Valley Became American Soil

but the cavalry on the American
right threatened the American para
train. This was ne. by n section
Of Ringgold's battery. and q prompt
flank movement BY the 3rd and 9th
infantry which placed themselves be-
tween the cavalry and the tram.
Waving their lances the cavalry
charged the American line. but were
met by q volley Of musketry and
shells from Ringgold's battery which
drove them back In confusion.
On the left Of the American line
the enemy artillery was doing some
execution, and Duncan's battery was
replying With terrible effect. The
grass was fired by wadding from the
American guns, the northeast wind
carrying dense masses OF smoke over
the Mexican lines.
The artillery duel continued with
cut cessation from 5 TO I p. m and
under the cover Of the smoke and
heavy artillery fire, a movement
was started on the right to OFT
flank the enemy. Ringgold's battery
and the is-pounders we're pushed
forward toward the enemy's left
flank, and the tth infantry moved
forward to their support. At the
same time General Arista moved his
right flank forward, hut under the
cover Of the smoke Duncan's battery
was rapidly swung 70 the left, de-
bouching within 200 yards Of the
enemy's right flank and poured in
an en~fiiading fire, which threw the
entire Mexican line into confusion.

shell which the faltering infantry
ranks could not Withstand.
The Mexican commander could not
understand the extrsne mobility Of
the American artillery, which was
Unanswered with almost the rapidly
OF cavalry. His Wv artillery, placed
in the line Of battle, moved in con-
formity with the movements Of the
line Of infantry. The American guns
were constantly changing POSITIONS,
earring death into the center and
flanks, meeting every move Of in
fantTy or cavalry with a storm OF
she'll or ~grapeshot.
DuncaI's prompt and brilliant
maneuver which placed his battery
on tire right flank Of the Mexican
line, was the crowning strategical
achievement Of the day. giving TO
the American forces a decisive vic
tory.
American losses were 3 killed and

Major Ringgold. whose battery was
an important factor in winning the
victory. American forces engaged

Mexican Version of the Battle

and Mexican wounded were taken
back to Point Isabel.
Mexican Version Of the Battle
Mexican historians agree il was
the superiority Of the American srtil-
llery that opened the way for Taylor's
f! army through Palo Alto. A Mexican
army officer, who participated in the
battle. says:
aThe artillery Of the Americans,
much superior 10 ours, made horrid
ravares In the ranks Of the Mexican
army. The soldiers yielded. not
overwhelmed in q combat in which
they might deal cut the death which
they received-not in the midst oil
the excitement and ~gallantry which
the ardor OF a battle brings forth,
but in n fatal situation I'm which they
we're killed with impunity, and deci-
mated in cold blood.
The action was prolonged for
whole hours under such unfortunate
auspices, and the slain increased
every minute. The troops. ut last
tired OF being slaughtered for no
use. demanded with q shout TO be led
on the enemy with the bayonet. for
they wished TO fight hand to hand
and to die like brave men.
"Arista finally ordered the charge
they had eraved. - Our troops be-
ing disconnected. trampled on each
other, and did not come up to the
enemy, but passed within pistol shot
of the batteries (Duncan's), which
broke them, destroyed them. and
obliged them to retire by the left Of
cur line or battle. What contributed
most effectively TO produce this bad
result was that instead OF forming the
army in columns to approach the
enemy. they advanced in line.
Fortunately the Americans did not
avail themselves. nor scarcely notice
the disorder in our force, 70. ut this
time night had completely closed IN
'The Mexican army passed the
night sad and dispirited. There com
menced 70 be eredenee given to ru-
mors Of treason"

COMMUNITY MENACE

IF the fruit industry is worth any
thing to the country, it SHOULD
be cared for and nourished by the
country. The production of fruit
in Benton county amounts to abou,
one-half of the value of all its agri.
cultural products.
This year from apples alone, it is
estimated that from $25,00O.O0 to
$50, 100000 worth of cullage will oc.
cur from San Jose scale. This
district was exceptionally free from
San Jose scale until the last few
years, but a most conservative es-
innate is that there has been al
least four times as much San Jose
scale this year than ever before.
1t is vital to the life of the coun-
ty that dormant sprays be used
for San Jose scale. The growers
must appreciate the great need for
care and painstaking application of
the preventative sprays.
1t is true that the state law pro.
vides for the condemnation of pro-
perry for disinfection, but it takes
five years from the time of confis-
cation before the county can real
lie on the property and in the
meantime the county will be put to
great expense. Last year the
county horticulturist tried pulling
some of the trees in the neglected
orchards, but this process costs
10 cents tree and it is necessary
to get the owners concent before
it can be done.
About one-third of the trees in|
the district were not sprayed this
year. If all of the owners cooper
ate, it will still take county APP
preparation of about 100000 to|
care for neglected orchards. Butt
If the fruit industry is to he saved
steps must be taken for the eradi-
cation of San Jose scale.

VOTE REPUBLICAN

NEXT Tuesday, every citizen vii
~ have an opportunity to expires.
himself at the polls in local, state
and national government. Our
forefathers ordained that elector-
al privileges composed one of tn,
fundamental principles of American
government. If one is a good
American, one should vote. It is
not so important how one votes as
that one votes in order to insure
true representative government in
all of its phases.
However, under the leadership OF
the Republican party, prosperity
has flourished for the last eight
years. True, farm relief is peril
nent in certain sections of the
country, but it is not party issue
because the Republican party is
much better situated to arrange adj
equate and permanent relief in
satisfactory form than the Demo-
cratic party. Relief will come from
the party with the organizing abil-
ity.
Certain Democrats, who have
toured this section of the country,
have claimed that the tariff was
not an issue in this campaign. Yet
Governor Smith, himself, upheld
the Underwood tariff and during
the last Democratic administration
almost everything produced in the
state of Washington was on the
free list. With credit extended as
it is today, it is a dangerous thing
to disrupt present law. J.
In addition to an excellent re-
cord, the Republican party has had
the wisdom to choose a statesman,
gentleman and business man to
head their ticket, Herbert Hoover.
Perhaps not practical politician
with brown derby and cigar,
yet man who has succeeded at
highly technical profession; man
who has quietly and efficiently
fed world during a great crisis;
man who has built up the field
of commerce while member of the
last two Presidents cabinets.
We live in an age of swift me-
chanical development; an era Of
experiment and its practical re-
lationship to the commerce of the
world. What finer type of presi-
dent could we have than a man
who an engineer himself and
familiar with the commerce of the
world is not only internationally
minded, but who understands our
specific industrial problems at
home.
Why vote the Democratic ticket
for uncertainty?
