Of licensed saloons In the counties; the
increase or decrease, IL any, In the
number Of saloons licensed during the
previous six months; the vote for or
against local option In the counties
where the voters have been afforded
an opportunity lately to express their
choice Of the question, and II the
question Of the local option was being
agitated in the counties. Reports
have been received from all the coun-
ties and show the following results;

souri,, including three larges cities,

According to the reports received,
nine other counties Of the state have
no saloons, making a total of 80 no

fourteen other counties, and in some
instances special elections have been
ordered to afford the voters an op-
portunity to vote on the question.
The reports show there were less
saloon licenses issued during the first
six months of this year than during
the last six months Of 1905

ABOUT BENTON CITY.

Few country towns In the state can
boast Of the advantages that are the
fortune of Benton City. From busl-
ness standpoint as we'll as morally and
socially it is far above the average

enough to accommodate the big trade
that goes to the towns, are neat, well
built and altogether attractive are the
residences. Here is splendid opening
for a harness maker or shoe maker
who can mend harness; there being
many calls for the services OF such a
workmen. The people are law-aolding

I've cut the crest of the Indian seas,
And made my prettlest bow.
To the Nabob kings and the sunburnt
things
That England clothes and boards,
I've playfully toyed with the brazen
rings
In the noses Of heather hordes.
I've seen the ruins Of Grecian doin's;
I've gasped at the Coliseum;
I've ventured Venice, cum viae fluens,
And met the Ambassador Deum.
I've parle vOused in the Rue de Rood,
And wepJ ON the tomb Of Nap;
I've braved the wurst with the Berlin
brood,
And talked with the Russian chap,
Who seems to have got my crown of
thorns
Prestdown on his empty brow,
Tho l still have told Of my cross OF
gold,
Which raised such a royal row.
I've talked with Eddie and talked
with Teddy
Was saying the same over sea;
I've dined and wined until am ready
To live on toast and tea.
