PROHIBITION NOW
 CERTAIN IN B. C.
sSctdiefs'Votss Cast :n England Give Majority Against But Cannot
 Possibly Overtake Lead.
Vancouver World]

A private cable has been re- ceived from England giving some particulars of the soldiers vote on the Prohibition referendum that is now being counted in the Agent-General's office in London. The votes of ten constituencies, counted so far, give the following vote on Prohibition: Against, 6o4; for, 2S0; spoiled, 66.
 If the remainder of the con stituencies of the province should go in the same proportion it would mean a majority of the soldiers vote abroad against Pro- hilton or about 15, GOO, which, of course, would still leave a hand some majority in favor of the measure not excepting even whatever extra soldiers votes may be polled between now and the first of the year.

A. O'kelly was in town from Frosty Bay all last week having some work done at the machine shop. We happened to make a trip to the machine shop while the work for MT. Kelley was being done, and noticed that in pulling a wheel of a shaft four iron hooks were used to bind the wheel to a large nut that worked on a two inch scew. The theads of the screw were eight to the inch. The lever used to work the screw was four feet. It took two men who could pull about two hundaed pounds each to work the lever. The screw was pointed against the shaft. Question: How strong a pull did it take to pull the wheel of the shaft?

JOHN H. COBB MAKES SPEECH
 IN WRANGELL Tells How He Secured the Present Fund for Terri
 tory of Alaska
"SOME FACTS YOU
 OUGHT TO KNOW"
Denounces Alexander Bill As An Attempt to Turn Fisheries Over to
 Big Interests

There are three candidates for the important office of attorney gen. erai of Alaska. The people of Vrangell have had the privilege of hearing only one of them. Two weeks ago George B. Grigsby, the democratic candidate, visited Wrangell, and Spent two days mingling with the people. Attrac- tions had been previously an- nounced for both nights that he was in Wrangell, and he was un- able to remain here longer and keep his appointment to speak in Aetchlkan.
 Tuesday night John H. Cobb, the acting attorney general, de- iivered a speech in the Redmen's S nall. Mir. Cobb was introduced by l.. c. Churchill. The speaker 'alked straight from the shoulder !. md received the closest attention from start to finish. No one left the hall while he was speaking,
 In it's effort to print the news the Sentinel would very much like to be able to publish the full text of any speech worth printing delivered in Wrangell upon the issues of the day, regardless of the speakers political affiliations, if he has any. But With our present facilities we can only give an ab- stract containing what we consi der the most salient points of the ad- dress.
 MT. Cobb said he was not ma- king a political speech so much as he was making a report to his clients, the people of Alaska, of what, as their acting attorney gen eral, he had done for them. He explained the many and important duties of the attorney general. He then explained the failure of the revenue bill of 1913 to produce any revenue for the Territory, and how the Second legislature spent 5 of the 6o days Session working on a general property tax law, when they found that to collect money for the Territory under such a law would take 50 per cent of all the moneys collected to pay the ex- penses of carrying the lawinto effect. He said that on the night of the 57th day of the Second legislature a joint committee of the House and Senate sent for him and asked him to draw a licensed tax bill; that between II o'clock at night and } Q clock in the morning he drafted the presnt revenue law of Alaska.
 Having drawn the bill, the gov enor, on July I, 1915, naturally appointed him to enforce it, and made him the acting attorney gen. eral.
 MT. Cobb said he could not with propriety speak of the work he had done as legal advisor to the gov enor and other territorial officials. But he spoke fully of his public work in enforcing the collection of taxes. He said that when he was appointed we had an empty treas ury, and the legislature had ap- propriated S2o5,ooO which was all the money they thought likely to be collected.
 MT. Cobb said he found there

Was d Sltdl uCdi lllOIt OWluS lHe Territory of Alaska from the blg fishing and mining companies than the amount appropriated, and he went after it and got it; that he had collected money to meet all the appropriations, and on October I2, 1916, there was in the treasury cash balance of a little over s254,ooo. In addition to this, there were judgments, directly and indirectly, for back taxes for up wards of S3oo, 900 to be paid within 50 days. Besides this there was more than S35o,ooo taxes for the year IeIo, which will be due Jan- uary I next from the big mines and and fisheries, and he felt justified in saying that when the next legis- lature convenes in March, 1917, there would be a surplus on hand of three quarters of million dollars, and with the revenues for the next two years the legislature of 1917 would have over a million dollars available for appropriations, and that the objections to full local self government for lack of revenue were forever put at rest. This, he said, was the result of his work for the people of Alaska for the past 15 months.
 MT. Cobb further said that the work that he had been doing would devolve upon the attorney general to be elected Nov. 7; that there were three candidates for the po- sition. First, Mir. George D. Schotield, who was endorsed by the regular Republican convention at Seward. Second, MT. George B. Grigsby, who was endorsed by the Democratic organization. The third candidate, MT. Cobb said, was himself, and that he was nom- mated by more than 700 legally qualified voters of Alaska, but without the endorsement of any political organization. He said they nominated him because he had made good, and that he did not feel that he had the right, nor had he

 He then took up the Alexander bill and said that if it passed it would take away the right of com- mon fisheries in Alaska, giving a. way millions of dollars of property that belonged to the people, and that the independent fisherman who took his daily bread from the hand of God would have to get off the wa- ters of Alaska or become a criminal. lie Sdlu that lG ilctd dOIlC dil III tlio power to help the delegate to Con- gress to defeat that bill, but that the newspapers of Alaska had re- fused to discuss the matter until after the return of the delegate.
 In conclusion, MT. Cobb told the people that if elected he would carry out the work for the future just as he had in the past, but that if the people were willing to trust either of his opponents with the duties of the office it was their privileges; that they were sov- ereigps, and had the right to do as they pleased, and no one could or should criticize them for their de- cision.
