RESIGNATION OF 0. t. DICKESON
VOLUNTARY; PERSOHflL BEHSDNS
Has Other Connections That Require His
Immediate Attention—Relation Will
Be Severed With the Best of
Peeling All Around.
Seattle, Xov. :5—In referring to
tliu announcement of his resigna
tion from tlio piesidency of the
W. P. & V. R. and its subsidiary
transportation lines on Saturday
last, O. I.. Dickeson, when inter
view l>y a Daily Alaskan corres
pondent this morning, said:
"It is true tluit shortly after the
first of the year, sometime around
Fcbraury 1st, I expect to resign
uiy position with the \V. P. & V. It.
company to take up other connec
tions of such -importance that I
feel that 1 cannot, in justice to my
self, longer overlook them.
"Hn<l 1 consulted my own wishes
two years ago, I would have left
.Alaska at that time, hut l>eing in
the midst of organization work 1
did not feel that 1 could, in defer
ence to the interests I represented,
leave it unfinished. That work
has now been fallowed to a definite
conclusion, however, and I am
therefore at liberty to establish
other connections.
"There is nothing but the most
friendly feeling existing all around,
iuid my connection in the nojrth,
and with the people with whom I
havei been associated, has been
most; pleasant and interesting."
W. B. Close, of London, who fin
innced the W. P. & Y. R., said:
"My acquaintance and association
with Mr. O. L. Dickeson has been
throughout, on(i is at present, most
friendly. He desired to take up
connections elsewhere sometime ago,
but most loyally fullowed his plans
| to a successful conclusion and has
| my best wishes in severing his re
j tations with the W. P. & V. R. coin
(■any to take up other m&ttere
which he has in view."
Mr. Dickeson refused to divulge
| to the Daily Alaskan correspondent,
or to discuss in any manner his
plan* for the future, nor would he
j give out any hint as to the identity
, of his probable successor.
HOT CAMPAIGN MARKS
\V KST VIRGINIA KKiHT
Charleston, W. Va., Nov. 3—West
Virginia bal!ot.'_ed today for six rep
resentatives in the national House
of Representatives—oiio from each
of its five districts and one at
large—and members of the leg
islature.
The democrats were claiming that
they would <arry the state by
progressives and republicans were
expected to make a good showing.
Leaders of the former were particu
larly optimistic and looked for re
publican support. Tho campaign
was a hot one. In Logan county
the county court was forced by writ
of mafidamus to sit extra session
and register republicans who charg
ed that they were not permitted to
list themselves during the regular
registration. Politics were blamed
for the "shooting up" of the homes
of a number of negroes in an al
leged effort to frighten them away
from the polls.
ARGENTINA HAS MANY
ELECTRIC RAILWAYS
The South American republic of
Argentina has 666 miles of electric
railways, 476 of which are located
in the city of Buenos Aires.
Passengers carried by the Buenos
Aires lines in 1913 numbered 423,
661,587, an increase in round num
bers of 31.000,000 over 1912. Eigh
teen additional miles of track were
laid iu the capital during the year.
The first section of the underground
electrict tramway, or subway, begun
in 1911, was opened December 1',
1913, This section is about
two miles in length, and extends
from the government house, near
the river, to Plaza Once, to the cen
ter of town. The subway is double
tracked, with stations every three
squares.
AMENDMENTS AROUSE
INTEREST IX TEXAS
Dallas, Texas, Nov. 3—A victory
for the democratic state candidate,
for the two democratic candidates
for congressman at-large and in the
sixteeu congressional districts was
the only expec'pd result in today's
I election. The certainty of an
overwhelming democratic majority,
| which always brings out a light
' vote in state elections, was slightly
offset today by balloting on three
proposed amendments to the state
constitution, includng one providing
for the initiative and referendum.
This amendment, ordinarily like
ly to pass, seemed doomed to de
feat today owing to the opposition
of the staunebest friends of the
initiative and referendum. The
proposal, originally introduced in
the form of 'he perfect Wisconsin
plan, was changed in the last hours
of the 1913 legislature's session.
The defect is^ the proposal, ac
cording to 1. and 1, advocates, is
its provision for the legislature to
put the amendment into operation
and its demand for a 20 per cent
vcters petition.
The two other ariiendrc ants voted
On today were likely to pass,
authorizing counties bordering on
the Gulf of lfexic0 to builu sea
walls and increasing the compensa
tion of the legislature and extend
ing the lengtti of the regular ses
sion. ,

from State street to the railroad i
right of way on Fifteenth street;

quents, .and was informed by Mayor
Kennedy that it was up to those
who were behind in their payments
to come forward and settle with
out further notification; but inas
much as the collection had not here
tofore been strictly enforced, thought
ijt would be as well to instruct the
town marshal to notify all those
who are in arrears that they would
have to pay ud immediately under
penalty.in case of refusal of ths
institution of proceedings to en
force compliance
