INTERVENTION AND ITS COST.
Intervention in Mexico is not in
evitable. It may come. The situa
tion is critical and the foreign na
tions may not consent to much fur
ther delay in aggressive "action by the
United States, but each day’s delay
encourages t’ e' hope that some way
may be found to make intervention
unnecessary. The diplomatic corps in
Mexico City is unanimous in the opin
ion that only intervention by the
United tSates can save Mexico and
that such drastic action is inevitable.
President Wilson fully appreciates
the gravity of the situation and is
bringing every pressure to bear to
induce Huerta and his supporters to
join with the Washington authorities
in saving Mexico from anarchy.
The cost of intervention would be
tremendous. Americans are cock-sure
of the ability of our army and navy
to take possession of Mexico in short
order and restore peace. There is no
doubt that victory would follow our
arms, but students of military affairs
predict that it would mean a warfare
extending over a dozen years and call
for the services of 500,000 men. It
would cause another heavy drain on
the credit of the world.
WILL SUE TO CANCEL
ROAD FRANCHISE
Says the Juneau Empire: District
Attorney Rustgard today stated that
he would begin a civil suit immedi
ately on behalf of the government
for the cancellation of the "Bracket
Road” franchise, controlling the wag
on road right of w y between Skag
way and the international boundary
line at White Pass. It is represent
ed that the British Columbia govern
.ment is prepared to build a wagon
road to the boundary line that will
connect with a similar road between
Skagway and that point. The dis
trict attorney says that he has been
carrying on negotiations with the
Wh:te Pass and Yukon, who bought
the franchise when they built the
railroad, for the cancelling of the
franchise, but that the company has
failed to relinquish its claim hence
the suit will be instituted.
Boys Find $20,000.
CALUMET, Mich., Nov. 26.—Two -
12-year-old Lake Linden boys, Will
Leelere and Joe Tivmblait, who found
a fortune of $20,000 and have been ;
spending portions of it unknown to
their parents, have lost their treas
ure trove. A year ago the boys, (
playing on the site of the old Ben- j
nallack market, uncovered an iron |
box containing over $20,000 in gold ;
and silver coins. They hid the box
and since that time have been dip- 1
ping into it whenever they wanted |
spending money. A few days ago,
suspecting that some one else had j
found the hiding place of the box, i
i
they buried it beneath the Houghton
Douglas falls. Today, when called to
account for having expensive play
things in his possession, one of the
boys told his parents of the find.
When they went to get the box it was
gone.
Police Cover Risque Posters.
CHANUTE, an., Nov. 26.—Musical
comedy posters or other glaring bill
board scenery displaying female fig
ures in any costume not “decently
complete’’ were placed under a ban
here today by the city administra
tion. Members of the police depart
ment went about with brush, paste
and plain white paper, covering those
portions of posters not properly drap
ed. Three revivals are under way
in Chanute churches. The action of
the council is regarded as growing out
of the religious meetings.
Captain Kerwin, of Fort Seward,
has been transferred to San Francis
co, where he has been appointed as
sistant to Constructing Quartermas
ter Col. Williamson.

end of the Valdez dock last night by
some malicious person who untied the
ropes which held the boat to two de
tached piling. At 8 o’clock last night
the boat was all right, Mr. H. J. Har
yey, the owner, remaining on the boat
until that time, but when he returned
this morning to his craft he found
that someone had untied the bow
line, which caused the boat to foul
and sink. Mr. Harvey says that he
will willingly pay $20.00 reward for
the information leading to the arrest
Of the person or persons who turned
his boat loose, and will offer the
same amount for information leading
to the arrest and conviction of any
one turning any small launch loose
Maliciously.
Magistrate Pauli, of Fairbanks,
lined George Smith $100 for assault
and battery and attorney Stevens, who
defended him, was so surprised at
the verdict that he gave expression
to a few words which the magistrate
believed reflected on him and he im
posed a fine of $10 on the attorney,
for contempt of court. His fine was
remitted but that Imposed upon the
miner was made to stick.
