said this general had command OF

Upon reaching Chihuahua, he eX-

completely the purpose of the eXpedi-

The facts Of the campaign, now on

ifs an Increase OF $50 over last year,
when the census showed 13,tO4-
The largest increase is in the Ter

was a slight falling Off There was
an increase also south Of the tracks
and west Of Santa Fe. whereas In the
Mexican section between santa re

decrease.
The Mexican situation is believed
to be responsible for there not being
a larger increase, as MexiCans refused
