Biloxi Review: The Review OPP
poses the interjection of a prohibition
issue into the state election because
we see naught but harm and the
stirring up of bad blood in it. We
are opposed to the sale of whiskey,
but if it is to be we would far rather
have it done under police protection
than wholly illicitly. If the laws
are now written are mere utilities we
see no hope for any better condition
of affairs under a law prohibiting the
sale altogether.

Washington, Dec. 20. The Vene-
zuelan negotiations now wait upon
President Castro. Minister Bowen
hsa been fully advised by the state de-
partment ef the result of its changes
with the foreign offices at London,
Berlin and Rome, and he has been
charged to take the case III hand
himself and arrange the details of the
protocol which will precede the sub
mission of the foreign claims to the
arbitration Of the Hague tribunal.
In SO doing Mr.. Bowen is acting
not as United States Misinter, but rs
venezuela's representative. The
officials here wish it to be distinctly
understood that their functions
ceased, SO far as the Venezuelan
difficulty was concerned, when they
bruoght the parties to the controversy
together.
By the fastest Venezuelan advices
ii is neted that President Castro is
expected at Caracas today, and it is
felt that he will not consume much
time in making up his mind to accept
the proposals held out to him through
Minister Bowen by allied powers.
1t now seems probable that Minister
Bowen will come to Washington as
the Venezuelan representative on the
commission, which will draw up the
protocol providing for the submission
of the claims of the powers to the
Hague tribunal. 1t has heen decided
that he may so represent Venezuela,
notwithstanding the fact that he is at
present charged with the interests OF
Great Britain, Germany, Italy and
other European powers in. Venezuela,
As soon as he leaves Venezuela this
charge will pass to Mr. Russell, the
secretary and charge Of the American
legation, whose reputation at the
state department is that of q
thoroughly competent and able official.

cause postponement of the assem-
bling of the proposed commission

Oliver Mining Company will Locate Head
quarerS There.


Iron River is to be the headquarters
Of the Oliver Mining company for the
Iron county district la accordance
with the program Of this company TO
centralize the work in their different
districts, orders have been received to
centralize the work and it is said that
Iron River has been chosen as the place
at which the head quarters will be
located. II is stated that the locating
- - headquarters over there was due
chiefly to the fact that the company
has erected several fine residences at
that place for its executive heads and
shonld Crystal Falls be chosen it would
necossitate the erecting of the same
number over here. an unnecessary ex-
pense CRYSTAL Fails was favored be-
cause Of It's central location and other
things being equal there ia no doubt
but that the head quarters would have
been located here. However, we are
glad that our neighbor across the
county has secured the honor and hope
that il will be source of profit to the
people of Iron River. The work will
probably be done in the Riverton Office
but next summer AN Office building
will be erected in the village of Iron
River.

appeal and by unanimous vote tabled
the resolution.
Chief Johnson, of the fire depart
ment. appeared before the board and
asked that fire alarms be placed in the
houses OF the officers Of the depart
ment Mr. Johnson stated that his
reasons for advocating the placing of
these alarms is that frequently the bell
does not awaken the members and the
department is short handed as result.
II, as is frequently the case, the officers
are not awakened the department is
without head and chaos results. The
board looked favorably upon this appli-
cation and committee was appointed
TO look into the matter further.

and il was intended TO give the ring to
Mr. Sheppard the Sunday evening pre-
vious to his leaving Iron Belt but
Thursday Of that week, Mr. Sheppard
received a message. telling him that he
must be at Iron Mountain on Saturday
evening. This necessitated a change
in the plans. Captain Rowe, who had
been working for fully two weeks upon
"A presentation speech, announced that
he fet sufficiently confident in his abil-
ity to get the speech off in good shape
to have the date changed to Friday
evening. It was accordingly ar
ranged that st the change Of shifts on

engine had broken as a ruse to get him

man in the mine was in waiting for
him. Mr.. Sheppard hurried 10 the
