LIQUOR TRAFFIC ON TRIAL
 IN PACIFIC COAST STATES

states of California Oregon and Washing ton will on Tuesday next vote upon the prohibition question. and the chief interest in the election centers upon the success CT failure of the efforts of the ProhIDitIonists to carry their propaganda.
 The utmost confidence in the result is expressed by both the "wets' and the ~arys,' each claiming victory, It is be Geved however, that the overwhelming vote of the larger cities will be cast against prohibition, and that 1t will more than offset the prohibition sentiment of the farm ing communities and the snajler mn1E palitieS.
 As an index to the sentiman. preva.I-,,5 it is [ ..ed that bets are being offered ot six to one that California will rem@n ''wet," two to one that Oregon VIII go "dry" and three to one tha, Was :ron will vote wet"

 From a late arrival in the city The l'ln- neer learns that considerable trail work IS now going on in the vicinity of Takotna, which will result in shortening the thor oughfare in that locality at least fifteen miles. The N. C.

Captain William Gelger, the pioneer homesteader of McGrath, IS cutting a new route from that place and Frank Fox, who conducts the Salmon River road house, is cutting the road from his place to meet the Geiger party. Tom Boyd, who has a sub-contract from Colonel Revelle for carrying the mails over long stretch of the Iditarod Seward trail, is contributing substantially toward the new road-building in that section.

He was born in Ger many in 186. While a young boy he showed remarkable ability in the me chanicaI line and devised many new mechanical inventions. On account of his ingenuity in that line, he was giv- en the contract of making all the in struments for the University of F'reid- burg, he devising and making an ap- .paratus for testing the action of the heart in 1867, Later, MT. Beaumeister accepted a position as superintendent of a machine concern at Baden-Badeu, Germany where 10000 men were en1- p1oyed.
 While connected with this factory he began preparations for the inven- ton of the first talking machine and perfected 1t in the year 1868. He sold the first machine to Brazil the same year Leaving that lucrative position on account of poor health, he came to America in 1880, and made Bridgeport his home. In 1888 he perfected ar rangements for the sale of his talking machine to P. T. Barnum to be used in Barnum's circus, but the ship which

Y., and two daugh- .ters Mrs. Charles Bue of Whitney ave nue, and Mrs. William Woerner of New York city and several grandchildren
 MT. Baumeister was a gentleman of wide culture and kept himself thor ough1y posted on the affairs Of the world. He was close student of the history of nations and was famil- lar with the scientific achievements of all ages. His mental faculties re- mained unimpaired to the last and in his passing the city loses a. sturdy citizen and the German race one of it's finest types. At his funeral which will be held at St. Joseph's German Catholic church, his son will officiate at the solemn requiem mass.

Donovan Acts
Sends Complaint of Bridge porter to Department
 of Justice
,Ry our stan Correspondent.) ,


 Washington, Aug. Representative Donovan today forwarded to the De- partment of Justice the statement of a. resident of Bridgeport to the effect that he bought sugar in a Bridgeport store on August IS, paying 25 cents for three pounds and that a few days before he bought 9 pounds for a dol lar at the same store. The depart ment desires to get information in this form as it enables them to start their investigation and place the blame.
 The retailer cannot be held at fault if he~has been forced to sell the sugar at the increased price by wholesalers, and the wholesaler cannot be held re- sponsib1e if he has been boosted by the manufacturers, and there cannot be any prosecutions unless it Is proven that there is combination formed to put up the prices.
 The Department of Justice hopes when 1t has finished with it's examin- ations to make a report to the Ameri- can people putting the blame where 1t belongs as well as being. able to prosecute where it finds there has been combinations engaged in Interstate trade. Those who make a, statement will help the government to add more specific links to it's chain of evidence, and no injury will be brought to the merchants who have been forced by circumstances to self at a, profit.
 In Washington the people are form ing consumers leagues to buy food-' stuffs for their members in wholesale lots and the distribution of the goods is to be taken charge of by the Bureau of Weights and Measures Of the Dis trict of Columbia.
 The consumers here have been hard hit by the alleged unwarranted increase on the price of sugar and four in the same Proportion as the consumers throughout the country
