orders for putting the nickel-enticing

Cigar dealers and others hold that

Section 2B, paragraph 23, gives the
city council "power and authority
within the limits of the city of Med
ford, to license, regulate and prohibit
nickel-in-the-slot machines or any other
schemes of chance."
It is estimated that there are 20 coin
machines in the city, and as many more
cigar and drink machines. The coin
machines, before their novelty wore off,
were good monev makers in saloons,
but of late are not much patronized,
and their removal would not seriously
Injure any saloon. The cigar machines
are as popular as ever, and are the

would otherwise be disposed of.

BURNING VESSEL
(United Press Leased Wire.)
London. Sept. 18. It is believed that
more than 100 persons lost their lives
on the Japanese steamship Talfu Maru
which Is reported to be burning at
Chink Klang. Details of tho disaster
are lacking but according to reports re
ceived here this morning the fire was
caused by an explosion in the boiler
room.
When the explosion occurred there
was a scramole ror the life boats and
many passengers lost their lives bv
Jumping into the sea. The cantain and
crew endeavored to maintain order, but
round it impossible to save many of the
people aboard, who went wild with fear.
The flames spread rapidly and a large
number of passengers were penned Into
their staterooms vy rire, perishing In
the terrible heat before aid could bei
extended. MemDers or tne crew proved
heroic and dashed into the flames In an
attempt to save the passengers, many
of them succumbing.
The Taifu Maru is a large passenger
steamer engaged In the coastwise trade.
She was built at Nagasaki, Japan, in
1900. and hnsa net register of 1,758
tons, making her about the size of the
steamship Columbia which was lost off
the Pacific coast a few weeks ago. The
Taiifu Maru was formerly known as the
Tahung Maru. She was constructed of
steel and bad twin screws.

Chicago. Sept. 18. Facts regarding
the condition of wires of the Western
Union Telegraph company have become
known here within the past week and it
is reported that the business of the big
corporation has been handled with the
greatest difficulty. East from this city
tne service has been better tnan on
western circuits but the commercial and
press business has been onlv about half
of normal. Much business is being
transacted by lonjc distance telephone
and by mail.
l he wires west are in an exceedingly
bad condition. Whether this is due en
tirely to the fact that few operators of
me oia scnooi ure available to taKe tne
laces of the strikers or whether to the
iterference of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers along the trunk lines is
hard to determine. But the fact re
mains that wires are keot worklns:
under trying conditions and few of the
circuits can carry anything like the
business that thev carried before the
strike.
The company officials sav that thev
are gaining strength each day but the
business of the corporation does not
appear to prove their statements. In
many instances ihe service is becoming
poorer every i hours and business men
are clamoring for an early settlement
between the company and Its striking
employes.

Smii Francisco, Sept. 18. San Fraii
cisco merchants have declared war oa
the jobbers of Seattle to regain th
$15,000,000 a year business of Alaska.
The campaign has been opened with the.
authorization of a committee represent'
ng all the big shipping firms affil
iated with the chamber of commerce to
negotiate for the establishment of ti
direct line of steamers to Nome and ths
southeastern points In the territory.
This action by the merchants her "
will probably stimulate the Portland
merchants to make an t.fort to estab '
lish a similar line from that sort. This
would mean a friendly rivalry between
the Bay and Rose cities, for tha '
San Francisco merchants would welcome
the assistance of the Oregon, neocle Jit
their fight against the 1'ugel sound
port.
When that is accomplished a horde or
commercial scouts will be turned into
the northern territory to win away tha '
trade which the Washington city has '
grabbed since the discovery of gold.
It has been agreed that the running
expenses of a steamer line will be guar
nteed until the call ror nia nouses cava
fainod a foothold. The principal dlf-
lenity in the way is the fact that 8e-.-
attle men have all but bottled tha
Alaskan trade, through the purchass of
interests in nearly all the big firms In -the
territory. By means of this and
shipping contracts under which trans
portation companies grant rebates of
as much as 20 per cent, they have com-
pelled the shipment of the bulk of Alas
kan business from Seattle. But it has) '
been demonstrated that there are -enough
Independent firms to keep a
San Fsancisco line busy, provided that
the same rates are given.
Captain John Barneson of ths Barns .'
son-Hlbbered, promises to do this.
Barneson gave statistics showing; that
where a few years ago San Francisco :
enjoyed practically a mowsgoly of Alas- ;
kan trade its business wlcav ths northern
territory has dwindled until it can claim
but $1,000,000 ot the $15,000,000 trado
with Alaska a year. .
Captain Pierce of the Paclfio Coast ':
steamship company and Captain Robert
Dollar of the Dollar line and Captain
Matson, who runs oil steamers north,
corroborated Barneson In the claim that
transcontinental freight can bs shipped ,
out of here cheaper than it can front
