rate that reduction Of licenses is fol-
lowed by diminution of inebriation.
THE commitments for drunkenness for
the last five years were 1920. the prior
five years 2,703, and the still prior FIVE
years 3.111. This decrease was In spite
Of 100000 increase of population. The
number OF liquor licenses has been de-
creased. Five years ago 3,151 licenses
were granted. last year only 2.976. In
1874. 6.1S5 licenses were granted. The
decrease is startling In its reduction
reduction Of 3.20s, or so per cent. II
Is perhaps worthy OF note that along
with the fact that the number Of Ii

number of committals similarly gone
down, is the fact that the total fine:
received have steadily decreased.

imminent oil can not be shipped east
because OF the cost OF transportation.
To the north in orcgan and Washing

are coal beds that make the shipment
OF oil there improbable. To the south

an oil producer. while Colorado and
Utah have fine anthracite and bitumi-
