THE PROHIBITION MOVEMENT
The Retail Liquor Dealers Seek
To Restrict An Illicit
Traffic.

For some years the prohibition move
ment has been gaining strength
throughout the country and in many
communities laws have been passed
abolishing the sale of Intoxicating
liquors. For this state of affairs the
saloons alone are responsible, more es-
pecially, perhaps, those in the large
cities, where tine observance of the
laws has depended entirely on the
saloonkeeper's pull" with the police.
Provided this influence was str ing
enough, every safeguard hedged abont
the traffic has been openly and notori-
ously violated; liquors have been sold
to anybody, man, woman or child, who
produced the price; keys have hcen
thrown away and saloons never closed
from one years end to the other;
gambling. assgnation and other vices
have been tolerated, provided the bar
was patronized. Recognizing the fact
that the saloon must be reformed if it
continues to exist, the Illinois liquor
dealers, in state convention, have
adopted the following code of ethics to
govern the saloons of the state. II
they are carried out, many of the Oh
jectional features will have been re-
moved:
10 prohibit the serving of drinks to
any female, to be drunk at a public
bar.
To prevent the gambling for money
in any and all forms upon the premis-
es,
To conduct places of business so that
neighbors will feel them necessary in
stead of hindrance, and respect the
wishes of the neighbors in every possi-
BILE way.
To discontinue the promiscuous Civ
ing of Christmas presents in any form
whatever.
To stop the sale of scent "growlers"
and limit the sale of beer in buckets to
the residents of the immediate neigh
borhood
To exclude from all saloons and pub
lie bars all indecent pictures and cards
and discourage the use of indecent pic
lures or labels for advertising purpos-
es by the makers of or dealers in
liquors, cigars and cigarettes.

The editor of this paper and family
spent last Sunday ac the home of Sho-
Der ]. Rogers, superintendent of the
government experimental farm. Mr..
Rogers is the proud possessor of one
of the best farm units of the project
and is rapidly bringing it up to high
state of cultivation. And his district
is considered one of the best if not the
best in the whole project, embracing
the homesteads of j. C. Whipp, Joe
Shane, E. w. Pierson, A. j. Ward,
D. A. Wildes, G. w. Black, A. D.
Drumm, Ole Erickson and many others,
all of which are producing abundantly
and in a manner to spen future inde-
pendence for those who were fortunate
enough to have been able to secure
these claims earlier in the projects
history.
Dinner at the Rogers home proved
to nicety that Mr.. Rogers had used
excellent discriminatory power in Sc
lecting a cook at the time of making a
choice several years ago back in his
home state of North Carolina. The
day was certainly treat to the editor
of this paper and his family.

NEVAOA'S FULL CREW LAW
Will Be Fought Out In the
Courts of the State to
Test Ii.

The Carson Appeal says that Attor-
ney General Stoddard is preparing the
complaint on behalf of the state in the
suit that will shortly be instituted
against the Southern Pacific Company
by the state of Nevada for an alleged
violation of the Full Grew" law.
The railroad commission has been
cognizant of the fact that this law has
been violated by the Southern Pacific
Company for some time past and a
short time ago started an investigation
which resulted in the discovery that
the law had been entirely ignored by
the railroad people. After the Of
ficials Of the railroad commission had
positive evidence of specific violation
of the law. they notified the Southern
Pacific that trains running through
this state would have to be manned
with full crews, as required by the
state law or prosecution would fol-
low. The matter was referred by the
S. P. Company to its attorneys and
they addressed polite note to the
railroad com nission, requesting them
to forget it. The learned corporation
attorneys advanced the further assur-
ance that they were engaged in the
business of interstate commerce and
that the state law WAS of no effect as
far as they were concerned.
The matter was then turned over to
the attorney general by the railroad
commission for further advice ae to
what procedure to take to enforce the
statute. The attorney general went
into the matter thoroughly and decided
that the law Is constitutional and
sh ould be enforced and is now engaged
in preparing q complaint that will be
filed in Washoe county. A warrant
will probably be issued on the COM
plant and served on one of the execu-
tive officers of the company and the
case threshed out in court.
The contention of the state is that
the Southern Pacific has violated po.
lice regulation and that the regulation
conflicts in no manner with any United
States law or Interstate Commerce
ruling and to support this contention
the attorney general has secured re-
cent decisions from the Supreme
Court of Indiana and Arkansas uphold
ing the constitutionality of the Full
Grew" law which has been adopted by
those states.

Entrymen Restored.

A. Corbell received word Monday that
his homestead entry had been restored
to entry temporarily, pending the re-
ports of the local project officials, and
that favorable reports from them
would mean permanent restoration.
From the several restorations, It Is
evident that the department is going
to act slowly in cancelling entries.
The recent cancellations seem to have
been made through misunderstanding
and Secretary Ballineer's action in re.
storing these entries to those who
claim them as home is most commen.
dable.
By this time the department must
know something of the adverse con.
ditions that initiate against immediate
success in this project. This paper
learns semi-officially that more leni.
ency is going to be displayed in the fu-
ture and that water payments due this
fall may be deferred until a later date.

