THE NEW REGIME.

The word saloon has been removed
from all buildings in Oklahoma. Many
of the business places vacated by liquor
sellers are already used for other lines
of trade The new law did not state
what should be done with the supply of
beer in the breweries on the date when
the law went into effect. State au-
thOrities ruled that it could not be
shipped out of the state They could not
sell it and they could not give it away

the watts of the New State Brewery AS
ISOLATION and turned it's beer into the
sewer When the sewer was choked, the
hose was turned into the street and the

of disgraceful scramble to keep the
liquor from going to waste. Buckets,
barrels and receptacles Of all sorts were
utilized in carrying the beer away. The
brewing company named had to part
with $4,000 gallons of beer.

PARK CITY WANTS HOSPITAL
Raising of $4,000 Necessary to Make
State Funds Avail
able,

There is an agitation on foot in Park
City to use the funds at various times
appropriated for the purpose for the
construction of miners hospital, and
Governor Cutler has been asked to look
up the exact sta : of the matter.
The state constitution provided that
10000 acres of state land should be set
aside and the proceeds placed in a fund
for the building of such an institution.
OF this land 49,951.SS acres have been
disposed of. and the proceeds, amount
ing 10 $S3.97491. have been placed in
the treasury. Interest amounting 10
$13.SS3.53 has accumulated. and it would
be this sum that would be used in the
construction of the hospital. In addi-
ton to this, in 1897 the Legislature ap-
propriated $4,000 for a hospital at Park
City, provided that the people of that
place would give $1,000 and the land
This would make nearly $4,000 now
available, and it is thought that there
viii be no difficulty in interesting
enough Park City interests in the VEN
ture so that their share of $4,000 may
be raised.
