In Gordon township in which
change is noted, there were four
ballots that the recent board did
not tabulate and of this number
there are three ballots that are in
dispute. The four votes did not
have the endorsement of the cleo

of the judge to determine whether
or not this will invalidate the bal

WASHINGTON.-The drive for a change in Federal liquor laws gained impetus from an announcement by Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan, that he favors immediate submission of the prohibition amend ment and liberalization of the Vol stead law.
 The announcement came as vets were seeking to have the ways and means committee draft a beer bill for presentation when Congress opens.
 Vandenberg said he is in favor of immediate resubmission of the 18th amendment because "just regards for rights of majorities and validity of law enforcement demands 1t"
 Representative OsConnor, of New York, Democrat, urged" Chairman Collier of the ways and means com mittee to have beer,bill ready fur presentation to the House when it convenes next month.

 Sam Callahan left the Yukon sec ton about &lre year 1922, at which time he returned to his boyhood home in Alabama. Very little was heardsof or from him since that time until early last spring, when word reached Seattle that he was again going to return to the North, presumably to open up an old prospect, the location of which was not stated, but it was one in which he had Efond hopes Early in June he arrived in Seattle, where he was greeted Eby many ySfor- mer friends. It is more than likely that some of these friends may have making another,attempt. If so, their advised him, ,man of 78, against advice was unheeded. He was a man -of positive character, and, once mak- ing up his mind to do thing, he was not easily diverted from it. He was given the cheers of his friends as5he departed on the first Victoria sailing for Nome.. From Nome he reached St. Michael, at which point he sent ra cheering letter to friends Outside.
 Then, in July, starting from St. Michael, commenced the long Journey that was to take him to the far-off Lonesome creek-the goal of all his hopes. It IS averred, and it is prob- ably true, that he poled the entire dis tance' fro mSt. Michael up to the point where he was given assistance by Messrs. 'Stickman, Andrews and the latter's cousin ,all of whom proved themselves real friends of in. hours of need and distress.
 Sam Callahan, during his residence in the North, accumulated many friends. He wa swell known in Daw- son, going from that place to Fair banks, thence to Iditarod, to Ruby, to Marshall and other points. He was prospector above all, to which pursuit he gave most of his time He was held in high esteem, was generous to his friends, kindly in disposition, and most excellent gentleman, and those who knew him will mourn the ': sad fate that overlook him.

FOUND DEAD TN CABIN ON LONESOME CREEK, FOLLOW
 ROWING JOURNEYS END.

Sam Callahan, at the age of 78, a former4swell known scldtimer of the North, stampeder of '98 into Dawson prospector, mining man, part time newspaper man, came to the end of life's trail few days ago. And the end was tragic one-as disclosed swhen his frozen body was found stretched across the floor of a ram shackle cabin located on Lonesome river, a. tributary of the Innoko river.
 This is the gist of the sad story, as brought here early in the week by John Krieger, well known Esperanto creek mining man, who with the men found the body, Joe .Stickmann, Felix Andrews, and "a ,hrnther-in=law of the latter, three natives of that isolated section, thought the sad details .ts Ophir.
 At hearing before U. S. Commis- ssioner Christian Bolgen, at Ophir, the three men testified that, with the in -tentinn of visiting MT. Callahan, as we'll as to help him make repairs te his cabin, they went from their home on the Innoko river .to Lone some creek, a distance overland of three or four miles. They knew Sam. for it was only a couple of days be- fore that they accompanied him to the Lonesome creek cabin. They stated that they first met Sam when they in their gasboat overlook hi msome dis tance down the Innoko as he was pol ing his way upstream.
 The party travelled together from that point on, the natives rendering MT. Callahan every assistance and continuing with him until arrival at the Lonesome creek cabin. The cabin, by all appearances, had been deserted for years, without window or door, and roof caving in. The three men made what repairs they could to the roof, helped little in other ways and finally -bade goodbye to their frienG friend and departed down Lonesome on the way to their own home on tha Innoko. That was the last they saw of MT. Callahan unntil two or three days afterward, on October 6, oI which date the three crossed overland to pay him a visit. As they neareG the cabin they saw no smoke coming from the pipe top nor any sign o1 -.yife nearabouts. Reaching the cabin they threw back the canvas flap serv' ing to cover the door and, peering in side, they saw the body of MT. Cal. lahan stretched across the floor, lying on his side, col din death.
 His gun was found on the outside leaning up against the cahin wall.
 From all appearances, no fire had been started in the cabin. Plenty of wood had been brought in, although there was no water inside.
 Death, it is apparent, must have come suan after the men had depart ed for their home on the occasion of : their first visit.
