ton of the Washington State Anti-Saloon League
will be under suspicion after June 80, according to
the statement issued by l.. R. Horton of the league.
After that date; when the government licenses
now in effect become null and void, list of all
procuring them from the internal revenue office
will be secured and any depression will be
"heralded' in pamphlets This is the latest
planned move of the anti-saloon league in its fight
against BOOZE
There are any number of revenue licenses held
by men in dry territory at present" said L. r.
Horton, which will be out of effect June 80. "A
man holding one will be justly under suspicioneif if
it is renewed, and we will watch him upon the
theory that he did not pay Uncle Sam $25 for the
privilege of selling ham and eggs. We will go the
internal revenue Office in this district and get the
names of all holding licenses, and will know there
is something wrong, unless they have gilt-edge
right to dispense rum and such''
It is alleged that one of the schemes to get
around the enforcement of the local option law in
some dry" territory is the revenue stamp and
the anti-saoon league aims to stop the game
Under the local option law, a man who holds a
government license is not guilty, but under sus-
picon. The dry forces, it is said, will take it
upon themselves to watch those holding revenue
licenses and prosecute in case of violation.
Immediate statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico" another republican promise, lies ne
elected and alone in the senate committee on ter
ritories. And congress is about ready to close up
shop!
Eight hundred men, including 300 Indians from
the Flathead, Nez Perce Occur 'Alene, Spokane,
Yakima, Colville and Umatilla reservations, and
$50 horses will participate in the mimic battle of
the Clearwater between Chief Joseph and his
braves and Brigader General O. O. Howard and
the United States soldiers at the Spokane Inter-
state Fair and international Dry Farming Exposi
ton in Spokane, Oct. 3 to g. The spectacle will
be put on in the infeld of the race track every
evening during the week.
General Howard's thrilling description of the
battle has been taken as the basis for the en-
counter and the various scenes from the prepara-
ton of the morning meal in the Indian camp to
the victory of the sodiery will be reenacted by
trained people and horses. This will include Cap
tain Millers spectacular charge the taking of the
commissary and spring by the redmen and the
final attack which resulted in the retreat and cap
ture of the Indians.
France seems to be slowly accumulating all the
gold in the world On Dec. 81 of last year the
Bank of France had in it's cellars in bars and coin
$697 400, 600 in gold. During the summer months
of last year it's stock of gold reached the record
figure of $742, 100000.
At So per- the great cable lines were kept busy
one day last week with the astounding news that
Former President Roosevelt stood before the tomb
of Napoleon silent" Now isn't that funny? What
on earth did those Frenchmen think our former
president was going to do? Did they suppose
that he was going to don sheepskin chaps sombrero
and do war dance beside the tomb of the great
Napoleon? Did they think for minute that he was
going to strip to the buff and do stunt in saber
practice, or punch the bag while wasting few
minutes looking on the great red marble pile which
holds down that wonderful genius of Corsica and
France?
Maybe they thought that Roosevelt was going to
sing the Watch on the Rhine" or God Save the
King" or possibly America" Maybe they
thought he was going to speak into the unhearing
ears of the general whose career he is said to emu
Indeed, it is hard to guess what the French
thought Roosevelt would do when he gazed on the
tomb of Napoleon, upon which, however he has
presumably gazed many times before, because
this is not Mr.. Roosevelt's first trip abroad. The
fact that Roosevelt was Silent is the pith of the
$28 sentence, because the records would seem to
show that Former President Roosevelt has not
been silent much of the time since he landed in
Europe.-Ex.
