Government Troops
in Bad Fix.
(Hy leased WIre to New Mexlcan.)

(By Leased Wire to New Mexlcan.)
Juarez, Mexico, Feb. 20.-Ammuni-
ton and reinforcements were sent
from here today to the federal troops
fighting Villa followers south of
Jiminez. Sixty boxes Of ammunition
left on a special train guarded by the
achievements. Confirmation of the
battle between General Murguia's com
mand and Villa followers was received
here today. The fight occurred Sun
day. Government officials claim it
was a federal victory but other re-
ports stated villa had isolated ten
troop trains and the position of the
federals was critical.
All horses in Chihuahua City have
been Communicated by General
Murguia to mount his infantry
troops. He sent back for 800 head
and when only 80 were sent him ne
made a flying trip to the capital and
seized every horse, including the
governors saddle and carriage
horses, shipping all of them south or
a special train. Details of the am
bush which Villa planned and exc
cuted against the federal forces
under General Pedro Favela, were
received here today. Sending out a
skirmishing party, Villa ordered them
to retreat in apparent disorder.
The federals pursued them think
ing they were defeated. The chase
led into a box canyon where Villas
entire force was concealed and the
federals we're routed with heavy
losses. All federal troops from the
Guerrero districts Of western Chi
Ihua hua have been ordered to Chi
huahua City and are being sent
south to reinforce General Murguia's
command. Troops from Ojinaga are
also being loaded at San S~ostenes,
on the Orient railroad and sent

Railroad Representatives
Ask Taxes Be Cut to
$4,000 a Mile.
ON RAISE
TO5 THOUSAND

In arguing before the state tax COM
mission this afternoon for a reduction
In the assessed valuation OF the New
Mexico Central railway from $4,000 to
$4,000 per mil, Attorney NH 3. Field
and Colonel D. C. Collier stated that
Il Is the intention Of the road to instl-
tute daily train service as soon as pos
slble. General Manager Richardson,
they stated, is in Denver to purchase
two new locomotives, and arrange
ments are beinu made to buy freight
and passenger cars.
The commission met shortly after 2
O'Clock this afternoon. Commissioner
F. c. Wilson was absent, and It was
decided to await a full attendance OF
members before choosing a chairman.
Commissioner A. w. Pollard of DEM
ing was chosen temporary chairman,
and Mr.. Field began his argument.
Mr.. Field declared that the Munoz
interests had purchased the road when
it was taxed at 1880 per mile, n 10
have it raised to $4,000 Immediately,
before they had an opportunity to re-
habilitate it, would discourage them.
In Mr.. Fields opinion, the road cannot
be made to pay on the investment for
about five years and during that per-
iod it should be dealt with consider
ately, he said.
Making the New Mexico Central a
real railroad will increase the value
of the property in the territory It servs,
the Albuquerque lawyer contended, as
well as enhance its own worth. 1T
seems to me It would be better to let
the road off with small taxation for q
year or two rather than collect a large
tax once or twice and perhaps moth
ing later" the lawyer said. He de-
clared the government had not cared
to take over the line because OF the
great cost Of improving 1t, while
Munoz and his associates have been
willing to undertake the task, knowing
that later federal control might be ex-
ercised.
"The New Mexico Central is known
as a railroad,A he said, because II is
CHARTERED as such, "but in reality it Is

taxation, IL would be better not to tax
the road al all, as such a policy would
tend to help build it up as a future
taxpayer"
Colonel I. q Collier, who is connect
ed with the company, spoke along the
lines emphasized by Mr.. Field. At the
conclusion of the New Mexico Central
arguments 1t was proposed to hear
George G. Tunell, of Chicago, repre-
senting the Santa Fe.
Mr.. Wilson came in after the session
opened, but no election Of a chairman
had been held up to 4:30 o'clock.
The commission likely will hear the
protests of all the railroads before act
ing on any of them. Wednesday the
bangs will b heard and Thursday the
telephone and telegraph companies.
All the commissioners are present
They are: j. Rafael Aguilar, Wagon
Mound; A. w. Pollard, Deming;
George L. Ulrick, Carrizozo; j. r.

