YES, NEW YORK KNOWS IT ALL.

Remote places like Chicago and Philadelphia still cling with pitiful provincialism to the concept of a presidential election as a more or less national event, participated in by some 15,00000C or 20,O0O,O00 vot- CTS. Poor nuts, they cannot live in New York.
 On Manhattan Illand only and alone is glimpsed the fundamental truth that a presidential election con sists of nothing more or less than coming down to Harlem river" One candidate comes down to Harlem river and the other goes up to liar lem river. That is all there is to it. Strange that otherwise fairly intelli- gent persons fail to grasp so simple and concrete a fact.
 Accordingly, when it transpired that Hughes had come down to liar lem river with some perfectly good hundreds of thousands majority New York knew that the election was over. A matter of detail to send up bombs, Flashes" and extras. The country had spoken. All the big headed metropolitan Wil~on papers gave it up. The stuff was off. Hughes wins.

ALASKA TOURIST TRAVEL

The proposed construction in Seat tie of two new sixteen-knot steamers for the White Pass X Yukon Route is to meet the transportation de mands occasloned by the very great increase of Alaska tourist traffic. The Yukon rIyer route, by which passen- gers are conveyed from Seattle to Skagway. thence by rail to White horse. and then by 3,50Omile trip down the lakes and river to the west coast of Alaska, attracted nearly double the number of tourists this season that trayersed the route last year.
 For some years the freight and passenger service of Fairbanks and Interior Alaska has been handled by this route through the season of navigation. The construction of the government railway from Seward to Fairbanks places the latter city only 900 miles by rail from the sea board. No doubt. on its completion in 1919, the railway will carry the bulk of Central AIaska's freight traffic, and a large portion of the everyday passenger business.
 But the increasing tide of tourists will continue to make the Yukon trip and furnish business for the passenger lines out of Seattle in the skasway trade. Confidence in this is indicated by the proposed construction of additional river steamers
 Alaska tourist traffic is, and will continue to be, a large asset to Seat tie for the reason that it is the Al aska gateway, the mobilization point for thousands of travellers of wealth culture and influence, who become Seattle and Alaska boosters" upon returning home Evidence of this is apparent in the annual increase of the number of eastern traveller who make the trip to the northland Seattle Post-IntelligenCer.

It is as trite as it is true, and as true as it is trite, to say that money is a strange thing. People that haven't it, want it. People that haven't any, think how happy they'd be if they had some.

KAISER WRITES POPE
EASTER LETTER ON PEACE

LONDON-The correspondent at
Rotterdam of the Exchange Tele-
Telegraph company, cables the fol-
lowing today:
"On the occasion of the Easter festi-
val, Emperor William sent an auto
graph letter to Pope Benedict, ex-
pressing the hope that the pontiff
with the king of Spain, would be able
to construct a scheme with the object
of bringing together, under the aus
piciOus emblem of the dove and olive
branch. conference Of belligerents
for consideration of an immediate
armistice. in the fervent hope of Sc
curing an early peace without detri-
mcnt TO the legitimate aspirations Of
nationalities."
The correspondent says he obtains
this information from a circular Just
received by the German Humanity
league. The circular also says con-
siderable significance is attached to
the arrival in Rome of ENJOYS from
the kings of Bavaria and Saxony, who
had prolonged audiences with Cardin-
al Gasparri papal secretary of state.

WAR TALK ALONG
THE RIO GRANDE
Gravity of Situation Is Admitted
Steps Taken 10 Avoid Split
MEXICAN C0NFEREES ASK An
OTHER CONFERENCE.
Gen. Oregon Thinks Negotiations May
Detain Him at Border Two or Three
Days Longer.

