forces defending the border kept a
watchful eye on the situation.
Although the chances that the
rebels would attack the Nac0, Sonora,

more remote, additional American
forces were moved close to that
town. Brigadicr General Frank
s. Cocheu, commanding United States
troops in Arizona, ordered q third

pany Of infantry to Naco from Fort
Huachuca. Ariz.
American army aviators from Fort
Huachuca patrolled the border con-
tinuously yesterday. Previously they
had been making two flights q day
along the international line.
The rebel army encamped to the
south of the, loyal garrison was said
to number 1000 men under General
Ramon r. Yucupicio. Yucupici0 was
not expected to attack Naco with his
present force. inasmuch IS the garri-
son has 1000 or more troops IN COM
mand Of General Lucas Gonzalez and
they are well entrenched. The rebels
had more than 1000 men when they
attacked the Naco garrison April 9th
and were repulsed.

ditions in North Dakota will show
great improvement with the opening
of spring work is made in the month
ly report of the federal labor bureau
for the northwestern states. received
here today.
The demand for farm help is In
creasing but the supply is sufficient
and the next four weeks should see
idle building tradesmen at work. In
dustry throughout the state generally
is employing normal quota OF help.
At Fargo the demand for farm help
was better in March than in February
and several building prospects will be
under way soon. Work on the roads
and highways is expected to demand
much unskilled labor.
A surplus of common labor was
marked at the end of March in Grand
Forks but another month or six weeks
was expected to bring marked i'm
provemcnt. A brisk demand for COM
petent farm help was noted. Rail
roads and other industries were re-
ported as employing normal quotas.
