RAY OF HOPE HELD
OUT FOR MISSING BOYS

TREADWELL, July q. - Early
yesterday afternoon when the first Of
the searchers who had gone out in the
morning began to return a ray Of
hope was felt for the three missing
boys, and the strained anxiety Of the
parents Of the boys greatly relieved
on the return Of Clarence Salmonson,
the brother of one of the missing
boys.
He and his party landed early yes
terday morning at the Dupont Pow
der works and made a systematic
search as far as Point Bishop, a dis
tance of y or ii miles. Near the
Indian village while the party was
eating their lunch, in a half-coyered
and deserted shack they came upon
some magazines and reading matter
with the name of the Hubbard news
store stamp on it. A careful search
then went on as far as Point Bishop
but failed in finding any further clue.
On Point Bishop there is an occupi-
ed cabin and the inmates declare that
the boys could not have passed there
unless after night. On their return
to Douglas, Mrs Hubbard, mother Of
one of the missing boys, identified the
magazine as the one taken in the
boat, and the fact that they were
found in a deserted cabin leads many
to believe that the boys are in the
woods on a huting or fishing trip,
leaving the reading matter as too
heavy to carry.
f. +. Dalwas, father of another Of
the missing boys, Ed. Mccormick and
Clarence Salmonson left early this
morning and will attempt to take up
any trail the boys may have left in
case they made a trip into the woods.

INSPECTOR
MAKES REPORT TO
GOVERNOR STRONG

Mining Inspector William 7. Ma
loney, who is working in the Fair
banks and Tolovana section this sum
mer has made his quarterly report to
Gov. j. +. A. Strong. According to the
report the number of underground
placer workings in the Fairbanks sec
ton has materially decreased, but
several rich spots have been struck
in that region on many of the creeks,
which will bring the average yield up
to the figures Of last year. 1t is eX-
pected that the output from the Fair
banks and TOlOvana section will ex-
ceed that Of last year on account of
the increased production from the
Tolovana.
Lode operations in that section have
this summer been confined to anti
mOny mining and over 1000 tons of
that ore will be shipped from there
during the summer. OF the ten
quartz mills in the section, only one
is being operated, and that only inter
mittentIy
Several small outfits are working
on tungsten lodes now. OFT and part
ners shipped 1900 pounds of the ore
by parcels post in March, but it was
delayed in delivery until June, when
the price had dropped from sos per
100 pounds to S25. OFT and partners
claim they had contracts for May de-
livery Of the ore at the price Of sos
and that the delay and their loss was
entirely due to the negligence Of the
postal authorities, says Mr.. MaIoney
in his report.

ASK HABEAS CORPUS FOR
WOMAN AT ANCHORAGE

A most interesting case occupied
the attention of the District court yes
terday afternoon and evening when L.
V. Ray petitioned for habeas cor
pus in the case Of Alafar Dunlap, a
woman who has been sentenced to
one year in Jail and a fine Of 1,5OO by
the Commissioner at Anchorage on
the charge Of selling liquor without a
license. 1t was the woman's third
conviction and bail was fixed at the
sum of $4,000. The habeas corpus is
asked for on the grounds that the SEN
tence and bail are excessive, that the
accused did not enjoy the constitutions
al right Of trial by jury and that the
justice court exceeded its jurisdiction.
A decision by Judge Jennings was
cited wherein it was held that de-
fendant in a criminal case had to have
a jury whether the defendant willed it
or not. Ray argued the case all the
afternoon for the woman and Judge
Munley argued for the state in the
evening.

IN WILDS OF ALASKA
DIDN'T HEAR OF WAR

FAIRBANKS, July 20. - After an
absence of two years in the Lake
Minchumina and Mt. Mckinley dis
tricts, Stephen Foster and Walter
Ames are back in Fairbanks once
more. During their long absence they
saw put very few white people; and
in fact for the first IA months they
never laid eyes on anyone but an
Indian, and only a few of them.
One of the interesting facts Of their
trip, and showing how far they were
removed from civilization, was the
fact that they did not hear Of the war
in Europe until March, 1915, or eight
months after it had started. 1t was by
the merest accident that they learned
it. Mr.. Foster was visiting at Tieda,
where he met a couple Of prOspectOrs.
Casually one of the partners remark
ed something about a battle. Mr..
Foster, at once curious, asked what
battle, and for the first time learned
of the great struggle and gained what
meager information the trappers had.
While in the Lake Minchumina dis.
trict they did some trapping and hunt
ing.

The AVALANCHE

Last Friday a number of business
men called at the Glaicer Office to pro-
pose, since we had had no news from
the outside world since the preceding
Tuesday morning. that Portland's news
sources be tapped and that local tenn
porary daily sheet be issued. Acting
on the suggestions the Glacier had
communicated with the Portland Tele-
gram and Oregonian. Shortly after
one O'Clock Friday. bulletins began to
arrive. and the proposed daily was as
suming material form when the local
O..W. X. & N. office advised that a
train from the west would be through

PROHIBITION

A great many of the states of the
United States have tried prohibition.
There have been laws and laws, and
many of them have not been enforced
because Of the overwhelming anti. pro-
hibition sentiment in certain centers of
population. Naturally, prohibition laws
in such cases have been the breeders of
trouble. more or less corrupt politics
and disrespect for law.
1t was peculiarly fortunate state of
affairs when Oregon and Washington
went dry simultaneously, and both by a
majority sentiment in practically all
communities. As result we have in
these two states--at least we have had
so far prohibition in fact. Popular
sentiment is demanding that the law
be strictly enforced. In fact there
seems to be no effort, except on the
part of the ever present bootlegger. to
violate the word or letter of the stat
utes. And, all in all, from reports
from former license territories the
effect has been good.
Less suffering and less poverty have
been apparent. Money that had for.
merly been spent for drink for some
besotted husband has gone for better
food and clothing for wife and chill.
dren. The month of abstinence just
passed has certainly demonstrated that
booze is not necessity to the welfare
and progress of the commonwealth of
Oregon.
