TUESDAY

That Villa and his followers have been defeated in two battles with Carranza soldiers is the statement contained in a dispatch sent out from Chihuahua, Mexico, today. The first defeat took place when Villa and his followers were forced to re. treat from JimineZ by the approach of a large body of Carranzaistas. They had previously taken the town which was defended by only a hand full of CarranZa soldiers. The sec ond defeat took place at Parral
 General Ernesto Garcia, command CT of the Carranza troops in the state of Chihuahua, states that there is little to be feared from Villa from this time on and that the sit uation can be easily handled The defeats suffered by the bandit lead CT lately will have the effect of keeping him from securing recruits for his lost cause, according to the Carranza leader Villa himself IS said to have barely escaped with his life during the recent fighting, his force losing heavily in men. The Villaistas are said to be retreating toward Sombrero Tillo.
 The United States is now ready to open negotiations relative to a complete settlement of the Mexican trouble and CarranZa has been so notified In fact, the United States shows an inclination to let Car ranza lead in the matter of the ne gotiations, being seemingly willing to let him dictate the terms of the proposed settlement.
 A dispatch sent out from Ameri- can field headquarters in Mexico says that the CarranZa forces have taken over the Hearst ranch in northern Chihuahua and will use it for the benefit of incapacitated Carranza soldiers.

up, looking for signs of Gilliland in all of the sloughs they could nayi- gate with the motor boat Prior to that time they had found the boat containing Gilliland's war bag suit case and several other things just as it had been reported to the Tanana's officers by Lemberg on Sunday. When they returned to Fairbanks they brought the boat and its contents With them And immediately upon their return two more searching parties were or ganized, Brigham, the land office man, joining one of them. These sloughs in the vicinity of where Gilliland or his body could possibly be, returning to town late Tuesday night. after having spent the day in an endeayor to d.s over something concerning the missing timber cruie- CT.
 In addition to the suit case and war bag found in the boat. Messrs MarQuam. Wood and Brigham found other things such as a man would use on camping trip. And every thing was in perfect order excepting the fact that one of the oars of the boat was gone, together with its oarlock. The other oS was in pc sition in the boat. There was also a pike pole and paddle for navi- gating the boat The pole was in the bottom of the boat and the pad dle was lying across one of the seats, being seemingly just as it was laid down. Sticking upright in one of the seats was a knife Gilliland had purchased at Cinema, while package of tobacco and cigarette papers was lying on the same seat Gilliland's mosquito tent was also in the boat
 When Messrs. Wood and Marquam found the boat they discovered four-bit piece lying under the slats in the bottom. And when they opened the suit case a five-dollar gold piece evidently dropped out without them seeing it, for they found it only after they had eX amined the contents of the suit case, And prior to that time they had made a careful search.
 The finding of the money is really the only reason for suspicion of foul play. It is thought. however that Gilliland met his death either by falling asleep and being knocked overheard by a sweeper, or while trying to push his boat away from shore or from a snag by the use Ot the missing oar.

Municipal Council
 Holds Busy Session

The Fairbanks city council held very busy session in the council chambers last Tuesday night The chief matters of importance brought to the attention of the city fathers were regarding the schools and the civic improvements now being made. A very lengthy list of bills. chiefly for work which has been done dur ing the past month on the city streets, was allowed and warrants ordered drawn.
 The school budget. read over at the meeting of the city council, shows that the school board will require approximately $19.165 for the schools during the next winter. Ar ter due discussion the council voted and to take up later the requirement jt an additional fund.
 A discussion of the work being ione on the streets ended with the decision of the councilmen to look over the work and then to stop, for time at least The report of R. E. Maddocks, superintendent of the work going on showed that $3,368 96 has been expended. exclusive ol sidewalk work which the city is doing and which will be charged up against the property holders where the work is done. and the work done at various places on the water front. The original estimate for doing the work was $5,000, and the council has agreed to spend the re mainder of that amount as soon as the unfinished work is completed and it is seen what remains to be done.
 The council also decided to put in a sewer on Lacy street between erty owners whom the sewer will benefit are expected to pay for the material necessary for its construc- tion, and the city will do the work by contract, the same being the plan followed in regard to the Wick ersham and Cowles street sewers The contract for digging the Cowles street sewer from the riverfront to Fourth avenue was let to John F. O'Connor for $175. The distance is 633 feet
 There were also numerous other minor matters discussed at the meet ng

 There seems to be considerable sickness among the American mi litiamen now on the border and the war department has sent out an appeal for 275 nurses. As rapidly as they appear for work the nurses will be sent to the various military camps along the border.
 The illness of the militiamen is attributed to the sudden change from northern to southern climate. There is no epidemic of any kind, but the war department may order another contingent of nurses to the border shortly.
 A Chihuahua city report is to the effect that a battle was fought to- day between CarranZa and Villa forces at Cerro Blanco, below Parral. The Villaistas are reported to have been overwhelmingly defeated.

