guns
and harbed wire entanglements around
The base OF the hill, with thanking lines
of trenches and barbedwire entans!e-
ments.
The refugees believe greater part
of the fighting today occurred in the
vicinity OF Colonia Dale, a British set
Element to the southwest Of Chihuahua
City. To attack the forces in the Vi
cinity Of this natural fertilization
from the south II would be necessary
for the bandits to cross an open plain,
the Americans familiar with the local
Ity say. It was there that the heavy
losses in the Villa forces is believed
TO have occurred.

DO WE WANT A
CHEMICAL ENGINE?

At the court house tonight, the mat
ter of purchasing chemical auto fire
engine for the town OF Elko Is to be
discussed. The County Commission
ers, acting AZ Town Board. have had
the matter under consideration for
some time. and It is their desire to
obtain the sentiment Of tie taxpayers
and citizens In the matter.
In San Francisco several weeks ago,
Mr.. Jones inspected all the best makes
Of fire engines. and he found the
White to be the best adapted to the
needs and conditions here. II costs
about $4,000. payments to be made Of
$500 per month for sixteen months
1t carries forty gallons of chemicals
and one hundred and fifty feet of hose.
1t can be attached to fire plug and
will throw water two hundred and
fifty feet.
vision Of sentiment as to the advisa-
bility of purchasing the engine Just
now. One side claims that the town
is already too much in debt and that
more debt should not be contracted.
The other claims that the purchase
would result in an appreciable de-
crease in insurance rates, enough to
cover the cost OF the machine in few
years, besides giving assurance Of
safety to property from fire. 1t is
pointed out that the saving OF one or
two houses would pay for the machine
and its maintenance for year.
The Independent has been inclined
to favor the purchase of such an en-
gine. There is no likelihood OF dis

tress from this additional amount to
our Indebtedness. and the fact is
patent to everyone that the town Is
without adequate protection.
In the natural law Of chance Elko
viii some day have fire-a big fire.
So far we have been favored. but Il
win not always be SO. With big fire
our present fire protection womd
practically mill
While the protection afforded by a
good fire fighting equipment Is large
ly speculative. as we, cannot tell when
or how many fires may occur, It is n
wen established fact that eighty-fiye
per cent OF fires In cities are extin-
guished by chemical engines. The
great object In fighting fires is to get
to the scene quickly before It gains
headway. With an equipment such an
has been proposed. within two min
utes from the sound OF the alarm any
section Of town could be reached
Whatever may be the wish OF the
majority of the property holders, we
hope 1t may be obtained tonight. We
have no feeling or interest either way
save the best interest of the town. II
1t is economy to wait let US wait. But
II 1t can be shown that is Is economy
and wisdom to secure such an equip
ment, then let 1t be purchased with
out delay
Everyone interested should attend
the meeting tonight. 1t Is matter
in which property holders are interest
ed and In which tn commissioners de-
sire all to have voice.

Both times he went out, but the
