PROSPERITY OF LONG
BEACH, CALIFORNIA

Anti-Saloon League Bulletin.
In 1900 the city of Long Beach, Cal,
after a strenuous campaign, abolish
ed the saloon. Many influential men
OF the city at that time predicted
that as a result of this move, the
grass would soon be found growing
in the streets of Long Beach.
The population OF Long Beach has
grown under the dry regime from
two thousand to almost twenty thou
sand in eve years. In 1900, there
was n lumber-yard in the city,
with n man and a one-horse wagon
to deliver the lumber; today there
are six yards and three large planning
mills. employing about one hundred
men. In 800 there was one hurch
church edifces. In 190O there was one
bank, with deposits Of about $40, 900;
today there are seven banks, with
deposits running as high, sometimes,
as $4,000, 900. In 1900 there were five
school buildings; today there are ten
school buildings. In -19OO there were
Is school teachers employed; today
there are 1903. In 1900 there were 900
pupils, while today there are 5000.
In addition to all this. the city has
put down about thirteen miles of as
phalt pavement and has built and
equipped in splendid fashion a hotel
costing almost one million dollars.
The growth and development of
Long Beach is all the more significant
when the fact Is taken into considera-
ton that until 1900, when the saloons
were excluded, Santa Monica was lar
ger than Long Beach. and several 9th
er resort cities similarly situated as
to climate and general surroundings
were equal to Long Beach In popula-
ton and Importance. The latter city,
however, has now far outstrtpped San
ia Monica and the other cities that
were similarly located.

PROSPECTS GOOD IN
ROOSEVELT COUNTY.
From PortaIes Times.

From Portales Times.
Roosevelt county is proving up to
all expectations as to its agricultural
possibilities. The late rains have
been ample md commodious and the
crops are in as good condition as
could be expected. 1t Is true we had
a dry spell while the East and North
were suffering from foods This be-
ing a new country and the people not
being so well acquainted with the
habits of our weather they become
easily scared when moisture is lack
ing. In old settled countries when
it fails to rain for a few weeks peo-
pie know they ave had periods OF
dry weather before, and NOW that
rains will come, SO they are not SO
easily discouraged. 1t takes those
who have faith in the country they
live in to stay with it and build 1t up.

The corrupt use of large sums of
money in political campaigns is large
ly responsible for the subversion of
the peoples will at the polls. The
masses are awakening to a realiza-
ton of the great power of gold in
contests that ought to be determined
according to the character of nom1-
nees and the soundness and morality
of political issues; and there is a
general demand for publicity in the
collection and use of campaign funds
so that our citizens may know wheth-
er a political party has purchased its
way into office or has won its victo-
ries by honest means.
In the Chicago convention a minor
ity report of the committee on reso-
buttons, containing a declaration in
favor of publicity was overwhelming
" defeated upon a roll call of the con
vention and the Republican party
placed itself squarely upon record in
favor of concealing the names of the
contributors, and b mounts of their
subscriptions. By a vote of So to 1 in
the committee, and a vote of more
than ten to one in the body OF the
convention they confessed their guilt.
They thus admitted the charge so
frequently made by u party hat Re
publican success in the past has
largely depended upon the vast sums
of money collected from the great
monopolies of the country and cor
ruptly used in the conduct of its cam
paigns. Let the voters of this coun-
try seriously consider whether the
refusal of the Republican party to
disclose b sources and mounts of
its election finances IS not a confess
sion of the debasing and corrupt use
of moneys in its campaigns.
1t is eminently proper that this
convention should define the Demo
cratic attitude toward the regulation

the attention of the country to the
indisputable fact that it was only at

Burke DefieS Roosevelt TO
Produce Any HOIdup Letters

Los ANGELES, Oct 27.-Defying
Roosevelt and Vice Presid Candi-
date Sherman to produce any hold
up letters written by him, and calling
former United States Senator Patter-
son of Colorado a notorious liar" Ed
mund Burke, the attorney accused OF
duplicating Sherman in the New Mex

given to the New York World, today,
admitted the plot does mot seem right

Burke's defiance to Roosevelt fol-
lowed the publication at Washington

said that Sherman evidently refused
to pay any attention to the hold up
letters" Patterson is reported to have
said he was present when Burke i'm
plicated Sherman in the statement.
Burke admits he went to Denver
less than 10 days ago to see former
Senator Patterson, Simon Guggenheinl
and others in connection with the land
plot exposure, but insists he did 1ot
go there to give information but tC

Interesting statistics are given out
at the Y. M. G.. A. by Physical Director
Applegate in regard to the growth and
development of Walla Walla boys. The
first year of the gymnasium work In
the junior department has closed ano
the second year has just opened. Phy-
sical examinations given recently to
the boys, compared with the ones OF
last year, form the basis from which
the figures are made up.
Every boy who enters the physlcai
department of the Y. M. G. A. is given
an examination. His height is taken,
his weight recorded, his lung capacity
tested, and in the case of older boys,
physical tests are given. The boys are
divided into two classes, one of the
lads from 10 to IA years of age and the
other with boys from Is to II.
From the figures taken at the begin
ming of the two years, the following
statistics are gained: Boys from III
to IA years increase, on the average,
