Quesnollo Kiver, Sept. 8th, 1898. Die Prohibition Plebiscite. Editoh Mining JuviiSAi--~Sh". 1 beg to draw the attoutiou of your readers to un article in tho September number of Lliu Church Record* edited in Vancouver. ' If I understand tbo writer correctly bo does uot entirely approve of prohibition as many otlior tomporanco poo- pin do, uot but he recognizes tho necessity lor legislation and accepts tlio position which I believe every man should accept wlio doos not boliovo in prohibition, viz: it is tho host obtainable proposition now, Ab to lho "Persouul Liberty" ipiosliou lho writer says, uud to my mind fully sullies that question, lliat "llioso who uro in Uio habit of using il aright will willingly suffer some inconvoniouco aud curtailment of what la to them an innocent indulgouco for Uio sake of tho community." P.P. illi-lts ;i tail'share < Nl,, p. 1 SOS. I lilt l'l 'THE WELCOME 3E8TAURAMT and c ALLISON WOODS, Proprietor. following is tbe artiolo iu question: Tlio eud of lhis month will sco tbo greut question decided as to whether prohibition is to bo enforced by law throughout fhe Dominion. Tliero is much to be said against prohibition. 1, Itis interfering with n person's liberty: but it may be fairly answered that that liberty has boen so abused by many that they deserve to havo it interfered with. Thoso who are in the habit of using it aright will willingly suffer somo incouvenionco nud curtailment of what is to them an innocent indulgence, for tho sake of the community. 2. It may be urged lliat a mau is the more moral man and stronger by resisting temptation and gptting tho bettor of it, than ho is by having Uie temptation removed alto, gethor: but wo reply that we havo no right deliberately to place tomptatiou in any man's way, and wo hold that this is exactly what is done by multi- plying saloons and drinking places: nor do wc think that the moralists who advocate as abovo sufficiently take into account tho powor of heredity. -'). lt is urged that prohibition has beeu a failure iu most places. It rattier depends upou what is meant by failure. Whero the law has not been properly administered it bas of course failed. Few laws work perfectly and many aro evaded to a greater or less degree, nnd wo must be prepared for a certain amount of failure, and probably a considerable amount of deceit and guile and drinking ou tho sly, and all sorts of clover evasions. But can anything be worse than tbe present stato? Tho broken-hearted wives of habitual drunkards, the ruined homes, thc misery and degradation, all cry out for an end to tho present system. The lads tempted in the saloons, tempted to drink at the bar by their elders, aud so led to havo a tasto and desire for strong driuks. The fiery spirit ever increasing the thirst, the selling of liquor to thoso already inebriate, thc custom of "standing drinks for tha crowd," and tho multitude of evils which wo can easily think of in connection with the preseut system, muke one desire most intensely that lhis stato of things shall ond. Prohibition is uot in our mind the ideal stato of things. Wo look upou alcoholic drinks as not evil in themselves, aud whou properly usod con duclve sf good. A properly regulated system is tho ideal, possibly tho system which holds) in Swollen, tho Gothenburg System isl the best in practice. But if wo cannot have the ideal, the best, lot us havo what is certainly infinitely better than what exists at present. Prohibition seems the best at* tamable just uow. Wo do not think1 it will prevail for vory long, but it will sweep away tho present system, and mako it possiblo to iutroduoo afterwards something after the manner of tlio Gothenburg system, Wo hope indeed that prohibition will carry at the polls ou Soptembor 2flth. qursnblu- Porks, A big slide occurred on Uio South Fork river, about 150 yards above the bridge, coming from south side of tlie river, throwing tlio stream to the other sido, which threatens to do serious damage to tlio Golden River Quosuollo road, hacking tho rivor for a considerable timo.

In tho Colonist of Sunday appeared the following despatch: "New Westminster, Sept. 17, [Spe- clal]—Tbe relief committeo are uot having an easy task in disposing of tlio numerous sums iu their possession. There are many wbo though destitute refuse to accept a dollar of loaf ol bread in tbe namo of charity. Thoy say they will work on tho road or earn the money honestly, but will not take money or provisions without giving tho equivalent. Mauy members of secret societies refused to take money seut them from Victoria, sayiug they would starve first. Though this spirit confuses tho relief committee, it shows tho kind of stuff tho citizens aro made of." To ascertain if thero was any foundation for tbis report, the editor of the Nanaimo Free Press wired Mayor Ovens as to tbe truth of the report, and received the following reply; Absolutely no truth iu the report that the relief funds aro beiug declined.

