TO Mill SAILS TOMORROW ON "SHIP OF MYSTERY" Will Open Big Ter-ooiitcnary Celebra tion m Quebec and Dedicate Monu incut to Wolfo and Montcalm Will CroM Ooeun on Jlowt Powerful Crulwr Afloat. ' London, July 15. The Prince of Wales today completed preparations for his visit to America and will sail tomorrow on the new cruiser Indomi table, the famous "mystery ship," for Quebec, where ho will take part In the tercentenary celebration begin ning next week. The prince will be given an elabo rate welcome to His Majesty's great new-world dominion and will dedi cate a monument to Wolfe and Mont calm on the Plains of Abraham. The Indomitable Is now In readiness for the transatlantic voyable and will land Its royal passenger In Quebec a week from today, when the official recep ' tlon to the prince will take place. This will be the prince's second vis It to Canada, he having crossed near ly 10 years ago when on his world's tour from ocean to ocean, visiting the chief towns. He also spent some tlmo fishing and hunting in the north west. This time he will go no furth er west than Quebec and will stay 'only a week. Ills royal highness will be accom panied by a brilliant staff, so that none of the pomp and ceremony of the British court will be missing. Among the staff will be Sir Francis Hopwood, under colonial secretary, who probably knows more about the colonies than any other Englishman and upon whom the Canadians at least rely when dealing with the mother country. j French and American squadrons will be at Quebec and Invitations have been sent to France and all the colo nics to send delegations. Australia will be represented by Lord Dudley, the new governor-general. On landing the prince will be re ceived by Qove'rnor-General Grey and will be presented with an address by the dominion parliament. The next day (July 23) the landing of Cham- plain will be re-enacted, the old navl gator being shown arriving with a crew In a ship like the one ha salded In. The fetes will then be formally opened by the prince. The program for the following day Is this: July 24 Dedication of the battle field. Military and naval review, July 25 Review of the fleets. July 26 Thanksgiving day. Services In the Roman Catholic and English Cathedrals. July 27 Naval display ashore by 10,000 sailors. Representation of the bombarding of Quebec by the British fleet and army under Saunders and Wolfe. July 29 Prince leaves Quebec. The Intomltable Is one of three sls ter ships, the two others being the In vincible and Inflexible, which were voted In 1906, but not laid down till 1908, and which are to all cruisers of the past what the Dreadnaught Is to all earlier battleships. She is at once the fastest, the larg est and the most heavily armed cruis er afloat; indeed, In may respects she resembles a fast battleship rather than a cruiser. The first point to notice Is the Im mense power of her artillery. She carries eight huge 12 inch guns, each forty five feet long, and each capable of firing an 850 pound qhell twice in the minute. These guns are mounted In pairs In four turrets, and the turrets are so arranged that all the eight big guns can f.re on either broadside, and six of them ahead or astern. The guns are directed from the fire control stations, which are duplicated one on each mast, the details of the system being absolutely confidential. But the general arrangement is that electrical transmitters from the fire control stations aloft send down to Indicators at the guns the fange In yards, the deflection to right or left, the order to commence or to suspend fire, and the final signal, a loud ring on a gong to fire the gun. Some idea of tho blast and the force of these guns can be gained from this fact that during her two trials twd of the amid-shlp turret guns were trained right ahead and fired, simul taneously. A boat was hanging on the davits, well out of the actual path of the pro jections, but In the track -of the blast of gas which accompanies them. After the shots had been fired the boat was left a mass of matchwood,) lying on the deck. The projectiles from tJiese mammoth guns will pierce four feet three inches of solid iron placed close to the muxzle. At 600 yards they will penetrate with ease 14 Inches of the best and strongest armor now made. 'The engines of the indomitable are of the Parsons turbine type, develop ing 41,000 horsepower, the most pow erful ever put Into a British war ship. They drive four screws, and , on her recent official trials, which were carried out under war conditions propelled her at a rate In excess of 26 knots. The. turbine engines run smoothly and almost without attention; indeed, it Is said that the engine-room staff in these new turbine vessels have so little to do when running' at high speed that there is danger of the men going to sleep. ' ' The boilers are fitted with ; appli ances for burning oil, thpugh coal Is the main fuel. , 1 " ": The effect of the Indomitable on naval1 construction has already been remarkable."" . ' '.' ;:' ;, In Germany two even more gigan tic and powerful cruisers are now be ing built of her special tpye, while Japan Is also constructing cruisers of the same general design. : 1 FOES OF RUM MEET. Annual ' Convention of Prohibition Party Convened. Columbus, O., July 15. With over 1500 delegates present, many antl saloon leaders occupying ' places of honor on the platform and the gal leries filled with alternates and vis ltors, the prohibition party's national convention was formally opened this morning. The assemblage Is by all odds the most enthusiastic in the his tory of the party. Since the last con vention several states, Including Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina