The explanation in the grain trade is that at least some of the crop

array against the Mexican usurpaton.
One week after Mr., Wilson's inauguration he gave due warning
to General Huerta and all other Latin-Amercan cheftains who gain
office by. intrigue and assassination when he said: 1--WE ca have n O
sympathy with those who seize the power of government to advance
their own personal interests and ambitions" Huerta laughed at this
avowal, and not a few citizens of the United States pronounced it Wis

Along with dancing, bowling, par ties, cards and various other amuse- ments, skating has been added for the enjoyment of the youthful peo- pie of Skagway. On the SkagwaI river the ice at present is vory good. A large bon fire is built in a protected nook around which are eats for resting and warming. Alth'o SC far north SI1agway has little ice for skating owing to the snow or rain and when there is enough snow for a sleighride, it is look ed upon as a red letjer event and many take advantage of the oppor- tuuity for a sleighride. Ice on the river is rare. The trail to lake Dewey is in such a bad condition as 10 prevent going to that heretofore popular place for skating.
