Prohibition Advancing In the South.

Alabama is now enrolled under the ban
ner or prohibi. which is making great
progress through the Southern states.
The senate at Montgomery Tuesday pass
ed the house bill with only two negative
votes out of total of "a. The women
of Mobile took an active part in the cam
paign against the passage of the bill on
the ground that the schools in their city
would lose $4,000 annually, now accru-
ing from liquor licenses, if the saloons
were closed. A big delegation of the
women from Mobile went to Montgomery.
but on their arrival they found the senate
galleries filled with prohibition delegates
from Selma, Birmingham, and Mont
gomery. The new law will not go into
effect until Jan. l, 1909 The sale of liquor
below the Mason and Dixon line with
the exception of Maryland and Delaware
is now practically confined to the larger
cities and towns. Many of the cities are
dry, Birmingham, Atlanta, and Knoxville
which are within a radius OF $50 miles of
one another, having voted directly for
prohibition within a short time. Georgia
will become a prohibition state with the
bePinning of the new year. In North
Carolina more than 95 per cent. of the
territory has barred liquor. One half of
the counties in South Carolina and more
than one half each of Virginia and West
Virginia are dry. Florida's prohibition
percentage is 70 and Mississipprs 80,
and Louisiana allows saloons in
only one third of the state. In Tennessee
only four counties will allow the sale of
liquor after April l, 1908, and 81 per cent.
of Kentucky, long-famed for its whislkey,
is dry. In Texas. Arkansas and other
states prohibition has made great ad-
Vances.

Another Blow at the Third Term Boon

The President has definitely and abso-
lutely prohibited all federal office holders
from promoting the third term boom.
The word has been passed from the
President to members of the Cabinet and
from them to the other federal officials
that office holders must not promote third
term sentiments No federal office holder
may permit himself to be elected a dele
gate and at the same time instructed for
Mr. Roosevelt nor must he vote to in
struct delegates for the President In
brief, the President is determined that
nothing shall be done to promote any
movement for his denomination in the
next national convention by federal Office
holders, and, while no threats are being
made, 1t is well understood that dis
missal will follow violation OF his wishes
in this matter.

FOUND A BIG SEA SERPENT
Then /. D. Edison Causes Arrest
Of Do||ey

Chester Dolley, who says his father
is treasurer of Coos county, was ar
rested yesterday on complaint of H.
D. Edison who alleges Doley was a
party to an assault which was made
upon him Wednesday night.
The case was to have come up in
the justice court today but was post
pOned until tomorrow.
- Edison created something of a stir
yesterday by reporting that he had
captured sea monster in Mill Creek.
He described it as an unusual speci-
men of sea serpent, having seven
holes on each side of it's head and a
large hole in the center. He was de-
sirOus of exhibiting il at the fair
grounds yesterday.
Investigation proved his alleged sea
serpent to be a lamprey eel. Edison
exhibited indications of intOXicatiOn
upon appearing in court this morning,
but vowed he had had nothing to
drink since yesterday.
It is possible his vision of sea SER
penis can be accounted for.

ASK DEFINITION OF POLICY
State Land Commission to Query
Government Officials

SEATTLE. July State Land
Commissioner E. w. Ross has asked
Judge R. A Rallinger to arrange {
conference between state officials, the
secretary of the interior department
and the commissioner nj the general
land office. Secretary Garfield is eX-
pected to reach Seattle on the even
ing of July 9. Judge Ballinger will go
secretary and will come to Seattle
with him. They will be here for two
days and then go to Tacoma. The
conference will probably be held in
Seattle.
The state land commissioner wants
the general land office to issue a state
ment OF the procedure the state shall
adopt in its lieu land selections and in
all other matters that come before the
land offices. The establishment of de-
finite rules to govern the practices
of the state land commissioner and Il
policy the government viii! pursue to-
ward the state would settle cOnfu-
sion that has arisen in the PAST.
OOnI6SIS nave DteH NdStu ONtI az
the recent land selections of the state.
The sixty day preference right under
the act OF 1898 has been called into
question. and the secretary of the in
terror now has case before him set
Ting this matter.
If the rulings of the land office Will
go into details, state officials declare,
they will be followed The lack OF a
definite statement covering the rights
of the state is held to be responsible
for confusion that has occurred in the
past.
State officials are strongly opposed
to the forest reserve policy OF the
government and wanted to arrange con-
ferenceS with Chief Forester Pinchot.
Pinchot is to be in Spokane to meet
the secretary of the interior, but Judge
Ballinger has not been informed ne IS
coming through to the coast. Senator
Piles had word from the forester that
he would be here, but this decision
NAV have been altered. The attitude
of the Washington officials was made
pretty clear at the Denver cOnven-
ton. but the question is to be reopen
ed with the officials of the interior ue-
partment.

western manager of Bradstreets' Mer-
camille Agency and member of the
Bachelors club, was alta cked and
beaten to death by eight thugs in the
heart of the best residence section of
