OKLAHOMA is DRY.
Doors of $50 Saloons Have Been
Closed Since Saturday Night.

Oklahoma City, Ok, Nov. 10
When IL O'Clock came Saturday night
approximately $50 saloons in Okla
homa closed their doors as the result
of the statewide prohibition provision
in the state constitution. And they
will remain closed. constructively al
least. until the constitution is amend
ed in way that would permit them
to resume business.
The greatest number of saloons in
one town was sixty-five at Oklahoma
City, where the fixtures, ETC., of each
saloon had an average value of about
$1,000. The only breweries in the
state, two in number, were in Okla
homa City.
An idea of the saloon traffic in the
territory of Oklahoma may be gained
from the statement of an experienced
saloon keeper who said today that
the gross income of each saloon in
Oklahoma would average $40 day
for 365 days in the year. making a
total of $3.696.000 paid annually for
alcoholic beverages by the people of
one-haIf the new state, Indian Terri
tory having had federal prohibition
for many years.
The number of men who will be
compelled to find new means of
livelihood is close to 5000, counting
the hangers-on at these places Most
of the saloon fixtures were furnished
by brewing companies, and will be
shipped out of the state. The furni-
ture for some Of the bars in the larger
cities cost more than $4,000 for each
bar.
Hereafter liquor may be purchased
only at state dispensaries and only for
medical purposes on a prescription
written by recognized physician
who is required under penalty to
know at first hand that the person for
whom the liquor is prescribed is Ill
and that the liquor is necessary for
medical treatment. There is nothing
however, to prevent the shipment of
liquor from outside states to persons
who buy it for their personal use. 1t
is a violation of law for one person
to give another drink of intoxicating
liquor
Druggists who have been selling
patent medicines that contain per
cent or more of alcohol and that may
be drunk in quantities to produce in
toxication have been compelled to
abandon this branch of their business
under the combined effect of state
wide prohibition and a ruling of the
department of internal revenue The
sale of such patent medicines in Okla
homa and Indian Territory has
amounted to hundreds of thousands
of dollars a year.
The druggists are confronted with
the predicament that If a physician
should write prescription containing
alcohol and the person using 1t should
get intoxicated the druggist would be
in danger of prosecution by the. inter-
nal revenue department for not hav-
ing revenue license, vet If they
should get such a license it's mere
possession would be sufficient for the
state to make arrests.

FOUNTAIN HAS BEEN SHIPPED.
VIII Be Placed on Quincy Street Near
Sixth Avenue. .-

The $4,000 drinking fountain which
is given to the city as a gift outright
by the National Humane society has
been shipped from Maine and is ex-
pected to arrive here sometime the
fore part of next month.
The fountain is constructed out or
costly granite and embellished with
gargoyles of bronze. Provision is
made in the plans of the drinking
fountain for the smaller animals, such
as dogs as we'll as horses in small
drinking basins constructed under
meath the main drinking basin. The
fountain will be erected on Quincy
street Just north of Sixth avenue.
The entire cost of freight and set
ting up as well as the original cost
of the fountain is borne by the Ma
tional Humane society which Is erect
ing a number of similar fountains in
the principal cites of the United States.
Hermon Lee Ensign who died a
number of years ago left a fortune
which he ordered should be dis
tributed largely in the erection of
these fountains and the National HUI
name society has charge of the dis
tribution of the funds of the estate
for the purpose above named. The
loca ton of fountain in Topeka is
due in a measure to the efforts made
by the Foster Humane society.
The fountain when erected, will be
dedicated publicly with appropriate
ceremony.

SPIRIT OF COxEY.
1t Appears in Proposition of Con-
gresham Bartholdt's.

