SPOKANE
SALOON LAW

SPOKANE. Dec. 2s.--Ths fight In
the city council over the saloon

Tuesday next by the adoption OF n
compromise ordinance requiring all
bars 60 close tight between and
$50 o'clock .. m. The new law. how
ever, will not he content merely
with stopping the sale Of liquors
during prohibited hours. n will re-
quire the saloons to he absolutely
shut during that period. and neither
soft drinks nor cigars can he sold
then.
Councilman McMorran. formerly n
supporter Of midnight closing. has
decided that the present law In not
feasible. He IL now at work on nm
amendment to II, In which not only
the hours will be altered. but the
actual shutting OF the saloons VIII
also he ordered. councilmen ONO,
Schiller and Glover will support ~,
while Measrs. johnson and Burton
are likewise expected TO vote for the
measure. That will limit the oppo-
aition Mt most TO Aeuff. Phillips. Err
win and Mitchem. As only six votes
are required TO carry the amend
ment, Mr.. McMorran feels that his
proposal ls certain of adoption.

The reverend gentleman took as
the conversions Of his argument. the
statement that there vas never any
advance mad. towards civilization
or paterial progress until man as
sumed Individual ownership OF
things. which h. had no par, st all
In creating. This In dIsmetricaiiy
opposed 10 Georges theory which
aimE at the abolition Of individual
ownership Of land and iandlordtsrn.
He attacked the system In general
a. being n mass Of siitterinx sensr-

In tn. course of his reply Mr.. Wolf
said Shall this earth be owned by

Always Something New.
Dunn Union.

Dunn Union.
Mr.. Hardy II. Draughon, of Mingo,
Sampson county, has recently received
patent from the government at Wash
ington which it granted him on Bird
CalI--an invention OF his and which
be has been using successfully for some
time With the Instrument almost
any person can soon learn to initiate
the noise Of many kinds Of birds, more
particularly hawks, crows and turkeys.
Mr. Draughon made the call OF two
peices of ivory and with it initiates the
cry of hawks perfectly and by it he has
become the champion hawk-killer of
this county. His services are sought
in many communities where hawks are
bad after the chickens of the farmers,
and when he gees after them he al
ways gets about all in the neighbor-
hood In the last few years he has
called up with his bird call, and kill
ed more than three thousand hawks.
He does his work by going into the
woods, secreting himself, and with bis
Invention begins to make the sharp
shrill cry OF the hawks and in few
moments hawk will come and perch
nearby, then with his gun he brings
him down. He uses it also very sue
cesstully in calling up crows and tur-
keys. His invention is great help to
hunters and very valuable in rldding
the country OF the chicken. eating
hawks.
Mr.. Draughon is making preparation
for the manufacture of the instrument
and will probably soon have it on the
market. He has had already quite
number of applications to purchase his
patent.
