NO RURAL SALOONS NEEDED.
Duluth News Tetbuae Sees Nauoh1
Bot 0arm 10 the Establishment
Of Cross-2oads Joiats.

Whatever excuses may be offered
for saloons in cities and the larger
communities, they have no possible
excuse and fill no possible demand
except that of augmenting evils in
purely agricultural district. They
are the strongest determent to settle
ment and the most potent obsta Gle
to the success of the farms.
st. Louis county is making con-
certed effort to settle it's vacant
lands. 1t can do nothing that will
be a greater hindrance to this than
to permit saloons among it's settle
ments. Every saloon licensed in
it's farming territory will render
useless large part of this organized
effort and will make just so much
harder the development of every
farm.
One reason our grandfathers were
able to accomplish what they did ae
pioneers was that they were not
hampered by saloons. One reason
it is hard for farmers to succeed in
new fields today, and that it is al
most impossible to secure salts
factory farm help, ia that the saloons
follow settlements almost as
simultaneously as the constitution
follows the flag.
The Duluth & Iron Range Rail-
road company, which is the owner
of 100000 acres of the most deeira bic
lands in this county, and which is
endeavoring to open them by road
building and settle them, makes
it part of it's fixed policy to oppose
the location of saloons in it's ter
ritory. 1t does this for strictly
business reasons, because it knows
they are harm and an enemy to
settlement.
Every settler it gets knows this
policy and it meets their approval.
Few farmers want a saloon at their
trading place. They know it's
dangers. If they want liquors they
can have it at their homes, but when
they drive to the market place,
always several miles distant. they
know that that very distance in.
creases in proportion the strength
and evil of it's influence.
Nor do they dare to send their
hired help to such a place. If they
do, they cannot be sure when they
will return, if at all, or in what con-
dition their teams will be. Az for
they have all seen their
own or their neighbors' loads of
grain and produce transformed to
St. Louis county could have no
better advertisement for it's farm
lands than that no saloons were
permitted at the little trading
And every time the COM
missioners license such a saloon
they are injuring the present
settlers, keeping out others and
preventing the development of

Bank Examination is Pronounced De.
 feCtiVe.

Defects in the methods of bank examination and the inability of the comptroller of the currency to deal with infractions of the banking laws without resorting to such harsh pun ishment as the closing of the national institutions, were pointed out to the national monetary commission last week by high officials of the treasury department.
 Any general revision of the nation al banking iawa is not contemplated in the present hearings, all of which are executive. Such changes as will be recommended will in all probabil- ity be confined to amendments which can be made without friction between bankers and officials charged with the enforcement of the national banking laws. It is not intended to provide for any general revision of the laws in advance of a full report of the commission, which will not he made unti' after the first regular session of the siXty-tr>t congress.

Lumber Cut Has Reached the Limit.

That the top Lotch of production of lumber in the United States was reached during the last year, and that from now on the annual produc- tion would either remain the same as last year, or would show d decrease, was the startling announcement made last week before the National Conservation commission at Wash ington, by Overton Price, associate forester in the United States forest service.
 He also said that the annual cut of timber last year would cover a piece of land LOGO acres in area, and would make pile as high as the Washing ton monument It has been esti- mated' continued Price, "that in- dustries subsisting wholly or mainly upon wood pay wages to more than l,500, ,OOO persons The original for ests covered one-half the United States, and the existing forests cover one-fourth. Only One-ffth of all our standing timber is publicly owned, and only 70 per cent. of the private forests, are conserved by the United States.
 Tie names of two new commission CTS were announced, Ex-Governor George c. Pardee, of California, and Dr. Charles R. Van Hise, of the Uni yersity of Wisconsin.

Bad Coin Passer Taken in Douglas.

A young man about thirty years of age, giving his name as Andrew Stover, was arrested in Dougles last week by Night Officer King, in Dyson's saloon on Sixth street, charged with passing counterfeit coin.
 Stover is a well dressed and well appearing man, who says that he came from Silver Bell, Arizona.
 He is charged with passing three counterfeit S2O gold pieces at resorts on Sixth street. When arrested he had something like SlOO in gold which it is presumed he raked in from charge from spurious coin.
 He maintained absolute secrecy regarding his real identity, and all efforts to secure any statements as to where he halls from, or how long he has been engaged in the Illicit passing of bad coin, is to no avail.

Phoenix Physician RegainS License.

On the ground that the defendant had not acted with legal regularity, Judge Kent in the district court an- nulled the action of the territorial board of medical examiners in re- voking the license of Dr. c. M. Alton, physician for the Bi-Lo-Zone com pany, which is selling mineral water to the people of Phoenix.
 Charges were made before the medical board by the Maricopa Medi- cal society, through its secretary, Dr. Redewill, that Dr. Alton was guilty of uuprofessional conduct in that he told in black type of the wonderful cures his mineral water produced.
 When the medical board decided to revoke Aiton's license he immediate ly began proceedings against the board, asking for d writ of certer- rari to compel d review of the pro- ceedings by which they revoked his license.
 In passing on the case, Judge Kent announced that he was not deciding the legal right of the medical board to revoke the license of a physician but was deciding in favor of Alton on the ground that the medical board had not acted regularly in its de Alterations and final revocation of the license.
 Members of the medical board who were represented by Attorney Gen. eral E. $ Clark, have announced that they will proceed again against Alton, and that in this second pro ceeding they will adhere more closely to the law governing matters of this kind.
 Alton was represented by Attorneys Baker and Hayes, who brought to light a number of details of Aiton's loss of his license that convinced the court that it should be given back to him.

Mining Outlook in Jerome District is
 Vastly Improved.

Activity in the mining world of Jerome and vicinity grows apace, and there is d feeling that the com ing year will prove this to be the best if not the biggest mining camp in ali the southwest. As for that, it is already the best, and sanguine ones think it will be the biggest before Thanksgiving Day rolls around again.
 The Mescal is one of the most promis ng properties of the district, and work there is driving ahead with no let up, and the indications are more encouraging each day. Super intendent Jim Movies is more than pleased with the outlook.
 At the Arkansas x Arizona, the "Old relidble''-the first of the ''standbys" to do things many i'm proyements have recently made.
 The two new companies continue to rush operations. These are the Grand Island and Louisiana and Ali z)na. At the former property build iugs have been created preparatory to extensive exploration work, and at the L. x A. like preparations are making.
 To this latter property a second pack train of. fourteen burros, laden with mining implements and all necessary supplies, was sent recently. The company behind the L. & A. is said to be the richest that ever en tered the district, and is composed of many Louisiana capitalists of large means.
 At the L. X A. the surface showing is exceptionally alluring, and the same is to be said of the Grand Island property, where the showing at the surface and several feet below, has never been surpassed in Arizona.
