DfsraelI remarked that the feat was a
mere trick, and in order to prove his

CAD SHOWING IN WET CITIES
Proves That Saloon Business 70 0oid
Brick For Towns That Allow IL 70
ExIst-saIoon 10 not busI-
ness but q Parasite.
[By s. F. Gisssoook.l


1t has been demonstrated many
times that the saloon Is not business,
but a parasite on business; that when
the inventory is taken at the end OF
the year 1t is found not to be a bust
ness, but a gold brick.
Morgantown is a dry" city. In,
September, 1911, her bonded debt was
s137.500.00, and her total assessed
valuation for that year was t13,3S4,
O83.00, and her total tax rate was $3.50
per $1,000.
Fairmont is a "wet" city. and on
April 20, 1912. .her bonded debt was
$4,000, and her assessed valuation
In 1911 was $4,000, Oo7.00. and her
total tax rate per $1,000 was $3.50.
Clarksburg is wet" city. In 1911
her bonded debt was $310,O00.00, and
her assessed valuation for that year
was $14, $500, her tax rate for
municipal affairs was $40 per $1,000.
but do not have her school tax which
was probably not less than $500 per
$1,000, which would make total tar
rate of $40 per $1,000.
Huntington is wet" city, and on
July 1, 1911, her bonded debt was
SS19,0O0.0O and floating debt $2S,741.OO
and her assessed valuation In 1910
was $27,153,242.0O, and her total tai
rate was $3.50 per $1,000.
Parkersburg is wet" city. On
September l, 1910, her total debt was
$545, 100000, and for that year her as
sessed valuation was $30,000,000.00
and her total tax rate for 1910 was
$1,000 per $1,000.
Charleston is wet" city. On Au
gust II, 1911, her bonded debt wa!
1886 700, and for that year her as
sessed valuation was $29,056.0 300
and her total tax rate per $1,000 wal
$1015.
1t will be observed from these stats
tics that on the same assessed yalua
ton the bonded Indebtedness of thu
wet" cities of this state is more thai
double that of dry" city, andkth'
rate of tax on the same assessed
valuation for municipal purposes il
more in the wet than in the dry
city. So if we could make the people
of these wet cities sober for mo
ment they could see that these ga
looms are nothing but gold bricks, ant
that without them they would be tn
gamer a thousand fold in health
wealth happiness.

Las varas, Sonora, July 25.- (By
Courier to Douglas, Ariz., July SO.)-
Suffering haidships akin to those Of
Napoleon and his soldiers N crossing
the Alps, the Mexican federal column
Of General Sanjines has crossed the
Sierra Madres, the Mexican Alps, and
is now within fifty miles Of Casas
Grandes, the rebel capital Of Sonora,
The column left Aqua Prieta, Sonora,
and travelled southeast. 1t is now at
Las Varas on the eastern slope Of the
continental divide.
General Blanco, with 500 federaIs,
is at Ojitos, twenty miles away, on
the ranch owned by Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford, Of England Only
a small detachment Of federals was
left behind by General sanjinee. at
Colonia Oaxaca, with pack trains. All
the federaIs that could be mustered
in northern Sonora efe now here,
ready TO march to Ojitos for mobiliza-
tion and then to advance to Casas
Grandea. the rebel capital.
The e1peatad reinforcements froR
southern soRora br the saHilrs1
command did not materialize.
The advance Of the rebel column
of General Antonio Rojaa into south
ern Sonora through Dolores made It
necessary to retain these troops in
the south. For several days a com
mand Of two hundred rebels has kept
in touch with the federals Of General
saniines' columns apparently feeling
out his strength, Some of the federal
officials believe the rebe'7 are too
strong for the federals and that It
was q mistake for the war depart
ment to send the column into Chihua-
hua without reinforcementr.
The trip over the mountains was
accompanied by many severe hard
ships. TIE two cannon had to be TAX
en- apart and dragged by mules and
at times soldiers had to lift the can
non over rocks in the trail, progress
ing but few feet at time. General
sanjines will not remain here any
longer than necessary TO rest ms
men He will move forward to Casas
Grandes at once.
