AMERICANS ARE
EASYPREYFOR
GREASERS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—The Na
tional Association for the Protection
of American Rights in Mexico has
sent out for publication in newspapers
throughout the country a map and
statement showing that 551 Ameri
cans have been killed in Mexico since
November 20, 1910.
Of this number, the Association
states, 423 were civilians and 123 sol-j
diers or sailors. One hundred and
sixty-seven Americans were slain dur
ing the Madro and Huerta, regimes,
while 383 lost their lives since Car
ranza t<ft>k control of the Mexican
f- government according to the state
ment.
In the list accompanying the map
a number is assigned to each Ameri
can killed and his or her name, date,
place and manner of death and the
source of information concerning the
individual cases are given. The man
ner of death ranges from “killed by
stray bullets” to wanton murder and
includes instances of alleged torture
and mutilation.
The Association gives as the sour
ces of its information in preparing
(his map and statement three lists
of Americans killed in Mexico or along
the border, prepared by the state* de
partment; casualty lists of the war
department; a list of Americans kill
ed in Mexico prepared by Thomas
E. gibbon, author of “Mexico Under
Carranza”; information submitted to
the senate by Senator Albert B. Fall,
of New Mexico; newspaper articles
giving the names, date and locations
of murders; and information in the
possession of the National Association
for the Protection of American Rights
in Mexico.
In summing up the association says:
“ ‘Bandits’ were responsible for
188 of the murders listed on the
map, according to the authorities
cited. Officials, officers, soldiers or
followers of Carranza are charged
with 76 of the murders, according to
the map. Villa and his band killed
81 of the Americans listed. Huertis
tos account for 41, Maderistas for 13
and Zapatistas for 5, miscellaneous
outlaws 'listed by the authorities cit
ed as ‘rebels’, ‘revolutionists’, ‘cattle
thieves’, ‘smugglers’ and similar mar
auders were responsible for 70 mur
ders and 23 Americans were killed
by Vwillets which crossed the border.
Yakui and Mayo Indians killed 18
Americans during the period covered
by the map and casual rebels murder-1
ed 6. In 25 of the cases listed the
authorities were unable to determine
who did the killing.”
MEARS SAYS HE NEVER
PROMISED TO DELIVER
COAL AT FAIRBANKS
(From Fairbanks News-Miner)
The Alaska railroad commission
never promised us coal from Nenana.
The statement made long since that
they had, and all understood-so state
ments of Engineer Browne to that
effect, were errors. Furthermore, Ne
nana only has a few hundred tons of
coal for us, anyway. All this is made
clear in a wire frdin Commissioner
Mears to the News-Miner, as follows:
“With reference to your wire of
December 7. The article you refer to
was incorrect, as you point out. No
I promises were made by the Alaska
engineering commission relative to de
livery of coal in Fairbanks, except as
regards the railroad transportation of
the same, provided the coal was made
available by private coal mine oper
ators.
"It should be obvious to everyone
that it is out of the question to spend
thousands of dollars laying a rail
road track across the ice to reach the
dock at, Nenana, when the coal avail
able for shipment to Fairbanks
amounts to only a few hundred tons,
more particularly so when any small
quantity could be transferred over the
Tanana river by sled at a normal ex
pense.
“As it is quite evident that you are
misinformed regarding the coal situa
tion in the Nenana coal fields, as well
f^as the railroad tariff to Fairbanks, I
have asked Mr. Browne at Nenana to
inform you in regard to the coal situ
ation, which will doubtless serve to
answer your inquiry. MEARS.”
All of which would seem to be clear
enough. Wo await Mr. Browne’s in
formation with interest.

AGRICULTURE
IN INTERIOR IS
ON INCREASE
A partially complete report of the
farming industry at Fairbanks foi
the past season, made at the meeting
of the Tanana Valley Agricultural As
sociation by M. D. Snodgrass, superin
tendent of the government experimen
tal farm, indicates that the estimates
by the leaders of the association last
spring will be fulfilled and in some in
stances will probably be surpassed.
The teport made hy Mr. Snodgrass
contains a complete record of the op
erations of eighteen farmers who com
prise approximately half of those from
whom reports are expected, from
which a complete account of the in
dustry will be compiled.
The showing made by both wheat
and oats growers is significant. The
average yieled from fifty-five acres of
wheat exceeds twenty bushels per
acre. In oats the showing is even
more remarkable. The eighteen re
porting show an acreage of approxi
mately 43 bushels, from which an av
erage yield of almost 40 bushels per
acre was obtained.
Mr. Snodgrass’ report follows in
full:
“Eighteen farmers report crops and
livestock, acresge under cultivation
and in various crops.
"Total under cultivation. 656 acres,
of which 25 acres were only cleared
this year.
"Horses and mules, 43 head.
“Hogs, all ages, 81 head.
"Cattle, 6 head.
“Chickens, 940.
“Acres in wheat, 55.
“Bushels wheat grown, 1,114 bushels.
“Aver age acre yield. 20.2 bushels.
“Oats grown, 1,777 bushels.
“Acres in oats, 43.25.
“Barley grown, 100 bushels.
“Acres in grain hay, 355.
“Tons grain hay, 352.
“Acres in potatoes, 102.
“Potatoes grown. 244.5 tons.
“Roots and vegetables, 62 tons."
The bureau of education, upon its
own initiative, or rather upon the ini
tiative of one of its progressive school
teachers—Mr. Replogle of the Kotze
bue sound region to the north of
Nome—has installed two wireless
stations—one on Kobuk river and one
on Kotzebue sound. Mr. Repogle
operates the Kobuck station and un
der the tutelage of Mr. Replogle, a
bright native youth runs the Kot
zebut station. The stations are prov
ing of vast benefit to the bureau of
education in keeping in touch with
the progress of things and conditions
generally, in a region heretofore con
sidered remote.

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACTURED
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all we ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to give
us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay more
for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.
We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and have built up a very
extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States,
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we hre able to pay you a better
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will
ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
