The 0fieial Paper Of San Juan County.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 9Th, 1925.

JNview of the interest that has lately
been aroused in the question OF more
stringent regulation of the liquor traffic
here, the county attorney, in addition
to the points covered by his communi-
cation and the accompanying extracts
from the law which are presented IN
another column, desires us to call at
tention to section 2SOS of the statutes,
which very clearly defines the powers
and duties of the commissioners with
respect to the regulation OF the sale OF
LIQUORS, as follows:
"The board of county commissioners of
of each county in the state OF washington
shall have the sole and exclusive author
ity and power to regulate. restrain, license
or prohibit the sale or disposal of splrltu-
ons fermented. malt or other intoxicat-
ING LIQUORS outside of the corporate limits
OF each Incorporated city, Incorporated
town. or incorporated village in their re-
snectiye counties; provided, that the an
nual license fee for the sale of spirltuOuss,
fermented, malt or other intoxicating IL
u,iors shall, in no instance, De less IMAM
$500 or more than 81 900, which said Il
vance to the county treasurer, VINO snail
nav 10 per cent of the amount into the
general fund of the state treasury, 80 per
cent into the county school fund. and the
remaining IS per cent into the general
county fund; provided further, that no
License shall be granted to sell splrltuous'
fermented, malt or other Intoxicating IL
ouors by said county commissioners
Within one mile of the corporate limits OF
any incorporated city, town, or village
As a matter of information to resi-
dents of the county who are not al
ready informed upon the matter, and
may be interested, it may be noted that
the charge made by the commissioners
for the issuance Of licenses for the sale,
at retail, of intoxicating liquors in this
county has for years been $500 per an
mum, which, as the reader OF the above
section of the statutes will have noted
is the lowest amount for which such
licenses may be issued in this state.
The present revenue of the county from
this source is 5000 per annum, from the
three saloons now running in Friday
HarbOr.

and let it stand twenty four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition OF the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney troub-
le. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain
in the back, is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out of order.

paying the home merchant legiti
mate margin. They readily believe
any tale told them by slick tongued
frauds or read in catalogues. Ninety
nine per cent of these soft snaps are
swindles. The best plan is to pat
ronize your home merchant; they adj
vertise their goods and show them to
you when you call. They pay a
large part of the taxes, help support
the schools, churches, etc. and are
citizens among us. They are respon-
sible for the goods they sell and can
be found at any time, should any
thing be wrong or the goods not us

merchant go to the man who adver-
tises. The fact that he invites your
trade is sure indication that he is
enterprising and energetic and thai
he has something good to offer you

We know while in the weary form,
There is world of purest bliss
That is linked as the soul and form are linked.
BY II covered bridge with this
Yet to reach that realm on the other shore,
We must pass through transient gloom,
And must walk unseen unhelped and alone,
Through that covered bridge, the tomb.
But we all pass over on equal terms;
For the universal toll
Is the outer garb which the hand of God
Has flung around the soul,
Though the eye is dim, and the bridge is dark
And the river it spans is wide,
Yet faith points through to the shining mount,
That looms on the other side.
To enable our feet for the next days march,
To climb up that golden ridge,
We must all lie down for one nights rest,
Inside OF the covered bridge.
