AUTO TRUCKS ID HANDLE MAIL
 OVER TRAIL

Beginning Monday, October 4 the mail for interior Alaska will be dis. patched from the Cordova postoffice. Two mails of eight hundred pounds each will leave here every Monday and Thursday mornings until Novem- Der 24 From that date there will be three mails dispatched on Monday, Thursday and Saturday mornings of 1900 pounds each. The interior mail will arrive at Cordova the day follow. ing the departure of trains.
 The Northern Commercial Company, which has the contract for handling the mail between Chitina and Fair. banks will try the experiment of re- placing the stages with automobiles on the trail. Two Jeffrey Quad trucks will be used The first trip leaving Fairbanks they will be run all the way through to Chitina. Later when the snow in the passes becomes deep, they will be operated on either end of the trail, while the stages and double enders pulled by horses, will handle the travel on the central part of the trail.
 Just who will handle the trucks for the company has not yet been decided upon. However, it is understood that nearly all of the old boys who former ly handled the ribbons over the big four and six-hors teams, are practic- ing up.
 The trucks are to beused in con nection with Dodge cars, the latter having also been brought in for ex- perimental purposes.
 Since 1903, when the first stage ran over the rough trail between Fair banks and Valdez, and several years past to Chitina, the stage drivers have been among the most picturesque fig ures of Alaskan winter life. In all kinds of weather across the mountain ranges and through overfows, they have taken the mails, express and pas sengers. Sometimes they have saved the lives of marooned mushers on the trails.

PEACE ? | A N |S J R GE [ ] r OR
 MEXICO

WASHINGTON. Sept. 23-Roque Garcia, a leading Mexican. who has been identified with the party of Gen. eral Villa arrived in this city last night, coming direct from Sonora, where he has been in conference with Villa and his generals. Garcia says that his mission to the Washington government is to urge the acceptance of the peace plan which was formulat. ed by the recent conference between the latin American republics and the United States. He says that the Nilla-Zapata element in Mexico is ready and willing to accept the terms of peace laid down by the conference, but insists that the recognition of the Carranza government by the admin istration would bring about anarchy in Mexico. General Villa and Zapata will both resist to the end any pacifica- tion plan which will omit their SUD- porters from consideration. Despite the ascedancy of Carranza's army at the present time Garcia insists that the recognition of his government would result in a terrible situation, and conditions far worse than any so far seen in Mexico would follow. Villa will fight to the end if that is done, but if the Pan-American peace plan is put into effect, Villa will throw his support to that end. and with Carranza in line the starving people of Mexico would secure relief. Garcia urges the holding Of a conference to establish a provisional government.
