COUNCIL KEEPS THE LID OfF
 PRESCOTT
Petition For Sunday Clos ing Unanimously
 Disapproved
tFrom saturdays Daiiy)

The saloons of the City of Prescott will not bc closed on Sundays, or at midnight on any other day of the week, at least not this year. The san. i,ary committee of the city council, to whom was referred the petition signed by Dr. Agnes Mckee Wallace and about 700 other residents of Prescott, including a number of we'll known bus. mess and professional men, made an adverse report and tho council, without e dissenting vote, approved the report.
 The committee to whom the report was referred was composed of Council. man Brown, Belcher and Wilson. Tho committee opposed the petition on the ground that the ssloon men who took ont licenses on April last, had no re. strictions placed on the time saloons were to remain open or closed, and that to gran, the prayer of petitioners would work an injustice and hardship on large number of business men. The report as n whole follows:
 "Wc, the Sanitary Committee 10 whom was referred a petition in re. gard 10 the closing of all places where liquor is sold, at l2 o'clock nights and during Sunday. respectfully report as follows:
 "whcn the liquor dealers were rc. quired 70 take out county license the first of April for the ensuing year, there were no restrictions as 10 tho length of time saloons were to keep open. The understanding being that they could do as they always have been doing if they chose-kccp open day and night and Sundays.
 By closing at twelve o'clock on all week day nights and from l2 p. m. on Saturday to a. m. on the following Monday, they would remain closed two and thrce.fourths days per week, an equivalent to l43 days per year. or over ne-third for which they paid Ii. eensc to do business. This being tho case we consider that the liquor deal. CTS should receive some kind of notice before such action is taken, and should any such ordinances ever be passed they should be passed to take effect at the beginning of the county license year, which begins April ist.
 "As regards Sunday closing; We consider that if the petition was signed with the. idea of making the town nor. ally better by observing the Sabbath day, the closing should apply 10 all kinds of businesses and not saloons alone, as that would be class legi-la. tion.
 "This city is supported wholly by outside population and many find 1t more convenient to come 10 town on Sunday than other days and do cer. tain kinds of business. To such people VIC should try to cater and not work on them an inconvenience.
 "We are of the opinion that the town is not ready for such laws st present, and also believe that before the council takes any action on SO i'm, portant n matter as this petition, it| should first be submitted to n vote of the people of Prescott. With these reasons, we respectfully recommend that no action he taken upon the peti. tion."
 The dry element in Prescott make no secret of their intentions to make n light on the issue of higher license and other restrictions at the city election in January next Until then, at least, Inc liquor question in Prescott win re. main status quo.

WONDER OF THE WORLD.
Ocean Steamer That viii Be Over 1000
Feet Long.

An ocean steamer that will rank
among. the wonders of the world is I'M
der construction at the yards of Har-
land & Wolff, Belfast, Ireland The
keel blocks of sister ship will be laid
down in January. While nothing seems
to be impossible with shipbuilders, there
are many bold enough to prophesy that,
so far as size is concerned, these steam
ers are the last word in, the building
of merchant ships.
They are being built for the White
Star line, which means that to large
extent they are a product of American
enterprise. The line flies the British
flag and is managed by Englishmen, but
it is controlled by American capitalists
The new steamers are an answer to the
Cunard line, which put out last year
the mammoth Lusitania and Maure
tania to stand for British supremacy
on the seas.
Olympic is to be the name of the
record breaker under way, and her sis
ter ship will be called the Titanic. Each
will be 1000 feet long and 80 feet
broad. That is, they will be as wide
as city street and several blocks il
length. The tonnage of each will bt
10000, which would be about the ca
pacity of a mile long train of so tor
cars.

lions of higher education and that those
heads of other institutions who have
avoided politics and displayed conspic-