and Oklahoma, have Joined tho .prohibition ranks, and tho dele gations from those states were given a great' ovation. In the number of delegates, Illinois heads the Hat with 178, with Pennsylvania a close sec ond. The latter state, however, with New York and New Jersey, ore ad mitted to be the most hopeless In the union, from a prohibition standpoint. Representation in the convention gives each state and territory four delegates at large and an additional delegate for every 200 votes cast for Dr. Sllus C. Swallow for president in 1904. It is declared by the party leaders mat tne prohibitionists will cast nearly a million votos at the coming election. In 1904 Swallow received only 258,205, but It is alleged that prohibition sentiment has increased by leaps and bounds since that time. The failure of Tennessee democrats to nominate Senator Carmack, who ran on a prohibition platform for gov ernor of that state, and the defeat of Hoke Smith In Georgia, are declar ed to be temporary reverses. Apparently no definite decision has yet been reached In regard to the presidential nomination. The contest for the honor is a spirited but good natured one. Seaborn Wright of Georgia, has a healthy boom which promises fair chances of securing for him the coveted nomination. Among others actively in the race are F. F. Wheeler of California; Alfred Man- lerre of New York; W, B. Pelmore of Missouri; a A. Artman of Indiana. and J. B. Cranflll of Texas. The platform will be little changed from recenr years and will demand the complete wiping out of the liquor business. Th piphlbltlonlsts will carry on the most active campaign in years and will have abundant funds for that purpose. Maine will be a storm cen ter during the campaign, owing to the attempt to secure resubmission of the prohibition amendment to the constitution. PROHIBITION AN ISSUE. Maine Democrats Declare for Resub mission of Amendment. Bangor, Me., July 15. With a cut and-drled program, providing for the nomination of Obadtah Gardner, of Rockland, for governor, upon a plat form demanding the resubmission of the prohibition clause of the consti tutlon to a popular vote, the Demo crats of Maine began their state con ventlon in City hall at 1:30 this af ternoon. The republicans recently nominated Bert H. Fernald of Portland for gov ernor, on a platform opposing resub mission. Fernald holds that it will te unwise to Imperil prohibition? wnicn nas been on the statute books for more than half a century, by re submitting it to decision of the voters. The campaign will be fought out un mis ciear-cut issue ana the demo cratic leaders In attendance at to day's convention declare that it will mean democratic) victory. They al lege that public sentiment favors re submission and polnt out that the republican majorities have been cut own irom is.ouu to 8000 in the last few years by the liquor agitation. The republican platform declares emphatically for the continuance of prohibition. The democratic platform will assert that under a renuhlicAn form of government the maJorltv should decide the question, while no positive stand will be taken either for or against prohibition. Democratic politicians declare that the prohibition law has become a farce arfd a source of graft and cor ruption and that, If the peoplo de- cldo to retain It, the statute should be strictly enforced. Some of the most noted temper ance orators of the country will come to the assistance of the Maine repub licans during the campaign. Maine was the first state In the union to adopt a prohibition law and. the tem perance leaders' realise that If it should be repealed after the long trial It has been given, the effect would be disastrous, to the prohibition move ment throughout the United States. Democrats declare that their state ticket will have the support of thou sands of republican voters, who are discontented with the present prohi bition regime and will and in electing a democratic' governor and legislature In order to get a chance to express their opinion of prohibition at the polls. . " There is little doubt that the com ing campaign will be one of the hot test In the history of the state and that the republicans have the strong est fight in years on their hands.

Getting no reply they became alarmed and. began Inquiring through the police at Salt Lake. They found whore he had registered at a hotel and had been checked out, and also found the ore at the express office, but could find no trace of Downall. Nothing has been learned of him yev They are uneasy and will go to Salt Lake and endeavor to get trace of him. Everything at the mine is in good order. Downall Is prominent at his home. He was last seen at Salt Lake June 28. He told a friend while on his way out that he expected to go to Denver to meet his wife, but nothing could be learned of him there.

Pendleton Drug Co. DUCK uVtV" AND WIFE. Taoorna Lanndryman Thrown Into American Lake. Tacoma, Wash., July 15. S. Q. Thompson, proprietor of the City laundry, acted as umpire In a ball gams yesterday at American lake, between the laundrymen and the campers, and as a consequence In the last half of the ninth Inning, on ac count of what the campers termed his "rotten" decisions, he was carried from the field and thrown bodily Into the lake. The unfortunate umpire's wife followed the enraged campers and remonstrated In her husband's behalf. Her entreaties evidently fell on. deaf ears for they soused the pleading woman into the lake with her husband. Fortunately, the water was only about four feet deep and by a good deal of scrambling they managed to wade out. Thompson took the duck ing good-naturedly.
