Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA, MARCH 14. 1914

There is no change in the Mexican situation. Mir. Tumulty. who is the private secretary to the president says sc and Mir. Tumuity ought to know. There is no change in tho Mexican situation. Nr Bryan says so. and Mir. Bryan is secretary of stante and ilf; ought to know. There Ia no change in the Mexican situation. Mir. Garrison says SO, and MT. Garrison is the sec rctary of war and HE ought to know. Therefore the people of the United States might as we'll rest content and believe that there has been no change in the Mexican situation.
 There are at present several rcGt- ments of United States troops In Texas, along the Mexican border. There Is cavalry there. and infantry and field artillery. oh. quite q lot o. each arm of the service. and orders have been issued for two more rcgi- ments of infantry to proceed to the border immediately. Moreover these two regiments are to be brigaded with a regiment already on the border. 1n- crcasing the size of the units.
 Other regiments have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness for immediate orders to the border. Other batteries of field artillery have rec ctived preparatotry orders and only last week we read of brigade of marines at Mare Island. another in the Rawiian islands and third at Port Royal.
 Therc ia not any change in tho Mex ican situation. MT. Humility and hJr. Bryan and Mir. Garrison have just said %. and "they are honorable men, ar honorable men, so We may not doubt their word.
 But why all of this activity with the fighting men of the nation? Why the two regiments of infantry to the border and the brigade formation! Why the other regiments and ahc light batteries held in readiness fol immediate orders to the border" Why Che brigades of marines at Port R"ya snd at Mare Island and nt Honolulu
 Granting that there IS no present change in the Mexican situation. does this gathering of tho fighting men oi thte nation. slowly hut very quietly and very surely point to q possii'l' change in tho very near future"

ditions anything but practicable fo' tactical purposes.
 Field batteries are not sent t' Texas far the health of the horses ant 1 infantrymen are not left to bake or the dry planes along the border fol the mere joy of getting sunburned. Marine brigades are not held u. little two- fora cent camps of in- st~ucttion like Pol, Royal in order thu, they may become proficient in the national gam" of base ball. N"r
 av. they ordered tO be ready to mot"
 from Mare Island and the ships of
 t,,. Pacific ha.t entirely for the f"n
 of he thing.
 Troops that have but recently gone out to Hawaii, as have some of the marines in those islands. are not brought back again in order that the transports may test Alaska coal.
 No. there may be no change in the Mexican situation. If the gentlemen quoted above say that there is no change that settles 1t. there IS no change. But 1t surely looks to care tul observer very much as if the ad- ministration in Washington was get. ting a mighty biz ready on for some u ins and about the only thing that ts indicated by the recent orders to the army and marine corps is change ir the Mexican situation.
 What that change will be none may tell. The very able and patriotic nnd just man in the White House may not k, ow ms yet himself. But 1t appcars on the very face of things th"t even he expects u change of some kind and tt at he is preparing for It.
 Almost the people of the country would welcome very decided change h this very tiresome affair. iiu"rta does not seem to wear out as quickly ns he was expected to under our finan- /. Ml blockade and 1t may be thnt he will have to be prodded just little before he will get out Of tho sty.
 Perhaps that is what all of this movement of troops ond orders t' troops means Just little hint ID t.uerta from the policeman "n the heat that he had better move on.
 Anyway the Alaska railroad hill 's signed. sealed and delivered. The northern border of the country is safe fer some years to come. There is from all indications going to he hot sum- mer along the southern border-ani we should worry.

COMPANY E WON FIRST CONTEST.

Last week was the beginning of
the scheme of indoor target she OF
ing planned and put into execution
by Colonel w. H. Edelblute to
increase efficiency in rifle practice
and stimulate attendance at drill
in all the twelve companies OF the
National Guard of Idaho. Each
of the companies is matched
against a different company each
week and the course, which is on
the competitive plan, will not be
completed until each company has
been matched against every other
company. AS there are twelve
companies, there will be eleven
weekly contests. The points in
the contests are computed in each
company by adding to the aggre-
gate of the eight highest scores

house was accos,ed by a local mer.
chant: "Why didn't you buy that
bill Of goods from me? l could have
saved you the postage, and besides
you would have been patronizing a
home store" With characteristic
frankness the farmer asked: "Why
don't you ever advertise your goods
in your home paper SO body may
know what you've got and what your
prices are. I've taken the home
paper for years, aud / never did seq
