est from the City of Mexico is that the
Americans there are in great danger
from Mexican mob. and great excitement
prevails. Americans have flocked to the
ambassy for protection. Mexicans have
attack and torn the shields from the L.

tack is made with the full knowledge
and sanction of Huerta, who has in

Differences Between Carranxa and Villa.
Since Carranza's caustic letter to
Secretary Bryan in which he said he
considered the American invasion of
Mexican territory at Vera Cruz, and the
holding of that port, as an attack not
only upon the Mexican government, but
upon the Mexican people, of which he
is the head, and ordering the troops
withdrawn Villa has stated that he will
not join with Huerta in an attack up
on the Americans. This may be the
parting of the ways with the two con-

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING.
Large Attendance Wednesday and Many
Visitors, Including Civil Engineer
Bonner, of Missouia, Present.

There was a large attendance at the
commercial club luncheon Wednesday
at the Imperial hotel, and matters of
general interest were discussed. The
election of officers carried over from
the last meeting, was completed by the
re-eleetion of NJ. Reese Hattabaugh and
w. w Brown as vice-presidents, and
Frank McGrane, DR.. II. j. Smith, John
p. Eimers, j. Frank Sims. F. L. Leon

Bonner, civil Engineer from the forest
headquarters at Missoula, Mont, were
among the visitors from outside points.
Mr. Bonner, who is here looking over
conditions regarding the South Fork
wagon road, which he and Supervisor
Georga Ring went out today to inspect,
gave a very encouraging talk on the
future development of the road. He
said he had no authority to give any
positive assurances as to what his de-
partment would do in regard to future
appropriations, and did not know of any
body who had such authority just at
this time, but in view of the fact that
this project was considered one of the
most important ones now being handled
in northern Idaho by the forest depart
ment. there was every reason for sup
posing that it would be pushed as
rapidly as possible, and that there
would be another liberal appropriation
for the work along about the first OF
July. Mr.. Bonner has shown the kind
est feeling for this project ana mas
been most complimentary in his ex-
pressions regarding the part the citi-
zens of Grangeville have taken IN the
forwarding of the project IL was On
his recommendations after his last Nlslt
here that the additional $5,SOo was sent
here TO augment the road tund OF So'
600 which his department flrst appIo-
priated. which together with the SlZoS
raised here sweled the fund to over
s13 600, The work is now progressing
nicely with fun force of men on the
job.

1t is stated on good authority that
the authorities at Washington have al
ready estimated the number OF troops to
be called at 25o.000. and have prorated
them among the several states practic-
ally in the ratio of population. 1t is
now expected that the president will
issue the call at any hour. IdahoTs num-
Der will be 464, which will not come any
way near satisfying the patriotic spirit
that pervades the people.
The Beginning OF Actual Trouble.
After the refusal of Gen. Huerta to
salute the American flag by the firing
of volley, the Americans discovered a
German vessel in port loaded with ma
chine guns and other munitions of war
for President Huerta. Washington was
notified, and the answer came promptly
back to Rear Admiral Fletcher to
seize the customs house and stop the
delivery of the arms. At 11.30 Tues
day morning, marines were landed, and
