the government for the money spent
in the development of the projects.
C. H. Schenk, secretary of the South
side Minidoka Water Users' associa
tion, told the secetary that the diffi
culties of the farmers would be solved
and their dissatisfaction obviated If
the payments on their project were ex.
tended over 25 years or SO years in
stead of, as sow. 10 years. He said
that to repay the government in 10
? early instalments 'would 'work hard

declared his association in every way
was satisfied with the management of
the Reclamation service.

"Do you want to have your project
turned over to yon?" secretary Lane
asked.
Mr. Schenk explained his negative
answer by saying that he did not think
that the community was able or ready
to manage the project: that its mem
bers must first be educated up to a
point where they could undertake an
efficient control.
"That is the most modest statement
that has been made at these hear
ing's," secretary Lane murmured. A
fhuckle went around.
"We want a long period of payment."
Mr. Schenk resumed. "That would
largely solve our problem."

Mr. Rush representing the water
users of the north side of the Mini
doka project, stated that the water
u-ers wanted to take over the com

representative Raker, of California, he
stated that longer time on payments
nould be given. He also complained
that, as things are now. the project
engineers can go ahead with construc
tion whether the water users will or
not "As long as the service has com
plete charge, there will be complaints.''
he said. "Control should be divided
up between the water users' associa

they were all suspicious of one another.
Collecting Snes.
Earl B. Smith, of Yuma, Arizona,
chairman of the executive board, of tha
National Water Users' association, in
which the local associations of some
of the projects are included, while on
the stand, outlined the force in the
hands of the water users' association
to collect payments. The associations
report nonpayment of dues to the pro
ject engineers and the water is shut
off. Mr. Smith said that were the
collection of payments for the govern
ment placed in the association's juris
diction, this same poyer would be em
ployed in collecting them.
Secretary Lane asked if this were not
"high-handed."
rRBSIDKNT RKMITS AX
ARIZONA INDIAN'S FINE
Washington, D. C. May 12. For the
first time since entering the 'white
house, president Wilson has exercised
his authority to pardon or commute
sentences of federal prisoners. Favor
able action was taken on five cases
which were sent to him by the depart
ment of justice, the sentence in each
case being commuted.
In passing upon the petition of
Richard Dickins. an Apache Indian,
president Wilson was required to ex
hibit a knowledge of intoxicating
drinks. He decided that "tizwin" is not
as bad as it sounds, and favored the
Indian, who 'was convicted on charges
of giving "tizwin" to another Indian on
the Fort McDowell reservation, Ariz.
Dickins was convicted in the United
8tates district court at Phoenix last
May, and sentenced to SO days in prison
and a fine of $100. The prison sentence
was made retrocessice from the time of
the man's arrest, so the president has
only the fine to commute.
Clemency was made on the recom-

PARRAL FALLS INTO
HANDS OF REBELS
Federal Are Marching to Chlbuahna,
Accompanied by Most of the Towns
people, Fleeing Prom the Rebels.
Riding everything from burros to
bicycles, 300 residents of Parral are
moving overland with the federal gar
rison of the Chihuahua mining town,
peacefully occupied last week by the
"Constitutionalist" forces.
From Parral to Chihuahua city is a
march of 200 miles, and suffering Of
the townspeople is mingled with the
comedy of their means of transporta
tion, related refugees arriving here to
day. The trip will require a week.
Most of the refugees are residents
who had declared themselves against
the revolution, thus endangering their
safety when the 1200 federal troops
were withdrawn.
v Fixating Bn Route.
Aside from the trials on the women,
and children during the long march,
probabilities are that a battle will re
sult before arrival at the state capital.
Already rumors have gone back to
Parral of fighting in which the many
groups of Insurgents have begun- to
harass the retreating federal column
preliminary to an actual attack. A
large portion of the column is of infan
try, necessitating slow progress, while
the Insurgents axe all mounted and
easily proceed ahead.
Gen. Antonio Rabago, military gov
ernor and commander of the northern
military zone, at Chihuahua city, has
issued a statement explaining the sad
den evacuation of the southern part of
the state. He declares that the Parral
garrison merely will augment that at
the state capital, which is of no more
than 600 men, while another strong
column reported moving north from
Torreon will retake Parral.
American Brings Report.
B. E. Leonard, a young American
who Is master mechanic of a mine at
Parral. arrived here Saturday night
confirming the capture of the town by
the "Constitutionalists." On a motor
cycle he rode all the way to Chihuahua
city, tneeting on the way half a dozen
insurrecto bands, including that of
Villa. All were mobilizing to cut off
the federal retreat.
"Also I passed the federal column on
the march." he said. "There were 1200
infantry, cavalry and IS machine guns.
But the insurgents have as many rapid
firers captured recently from a supply
train together with many brand new
rifles and much ammunition.
"There surely will be a light before
the federals can reach the state capi
tal. Parral was occupied before I left
by 800 rebels under Gen. Monelova
Herrera, who Is recognized as com
manderinchief of the insurgents. There
are about 4000 altogether in the district."
TREE REIN IN
SEIZING MUNITIONS
Drastic measures are to be under
taken by the United States army to
break up the ammunition smuggling
along the Mexican border. Orders
were received by Gen. Hugh L. Scott,
commanding the Second cavalry
brigade, from Brig. Gen. Tasker Bliss
at Fort Sam Houston, instructing the
t-atrol officers not to hesitate to seize
-ms and munitions of war not in the
inda of customs or other public
authorities or under a customs bond
here there is reasonable ground to be
lieve that an attempt is being made to
ship .them to Mexico.
ThlS is the result of the recent de
cision of the United States supreme
court that a mere shipment 'of arms
and munitions of war with intent to
take them into Mexico constitutes a
violation of the joint resolution and
proclamation, regardless of whether
the shipment is part of a military
expedition.
RUSEK STORE AT

