All the tin cans Tn Needles, of which there are many carloads, will be gathered up and used as Aux. MT.

Kingman will donate several carloads of tin cans in aid of the good cause.

CHICAGO. Aug. 6.-According to a story
printed in the Tsmes-Herald this morning,
the efforts of leading distillers and dis
tributors 10 form a combination 70 con-
troll the production and price OF spirits
have al last been successful. The final de-
tails OF the plan OF agreement, IL is said,
have been decided upon. The combination
is on the percentage allotment plan, with
special rules, regulations and forfeitures
imposed upon distributors. Each distiller
producing more than his percentage ailot-
ment pays monthly into the pool certain
sum on the surplus. Each distiiler pro-
ducing less than his allotment draws out
similar sum for each gallon short o. the
allotment.
