last named ridge of hills freeing IN
immense volume of water through
two streams into Salton basin and
forming the present lake. The salt

Prohibition in Northampton.

We learn that the Board of Com
missioners Of Northampton has Off
cially refused to grant any license
to retail liquor in the county. After
the expiration of licenses now in
force prohibition will prevail unless
the board reconsiders its action.
This law says the commissioners
shall grant licenses upon compliance
with the proper requirements, but
the Supreme Court, we believe, has
construed the law to give commits
sioners larger discretion than the
bare language of the act would
imply.
