North Dakota Will Be Dry.

FARGO, N. D., March 21.-From
now on the solicitation of orders for
liquor in North Dakota will be as
grave an offense as the illegal sale of
liquor by blind piggers. Governor
Burke has signed senate bill 78, in
troduced by Senator Pierce, of Ran.
som county, to make the work of
agents of whisky and beer houses H.
legal. The penalty is fine of 5000 to
81 900 and imprisonment from 80 days
to II months, almost identical with
the penalty for the other violations.
The question of the constitutions ality
of the law is thought to have been
foreshadowed in a recent United
States supreme court decision in the
case of a travelling man for St. Paul
house who had solicited orders in
South Dakota in violation of the state
law. His conviction was affirmed.
The North Dakota law is along the
same lines and it Is thought to be so
framed that it can stand the test de.
spite the claims of it's interference with
the interstate commerce law. Test
cases will no doubt be brought by the
brewers and the distillers.

Garfield Is a Worker.

WASHINGTON. March 2l.-The pol
icy of Mr.. Garfield, secretary of the
interior, is gradually making itself
apparent in his department. The key.
note to administra alton is work. All
divisions OF the department must "get
move on' and get its work up to
date. Suspicion is to be driven from
the general land Office.
Mr.. Garfield is hard worker and
pays little attention to the regular
hours of the department, which are 8
to 4. He remains at his Office later
every night. He is about to issue an
order eQuiring the entire force of
hundreds of clerks to remain until
O'Clock. The general land Office has
fallen behind for several reasons.
One of these was the detail of over 100
clerks to take care of the opening of
the pasture lands in Oklahoma. Other
large forces, during the session of con.
gress, prepared reports.

Missouri River Changes Map.

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-One of
the most striking instances of the
damage which follows the shifting
channels of large rivers is shown in
maps of Leavenworth, Kansas, where
surveys have been made by army Of.
ficers. At this point, and many miles
up and down stream, the Missouri
river wanders in an aimless manner
back and forth across the bottom
lands, and not only changes its course
with each food, but is washing away
farms and crops in a manner most
discouraging.
Surveys were made in 1890 by army
engineers and detailed maps were en-
graved, which are now nearly value
less, because of the subsequent shift.
ing of the channel. Surveys made at
the request of the war department dur.
ing the past season by Glenn Smith
Of the United States geological survey
have helped to call attention to those
changes.

Buried Under Snowslide.

BELLINGHAM, WASH, March a.
Eight miners we're buried alive in an
avalanche Of snow at the Brittany
mine, 40 miles north of Vancouver,
yesterday morning. Four were taken
out dead, four we're rescued. Two
Japanese were in the group; one was
killed.
The men had been working in the
logging camp owned by the copper
company, securing material to timber
the mine. About 9 o'clock q storm
broke over the mountain and the work.
men started down the incline to the
mine. They had not proceeded far
when huge mass of snow swept the
side OF the hill, burying the men in its
path.
Fellow wOrkmen rushed instantly to
the scene and beg an digging out their
comrades. The first man taken out
was alive, but unconscious. The res.
cue party next caught sight of a lpair
OF feet spread apart and sticking up
through the snow. They worked as
rapidly as possible, but for some time
it was not known how many men had
been covered by the slide.

ANACONDA, March 81. - By their
votes last evening the smeltermen of
Anaconda have assured industrial
peace to this city for the next five
years, and have done a good deal to-
wards insuring it for the whole state.
The vote here resulted in favor of &C.
cepting the offer of the Amalga.
mated company for q sliding scale
for the next five years. Only about
half the members of the union voted,
and the result showed 304 to 2l8 in
favor of acceptance.
The proposed agreement provides
that the Mill and Smeltermen's union
will be recognized by the company
and may take into its membership
men employed in all departments OF
the smelter where it has jurisdiction
at the present time. When the aver.
age monthly price of electrolytic cop.
per shall be less than Is cents per
pound, then the wage scale shall be
the same as paid prior to November
Is, 1906.
When the price of electrolytic cop
per is Is cents or over, a raise of 25
cents will be granted over the wages
paid prior to November Is, 1906. and
the employees who were granted q
raise November Is, 1906, will also re.
ceive the same increase.

