The whole announcement is taken to that the Germans have given up hopeless the attempt to reach the big cities on the French coast and this would mean in turn that they have abandoned the attempt to attack England directly It is admitted of course that long the German right rests on the coast at Osend the attempt to turn cannot be tried The next in the great game is now being watched for The result of the great struggle in Russian Poland sure to have telling effect the campaigng here and it is not unlikely that both sides will await de- cisive news from the east.

TRAIL TO RUBY
 NOW ASSURED
NEW POST OFFICE AND MAIL RUN ESTABLISHED AT
 TAkOTNA.

A new post office has been establish ed at Takotna according to Postmast- CT Hickey and a new mail run has been established from that point to Ruby, fact which is of the most supreme importance to this city as it insures the continuous existence of a winter trail all the way between Seward and Ruby and the districts in the lower end of the Yukon river. A mail run has also been established between Takotna and McGrath on the Kuskokwim so that a regular net work of trails are now converged on the Seward trail. These trails reach even as far as Nome from which place the winter travellers will now undoubtedly come this way.

SEATTLE, Nov. 5.-The majority for prohibition in the state of Wash ington is now over thireen thousand but it will probably go much higher and this state is at last up against the closing of the saloons. According to the law all the saloons will have to close in January 1916 so that they have only thirteen months of exist ence ahead of them.
 C. c. Dill, the democrat, has been elected in the Spokane district but republicans have won all the other districts, Senator Jones plurality ex- ceeds twenty thousand.

DEMOCRATS HOLD THE
 HOUSE BY TWENTY

CHICAGO, Nov 5.-It is now as- sured that the democrats will hold the next house by majority of twenty. The Progressives have lost nearly all their members and the fate of that party seems to be sealed completely. It is also learned this morning that Sherman has beaten Roger Sullivan and is reelected United States sen- ator. In California Phelan is surely elected and replaced a republican in the U. S. senate. As a result of his election the democrats will probably make slight gains in the senate. The senatorial election results in Kansas, Colorado and Wisconsin are still un- known.

wien the bill was disposed OF.
The house adjourned before Chair
man Glass of the house committee on
banking and currency had an oppor-
tunity 10 bring the matter to the atten-
ton of the house. The bill was cOnsid-
cred and agreed to by the committee
while the senate at the other end OF
the capitol was debating it. II is be-
lieved that the house will pass the
measure promptly.
The Aldrich-Vreeland act provides
for the issuance of S5O0,OOO,OOO of
emergency currency based on CONNER
cial paper to be taxed at an initial
rate of 3 per cent and an increase of
one-half per cent per month in the rate
until n maximum of per cent is
reached.
Brief statements were made in the
senate to the effect that the passage
of the amendment was purely a pre-
cautionary measure and not dictated
by fear in any quarter that the banks
are unable to meet the demands which
up to this time have been made upon
them.

STEEL STEAMERS
FOR MISSISSIPPI
II. H. Liemke of St. Louis Pro
noting Line Between st.
Paul and Gulf.

Quincy, ILL.,. Aug III. H. Liemke
of St Louis, a veteran steamboat man
who served as pilot on packet boats
operated on Che upper Mississippi by
the Northern steamboat line in the
COS, is in Quincy for a visit of few
days, to call on business men with a
view of interesting them in a plan TO
establish a line of steel packet boats
and steel self-propelled freight RATS to
operate from st. Paul to the gulf.
Quincy as the center of a great boat
building industry and the rehabilita-
ton of the once celebrated river traffic
is the picture which Mr.. Liemke is
painting for the benefit of those he
nay interest in his project. He says
he is not selling stock in his company,
but is securing traffic pledges. to be
fulfilled by manufacturers, shippers
and business men when the line is
completed and the boats are in opera
ton. The purpose of his visit to Quin-
CIV is, he says. to interest local capital
lists in establishing boat building yards
where the steel boats for the Liemke
line may be constructed.
II is the theory of Mr.. Liemke that
the Mississippi will become the great
est avenue for freight and passenger
traffic in the country, now that the
Panama canal is finished and in ser
vice. The trade from South America
and gulf ports on the Atlantic side
and South and North American ports
he
anna canal. will in time, he believes,
exceed the freight traffic of the great
est railroads in the United States. And,
inasmuch as a great deal of this bust
ness will come up the Mississippi, pro-
viding there are modern vessels to
care for it. there is need for just such
a line as he would establish.
Other methods for transportation
have been modernized, but the packet
boats of today are much the same, he
s.ys, as the packet boats of half cen
fury ago. Steel boats have proven a
success in coast and ocean service,
and he knows of no reason why they
should not be equally successful in
river service.
II is the plan to build fleet of pack
ct and freight boats, starting with two
of each and adding others as the bust
ness grows. The boats would be of
steel, with steel hulls, and structural
steel for the framework of the upper
decks. In the hulls shall be air-tight,
TO make sinking impos-
sible. The larger packet boats would
be about $50 feet long and 60 feet wide
and be operated from New Orleans to
Quincy. smaller boats to operate from
Quincy TO st. Paul. The freight barges
may go through from the gulf to the
Twin Cities. Small freight shipments
may be carried on the packet boats
to be stored in the bulls. The big ship
nents will go on bargeA
