retail trade is not bright, but
that of the wholesale is. Cur
collections were never better. The
prospects are not bright because
there is no money circulating among
the people on account OF the low

them TO vote the saloon out of existence

The saloons are kept by their consent
and could not be kept without this con-
sent, therefore they are saloon keepers,
Every voter votes eather for prohibition
or permission. Only liz voted in the
last city election for prohibition. The
rest ali voted IN such a way that they
knew perfectly well if their ticket was
elected the saloons would continue blast

Not only are Christians giving their
consent TO this crime Of crimes, but are
furnishing the means TO manufacture the
crime juice (beer) by raising hops for the
brewing business. As cotton was the
foundation of the slave system, so hops is
the foundation of the brewing business of
today.

COSTLY NEGLECT
The Failure Of City Council to LOOK
Out for Park Lakes Expensive.

At the last meeting of the City Councii,
a resolution was passed appropriating
$500 for the completion OF the dredging
OF Lake No. / at Roger williams faIk,
which was discovered to be hlled Win
mud to q considerable depth. The City
Engineer made an estimate that IL
would cost upwards of $12 900, but as only
the sum appropriated was available ana
as a portion of the lake had already been
cleared, it was thought that the improve-
ment could be made with that amouns.
The contract was awarded TO Everson *
Liddle of this city and was exc
tractors have been unable TO
secure suitable dump cars and operations
cannot be commenced before next week:
The contract calls for the completion OF
of the work by september l. The lakes
were drawn down about the first OIL June
for the purpose OF constructing sewer
and up to the present time nc
revenue has been obtained from the
row boats or naphtha Launches
This entails n loss of something ike
5000 per month, and the craft cannot pe
utilized until the completion Oh thi
dredging by Everson q Liddle. IL was
stated that the City. Council was mao.
aware of the situation last March, pu'
postponed consideration from time x
time, and as q result the present
condition OF things has beer
brought about. However, when the wori
is completed each of the lakes will have
been supplied with firm, sandy bottom
and a uniform depth of four feet OF waite
which is a permanent improvement ans
will insure the safety of the children who
cospprise the bulk Of the patronage dur
ing the boating season.
