WASHINGTON, March 5—The food
situation in Mexico City is further
complicated by General Obregon, the
Carranza commander at the capital.
He has ordered ail merchants to open
their shops and to accept Constitution
al money in payment for goods put
chased under penalty of imprisonment.
Most of the merchants in the city
W# foreigners, the imprisonment of
whom would lead to serious complica
tions with nations of whicli they are
Citizens. It is probable that the State
department will make representations
to this effect to General Carranza.
WASHINGTON, March 5—Seen
tary Bryan and the Brazilian ambassa
dor have been in conference this after
noon over the report that General
Obregon had threatened to evacuate
the city. In the event of the with
drawal of the troops the cutting off of
the water supply, now guarded by the
army, and looting of the city is feared.
Three hundred merchants in the
City, principally foreigners, are resist
ing the order of General Obregon to
reopen their stores and accept Consti
tutional money in payment for pur
chases, and are braving imprisonment.
Secretary Ilryan lias sent a message
to the American Consul Silliman, at
Vera Cruz, telling him to make the
strongest possible representation to
General Carranza and urge him to
take immediate action toward relieving
the dangers which are threatening
Mexico City.

Met With Fatal Accident
Ed. E. Chisholm, of Seward, was
killed Wednesday afternoon when a
log fell on his head while he was
working near the sawmill.

Some cooking at the Windsor grill.
The imlitieal atmosphere is clearing,
now that nt least one ticket has been
placed in the field, containing as it
does, the names of such well-known
and respected citizens as Messrs.
Howard, Davise, Price, llazelet, Smith,
Slater and Hosswog. These men are
all old-time residents of Cordova and
if elected to office will look after the
affairs of the city in an economical
anil business-like way. They stand
for good government and are enti
tled to your support.
An effort is being made by a few
disgruntled politicians to launch what
will be known ns the Citizen’s Tick
et, provided a sufficient number of
candidates can be’ Induced to run
ns the representatives of this ring.
It is said that Councilmen Boyfle,
Goodall and Currier will seek a re
election, but the fourth member of
the majority in the present council,
Tlios. ,1. Davis, states that he will not
again enter the race. Under the
circumstances it will he necessary
to get four new men to fill up the
< itizen s ticket, and although a large
! number of people have been ap
proached no one has thus far been
willing to take a chance with this
combination. Numerous secret cau
cuses are being held, but without sat
isfactory results, and unless somebody
can soon 1m "shanghaied" Into going
on (lie ticket it may be necessary
for tile members of the “board of
strategy” to offer themselves as a
sacrifice on April fi. Such was the
case two years ago when one of the
leaders issued an edict that the
candidate for school director must
lie defeated, and when no other can
didate was willing to come forth,
threw his own hat into the ring. You
all know the result.

NATIVES AT EAGLE
ARE DYING OFF
- i
The deputy marshal at Ragle re
ports that there are not as many na- 1
fives there this winter ns there were 1
last year. The death rate for 1914 1
was high, due to disease that has been
prevalent. The white population re
mains about the same, and business
activities show little change.
Fresh meat has been plentiful this
winter, and both miners and natives
have had no difficulty in this line,
although the caribou herds have not
been as large as in previous years.

IE ROES ROES
The mooting of the Fire Department
n city hall last night was as heated
i session as the most ardent politician
oud have asked for in a convention,
ind the discussion of the matters tin
ier consideration was continued long
ifter the meeting adjourned, where
iver two or more members of the do
>artment chanced to come together.
Tlie election of a tire chief for the
•nsuing year is coming up soon, and
he adherents of the candidates for
he position are already lining tip for
he fray. The principal point involved
n the discussion last evening was
vhether or not the non-active mem
iers of the department should he nl
owed to vote in the selection of chief
n the coming election. From all we
'an learn the debate on this point was
exceedingly ardent.
The outcome of this animated dis
Mission was that the chair ruled that
the members on the reserve list might
vote. After the election and the mat
ter of who is to he the chief is definite
ly settled, the political end of the lnisi
ness will he forgotten and the depart
ment will go forward in the same effi
cient manner which has marked (tie
organization for several years past,
whoever the chief may he.
