mate with this new force of capitalists which will invade the territory with great hustle, many of the most important camps have been the scene of operations of experts spe- cially hired by McIlhenny to obtain control of large groups of ,lowgrade but extensive gold deposits.
 Their operations have been kept so prl- vate and such secrecy has all along been maintained that outside the Idltarod and Bear creek work, done with considerable flourish of trumpets, the more important deals have been kept profound secret with all but those most intimate with the ring controlled by the Louisiana millionaire.
 The Alaska Syndicate in this city is said to be watching McIlhenny's moves with considerable interest and attention.

pality.'
"You will note that the constitution
deals only with certain powers as indi-
Gated in the foregoing language in re-
lation to the sale of intoxicating IL
quors, whereas the charter amendment
purports to deal with the gift or the
offer to give. 1t would be presumptious
in me to express a hard and fast opin.

" In answering the same beg to say
that the language of Section "a is un-

unlawful for any person to GIVE
or offer to give, sell, barter or ex-
change to any person or persons whom
soever within the limits of the city of
Salem, Oregon, any rum, whisKey, etc. y
In my opinion this language covers the
first part of your question as plainly as
could express it and it is an attempt
to 60 as far as indicated in your ques
J tion and effects every person even tC
the members of a family.
"Touching the latter portion of you
question as to such unlawful action rem
dering any person "subject to arrest
fine and punishment beg to say that
the charter amendment does not go tt
this extent. The amendment to Sectio,
G, paragraph 10, authorizes the counci
to pass ordinances providing fines anC
penalties for the unlawful acts men
toned in Section "a, including tn,
giving away of rum, whiskey, etc
You will note, however, that the powe
to punish is not as broad as the term

makes it unlawful to offer to give an,