Ell PASO, Tex.-A critical stage APP
parently has developed in the confer
ences between Gen. Obregon for Mex
leo and Gems. Scott and Funston fOI
the United States, over troop cooper
alton in Mexico.
That the point has not been reach
cd and, in fact, may not be reached
where the negotiations will end in a
disagreement, was indicated early to-
day from an authoritative source.
1t was said that the Mexican CON
fierce has asked for another confer
ence with the American representa-
tives following yesterdays brief meet
ing in the private car of Gems. Scott
and Funston. From Juarez came the
information that Gen. Obregon thought
the negotiations might keep him here
another two or three days
While the gravity of the situation is
admitted, it is thought that in the
next meeting to be held steps to avoid
a split will be taken. War talk is
prevalent along the border, but the
more conservative pointed out that
even if hostilities should ensue they
would come after some delay. 1t was
pointed out that if the conferences
ended without any agreement being
signed it would be necessary for the
conferees to notify their respective
governments that exchanges between
Washington officials and Gen. Car
rama necessarily would follow
This opinion of course was predi-
Gated upon the superstition that the
MeXicans should commit no overt act
against the American expeditionary
force. 1t is asserted that any such
action, taken at a time when the ten
tative agreement drawn up by Gems
Scott and Obregon had not been sign
ed would result in decisive military
action along the border by the Unit
ed States Military men here express
ed the belief that Gen. Qbregon does
not desire to precipitate a clash.

UNITED STATES CAVALRY
KILLS AZ YILLISTAS
Large Force of Bandits Is Routed by
Brilliant Cavalry Charge Without
American Casualties.

COLUMBUS-A full squadron of 230
men of the Eleventh cavalry surprised
and routed a much larger force of
Villistas at Ojo Azules, seventeen
miles south of Cusihuirachic, early
Friday.
By actual count, forty-two Mexicans
we're killed and a number wounded,
but there we're no American casual
ties
The American command, under Maj
Robert L. Howe, had been pursuing
the Villistas under Generals Cruz Do
nlinguez and Julio AcOsta for several
days when they encountered them Fri
day, encamped in the huddled adobe
jackals of Oio Azules. The Mexicans
were utterly surprised and sprang
from their pallets half clothed After
firing a few wild shots they began a
flight, each man shifting for his own
safety. Some Of them were able to
seize their horses, already jaded from
hard days ride previously, but 9TH
ers made their way into the hills
afoot
In Major HOwze's report he said the
rout had been absolute and that he was
still pursuing the scattered remnants
of the band. The band engaged is
the largest remaining under the Villa
standard and Fridays decisive victory
gave much satisfaction to military men
here.

consignment consisted OF 30 head of

Co. were the buyers.
Hogs are lately coming in pretty
fair number for this season OF the
year and there is nothing TO indicate
but that the Portland territory will
market a pretty fair supply all sea-

as scarce as some hog prognostica-

Those who are in a position to know
say that the new pig crop is large and
for the most part very healthy.
Receipts today were fairly large, to-

MOBILE TROOPS RUSHED TO THE
SOUTHERN FRONT.
5000 Additional Men Win Be Used
For Relnforcements. Close Patrol
To Be Maintained.

WASHINGTON-N guards
men OF three states, Arizona, New
Mexico and Texas, were called out by
+ President Wilson today to aid in pro-
tecting the border against Mexican
raiders
In addition practically all remain
ing mobile troops of the regular army
were ordered to join the border forces.
By these orders approximately 5000
additional troops were placed under
Maj. Gen. Funston's command. Be
hind the order is the plain intimation
by administration officials that the
whole strength of the national guard
will be similarly employed if neces-
sary.
The orders were issued after a brief
conference between President Wilson
and Secretary Baker over joint re-
port from Generals Scott and Funs-
ton at FL Paso. The two officers stat
ed that the Glenn Springs raid made
it plain that the border guard must
.ohe materially increased.
Secretary Baker has not been ad-
Yised whether a new expedition has
. crossed the border in pursuit of the
raiders, but orders have not been
, changed and Gen. Funston is free to
follow any hot trail across the line.
i Secretary Baker today issued the
following statement regarding the use
of the militia:
THE outbreak in the Big Bend dis
trict of the Rio Grande has so far
further emphasized the danger of sim
liar occurrences along our long bOr-
der that President Wilson has called
out the militia of Arizona, New Mexi-
co and Texas and directed them to
report to Gen. Funston who will as
sign them to stations along the border
for patrol duty.
In addition to that two additional
regiments of regular infantry have
been directed to proceed to the border
and such further arrangements will
be made as are necessary for the
complete security of the people of the
United States against raids of this
character"
Secretary Baker said the militia of
the three border states would make
available about 1000 men.
