DEATH a JUAREz "FAKE."
Two Thousand More Troops Sent to
Aid General Pershins.

Aid General Pershtn0.
Ell Paso, Tex, April 19.-Gen. Bell,
reporting from Ell Paso to Gen. Funs-
ton, gave 1t as his opinion after as
thorough an investigation as he could
make that the report of Villas death
had been manufactured in Juarez.
Consul .Letcher, who said he had
been in communication with Cusihui-
riachic. also has failed to verify the
report In spite of this statement,
confirmation of the reported death OF
Villa was announced at Juarez.
San Antonio, Tex, April 19.-Gen.
Funston is sending to Gen. Pershing
more than 1000 additional troops and
there is reason to believe that even
more will be placed at his disposal
IL the campaign against Villa is con-
tinued. The troops which have been
ordered to Pershing's base at Colum-
bus are on duty along the border
Staff officers here were~ convinced
some days ago that unless Villa was
taken before he got beyond points
within short distance south OF Sa-
tevo, the chances of getting him were
remote.

Do 1t, and Do 1t Now

The proposition of oiled streets for
Dermott is being discussed and it seems
likely that definite steps toward same
will be taken at an early date. Practi-
cally all of our citizens and business
men are heartily in favor of the move
ment. In fact, the oilng of streets is
almost a necessity, and is indeed an
economy rather than an expense es-
pecally to the merchant for there is
probably not one but whose stock would
be damaged BY dust during season
more than enough to cover his pro rata
of the cost of oillng the streets SAM
tary reasons. convenience and the say
ing Of almost endless busting and
cleaning ara reasons that appeal
strongly to housekeepere az We'll as
business men.
The proposition, as now outlined. in
cludes the following streets:
Front Street. Arkansas Street as far
south as Hotel Dermott, Freeman
Street from Front to Speedway. South
Main Street from Front to Bordeaux
Street. Peddicord Street from Arkan-
sas Street to the Kirk patrick residence,
Speedway Street from Freeman
Street to the krsie residence. Daniels
Avenue from Main Street to the school
house, and Trotter Avenue from Speed
way to Daniels The city already has
the sprinkler. and the cost of oil for
the district outlined above is estimated
at approximately $1,000.
That the oiling of streets Is a success
is proven by the fact that every town
that oils one year invariably increases
the district ana oils more extensively
each succeeding year. Since our curhs
and cutters have been put IN and our
streets graded. they are much better
than they have ever been before In
fact this Is the first winter that II has
been possible to drive through the town
with any degree of satisfaction ON ac-
count of the mud. which tins year has
been almost conspicuous by It's absence.
The only trouble. even after heavy
rains, has been that the water was
slow to drain from the downtown dis
tricts. This condition has already been
greatly improved 10y the enlarging of
the openings on Peddicord Street. and
if the curbs were kept cleaned and
open, the trouble would be almost en-
tirely relieved.
The finishing touch now needed IS
the oil and this can easily be accom-
pathy and support 10 the movement

change met in the board room OF the

The report of the secretary showed

members have been added and the
officers are going into the work with
increased energy.
The exhhange IL advising the farm
ers to cut their potato acreage in
half and replace it with watermelons

reason that melons do not require

melons produced in this section. The

furnish the same to the farmers at a
