While the new Tolovana strike near Fairbanks has all the appearance of developing into a camp that will be a big producer for years, the present is no time for mining men and prospect ors to stampede into the district, ac- cording to Thomas A. McGowan, of Fairbanks, counsel in Alaska for the Northern Commercial company. "The new district is a large one and should further development and prospecting show good pay there is room for 5000 people there. Just now, however, there is nothing certain about it. While good pay has been struck on some of the creeks the extent of the pay has not been determined, and un- til this is done the Tolovana is no place for a stampede. There are at present about 25O prospectors on the ground, and by the time the summer is over the new camp will have prov ed either a big strike or just an ordin- ary proposition. It seems to be the general impression, however that Tolovana is destained to be big camp"

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2.-JOseph p. Haller, the pioneer salmon camery operator of the Boring Sea died here today. Haller was the first man to demonstrate the immense richness of the salmon fisheries in Bristol Bay, and his entrance into that field was followed by many others, until today the canneries of Boring Sea, are turn ing out more canned fish than any other part of Alaska. Haller was manager of the North Alaska Salmon Company at the time he died, and was we'll known to many Alaskans, and a leading figure in the fishing in dustry.

The Press against the Saloons.

1.-The saloon is breeder of disorder,
the friend of anarchy, the inciter OF mob
violence, of riot, lawlessness and unre-
straint. The authorities so recognize IT
in every community that has been strick-
en- by calamity" Thus declares the
Kansas City Star, referring to the clos
ing of Galveston saloons during the pc
riod of excitement following the recent
hurricane. "Everywhere," it says, "in
times of public excitement from any
cause, one of the first things done by
the authorities is TO close the saloons
II was so in Kansas City during the
food of 1908"
The Minneapolis Tribune, commenting
editorally on the Star article, says: "a
year ago the Tribune would not have
given any person pleasant look who
offered, even as paid advertisement, an
article which thus siigmatized the ga.
loon. And we doubt very much II the
Kansas City Star year ago would have
dared TO write such an anaihema against
one of the most powerful interests of its
city. 1t is the press, backed and en-
couraged BY the w. C.. t. u, that IL
driving the saloons off the earth, and
these two mighty influences, working
hand in band, are going to bring about
it's demolition and damuation sooner than
most people believe"

A decidedly unusual accident occurred
on the 10Th when big Atlantic Shore
Line car was seen standing straight in
the air with its nose buried in the sand.
The scene drew hundreds OF spectators
TO Long Beach. Despite the fact that III
passengers were imprisoned inside the
car not one was seriously hurt, the
only injury reported being to a young
lady who complained OF a bruised shout
der The big car left the irons while
speeding along a level stretch and shot
fully 200 feet along grassy esplanade
and down a short embsnkment to the
beach into which it plunged head first.
As the car made the plunge the rear por-
ton left the trucks Embedded in the
sand, and stood up almost vertically.
Only the intervention of short flight OF
beach steps which acted as sort OF
brace prevented the car from turning
turtle. IL is said that broken rail
caused the accident. The mctorman
and conductor escaped and the 10 pas
sengers were all taken safely through
the front door. Not even pane OF
glass in the car was broken. IL took
big wrecking crew all the afternoon to
get the car back on to the rails.
