LIQUOR QUESTION
IS DISCUSSED
AT THE METHODIST CHURCH
LAST EVENING THOMAS HI.
Balm URGED CITY COUNCIL TO
ABIDE BY FORMER ACTION.

There Is no solution for the sa-
loon question but the abolition of the
saloon" declared Thomas H.
Balm, of Seattle, in stirring
address at the Methodist church
last evening. The speaker was greet
ed by crowded house, and for an
hour and half he discussed the pro-
gress of the temperance movement
since the civil war. 1.-THE civil war"
he declared, 'interfered with the pro-
gress of the temperance movement
by diverting attention from that is
sue to the more immediate one at the
time--the slavery question. And it
was in the conflict that was the out
growth of the slavery question that
the liquor business became intrench-
ed in the nation by the imposition of
revenue tax for war purposes. The
bill by which this tax was imposed
was signed by President Lincoln with
the distinct understanding that it was
| to he war measure simply" The
speaker declared further that at the
time Of the passage of the act, Henry
Wilson. United States senator from
Massachusetts, protested against its
enactment in words which were pro-
phetic: "This will not be a war
measure but it will become the set
| tied policy of the government. 1t
will have tendency to make the Ii
quor business respectable. 1t will
intrench it so firmly in the govern
ment that it will form an oligarchy
which will intimidate the pulpit and
the press, corrupt legislatures, and
it will be harder to get rid of the
! legalized slavery" Proceeding to
discuss the question from and eco
nomic and moral standpoint, he de-
clared that there were consumed an
nually liquors to the amount of l.
67S. 100000 gallons, or 81 Y gallons
to every man, woman and child. This
would form lake large enough upon
which to float the navies of the
world; would build and equip 35 ex-
positions like the one that is now in
the course of construction In Seat

loss, the liquor traffic is a profits
source of crime and Is one Of the

age of homes by divorce. At least

GRANT COUNTY I
HAS No MONEY
NEW COUNTY CUT OFF FROM
DOUGLAS NEEDS LEGISLATURE
TO PROVIDE OPERATING En-
PENSES.

Olympia, March Sunless S. B.
364 becomes a law the new county
of Grant, which was organized at
Ephrata, will have no funds until
1910. The county will have a full
set of officers and the authority to
appropriate money, but the treasury
will be empty.
Nhen the bill providing for the
division of Douglas county was drawn
the question of the division of taxes
was overlooked. The people living
in the part of Douglas county which is
now the new county of Grant were
anxious to have county Of their
own and overlooked the tax ques-
ton.
The residents of the new county are
now confronted with the situation
of seeing Douglas county collect the
taxes and leave the new county in
the cold.
AL Rogers of Waterville proposed
that the situation be relieved by in
PRODUCING bill amending section ETA
of Ballinger's code, to permit the
new county to retain its proportion
ate share of the tax on real property,
but to give to the old county for its
trouble for collecting the taxes al
of the taxes on personal property.
The compromise was accepted by the
Grant county men, and Senator E. c.
Davis introduced a bill which settles
the question of the division Of taxes.
The Davis bill passed the senate
Friday and will come up in the house
mkt week AL Rogers, who is in
ympia will ask that an amendment
0be added which will also settle the
question of ownership of the county
buildings. The amendment proposed
provides that buildings shall be own
ed by the county in which they are
situated. This gives Douglas county
the courthouse but also requires
Douglas county to pay any Indebted
ness on the structure.

INDIAN LANDS
ARE To Be SOLD

Another large tract of fine land Is
to be opened to settlement during the
present year, says the Conconully
Record The tract in question Con-
tains 5000 acres, is located between
Conconully and LOOMS in the Sim
lahekin valley and has been held by
the heirs of Chief Sarsepkin as In
dian allotments.
This tract does not need irrigation
and Is well adapted to fruits or
grasses In fact there is nothing bet
ter in Okanogan county.
Government Agent Daily made a
visit to this section early in Febru-
airy and took the matter up with the
Indians, and as a result they volun-
tarily signed the agreement to have
the lands sold and the proceeds con-
verted into a trust fund.
The opening of these lands to set
Element will be of decided advantage
to the county. George w. Loudon
deserves great credit for the interest
he took in the matter, and for his
work in getting the Indian heirs to-
gether. They were taken to Riverside
last week Friday by Mr.. Loudon,
where the final papers were drawn,
the Indians attesting their willing
ness to dispose of the lands in this
way by affixing their thumb marks.
There is still SUFFICIENT land retained
by the Indians for all their require
ments, and the sale of this tract will
provide them ready money, which
they will receive in installments. The
land to be sold Is capable of support
ing a dense population. 1t is prob
able that when the sale is held 1t will
be attended by more people than have
heretofore attended any land sales
in the northwest.
