ANTON EIDE RETURNS
 FROM HIS TRAIL WORK,
Lack of Snow is the Real Cause of the Trouble on the Trail to the
 Interior,

Superintendent Anton Eide of the Alaska Road Commission got in last night after his work on the trail. He came from Mile Forty five on the last leg of the journey and made that dis tance on the final day with Martin Lanning. Much improvement was made on the trail with the small amount of money available but Mir. Eide seems to believe that the un- uoually small snow fall is the real cause of the trouble. People have not been accustomed to having so little snow and the fact is overlooked in many cases that this year is an ab- normal one in that respect. The freez- ing over of the Arm, Mir. Eide says, enables mushers now to cut out the worst part of the trail With him yesterday came Jerome Hatchy.

MEXICO IN
 AN UPROAR
VILLAS PROCLAMATION CAUSES WORST TROUBLE OF
 HISTORY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Since the proclamation of Villa that he had as- sumed the presidency of Mexico the whole republic has apparently become a seething mass politically The dis patches from that country today show that peace is further off than ever and that the government by Villa will be a military government or nothing.
 Since the announcement by Villa the opinion prevails here that the Uni ted States will again be compelled to take direct action. It has caused the feeling that the American troops were taken out of Vera Cruz too soon and even the members of the administra- tion are believed to be at last inclined to think that the Mexican matter has not been handled perfectly. The taking of the reins of government by Villa has created the belief that he is not at all the disinterested patriot he had posed as.

SEWARD REAL
 ESTATE ROOMS
REALTY FIRMS GET TOGETHER TO PREPARE FOR BIG
 TIME.

The most instructive indication of
 what Seward may look forward to is
 that the real estate firms of the city
 got together this afternoon to decide on a modus operandi during the rush.
 c. B. Poindexter announced that his real estate company has reentered the field and simultaneously with that an nouncement came the call for a meet ing of all the real estate men. The firms of Lane, Whitehead, Poindexter, Romig, Labaree have agreed to take part in the discussion of affairs. The intention of the realty men is to pre- pare for a new order of things that is bound to come immediately with the of the real work of the gov ernment railroad, Speaking to the representatives of the real estate firms it is discovered that more activ- ity is apparent in real estate matters during the past few days than in the whole preceding year.

LILLE HAS PAID
 GREAT WAR TAX.
Further Payment Postponed For Week as Comph-
 ment.

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 27.-"Lille has already paid S,4OO,OOO francs as a war tax; the feeding of German troops has cost us a million and a half, while the city's damage from bombardment is something over three hundred mil lion," writes the Mayor of Lille to General von Heindrich, the Military Governor, begging to be excused from paying an additional war tax of three million francs, which the Governor had demanded.
 "The Governors reply, according to the Lille Bulletin, which is now pub lished weekly under German super vision, is that Gin view of the quiet behavior of the population I will al- low the payment of the remainder to be postponed for a week." The Governor declined to recognize any obligation on the part of the Germans to feed the citizens, and recommended the Mayor to import corn from England.

THREE GENERATIONS
 KNOCKED ON HEAD.
Grandmother, Daughter and Grand Daughter Found With Their
 Heads Crushed.

BUFFALO, Feb. 5.-one of the most extraordinary crimes on record occurred today in this city when Mrs. Lizzie Drake, aged sixty five, her daughter, Irene Spencer, thirty five, and the twelve years old daughter of Mrs. Spencer were found dead in their beds with their heads crushed in. There is not even the slightest clue to the murderer or the smallest idea as to the cause of the crime. There is no man known to be related to the family who would have desired to commit such murders and that a mans strength was required to crush the heads of the victims is evident.

SAYS MAIL TRAIL
 IN BAD CONDITION.

Col. Revell arrived in Seward last night nine days ahead of schedule with the interior mail. In order to do this and get the mail route strengthened away in first class shape Revell drove from Anderson's, the summit of Rainy Pass to Seward with the mail in just six days. Mir. Revell reports the trail conditions in the Interior as being the worst known in years. There has been no snow save at this end of the trail and for distance of fifty eight miles between French Joe's and Berry's on the Kuskokwim, there is absolutely no snow at all and the mail has to be transported over the bare ground.
 Tn spite of these unusual conditions the mail has been on time all winter and Mir. Revell considers that the worst part of the year is over and from this time forward the trail con- ditions will be vastly improved and it will not be hard to keep the mail on schedule.

 ard Peninsula.

Dan Crowley, member of the groc- cry firm of CrOwey and Porter of Nome and Iditarod, arrived last even ing from the Seward Peninsula capital after a trip of forty one days.

KNOCKING SEWARD.

That there are really strong efforts being made to knock Seward is made evident in many ways. With the mail yesterday came the Iditarod Pioneer which contained the following state ment in speaking of the arrival of Dan Crowley at Iditarod from Nome:
 "Mr. Crowley states that he was told most discouraging stories along the Yukon in regard to the Seward trail, and there seemed to be a desire to deter persons from making the trip Outside by that route. He expected two other persons from Nome to fol- low him within a few days, but thought that they might have been in- fiuenced by these stories and gone through by the Fairbanks trail. He was agreeably surprised when he learned of the excellent time being made between this city and Seward.

 BILL IS LOST
HOUSE STANDS BY PRESIDENT IN MATTER OF
 LITERACY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The Im- migration bill was defeated in the house today by just five votes. The voting was for the passing of the bill over the veto of the president.

Since the measure was vetoed it's friends have made a strenuos fight but the hold of Mir. Wilson on the members of congress is so strong that even men who voted for the bill in the first place turned against it to make his decision on the question stand.

Platt And Oddie Men.
toned For Senators

from many parts of the State come
the reports that Sam Platt will make
the run for United States Senator IN
the election two years hence. Friends
of the Carson lawyer are already
building fences for their man and
expect to make stubborn fight for
his success. and as a preliminary
thereto will have string of papers
to announce his candidacy when the
proper moment arrives. 1t is stated
that already overtures have been
made for the purchase of the Reno
Gazette. but so far nothing has ma
terialized.
But with the rumors of Platt's
candidacy come rumblings that ex-
Governor Oddie will be in the field
for the same Office, though it is said
these reports are without Oddie's en-
dorsement. But if he does finally
declare himself there is going to be
great fight in the Republican ranks.

NEVADA SHEEP MEN
WIN BIG RATE CASE
Commerce Commission Orders S. p. T
Cut Double Deck Car Charge

Stockmen of Nevada will save thou
sands of dollars annually as result
of ruling of the Interstae Com
merce Commission which has just de-
clared unreasonable the Southern
Pacific Company's tariff rule by
which rates for the transportation of
sheep in double deck cars are made
double the rates charged for their
transportation in single deck cars.
The commission held that a rate of
ITO per cent of the single deck rate
would be reasonable.
Dave Staunton. secretary of the
Nevada Cattle Owners Association,
when informed of the commission
ruling last night declared that sheep
raisers of this State would effect a
saving of Is per cent on the ship
ment of sheep to the Chicago market.
Shippers have lost heavily in years
past by reason of the extraordinary
loss by death in double deck cars,
and the reduction of the freight rate
will tend to equalize that loss.
This reduction should have been
given years ago." said Staunton,
land it will be hailed with joy by the
shippers of live stock throughout the
country. In single deck stock cars,
where the open ends allow a care
taker to keep the sheep and stock on
their feet throughout the entire
journey, the death loss is normal, but
where animals are crowded into
double deck cars, with no facilities
for saving them if they fall and are
trampled by the others, the loss
sometimes runs unusually high.
Very often 80 or 40 sheep are killed
in double deck cars, as against two
or three in the single deck"
