EVEN THE STREETS
OF lone ARE DRY"
Law Governing Sale of
Liquor Near State Insti-
tuition Is Responsible.
special Dispatch to The Cali.

sIONE, June 15.-The law prohibiting
the sale of Intoxicating liquors within
two miles of State Institution has
made lone the dryest town in the
State Even the streets are dry.
The Preston Reform School is located
here When the law went into effect
a few weeks ago the saloon keepers did
not close up, but they stopped selling
liquor and handed out as thirst quench-
ers all sorts of soft drinks. Now the
average Ionite is not partial to such
stuff and in consequence the cash regis
ters of the saloon men did not ring very
often. The reduction in receipts
brought about a curtailment of ex-
penses The first item cut of the list
was street sprinkling.
The water wagon" man received so
much a month from each merchant and
liquor dealer to keep the dust down
When the saloon men refused to pay him
he very naturally shut of the water
when he passed the. saloons. Soon the
main street of the town took on the
appearance of a checker board. Wet
spots alternated with dry spots, and, as
the saloons are rather numerous in
lone. the dry goods men and others
doing little good.
When the merchants decided that ii
was useless to keep the sprinkler go
ing the water wagon" man promptly
hunted up another occupation. The
streets of lone now look like a road
in desert and dust is everywhere.