Chicago. Nov. ia dispatch to the
Record Herald from Washington says:
Representative Bartholdt of Mis-
souri,, after a talk with President
Roosevelt announced his intention of
introducing bill as soon as congress
meets to give legal status to the inland
waterways commission, which was
created by executive act. and another
bill providing for a 100000 bond

ent great waterway Improvements
leaving the smaller projects to be TAX

harbor bills
1t is proposed to have the waterway
commission a permanent body, which
shall employ experts and keep con-
gress officially advised as to the merits
of waterway projects. Mr.. Rartholdt
says the president regards the plan
with favor. To large extent the pro-
posed permanent commission would
relieve the rivers and harbors commit
tee of Investigation work, and, it is
declared, prevent favoritism and poll

HITCH IN VIADUCT PLANS.
Sidewalk Arrangements Are Not En-
tirely Satisfactory.

Because sidewalks for pedestrians
have not been planned for the entire
length of the proposed Branner street
viaduct an effort will be made to ask
for reconsideration of the vote which
passed the viaduct franchise-o ordinance
at the last council meeting. The next
regular meeting of the council comes
December and it is probable that II
the effort crystallizes in favor of asking
for reconsideration a special meeting
of the council will be held
A sidewalk will be constructed for
pedestrians for a good portion of the
viaduct, across the Santa Fee right of
way with stairways leading to this
sidewalk but women with baby car
riages would have to follow up the APP
proaches and thread their way among
the teams and street cars until they
reached that portion of the viaduct
where the sidewalk is constructed. This
is rather perilous for this class of pc
destrians and it is believed that the
street railway company should enlarge
it's plans so as to continue the foot
paths the entire distance of the viaduct
from one approach to the other.

Congressman Prince Does Not Approve
of Treasury Plan.

Chicago, Nov. ia dispatch to the
Inter-Ocean from Galesburg, ILL.,, says:
Congressman George Prince. member
of the house committee on banking and
currency, in speaking of the issuance
of Panama bonds and debt certificates,
I'VE owe ssoO,oOO,ooO of interest
bearing debt. We have today in the
hands of national banks, and drawing
no interest for the government $24o,-
100000.
1.-The present policy of the secretary
of the treasury is to all intents in times
of peace adding to the interest bearing
debt of the people $150,000,000. 1t is
not Just1hable under existing condi-
tions. 1 think that the $50,000,000
anna canal should be taken out of the
$240, 100000 in the banks, and not be
raised by bond issue. As to the other
100000 600 which is proposed to be
raised by debt certificates, I do not
approve of the plan at all. First be-
cent interest, and no one is going to
buy a government note that draws but
three per cent interest.
Second, because the purpose of the
per cent note is to realize money
from the sales of these certificates, the
money arising from the sale to be de-
posted in the national banks. What
does this mean? 1t means, If 1 under
stand 1t correctly, that the people are
to borrow 800, 100000 and pay per
cent on it and hand it over to the ma
tiona1 banks, to be by them loaned
without a dollars cost to them, to the
people at the rate of to 10 per cent,
according to the rate where the banks
are located"
Prince also said he disapproved asset
currency, unless it was proposed to
deposit in the treasury assets securing
the issue.

BRICK COMPANY
IMPROVES PLANT
Construction of Permanent
Kiln to Save Time
and Fuel

The Idaho Brick company is now
engaged in the construction OF q new
l5-arch kiln which will cost approx
mately $4,000, but which is estimated
to lessen the fuel expense of operating
the plant from 10 to 81 per cent.
The walls of the new kiln will be
about 6 feet in thickness at the has :;
will be Is feet high and cover an
area of 40 by 60 feet. The kiln will b
covered, rendering the operation of
the plant indepondnt of the weather
conditions and will eliminate the loss
of large number of brick which are
usually rendered useless by going on
the outer side of the burning kiln.
= The fuel expense of operating the
plant amounts to about 500 a day
while the kilns are being burned and
by the saving in fuel expense an loss
in worthless brick the improvement Is
regarded as most important one.
The demand for brick at the present
time is very brisk in the outside mar
ket and the company will encounter
no difficulty in disposing Of the en-
tire output of the plant at an advance
in price Of form 81 to 50 over former
seasons.