 DISAPPEARANCE
 OF C|[[|LAND
OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION OF HOW LAND OFFICE MAN
 DIED IS BEING MADE.

In the minds of even the most op timistic of his many friends in Fair banks there is now but little doubt but that Ralph H. Gilliland went down to a watery grave in the Tan ana river somewhere between Davis ranch and Hadley's ranch. The mat ter of the finding of Gilliland's boat was reported in The Citizen last Monday morning, and since that time, although several extensive searches have been made, no evi- dence Of the whereabouts of the missing man. be he alive or dead. can be found
 An official investigation of the dis appearance of Gilliland is now being made by officials of the marshaPs 5 office and representatives of the United States land office. For as soon as Nelson Brigham, of the local office, wired Chief of the Field Division Arundel, at Juneau, of the disappearance. that official wired back that the commissioner of the general land office, at Washington D. C., had authorized the expenditure of $500 in searching for Gilliland's 8 body and for evidence of foul play And under the representation of District Attorney R. F. Roth the de partment of justice also authorized the expenditure of $500 for search for evidence of foul play. The off cers of the two governmental de partments are therefore working to- srether in the search.
 On board the Panama when she arrived from the lower river last Monday informing at an early hour with the first news received here of Gilliland's disappearance was Nelson Brigham, a timber cruiser in the land office employ, who had come here to work in conjunction with Gilliland. He, of course, had heard or the 1lnQlnS or GlllllanQ DOdt when the Panama was told of the find by Eat-'em-up" Frank Lemberg. but had decided to come on to Fair banks and report the matter to headquarters at Juneau. The re- porting was delayed, however, for no sooner had MT. Brigham stepped ashore than he was informed that a searching party composed of R. c. Wood and T. A. Marquam was about to start out in the formers launch, and he immediately joined it,

and children who suffer most from the liquor business. and it is the women and children who benefit greatest from prohibition. Money that went formerly over the bar for whiskey is now being spent for clothing for the women and chil- dren. and in better food for the household
 It is just like this When you close the saloons the money that formerly was spent there remains in the family of the wage earner. and his wife and children buy shoes and clothing and better food with it. Yes. sir. We have found in Seat tie that it is better to buy shoes than booze. The families of wage earners in Seattle are going to have more food and clothes and every thing else than they had before
 And Is the prohibition law en- forced? ABSOLUTELY. PROHlBl- TION DOES PROHIBIT And how about the empty saloons and the landlords who own them?
 Many of them have already been made over and are occupied by other businesses. 1 will venture the pro phecy that in one year from today you won't find a place in Seattle where there was saloon. They will be occupied by other busi- nesses. And prohibition has not lowered rents. 1 know of one dry goods store that has already had it's rent raised since prohibition went into effect
 Oregon also went dry January 1 California is the only wet state on dry January l, 1918. And those three states will remain dry until the end of time None of thea would ever have saloons again Those who were honestly opposed as l was to prohibition in Washing ton and Oregon, have been convert ed to it. as have been, by the actual evidence that prohibition is fine thing from the business stand point. No city and no community too. can afford to have saloons They are too expensive morally and economically. In a very few years there will not be a licensed saloon in the whole nation, and that will be fine thing

THURSDAY

There is now considerable excite ment throughout Mexico according to dispatches sent out from Fl Paso Texas, on account of the fact that 1t has been discovered that General JacintO Trevino, who has seemed to be one of the most ambitious of the CarranZa leaders, and who has had command of all of the CarranZa armies in northern Mexico. is a traitor The discovery was made by Carranza agents who claim to have complete proof of Trevinos double dealing. In fact, they claim that they can prove that the intent of Trevino in ordering the battle at Ca1rizal to proceed was to pre- cipitate war between the United States and Mexico, either to ad- vance his own interests or those of Villa whom, itS is claimed, he has been quietly assisting.
 After the matter had been laid DtlOlt lllH Dy oSClllo, Calranza made the traitorous acts of his general known to the United States authorities. At the same time he ordered his war minister, General Obregon, to dismiss Ire vino from his command and to courtmartial him. General Ignacio Enriques has been given the con- mand of General Trevino, but the dispatches do not say whether or not Trevino has been caught. If Trevino is found guilty of treason it is probable that he will face a firing squad of CarranZa soldiers.
 All is tranquility in the matter of the trouble between the United States and Mexico. and Secretary of War Baker asserts that he now believes all danger of war to be over A report has been received at Washington from General John J. Pershing which states that the Mexicans are very friendly to the American troops in Mexico now
