Orme, a Retara Fran Wukhwiw,
Declares Salt Klrer Valley Farmers
Will Get Fair Trratmeat.
Pheonix, Ariz., May 23. "It is my
belief that the farmers under the Salt
river irrigation project are not going
to be compelled to pay the contsniction
cost that is assessed against them by
tht- reclamation service. They will
pa only the original estimated cost,
or the actual physical value of the
project.
"Every reclamation project is going
to be turned oTer to the farmers
under it as soon as they show them
selves capable of administering it
properl. The Lane administration be
lie es in home rule."
These statements were made by
John P Orme, president of the Salt
Rier Valley Water Users association,
upon his return from Washington,
where he attended the hearings before
Franklin K Lane, secretary of the In
terior. Capt. George D. Christy, legal
adviser of the association, was also at
the hearings.
"The hearings were fair from every
standpoint," Mr. Onne said. "Secre
tary Lane evinced a most gratifying
intention of getting at the real facts."
"We asked that the cost of our pro
ject be investigated and I believe an
investigation will be made- At most
the farmers will not pay for more
than the proper cost of the project."

REBELS MOVING TO
ATTACK CHIHUAHUA
Three Large Force Ready for Assault
ob Capital; Americas Tells of Bat
tle of GaaHneevl.
"On to Chihuahua," is the battle cry
of the revolutionists south of Chihua
hua, American passengers on the Mexi
can Central train Thursday night say.
Pancho Villa Is at Santa Rosalia with
1300 men; Chao is at Parral with 1800,
and Urbina h as 1500 at Jimenez and
at his ranch near there. The railroad is
being repaired as far as Ortiz to permit
the rebels to move northward toward
Chihuahua, where the attack is to be
made as soon as a leader is decided
upon. All three of the southern Chi
huahua leaders are hankering after the
commander's job, the passengers from
the south say, and Carranza has been
appealed to name a man to take the
command of the troops in the entire
i. state. CoL Eduardo Hay, who was here
recently, has been suggested as a com
promise candidate for this lob.
me troop trains which lelt Ihlhua-
hua Wednesday were not in command
of Rabago, as was first reported. A
colonel under Kabago had command of
five trains carrying 300 federals each,
with machine guns, artillery and ammu
nition to proceed against Villa. But the
commander of tEe federals did not
know the collective strength of the reb
els in the south, the passengers say.
One of the American refugees, who
rode horseback from Durango to Parral
and arrived in 1 l'aso Thursday even
ing, says that all of Chihuahua south of
the capital and the country between
Torreon and Chihuahua is alive with
Madensta feeling. Even the rancheros
and the Indians are for the revolution
ary cause and against Huerta.
The rebels under Urbina took Guan
acevi, Durango, on May 5, looted the
stores and captured all of the volun
teer guards, sacked the town, takinsr
even the riding boots and-suit of one of
the American passengers who came out
Thursday evening The town was de-
fended for an hour and a half he sajs,
But Urbina had 500 oDnosine the volun-
teer guard o f 150, and they were forceu
to surrender. The entire town was
to surrender. The entire town was
looted. 14 wagons being used to carry j
off the Innt What fnrt.inn. ..1H
off the loot. What furniture could not
be carried away was smashed, especial
ly in the American homes. An American
woman who interceded with Urbina to
spare a relative who had been arrested,
was insulted by the rebel commander,
who threatened to expose her to the
assaults of his soldier. The American
escaped on horseback and rode over
land to Parral. as the rebels had him
on the conscripted list. A peace en
voy was sent out from Guanacevl to
treat with Avleta, another rebel leader,
who was attacking Durango. Although
a former friend and a companion of
Avieta, he was taken out and shot, de
spite his protests that he was only on
a mission of peace and after he had
begged to be spared because of his aged
mother, whom he suDDorted.
The American predicts that the fed
eral column which left Chihuahua Wed
nesday -will be defeated by the supe
rior force of the rebels, and that the
next big battle will b at Chihuahua.

