 MT. Editor: I recently received from some friend the appended let ter, which no doubt will be clearly understood by your readers:
 DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT? A remarkable state of affairs has been revealed at one point in Aus tralia, where no license prevails. The customs and excise returns for July, 1909, indicated that the con sumption of liquor is increasing, the quantity of local beer being 200 gallons in excess of July, 1908, while the duty on imported liquors increased by nearly 1,OOO-- Alas, alas! my brethren. all
 What sad news have we here? A large and bitter tear let fall New Zelaland's lon the beer" Though prohibition Is the rule They seek to bring about. Throughout the land some fortune Knocks prohibition out! At Invercargil in the South,
 Where abstinance prevails,  And where you think there would
 be drouth
 They're swamping beer in pails. They brought in strong no license Just one short year ago; Anticipating everywhere
 That beer would cease to flow. Yet month by month the output
 grows
 Of foa aming beer and brown, Though no one knows just where it goes,
 Except that it goes down. The more they cry, Prohibit beer" The more the people drink; Here's something very, very queer To make the people think. If prohibition spreads much more Throughout those isa nds fair, The fate of brewers kept in store
 Will be-they're millionairs. While all the populace will haste,
 If figures do not lie,) To see, to touch, to taste
 For beer the babies will cry! It seems quite clear they'll have to
 take
 Another tack-say cease To howl "restrict" and let folks take The beer they like in peace.
 1 have been very busy this week but when all the facts are gathered will very likely have something tc say of a personal nature. but a, present 1 do not think that youl readers care about my personal af fairs. l think they are more inte rested in the business welfare O. their town. Yours.

Town Council Meeting

The town council met in regular session last Tuesday evening and aside from the regular routine busi- ness transacted. received a report from Marshal Patterson of license money collected and licences issued.
 In the report it was stated that certain cigar dealers had refused to pay the license they had heretofore been paying. The city attorney's opinion was asked and he stated that the town had no ordinance licensing cigar stands and that such an ordinance would be in- valid, so that in the future all cigar dealers will be exempt from license.
Williams news., 1910-04-09

The buildings being erected will accom- modate 15O men. There are several temporary tent camps at Flagstaff. Maine and other places, but this camp is to be of more permanent frame con struction, as they will be located here for some time.

SUFFICIENTLY PUNISHED
No Further Penalties for Sailors Who
Engaged in Norfolk Race Troubles.

Washington, Aug. 1s-The Navy Depart
nsnt IS satisfied with the punishment Wis
tied on the ten or twelve sailors who were
arrested and punished in the city courts
Of Norfolk, Va, for taking part in the
race troubles on July /, following the
Jeffries-Johnson fight. This decision was
reached to-day by Mr.. winthrop acting
Secretary, when he received the report
Of Rear Admiral Marshall commanding
the Norfolk Navy Yard, who had been
asked hy the Secretary to report on
protest from ". H. Ellis Of New York.
against what he had termed an unprovoked
attack by marines on negroes.
The report showed that no marines had
taken part in the fight. their only rela-
ton to the disorder being their attempt,
together with some bluejackets. to quell
the trouble, which had arisen between
other bluejackets and negroes. From the
report Secretary Winthrop was convinced
that the local authorities had dealt justly
and sufficiently with the situation.
