A wave of business depression
has spread over the entire coun-
try the past year, and has
affected every town to some ex-
t mt. yet sometimes someone is
heard in a dry town blaming
the trouble on prohibition. The
sawmill at Spirit Lake has been
running light for sometime and
has finally closed, and a "busi-
ness man. goes around, finds
that business has dropped off in
Spirit Lake, bank deposits are
less, etc, and says it is due to
the saloons having been voted
out. Spokane has been exper-
fencing a period Of hard times
due to IA slump in realestate and
has enough vacant houses for.
$4,000 people, but Spokane is
notorious as a saloon town and
the council is troubled continu-
ally with the lawless saloon and
the criminals the saloons are
educating. Prohibition cannot
be blamed there. Then again
high taxes are sometimes spoken
Of and some people are inclined
to believe their taxes are high

Our Duty to Vote.

The following, published in the
Caldwell News 10 July, is pertinent
to Kootenai county at this time:
The right to express our individual
will on questions OF public importance
and welfare is one which is not suf.
flciently priced by vast mum bers of our
people.
Here duty goes hand with privilege,
for II we, the people, have power to
set aside the existing laws or set in
oper ration new ones, IL is clearly a
responsibility aud duty to exercise
that power.
Now, II we are given the power Of
the legislature 10 any particular it is
clearly our duty to exercise it as
though we occupied a seat 10 Boise or
Washington, aud failure to do so
makes US as guilty of wrong as that
senator who does not do his duty.
The opportunity to cast our vote ia
favor or 10 opposition to local option
Is soon to be ours.
All the foregoing simply means,
when sifted, that it is the duty of
every man and woman. first, to cast
their, vote at the coming election;
second, to cast it unselfishly; third, to
cast 1t in the interests of advance
and for the higher welfare of the
people.
l do not here question any mans
eight to the moderate use Of LIQUOR.
That Is a matter for the individual
conscience. There are men Of char.
acter and will power, men Of influence,
highly respected citizens, who use
liquor In this way. There have been
hundreds Of other men, following the
example of such you and l have
known themD men who had more than
average intelligence and ability, and
who for years of their lives, perhaps,
served their community well, ia some
useful occupation, but who eventually
fell victims to the drink habit. When
such men fall the community snffers
q calamity, for the progress and ad-
vancement of the world is retarded Nv
virtue Of the loss of every such an
ones effort.
Who can estimate what the VIZ rld's
loss has been on account of the IN
controlled and uncomfortable appetite
for liquor.
/ do not here condemn llquor itself
as entirely bad. 1t may have medical
value. But the saloon as an institu.
tion We must condemn. We know
that it has been responsible for the
tall OF many man and for an endless
list Of Grim. and suffering.
Let US take our conscience to the
polls and vote (every vote) not for
doancial gain or any selfish end pure
ly but primarily for the advance.

Face Filled With Glass,

Wessington.-A peculiar accident
occurred at the l. X. Brown residence
ten miles northwest Of this town.
Clark Brown was taking the cartridges
from the magazine of a rifle, standing
in the doorway of the barn about $50
feet northwest of the house, when in
some manner one of the shells was dis
charged. A large pane Of glass in one
of the west windows of the house was
shattered to bits. A little girl about a
year and a half old was standing in
front of the window and received the
shower of pulverized glass, hundreds
of the little fine particles perforating
the skin of her face, causing the blood
to flow freely. One piece entered the
aye, but the physician WHO was imme-
diately summoned succeeded in remov-
ing it. No one can explain how the
glass was pulterized so fine and no
trace could be found of the bullet eth
er in the room or the window Eashing.
The glass was so fine that the carpet
had to be taken up from the room and
shaken to get it out. The little girls
underclothing was full of the powder
ed glass. The child's injuries, howev-
er, have proven to be only slight and
10 serious results are anticipated.

Profit Ia Alfalfa.

Deadwood.-Those who believe that
last summers drought left western
South Dakota a great desert from
which all who could fed, should see
the many instances of individual pros
perity among the ranchers that are
now being reported. Among the latest
to come to light are three Meade coun-
ty %ranchers, who reside north of New
Underwood. They all raised alfalfa,
which they permitted to go to seed and
which they have just now sold to
Northrup, King & Co., of Minneapolis.

gated alfalfa, from which he threshed
325 bushels of seed, for which he re-
ceived $3,131.52. He still has 500
pounds of seed left and has so tons OF
hay and straw valued at $40 per ton.
E. B. Miller, another rancher in that
vicinity, received ~S1,26S.93 for seed
from 25 acres of alfalfa, and besides
this shipped to the same firm in Min
.neapolis 65 bushels of seed for which
he got $3.50 per bushel. This latter
was taken from another Is acres.
l.. B. Judson only planted ten acres
of alfalfa, but he received $354.79 and

of nine different crafts are threatened
with a costly legal suit following the
interruption in traffic on the Illinois
Central railroad, the rioting at Nc

ton Of valuable records by clerks
prior to going on strike.
Following the riot, agents of the
company began the collection Of evil
dence to be used In the prosecutions
of strikers under the Sherman anti
trust act. Evidence is also being
sought against striking railway clerks
who are charged with destroying way
bills and shipping orders at the Mem
phts and New Orleans Offices of the
company before they yer on strike.
Because of the fear of further riots
at McComb City, Governor Noel sent
more troops to that city. The strike
breakers at their request were taken
to another city. McComb City is prac-
tically under MARTA. law
Six strike-breakers are now known
to have been seriously hurt, one Of
them, named Haines, fatally, in the

breakers were passing through on a
train and 1000 shots were fired into
the cars. Lee Haley, a striker, was

from many points were said to be en-
couraging. 1t vas said that no men
had returned to work IN the Illinois
Central and none on he Hartman

the freight handlers. In an interview
in st. Paul he said:
I'VE have al agreement with the
railroads until May. 1912. There is
absolutely no reason for our going out
in a sympathy strike with the railroad
shopmen. Furthermore, we will not.
The s~witchmen, maintenance OF
way men and the t~elegraphers, who
are also affiliated with the railroad de-
partment of the American Federation
of Labor, have taken the same stand
