Attention Motor Vehicle Owners.

Relative to laws governing motor
vehicles, wish to call attention to
those owning same, that they must
have license or receipt for same be-
fore they can lawfully run their cars on
the streets or public highways. Those
operating public motor vehicles for
hire must acquire a chauffer's license

The last legislature by the enactment
of House Bill No. l3l amended the mo-
tor bus law. These amendments bring
taxicabs and automobiles operating
from garages upon call within the def
milton of the term of Common carrier
and require q bond of $4,000 for any
person or concern operating five or less
cars and bond of $4,000 for more than
fivevehicles and makes the violation of
this law misdemeanor. Applications
are to be made through the assessor.
These amenements become effective

The election for the creation and or
ganization of the Grangemont Highway
District, out of portion of the present
Orofino Highway District, resulted in
an almost unanimous vote for the es-
tablishment of the proposed new high
way district, the vote being So for and
. against its creation. The resident
property owners of the new Grange
mont Highway District are interested
in the Improvement and completion, on
good grades, Of the Whiskey Creek
route towards Quartz Creek. This
would give an unusually good road
into Headquarters and would be a
scenic drive for autos to Rich Old
Pierce. A well built road into the
timber belt would stimulate trade from
Orofino and would increase the value
OF all farm property along the route.

agent, Orofino, j. A. Lewis section
foreman, and d. w. Smith, section
hand, of the Orofino section, were in

North Fork Highway Dissolution.

1t is reported that petitions are being
circulated for the dissolution of the
North Fork Highway District 1t is
very apparent that the present High
way District organizations are not sat
isfactory to the taxpayers, and they
are petitioning for transfer back to
county management. The pleas of the
citizens and tax payers for dissolution
of highway districts is an evidence OF
dissatisfaction in highway administra.
tion methods, and, apparently, is al.
most reasonable proof of the rejection
of any proposed bond issue under
highway management

Rose Carnival at Portland.

Portland, Oregon, April lO-Port-
land school children are planning a
Chlldren's Hero Parade as one of the
big events of the Victory Rose Festival
on June IL, II and 13, in which many
OF the men who distinguished them
selves in the recent war will I've hon
ored.
The plan is to have the children of
each grade in each school in Portland
to select western man who has re-
cord of note while in service and then
have the teacher of that respective
grade arrange parade display for this
particular individual
A. NJ. GrilIey, physical director of
the Y. Nj. c. A. is the director in charge
OF parades and when the suggestion
was presented recently, he took it un-
der consideration and it is expected
that the plan will be worked out with
in the next few weeks.
1t is novel suggestion for while the
great snow caps, the mountain ranges,
the scenic monuments, the industrial
features, the natural wonders of the
Northwest have all been worked out at
one festival or another, never before
has there been such a tribute paid to
the fighting men of the country.
Portland's Victory Rose Festival this
year will be novel in more ways than
one and it promises in addition to a
tribute TO returning heroes, monster
display of floral wealth, huge street
carnival and numerous features that
are entirely new to the United States.

 in the strike of the commercial
 telegraphers of the Western Union
 and Postal systems, Percy Thomas.
 vice president of the union, told a
 mass meeting of the strikers to-
 day. Mir. Thomas announced that
 he would go to Atlantic City early
 this week to ask the aid of the
 executive council of the American
 Feoeration of Labor in bringing
 the strikers claims before the
 President.
 He maintained that recognition ot the Electrical Workers union by Post. master General Burleson left Mr 6urleson no alternative but to extend the same recognition to the commer- cial telegraphers MT. Thomas said he would ask the executive council to lay the facts before President Wilson ana that he felt confident the President would recognize the justice of the teiegraphers' demand for recognition or their union and their right to col lective bargaining
 An order was circulated at the meet ing, purporting to have been issued by the Western Union to traffic man. agers and operators. directing them ', accept messages subject to delay on account of the refusal of the railroad telegraphers to handle business for the company When the order was called to the attention of W. N. Fas1- Daugh. vice president of the Western Union, he stated that it was merely q precautionary step and indicated in no way that the company was having any difficulty in handling it's business.
 Everything is moving satisfactof- lly, said MT Fashbaugh, "and this order was merely precautionary and affects only railroad offices. We have been successful in making arrange ments for the handling of all business which ordinarily would go through these offices