OPENING COUNTRY
WEST OF SOGDRRQ
New Eoad Into Rich Dis
tricts Prosperous Before
Silver Dropped.
Lake Valley. N. St. May 23. In the
foothills of the southeastern slope of
the Black range mountains, because of
its nearness to the Mimbres river.
known locally as the Mimbres range
the old mining town sprang into exist -ance
in the early eighties. It stands on
a ledge of lime rock that slopes gently
towards the east and on account of this
solid formation and its natural drain
age is one of the healthiest towns in
the whole state, its altitude being lit
tle over 6000 feet.
There are very few shade -trees In
Lake Valley, water being rather scarce,
all being taken from the chamber of
workings of one of the old mines and
run by gravity in pipes for domestic
use, but there is plenty of it under the
ground, for at the Good Luck mine,
only six miles away, six men axe em
ployed night and day keeping the wa
ter out of the lower levels of this mine.
which is rich in both silver and lead
In the early eighties Lake Valley was
a busy place, the Bridal Chamber mine
employing several nunareu men aim in
four years it added over $6,000,00u to
the metallic wealth of the nation in
silver and gold. That was during the
time silver was worth $1.20 an ounce
Lake Valley was then the shipping and
forwarding point for the Kingston and
Hillsboro mines.
Kingston at that time had over 2000
people in it. For over two years it
was the liveliest mining town in the
whole of New Mexico. Most any day
three to four stages left Lake Valley
loaded full of miners and prospectors,
all bound for Kingston and the road
lined with many more on foot, as
Kingston gave work to all who came
in those days. The old mill of the Lake
Valley Mining company still stands.
also some of the houses occupied by
the miners and the company office and
boarding house, covering altogether
some five acres of ground.
The principle industry which now J
keeps up the town is sheep and cattle j
and the range at the present time was
never in as good shape. The cattle
and sheep are all fat and a good crop
of both is assured. Latham Bros., wt'o
are the largest sheep owners in this
locality and run some 15.000 head of
sheep, have lambed some 90 percent in
crease from their ewes and a good calf
crop is also being dropped. The hea
snow which fell up in the mountains
above Hillsboro on the upper slope of
the Perche, Animas and Polomas ris
ers did not lay on the ground long
enough to weaken the stock around
Lake Valley; instead it all soaked into
the ground and brought early grass
just what the cattlemen and sheep men
i wanted.
Twenty miles -west on the top of the
Mimbres range are-located the grand
Central mines, discovered some 30 ears
ago. An English mining syndicate built
a rohd from Lake Valley to the mines
and hauled over it some 300.000 pounds
of machinery and did some $50,000
worth of development work on the
property. The road which they built
cost over $40,000, over eight miles of ,

road is in good repair now. From the
rim of this crest along this road !or
seven miles one of the grandest pana

to the Palisades along the Hudson in
New York state, which is one of the
greatest sights near New York city,
the latter would sink into insignifi
cance; it is UKe comparing a Rio

NORTHERN PRESBYTERIANS
BAR WOMEN AS DEACONS
Atlanta, Ga., May 23. The Northern
assembly of Presbyterians, in session
here, refused to amend the constitution
so that women may be deacons. Chi
cago was selected as the meeting place
of that body in 1914.
The northern assembly refused to
amend the- constitution so that 'women
may be deacons. Chicago was selected
as the meeting place of that body in
1314.
At the closing hour of the southern
assembly a plan designed to unite all
branches of the Presbyterian church by
organization of a deliberate body to
be known as the "greater Presbyterian
congress" was launched. It is planned
to model this body after the congress
of the United States, with senate and
house of representatives, supreme in
the authority of affairs of Presbyter
ianlsm. Action was deferred until next
year.
A dramatic scene occurred In the
southern assembly when Dr. Wm. Mc
Pheeters, of the Columbia Theological
seminary, Columbia, S. C. offended by
what he termed "steam fbller" methods
in connection with the assembly's de
cision not to withdraw from the Fed
eral Council of Churches of Christ in
America, left the meeting.
The united assembly before It ad
journed took what was characterized
as "the greatest forward step in the
history of the church," when It per
fected the organization of the "mission
ary and efficiency committee. One of
its chief duties will be to act as a
clearing house for all church funds.

EXPOSURE OF
VICE CONDITION
New York, May 23. White slavery
and prostitution in the city of New
York are firmly established upon a
commercial basis and those engaged

thoroughly organized, according to the
report of George J. Kneeland. of the
bureau of social hygiene, of which
John O. Rockefeller, Jr, is chairman.
JOSN
ROCKEFELLER,
The investigators of -the bureau
found that th.it the great preponder
ance of women leading lives of pros
titution came from the ranks of those
engaged in unskilled labor. The bureau
reports that the wholesale white slav
ers ply their trade not only in -New
