The bank statement was unfsvorable, banks gaining only $2, ,000 on week currency move. ment.

New Territorial License Law Has No ticeable Effect in Yavapai County Sixty-nine Out of 173 Retail Places Fail to Meet the Raise

In the operation of the new s30C liquor license law passed by the Twenty-fourth legislature, which went into effect the first of the present month, sixty-nine of the l73 retail liquor establishments of the county have been closed, only l04 licenses having been applied for to the sheriff, says the Prescott Journal Miner. The increased revenue, however, from this source al. most counterbalances the loss sustained to the school fund by the abolition of gambling, which ceased April l.
 The revenue from liquor licenses for the year of 1906 amounted to $19,3ls, while gambling licenses were collected in the amount of $l5,060, making to- tai of $34,37S. The licenses collected by the sheriff s office since the first of the present month for retail liquor deal CTS amounts to 1900, to which about $2,000 will be added later in the year for wholesale liquor and other licenses, the $500 liquor license, under the new law, will bring the revenues within $1,17s of last year. This last amount may be made up later on by licenses from new liquor establishments starting. All of the liquor licenses collected are deposited in the school fund, less com missions allowed the sheriff for col lection.
 Yavapai county's expenditures for school purposes amounted to $4s,- 732.47 in the year 1906, $2,r36.51 of which was used for maintenance of the high school In this city.
 It is possible that the number of saloons may increase within the pres ent year, even under the high license law, until the revenue from licenses may almost meet all demands for the maintenance of the schools, as large mining operations will be inaugurated in the near future in many of the di- tricts where promising copper proper. ties are being opened, which will have tendency to induce the opening of mioors.

Superior & Pittsburg shows more activity and looks also strong Calumet & Arizona sold five points higher today than the close of Thursday, being quoted at sl6O. This stock pays an annual divi- dend of $20 per share, which makes it an attractive investment Helvetia Copper company is ginen a good boost in George L. Walkers copper letter of April 12, in which he makes this state ment: "The property is in condition to ship at least 200 tons of ore daily and few months work will prepare it for a daily output of 400 to 600 tons. Such shipmetns will give the company an earning power which will warrant a market price of from $10 to $15 per share.'

Gov. Collier Took Oath in House
 of Worship.
Historic Capitol Building Scene of Many Notable Event. in Life of state and Nation in
 Other Years.

A Governor of Alabama once was inausurated in the old Court Street Methodist Church. A Governor of Alabama was inaugurated in his cham Der while he was dangerously Ill.
 These are, perhaps, the most unusual inaugural exercises that ever took place in Alabama But the most sig nificant inaugural was that in which Jefferson Davis was inaugurated in front of the Alabama Capitol as Pres ident of the Confederate States of America and which was followed by the bloodiest war of modern times. 1.
 The Alabama Governor who took the oath of office in church was Henry W. Collier, of Tuscaloosa County. The Governor had previously been Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Ala bama. After his election, and just pre- vious to his inauguration the State Cap itol on the hill burned to the ground This was on December IA. fS49.
 The Capitol had been built in 1S46 by the citizens of Montgomery, when 1t was decided to remove the State House from Tuscaloosa to this city. In architecture 1t was very similar to the Capitol now on the hill. On De- cember 14, while the Legislature was in session, fire was discovered in the ceiling over the House of Represent atfves near chimney. It was impos- sible to arrest the flames, and in a few hours the new Capitol, the pride of the State, was a mass of ruins.
 The incoming Governor took the oath of office in the presence of the Leg

 Governor Jeiks has long been sim cere friend of the Guard ot Alabama, and his friendship has been most val uab1e to those who have been inter- ested in the upbuilding of the Guard, The brief and eloquent order was pro- mulgated yesterday morning by Gen w. W. Brandon. who was Adjutant- General under the entire admlnistra- ton of Governor Jelks. It was the last off1cial act by the Adjutant-Gen- eral, who yesterday became State Au- ditor.

The streets of the city presented a dull appearance today They appeared more desolate than usual This was on account of the large number of Sel- mians who left yesterday afternoon and this morning for Montgomery to at- tend the inaugural ceremonies
 With the members of the three local military companies and the other citi- zens if was estimated today that there were three hundred Selmians in Mont gomery attending the inaugural cere- monies, The most of these citizens will have returned home by tomorrow night and then the streets of the city will again take on their usual busy appearance.