Tin: AraolBnm Steal, There was great excitement on Sunday morning last when Iln? discovery was mnde Unit tho clean-up of tiio famous Golden Cuche mines find boou stolen, by thesafe door being wrenched oil', and part of Uie wall of tlio amalgamator building boiug removed. Clues wero discovered, and il. is ijow stated that five arrests in connection witli the robbory havo boeu made. It appears that two hands .wero kopt in the amalgamator room all Saturday uight, and two more wero working at Uie samo time outside the building, One of these four men disappeared for nu hour during tlie night and on the supposition that the other three were either orlvy .<■ or uoololod in llio robbery the lour were arrested aud a preliminary hearing given thom by Magistrate Phair. The mou 'woro ■cleaned on their owu ball, but were uot allowed to go outside the mill mits. Tlie liflh arrest made was thai of a tough character wbo was one ofthe discharged employees of the company who bad been hanging around forsov oral days previous to tbe robbory. No clue has as yet been discovered us to tho whereabouts oftho gold, which is said to be worth 83,500 nnd represents half of the last clcau-up. Every precaution is beiug taken to prevent Uio robbers getting off with their boety. All pack-trains, stages and outlets of traffic are carefully watched, so that if tbo thief escapes ho must do so over Uio mountains, and he will need to have one or more accomplices on account of the weight of the amalgam, Tlie general supposition is. tlmt the metal is secreted in Uie immediato neighborhood of tho mill itself.- World- SODA CHEEK.

Mi ou se. itorc Ik-mil Lurks at Dawson, The outside world does not realize tho serious straits that Dawson is iu through tho terrible epidemic of ty phoid fever. Tho stories of the epidemic published exclusively in the Times during the past week have scarcely been believed. If the truth were known these stories do not paint the picturo half black enough. I'rom a conservative man who has spent tho summer in the Klondike capital the Times obtained some additional facts regarding the epidemic. "Itis impossible for any one to tell Uie number of people that are dying each day in Dawson. From eight to fifteen corpses aro taken out of the hospitals every day. How mauy die in llieir cabins and afe buried by friends cannot be learned. There are abso lately no health regulations and there is no one to whom deaths are reported, lho Dawson type of typhoid closely resembles cholera, so physicians wbo have handled the caso told me. It is not malignant, but tbo germs which use the disease areji-isiug in all parts of llio camp. Unless a man is absolutely in perfect health he is more than likely to Lako tho disease. Young Bar- ringtou, whose corpse was brought out the othor day, was as flue a specimen of physical manhood as one could see anywhere. Le was running a steamer on tho upper river and lost a great deal of sleep. Thiscaused him to take Uie fever. "The cause of the epidemic is not liard to liud. During the long winter mouths refuse of all kinds was thrown put on Uie suow. It froze and became us solid ns rock. When the spring thaw came this refuse began to rot. Tho everlasting northern sun sent up deadly vapors from all parts of the town. There has beeu uo attempt at drainage and lillle else could bo expected. "The pooplo claim thnt they had no othor place lo put tlio refuse last winter. Ihey were loo lazy to cut holes iu tho ice and dispose of it in that way, Bvoryouo is waiting for the government to druin Uie camp. Tho govern- uont, howovor, is too busy collecting ■oyally and revenue to think of anything else. Even theatteiupls lo drain the deadly marsh back of town have been given up. "Wintor is locked for witli moro interest this year thau ever before. Cold weather und lhal alone will stop the typhoid fiend. Many mon aro leaving tlie camp as they find themselves weakening. A number have saved themselves iu this wuy. "Tbe hospitals nre full aud tbe uuiJies overworked.

Con sldoring that llio profits of tobacco growing aro vory largo, it might pay somo of Uie ranchers near Ashcrofi to experiment with a fow plants noxt yoar. Even iu Ontario, where damp weather is a formidable opponent, tlio industry bos proved very remunerative as may bo seen by the following extract from the Toronto Globe: "Messrs. J. A. Auld and W. .1. McKee, Uio local members for tho two Essexes, aro iu the city, and speak most glowingly of the tobacco growing industry in that seclion. " 'We estimate,' said Mr. Auld, 'that in Essex and Kent lucre aro (5.000 acres planted in tobacco, and yielded not less thau 1,500 pounds to tho acre. This means a total of '1,500 tons, or 11,000,000 pounds, lt is estimated that the crop alone will bo worth from 81,000,000 to Sl,2o0,l)00.

