Ef'a.. g,S. lzs. as,-- <, -s -,.s ,-lsis.2 g VI Fifty Men Are al Work in Slide Trying to
 Find Body of Their
 FOn1er Comrade.
OTHERS MAY BE LOST
Mine Company Checking Employees List to Ascertain if Two
 Others in Slide.

According to report today there ig a possibility that two other men, who were seen in the vicinity of the Red Mill at the time of the slide which carried Benjamin Grout and Maurice Rasmussen to their deaths, were caught in the same slide. Re ports are rather indefinite and noth- ing can be learned for certain whether the men were caught or not. although careful check of the employees of the Perseverance mine is being made this afternoon to as- certain if any men are missing.
 The search for the body of Nau- rice Rasmussen is being continued today without success SO far. Last night on account of darkness and the high wind which was blowing, tie search was abandoned. This morning it was resumed by fifty men and has been continued all day.
 The snow which came down in the slide is packed very hard, and in parts of the slide it is like digging solid ice which makes the search a slow one.
 Rasmussen and GrOut were caught hy the slide while they were on top of a pole making repairs to the power line which had been broken by previous slides.
 The first slide at that point came down and passed between two poles of the power line, but it was deep enough to to reach the wire and break them.
 Rasmussen and Grout were up a pole making repairs to the line when a second slide came down and swept away the pole on which they were working, taking them with it. The two men who wcer on the ground saw the slide coming in time to get out of it's path and escaped.
 The body of Benjamin Grout, which was found yesterday after noon, was taken south today on the City of Seattle. Mrs. Grout, wife of the dead man and who resided in Douglas, accompanied the remains, which will be buried at La Grand. Oregon, where the Grouts formerly lived. As far as can be learned Ras- mussen was unmarried and leaves no relatives in this section.
 The big slide towards the Juneau side of Shady Bend, is estimated to be at least 1OCO feet wide and is said to have piled snow on the Per severance road to a depth of GO feet.
 Communication with Pcrsever- ancc was reopered today and it is expected that the power lines will be up by 4 o'clock this afternoon. In the meantime the mine is shut down as nothing can be done with out electricity.

SAVE GRAINS
MEASURE TO PROTECT FOOD
NON-PERISHABLE GRAINS
NOT TO BE USED.

Washington, June IA new bill
10 prohibit manufacture, during the
war, of foodstuffs into distilled spir-
its and malt liquors was ordered re
ported today by the senate agricul-
tural committee.
Another provision of the bill would
empower the president to requisition
existing supplies of distilled spirits.
if necessary, TO conserve food sup
plies or to secure alcohol for war
purposes.
The new bill is designed both as a
food conservation measure and a
step toward prohibition during the
war. Ii is not designed as a substi-
tute for either the food production or
control bills now pending, but as a
distinct measure combining many
prohibition resolutions and bills.
The bill would, by congressional
act. prohibit manufacture of non
p~erishable foodstuffs into intoXicat-
ing beverages and authorizes the
president TO prevent such use of
them.

Thousands of gallons of whisky
and hundreds upon hundreds of bar

been stored in huge dugouts, many
of which are guarded constantly by

The plot to keep Sioux City wet in

as long as a year ago, and has been
in execution for several months,
Spencer said.

on the alleged plot became known
when Spencer declared South Da-

to get liquor. He said the raiding