 Col. Selah R H. Tompkins of the Sew enth cavalry was in command of the cav airy brigade which crossed at the lords. and Colonel Hadsell was in command Of the infantry. Two armored motor cars crossed the international bridge at 1o:55.

 Brgadier General Erwin refused to comment at the time of the crossing.
 American troops crossed to Mexico to- night to stop Villas rebels from firing further shots into Ell Paso. This was the declaration of Brig Gen. James B. Err win to the Associated Press immediately after issuing the order for the crossing He added emphaticaly that it was not to be an invasion of Mexico: that the sit uation was fully understood by Gen. Francisco Gonzales, and the Carranza of ficials, and that no resistance was antici- pated from the Carranza forces which have been fighting in Juarez.

FIGHTING RESUMED
 IN JUAREz EARLY
 SUNDAY AT FTERNOON
Garrison Commander Killed in Battle, But Rebels Are Repulsed With
 Losses
By Associated Prs,

Juarez, Mexico, June 15.-F1ght-
 ing was resumed in Juarez at 4:4O
 P. m. By o'clock the rifle fire
 was more general than at my
 time last night. Federal troops
 charged the rebels ms they ad-
 vanced down Calie Comercfo, the
 principal business xtreet. repuls-
 ing them as they did Last night.
 This dashing cavalry charge was costly to the federals, however as Colonel John J. Gonzales Escobar, gar rison commander and hero of the early morning battle today, was wounded five times and hurried to El Paso for medical treatment
 Starting just 24 hours after Villa first appeared before Juarez last night the fight tonight swung to the south and was in progress around the abandoned Juarez Agricultural college, where Villa had his severely wounded. As the federals were apparently not expecting an attack before dark, the outer lines of trenches was thinly manned and it was necessary to withdraw toward the town proper, carry Ing their machine guns and boxes of Mau- ser ammunition with them
 Relnforcements were hurried from the flats to the west of the town
 Other endorsements were marched from Fort Hidalgo and engaged the au. enemy.
 After six hours of fighting beginning at midnight, Villas forces slowly began withdrawing from Juarez about o'clock this morning.
 Shortage of ammunition on the part ot Villa s forces coupled with dashing cavalry charge down Commercio street by Colonel Escobar's forces is believed 10 have caused the Villa withdrawal to- ward the eastern suburbs of the town
 Carranzl troops controlled the center of the city early today with cavalry still pursuing Villa.
 The tide of battle flowed for Villa until after o'clock this morning, when the rebel firing died away and retirement was begun with the federals in pursuit.
 Since daylight the firing has been iesultory on both sides.
 Villa troops footed number of stores md houses.
 The federals claim to have 150 Villa lead. 50 prisoners. 10 wounded.
 The federals executed two prisoners.

The landing was made at o,40 o'clock. British summer time. In taking the ground the machine struck heavily and the fuselage plonghed into the sand. Neither of the occupants was injured.
 Much of the flight was made through a fog, with nm occasional drizzle. This hampered the airmen considerably during their journey.
 Captain AIcock explained the silence of his radio instrument dur Ing the trip by saying that the wireless propeller blew of soon after the airplane left New Found land.
 "We were much damned by strong wireless signals not intend- ed for us.- he added.
 When word was received here of the accident to the machine in landing arrangements were made for mechanics to leave London inn mediately to make repairs.
 Word came from Clifden this afternoon that the pilot and the navigator of the biplane were Ieav- ing for Galway, whence Lieutenant Brown decided to travel by train to London, arriving there on Tusday morning. Captain Afcock, however, hoped to be able to fly to London
