PREDICTS WAR
EngIiShman Thinks Conflict
Between Great Britain and
Germany Strong Possibility.

Winnipeg, Sept. Lord Northcliffe,
owner of the London Times, In an in
terview here today, predicted war be
tween Germany and Great Britain. He
said in the Krupp gun works alone,
100. 900 men are working night and day
and on Sundays, preparing for war. de
said:
Il would make the suggestion, with
all respect to the Canadians who are
investing their money and labor in con-
structing railroads and building grain
elevators, that they keep an eye on
European affairs and begin to figure
out why all the shipbuilding yards in
Germany are busy constructing rapid
cruisers and first-cIass battleships, and
why il is that Krupp's works have in
creased their hands to over 100000 men,
nearly the population of Winnipeg
"They will fight or threaten again,
when they think it viii pay Many
people say now that they will fight
Great Britain in the near future, and
some have mentioned the year 1912"

HEAD IS CHOSEN
FOR HILL ROAD
Engineer John F. Stevens Is
Elected President of the
Oregon Trunk Linz.

Seattle, Wash. Sept. John F. Ste
vens, the engineer formerly in charge of
the Panama canal construction, who
resigned recently from the New York,
New Haven q Hartford railroad. to re-
enter the service of J. J. Hill, has been
elected president of the Oregon Trunk
line, the Hill railroad to be built from
the Columbia river TO central oregon
and to San Francisco.
The Oregon Trunk line is Incorporated
in Nevada and its home Office is in
Seattle. Y. d. Williams of Spokane was
named as president when articles were
filed. The election of Stevens took place
in a law Office i'm this city yesterday.
Mr.. Stevens was present. The board of
directors of the Oregon Trunk line viii

of the new directors. aside from that of
Mr.. Stevens, viii not be made public
until the amended articles are filed in
Carson City, New. The new board viii

officials of other Hill roads, with posi-
bly, the addition of one or two New
York bankers
John D. Porter of the firm of Porter
Brothers, which has the Hill contract to
build the oregon Trunk up the con-
tested valley of the Deschultes river in
oregon, was with Mr.. Stevens yester-
day. He said work on the DeschuItes
line was to be rushed, but further than
that refused to make a statement.
It was well understood when Stevens
left the New Haven road that he was
TO undertake a big piece of construction
work for the Hill interests. The report
that the trunk line would be extended
to san Francisco has been current sew
eral weeks. and the placing of the great
railroad engineer at the head of the
work is looked upon as confirmation of
the belief held by railroad men.
Judge Fenton of Portland, a Harri-
man attorney, said last night that he
understood the trunk line you'd reach
San Francisco.

Commander Peary had intended stO7 -

time of his arrival can only be guessed.

Mayor Of Milwaukee Makes
Strong Argument Against
Prohibition Before Great Au-
dienCe at Salt Lake Theatre.
QUOTED STATISTICS TO
PROVE HIS STATEMENTS
Large Audience Responds 10
Each Telling Point Of the
Speaker with Rounds Of APP
DIaUSe that Shook Theatre,
MOST CONVINCING TALK

Five successive times chosen a Dem
Ocratic mayor of Republican Milwau-
kee, a prohibitionist in personal prac-
tice, but a firm believer in personal
liberty, Mayor David S. Rose, the
foremost anti-prOhibitiOnist in Amer
lea, made a plea for personal liberty
at the Salt Lake theatre last evening
in a lecture on the subject Of True
Temperance
Mayor Rose talked logically, con-
vincingly and elOQuently to an au-
dience that filled the theatre to over
flowing and responded with great az
plause at each telling point.
The audience was representative Of
all parties and of all sides Of the pro-
hibition question.
+ On the stage and in the audience
were leaders Of the prohibition move
ment, those who were opposed to pro-
hibition, those who favored local OPP
ton and those who preferred strict
regulation.
. Mayor Rose in his address declared
himself favorable to temperance, but
Tunalterably opposed to prohibition as
a statute.
The speaker showed i'm his address the
evils of prohibition. He showed statis-
ties from volumes of the United States
census illustrating the fact that there
was more crime, more drunkenness in
prohibition states than i'm states where
liquor selling was sanctioned. Through
out his address was fOrceful and eIO-
quent, and the pictures he painted with
soft words rivaled those of any artist.
His gentle satire was fOrcefuL yet in
offensive.
Compliments Gov. spry.
In a startling array of figures Mayor
Rose showed that maligued Milwaukee
had far less d proportion of crime and
drunkenness than prohibition Portland,
Savannah, Augusta OF Birmingham.
These figures he substauJiaJed by Off
ciaI letters from the mayors ard chiefs
of police of the different prohibition
cities Mayor Rose compiimented Gov
eruOr Spry for his attitude last spring
bill. He said that his name would rank
with foremost American citizens whose
courage OF their convictions was great
er than popular CIamUT, and whose
calm, patriotic Americanism saved the
state from a radical TetrOsressi0n. Fol-
lowing his address, Mayor Rose was
congratulated by prohibitiouisJs and
anti-prohibitionists alike.
The meeting was called to order by
Governor William Spry, who said, brief
Iy. There are two sides II every ques-
ton. During the past few months it has
been the good fortune of the people Of
Utah to hear one side of the prohibition
question. We are here tonight 20 hear
the other side of that most important
question. 7 trust that the people Of
Utah viii give each side of this uues-
ton the same calm and fair consider
alton.

covery of the north pole strengthens
the claims Of each explorer.
Commander Peary went equipped
with all modern instruments with
which to record his observations and
demonstrate the truth of his discov-
cry said Mr.. Perkins. THE question
now resolves itself into one of priority.
and Commander Peary and DR.. Cook
viii doubtless fight that out between
themselves. According to DIR. Cook, he
discovered the pole before Pearv start
ed. This detracts nothing from Peary's
honor and glory. Each explorer has
fought his battles without the aid of
the observations Of the other. There is
honor enough for both"
