Mccarthy Wednesday morning were
81 horses to be used in transporting
mining outfits to various camps,
preparatory to early operations.

and dogs from this city is beginning
early, and is taken as an indication
of an unusually active season.
The recent discovery of rich ground
in the Nelchina district is causing
a number of miners to 60 there in
stead Of to other camps. for which
they were bound when leaving Seat
tie. The next few vessels from the
Sound are expected to bring large
lists OF passengers bound for the in

MINERS WELCOME
SENATOR KERN

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1.-Senator
Kern was given a tremendous ova
ton when he spoke to the miners
here yesterday. In his speech, the
senator said that every effort should
be made for harmony between labor
and capital. He declares that the
capitalists are responsible to a great
degree for the labor troubles, and
he asserted that they had gone as
far as to send their hirelings among
the mine workers for the purpose of
causing dissension among the latter.
incidentally the senator pointed the
cost of labor troubles, and urged
the miners to do what is in their
power to come to an understanding
with their employers without resort
ing to strikes. He believed, he
said, that it is possible for capital
and labor to work for their mutual
interests, if each side would do its
best to be fair with the other.

DISCOVERED IN
MEXICO CITY
HUERTA DECLARES
THAT REQUENA PLANS HIS
OVERTHROW.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 1.-Insurrec-
ion in the City of Mexico has been
planned by the enemies of the admin
istration, and President Huerta has
publicly charged General Requena
with having plotted to overthrow
him and to substitute Gonzales or Fe-
lix Daz in the presidential chair.
To keep down the threatened insur-
rec.ion in the city, the federal troops
are kept in display on the streets,
and every suspicious character is
arrested and thrown into Jail. Sew
eral prominent people have been
arrested in a mysterious way, and no
explanation has been given by the
government.
The contemplated insurrection in
the city came to light by the dis
coverv of numerous arms that had
been hidden by the rebels, ready for
use at the proper moment.
That President Huerta is extreme
ly worried over the dangers that
surround him is made evident by
the fact that he has changed the
garrison and has large supply OF
ammunition placed in the palace and
other places near at hand. to be
ready for instant use in case there
is an uprising in the city.
There is a feeling OF general anx-
iety throughout the city, and the
soldiers are driving people from the
streets, unless they can show salts
factory reason for their presence
there.
Whether Huerta still intends to flee
from the city can not be determined,
but ii is believed that II the uprising
takes place in the city, he will man.

capture.

REFORMS COSTLY
DECLARES TAFT

OTTAWA, Feb. /. - Ex-President
Taft, in a speech here today declar-
ed that excesses in our present modes
of life and in the prices that are
paid for food and clothing are the
prices that we pay for reforms.
The President pointed out the ef-
feet on industries Of laws that limit
them and make them subject to
constant investigations. He declar-
ed that there are too many laws
governing industrial conditions, and
that only such laws should be enact
ed as would insure protection to the
people at large and to the workers.
Reforms are often obtained only by
great amount of adverse criticism,
he said which handicaps some lines
of human endeavor and frequently
makes the cost of production much
higher than before.

sidered that the exposition campaign
could best be initiated on an ac-
tive scale at the moment when even
the pessimists were assured the
railroad was coming.
Now that we know the rails are
likely to be here by the fall of 1916
the suggestion should be offered that
everyone in the camp, that's so will
ed, can help advance the interests
OF the Semi Centennial by not only
refraining from referring in jest to
the proposition, but by taking the

ton" said Mr. St.George. Il think it will
do much to advertise his part Of
the country and bring people here" :"
The plan of holding al. exposition in
Fairbanks was first suggested in the
fall of 1912 by Robert s. Mcdonald,
now member of the council. The
idea became popular at once and
'ater James Wickersham - delegate to
congress, took the mai -er up Off
cially, Mr. Wickersham vent as far
as to introduce bill in congress
appropriating a fund for the proposed
Semi-Centennial exposition, butt was
never acted upon by the house.
That the building of the railroad
will do much to stimulate the plan
'or holding an exposition in this city is
generally conceded, and many people
of the city who refused to take the
original plan seriously, are ready to
cost the project.
While it is not known what action
the Commercial club will take in re-
gard to the matter it is expected
that the club will appoint a COM
mittee to work out scheme for
it, including all details. Later it is
axrected that the various other dis
tricts of the territory will be advised
of the plan and will Ia asked to
make arrangements for t.hibits.

some convicted prisoners brought
from Fairbanks.
The trip over the trail was made
without trouble, and the marshal ex-
pressed the belief that the remain

out it's being necessary to put chains
IN the prisoners.
The prisoners seemed to appreciate
the kind treatment accorded them
by the marshal, who refused to put
any of them in chains, and who treat
ed them with such consideration that
strangers at times were unable to
determine which were prisoners and
which were the guards.
