The cost of a brick pavement de-

Vera Cruz, June 5-President Car ranza has informed Americans in this city that he Is preparing his reply to President Wilson's "get to- gother" note. The reply will be ap- preciatice and friendly in tone, and will show that Carranza is ready to meet the United States more than half way to secure lasting peace for Mexico. q It is said that Car ranza is now planning to take pos session of the City of Mexico at an early date and thus be in position to bring about better conditions there. Carranza intimated that he was willing to step down and out if his presence or personality tended in any way to stop the coming of peace, as the welfare of this country is all he is desirous of securing

Rogers states that he is now working two machines at the prop, erty, one breaking ore, the other driv- ing on the lower tunnel. The latter, which is expected to tap the lead at a depth of close to four hundred feet is still to be driven in the neighbor- hood of five hundred feet. MT. Rog- CTS has been on still hunt all day for machine men for the mine, of which he needs five, as he plans to put that many more machines at work. The company intends to com mence shipping ore as soon as they have enough out for cargo, and with the crew at work they plan, will make regular shipments after that time.

Washington, June 7-President Wilson s note to Germany will be cabled either this evening or tomor- row morning. The reason given by the administration for the delay is that President Wilson wanted time to think over the phraseology of the message so that it's wording would be explicit and unmistakable and leave no room for doubt in the mind of anybody. By so doing the Presi- dent hopes to eliminate the possi- bility of further argument or delay on the part of Germany insofar as the matter of submarine attacks is concerned. The message will be fur ther discussed at a meeting of the Cabinet to be held this afternoon at the White Houhe. No further inter change of visits between the Adminis- tration and the German Embassy has occurred since that of the Ger man Ambassador at the White House last week.

THE BISMARCK CHANGES HANDS

Max Rosenberg originator, conduc- tor and chef of the Bismarck Dining Car, has disposed of his place of business and plans a trip to the ln- terior for the summer. Charles Abbott is the new proprietor, and is wcll- known in this region, for the past several months having been head of the cooking department at Rush ( Browns mine. Bismarck as he is familiarly known says he is tired out and needs rest, hence his dis posal of his place of business. He has made money here he says and unless he finds something in the h. terior that looks better to him than Ketchikan, will probably be back to try his luck here again.

Vera Cruz, Mexico, June 4-Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson s note to Car ranza and other Mexican factional leaders was published in the different papers of this city this morning. It was generally read and commented On by the different factions of this place, but as rule was taken very calmly by the people. It is gener- ally believed here that the extent of any action by President Wilson in the event the rival chiefs refused to conform with his wishes would be to place an embargo on the ship ping of arms and ammunition from the United States just as was done two years ago. If this be done, the factional fighting must cease Jas 1t will be impossible to get ammunition from Europe owing to the conflict tAere. Spain is the only country in position to ship ammunition to this continent, and the probabilities are her factories are busy laying up a stock for her armies in anticipation ot possibly being drawn into the present European war.

OREGON BANKS CLEANED OUT

According to recent halibut fish ing arrivals from the south, the newly discovered banks off the mouth of the Columbia river lasted "quick. !" The greater number of the S:attle halibut fleet made one trip, some If tlem two, and one or two three, and then there were no more fish left. The Tom and Al was the lucky boat, making three good trips, which she disposed of at good figures. Her crew cleaned up an average of bet ter than five hundred dollars to the man in the five weeks they were fishing On the southern banks.

Seattle, June Fire caused

Seattle, June Fire caused by spontaneous combustion destroyed the bunkers of the Pacific Coast Coal company in this city this morning, the loss being in the neighborhood of one hundred thousand dollars. The fire had secured such headway when discovered that the fire depart nlent including the two waterfront fireboats were unable to do anything except prevent it spreading to other docks. Several vessels tied up to the bunker dock at the time had mar row escapes, being compelled to cut their lines and run to safety. The ruins are still smouldering, but it is thought that all danger of the fire spreading is over. It is not thought that any lives were lost in the con flagration.

Bucharest, June 7-When it was announced that the Roumanian gov ernment had decided not to enter the war, a great cry of protest went ur all over the country. The com mon people favor war, and a great demonstration was held here yester- day, when over hundred thousan I men marched to the royal palace and presented petition to the king asking the right to take up arms in aid of their brothers now in the field on the side of the Allies. The situation in Galicia and Poland to- day is such that it would be very poor policy for Roumania to enter at this time, as Russia's s offensive power seems to be broken, an dthe Austrian-German army is within striking distance of the Roumanian borders. This would enable these countries to hurl an army across the frontier from Bukowina into Rou- mania before it would be possible for the latter country to mobilize her army.

Petrograd, June Word comes from the Galician battlefront that the Germans arc freely using as phyxiating gases in their offensive movement all along their front ex- tending from Przemysl on the south to Rawka on the north. These gases have set on fire everything along the entire front, and the Russians have been compelled to fall back as the result. The prevailing winds in that region at this season of the year are fro mthe southwest, so the use of these gases can be resorted to with impunity as far as the Germans themselves are concerned, as there is 10 danger of back draft that might return the gases into their own trenches. The German Austrian forces continue on the of fcnsive in every direction.

Berlin, June 4-Along front of over a hundred miles the great Ger man. Austrian army is advancing a. gainst Lemberg and the other strat
 egic points of Austria-Hungary held by the Russians. No time was lost after Przemysl was taken in which to allow the defeated Russian units to reform, and the Teuton forces are hammering the Russians along the front before they have the opportun- ity to gather their shattered lines together and prepare for another stand. It is estimated that in the present drive, over four thousand pieces of Russian artillery has been captured by the Austrians and the German forces and are now in our possession. With these were cap tured almost untold quantities of supplies and ammunition, and it Is estimated that at Przemysl and in the engagements before and since, at least two hundred and fifty thous- and Russians have been either killed or captured. The magnitude of the operations which are being directed by General vonMackensen exceed those of the famous Mazurlan lakes last fall when over one hundred thous and Russians were captured. The present line extends from and across the Polish Galician Frontier to the Carpathians and is ivoting on Jaros- lau. The lower end is swinging east and north, and within the next few days will have swept the Russians out of Lemberg, Czarnowitz, KaIomea, and the other cities of Northern Austria Hungary. This will enable the Austrians to send a heavy de- tachment south to deal with the Italians, and if Bulgaria and Rou- mania cause trouble will liberate half million men to be used against those two countries. From this it will be seen that matters in general are in better shape today as far as Germany and Austrian arms are con. cerned than at any time since last fall.

 London, June 4--The Admiralty an nounces that five submarines are now operating ill the Sea of Marmora. Their presence effectualy prevents any assistance being sent by water to the garrisons of the different forts along the Dardanelles. Several raids have been carried right into the Bosphorus itself in front of Con stantinople, and the Sea of Marmora has been swept clean of all vessels operating for the Turkish government. Five gunboats and other armed yes sels belonging to Turkey have been sunk, and several transports have been sent to the bottom. With the submarines commanding the Sea of Marmora and the Allies with their guns commanding the Isthmus con meeting the isthmus with the main land, it is matter of but short time until the Turkish troops on the latter will either be wiped out Or forced to capitulate.