Gives Fortune To Nation.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, March 22.-
When the will of the late Captain
James H. Hooker, of this city, was
opened it was found he had bequeathed
his entire estate, valued at from 81,
100000 to $500, 900, to the United
States government, and that President
Roosevelt was named as executor.
The terms of the will direct that the
money be used to found military
academy.
Captain Hooker left thirteen neph-
ews and nieces but no near relatives.
1t is understood that they do not con.
template contesting the will. but an
attorney will be sent to Washington
to consult with government officials
before the bill is offered for probate.
Captain Hooker long entertained
the idea of bequeatbing his estate to
the country he had served we'll on
many battletields. Two years ago,
when he felt his years drawing to ar
end, he executed his will. Captain
Hooker was born in Rochester in 1882
He was one of the organizers of com
pany E, Thirty Ninth regiment, Hi
nois infantry, known as the Florence
rifles. He received his commission al
captain in August, 1861, and served

WILL FIRE GRAF TIERS.
Corrupt San Francisco Officials Will
Be Compelled to Resign.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 21.-In an
interview published this morning Su-
pervisor Thomas Lonergan is quoted
as saying that he never had any direct
dealings with Ruef in the matter of
bribes, but received money from Su.
pervisor James L. Gallagher, who
distributed the alleged bribe fund to
the board. Lonergan declared that
much of the money he had received in
this manner was when his home was
destroyed during the disaster of last
April.
That the alleged corrupt city fathers
will be removed if they do not resign
is practically admitted by District
Attorney Langdon, but just what
steps will be taken and when has not
yet been decided. Heney, Burns and
Langdon have been too busy present.
ing evidence to the grand jury to con-
slider any method of procedure by
which the supervisors may be re-
moved.
Although Il Indictment have al.
ready been returned in connection
with the granting, in exchange for a
bond for S25, 900 through the alleged
payment to the supervisors of $32, 900,
q franchise said to be worth 81, ,OOO, 900
to the Home Telephone company, and
an attempt on the part OF the Pacific
States company to prevent the advent
of competition in this city, Burns has
declared that probing of the tele.
phone scandal has just commenced.
Against whom and on what charges
the secret indictments which were
withheld yesterday were returned, is
being closely guarded by Heney and
Burns. 1t is rumored that the tele-
phone officials are among those named
in the true bills.
The grand jury made a determined
effort to trace the $4,000 alleged to
have been paid by T. V. Halsey, rep.
resenting the Pacific States Telephone
company, to ten of the supervisors, to
prevent the granting of franchise to
the Home Telephone company. For
the purpose, almost all of the officials
and books of the Pacific States com.
pany were taken before the grand jury
by Secret Service Agent Burns.

WILL KILL BLIND PIGS.
New Law In North Dakota Alarms
Many Offenders.

BISMARCK, N. D., March 21.-The
announcement of Governor Burke that
he proposed to rigidly enforce the pro.
hibition law throughout the state, and
his action In signing the bill which
provides for the prosecution of per.
sons renting buildings where an IL.
legal liquor traffic Is carried on, has
caused CONSERVATION among the
"blind piggers.
A delegation of ''piggers" from
Mandan, which has been . stronghold
for the open violators of the law,
waited upon the governor and asked
him to give them time to dispose of
the stock of liquors they have on hand
before enforcing the law against them.
They attempted to argue that having
been allowed to run without prosecu-
ton they had accumulated valu.
able stocks and in q sense would be
despoiled of their "vested rights" II
the law was enforced against them at
once.
The governor, however, told them
plainly and emphatically that he would
not be party to such q deal. he said
that they knew they were engaged in
an unlawful business and that it was
his determination to put an end to 1t
at once. He told them that they must
have been aware that the stocks OF
goods they had on hand had been
taken at their own risk, they knowing
that the law might be enforced against
them at any time. He advised them to
get out of the business at once, and
they finally agreed to do SO.
1t is said that deleg alton of "pig'
gers" from Dickinson is on its way to
Bismarck to also attempt to soften the
governor, but it is believed that they
will meet with no more success than
did the Mandan deleg alton.
The governor has signed the bill
which removes from Office any official
who rents a building or a room for
"blind pigging" purposes. Bismarck
is absolutely "dry" for the first time
in many years and public sentiment is
strongly swerving in favor of keeping
the lid on tight. Owners of buildings
which have been occupied by "blind
piggers" have taken alarm and have
given notice to their tenants to re
move their stocks of liquor at once.
