VICTOR OMEz
 DIES OUTSIDE

The many friends of Victor Ome1. formerly of the Hotel Northern, were greatly surprised to learn on Saturday of his death in Seattle The wire bringing the information was receiN ed by Emil Van Raes from his wife, who is in Seattle at the present time. The cause Of the death is believed to have been con sumption, as MT OmeZ contracted lung trouble after he had had an operation performed at Mayo Broth CTS for an affection Of the throat. Mir Omez had contemplated com ing north this spring but decided that he was physi ally unable to attempt the trip. Accordingly he purchased chicken ranch near Vancouver and went there, although he made occasional trips to Seattle, in which latter city ne died.
 The deceased was native of Belgium and was about 46 years of age. He went to Dawson in early days and came to Fairbanks on the first stampede to this part of the territory. He was therefore very familiar figure to all of the old timers of the camp. He is survived by brother who lives Oh a small ranch just Outside of Seattle and by several sisters in Belgium. He is credited with hay ing an estate of probably $1O,UJO. His holdings here consist of a house and lot on the corner of Fourth avenue and Cowles. It Is presumed that his burial will take place in Seattle.

City Unable to
 Handle His Case

On complaint made by Ander son Brothers X Nerland, Al DelarO was taken into custody Saturday on the charge of stealing motor boat propeller by Chief of Police Frank C. Wiseman. The chief had traced the missing propeller to a second hand store. and had discoV- cred that It was Delano who had sold 1t.
 Delano has now, however been turned over to the federal authori- ties, for the reason that his theft is of a different nature from those in which he has heretofore engaged. He has pleaded guilty to numerous petty offenses in city court in the past.

WHAT TT MEANS.

Called up by the arrival of Tom
 McGowan from the Outside with a poke containing fifteen hundred shin ing dollars of American Liquor Dealers Association money. SO 1t is said, the prohibition question has partially occupied the minds of those Fairbanksans who make 1t their business to inquire into the questions of the day during the past week The money was sent north presumably for the purpose of starting a campaign against pro- hibition, which, according to law. is to be voted upon by the people of Alaska at the election next fall. And MT McGowan. as the repre- sentative of the liquor interests. has engaged the hot stuff(!)" News Miner to advocate the cause of liquor. Therefore the News Miner has been busily engaged in

THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR.

Every evening during the past two weeks the News Miner has come cut with lengthy and practically unreadable editorials regarding pro hibition in the city of Fairbanks and in Alaska The evils of prohi- bition have been handled and the damages which would accrue to Fairbanks if strict prohibition was adopted here, have been gone into at great length And the editor of the News Miner in some of his edl- torials has attacked The Citizen for printing on it's editorial page under the head of Communications" & letter received by this paper telling of some of the inconsistencies of this same editor. for which, by the way. he is more noted than for the hot stuff" which he boasts of writing in years gone by, but which he does not write any more. because he had to go Outside to be educated to a point where he could see that it was not the thing to do.
 On the front page of this paper this morning is our weekly cartoon, and there are. no doubt, but very few people who read both The Citi. zen and the News Miner who will not be able to tell it's meaning, even though there are very few words of reading matter on 1t in cluding the caption. But for the benefit of those who do not read both papers, we will say that It is fully explanatory of the situation, as far as the editor of the News Miner is concerned for The Almighty Dollar" is at the bottom of his change of heart as regards prohibl- tion, and not the education he claims to have secured on the Outside
 Tom McGowan. of course, denies the allegation, excepting to say that he has been promised the support of the liquor interests on the Out side. providing it Is needed. To which it can be said that, while Tom is known to be 6 very public spirited individual, and while 1t may be a fact that he Is working in the interests of the Northern Commer- cial company as the largest liquor dealers in Fairbanks, still $500 Is a good sized piece of money, and his bit for putting through deal whereby the liquor interests on the Outside would gain the support of local newspaper would be no small one.
 And there is evidence in at least two of the News Miners editorials that the editor of that paper WOULD accept donations to the cause from local saloon men In the shape of advertising matter. Which Is only another proof that "The Almighty Dollar" is doing the work allotted to it in the matter of News Miner editorials Rut no new saloon ads in the News Miner have greeted the eyes Of the evening sheet as yet