NEVADA HILLS COMPANY
Finds More Promising Indica-
tions. Mine is County's
Premier Property.

Rock that looks like heavy lead ore,
which it isn't, was shown yesterday
by Manager W. H. Weber of the Me-
vada Hills Mining company. The ore
came from the latest strike of the
Nevada Hills mine, where strong
flow of water suddenly tapped, washed
down boulders of the stuff weighing as
much as 1h0 pounds each. And the
black stuff that looks like lead assays
1000 ounces in silver and $500 in gold
to the ton. In appearance it is said to
be precisely the same thing as the bo-
naDza ore in the famous Comstock
mine.
What it may mean for Nevada
Hills has not yet been determined
The management does not know posi-
lively vet whether it has big body of
the rich material or only q few bould-
ers of it. But it would be q strange
occurrence if large boulders of that
kind Of ore should be found in the
bowels Of the earth without there be-
ing main body close by. 1t Is as
permanent looking stuff as ever came
from mine.
A significant feature of the find is
that it was made in the big fault vein,
which 10 barren in the upper levels.
The strike was made in a 20.foot
winze sunk from a drift which was
sent out to the fault vein on the $50
foot level. The water came In SO
rapidly that the miners had only time
to gather up some of the rich boul6ers
which we're washed down before max.
ing their escape. The water soon
flowed over the top Of the winze, and
1t is being cared for by being run back
into an open part of the mine.
A drift is now being run on the
400-foot level to get under the new
strike, that level being so feet below
the bottom of the winze. At the same
time drift is being run in the oppo-
site direction from the shaft to con-
meet with an open fissure, into which
the flow of water will be conducted
when the fault vein is tapped on the
lower level.-Tonopah Bonanza.

Weevil Pest Spreading.

Weevil, the pest that has cost the
United States hundreds Of millions of
dollars in cotton destroyed, now seems
sure to spell ruin for tens of thou
ands of acres of alfalfa, commonly
known as lucerne, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. The loss this season in Salt
Lake county alone will reach over
$500, 900 according to Prof. E. G. Ti-
tus of the Agricultural college at Logan.
"This pest is a national danger, I"
said Prof. Titus. There is no hope
of killing it out, all we can do is to
fight it. The weevil is small bug
that attacks the alfalfa plant, eating
the leaves, parts of the stem and the
flower. This season in Salt Lake coun-
ty it first appeared on the east bench,
near the State prison, but soon spread.
The first crop it injured severly, the
second crop /: affected even worse, and
the third crop was blighted in some
ccses and practically ruined and a
total loss in others.
"Next season the weevil will appear
all over the country. 1t is spread in
hundred ways, by the wind, by the
railroad with every bale of alfalfa
they carry, by wagons; in fact. by
everything that will lend hiding place
for the bug.
at is just as hopeless now to ex-
terminate the weevil as it would be to
exterminate all the flies. How to fight
the weevil successfully we do not
know. The government has spent hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in the
South trying to find out how to kill it,
but like the fly, the grasshopper and
such pests, there seems to be no way
to fight it. The best we can do is to
limit its spread as much as possible.
"The weevil appeared in southern
Europe and has spread all over the
world, costing millions Of dollars loss.
} 1t crossed the sea in ships just as does
the rat or the mouse. The effect on
the live stock industry of the West is
greater from thie pest than almost
anything else that could happen. 1t
would easily be worth one billion dol
lars to America If the weevil had
never appeared. Humboldt Star.

NEW DEPARTMENT RULING
J. c. Whips Appeal Rejected
But Improvements Gov
ern Decision.

J. C. Whipp received notification
Tuesday of the rejection of his appea
by the commissioner of the genera
land office from payment of water
charges. In Commissioner Dennet's
recitation of facts surrounding Mr..
Whips case, it is cited that the
matter had been referred to the recla-
nation department, which on the 9th
of this month reported Mr.. Whips
crop value at 500, and stated that
they could see no reason why he should
not meet the charges imposed.
At the same time Mr.. Whipp is
handed well earned bouquet in the
statement by the reclamation depart
ment that he had made commendable
effort in bringing his selection to a
high state of cultivation. In fact,
Commissioner Dennet made extended
reference to this fact, which would
lead one to presume that his rulings on
such matters in the future would be
contingent largely upon the success
attained by the homesteader concerned.
Mr.. Whipp was given an additional
sixty days In which to appeal to the
honorable secretary from the commits
soner' ruling, of which he does not in
iend to avail himself, as he Is one of the
fortunate few who are able to meet the
governments requirements.

day evening by ten of the boys of '9s
to organize local camp of Spanish
American war veterans. The neces-

and camp name decided upon. "Pa-

name inasmuch as the city of Pasig in
Luzon was familiar to most of the
boys present.
