WASHINGTON, Aug. 10—Official
advices vahe been received from the
United States’ representatives in Mex
ico to the effect that Carranza is
making hurried preparations to move
his capital from Vera Cruz to Mexico
City. It is thought that Carranza is
attempting to establish himself in the
Mexican capital, and proclaim himself
provisional president with the purpose
of forestalling any intervention by the
joint powers of North and South
America. It is beginning to be felt
that Carranza is secretly opposed to
the two factions in Mexico coming
together for the purpose of establish
ing peace, unless it can be determined
that he will be president by so doing.

LARGER CHART OF
ORGA BAY
The Cordova Chamber of Commerce
has written a letter to Capt. J. F.
Pratt, inspector of the Geodetic and
Coast Survey, urging upon him the
necessity of taking up with the proper
bureau the question of a chart on a
larger scale than chart 8520, to In
clude all of Orca Bay from Sheep
Point to Point Whiteshed, as well as
a survey of the mouth of the Copper
river on a large scale chart, as no
survey has ever been completed of
this particular section. Several years
ago Capt. Ritter began a survey, set
ting certain points, yvhich are still
there, but this is as far that survey
has ever been carried.
Next year three canneries will fish
that section. They use large launches
and stern-wheel steamers, besides
there Is a great deal of travel betwreen
Cordova and Katalla, this route being
used to bring the gasoline from the
latter place to Prince William Sound
ports. Thus It can be seen that sur
veys should be made at the earliest
possible date.
