LINES OF LEAST RESISTANCE.
Hi
mm-
i Many youths are trained along the
lines at least resistance. Their careers
'are watched so that they may not run
Wgainst obstacles and disappointments

Set all the money, clothes. Idling,
pleasures they want without making
jn single effort to possess them. “We
want John to have a good time now,
*6r after while he may not have it,"
Is the philosophy upon which many
parents act It is great folly. The
<boy who Is put on the lines of least
resistance and meets with few if any
Adversities, gathers little strength of
mind or character. There Is no glid-
ing forward. There is no step in ad-
* [Tance that does not Involve an effort
fit jThe boy whose path is made smooth
tod easy for him is like the pupil In
school who studies arithmetic with a
*sy. He got his lessons, but he died,
at last in an infirmary. Just mark it
down, oh rich and loving parent that
your boy, raised in ease and comfort
end with every advantage ready at
hand, provided by your bounty, will
not amount to a hill of beans out in
the world, where heroism is In de-
mand and true worth is the test of
manhood.

Orozco 8aya Final Attack Will Bo
Made Upon Arrival of General
Blanca. Federals Are Bottled.
El Paso, Tex., Feb. 8.—A skirmish
between Orozco’s insurrectos and a
troop of Federal cavalry and a com-
pany of infantry took place on the
banks of the Rio Grande, one mile
northwest of El Paso, Tuesday after-
noon, and afforded a thrilling spec-
tacle for thousands of Americans who
congregated on the foothills and house-
tops, less than a mile from the battle-
ground. v ,
About 200 shots were exchanged and
the Federals retreated in good order
to the Juarez barracks. The insur-
rectos to the number of about 300
swarmed along the foothills skirting
the river Hke ants. They advanced
as the Federals retreated and when
the firing had ceased came down to
the water’s edge in squads of twenty-
five and drank deeply of the muddy
waters of the river.
It is sthted that preparations have
been made by the combined insurrecto
forces Cor an assault upon Juarez
some time after midnight.
Both sides are preparing for a de-
cisive engagement.
Residents of Juarez are greatly ex-
cited over the belief that Orozco,
Blanco and Al&nias are at the very
doors of the city.
The banks have rushed their money
and valuables te El Paso ami the Fed-
eral forces are preparing for a vig-

Three hundred insurrectos undeT
Delgado prepared their supper on the
scene of the skirmish line without
molestation. The belief prevails there
will be an attack upon Juarez soon
by the combined forces of Orozco,
Btanoo, AJanias and Delgado.
4A aide to CapL Delgado states that
be engagement was nothing more than
a skirmish.
He said the Insurrectos were com-
pelled to go to the river for water for
themselves and horses, and being de-
tected, were attacked by the Fedemls,
who endeavored to drive them back
.without success.
He says all the insurrecto forces in
Northern Chihuahua are gathering
here for an assault upon Juarez, and
the assault Will begin just as soon as
the forces are joined.