NEW INDUSTRY
FOR WINE DISTRICTS
Grape Growers of California Plan to
Make Large Quantities of
Grape Syrup.

FRESNO, Cal, Dec. 24.-By supplanting
the wine industry, with the manufacture
of grape syrup on a big plane, Prof T.
r. Twight, chemist for the California
Associated Raisin company, sees the sal
walton Of the California wine grape grow
er. Not only will grape syrup be manu-
tactlred, but other products, such as tar
taric acid, tannin, oil, fertilizers, which
practically 60 to waste now, viii be uti-
lied
Says Prof Twight: 1T is estimated
b the viticultnral commission that the
3Z0,C0 acres OF vineyards in California
CONSIST Of $1,000 acres of table grapes,
-1o,10o acres OF raisin grapes and 10000
acres OF VINE grapes turning over to the
wineries $4,000 tons of grapes If this
estimate Is taken as an average, this, if
turned into syrup, would give 100000
gallons, really small amount to handle
when we see III the 1910 census that the
syrup business runs into 5000. 00G,GoO an
nually 1t would only make a / Der cent
addition, and with the enormous prospects
n export it would probably call for the
planting Of more vineyards instead q
pulling out, which has been pronhesied
AHF manufacture OF grape syrup Is
not novelty, for ii is an established
staple among people from southern E,l.
rope and particularly Of Asia Minor. In
SPAN Il has been manufactured ever since
the culture Of the vine was developed
"a connection with the. manufacture q
sweet vines. In California, for mum
aer q years, grape syrup has been manu-
featured in wineries in connection with
the manufacture Of sweet wines and Is

THE 5uRLEsoN IDEA.

It is out natural that Mir. Burlesoiy should issue statement tavoring the taking over of the telegraph and telephone and cable lines by tue gov- ernment Mir. Burleson is very much like the man at the head of one po- 1idcal branch, who sees greater fruit in Concentration.
 The postoffice department ought to be enough to keep MT. BNrleson busy. It would be if the postoffice were op7 eratad along the same lines that mark the work of American business affairs
 Politics clainours for brings in other tldngs for management because pcii- ties want to rule. Under the presen, conditions a man does not have to asK his congressman or his senator or some other individual If he can get q place with the telegraph or ties phone or cable company. What ne has to do is prove to a business man. agement that he can serve well, aud he will get the place, and advance ment.
 If these lines were taken over the political spells system would be ma terialiy extended. The politician would control several hundred thous- and more men and women The jobs of these would be contingent on the good graces Of certain men in office to get into office later, and naturally there is a centralization of political power that IS bad for any country.
 Besides, there is no reason to 0e- lieve that the government would give the good competitive service that has been the rule before the war We know that these corporations have been handled badly durins tbe

LESSEN RESTRICTION,

The United States Chamber or Commerce, rcpresenting perhaps moro nearly than any other organ" ization the commerce of this coun- try. in session at Atlantic City. asks the government to lessen the re- striction the war has placed On busi- ness as soon as possible
 The American business man ought to have this request granted.
 When war came. and war was new to our business generation, there was no other force that yielded so pliably to all the demands made on 1t than the business concerns of this coun. try. With patriotism in their hearts the American business man dropped s;erf ana -< red into government ser- vice.
 A great many restrictions were placed on business, and they were en" dured for what they represented. Every time the head of some depart ment with newly constituted author ity would say do this, there would be response, and if the head said don't do that, there was also re- sponse
 All this was new to business, put it was carried out in the spirit of the necessity cf winning this great war Hundreds of great business h. stitutions were wholly converted 10 war purposes.
 The government owes it to busi- ness, as well as to the millions of young soldiers who will almost i'm mediateiy be back dependant on busi- ness. to remove all restrictions as readily as 1t is possible to do so. and to tell the American business man the government wants him to settle back into his own lines and under the old conditions at once. not alone as a relief to him, but as a source of renewing business for the millions of soldiers who will be civilians in a little while and therefore wholly de pendant on business activity.
