No Check in the West.

check in the south or west, and grad
ually the wave is sweeping toward
the east and north. The only middle
state thus far that has had a knock
down and drag out fight on the Dues
ton is Delaware. 1t was a stand off,
more than half the state geographic
cally going dry. There are only half
dozen states that have what is
called statewide prohibition. These
are Maine, Georgia, Alabama, Mis-
slsslppi, Kansas, Oklahoma and Ten
nessee. The law in Tennessee, how
ever, does not go into effect until
July LIST next. In the states of
Maine, Kansas and Oklahoma prohi-
bltlon is constitutional; in the other
states it is statutory.
The dry, wave is not the result
OF the prohibition political move
ment. The cause has been made eff
fective in nearly all the state by
what are called Anti-oaloOn Leagues.
The movement is social and moral
instead Of political. The cause has
been advanced chiefly through local
option laws.
The last strongholds in states
where there is not statewide pro-
hibition have been the cities. In al
most every case the movement has
begun in remote and sparsely settled
counties and has spread rapidly to
the more populous and central places.
Various devices have been established
to check the wave. In some cases
they have been successful for the
time being, only to give away before
another onward rush of movement.

Georgia Woods.

The splendid collection of Georgia
woods was made by bOtanists of es-
tabHshed reputation. The woods
nave been sawed into sections five
feet in length which preserves the
bark OF the wood and it's natural
appearance, while a small surface
or the top of each section has been
polished to show it's grain.
The specimens are labelled with
their common and botanic names,
and the distribution of each in vari-
Gus sections Of the state is shown
by specially prepared map attached
to the specimen.
One end of the corridors of the
third floor is devoted to a display of
fruits and grains, showing what
Georgia can produce in the wav of
me peaches, pears, apples and other
fruits as well as corn, oats, wheat
and various other grains.
In single case there is a large
cotton stalk retaining the bolls, an
prOXimately 500 of them, which is of
particular interest to northern visit
Ors.
The museum has a small nucleus
for an exhibit Of relics. The pres
ent collection consists of arrow
heads, stone axes, mortars and In
dian pottery, and relics of the civil
war found near Atlanta.

injurious to cotton, fruits and grains,
such as the boil weevil, cotton wilt
or black root, chinch bug, brown
tail moth, San Jose scale and many
others.
This display includes not only
mounted specimens of the bugs

Politics Is Mixed With 1t.

While not political in origin the
movement in several states has be-
come mixed with politics. In Texas
the democrats have declared for
statewide prohibition. The legisla-
ture has refused to give it, The
republicans have declared against the
movement. The prohibitionists say
they will go before the people politi-
cally with the matter.
South Carolina will be dry for
two weeks next August in an in
term between the expiration of the
dlspensary law and vote whether
that system will be renewed. In
Arkansas the democrats are willing
to submit statewide prohibition to
the people, but the prohibitfonists
have changed front and demand in
slant statutory inhibition The leg
lslature has refused to grant it, and
the former local option prevails.
In Iowa the lower house has voted
to resubmit statewide prohibition
The senate is trying to smother the
proposition in committees. The
same is true in Missouri. The liquor
interests in Nebraska last fall threw
their strength to the democrats and
elected that ticket in the hope of
stemming the tide. The republicans
will probably declare for prohibition
to get even.
In Oklahoma the Sons of Washing
ton, anti-prohibition, plan to use the
initiative to secure a state vote on
repeating constitutional prohibition.
In Kentucky the National Model Lii
cense advocates are trying to stem
the tide and are making some head
way, but the bigger sweep of the drv
movement is outpacing this progress
1t probably will be a surprise to most
readers to know that Ohio is already
60 per cent. dry, and that Illinois
and Indiana are running Ohio close
1t is the general declaration that in
Kentucky, Missouri, Indiana. Illinois
Nebraska and Colorado the dry"
laws are well enforced.
Prison penalties for evasions of
the law do the trick in some of these
states.

DRY WAVE is SWEEPING on
STEADY GAINS IN WEST AND
SOUTH. WILL BATTLE FOR
EAST AND NORTH NEXT.

NEW YORK.-Two counties, Suf-
folk and Nassau, on the eastern end
of Long Island, voted for licensing
saloons. 1t was the first recent de-
termined contest in New York state
on what might be called a moderately
large scale between the saloons and
the "drys." For the moment there
seemed to be a check on the dry
wave which has been sweeping over
the country. The day before 10
more counties in Michigan joined the
dry column. So far as the move
ment in general is concerned the
Long Island result was simply a
local check.
The south is practically dry" but
in the most dry states there is max
of the law. Blind tigers
are thick all over the south Most
Of the country districts in the middle
and far west are dry, and the law is
we'll enforced in those regions.

Short Accounts Of Events That Have
Happened During the Past Few
Days in the State.

Tho townships along the proposed
right-of-way controlled by the Chippe-
wa Power Co., which will erect dams
on the Chippewa river, are awakening
to the fact that the concern got much
the best of the bargain in the fran
chises recently granted, and at least
three of them are making a frantic
scramble to amend the franchises be-
fore the company starts operations.
A careful perusal of the franchises
shows that the company, by clever
wording OF the documents, is granted
the right to begin building operations
any time within 80 years, and is al
lowed to demand any price they see
fit for the product after the genera.
tion of electricity has begun. Bangor
township voters, in a recent meeting,
amended the franchises which they
granted the company providing that
consumers in that township are to Sc.
cure light and power as low as any
consumer OF the company. and two
other townships in Bay county will
follow this lead within the next few
days.

The Inauguration OF the new War
ner-Cramton liquor law has put Hur-
ley back on the map. Hurley is the
once famous town across the Mon
treal creek which the late Peter
White and the new state constitution
declare is a part of Michigan. In the
old lumber days, Hurley with its
open saloons, gambling places. dance
halls and dives surrounded by prison
walls and guarded by fierce dogs, was
known nationally as the wickedest
town in the world. or late years II
has dwindled into free-and-easy vii
lage. There is no liquor law in Hur'
ley that anybody knows about. Sun
day is the same as any other day, and
everything keeps open all night IL
there is any business to be done.
Just now there is q stampede OF
Michigan men and money across the
state line. The Burton hotel, built in
the early Gogebic boom days, closed
up for the past fourteen years, has
been repaired and refurnished in an.
ticipation of this new liquor law. II
was opened up in royal style and is
now running full blast. Here any.
thing that money can procure is TO be
had and no questions asked. The
hotel has 90 rooms for guests, besides
private club rooms.
Real estate in Hurley has jumped
up to its former high values, where
few months ago lots on the main
street with tumble-down shacks on
them, were sold for the taxes.