Many persons who had mado up their minds lo attend the great fair at New Westminster in October may not go on account of their objection to having to travol backward and forward to Vancouver for sleeping accommodation. Others will bo deterred by the belief that th3 fair will not be carried out on tbe grand scale originally intended beforo tho lire. Now, in justice to tbo people of Westminster it cannot be too widely known that tho fair is to bo carried ont exactly us planned, and that by the timo the fair is duo to open thero will be comfortable accommodation for thousands of visitors. Wlmt wo would suggest lo llio people of Uie province is that a special effort bo made by everybody to help Westminster through witli t.bi« Bt-oat ttntlnrtak. ing.

No ono, we believe, will object to putting up with a littlo inconvenience iu tho way of accommodation during tho fair, and sleeping iu hastily erected frame buildings instead of iu thoqiulatiu) hotels that once lined Col unibia sireet.

A new bunco game lias struck tho town, and it is suid thut somo of Vic loria's hotel-keepers now look at a Klondiker -no matter how big his gold bags are- with distrust. About a couple of weoks ago a man, garbed in the regulation muekinaw and corduroys peculiar Lo tlio prospector, strolled in ton local hotel, and planking down a hoavy and woll-llllod bag of what appeared to be gold, usked tlie clerk to put it in the safo for security. Tbo miner lounged around lho hotel during his stay in tho city aud told all kinds of stories of his rich claims, ids store of treasure in tbo north, lho bost in tho hotel was his, for hud ho not a storo of wealth in the safe? Then suddenly thoro camo a day when the stories of tho Klondiker wore not hoard aud tho picturesquely garbed miner lounged no moro in the hotel corridors. Search was made in all di reotlons, but no sign was fouud of the mau whoso sack filled a compartment of tlio safo. After waiting a few days the hotel keeper took out tho gold, for if a Klondiker chose to disappear leaving his wealth behind him that was no reason why Lhe house should lose. Accordingly Lho sack was opened, but mino host did not sccuro any gold, for it wns uot Lho reddish-yellow gold of tho Klondike Unit, filled the little loath orn bag, but dull grey leaden shot.

It was not many years ago, probably four, that tho Butto mining mon woke totho realization that tlioy woro not up with tho times, and allowed a stranger to como in and mako a fortune from precipitation.

Those borne on tho first wave aro in hard luck. They arrivod iu Honolulu by tho score- young lawyers, doctors, dentists and other professional men, not to speak of commercial travelers—and many of them aro anxious to get away. The situation Is thus depicted in a letter from Honolulu: ' "Agents aud captains of ovory sail iug vessel aro beselgod with theso people trying to secure free passage back to San Francisco. Mauy of them expected lo do business on small capital, but llioy found tho conditions all against them, Commercial travelers must pay a license fee of 8500 before they soil a single bill of goods, and all trado is managed so as lo help tho local firms that have fixed places of business.

