Much Drunkenness.

The Grand Junction Sentinel. an
ardent supporter of the dry movement
In Grand Junction. in It's issue ~ last

pcrien~ed In keeping bookkeeping down

The Sentinel gives the following in
terview from prominent business
man.
Il notice the sentincrs editorial

Bookkeeping II as fragrant In Grand
junction as II has been at any period
In several years have no doubt
that this IL true. There n lot OF
liquor being sold. but | want TO say
right now-and there In plenty Of
proof TO back my charge-that at
least half the drunkenness that Il 20
noticeable in our city today is due TO
the Jamaica Ginger. Hostetter's Bit
ters and other bitters and ginger that
are bling sold by drug stores and other
storps IN Grand Junction TO all who
care TO buy.
"Of course this stuff In not sold in
violation Of the law, as II II not brand
ed as liquor OF an intoxicating nature
and In classed as medicine. sauces,
etc. hut nevertheless n man doesn't
need 20 patronize bootlcggcr In
Grand Junction In order Co get on a
drunk. Daily &C. ,res of little bottles
81 jamaica Ginger. containing from
81 To- 90 per cent alcohol are being
purchased In this city. These bottles
retail all the way from Is cents up.
A man will buy bottle 81 this stuff.
then go Co a soft drink establishment

ness man.
The same can be said of lot 81
prepared bittcrH that are easily pur-
chased and are mainly made up Of
alcohol"
This business man and others have
pointed out the Sentinel states great
quantities Of empty Jamaica Ginger
bottles that had been cmpticd by
their purchasers. They declare that
every day big quantities of these bot
ties are picked up and many witnesses
testify to seeing men frequently mis-
Jamaica Ginger with cider and other
soft drinks However. lots Of those
who buy the ginger and bittcrs drink

In getting ON bcastly drunk aH re-
suit.

Appeal to Washington

FL PASO. Jan. 6. - Fearful that General Villa would carry out his threat to deal sumamrily with Span iards should they be captured in the rebel attack on Torreon. agents of threat to deal summarily with Span ish minister at Washington, recom- mending that their countrymen be urged to leave Torreon before the bat tie begins. Spanish refugees. who were driven out of Chihuahua after much of their property had been con fiscated by Villa, are anxious that the several hundred Spaniards in Tor reon leave at once for Monterey or for the United States.
 General Villas assertion that he would execute the Spaniards who, he says, had taken up arms Tn support of the federals, is accepted as warn ing for them to leave the country while they have the chance.
 Under an order from Washington releasing munitions of war seized be- fore the lifting of the embargo, rebel leaders asked that 1,000,000 rounds of ammunition and one field gun, held at Fl 1dSO, Dt lul lieu oNti Sc tiiNii''
 Orders, including one for 1,lOO,00o rounds and seven millimeter ammunl- ton rifles of standard make, were placed with manufacturers in the United States. The rebels decided 10 buy guns like those used in the fed eral army, they say, so they can util- ize ammunition captured from the federals
 With the main rebel army at Es- calon. about 100 miles north of Tor reon. and federals in the vicinity o1 Torreon. the relative position Of the opposing forces is unchanged. The rebels. however, continue to send horses. feed and provisions south ward to be distributed at various points along the Mexican Nationa railway.

JUAREZ, Feb G. Aroused to a 1 high pitch of anger at the capture of American railroad officials by Max l imo Castillos bandits. the burning of l a passenger train and the wrecking of l the big Cumbre tunnel, posses are being formed in the Guerrero district 1 to assist the rebels in running down 1 the band. Railroad employees and men 1 from the Madeira Lumber company are said to be among those who have vol | unteered to assist in the hunt. l In previous exploits of the kind ! Castillo treated passengers generally with great consideration, but when | the telegraph wire from Madeira was
 restored today the railroad officials there threw doubt on the rumor Nevertheless, news from F. J. Clark superintendent of the Chihuahua di vision of the road, who left for Ma dera to investigate, is eagerly awaited. 1 The railroad from Eagle Pass to | the City of Mexico, via Torreon, where the next big battle of the revolution
 is expected to take place, was re- ported open today.
 From Madeira a rumor. which is | generally discredited. is that when the passenger train was sent crashing into the burning tunnel, the passen- l gers. including Americans, were
 locked inside the cars, and perished. Information received at railroad i headquarters today corrects last
 nights statement that it was the | Drake tunnel which is of smaller
 bore, that was destroyed. The Cum
 bre tunnel is the largest on the road
 and is 3700 feet long.
 General Villa, at Chihuahua, was
 so enraged at the news that he tele- graphed General Felipe Macias, who is operating in the Casas Grandes dis I trict. to shoot every man who could I not give a satisfactory account of his presence.
 The names of the Americans who are believed to have perished are M.
 J. Gilmartin, superintendent of the
 railroad; H. Schoefield superintendent
 of terminals at Juarez; Lee Williams, assistant manager of the railway
 commissary: E. j. McCutcheon. en- gineer; J. E. Webster, conductor, and H. F. Mardens, express agent. The seventh American is believed to have been a passenger on the train. Amer jeans were also employed on the
 freight train which was used to fire the tunnel. The bandits are believed
 to be operating in two bands of about
 thirty each.

 WASHINGTON, Feb GA confer ence of the governors of the arid states for a general discussion of the recla- nation problem will probably be called in the near future. Secretary Lane of the interior department, wrote today to the governors of eleven western states asking when and where such a con- ference should be held.
 The secretary in his letter referred particularly to projects that have been entirely in private hands. Comment ing apparently on the unsatisfactory financial returns from most projects, he said:
 Tt appears, therefore, that no fur ther large development may now be expected unless by the use of public fnuds of a state government or the funds raised by taxation.

Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Northern Texas Are Worst Hit for Present and Live Stock is Much Endangered
IAssoCIArEp PRESS pIsPATcHl

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 6.-EXtremely lew temperatures will follow in the wake of the wintry blast that today gave the southwest the coldest eather of the season, was the prediction of the local weather bu Ieau tonight Reaching mark slightly under zero tonight, ther- mometers in most of Missouri and Kansas, are expected to go to eight or ten below zero by morning.
 All day Missouri. Kansas, Oklaho ma and northern Texas were in the grasp of the worst storm in two years. A northwest wind that reached 35 miles an hour added se verity to the blizzard. Clearing skies tonight gave some relief from the cutting sleet that fell most of the day. but the bitter freezing wind continued the suffering there.
 In some localities fuel and other supplies are short. Live stock will suffer. it is said. because the open winter caused the stockmen to delay building a shelter that will last through a protracted storm.
