 Tt is true that shortly after the first of the year, sometime around Febraury list, expect to resign my position with the w. P. & Y. R. company to take up other comec- tions of such importance that I feel that I cannot, in justice to my self, longer overlook them.
 Had l consulted my own wishes two years ago, | would have left Alaska at that time, but being in the midst of organization work I did not feel that I could, in defer ence to the interests I represented, leave it unfinished. That work has HOW been followed to a definite conclusion, however, and am

HOT CAMPAIGN MARKS
 WEST VIRGINIA FIGHT

Charleston, W. Va, Nov. 3--West virginia ballot.ed today for six rep resentatiyes in the national House ot Representatives-one from each Of it's five districts and one at !arge-and members of the leg islature.
 The democrats were claiming that they would carry the state by progressives and republicans were expected to make good showing. Leaders of the former were particu- larly optimistic and looked for re- publican support. The campaign was a hot one. In Logan county the county court was forced by writ Of mahdamus to sit extra session and register republicans who charg- ed that they were not permitted to list themselves during the regular registration. Politics were blamed for the shooting up" Of the homes of a number of negroes in an al- ieged effort to frighten them away from the polls.

AMENDMENTS AROUSE
 INTEREST IN TEXAS

Dallas, Texas, Nov. 3-A victory for the democratic state candidate, for the two democratic candidates for congressman at-large and in the sixteen congressional districts was the only expected result in today's election. The certainty of an overwhelming democratic majority, which always brings out light vote in state elections, was slightly | offset today by balloting on three proposed amendments to the state constitution, including one providing for the initiative and referendum.
 This amendment, ordinarily like ly to pass, seemed doomed to de feat today owing to the opposition Of the staunchest friends of the initiative and referendum. The proposal, originally introduced ill the form of the perfect WlsCohsln plan, was changed in the last hours Of the 1913 legislature's session.
 The defect iS the proposal, ac- cording to l. and l. advocates, is it's provision fer the legislature to put the amendment into operation and it's demand for a 20 per cent voters petition.
 The two other aInendm ents voted On today were likely to pass, authorizing counties bordering on the Gulf of Mexico to build sea- walls and increasing the compensa- tion of the legislature and extend- ing the length Of the regular ses- siOD

northern sphere of action, according
to this afternoons official report.
Two vigorous attacks, one Oh the
Labasse and one southeast of Tpres,
have been repulsed by thee al .
Comparative calm prevails al,

All the reports received to-day n
dicate that the Germans have9 suffer
ed numerous reverses, making no de-
cided gain anywhere Their effort to
reach the French coast seems to be
eftectually blocked, while portions Of
their great army fighting the allies
are getting severe punishment in a.
tacks on the line in attempts to find
a weak place to cut through.
Dispatches from Russian points
claim great success for the Russians,
while the German war office, it has
been learned, remains silent on
events in the Russian zone. This ST.
lence, officials so believe, means that
the Germans have suffered such re-
verses in battles with the Russians
that they are endeavoring to keep the
details from receiving general circu-
lation.

SHRIMP FACTORIES CLOSED,
BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY.
Demand Has Been Off Recently, but
improvement is Soon Expected.

The plant of the Glynn Canning
Company, which has been canning
shrimp for the past few months,
closed down temporarily yesterday
afternoon, while one of the new fac
tories has been closed for several
days. The Seafood Company is still
in operation and, 1T is understood,
has orders ahead to keep it going for
some time.
The temporary closing of the fac
tories is a result of the decline re-
Gently in the demand for canned
shrimp, and the desire of the owners
to get some of the supply off their
hands. The Glynn Canning Com
pany, which has been running on full
time ever since it was put into op-
seration, has large supply on hand.
The company also has many orders
to fill, and, as soon as the supply Is
reduced, the plant will again resume
operation.
