Mr. F. F.. Whitney, postoffice in- spector, reached town yesterday on the Victoria. During the past summer he has been visiting most of the postof-
 fees of Alaska especially those in the more remote sections and in visit ing these he thinks that he went through quite a bit of virgin wilder ness. Leaving Skagway he crossed the divide and came down the Yukon. He went up the Fortymie river in a small boat then down the Yukon to Russian Mission thence over the port age to the Kuskolwim on which he journeyed many hundred of miles. From McGrath he went to Takotna, then across to the Ophir country, to the Tolstoi. and down the Innoko in a small boat to Holy Cross. He has not been an outdoor man, but he made

 SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. o. General Funston has reported to the war department at Washington that the entire state of Chihuahua is pre- pared to royolt against the Carranza de facto government.
 Villas raid on September 16 which nearly resulted in his capturing the city of Chihuhua is responsible for the changed attitude of the populace according to Funston. Funston says that General Trevino should not have allowed the Villatistas to approach so close to the citl. No precautions had been taken to prevent such a raid.
 At the present movement, says Funston's report, the railroad from Chihuhua not being properly garri soned by Trevino is in the hands of Villas men.
 The report was sent to Washington in response to demand for the facts which are to be put into the hands of the American commissioners now in
 session with the Mexican commission at New London. The Mexicans yes- terday demanded the withdrawal of the American military forces as a pre-
 requisite to a settlement of the situa- tion.
 General Funston's report and his own views are opposed to such with drawal

There is an unusual window display on Front street it is display of vege- tables in Roses Candy store. There nestled among confectionery of all rhubarb and carrots. An interesting fact about the vegetables is that they were grown 100 miles north of the Arctic circle. To be more explicit, they were raised by Mr. Fred Sickler, at Shungnak, in the Kobuk district. Mr. Sickler is the government school teacher there and he sent a crate of the vegetables down to MT. Rose by Oscar Weeka on the last trip of the Silver Wave. The Kobuk school teach

One of the most delightful stories from the trenches has been illustrated and distributed among the troops for their amusement. One night an old sergeant was doing a bit of snoop- ing" in No-Man's Land, between the trenches, when a recruit sentry spied him and called out:
 Halt, who goes there?"
 Shut your bloomin' mouth or I'll come over and knock your bally head off," replied the exasperated veteran.
 Pass, friend" said the sentry.

There is a rule in London that ex- cept in emergency cases military am- balances must not exceed five miles an hour. This slow pace, designed for the comfort of the wounded, sometimes proves irksome to them. One badly shattered Tommie lifted his head from the stretcher a few days ago and hailed the chauffeur.

 There is also the story of Tommy Dodd, the most cheerful and indomit- able little felolw in his command. Tommy was badly laid out a day or two ago with four or five nasty shrap- mel wounds. He was arranging some barbed wire standards along toward evenings and in the enthusiasm of his work got a bit nearer "Whizz Bang Corner" than he should. A shell burst low overhead and Tommy Dodd went down in a cloud of dust.
 Looks almost like a Blighty for me, sir, don't it," he said to an officer who ran to his rescue. Then the stretcher men came along to bear Tommy away to the dressing station. Tommy gave a grim little smile as they strengthened up.
 Home, James," he sighed.

Both Canadians and Anzacs delight in the nocturnal raids made almost every night on the close-lying German trenches. On one of these recently a Canadian lieutenant worked his way unseen to an enemy dugout and sud denly peered over the top. It was a nasty, rainy night, cold and damp, and a group of Germans were seated about a little stove.
 "How many of you fellows down there," called out the Canadian in a

Soldier stories of amusing happen ings at the front are many. There is considerable rivalry among the Ca nadians and the Anzacs-the men from Australia and New Zealand. The English think they are both such good soldiers there is little to choose be- tween them. This incident happened at a canteen sometime ago when the Australians first came to the western front. Several Canadians were within when they espie& 5he wide-brimmed campaign hats that distinguish the Anzacs from all the other soldiers. The Canadians gave their fellow colo nials a hearty welcome and an equally hearty invitation to "have something" 7" These fraternal details having been attended to a Canadian turned to one of the Australians.
 "When did you fellows come over 2" he asked.
 JpSI SoL III LIllS morning.
 "Well, what you going to do?"
 This was too good an opening for the Anzac.
 "Oh, he said in a "swanky" tone, Eve came over to finish what you fel- lows started"
 'cHumph," replied the Canadian, fits a wonder you didn't first finish what you started yourself down at Gallipoi."
 Then the trouble began. It was a Donnybrook affair for a time, but eventually peace was declared with re- newed and mutual respect for colonial fighting ability.
