Ell Paso Wants More Troops

FL Paso Wants More Troops
Mayor Lea called attention to the
presence of 10000 Mexicans residing
in El Paso and 10000 residing in
Juarez, expressing the belief that the
government ought to place large mil.
itary force in FL Paso. The United
States force there is $500, and the
idea gathered from Mayor Lea's tele,
gram was that the government should
have a force on the ground sufficient
for any emergency White people of
the border have no confidence in the
Carranza troops. The Villa sentiment
is pictured as being strong both in FL
Paso and in Juarez among the Mexi.
cans.
Mr.. Smith told the White House that
he had been informed by war depart
ment officials no more troops were
available. With the prospect of hav.
ing TO send re-inforcements into Mex.
leo to aid the army now there. the
department is handling the limited sup.
ply Of troops cautiously.

percentage of those who go TO high

Leather bottles. Or blackjacks, were
common in Europe two centuries ago.
The bottles were often made OF one
skin doubled up and closely stitched
together, leaving an aperture for the
neck. The stopper was made of wood,
horn or old leather. 4 good deal Of
care was required In the preparation
of the leather, which hal to be oiled

To my mind the medical profession

the schools. The public health is OF

In each district would be both desir-
able and right; better for the people

who would have stated hours, a sure
recomnense and vacation. as against
the present conditions where every
one hates to pay a doetor bill land
many cannot or do not do SO and the
doctors have to be ready at all times
and seasons, recompense or no recon-
pense.
It's all very well to have county
hospital, but no one likes to be a
charity patient when they should have
the care and attention by right.
1t is to be hoped that the new coun-
| ty commissioner will pay immediate
attention to our roads. The recent
rains have created gnllies in the cen
ter of the road in places. due TO the
roads being hollow instead of round
ed. The Cove hill requires attention
in particular, with culvert above the
quicksand slide, or the rest of the
road at this point is likely TO go into
the hay. Also the dock which was
condemned a year ago by the county
engineer is on its last legs. is the
county waiting till someone gets killed
or hurt in the prospective collapse
and having TO pay more than the cost
of repairs in damage suits2
So the Vashon ferry is to start run
ming at last. Better late than never
and perhaps hetter where it is than
no ferry, II will no doubt do us some
good, but | miss my guess if many
of the Islanders use it either for profit
or pleasure. It's long way to Seattle
(that way) and that's not the way we
win so there.
