SOUNDS DOOM Of
GAMING DEVICES

The doom of the slot machines in
near-beer saloons and locker clubs was
sounded by the council committee on
legislation yesterday afternoon, and to-
day the leaders in this fight expect
council to be unanimous in voting to
prohibit the use of the machines in
locker clubs, near beer saloons and mo-
ton picture shows when the ordinance
is submitted at the meeting Monday aft
ernoon
The committee is unanimous in its
recommendation Of the ordinance. There
was no protest against it at the meet
ing of the committee yesterday after
noon The recommendations will be
signed by Charles w. Smith chairman;
James y Warren, Claude G. Mason and
John 5. Gambler. Clarence Haverty
the other member Of the committee, is
out of the city.
w. ID Ellis, Jr.. assistant city attor-
ney, said he believed that the machines
were gambling devices. lie said that
he had signed a written agreement with
Attorney John w. Moore, representing
the owners Of the machines, that no
more cases would be made against the
owners until the legal status Of the
matter was decided by the courts. But
he said council could bar them by
adopting the proposed ordinance, with
out interfering with his agreement. He
said:
by taking the slot machine case to
the court of appeals, by agreement, it
was expected that a decision would be
obtained within so DAYS. The superior
court already has held that they are
gambling devices
Chairman Smith told the committee
that the evil Of the Slot machines had
spread to such an extent that imme-
! date action was demanded of council.
! He said they showd be stopped at once
regardless Of whether they technically
evaded the gambling statute.

While In a Daze.

The contractor remembers reaching
Chicago and declares that on the after
noon Of August s, he went to a ball
game at the West Side park in the
Western metropolis. The next thing he
remembers is recovering consciousness
in the Sailors hospital at Sydney and
being told that he had laid there for
weeks suffering from brain fever.
Practically all his clothing was gone.
Elk and Masonic emblems, which he
had always worn. were missing, and

with him was gone. In a money belt,
which was not his own, $50 had been
found.
The hospital authorities told him he
had reached Sydney aboard Japanese

he was stripped to the waist indicated
to them that he had been working as a

that she had cleared from Vancouver.

DECISION IN THE
NORTH SIDE CASE
Will Be REACHED
State Land Board Will Act
Monday Before Departure
Of the Governor and Land
Commissioner.

The state land board will reach q
final decision probably tomorrow on
the north side Twin Falls case in
which the settlers on the north side
tract are asking for forfeiture of
contract on the grounds that the COM
pany has not complied with its terms.
Governor Hawley leaves Tuesday
morning accompanied by State Land
Commissioner George A. Day for
Washington in the interest of land
matters that are pending before the
departments and to attend the gov
ernor's conference. and for that rea-
son and in view Of the fact that he
will not return until later about Dec.
Is, 1t was decided to settle the north
side case before his departure.
The land board has been consider
ing the north side case for a long time
and the issue now comes up for final
decision. Whether or not the contract
the state has with the company will be
declared forfeited is uncertain. The
settlers are insisting that this action
should be taken. The company is just
as determined that it shall not be.
There are prospects that both the set
tiers and the company will be drawn
into the courts in a legal battle to
settle the respective rights they have.
The land board wishes to prevent this
If possible.
The entire issue hinges on the deliv-
cry of sufficient water for the lands in
the project. Due to the fact the Will
son and Jerome reservoirs fail to hold
storage water the company's invest
ment of 100000 in their construction
brought practically no return. The
company proposes the enlargement of
Jackson Lake reservoir in Wyoming by
permission of the government in which
to store sufficient water with which to
irrigate the lands, but there the settlers
and the company again lock horns over
the distribution of this water.
The settlers have presented formal
resolution to the land board that the
contract the state has with the COM
pany be declared forfeited. 1t Is upon
this resolution that the land board will
act.

NEBRASKA AND SOUTH
DAKOTA ARE SWFPTbY
fierce PRAIRIE FIRE

Norfolk, Neb., Nov. 23.-Hundreds of
square miles in northwestern Nebraska
and southern South Dakota lie in bar
rem waste tonight. following one of
the most disastrous prairie fires that
ever swept the western section.
Reports tonight indicate that the
flames are under control in every quar-
ter after IS hours of fire fighting by
hundreds of desperate men, women and
children.
The destruction of means of COM
munication with the burned district
has made details of the disaster difficult
to secure. It Is certain, however. that
scores Of farm houses and barns. the
latter stored with feed, and thousands of
stacks of hay have been burned. Much
livestock has persisted, and although no
loss of human life has been reported,
It is feared many persons have persisted
defending their homes.
One IRE, starting in the Pine Ridge
Indian reservation, swept southwark
into Nebraska, for time endangering
the town Of Crookston. Another in
Trip county. South Dakota, imperiled
the town of Sinner. At Cut Meat sta
ton men fought the flames for two
days and two nights, scarcely daring
to pause for food.
