THE PROHIBITION WAVE.

We trust the people OF salt Lake
City read the correspondence from vari-
Gus country points which is appearing
ln the columns of the Doserct News tnd
other papers ON Saturday aud sun
day several significant paragraphs
nude their appearance ono was that
in Preston. Idaho monster petition
bearing more than o. thousand names
praying Tor town prohibition. was sub
nittnd To the city council. and the fol-
lowing paragraphs sny.
Following ou the heels of last
night ci,y council doiugs. came enc
closing of tho Hall a. Eaglcy saloon
This morning.
"On Monday. Jan %. 1903. the coun-
~ commissioners viii be 300 session at
Malad. and that body win refuse 1bso-
lutely 90 grant amy moro licenses 20
conduct liquor business"
IRON Malad comes the following
through a News" correspondent
with the beginning Of the new year
the sale OF liquor was strictly prohib
itcd. AN the saloons are closed, and as
yet there rs no observable change.
Every thing Is as lively as over, the
town Is not dead, but enjoying period
Of reconciliation. Public sentiment is
highly i'm favor OF the work OF the
city council and 10 all appearances,
the now county commissioners will take
decisive stand Ia favor OF prohibit
tion.'
a correspondent from Franklin closes
his letter with the following terse
statement:
Franklin is now a dry town The
board on trustees refused 20 issue d.
cense for the sale Of intoxioants"
In the Herald Of Sunday we note the
following from Ephmim:
The bishopric and head teachers OF |
the Ephraim North and South wards |
are working hard Tor the cessation OF /
the liquor traffic IN Ephraim a man /
from each district has been selected 10
make a house 10 house canvass to get
the signatures of every man and wo-
man who are Ia favor OF closing tho i
saloons Of this city. Most OF the citi-
zens are willing 20 sign, and a large
majority are In favor Of state prohibit
ion. Already steps have been taken
20 close the saloons. At the last city
'ouncil meeting the license was raised
rom $500 TO $500 per quarter"
All these straws indicate which way
he wind is blowing. The prohibition
in salt Lake cannot fall to ex-
srt a wonderful influence throughout
Inc whole western country Let the
agitation go on.
