OFFICIALS OF AoRIcULTURAL
DEPARTMENT VISIT WEST



SPOKANE, Wash. Aug. 25.-"Ev-
erywhere in the northwest we have
found the crops showing up fine where
dry weather conditions are considered.
Scientific work has paid well, while in
other places, where the farmers paid no
heed to conserving the moisture and to
the proper tilling Of the soil the crops
are failures.''
DIR. L. J. Briggs, physicist in charge
of the United States department Of ag.
riculture. who is in Spokane to confer
with officers of the Dry Farming con-
gress. said this in an interview. He is
accompanied by III. L. Shantz, who is
investigating the drouth resisting
plants Of the west for the bureau of
animal industry. DR.. Briggs said the
crops are in better condition than he
looked for. in view of the early reports
sent out, adding:
"We have been visiting the dry
farm experiment stations the govern
ment is conducting. and we found ev-
erv place making progress. At the

The Investigations thus far conducted

IS PROHIBITION 4.
PRACTICAL failure

Both the beer sales and the census
returns are exceeding the estimates.
The preliminary estimate of the total
population of the continental United
States was ninety millions; an increase
of 1874 per cent. From present indi-
cations it now seems possible that the
total may prove to be ninety-three mil
lions, which would show an increase Of
226 per cent in the population since
the 1900 census was taken. Beer sales
for the current fiscal year, which ended
June 80, 1910, were SO, ,485, iii barrola
Of 81 gallons each as compared with
IS, $50, ,848 in 1900. The beer consump-
ton has therefore increased 61.2 per
cent since 1900, while the population
has only increased 22.6 per cent.
The production Of distilled spirits
has also increased in q similar manner.
The distillers paid the revenue tax ON
134 ,572,0l0 gallons Of spirits during
the fiscal year which ended June 30,
1910, as compared with 93, ,301 ,S27 gal
Ions in 1900, being an increase Of 44.9
per cent.
The large increase in the percapita
consumption, both Of beer and spirits,
| is especially remarkable when 1t II
recalled that the ten years under obser-
vation include the long period Of in
dustrial depression between 1907 and
1909, during which time the sales Of
beer and spirits fell OF considerably,
although the decrease was less than in
most other industries. The beer sales
for the past fiscal year which ended
June 80, 1910, show an increase Of s.
1S1 $50 barrels over the previous year.
being 5.65 per cent. This is the largest
volume of business recorded in any one
year in the history Of the brewing trade
in the United States.
The general superintendent OF the
Anti-Saloon League asserted in his re-
cent annual report that forty-one mil
lions of the people in the United States
are now living in prohibition territory.
With the exception of Maine and Kan
sas, which have population Of less
than two and half millions, practical
ily all the alleged prohibition terri
toryo has been gained during the past
ten years. In this period. the consump
tion of alcoholic beverages has increas-
ed about 25 per cent faster than the
total population.
In the light Of these facts, it is per-
tinent to ask, WHO, WHAT and
WHERE does prohibition prohibit, and
by what practical results can prohibi-
tion be justifieds
1t is significant to note that in 1900
there were 1S9, ,0S9 "retail liquor deal
ers' who paid the special tax Of $25
to the federal government. In 1910
their number was 202, 1887, an increase
of IA 5QS or q ner cent

ing in all total disbursement to stock

The decision TO pay third monthly

nation that the announcement of Presi-
lent Pelton, at the time of the declara-
tion of the first, that like packages of
"velvet" money would be distributed
monthly in the future, would be carried
out, are results of the conferences of

the following statement to the Gazette:
81 desire simply to go into those
places where / am not known and give
the people chance to talk with me
and ask me questions; and want to
60 into the places where am known,
so that I can shake hands with my old
friends, whether they are going to
vote for me or not.
~ am making my campaign simply
upon the principles Of the Republican
party. believe in the Republican
party in this state. Here and there
some of us may have differing opin.
ions, but in the long run we are to.
gether, for we still have the beliefs
that made us Republicans when we at
tanned our majority.
.sI shall not attempt to make any
thing in the way Of a spectacular
campaign. / shall assail no man nor
set Of men, for when you come down
to looking at the question fairly ]
don It think any man can say that the
Republicans in this state have been
bossed.' I believe the Republicans OF
this state are too intelligent and too
strong in the courage Of their own con-
victicns to allow somebody else to do
their thinking.
81 shall say nothing but kind words
OF my opponent for the nomination.
All there is to it is that merely as a
loyal member Of the Republican party
| am going to take trip throughout
the state. If the Republicans wish me
to become their candidate I shall accept
the honor gratefully and shall put forth
my best efforts to prove that was,
in some degree at least. worthy of the
monor. IF I do not get the nomination,
/ shall accept my defeat without bitter
ness, and shall still do all can for the
party to which have given my ale

the Charleston Hill Gold Mining COM
pany, through L. G. Wilson, his attor-
ney, filed complaint against j. B.

In the document it is alleged that
some time ago plaintiff entered into
an agreement with the defendant com
pany whereby he was to purchase for
them 100000 shares of the capital
stock Of the mining company, for which
he was to receive one-fourth for
his services, time and expenses. Plant
if further alleges that he purchased
said stock. according to agreement,
but that the defendant company re-
fused, and now refuses, to deliver to
him the $4,000 shares of stock agreed
upon as his compensation.
Yesterday, at Reno, Judge Pike is
sued an order temporarily restraining
Lorge & Co. from voting the stock, and

ant company, at present in Winnemuc-
ca, yesterday morning.