Chihuahua City, Mex., May 12.
Refugees arriving here from Jlmencs
say the large mercantile house of
Marcos Rusek, in that place, has been

one of the largest in the state, was
looted less than SO days ago by sup

FORMER MAYOR ARRBSTBD,
RELEASED AND KBAItKESTBD
Antonio Balderrama, former mayor
of Juarez, was arrested Saturday In
that town charged with political of
fences. He 'was released Saturday eve
ning and was rearrested Sunday. On
Monday he was again reported to have
been liberated.
There is a rumor current in Jiiirnc
that changes will be made in the civil
offices there, and some of the present
officeholders will be removed. Mayor
Jose J. Flores has not been advised of
any such contemplated move. Discuss
ing It he said: "I would be very glad
if they would remove me and put some
one else in my place. I have been grant
ed a leave of absence for 20 days, but
not one has been named to take my
place during my absence, and until
someone is appointed, I cannot get the
rest I need. I will not resign, but I
will willingly relinquish the office if
someone else is appointed in my place."

FREE, SAYS COURT
Washington. D. C. May 12. The cus
toms court today decided that Euro
pean nations are entitled to Uia free
entry of wood pulp and paper under
the most favored nation clause of
"Kr commercial ireaues Wltn tne
United States, because the free entry
privilege is granted to Canada under
the only operative clause of the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement
The court also held that the treasury
department had placed a correct inter
pretation on the Canadian reciprocity
act immediately admitting wood pulp
and paper free without reciprocal action
by Canada. Dissenting opinions were
delivered. Norway, Russia, Austria
Hungary and Germany claimed the
right of free entry of wood pulp and
paper from their respective country.
Former president Taft declined to grant
the request and referred the question
to the courts.
It cannot be stated whether the
treasury department or the department
of justice will appeal the case to the

THREE OIL BEARING
STRATA AT ARTESIA
J. T. Parker Says the New Field Is a
Promisins- Oae Artesias Wells
Proawang 00.
Three oil bearing strata are visible
in the oatcroppingg if the Dayton and
Artesia oil field, says J. F. Parker, who
has returned from a trip of inspection,
over the entire New Mexico field and
says that the indications for a good,
steady arcdaeing supply in the new field
is moat promising.
Tha firs oil stratum is 900 to 1000
feet below the surface.. This strata has
been tested and the Brown well, which
is owned by the Pecos Valley Oil com
pany, is pumping 50 barrels a day. The
outcroppings show that the second stra
tum is 2000 feet down and ay belle T
is that this and not the first or third ,
.will be the gusher producing strata, if
one is developed in that field. This first
and peoved strata will produce from
25 to 100 barrels a day by pumping.
The second is down 2000 and the third
is between 28M and 3000 feet down.
The Doheny company, which is repre
sented by C. R. Troxel, is preparing to
sink a -well to the limit, I believe, m
order to ascertain just what the field
contains. This rig, a standard one, must
have cost 16000, and I do not belieo
that the Doheny people will ever stop
at the 1000 or even the 2000 level, fur
thev are after oil in quantities and are
exploring the field for its total possi
bilities. "The strange part of the Artesia-Day-ton
field is that the wells that are now
producing are original artesian, wells
and not oil wells. J. M. Wyatt and
Clarence Pickrell are having a well on
their tract between Dayton and Artesia.
reamed" out and the slush from this well
will burn up three or four feet in the
air when it is lighted. The area of
the field is 300 square miles and then
is oil in this section without a doubt.
In addition to beinc a new oil producrng
district, the section is one of the richest
agricultural districts I have ever seen,
not excepting the 1 Paso valley."
