THE DEVELOPMENTS IN MEX
ICO.
Patience has been trenching
closely upon its limits in the na
tional capital for some; weeks ov
er the Mexican situation, but the
reward must, be satisfactory to
all Americans. Huerta, with a
show of restraining his indigna
tion and assuming an air of
friendly tolerance toward the Un
ited States, has nevertheless
cooled down perceptibly and,
while the mission of Envoy Lind
appears to have been unsuccess
ful in actual accomplishment of
its purpose, it has been in fact a
big diplomatic achievement. It
has resulted in an indefinite
postponement of all talks of in
tervention and has aroused in
congress a commendable spirit of
loyalty to the administration.
President Wilson’s message to
congress has done much to clear
away all differences, lie was
criticised severely by some of his
political opponents for his fail
ure to announce his policy toward
Mexico. Developments show 1 hat
nothing could have been gained
by an earlier announcement and
his report of all the details of the
negotiations between I he two na
tions has removed all objections
to his course. It is now clear
that the sending of Mr. Lind to
Mexico was neither a bit of ill
temper nor a happy thought on
the part of Mr. Wilson, but the
first step in a reasoned-out pol
icy. Ear from seeking to im
pose our solo will on the Mexi
can, it now appears that the ad
ministration at Washington has
kept official foreign opinion in
touch with its plans, so that Mr.
Lind went to Mexico on a mis
sion which is in I ho knowlcu^c
of other governments. The for
oign governments, instead of be
ing incensed at the course of
American diplomacy, are show
ing that I hey approve President
Wilson’s course and they have
made it plain to Huerta that he
need not look to any of them ioi
encouragement.
The situation today is far from
satisfactory, hut there is noth
ing particularly dangerous in it.
The position of the United Stales
has been made, plain. Our len
der of friendly offices has been
rejected and President. Wilson
has adopted the only course op
en by urging all Americans In gel
out of Mexico and declaring in a
rigid enforcement of the neutral
ity laws. That loaves I Inf Mex
icans to light out their own trou
bles. It leaves Huerta free lo
demonstrate whether lie can make
good his boast of ability to re
store order and provide tor an
honest election in October. The
United Stales can assume the
role of interested spectator, with
(he assurance that it will have
the support of foreign powers in
Jliis course—Tacoma Tribune.
IN SUPPORT OF NIULHALL.
Marlin M. Mulhali, unquestion
ably did a lot of plain and laucy
lying when he made his famous,
or notorious, dxposeof the oper
ations of the “insidious lobby”
at Washington, but, in spite of
many cnnllicls in his ■ testimony,
much of if was of the documen
tary brand which is difficult to
counteract.
But Mulhali has been vindicat
ed, in a large measure, by James
A. Emery, the acknowledged chief
counsel of the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers. Mr. Em
ery spends most of his time at the
national capital. The fact of it
self leads illuminating cqlor to
the Mulhali charges, showing
that the chief attorney of the as
sociation radically made his
headquarters at the seat of fed
eral government. Whatever the
country may think of Mulhali, it
will place a reasonable measure
of belief in Emery's testimony.

WHY NOT INVEST YOUR MONEY
AUBURN itAL ESTATE
• , • « , i V . - • « <■
The city of AUBURN is situated Half-way be
tween the two great commercial centers, Seattle
and Tacoma, on the new Interurban Railroad,
360 acres of fine, level land three-fourths of a
mile west of Auburn has just been platted into
five-acre tracts and placed on the market. The
soil is rich and is suitable for raising any crop.
The great million-dollar freight terminal which
the Northern Pacific Railroad is constructing at
Auburn will make Auburn a most important rail
road center, busy and prosperous, and give em
ployment to thousands of people. Its monthly
payroll of thusands of dollars will make garden
products necessary to supply its wants.
The price of these tracts is $500.00 to S700.00.
A small payment down and balance on terms to
suit.
Let us select the best unsold tract for you and if
you are not suited, you may exchange for any un
sold tract of equal value.

NIATANUSKA FAVORED.
The news contained in yester
day’s dispatcher conveying the
information that the Bering river
coal has failed to stand the lest
applied by the United Slates navy,
naturally leaves the Malanuska
fields as the sole source of fuel
supply in Alaska for warships.
The importance of this fact can
not lie overestimated. If means
that Resurrection hay will he the
site of the naval coaling station,
as well as the chief naval point
in Alaska.
We do 'not wish In appear so
petty as to boast over the fact
that the Bering river coal is not
adapted to the uses of the navy.
Looking at it from a broad stand
point, it is a regrettable fact, and
however much Seward may be
benelitted by the finding, if is
nevertheless to be deported, from
the standpoint of Alaska as a
whole.
II has long ht'en generally
known that (he eoal in Hie Ber
ing river Helds contain smaller
veins and the product, when min
ed, appears like screenings. In
the Malanuska fields the veins
are large and strong and the
coal may lie taken out in massive
lumps. Coal that was mined by
frost and associates in 10(10. now
lying on a dump, retains its sub
stance and resists the elements
of erosion to a marked degree.
It is just the character of Un
coal required by the navy-sol
id, firm and lumpy—and contains
according to tesl-s applied, a suf
ficient percentage of fixed car
bon to render it first rank for
steaming or fuel purposes.—
