SNAKE LAKE PARK
WAS NOT DECIDED

Snake lake, which citizens had
supposed now belonged to the
park board, has really never been
turned over, and the park board
will meet with the owners next
week to see whether it is to be or
not.
The park board had a verbal
agreement on the matter, but the
deeds were not given. Now a
deed has been sent in, but 1t does
not coincide with the former
agreement, but asks that. the
park board Immediately do $3,-
900 worth OF Improvement to Inn
prove real estate values and then
forever free the adjacent property
from street assessments.
The board does not like the
changes in the original agree
ment.

CHITTYSTONE RIVER, Alas
ka, Aug. 10, via messenger to ca
BILE office at Mccarthy, Aug. 20,
EVERY day more strongly comes
the conviction that it is necessary
to be right ON 19s ground and
talk directly to the men who have
failed, as well as to the men who
have succeeded, II one Is to know
the truth of the Shushanna gold
fields.
Here at Chittystone river ]
have talked with H. T. Staffholt,
who tells me that the strike is a
big one. With him are Ira Parker
and Ben Kennio. They offer con-
firmation: They say prospectors
have found color ON grass roots
on gravel hills, and that pay has
been found on Ave creexs In the
new diggings.
He's Hotel Keeper.
Then I learn that Staffholt Is a
hotel keeper at Chitina-that ev-
cry man travelling the trail to the
diggings pays tribute to him, and
/ am forced t. the conclusion that,
perhaps, Staffnolt is exaggerating,
and Parker and Kennio, his COM
panions, not unmindful of the in
terests of their friend.
1t has come to me, too, that a
very large number of those who
have been most enthusiastic have
had something to do with road
houses, transportation lines and
other enterprises that must grow
and prosper IL a large amount of
gold is taken out of the ground
or, and here's the point, II num-
Der OF people come in from the
outside with large rolls of either
American or Canadian money.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-(By
United Press. Peace is near at
hand in Mexico. Latest advices
received from Mexico City today
indicate that Huerta is wavering
and will probably accept Ameri-
can mediation within the next "a
hours. The president has acqui-
esced in Huerta's request for fur
ther delay with the proviso that
his Mexican message to congress

posals are accepted. 1t is off,
cial1y stated that the administra-
tion will fulfill Lind's latest sug-
gestions IL acceptable to Huerta.
Huerta has not been asked to re-
sign. Wilson only asks that he
will retire after HIS successor has
been chosen after a genuine elec-
tion.
Postponement of the presi-
dents address practically amounts
to an ultimatum giving Huerta
twenty-four hours in which to de-
eide. The administration has
learned that the request for more
time has come directly. from
Huerta himself. Advices say that
Lind, O'Shaugnessy, Huerta, For
eign Minister Gamboa, are con-
ferring in the palace and 1t is
generally believed that the ac-
ceptance to Lind's proposals, per-
haps slightly modified, Will be the
outcome. Lind has postponed his
departure Indefinitely.
Tumulty announced a hasty
change in the program at II
o'clock. The president had been
expected to deliver the message
to congress at 8 o'clock this aft
ernoon.
