Such a

along the Mexican border has been
reported by General Funston that
the War Department is now cunsal-
ering drawing upon some of the
troops stationed in Texas to strength
en the everlengthening lines of com
munication of the expidition seeking
Villa. Many alarming rumors have
been disposed <>f. and the border
situation generally is said to be quiet
er than heretofore, but the plan is
not to disturb the garrison* or pa
trol in New Mexico or Arizona for
the present.

from now on infantry would lx- usrd

Evidence continued to accumalate
today to refute rumors of an imnen
ind withdrawal of the American ex-
pidition. Soon after it was known
that additional troops were to be
sent across the border, the War De
partment announced the purchase of
six large tank motor trucks to re
place similar machine* now rented

ing's supply motor* and aeroplane*.

cate that the Carranza authorities
arc viewing with some anxiety the
continued presence of American sol
diers in Mexico ami are inclined to
believe that the opject of the expe
dition ha* been accomplished in the
dispersal of Villa’s main command.
It is authoritatively said, however,
that there haa been no suggestion
front the de facto government as to
a ‘ dead line,” beyond which the
American troops should not go. or
as to a date on which they should be
withdrawn.

On Thursday of last week. County
Judge Mcknight and County Com
missioners Butler and Irvine were
over to look after two project*.
One was to look after the trasability
of establishing a ferry near the rail
road bridge across the North San-
tiam. and the other was to replace
the bridge across the creek or branch
on the road leading to the fair
grounds in the southeast part of
town.
The Tribune understands that the
eourta of Linn and Marion counties
have agreed to establish the ferry,
which will be free, a* soon as prac
ticable. The Linn county court had
about decided to replace the bridge
in the southeast part of town with a
large cement culvert.
