WILSON AND LIND CONFER.
Special Representative Sent Back to
Mexico by President.

Pass Christian, Miss.-With the de-
parture late Saturday of the scout
cruiser Chester, bearing John Lind,
the presidents personal envoy, back
to Mexico to continue his observa.
tions of Mexico affairs, the mystery
which has enveloped Mr.. Limbs visit
to President Wilson was only partly
cleared.
Just why the nations chief execu-
tive decided not to permit Mr.. Lind
TO have any Shore leave" and took
upon himself the inconvenience Of
being transhipped four times at sea-
has not been explained. President
Wilson volunteered no explanation,
but one of the suppositions current
is that he did not wish the special
envoy to be subjected to the inquisi-
tion of newspaper correspondents
Another theory is that the president
desired to show Mexico that there Is
no change in the American policy and
no actual interruption of Mr.. Lind's
mission to Mexico.

Sir Lionel Gardens transfer, which
is promotion as far as salary is con.
cerned, although the two legations
possess the same standing in the SER
vice, would have occurred some time
ago except for the fact that the British
foreign Office would not make the
change while the minister was under
fire for the alleged interviews in
which he was made to reflect on the
policy of the United States toward
Mexico.

Government land surveys in the Tan ana valley tributary to Fairbanks now total l9OOOO acres of lands, according tod. w. Barker, special agent of the general land office, who left Fairbanks last Septem ber. Of the eight and one half townships surveyed and plated much is already settled upon for it in- cludes the placer fields es we'll as the lands surveyed for prospective home stead settlers and for farming purposes. Speaking of the agricultural poss ibilit- ies of Alaska, Mir. Barker says that they are enormous, especially in the great valleys of the river systems. The Tanana valley, he believes has a great future for agriculture and stock rais- ing. The silo, he says, has evolved the problem of providing fodder for winter feeding The expense of clearing the land of the stumps and brush at pre- sent is very high, but there are many natural meadows where there are no trees to contend with aud these mead ows extend over large areas.
