SERIOUS DELAY OF MAILS.


The present stormy weather all
over the country is causing serious
DELAYS of all kinds of traffic, but es-
pecially is this true of the newspaper
mail service, and just now that the
Eleventh legislative session is AZ
tracing all eyes to Bismarck, Is this
condition felt in the Tribune ONCE
But now that traffic is fairly certain
on the main lines in the state except
where through trains are abandoned
on account of the deep snow between
here and the coast, the people can
now count on getting the Tribune
quite regularly until another delay
in train service occurs. But on the
branch lines there will be experience
ID considerable Inconvenience for
while yet. However, 1t is hoped this
NAV be overcome ere long.

Unlike many gold seekers who
rush off to Alaska in search of the
alluring yellow metal, Messrs. Frank
Brady and M. F. Peake hied them
selves to Blewett some six weeks ago
Now Blewett is only seventeen miles
from Leavenworth but Mr.. Peake had
been there before and never failed
to find the stuff. Indeed he sold a
group of placer claims last summer
to George H. Snowden, Seattle
gentleman, who is even now employ
ing some fifteen men on his property,
and in making cleanup some two
weeks ago he got over a hatfui of
gold. saws man who saw the metal.
Mr.. Snow1en makes trips to his prop
erty on an average every two weeks
and has repeatedly told people that
he was perfectly satisfied with the
returns. This, however, is beside
the story we started to tell about
Messrs. Peake and Brady, who have
six or eight claims in the same vicin-
ity. One one claim which they pros
pected with the crudest methods they
got between ten and fifteen dollars
worth of gold for ten hours work.

any election held in recent years.
The prediction is being freely made
that If the constitutional amendment
is defeated at Mondays election the
doors of Alabama will be opened to
the saloons within three years. The
defeat of the amendment would be
accepted by the anti-prohibisionists
as a reputation of the temperance
laws under which Alabama has be-
come one of the ''dryest" states of
the Union, and little doubt is felt
that the downfall of the measure
would be followed by an energetic
for the control of the next
to be elected in 1911.
The fight will be carried before this
body, and the argument will be used
that the people are tired of drastic
prohibition laws and that this feel

PROHIBITION FIGHT
IN ALABAMA

Birmingham, Alabama, Nov. 81
The fight between those who favor
the amendment to the state Constitu-
ton in the interest of prohibition and
those in opposition closed today in a
whirlwind finish and Monday the
people will vote for the rejection or
adoption of the amendment. The
campaign has been one of the hottest
Alabama ever experienced and has
attracted the attention of the entire
country for the reason that the re-
suit is expected to prove more far
reaching in its effect upon the ma

most of the gold is fine. Mr.. Peake
tells us it is hydraulic proposition
and says he has an abundance of
water for the operation of a hydrau-
lie plant, and will develop the prop
erty next summer.
Blewett is the oldest gold mining
camp and has produced since it's dis
covery over 100000 worth of
gold. We have seen nuggets and
gold quartz that came from Blewett
that would make even a Klondiker

f,lIt
If the amendment is adopted it will
seal the fate of the saloon in Ala
bama for years to come-probably
for all time. 1t is, therefore, fight
to the death so far as the saloon in
terests are concerned. Without the
amendment in the constitution they
could sit by and quietly wait for a
favorable opportunity to launch a
fight for the adjustment of the rigid
prohibition laws: With the amend
ment in the constitution the task
would be practically hopeless. Not
only would they have to get ma
jority of two-thirds in the legislature
to have a vote upon the removal of
the amendment, but they would have
to go before the people and obtain
it's reputation in popular election.
The result of the contest cannot be
predicted with any degree of GER
tainty. Today the anti-prohibition-
lists are loudly proclaiming that they
see victory in sight. The fact that
a number of leading citizens through
out the state who were formerly num-
bered with the prohibitionists have
taken an active part in the campaign
to defeat the constitutional amend
ment leads those who have borne the
hrunt of the fight against so-called
radicalism to believe that the turn of
the tide has come. They see, or pro-
fess TO see, in the strong opDositiJ4
to constitutional prohibition a break
ing away from the movement which
has swept Georgia, Tennessee, Ala
bama and other states into the pro-
hibition column and which has made
many parts of Indiana, Ohio, Ken
lucky and other western and south
ern states close the door against the
saloon
While admitting that there have
been many assertions from the ranks,
the prohibitionists express conf
dence in their ability to carry the
amendment and assert that they have
made more than enough converts
from the opposition forces to offset
the votes of those who have gone to
the other side. They hold that the
fight is one of saloon or no saloon"
and tacitly admit that prohibition in
Alabama stands or falls with the
amendment
In the effort to abolish the liquor
traffic Alabama has gone to legisla-
tive extremes seldom or never before
witnessed in the war on the saloon,
and it is upon this fact that the anti
prohibitionists base their hopes of a
reaction. If this reaction develops.
it's effect will undoubtedly be felt in
other states where the temperance
movement has been making progress,
and its influence. it is believed. will
be to check the movement If. on
the other hand. Alabama indorses it's
prohibition laws by writing prohibit
ton in the constitution, then it will
give new courage to the temperance
forces throughout the country and
other states will no doubt bring for
ward laws as farreaching as those
now on the statute books of Alabama.
The election, in other words. is 60
ing to prove big boost to one OF The
sides in the temperance controversy.
and the fight was made with a thor
ough understanding on both sides as
to its bearing upon the future of the
temperance movement in the country
at large.

SPIRITUAL MANIFESTATIONS, PROB
ABLY.-They have a genuine haunted
house in Portland, and the Olrgoninn
has devoted many columns to the I'M
canny doings said to have occurred
within its portals. They all partake,
however, of the muscular order of
manifestations, such as lifting tables,
upsetting lounges, smashing crock
cry, etc. which always happen when
a boy Of about II years is present,
and he has been so closely identified
with the manifestations rs to have
been excluded from the building by
the landlord. The Oregoniun, while
devoting much space to the phenom-
ena, does not venture an opinion as
to their cause, the first time that YER
liable journal has admitted that it
has no opinion to express on any sub
ject. 1t says:
Opinion is worthless and speculation
vain in a case like that reported as hav.
ing happened in this city, wherein every.
thing movable about the house was
moved by an unseen force in the pres.
ence OF awe.stricken spectators in broad

surprising and the details very interest.

in the Straits, few miles from Port
