will be held the first Of January, will
be the warmest in years. Several diff

present Town Council was elected last
year it went in as a reform Council"

busy at once. Many OF its acts have
more than met with the approval OF

CARRANzA SENDS
 TROOPS TO NORTH
Believed Big Battle Is Pending Near Coast In Northern Mexico.-ViI-
 la Nearing Tampico.

WASHINGTON, March 23-Advices from Vera Cruz and Mexico City state that a big battle is imminent some where along the northern coast of Mexico as both President Carranza and General Villa are sending every available man toward the north.
 It is believed in Vera Cruz that General Villa is about to make the long expected attack against the city of Tampico, as Carranza has been dispatching troops northward on gun boats, leaving only sufficient men in his capital to guard against attack by the Zapata forces in Mexico City.
 General Villa, who was reported marching southward to attack Mex ico City before the capital was evac- uated by General Obregon, is stated to have mobilized strong force in the province of Coahuila to attack the city of Monterey, and has sent an army to attack Tampico city.

JUNEAU. March 23-It is amour ced that the Alaska-Juneau Mining company is planning to spend $4,- 00O.0OO in the development and equip ment of the property with up-to-date mining machinery for recovering the values from it's ores. The develop ment of this mine means that Juneau is to have another mammoth pro- ducer which will add hundreds of miners to the steady payrolls in this section.
 The property is known locally as the "The Little Treadwell' and is owned by the Bradley & Mckenzie in- terests. It is located on the Juneau side of the channel. F. w. Bradley, of the Treadwell mine. and his as- sociates have secured bond on the property and have announced that they have appropriated $4.OO0.OOO from their resources to develop the property.
 The plans include the development of the mine to a point where it will have capacity of twelve thousand tons of ore daily and the erection of a reduction plant and other buildings in addition to thep lant now in op- eration.

PETROGRAD, March 23.-That hunger and lack of ammunition to continue resistance against the at tacking Russians forced the Austrian garrison at Przemysl to surrender soon became evident to Russian off1' cers when they entered the city. Con- ditions in the city are reported as beyond description. The garrison was in a starving condition, having eaten the last horse two weeks ago and fired their last shell before surren- dering. The fall of Przemysl adds fifty thousand to the number of Aus trian prisoners of war held by Rus sia. Nine Austrian generals taken when the fortress capitulated were allowed by the Russians to keep their swords in recognition of their bravery in defending the city.
 German Officers In Austrian Army
 The fall of Przemysl has disclosed the fact that many German officers had accepted commands in the Austri- an army early last fall before the siege was established.
 Gives Impetus To Campaign.
 The surrender of the Austrian gar rison at Przemysl has given tre- mendous impetus to the Russian cam paigns in both eastern and western Galicia. A drive will be started through eastern Galicia to force the Austrians from that province as well as Bukowina. The western portion of the province is also being clear ed of Austrians. A big movement

PARIS, March 23.-Sir John French, commanding the British forces in France, is quoted in an in- terview as having expressed the be- lief that the war will soon be brought to close by 6ermany's ammunition and food supplies becoming exhaust ed.
 He is quoted as saying, "Ammuni- tion is the essential thing in warfare and every nation engaged in the pres ent struggle needs ammunition, but Germany needs it more than any of the nations with whom sne Is fighting. Economic conditions in interior Ger many are bad and each week will add with increased force to the misery of the idle and starving populace. Ger many is hampered from every side in securing a food supply for her citi- zens as we'll as the army and for that reason I believe the war will not be a long one. The spring campaign promises we'll for the Allies and l believe a decisive and definite victory awaits us."

Prominent Banker Believed To Have Been Suddenly Seized With h.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Howard Boocock, prominent in banking and society circles in this city, murdered his wife and then took his own life last night. The tragedy is mystify. ing the police and detectives on the case as they have been unable to un- earth any cause for the murders and believe that the banker was suddenly stricken with insanity.
 Boocock was treasurer of the Astor Trust company and had suffered no financial reverses. He was independ- ently wealthy and his affairs in busi. ness do not indicate that he had an ticipated taking his own life and that of his wife.
 Mrs. Boocock, who was an accom- plished musician, was playing the piano for her husbands entertain ment when he suddenly drew a revolv. CT and shot her through the head. He then turned the revolver upon himself and ended his life.

 Tons of Earth.

VANCOUVER, B. C., March 23- The bodies of fifty miners working in the Britannia Beach coal mine near this city who were killed in the slide yesterday, have been recovered and it is feared that all in the mine have been crushed to death.
 The disaster came without warning and was caused by a strata of sand, causing thousands of tons of capping to slide into the workings. Many of the bodies recovered were unrecogniz- able except for their clothing. The work of recovering the bodies and forcing new tunnel to the inner workings, where it is hoped that some of the miners are still alive, is at tended with great danger of the res cuers meeting a like fate. The work is being done under the supervision of Dominion mine inspectors.

WILSON WON'T
 DISCUSS CHINA
Refuses To Give information Regard. ing Attitude Concerning Japan's
 China Activities.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Presi- dent Wilson has refused to make any public statement concerning his dip. lomatic parleys with the Japanese government concerning that govern ment's threatened invasion of China. The president is known to have pro- tested to Japan that her territorial demands upon China was regarded as unfriendly by the United States, this country being a party to the agree ment of nations guaranteeing the in- tegrity of the Chinese empire.
 Little news has been received from the Orient concerning the success of the Chinese government in reaching conclusion regarding the demands of Japan. It is believed that Japan will content herself for the present with her show of strength and by landing an army at Tsingtao, the re- gently captured German possession in China.
 The denial of the British and Rus sian embassies that their govern ments had protested to Japan against her aggressive policy in China is in line with their policy in the east of permitting Japan to secure the con- sessions as a reward for her assist ance in reducing the German strong hold on the Pacific.
