To Increase Forces

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Further
 increase of the United States forces in Mexico is again prominent in off cial consideration. It was learned to- night that upon the return here on the arrival of Secretary Baker from Cleveland there might be important developments.
 In this connection it was officially movements in the hunt for Villa would include adequate preparations for any eventuality. Strengthening of l the line of communication, for which troops are needed. principally has
 proceeded with that end in view.
 ! Late today confidential advices
 were received from General Funston,
 understood to refer to the question 1 of the line of communications. De- l, spite increased use of Mexican rail- ways in shipping supplies, reported , today. there was no suggestion in any official quarter that the strength of the motor truck service would be l in the least decided.
 {; Concern of army officials on the border regarding movement of Car TdIId tIOopS loNdiu bdSdS bid idlutS was reflected to some extent in of ficial quarters here tonight It was officially stated that General Funston had complete authority for any movement of troops on the border to safeguard the United States advance columns and their lines. General i Scott chief of staff, while denying 1 that any orders to send more troops 1 into Mexico had yet been issued, de- ] clared General Funston did not need such authority from Washington and 1 had carte blanc to move any forces ! in the southern division.

my officers explained that with Gen
 eral Pershing's advanced forces, 400
 miles from their point of entry, the
 receipt of supplies at an intermediate
 point would make simpler the dis
 tributiOn of fOodstuffs both for men and animals but that it would not enable him to draw more men to the advance. If it is desired that he con- tinue his advance the necessity for relieving q part of these engaged in guarding the line of communications or of sending thousands of men into Mexico, will be imperative, strategists here declared.
 Officers here still are studying shorter routes from the border with the idea of reestablishing the line of communication but the difficulties connected with such a shifting of the line make it more apparent that General Funston may ask for militia to replace troops now on duty along the border in order that these troops,
 seasoned and disciplined, may be
 sent to General Pershing.

Tn the absence of definite informa ton, General Funston was not yet inclined to believe the report that he was dead. The report reached here while General Funston and his ot- ficers at Fl Paso were in the midst of negotiations to begin the shipping of supplies over the Mexican Central and it's receipt did not alter the con ditions nor the work connected with the routine of the campaign. 1t has not been the subject of communica = ton to General Pershing nor has General Pershing mentioned il in any report.
 There was apparent, today, skep- ticism among army officers. as to the uninterrupted movement of freight over the Mexican Central to Chihua = hua and it's subsequent transfer to
 points on the northwestern near the line of communication. The opin-
 ion that the local authorities in Chi huahua would be called to account i for permitting it was expressed. Ar

DEAD SOLDIER ON
THE CITY DUMP

Not one, but thousands of valiant
oldiers born to fulfill a worthier pur-
pose are sleeping today on the city
lump. No, dear reader, the Mexicans
have not made raid on Durango, but
Arthur Fassbinder, our county sher-
ff today performed the last sad rites
Of law over the remains of the boot
leg stock that has quietly reposed in
the county bastile since the raids some
months ago. About $500 worth of
whiskey, brandy, champagne, cor
dials and what not, in glass and in
wood were hauled to the city dump
grounds close to an enormous bould-
er that rolled down there some cen
turies ago for the especial purpose,
and patiently bided its time until to-
day. Bottles of foaming champagne
We're hurled in battalions against it,
its storm swept sides were freely
bathed with claret, Burgundy and
port, and the rock still held its
ground, til all but it was wreckage.
The remains of the soldiers we're
cremated by the sheriff on the field
of battle, and the valiant boulder
was left, as a monument, TO mark the
scene Of the first battle of Boot Leg
Run.

