Lovelock Wednesday with the report
that the drill had broNen down last

been temporarily closed down pending
the receipt of some new parts, which
have been telegraphetd for to Denver.
The broken parts were the bevee

No cause for the break is ascribed, un.
less it were defective machinery. The
drill has been working satisfactorily,
and a depth of 146 feet had been at

the license in any case if the estab.

proved SO effective in reforming the
saloon that it Should be adopted gen

cense, and by refusing to aid or deal
with any saloon keeper of bad char
acter or who does not strictly comply
with the regulations imposed by law.
In advocating this method of regula-
tlon ! am not unmindful of the thous-
ands of saloon keepers who have been
my loyal friends. 1t is my conviction
that they will be benefited, not injured,
by it.
Having endeavored Tor many years
to purify my business by refusing to
sell to the proprietors of any saloons
which ! knew to be disreputable,
would now welcome any law which viii
afford reasonable method of separat.
ing the brewery from the saloon, to
the mutual benefit of both.
When the saloon is divorced from tho
brewery, the brewer will have no more
political power or influence than any
other manufacturer whose only hold on
his retailer consists in the quality Of
his product and the reasonableness of
its price.

HISTORY OF FAILURE
OF SOUTHERN BANK

The Bulfrog Banking and Trust
company failde to ooen its doors on
Tuesday morning., and in lieu thereof
announced that the institution was in
the hands of the state banking board.
The failure includes the bank at
Rhyolite and the branch institution at
Beatty. The action was taken by
Cashier Joe Small, voluntarily, and in
the exercise of his best discretion. The
reason seems to be that the business
was in a crippled condition and that
it was no longer practical to keep up
expenses.
Owen Young of Grand Forks, N. d.,
is the president Of the banking com.
pany and the chief financier. He has
been carrying the affairs along for
some time and is now depended upon
to meet what loss may be threatened
to the depositors of the concern.

T PRACTICAL MAN
Ulx PROHIBITION

In its issue of June Is, the New
\ ork Sun prints two-column signed
article from the pen Of Adolphus
Busch, o. the st. Louis firm of An
heuser-Busch Brewing association. AT
ter reviewing existing conditions in
tie country today, and the efforts be
ing made by the prohibitionists to de-
stroy the brewing industry, Mr.. Busch
states the belief that all practical re-
quirements can lie met by regulating
the saloons, and closes with the fol
lowing:
Divorce the saloon from the brewery
and liquor supply house.
1t is fact that most breweries anil
liquor supply houses furnish the capi-
tai with which to start new customers
in new saloons. They are forced to do
this by competition. Self preservation
in a given locality requires them to
compete in an undesirable contest
which would not be. necessary or pos
siblc if the law afforded reasonable
regulation.
If all competitors were compelled to
refrain from that kind of forced com.
petition. the public would still obtain
its reasonable requirements of beer and
liquors, the saloon keeper would Become
more Independent of his source Of sup
lly, and the business of brewing
would attain the ideal condition of
manufacturing and selling merchan-.
disc.
