DRUGGISTS ON
PROHIBITION.

In a paper read before the sec
ton of Education and Legisla-
ton of the American Pharma
ceutical Association at the meet
ing in Hot Springs, Ark, and
published in The Pharmaceuti-
cal Era, a prominent druggist
urges all members of his profess
sion to observe both letter and
spirit of all prohibition laws.
The present temperance advance
he says, is not a temporary
"wave, but a world movement,
and bound to succeed, because
it is based upon the fact that
the liquor traffic is responsible
for large proportion of the di-
sease, poverty and crime. With
prohibition, there comes to the
druggist a temptation to abuse
his privilege to sell liquor; and
the profession is still more dis
honored in the public mind by
those sellers of liquor who use
so-called drug store as a
blind" Therefore, for the
honor and the safety of the pro-
fession, this writer calls upon
all druggists and organizations
of druggists not only to obey the
law to the letter, but to ally
themselves with the authorities
and insist upon law enforcement.
And if it be found, as he thinks
possible, that liquor-selling mus
be taken out of the hands
druggists altogether, then phar-
macists should themselves take
the initiative, stand sponsor for
such law, and get public
credit for defending their pro-
fessional integrity" Such ut
terances from a man who de-
Glars himself not pers onally a
prohibitionist, or even a total
abstainer, certainly point to a
change in the business mans at
titude toward prohibition.

companying the announcement
of his resignation" came the
statement that his son would
succeed to the positions vacated.
This recalls the prayer: God
bless me and my wife; my son
John and his wife; us four and
no amen!" 1t remains a
fact that Charley's money, TAX
en- from corporation employers,
bought his election to the United
States Senate, and provided
much of the campaign fund of
last year.

Denuer Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS
March 1.-THE receipts of cattle
were fair at the local yards last
week. Demand was good and
prices strong from day to day.
All markets, this one included,
ruled sharply higher early in the
week but on the eastern markets
all the early advance was lost
before the close and at some
points prices were quoted 25 to
35 cents lower on Saturday than
on Tuesday. On this market the
advance was we'll maintained all
week and values are now Is to
25 cents higher than a week ago
on all good cattle. Good beef
steers sold at SIS. 90 to $5. 80, cows
at S4.l5 to S4.75 and fancy cows
on up. Bulls sold at S2.75 to
S3.75 for good fat stuff. Veal
calves fully steady with tops still
selling at $3.50. Feeders and
stockers were in strong demand
if good. There were several
eastern buyers here looking for
good steers and local dealers had
orders also for the good ones.
Good to choice steers brought
$3.50 to S. 30 and the fair to
good sold at S3.75 to $4. As. To-
days market was about steady
here though weak owing to weak
to lower markets at the river.
The trade was good and prices
advanced Is to 25 cents last
week but dropped about a dime
today. Good heavy hogs are now
selling at S6.40 to $6.55 with
lighter weights at SIS. 80 to Sc. 35.
Sheep trade was very good
and prices about steady for the
week. The demand here is very
good but offerings were limited.
Prices paid are fully in line with
the eastern markets.

More or less talk about proba-
BILE floods has been indulged and
slight scares caused in certain
localities along the Gunnison.
1t is true that a vast amount of
snow lies on the ranges, but the
danger, if any, from floods, will
depend entirely on the weather.
Sudden and continued heat would
perhaps cause the river to swell
and possibly to overflow at
places, while a gradual melting
of the range snow would make
it's effect on the streams little
felt. The land is now getting
pretty dry and much water could
be run out of the channel through
the bitches and distributed over
some of the valley lands to good
effect.

Experiments with an automobile truck
fitted up as a mail car for city collec-
tions are being made in Los Angeles
this week, with a view of determining
the practicability of the plan in large
cities. This plan is one that salt Lake
will be among the first to adopt as soon
as il receives the stamp of approval
from the carrier service department at
Washington, according to Postmaster
A. l.. Thomas, who speaks of the mag
nificent distances" in salt Lake as a
handicap to rapid mail delivery and
collection.
The city of salt Lake has more miles
of streets than any other city of its
population I'm the country" said Mr.
Thomas yesterday. We have cOnsid-
cred automobile service for carrying the
mails between the railroad stations and
the postofFice, and in case the automobile
collection system proves practical, it IS
hoped that appropriations will be made
for their use here"

LAKE May RISE TWO
FEET IN NEXT YEAR

The level of Great Salt Lake yester-
day was % feet above zero, which is two
feet higher than at this time last year.
During the warm season the waters have
shrunk but one-tenth of foot, and as
the warm weather is over no further
shrinkage is expected. Many of the shore
flats along the western shore which
are usually high and dry at this season
of the year. are now under water
The dry peninsula TO the north of
StansbUry island no longer shows above
the surface of the lake. and at the
trcstiework of the Lucin cutoff the water
is so high that every Zig windstOrm piles
the waves clear over the track. In view
of the phenomenal rise of the lake in
recent years, a further increase of two
feet is expected within the next twelve
months.