home run and saved the day.
Next on the program was the rem
dition of piano solo, an Travatore. !"
Verde. Arr. by Sidney Smith, by
Miss Ruth Isabelle Searcy. Miss
Ruth was certainly at home with the
piano. The selection was beautiful
and beautifully rendered. It was an
preciated very much by the audience.
She, too, deserves much credit for
this accomplishment achieved, during
the months and years that she has
spent in completing her school course.
Then Miss Zelma Gretchen Bcndure
stepped forward and gave an inter
esting oration on "The Western Spir-
it" Miss Ielma was pleasing and
thoughtful in her rendition of the life
of the western people and the spirit
that characterizes the western part of
this country. There is an open way
characteristic of those who have liv-
ed in the west and felt the independ.
ence that naturally comes to those
who have plenty of elbow room and
live free from many of the conven-
tioualities which tie down those who
live in the older settled communities.
She was very much interested in the
thought of her subject and very much
pleased her audience.
The last selection of the individuals
was that by Miss Christine Hansen,
who gave reading on "Hiawatha's
Wooing," by Longfellow. Miss Ruth
Searcy accompanied her by music and
this was one of the most interesting
selections Of the entire evening. 1t
was fine aud the audience appreciat-
ed it with extended applause. She
has unusual ability along this line Of
work and we take it that she will do
more of this work in the future.
Superintendent Smiley then took
charge of the program and before
presenting to each individual member
of the class his or her diploma ex-
claimed why he had great admiration
sor the class of 1916. In doing this
ne asked the audience to indulge him
n his short but appropriate personal
address, to the graduates of 1916.
As the names of the individuals Of
he class were called each in turn
anne forward and received his or her
fploma and bowing appropriately to
the much beloved superintendent and
o the large audience showed that
tiey were in the spirit of full appre-
'iation for all that their fathers and
mothers. other relatives and friends,
their teachers and the members of the
board of education had done for them
n making il possible for them to
make this first step toward the busi.
ness achievements of life.
The program of the evening was
.losed by chorus, "The Dance"
from Faust-Gourod, by the class of
lo16. They all. joined with the spirit
of the occasion. As they closed one
and all pronounced it one of the most
successful of all the graduating eX-
ercises held in Durango. All went
to their respective homes with the
idea that they had been royalty en-
tertained by the graduates of 1916.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June L.
There will be no withdrawal of the
American forces from Mexico. In
stead of this the American admins
tration will soon reject Carranza's re
quest and call his attention to the
misstatements in the note.
The administration denies that the
Caranza government did not know
the expedition had crossed the bor-
der until days afterward.
General Scott has denied the state
ment that he agreed to Withdraw the
expedition or that he agreed not to
send second one across the border
after the Glenn Springs raiders.
The Mexican embassy's attorney
has returned from visit to Carran-
IA, and has reported that Carranza
loes not want war with the United
States as he realizes that it would
)ut an end to his rule.
The notes belligerent tone is be-
ieved to have been for home con-
sumption.

SECRETARY WILSON RETURNS

Last Saturday Mr.. Wilson and c..
II. Senior, general agent for the Cen
| tral States Insurance company, with
| headquarters at Denver, left for Cor
tez. On Sunday they went to Nava-
10 Springs where they were the guests
of Frank holland and his estimable
wife, who gave them royal entertain
ment.
Hehe they met the new Indian agent
Mr.. Symons, fine business gen
tleman, who has just arrived from Ne
vada. He is very hopeful of doing a
great deal for the Ute people.
1t appears that the government has
| stopped work on the buildings since
last fall and that nothing is being
done at present along that line. 1t
further appears that the government
was to educate the young Utes. At
present there is a school building
that will seat just 27 pupils while
there are 1877 pupils of school age. It
further appears that the government
has done nothing toward irrigating
the lands there. The government
could easily secure water from the
Montezuma Valley Irrigation district.
This would be of great benefit to
the Utes and also to the Montezuma
valley people who have the water in
| abundance.
At the present time the Utes are
paid every 30 or 60 days for their
work. To this they object. They
would like to have weekly payments.
1t is claimed that should the gov
ernment place water upon their lands
they can then do much toward tax
ing care of themselves. They can
build their fences, their lateral ditch
IS and handle more stock than they
now have. As it is the government
| appears to be somewhat lax in the
treaty it has with these people.
Mr.. Wilson reports the fruit bad
y damaged thruout the Montezuma
country by the late frosts. How
ever, there will be some fruit in that
section.
They visited Dolores, where he
ound the people very much interest
I'd in the construction of highways
from that point to Norwood and also
to Rico. The various counties are
anxious to have the state assist in
the building of these roads. The Do
ores people organized commercial
'lub last night and are preparing to
20 after business in a business way.
There are many live ones in that vi
Unity.
Messrs. Wilson and Senior stopped
n Mancos last night and found the
people there in good spirits over the
rop prospects for the year. They
eport the farm crops in good con-
lition and the stock doing nicely
The Mancos people seemed prosper
Gus.
Mr.. Wilson secured some 20 mem
ners for the Exchange while on his
rip. The Montezuma valley people
