bndv of French troops were landed
today at the city of Corinth, forty
eight miles west of Athens. Great
mystery surrounds the landing of the

government by the allies, demanding
that the representatives of the cen
tral powers be given their passports.

NEW MANAGER FOR ORCA
CANNERY
('apt. S. Pederson, who was in
charge of the Orca cannery last year,
has been transferred to Shakan, near
Wrangel, and he will be succeeded
here by Charles Nichols, of the Nush
agak cannery. John Gilbert, the old

The water situation is becoming
[serious in Cordova, and in order to
1 maintain a sufficient reserve supply
in case of fire, tlie Cordova Power
Company has decided to shut off the
[water during the present cold weath
er. excepting between the hours of 6
land 8 o’clock in the morning and 6
and 8 o'clock in the evening.
There are two reservoirs, with a
capacity of ten million gallons and
eight hundred thousand gallons, re
spectively. ITp until December 1 both
reservoirs were running over with
water, but since that time there has
been a steady decrease in the supply,
until at present there is but a million
gallons of water on hand.
For three days before it was found
necessary to curtail the town's sup
ply, a test was made each day of the
! amount of water used and it was
■ found to average 500,000 gallons every
[twenty-four hours, or 500 gallons per
capita, estimating Cordova's popula
i
jtion at 1,000. Of course no such quan
tity was actually being used by our
I residents, and there was a wilful waste
somewhere. As conditions continued
j to grow worse, the company was com
pelled to adopt drastic measures to
i protect the town against fire. The
water will now only be turned on
four hours per day, and if under this
! arrangement the flow into the reser
I voir is not equal to the amount used
j it will be necessary to still further
I restrict the use of water.
Care should also be exercised by
! parties who have boilers connected to
their ranges, in order to prevent an
; explosion of same. The best precau
II ion would be to disconnect the boil
| ers and if necessary see to it that the
coils in thp range are protected.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. — The
committee of the navy which has been
investigating the fatal explosion
which occurred on the submarine
E-3 at the Brooklyn navy yard, have
been unable to reach any definite con
clusions as to the cause. They have
reported that the trouble was caused
by a gas explosion, the gas being gen
erated by the new Edison battery.
The gas was ignited by a spark from
an unknown origin. The committee
has not yet completed its labors, but
it is doubtful if anything certain will
come of its deliberations. The offi
cials are keenly disappointed over the
matter, but refuse to discuss it.

EL. PASO. Jan. 19. — The plant ol
the Parra leampo Alvarado Mining
Company was yesterday raided by
bandits, who were ex-Villa soldiers.
The bandits killed the Chinese cook
and wounded the watchman. They
then proceeded to loot the company
store, taking away with them all the
food and supplies they could carry.
The buildings were not disturbed, but
as no opposition was made to the
outlaws, it is not known why the cook
was killed and the watchman shot,
unless from pure cussedness. The
activities of the bandits are causing
the administration to he subjected to
much criticism by the newspapers of
Texas and other border states, who
are clamoring for intervention, and
opportunity to revenge the deaths of
the Americans who were killed at
Santa Ysabel.
