pitch him among the runaway mules
He took advantage of his only chance
for escape by catching the branch o
an oak tree, The mules ran fol

$1,000 a month To find out the
leaks Mr. Dowler has installed test

his precious gas is going to waste.

LIQUOR LICENSES
ARE SUBJECT TO
CENSORSHIP
NEW LAW REQUIRES THAT Ap
PLlcANTs FOR SALOON PRIV.
lLEeEs BE APPROVED.

Under the new law passed by the
last session of the legislature all
applications for licenses must first
go to the board Of county commits
sioners sitting as liquor board be-
fore they are issued.
This action is for the purpose OF
wedding out disreputable characters
who engage in the business and con.
duct places that are not up to the
requirements of police regulations.
Formerly it was the practice for any
one wishing to start saloon to take
out license without regard to the
character of himself or the place he
proposed to open and the commits
sioners had no power to refuse the
application. Hereafter it will be
necessary for every one whether
they are opening a new place or
have been running saloon before to
go through the formality of getting
a permit

NATIONAL coLoRS WOULD
MAKE PARADE MoNoToNous

To the Editor of the Bonanza -
Having noticed the lette. addressed
to you signed AN American" and
realizing the injustice of his remarks,
the committee takes occasion to point
out to aim that the prizes were Of
fered to the best decorated float,
gocart, and auto; that there was
nothing said about restricting the
decoration to red, white and blue,
and if the judges had seen fit to
restrict the prizes to those who had
used the national colors almost the
entire line of the parade would have
been disqualified We call attention
to the fact that the Peace float, the
Woman's club float, the Suffrage
auto, the Minuet float, the Brownie
float. and many others were decor
ated in other colors than the ma
tional Would he disqualify these
and reduce the parade to a display
which would be undoubtedly monot
onous, however much we may love
our national colors?
The committee is inclined to thinl
that our friend, the knocker, whom
we cordially invited to go to Gold
field took occasion to come back
and as usual, went off half cooked
This Fourth has been unique in it
spirit of good will and cooperation
and the committee feels in dut
bound to come forward and defen
those who helped to make the dis
play so brilliant, and assure every
body that there was no distinctio
made by the judges as to color 0
arrangement. The prizes were aware
ed fairly to the floats, etc, tina
made the best showing. 1t was
contest open to all, and this commi
tee wishes to inform the public ths
1t stands by the decisions of il
judges.