WILEY OROZCO IS A MYSTERY
’''
Having Juarez Within His Grasp Several
Days, He Makes No Attempt to
Take Possession.
El Paso, Feb. 7.—As long ago as
last Friday Orozco, the Mexican rebel
bad Juarez within his grasp, and was
seemingly aware of the situation. Aft-
er Sunday’s battle be withdrew.
His demonstrations against the city
and his frequent warnings of the hour
he intended to attack are believed
merely to have been a scheme to
cause Rabago to abandon Oases
Grandes and hasten northward with
reinforcements and to cause the dis-
patch of other troops from Chihuahua.
Once these soldiers are in Juarez they
are practically bottled up end can not
return northward without the possi-
bility of sustaining heavy losses.
The town of Casas Grandes with its
population of abouit 600 and its val-
uable loot is now without a garrison to
defend it and is so isolated that bo
troops can be sent except across coun-
try to be harassed and probably cut
to pieces by the rebels while on the
march.
It is claimed, also that the demon-
stration against Juarez was to bring
about the withdrawal of Federal
troops from the lower provinces for
the purpose of sending them to Juarez
and that the Insurrection which has
been threatened at other points will
quickly break out when the troops
have departed.
The long expected Impending
conflict before Juarez commenced Sun-
day morning. Just before dawn sig-
nal fires blazed on the bills eouth of
Juarez for ten minutes and were then
extinguished.
It was the signal of the Insurrectos
that a battle was about to begin, and
soon after sunrise heavy firing mark-
ed where Orozco engaged the forces
of Gen. Rabago, which were coming to
the relief of Juarez.
Gen. Rabago was coming into Juarez
from Oasas Grandes with a troop train
carrying 350 men and 220- horses.
Nineteen kilometers east of Juarez the
insurectos ditched the train and open-
ed fire on the Federal troops as they
detrained. The fighting began near
Blauche, a station of the Mexican
Northwestern Railway, seventeen
miles south of El Paso, and near where
that road crosses the line of the Mex-
ican Central.
Rabago rallied his men and repulsed
the insurrectos, who withdrew only to
renew the fighting within a short tme.
The fighting continued ait ntervals all
day. Rabago found defenses for bds
men In the town of Bauche from which
the insurrectos failed to dislodge them.
Rabago began the march to Juarez,
flgbtng as he went, but the insurrectos
dogged his footsteps and kept up an
intermittent fire.
After outgeneraling and outfighting
Orosco and Ms forces at Bauche, Ool-
Rabago of the Mexican army, who, ac-
cording to Insurrecto advices, was an-
nihilated at Casas Grandes two weeks
His regiment numbers 800 men, in-
cluding cavalry, infantry and light ar-
tillery.
Gen. Navarro is approaohing Juarez
from Chihuahua, his (train being pre-
ceded by a construction train, which is
repairing the trank and bridges de-
stroyed by Orozco. It was expected
that he would reach Juarez Sunday
night but as the arrival of Rabago re-
lieves that place, Navarro irlll prob-
ably try to intercept Orosoo’s band.
Accompanying Rabago’s command
when it reached Juarez was a large
crowd of women and children and a
mule pack train loaded with supplies,
arms and ammunition, and both men
and mules appeared to be exhausted.
The repulse of Orozco and the relief
of Juarez appear to have given a se-
rious blow to the revolutionists,
and the crowd of provisional Govern-
ors and lesser civil and military offi-
cials under Madero who have been
making their headquarters here will
probably-scatter.
The net result of a battle at Bauche
between Orozco and Rabago was two
killed and five wounded among the
insurrectos. The Federal loss can not
be learned, as they carried their
wounded with them, but it was report-
ed that 170 had been killed-
Puerto Cortez, Honduras, Feb. 6.—
In the event of the failure of Gen.
Manuel Boirila, leader of the revolu-
tionists, and President Davila to agree
to peace negotiations as proposed by
the United States, a decisive battle
probably will be fought this week at
Pimieto, twenty-six miles south o
San Pedro Sula. Hostilities in the
northern part of Honduras have
ceased, .pending the definite reply o
Gen. Bonilla to the American proposal.
The American gunboat Wheeling
left here this morning for Ceiba, where
Gen. Bonilla is ill, to get the revolu-
tionary leader’s reply to the peace
proposal, which was submitted to him
Friday by Commander Davis of the
Tacoma.
Gen. Carlas, Governor of San Pe-
ddro, is gathering Government forces
at Pimlento, and is understood to have
1,500 men and five field pieces.
Ten Deethe From Explosion.
Marquette, Mich.: In one of the
most disastrous explosions ever oc-
curring in Upper Michigan, ten men
met instant death at the plant of the
Pluto Powder Company, in the out-
skirts of Iehpeming, late Monday aft-
©room. About 1,000 pounds exploded.
Only twenty minute* before the die
aster 5,000 pound* of the explosive
had been removed, otherwise the
havoc would have been much greater.
As it was, the plant was little dam-
aged and the chock felt in Ushpeming
was hardly perceptible. ’Windows at
Winthrop, a mile away, however, were
broken.

Reclamation Bill Reported.
Washington: The House committee
on irrigation, of which Representative
Smith of Texas is the ranking Demo-
cratic member, reported favorably the
bill increasing from ten to fifty years
the period fo whicn power from rec-
lamation dam projects may be leased.
This bill was reported out of the com-
mittee at the instigation of Repre-
sentative Smith because the people of
El Paso are anxious to utilize the
big Texas-New Mexico dam for power
to operate an electric system from
Engle to El Paso. In the Senate a
similar bill was Introduced by Sen-
ator Bailey, but this bill is labeled
as being Introduced “by request.” Its
success in the Senate can not now be
forecasted.
