YEARLY REPORT
ON LIQUORS
Last Twelve Months Broke all Rec
ords in the Amount
Consumed.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 24.-In the
last twelve months the consumption
of liquors broke all records, and the
people of the United States consum-
ed over 100000 gallons more of
whiskey and over 113,0oo,0o0 gallons
more of beer in the fiscal year end
ing June So 1911, than they did in
the fiscal year ending June so, 1910,
is the announcement of the National
Model License League, which has just
received the official figures from R.
e. Cabell, u. S. commissioner of
internal revenue.
The total consumption of distilled
spirits for the year just closed was
134, 600,193 gallons as compared with
consumption Of 126,3S4,726 gallons
in the previous year.
The total consumption of beer for
the fiscal year of 1911 was 6S,216,S51
barrels or 1,959,722,3S1 gallons as
compared with 59,544,7T5 barrels or
1,S45,SSs,025 gallons for 1910.
The combined increases is 121,049,-
1928 gallons which represents an in
crease of 1.S gallons per capita, using
census figures. The total per capita
consumption is now 1929 gallons.
The highest previous consumption
of distilled spirits was for the year
1907. The slump that followed that
year continued until 1909 and then
took an upward turn to the present
apex
Following the receipt of the com.
missioner's telegram, 7. M. Gilmore,
president of the National Model
License League, issued the following
statement:
THE commissioners figures consti-
tute a terrific indictment of the pro-
hibition movement as failure and a
farce. The movement that has spread
prohibition over more than one-half OF
the man began in 1893 At that time
the per capita consumption of liquor
was about 1914 gallons. and now after
al, the whitening of the map by the
Anti.Saloon league 1t Is 22.29 gal
Ions. If the prohibition movement
had not been checked in the past few
months it would be difficult to put an
estimate on the increase that would
have been caused by adding to the
territory in which people buy IN
wholesale lots and consume accord
ingly.
IAN increase in the amount OF LID
nor consumed in license territory may
mean nothing more than BUSINESS
prosperity and an increase in temper
ate drinking. but an increase in the
consumption Of liquors in dry terri
try must be interpreted as an IN
crease in lawlessness and intemper
ance."

BURLINGTON. Iowa, Aug. "a
Special correspondence The general
public is beginning to take interest
in the danger OF overlooking and de
stroying over 5000 acres of land be
tween this city and Fort Madison
Just when conservation of natural re-
sources Is to the fore, and much mon.
ey is being spent to reclaim similar
size tracts of land in the west, comes
what seems to be a project to destroy
forever ten square miles of rich
farming land. which might as well be
saved. 1t Is felt that the business
men OF Fort Madison and Burlington

The company building the water
power dam at Keokuk expresses a
desire to save this land in what is
known as Green Bay, if the farm
owners will meet 1t on equitable terms
The company proposes that district

serving the latter and greatly increas.
ing its present value. Under the Iowa
law each forty acres will pay the
beEefit assessed to it as its share
of the cost of the levee and before
work can begin, it must be proved that
the benefits exceed the damages
that the project is feasible and a
profitable one. After this has been
done, the water power company offers
to pay half the cost of the project
which means half the cost to each
farmer.
The farm owners are not Selling
this offer as quickly as was to be ex-
pected There is good deal of talk
to the effect that the water power
company will build the dyke, anyhow,
at its own expense, if the farmers lie
dormant. But the company say very
emphatically that they will do no
such thing, and if the farmers decline
the proposition t, dyke the river with
the company paying half the cost, the
.cn1bany will overflow the land and
pay whatever damages accrue to the
land owners. Men unusually well in
formed in the past on water power
