SEATTLE WITHDRAWS FROM <
CONTEST FOR ELKS' MEET
Looks All the More Favorable for Los
Angeles in 1909, as Northern
City Pledges Its
Support

1t looks as though Los Angeles would
have the annual meeting of the grand
lodge of Elks in 1909, since the Seattle
lodge has withdrawn from the contest
to have it held in that city, and also
pledged its support to the southern
city.
Word to this effect was received by
Postmaster Motley II. Flint, head of
the Los Angeles Elks' boosting COM
mittee," who gave out the following
letter, received yesterday from the
Seattle lodge:
IN. J. Conway, Secretary, Los An
geles, CAL:
Dear Sir-Your several communica-
tions received in which your lodge
solicited the grand lodge convention for
1909 in Los Angeles. Seattle lodge too
entertains hope for grand lodge con-
vention, and while our attention has
been somewhat attracted to 1909, we
never have brought it to o positive de-
termination.
I'VE appreciate the fact that Los An
geles lodge has set out in the right way
to gain the 1903 convention, and we
believe your city excellently suited for
the event, and as we certainly want
the convention In that year to come to
the Pacific coast country Seattle lodge
No. 92 .renounces any inclinations it
may have held in this connection and
places it's entire good will and support
to secure for Los Angeles the 1909 grand
lodge convention.
1--WE certainly are for Los Angeles,
and will make it our business to let
other lodges become acquainted with
the lodge we favor.
wishing you and the brothers of Los
Angeles every success and that we will
meet with you in 1909, / am, in behalf
of Seattle lodge No. 92, fraternally
yours, w. A. BANE, Secretary"

Governor Issues Proclamation Call
Ing on Owners to Do All In
Their Power to Stop
the Disease

The strongest efforts will be made to
eradicate, as far as possible, the dis
ease known as "scabies," which is
spreading among large numbers of
sheep throughout the state.
The state veterinarian has just COM
pleted an investigation of the disease
and its effects, and has submitted his
report to Governor Gillett. The dis
ease has become quite general among
sheep in California, and conditions have
become serious enough to influence the
governor to issue a proclamation, which
was placed before the board of super
visors yesterday.
The proclamation states that the
sheep industry is suffering, and orders
that all sheep in the state must be
dipped under the supervision of the
state veterinarian or his agent between
March Is and July 10. Sheep with the
scabies must be dipped twice. with an
interval of nine days, and other sheep
must be dipped once.
The solution in which the sheep are
to be dipped must receive the sanction
of the state veterinarian or his agent,
and all corrals and other places where
sheep affected with scabies are located
must be disinfected.
Dr., Rowland, county veterinarian.
will make an investigation of conditions
among the sheep of Los Angeles county,
and work in accordance with the in
structions from the state capital will
be carried on under his direction.

Elaborate services and large congre-
cations marked the closing of the first

Bishop Conaty preached the sermon on
Perseverance" After the sermon he
gave the papal benediction, followed by
benediction.
Last night the weeks services for
men opened with a sermon by Father
McKeough, who took for his topic THE
One Great Fact" saying that saliva
ton was the great fact of the world
and that the soul was worth more than
riches. He said it was created by God,
who had q claim on it IN the observ-
ance of his commandments.
The mission for men will continue
daily until next Sunday evening, when
the closing service will be held.
A special mission for children will
open at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon, to
close with celebration of communion
Thursday morning.
In connection with the mission the
two visiting Jesuit priests are conduct
ing a class OF instruction for seventy
one people, forty-ive of whom are con-
verts.
After the close of the mission Fathers
McKeough and O'Malley will go to the
Church of st. Francis de Sales, Oak
land, where they will give a mission.
They will remain on the Pacific coast
until next January, giving missions
until that time.

LOST LEDGEs OF GOLD
ARE FOUND NEAR NINA

After search lasting for years, in
vo!ving the expenditure of more than
$4,000 and involving the bankruptcy
o. a number of companies. the Great
Western and the Atherton veins on the
property of the Nevada Garfield Con-
solidated Mines company, near Nina,
were found this week, insuring, 1t is
believed, the placing again of the prop
erty on the bonanza list of Nevada.
Years ago millions were taken out Of
this property, and on these veins. At
a depth of about 500 feet fault was
encountered and though thousands of
dollars and years of time were wasted
in an effort to relocate the pay rock,
it was without success until the present
company took hold last year. The
services of j. w. Chandler of this NC
Namara at Tonopah were secured as
consulting engineer and under his di-
lection the exploration work was again
taken up with the result as stated.
The company has already purchased
the Douglas cyanide plant near Nina.
IL is to be moved to the old mill site
Of their property, where 10000 tons of
tajlings are now waiting treatment

SUBJECT OF PROTEST
Prohibition Union Passes Resolution
Calling on Supervisors to Change
Registration PIaces-Many
in Saloon Doors

At the meeting of the Los Angeles
Prohibition union, held in Symphony
hall, Sunday at p. m, the following
resolution was unanimously passed:
Whereas, 1t is universally admitted
that the legalized liquor traffic is ev-
erywhere and always an enemy of good
government, corrupting influence in
politics and a constant foe to the best
interests of the municipality and the
state and nation.
Resolved. That the Los Angeles
Prohibition union hereby enters it's
most emphatic protest against the ac-
ton of the county clerk and the board
of supervisors in establishing registra
tion booths at the entry of some of the
saloons of the city; and, further that
we respectfully request of the authori-
ties that this action be rescinded forth
with"
This resolution was introduced by
Rev. c. J. Hall, and in speaking on
this question Mr. Hall said:
"It Is an outrage upon the decent
citizens of this city that the authorities
should for one minute allow the saloons
in any way to profit by the registra-
tion of voters now going on.
Advises Change of Name
''If it has come to this, that Los An
geles cannot find decent places where
men who are voters can register it is
about time that we change the name of
this city, and instead of calling it a
City of the Angels, we should call it
the City of the Devils, because there
can be no more devilish work carried
on in any city than for the authorities
to recognize the saloons, by making
them part of the life of the city.
"Why didn't they open these regis
tration booths in some decent places
1t does seem to us as though the liquor
traffic must own our authorities.
"I protest against the continuance of
this thing. and as citizen l shall con-
tinue to protest until the saloon gets
no recognition whatever from our city
fathers or from our county board of
supervisors,
The resolution was carried after sew
eral speeches of protest had been made
from the floor of the meeting.