Tlie ancient land mark at the head of Harrison river and about 45 miles from Agassiz, has been wiped out by a fierce conflagration. At Fort Doughi3 the first court in British Columbia was hold aud it was thc first post of the Hudson's Bay Co., in British Columbia. The old court house and tho express office aud all tiio buildiugs in the pioneer town of tbe Canadian coast, witli hundreds of relics wero burno'l up. Scores of rifles left by H. M. sappers and miners in tho sixties wero destroyed among tho relics. Tho old court houso chimneys, built of brick brought all tho way from San Fraucisco, aro tho only thiugs left standing. Fort Douglas was a town of the past. Everything was old fashioned, from six-feet graudfather's clocks to the ancient lire places and lire irons. As thero was no bauk all tho money in tho town, iu silver and bank bills was in lho old fort aud was consequently burned up. The disaster was caused by a littlo girl setting fire lo some dry wood in Lho fort by putting on too big a fire in a stove. Totems And Huts Burnt. Nows comes from lho norlh of the entire destruction by fire of tho Indian section of Fort Wrangel and its "totems," famous tlio world over. A strongly marked trait in tho character of the Thliukets, tho natives of Wrangol is their respect for their ancestors. Independently of their tribal distinctions, whicli aro litllo more than local, llioy aro divided into four to. terns, or clans, each of which is known liy a, badge or emblem much iu the samo way as is tiio crest or coat of arms among the old families in Europe. Those aro tho raven, lho wolf, the-whale and tho eagle, aud these om blems are curved on their houses, household utensils, paddles, and fre- quontiy on amulets of native copper, which thoy preserve with scrupulous euro and consider to be of tho greatest valuo. In front of many of their houses and also ut their burial places nre totem posts varying from twenty to sixty foot in height and from two to fivo foot iu diameter, carved to represent successive ancestral totems, and usually stained red, black, aud blue. Many of theso totem poles woro to bo soou ut Fort Wrangol, as well as two remarkable graves, ono surmounted by a rudely carved whale aud auother by Uie hugo figure of a wolf, and thoso who havo visited Alaska will regret tho destruction of thoso interesting cur ositics.—Times, At tl is Point will bo found a good assortment of GENERAL MERCH AND ISE & MINERS SUPPLI ES Also one of the best Hotels on lhe route Information cheerfully given VEITH & BORLAND.

Only the morning beforo this interview tho town of Norwoll had boon thrown Into n spasm of oxoltomont by the news time "our book" hnd been stolen. When Peter / Haekett died, lm divided his really notable library among the publlo libraries of his native stato and to Norwoll fell liis fn- t nious Walton, tlio object of many a book worm's pilgrimage to his library. Its be- \-Mf~ quest was hedged about by many coudi; iVf tions, the foremost of which was the solemn injunction that under no circumstances was it to bo removed from tho library. It was this particular condition which caused Barbara Myles to experience a continual oppressing sense of responsibility. The Walton was never absent from her mind, nnd sho visited its resting place in lhe library a do/en times a day. Beyond tho slender salary which camo frum her position fhe had littlo oxcopt nn unusual education and tho bibliophile's love of books, John Sprnguo was her only relative and sho loved him with the lovo of ii mother. Robert Barrio, bringing hor tho quarter's salary, liis daughter Marion, nud of Into eccentric Job Doyle, comprised tho list of her Not-well callers. Young Sprnguo repaid her lovo and 6[.cri Ileo witli almost the dovotlon of a lover. Ho knew tho story of tlio extra cataloguing done for tho big city library that ho might completo his college courso. Ills lovo for Marion Barrio, too, wns no secret from his gentlo littlo nunt, nud eIiO fed him, hungry for news of his sweetheart, with constant letters. She herself had discovered tho loss and reported it io thu chairman ot trustees, Robert Barrio, with fear nud trembling. Ho hnd told tho village constable, and that Sherlock Holmes, being told tiie remark mndo to .Miss Tinmiins nbout the value of tho Walton, Immediately arrested Barbara Myles. It was this thnt had caused tho Interview ondlngwlth tho football lesson. John Sprnguo left tho house, realizing that probably his lovo dream was over for good and all, but not sorry on tho wholo that be had defended his aunt's good namo ln such u summary fashion. Tlio news of tiio finding of tho book staggered hlm, niid ho sought to explain it to himself, never once departing from ills stout belief In his aunt's honesty, Ou tlio way to her house, whero sho was confined in llio abonco of a more suitable jail, ho met Job Doyle. Job was as CCCOlltrlo and nbioutmlndod ns Pudd'nhend Wilson and withal a bookworm of tho wormiest kind. This morning ho was full of thu missing book und as indignant ns Sprnguo himself at tbo turn of affairs. "John, my son," said he, '.'what fuddle headed plecoof business Is this? If I could get hold of that constable, I believo I'd onno him, I do. Why, the fool, to think Barbara—I mean Miss Mylcs—took it. Tho angel Gabriel might steal it, but she wouldn't. Seo here, John, I suppose I ought to tell you something, seeing that you nro tho only living relatlvo slio'a got. I'm In lovo with that littlo womnn—yes, sir, I am—and by old Izaak Walton himself I'm goln;; to marry her it sho'll say yes, Meanwhile we'll get her out of this scrape, you and I." "Mr. Doylo," said Sprnguo, "I nni surprised. Go in und win, though. I'll do nil I can to help things along. Hut this ts no tlmo to talk of such things. I'vo been to Barrio's, and wo had a scrap, niul ho'B forbidden mo tiio house." "Poor boy," replied Doyle, "and Marion, how does sho feel?" "I haven't seen her since sho got here, but it's easy to Imagine how sho will treat mo." "Thflt reminds me, I went to see Barrio riiysclt this morning, ana n new maid camo to the door whom I nover saw, and when she asked mo my name I couldn't toll her. No, sir; I couldn't, and sho thought she'd got t. lunutio, I guess, becauso film slammed tho door in my face, antl I couldn't think what my nnniO wns till I got round tllO cartior, But about the book.

