IDITAROD LOOKS GOOD
Several Iditarod Boys Coming Out
 Over the Trail.

Andrew B. Evans arrived on the train last Saturday from Otter creek, Iditarod Mining camp, and reports that the whole camp is looking better than ever. Moore Creek, on which Bonnet and L. L. James are interest ed, Mir. Evans says, is showing up wonderfully well. On this creek three or four men took out between $25, 1000 and S3O,OO0 last season.
 Mir. Evans says that the trails out from Iditarod are none too good, the worst stretch being on the other side of Tacotna, due no doubt to the mail teams switching over to a new route.
 He expects the gold teams, in charge of Ernest Beattle, Bob GrifiS and Jim Haley to arrive in Seward in about four days. Other Iditarod boys coming out are: Captain Norton with three passengers and Joe Smith, an Iditarod merchant, who were due to leave that city about December 18th and are expected to arrive here about New Years.
 Mir. Evans will leave for Juneau on the next boat and will spend most of January there, when he will return to Iditarod via Seward. He will leave his team of six dogs here until his re- turn from Juneau.

VILLA GIVES
 UP ALL HOPE
OFFERS TO SURRENDER ALL TERRITORY TO CARRANZA
 IF LET GO TO THE U. s.

FL PASO, Dec. 2O.-A conference of representatives of Carranza, Villa and the United States is now in ses- sion here and Valla has authorized his delegates to say that he will surrend- CT all the territory held by him to Carranza if he is permitted to go across the line to the United States unmolested. The permission is asked from the United States whose govern ment, Villa evidently fears, might drive him back to Mexican territory and so place him in the merciless hands of his conquerors. A reply from Washington is expected today and should that reply be favorable it is expected that peace will dawn once more in Mexican affairs. The only doubt about the coming of peace would arise from the feeling that some of Villas generals who have virtually disposed him may continue a guerilla warfare.

The suspension stands until January when Walls license expires so that the suspension may be re- garded as permanent. The testimony at the investigation tended to show that the conditions were favorable to navigation at the time of the accident and that nothing but carlessness could have permitted it.

 Former Statements.

SEATTLE, Dec. l9.-Mayor Hi Gill announced today that he will be a candidate for election to the mayor alty once more at the coming election. The announcement has been received in some places with anything but wei come and the eternal opponents of the present mayor are getting busy re- minding the people that when he stood for election the last time he stated that he was doing so only to have himself vindicated, and that he would never again seek the office. It is admitted on all hands, however, that he has become so popular during the present term that he will win again.
