Prospects of Future
Contests

The Harrington polo team showed
considerable promise Of developing
into a fast moving organization
here Sunday. although 1t was de-
feated 1872 by the Fort Brown ag-
gregation Of officers.
The games was played on the avi-
alton field In a slow, cold drizzle.
Despite this fact. a fair sized
gathering was or hand to witness
the debut Of the Harlingen horse
men. The grounds were a little
too wet for a real display Of horse
manship and the Harrington riders
were somewhat handicapped.
Mai. Oliver I. Holman of Fort

with the showing Of the Harlin-
gen entry. THE final score did
not indicate the eveness Of the
game. and I believe that with a
little more practice Harlingen will
be able to give an excellent account

ground is wet making difficult any other kind of prospecting.
 The ground owned by the com pany is on the Shungnak River. Little work has been doen in the Kobuk since the rush there in '9S, MT. Alexander said, and there are large areas which have never been prospeeted.
 With James at the present time are Mike Garlad, Joe LaRue, gener- al construction foreman during the building of the F. E. Company's Chatanika dredge, and a couple of natives. Charles Maxwell, who went into the Kobuk with them, is in charge of the trading post at Kevilian this winter. The post is one of five owned by Tom Bergman of Kotzebue. Maxwell is the only white man in the village in which the post is located.
 The winter in the Kobuk has been comparatively mild, he said, and there has been considerable snow and lots of wind There is just about half the amount of game that was in the country last year.
 Most of the Indians along the Kobuk, numbering about a thou sand, failed to catch much fur early in the season and migrated to the Noatak where the fur is more plen- tiful Normally there are about 25 natives in the vicinity of Shung- nak.
 While coming out from the Ko- bulk via Kotzebue, MT. Alexander saw the deer herd that is being driven across Alaska by the Lomen Reindeer Corporation to the North west Territories for delivery to the Canadian government. The herd was between the Sewalik and Ko- bulk rivers. Dr. Benson, who is to accompany the drive, was waiting for the herd at the mouth of the Salmon river. On account of bad

There is a penalty of s400 for a vessel leaving Canada without clearance. or $200O if the cargo Is liquor.
 These matters come under the customs and the excise acts and can be changed only by act of Par lament. While the loss to the Do- minion's revenues by the contem- plated change will be in the neigh borhood of $2O.OO0,0OO a year for legal export and $9,0O0,OO0 for ex- else, the gain in national self respect and international goodwill will be thought to be sufficient compensation.

PLACER GOLD FOUND
 NORTH OF ARCTIC CIRCLE

From a mining standpoint the outlook in the Kobuk country ap- pears encouraging but the area Is so large that much work must be done before any definite conclusions as to future development may be arrived at.
 That is the opinion of c. E. Alex ander, engineer who arrived at Fair banks several days ago with lot of first hand information. "All we know now is that it looks good enough to prospect" he said. The country is highly mineralized, but prospecting operations will have to be carried on for some time yet to determine if mining can be carried on profitably.
 MT. Alexander added that the Kobuk is not "a poor mans coun- try" It's inaccessibility, which makes the cost of transporting sup plies there very high, is a bar to the man with limited capital. So far as has been discovered to date the ground is low grade, not rock enough to work on a small scale, and requiring a good deal of money to install the mining machinery which would be needed.
 AIthough comparatively low grade there is plenty of volume. Whether dredges would be taken in if values sufficient to warrant development are found, MT. Alex ander is unable to say at this time.
 He has been in the northern dis trict since last April. While he is gone prospecting will be continued by other stockholders of the North west Alaska Mines, Inc, of which he is a director. A drill was freighted in last September and Billy James and other members of the company are drilling now. The

CANADA MOVES TO HALT
 LIQUOR FLOW INTO U. s.

OTTAWA Legislation will be introduced during the present ses- sion of Parliament empowering the Department of Customs and Excise to refuse clearances to boats with cargoes of liquor destined for the United States.
 This means that Canada will comply with the repeated requests of the United States for full coop eration in the latter's efforts to put an end to rum-smuggling between the two countries.
 It is understood that W. L. Mac kenzie King, Prime Minister, at a Liberal caucus, denounced the Ca- nadian export of liquor to the Unit ed States and won the approval of his colleagues, to his putting a stop to it by amending the customs act. Such action on Mir. Kings part was in accordance with his recently ex- pressed views on the matter and the intimation given some months ago as to his intention to comply with the wishes of the United States and widespread public opin- lon in his own country in this re- gard.
 At present the Government has To power to refuse clearances tc liq- uor cargoes so long as the excise duty is paid. To insure the liquor being actually shipped out of the country the revenue officers collect a bond of double the duty payable, which means in the case of whisky,

The story is told of a peasant with troubled conscience who had come to a monk for advice. The peasant had circulated islander about a friend-only to find out later that 1t wasn't true.
 The monk was old and wise. 'If you want to make peace with your conscience" he said, you must fill a bag with chicken down, go to every dooryard in the village. and drop in each of them one fluffy feather"
 The peasant did as he was told. Then he came back to the monk and announced that he had done penanee for his folly. Not yeti" said the monk sternly. Take up your bag, go the rounds again, and gather up every feather that you have droppedl"
 But the wind must have blown them all away"
 'Yes, my son." replied the monk. And so it is with gossip. Words are easily dropped, but no matter how hard you try, you can never get them back again. Merle Crow ell in The American Magazine.

NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA RECEIVING
 MUCH ATTENTION
Peace River Being Surveyed by Aallways-Most Complete Exami- nation of Rich Canadian Terri tory Ever Made.

VICTORIA, B. C.-The present unprecedented interest in the de- veIopment of the Peace River coun- try, Canada's great potential north ern granary, is generally believed to presage the construction of Pa cific Railway outlet for this area within the visible future.
 Four developments in recent months have focused attention on the efforts of the British Columbia Government to provide its isolated portion of the district with ade- 4uaLe transportation facilities:
 l. The exhaustive economic sur vey which the Government, in CO., operation with the Canadian Ma tional and Canadian Pacific Rail- ways, is making in territory which would be tributary to a Peace River railway.
 2. The recent declaration of E. w. Beatty, president of the Canadi- an Pacific Railway, that when a Peace River outlet is provided, Vancouver would seem to be the logical terminus for it.
 8. The announcement that the Canadian Pacific Railway director ate will consider the whole Peace River railway situation.
 4. The decision of the Vancouver Board of Trade, after a tour of the Peace River district, to request the Provincial Government to do every thing in it's power to open up this country with 8 western railway link as soon as possible.
 The survey now being carried out is more complete than any at- tempted in western Canada in re- cent times. With the use of numer- ous parties on foot, under compe- tent experts, and aerial photogra- phy on an elaborate scale, officials in charge are attempting to thor oughly survey the area under re- view. Their Investigations cover the four enormous blocks of land, with total area of 24,000 square miles, which have been set aside by the Province as the property of it's Pacific Great Eastern Railway, run ming from the coast, near Vancou- yer, to Quesnel, just south of Prince George. Three of these blocks lie south of Prince George, one east of the Fraser River and two west of it. The fourth block, regarded as the most important, lies to the north of Prince George and includes 6,644,000 uninhabited acres, rich in timber, minerals and water powers and with unknown stretches of agricultural land.
 The Government may be willing to give these blocks to either of the transcontinental railways if they will take over the Pacific Great Eastern Line and build 1t to- the Peace River, but before any such deal is made the Government wants to know the potential value of the land involved. The railways wish to obtain similar information be- fore embarking on a Peace River expansion program. The future z the entire Peace River country, with it's vast areas of rich agricul- tural land, thus is in the making now.

URGE MOTORISTS
TO GET LICENSES
Many Owners Will Be
Disappointed Next Thurs
day, January First
APPLICATIONS SLOW

Due to the fact that the Motor
Vehicle Department at Dover can
only mail out licenses at the rate
of 1000 a day, if there are applica-
tions on file in excess of that num-
ber, and due to the fact that there
are only four more working days be-
fore the first of the new year, it is
certain, it was stated at the depart
ment that many Delaware motorists
will have to be without the use of
their cars for a few days after the
first of the year. There are about
thirty thousand motorists, according
to last years figures, who have not
so far secured their 1881 license
tags, and it was reported, it is prac-
tically impossible to issue that many
tags from Dover in the four days
that remain, before the first of the
year.
So far, it was reported, only about
$4,000 tags for 1881 have been Sc
cured, and about 5000 tags for COM
mercial cars. Last year there were
something over $4,000 license tags,
pleasure and commercial, issued.
That means that there must be
about 10000 cars still without new
tags for 1881. No grace is allowed
for 1881. The tags can be placed

critical condition in the Milford
Emergency Hospital as the result of
being assaulted Saturday night, and
Fred Billings, % years old, was Civ
en- a hearing Monday morning be-
fore Magistrate Cahall on a charge

to Mexico.
According to the information of
the State Highway Police, Emory
was in uniform and was on duty.
Fred Billings was drunk and had
been told by Emory to go home.
Later he was accosted by the young
men in front of Halls restaurant.
Emory told the young men to go
home and it is claimed that both at
tackled him. He is believed to have
been struck over the head with a
bottle and was kicked after he was
down. There were probably a hun

UNANIMOUS CHOICE
John Biggs, Jr., Named AS
State Chairman When
Predecessor Resigns

At a special meeting of the DEM
Ocratic State Committee held at Do
yer Friday afternoon, James NJ.
Tunnel was unanimously elected a
member of the Democratic National
Committee to succeed Josiah Mar
vel, who died on October IL. John
Biggs, Jr., chairman of the New
Castle County Democratic Commit
tee, was elected chairman of the
State Committee to succeed Mr..
Tunnel.
Practically the entire State COM
mittee was present at the meeting.
Mr.. Tunnel, who is a lawyer in
Georgetown, was placed in nOmina-
tion for national committeeman and
no other nomination was made.
Having been elected National
Committeeman, Mr.. Tunnell himself
raised the question as to the pro-
priety of him continuing to hold the
position of State Chairman.
A number favored his remaining
in the position until the next Demo-
cratic State Convention is held in
1882. Among those taking this po-
sition was former United States
Senator Thomas F. Bayard.
Mr.. Tunnel suggested that he be
allowed to resign the position and
that his successor be chosen at
once. This request was granted and
Mr.. Biggs was named. He was the
only candidate nominated.
A committee, with Mr.. Tunnel as
chairman, was authorized to draw
suitable resolutions on the death of
Josiah Marvel and the resolutions
will be prepared later.
Mrs. Mabel Derby, vice-chairman
of the State Committee, presided at
the meeting after Mr.. Tunnel had
been elected National Committee
man.

Sunday were very successful from
every standpoint. Congregations

the singers are praised and their
fidelity recognized, much praise is

choir for many years and to Mrs. Z.