"Did vou t:.-e it after yon saw lb lit his hand..;1 Think hard, HOW." 'I'h.. poor littlo woman blushed nud looked uncoinfui.nhlo and dually said: "N<.. Mr. Doylo wns waiting outsido for tno, nnd it was storming fiercely. So I just put out thu remaining lights, and 1 do bellovo 1 did not look to seo If ihe Walton v .iv safe." "Yes, yes," said John. "Why, wo walked lmmo together," Bho said shyly, "nntl I nfikod Job in to Imvo a cup of tea, and lm took tiff his coat and put It."— "WhcroP" demanded John. "Why—why, in tho suttlo—why—Johu, you don't think— Why, whero aro you going, John." John rusliPd out of tho house, saying something as he went about "that absent- minded chap will forgot whoro ho lives uoxt." Ho went to Job Doyle's house, and tho maid told hlm sho expected her master back at any moment, so lio concluded to wait. Soon 111 camo Job, wearing a faraway look, and greeted John with ft very formal: "How do you do, sir? What can I do for you?" "Tell nswl-.ntyou stole tho Walton for," said John. •'Ood bless my soul," ejaculated Job. "What do you moan, sir." "Nothing but what I said," said John, laughing in spite of himself. "Now, eio here, Mr. Doyle. Vou told mo you wero reading ihe book tbat afternoon. Did you put it back? Now, for Barbara's sake, Doylo, do try ami recollect." "Xo. I have no recollection of replacing It." "Now, ns a nml ter ot fact, Isn't this what happened*! Vou read iho Walton all tliu afteriioou,*nndwhou 6 o'clock struck nud Aunt Barbara began to put tho lights out you put your greatcoat on"— "And, like a fuddle headed fool that I am, slipped lho book into my pocket." "Exactly." "But how did it get Into tho settle?" "Simplest thing In tho world. When you went into the houso"— "I took my coat off, and it slipped out of tlio pocket," 'Iltlght ngnin." "Weil, John Sprnguo. I'm a baldhcnil- cd idiot, Come on down to Barrio's aud tell hlm tbo story nnd then we'll go out bunting for tho constable with a shotgun." "No. Vou'd better send for Mr. Barrio and toll him about it." Accordingly Mr. Barrio was sunt for, and Job told .him tho wholo story, concluding with: '•Robert Barrio, you'd better tako back somo things you said this morning to John here. But if you want to play any football tricks on mo, why 1 guess I'd i-ini-on goodwnybnek. Did you ever in your liie incotn bigger uddlo pated ape than mo."

Clip tain Pagot's report will devote much attention to tho destruction of Admiral Cervera's lleot, as this was the main naval incident of the war. Cap- luin Pugot's personal view is thut Admiral Cevveva's sortie wus a most .oolhuiily venture, which cuunot be instilled by naval standards, even though ordered by the admiral's superiors. According to Captain Paget's view, the most elfeutivo use Admiral Corveva could make of his squadron was to have dismantled them of ull the lighter guns, particularly thc qulok- liring guus, nnd turned over the kuus und mon to Gonoral Toral for use iu defending the city. Distributed along the entrenchments and handled by the trained men of tho squadron they 'would bnve been able to sustain u deadly lire on the American advance, Captain Paget expressed his belief that such a move would have made Santiago practically impregnable. Captuiu Paget speaks highly of the now United Stales battleships nud cruisers, particularly those now on tho stocks, which he bar; examined critically through plans and specifications. He does not admit, however, that American ships yet excel or oven equal those of British build, in this connection a prominent naval oilicer toccutly told Captain Paget that the new cruiser New Orleans, bought iu England during the early stuge ot tho war, was a revolution to the authorities here iu so fur us her guns and nrina- ineuL are concerned.
