POOR VILLA.

Villa is again dead; at least so says the latest report, and this report seems to have gained credence among those in position to be best inform ed on the subject of the master out law.
 While alive this Mexican was some thing of a busy bee,-or rather hor- net,-for he stung indiscriminately, apparently for the mere love of caus- ing pain, and yet we must confess we hear with regret of his taking off in such a manner. .Aller career as ex-

VALDEZ HERE TO STAY.

The first railroad to interior Alas ka was projected from Valdez and although the road was built elsewhere aHd since that time the government has selected still another route for building railroad to the interior, the fact remains that Valdez possesses far the best route. That the town has not been selected as the ocean termi nus for a railroad has been keen disappointment to the resident of the city, but it has not been fatal to her growth and development. as other towns have prophesied. In fact this disappointment has been the cause of a more stable growth than would have been the case had the railroad come. It has turned attention to the many natural resources which sur round us and has led to their devel- opment. Mining is fascinating and profitable business. and every successful venture in this field at tracts many others who would partici- pate in the profits. Today there are more mines working, more prospects being developed, than at any time in the history of the town, and the re- suits of the work being done justify the belief that Valdez will be one of the richest quartz mining camps in Alaska.
 Valdez is here to stay and her fu- lure never looked brighter.

Because congress was about to
take action to relieve" the states,
the secretary of war extended the
time for the final settlement from
July l, 1915, to July 1, 1916.
Gen. Mills announces the result in
his last annual report: Nothing has
since been done in connection with
this matter, and as far as this Office
is informed, the states concerned i'm
mediately ceased efforts to recover
account for or reduce the shortages
concerned"
In addition to this property, a large
amount has been lost, stolen and de-
stroyed in the various states as a re-
suit of failure to exercise reasonable
care against theft, fire and the ele-
ments.
The only recourse the government
has is to charge the state out Of the
allotment of federal funds for prop
erty which disappears. This results
in no money for equipment and train
ing of the militia.
The trouble is that there is no eff |
fective control over the guard by the |
federal government.
The war department may request, |
advise and prescribe, but the state |
officials and the political adjutant |
generals appointed by the governors
are under no responsibility to COM
ply. And Uncle Sam has no recourse
except to stop the flow of federal
funds and thus cripple the training of
the only second line troops in the
country. Divided authority thus re-
suits in no effective control.
Militia funds are regarded by many
state politicians in the same light as
''river and harbor" and 'postoffice" J
and public building" appropria-
tons; in other words, as pork" dis
tributed by the federal government.
Consequently, these funds are
wasted and property is DESTROYED and !

ORPET TRIAL

Waukegan, July 3.-When the Or
pet trial is resumed on Wednesday
DR.. VIM. o. Krohn, ahenist of Chi
cago, will take the stand. 1t is not
known just what line of evidence he
is expected to give unless it will be
in regard to the mental state Of Ma
rion Lambert, since Orpet is not
pleading insanity, but it is probable
that as a psychologist DR.. Krohn will
testify that Orpet's frame of mind
was not such as would lead him to
commit the crime with which he
is charged.
Two members of the coroner's
jury which conducted the inquest
into the death of Marion Lambert
have been called by the defense as
witnesses. They testified there were
no spots on Marion's coat when it
was produced with the other cloth
ing at the inquest.
It is said that two other members
Of the jury will be called by the state
in rebuttal to Offset this testimony.

MERELY POLITICS


Politicians are puzzled over the
rumor that Roger Sullivan might
support Raymond Robins for the
Democratic nomination for governor.
Robins is known as a radical pro-
gressive, fighting for the interests Of
the working class. Sullivan has al
ways lined up with Big Business. It
looks as though Roger must be aw-
fully anxious to see Dunno beaten if
he lines up with a man of Robins
quality. Most of the Old Guard Denis
refuse to believe the report.

new MILK RATES
mot JUSTIFIED
SAYS COMMISSION

Washington. July 26.-Proposed increas-
ed rates over New England railroads on
milk. cream and their products were
found not justified today by the Interstote
Commerce Commission. The increases
would have given the carriers about $780,
600 a year in additional revenue. Rates
in other sections will be passed upon
later.
Regulations of the New England roads
giving rate preference to dairymen leas-
ing cars over those shipping in less than
carload lots were found unlawful by the
commission and the carriers were direct
ed to establish a scale of rates on a per
can basis and to prescribe lower rates for
transportation of these commodities in
freight cars on freight trains.
The commissions opinion deals largely
with shipments to the metropolitan dis
trict of Boston and says it is poor econ
ory to allow the leased car system to en-
courage dairymen in Vermont, New
Hampshire and Maine at the expense of
those In adjacent territory. Under the
present adjustment the commission says
a producer 400 miles from Boston can
transport his products to his market
there at lower rates than those 100 miles
away.

Sakharoff' S Blow on
the River Sloneyka
Is Another Surprise

Petrograd July 26-(Via London,
July 2O.-The brilliant blow struck
by Gen. Sakharoff along the River Slo.
novka, north of Brody has injected a
new element of surprise into the con-
stantly changing situation on the
northwestern front.
The original attack against Brody,
which followed the fall of Dubno for
tress, came to a sharp halt before the
swamps and thick forests which offered
a strong barrier to any direct advance
all along the Dubno-Lemberg Rail-
road and since the beginning of Gen.
Brussiloff's drive the Russian forces
have been compelled to rest on the
Russian side of the Galacian frontier

could not be taken from the west Gen.
