Plane A Curiosity
 To Arctic Dweuer

Laying aside his pursuit of banning gold and closing his little cabin, 40 miles south of the Arctic circle. c. H. Wheeler, of Circle City, Alaska, has come down to the ''settlementS'' for the second time in 26 years. Sixteen years ago Wheeler left Alaska for the first time since he joined the gold rush in 1895. coming as far south as Seattle. Since then he has not left Circle City. Wheeler has never seen an afrp1ane. There has been @ lot of changes since I was last in the states but the principal thing I'm interested in is sec ing an airplane. We don't have them up our way, and Pm anxious to look at one,'' he said.
 Wheeler likes to go to the movies, but as the nearest theatre is 100 miles from Circle City, he seldom sees a show. 'aThe last movie I saw was six years ago in Fairbanks. It's been a long time, but believe me I'm makTng g up for lost time down here in San Francisco. Between going to shows, sightseeing and keeping on the look out for an airplane I manage to keep pretty busy.'' Shortage of water has prevented many of the prospectors in Alaska from banning gold this summer. says Wheeler.
 After a short stay in San Francisco
 Wheeler will go east by way of the | Panama canal. He will visit his old

No Hope For Repeal Of !. 5. Dry Law,
 Observer Ayers

London. Oct. 14.-'"The American drinking saloon Is dead. prohibition has killed it. Nothing can revive it. :"
 In this triology of staccato remarks Dr. H. J. Campbell, of Christ church, Westminster, who is back in London after a long journey through the United States, gave his opinion of prohibition in America.
 'I have tested the opinion of lead CTS of thought in the states" said the Rev. Doctor, ''and I find almost a unanimous belief, from Maine to Cali fornia, that no community will ever consent to repeal prohibition. Never theless, I have lined at many a table where wine and liquor were on the table. My hosts invariably said that it was pre-prohibition stuff and, of course, I lay low and said nothing"
 Dr. Campbell admits the prevalence of the view among important Ameri- cans he met that through prohibition the country was getting more and bet ter results out of it's workers than ever before.
 Altogether" he said, 'it seems to me that prohibition in the U. S. A. has made for gain and not at all for loss"
 Touching on the subject of the Angio-Japanese alliance. the doctor said that he feels convinced that the United States will never consent to be a third party in an alliance with any other power.
 "'we do not fear Japan for our selves" represents the best American view" says Dr. Campbell. we look, however, on the intentions of the Japs in China. Western civilization should civilize China. Japan, with its Prus- sian ideas, could only raise up a con- glomerate military power in the Far East which must eventually settle the fate of all the East from the Pacific to the gates of Europe-perhaps even settle the destinies of the Russian peo- ple, part Asoatic as they so largely are, with Japan exercising all the power that Prussia once hoped to wieId in her insane dream of world

20, 900 MINERS, ALI IDLE MANY
 MONTHS, RETURN TO WORK

Mexico City, Oct. 14-Twenty thou sand miners. who have been idle and destitute for many months, have been re-employed during the last few days owing to active resumption of mining operations in the mineral states, ac- cording to reports received here.
 Mines have been reopened every where, and the movement is extend ing. This brightens the prospect for the coming year, as there will be con siderably less unemployment than was expected.
 It is said also that the renewed op- erations at the mines will cause a number of the smelters to reopen. giving work to additional thousands. At present only one or two smelters are handling ore in Mexico despite the fact that this is one of the great est n1ineral-producing countries in the world.
 In addition to promising better con- ditionS for labor, the renewed mining activity has given a more cheerful outlook fa- hI,si.aa-~N

John Zaberlin, a fisherman. gave his
life for his fellow was told here

along these toward the boat until
Vidovich became exhausted. After
that Zaberlin held to his companion
with one hand and edged toward
the vessel with the other and his
feet. The only other man aboard
was injured but stayed at the wheel.
After a bitter struggle Zaberlin put
Vidovich over the rail and clam

said. Il am going to die now."
Then Vidovich said, Zaberlin fell
to the deck, dying almost at once.

Fear Spread Of
Coal Strike in
Great Britain
Railway and Transportation
Workers Meet Today
Miners Attack Several
Collienies.

| London, April 5.-With all Goa

public is considering tonight whethcl
the paralysis will extend to the rail
ways and other transportation ant
even among workers generally.
Parliament discussed the situation
today without taking any steps. The
national transport workers fedora
ton delegates conferred withou
reaching a decision as to whether
to call strike in support of ths
miners. The railway men, the trans
port workers and the miners, will
meet separately tomorrow.
The miners took strong measures
in several places today against own
ers protecting their property. A sue
ccssful attack was made on the
guardian of a mine near Edinburgh
Scotland. A thousand miners
marched to the pithead of the Ocean
! Colieries in Rhondda, Wales, and
successfully demanded withdrawal OF
the officials working the pumps. Re
ferees in several towns have refused
applications of strikers for unenploy-
ment pay.
Four hundred delegates represent
ing 100000 workers attended the
meeting of the transport mems dele
gates. 1t is reported they are consid-
ering other measures to help the min
ers as an alternative to striking, one
measure. being a refusal to transport
coal.
Reports of factories closing con-
tinue to be published. The attitude OF
the public and workers seemingly
is that this is as good time as
any for threshing out the vital prob
lem of reduced wages, which the
employers contend is necessary if the
country is to continue doing business
and which the workers insist should
be accomplished by gradual stages
if it cannot be avoided.
The government is concentrating
troops in kensington Gardens in
the fashionable west end district,
supposedly in connection with plans
to maintain order in the event of
strike disturbances. Soldiers there
