EXTENSIVE PAY
 ON SEATTLE BAR
Claim Proves 10 be Good at
 Easterly End.

c. I. Jordan came in Sunday from Seattle bar to remain for a few days. He confirmed the report that excellent pay has been found in hitherto unprospected portion of Jordan & Johnson's Seattle bar property.
 Mir. Jordan recently sank hole on the eastern part of the claim, which was considered by some the most unpromising portion of the ground, and cleaned up from 40 pans of dirt $44 So. The pannings ranged from top of pay to foot and half in bedrock, with the bottom of pay not yet reached. It is estimated that the dirt will aver age Sr to the pan for depth of two feet.
 This is a continuation of the pay streak worked on the western part of the claim last summer, but is nearly three times as wide as that previously uncovered. Although about 25o feet of ground at each end of the claim remains uutested {, it is now practically certain that the pay extends the entire length.

A "LlsERTY" LEAGUE BOOMERANG.

In letter inviting voters to join the liberty
league president of the Denver league that il
Peabody elected "the liberties of the people will be
destroyed"
The truth of this assertion depends entirely the
kind of liberty the president of the liberty league refers
to- If he refers to the liberty to dynamite mine building and
employees the liberty to waylay nonunion miners in the
lone mountain trails Of the mining districts beat and
terrorze them, to cripple and main them and to
murder them the liberty to the budgeon and the
bullet citizens into union out Of district,
these liberties already been denied the proteges Of
the liberty leagues by Republican administration If he
liberty to live under the laws of the state and
the nation and obey them and the liberty enjoy the
privilege of American laws and defy them, those who
receive this letter need not be alarmed, for
enjoying such liberty the Republican admnistra-
ton.
This etter says: THE league is in favor lining up
the industrial classes with the Democratic party the
that the present of Colorado may be defeated
this fall and that future governor will repeat
his policy anything similar to it."
Anything similar to it." These four words show very
clearly it is only the socaled Of the
Peabody policy but the principle to which the liberty
league objects.

cal element: I'VE will absolutely the law order

Condemn Governor Garvin.

Providence, r. l., Sept. 15.-ThS<N-
fort of Governor Garvin to obtain three
amendments to the state constitution,
the first to provide for constitutional
initiative; the second, moderate
veto power for the governor, and the
third permitting registry voters to vote
for city councilmen, was frustrated by
the failure of the General Assembly
which met Tuesday in extraordinary
session, to act on any of them, al
though there was a spirited debate in
both branches. Both branches, how
ever, passed a resolution condemning
the action of the governor in calling
the extra session and calling for an ad-
journment until November 18th. This
brought the session to close.

Miss Nellie Woodley Cannot -rpIain
Discrepancy In Accounts.


Iowa Falls, May ga sensation
has been caused in Franklin county
by the removal of Miss Nellie Wood
ley, the youthful and pretty postmis-
tress at Hansell. From the report of
the shortage that is stated was the
cause for the lady's removal, it ap-
pears that she failed to make proper
report to the postal department OF
the receipts of the office. 1t is claim
ed that this failure to report has exist
ed since last September Letters to
her bondsmen appear never to have
reached them and they were in total
ignorance of any trouble with the
postmi5tress accounts. She is re-
ported as having faileu to answer any
communications addressed to her in
relation to her accounts with the gov
eminent. The amount of the short.
age is reported as 500. Her bonds
men have made good the shortage
and it is not known whether there
will be further action taken in the
matter or not. The young lady refuses
to make any statement regarding her
difficulty and when closely examined
stated that she did not know where
the money had gone and was wholly
unable to give any account of it, Miss
hose Rowson has been appointed to
fill the vacancy caused by this re-
moval from Office.

The plaintiff was DR.. e. T. Ellis, q
veterinary surgeon at Doom, who de-
clares emphatically that he was sold
drugged whiskey, In the saloon of

and then was robbed of $3.50. He as
serts in an affldavit that he has taken
a course in Kelley institute and
that the selling Of Intoxicating

lation of the state law. In his petit
ton, drawn by Mr.. FINLEY, he asserts
that the saloonkeepers mentioned
have failed to qualify in the county
auditors Office for conducting a legal
saloon; also that a back door is OPP
Grated by the liquor dispensary

a temporary injunction against the
saloon and proprietors.
In their answer and in afiidavits

guage that the whole matter Is

the summer it is hoped to have the
formation of county societies complet.
ed, and that OF organizing townships
begun. The association Will perfect
organization before undertaking any
new steps, and when once its power is
firmly established will be ready for

Of the next railroad commissioner,
says Henry c. Wallace OF the execu-
tive committee, I'VE will have some
thing to say. There is no intention OF
taking any partisan stand, but the
members will use their influence to
see that the republicans nominate the
best candidate in their ranks, and that
the democrats nominate their best
man. Then we Will he assured of a
satisfactory commissioner without
identifying the association with either
party.
There are no anarchistic principles
about the organization. 1t Is cold
blooded business proposition. We are
asking for nothing that is not reason
able and equitable. and when we are
able to show this Is a businesslike
way, there will be no trouble about
getting what we want.
The railroads are giving much bet
ter service, especially at the termi-
mails, though it Is not yet what it
should be. The railroads last winter
complained that they were hampered
in the handling Of trains by delays at
the terminals, and their complaints
seem to be justified by the changes
effected recently.
There has been talk of conferenc
with the stock yards people, and a
committee has been appointed with
power to arrange a conference at their
discretion if it should seem advisable.
No date has been set and it is not GER
tain that such meeting will promise
any immediate relief"
At the meeting of the executive
committee in Des Moines the following
resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That we believe the In.
terstate Cattle Growers Executive
committee, recently organized at Den
yer by delegates from all leading
western cattle growers associations is
step in the right direction.
Resolved, That the interests of the
members of the Corn Belt Meat Pro-
ducers' association and of the mem
bers of the associations represented
at the Denver meeting are identical
and mutual and that the associations
should therefore aid each other to the
greatest possible extent.
Resolved, That the Corn Belt Meat
Producers association stands ready to
cooperate with the Interstate Cattle
Growers Executive committee in
every possible way to further their
mutual interests.
Resolved, That the president and
secretary are instructed to express to
the officers of the Interstate Cattle
Growers Executive committee our
hearty approval of its purposes as set
forth by the board of managers, and
the cordial good will of this associa
ton"
