THE AsToRrAN PUBLISHING CO.,

THE city council voted down the or
dinanee to repeal that section of an old
ordinance which imposes a license on
pool and billiard tables. The council
was eminently consistent in its atti-
tude. II the license is to be abolished
on one game that is part and parcel of
the saloon keepers business why not
abolish it on every game, including the
dice box, slot machines and open
gambling. 1t will be argued that the
city derives large revenue from these
sources, all of which Is true. If the
city has to continue TO derive a reve-
nue the larger that revenue the better

that il is not absolutely necessary for

FEAR FOR EXPLORER.
Labrador Authorities Think Hubbard's
Chances of Escaping Slight.

QUEBEC. Nov 4-Great concern
is felt here for Mr.. Hubbard of New
York. who may be lost. with his Cree
Indian. in the interior of Labrador.
He left here in June for Rigolet, at
the head OF Hamilton Inlet, on the ex-
IRENE easterly coast of Labrador.
whence he plunged directly into the
Interior. The Indian who accompan-
led him was from Western Canada,
and did not know the interior of Lab
rador. In fact, 1t Is unknown to ev-
erybody. with the exception of its out
err fringe.
A p. Lowe, the intrepid explorer of
the Dominion geological survey, ut
terly failed some years ago to traverse
the peninsula from Rigolet to Hud-
sons Bay. though he, commanded an
expedition furnished with all the gov
eminent could give him, and though
ne had successfully traversed Labra-
dor during the preceding year from
south to north. Mr.. Lowe reached the
headwaters Of the Hamilton river with
great difficulty. and finding it impos-
sible to continue the journey toward
and descended one of the northern
tributaries of the st. Lawrence to the
gulf. This was in 1894, and the Lowe
expedition was the first party OF white
men to thoroughly explore the great
falls of the Hamilton river.
The two men for whose safety there
is now so little hope were virtually
without provisions. and may have
starved To death, after being disap-
pointed in their hope of maintaining
themselves with their rods and guns.
they were not likely to meet any In
dians or Eskimos. and 1t is probable
their fate may never be known. Mr..
Lowe reports that in 1898 between two
and three hundred indians died of
starvation in the interior of Labrador.
should the two adventurers have been
overtaken by any of the Indians as
cending into the interior for their
winter hunt, they would doubtless
have given them a helping hand. and
might have taken them with them
Tor the winter But lew indulge this

Of the interior best, like officials of the
