 While there is no sign of weaken ing on the part of those who formerly operated the gambling games in Douglas. neither has the city council shown any sign of an intention to grant any concession in the matter ot reducing the license on gambling games.
 There has been no gambling in the city for two weeks, except a few poker games and they do not seem to be attracting very much attention or patronage.
 One result of the closing of the games has been, according to report, to divide the saloon business more evenly than it had been before. Gam bling has a fascination for many and open games always draw the wander ing crowd The saloons which never had any games are said to be doing a much better business.
 So far as known. outside of the Sa- loon business, trade in Douglas has not been affected by the absence of gambling and those who predicted that the closing of gambling would drive business from Douglas would have a hard time in verifying their prediction by taking account of busi- 8ess in this city during the last two weeks
 It has been hinted that at the com ing city election an effort will be made to select a city council that will be more lenient in the matter of gambling license. but with the known public sentiment against his propOsi- ton it is hardly probable that any re- lief could be had in this direction.
 10 ha1fnYrod hKr that inc gambling games would be in opera tion during the pay days of the pres ent month. The monthly pay roll has been met, but the tiger remained caged and now il is not expected that any games will be resumed in the city
 One of the game proprietors claims that gambling in this city has been growing less for a year and that since the city license was imposed few If any of the games were profitable. It is very seldom that any big plays have been recorded in Douglas most Of the gambling being done by what are classed as 'pikers."
 Real Result.
 c O. Ellis, cashier of the Bank of Douglas. informs the International American that the bank cashed large number more checks this pay day than it has ever done before, and in addition opened over thirty new ac- counts. which certainly breaches sermon on gambling which any one may very easily read MT. Ellis also stated that there was undoubtedly more money in circulation Nhis pay day than ever before.
 Mac Smith, head of the office de partment of the Copper Queen store,
 ,nr.E r. lsanW better than ever before and there is no doubt that it is due to gambling in the town being closed. MT. Smith says that there were a number of em ployes both Of the store and of the shelter who were always giving or ders and had to be watched 10 keeT from overdrawing. who had money left this pay day and the orders were not coming in from gambling joints as they have been during other months.

]. A. Borie who left here on Oc- !
tober 81 to visit his mining interests |
at Nacozaris, Mexico, is well pleased |
with the outlook of the property and
writes the East Oregonian an inter-
esting letter from Ell Campo, Jora-
quipa, Sonora, Mexico. the place at
which his mines are located.
Joraquipa is 16 miles from the
railroad at Nacozaris, and is in the
steep mountains OF northern Sonora.
Mr.. Borie by this time is located at
Douglas, Arizona. for the winter,
where he may be addressed by his
friends in this city. His letter is
dated November 80, at Joraquipa.
After writing directions for send
| ing his paper, Mr.. Borie says of the
mines and the country in general;
"I will leave here for Douglas, Ariz.,
| in about a week. where l VIII make
arrangements for the development of
the mining claims, Incorporation pa
pers, shipment of supplies, buying ore
sacks and to arrange for packers to
carry the ore from the mountains to
the railroad, distance of 16 miles.
1.-The proposition seems most prom
ising, and l am well pleased so far.
Joraquipa ("Hor-a-keep-aD is the
name of the mountain upon which the
mine is located. We are 80 miles
south of the Mexican border and 16

which is the terminus of the line al
present.

about 1000 feet and from our camI

IDAHO is PROGRESSING.
Railroad Building in Northern Por-
tion of the State.

State Auditor Bragaw of Idaho,
who passed through Pendleton yes
terday, on his way from Rathdrum
and other northern Idaho points, said
of conditions in the northern coun-
ties:
1.-The building of the Spokane In
ternational through Kootenay coun-
ty has made very lively times up
there. They are working on the
grade all along the line in that coun-
ty, and laying track from the con-
nection with the Canadian Pacific. 1t
is expected that cars will be running
into Bonners Ferry by New Years,
and 1t will not be long after that time
until they will have service to the
state line.
with competitive railroads that
section of the state will have trans
portation advantages which will give
extended market for its numbering in
dustries, and also the mines that are
now paying tribute to the smelter
trust, enabling the miners 20 ship
their ore to outside smelters.
There is heavy snowfall for this
early in the season, which assures a
big output of logs during the winter
The mills are all running on full
time, with a supply of logs that vii
last until the boom season comes ir
the spring.
"Rathdrum and Occur d'Alene are
improving very rapidly, and is more
prosperous than ever before, and th'
future of all industries seems to bt
| the most encouraging.

Yellow Fever Epidemic.

Yellow fever Is described by the doe
tors as specific infectious disease
contracted by exposure to infected 10
calittes and is characterized by a single
febrile paroXysm of short duration ami
by tendency to passive hemorrhages
from mucous surfaces. especially from
the stomach. producing black vomit.'
The disease is unknown in Asia. is
only occasionally seen in southern
Spain and Portugal, and on the wesr
coast of Africa. The American trop-
les and sub-tropics are the stamping
ground of the malady. Inhabitants OF
this country north of the Gulf states
need have little fear Of yellow fever, al.
though small epidemics have occurred
in Atlantic seaboard cities as far north
as Boston and in the Mississippi va
ley up to st. Louis.
The most malignant forms Of the dis.
ease were found in Cuba until the
American occupation conquered the
pestilence there.
The great yellow fever epidemics in
the United States were in 1878, 1897.
1898, 1902. 1858, 1867 1873 and 1878.
The last was the most extended. 1t in
