Better Spirit Toward Americans.
Acting Secretary OF State Robert
Lansing announced today that a better
spirit toward Americans already was ap-
parent throughout Mexico as result OF
the order for the withdrawal OF Amer1-
can forces from Vera Cruz.
Consular reports show that among the
lower classes the continued presence or
American troops on Mexican SOL was
not understood, but the evacuation OF
Vera Cruz has removed all doubt OF the
friendship of the United States Tor lts
southern neighbor.
Throughout the republic condltions are
fast regaining their normal status. Ad-
ministration officials den ed that Gen.
Funston had protested against the with
drawal Of the troops, merely suggesting
October 10 as the date for departure 10
give ample time for the transition.
AS proof of the tranquif1tT wnfcn
reiens in Mexico, State Department
cfflcials gave out today telegram from
the American consul general at monterey
saying the celebration Of Mexican ma
tionaf independence had passed on IN
a creditable manner"
The constitutionalist agency has re-
ceived advices from Mexico City that
Gen, Zapata: had replied to Gen. Car
ranza's invita- ton to attend the national

RAILWAY SURVEY PARTIES ARE BUSY
Fairbanks Times, June 26)

Returning from his trip to Nenana Com missioner Riggs of the Alaska engineering commission arrived Ill town about : 30 last evening. On the upward trip the en- gineer of the launch Midnight Sun accom- panied the official, and will remain here until the boat is put in condition. All the spark plugs of the launch have been burned out, and there are none in Fairbanks to re place them, it will be necessary to wait until some which are on the way from Daw son arrive Commissioner Riggs IS much pleased with the progress being made by ali the survey parties. Especially is he pleased with the possibility of getting freight up the Nenana river.
 As contended by many old-timerS, whose opinions were published after those return ing on the steamer Dan reported that it Wa impossible to go up the Nenana in polling boats, the railroad engineers found that 1t was quite feasible The launch Mid night Sun proceeded up the Nenana river for twenty miles and could have gone far ther except for its engine trouble. From that point the polling boat men took the cargo and proceeded up river.
 As soon as the horses reached Nenana Engineer Gray got away for the mouth of Healey creek, from which place he is to run line directly to Fairbanks. Before starting up the river, however, while he was waiting for horses he covered about six miles of the Nenana river route.
 Bacon and his party were last heard of at the canyon on the Nenana on the way to Broad pass, from which place they are to work back to the junction of the Nenana and the Panama.
 Bailey is reported to be eight miles below Cinema and making good headway toward Nenana.
 Upon his return to town Commissioner Riggs received a communication from Washington which he considers good news, inasmuch as it is to take considerable worry off his mind A disbursing clerk will leave Washington for Fairbanks in a few days, and will come North as quickly as possible. The disbursing clerk is a man named Ham mond, who has had great deal of ex- perience in the davy department.
 When coming up the river yesterday with Harry karstens the engineer found Hayden and his party located a short distance be- low Cinema, on the south side of the river.

A NEW WAY TO SNARE DUCKS

In order to maintain his reputation as a man thoroughly conversant with the habits of wild ducks Ray Henderson comes for ward with another duck story that Is some
 what out of the ordinary. It will be re-
 membered that at the time of the breakup we recorded Rays somewhat remarkable feat of enticing a wild duck within range of his gun by placing bucket of water in a conspicuous place in the wilderness of ice and snow that surrounded his boat, and how the duck espying his native element, became an easy victim. The incredulity with which this story was received prompted Ray to try and outdo the feat and this time he has veraclous witnesses to bear hlm out. The other morning the fireman on the steamer Pup, Henderson's boat, was considerably surprised on opening up the frebox, preparatory to getting up steam, to hear something tlutterlng around inside. Upon investigation he found it to be a live duck, which had in some manner gained entrance through the smokestack. He cap tured 1t and reported to Henderson, but that sport received the communication without the least surprise, and gave a knowing wink at visitor who happened to be present. The wings of the duck were clipped and it was turned over to Chicken Smith, who will verify the story Yesterday morning Captain Henderson brought to The Pioneer office another duck which he cap
 tured in the same manner He abso-
