PROHIBITION IS
 BUILDING UP KANSAS STATE
WICHITA ADVANCE EXPLAINS HOW CONDITIONS HAVE
 BEEN lMPROVl

Kansas has no saloons, says The Wichita Advance. Young men can 20 to their work and return homo without having the constant tempta- ton to drop in and have a drink Money that would be spent for liquor under other conditions, is now taken home to wife and family.
 When our farmers come in to town from the country to pass a day with the city boys, they are not enticed by the smell of beer or whiskey as they pass along the streets. Old timers can get liquor in the larger centers, where illicit selling goes on, but not in small towns. As result. the average farmer goes back home as sober as he came.
 If prohibition were submitted to the people of Kansas tomorrow. it would win out fifty to one. There is not one woman in a hundred who would vote against it-and women vote on all state questions in Kan sas.
 As a direct result of prohibition Kansas has s200,000 900 in banks and S67, ,000 900 in mortgages in other states. Ii has $500 per family in banks, $750 per family in live stock. In Kansas there are S7 counties without any insane, 54 counties with out any Predetermined, 96 counties without any inebriates, 3S counties without any poor houses. 53 cOun- ties without any persons in jail and 65 counties without a representative in the state penitentiary
 Wichita is the second large city in Kansas. The editor of the Ad- vance has a parish in the stock yards district and almost every one of his men parishoners is day laborer. Yet there is not a single drunkard in this parish, nor Is there a young man who even occasionally tipples. The temptation is lacking Conditions very similar prevail throughout the state.
 Prohibition gives rise to blind tigers, speak -easies and illegal liquor selling. That is true. But it is so much harder and so much more dis graceful to get drink under these conditions, that 90 per cent of the growing generation escape the stain of drunkenness.
 If any further proof of the effects of prohibition were needed, we might 7ay that Kansas, with Catholic population of 130,700, has 122 paro- chial schools Rhode Island whose Catholic population totals 270,O00 has 36 parochial schools, while tfe 40 900 Catholics of California count S5 schools

notifications to it. It Is to become effective June 20, 1915.
 Among the changes in the new ordinance is one which provides for a reduction in the rental of extension telephones. The present rental price IS S5 a month, but the new sched- ule provides for a reduction to half that amount. The council, however, seems opposed to that, and may ask tor d still further reduction.
 For business telephones a month ly rental of S15 is provided, but two parties may be put on one line. or residence telephone rental of S5 month can be charged, but not more than five parties can be put on line The present ordinances pro- yides for a rental price of S20 a month for business telephones.
 It is provided that after the tele- phone company gets 800 patrons, the rates may be fixed each year, some time in the month of May This is 10 be done by the council ap- pointing one man, the company an other and the two thus selected ap- pointing a third, and these will fix
 le rates which must be accepted by both the city and the company.
 To give the company a chance to meet competition, it is provided that the city may grant a telephone fran chise by ordinance to any other com pany, but that this cannot become effective within IS months after it is passed by the council.
 The provisions will be considered at some length again before the final vote on the ordinance is taken.

strong paystreak as far as the Aitken & McKinnon drill has worked down stream from where they were i open cutting last summer, according 10 private letter received from Takotna, says the Ruby Record Citizen. The opencut work is at timber line, near the head of the
 creek. There the paystreak is 15O feet wide and only eight feet deep. The drill has followed the pay down stream for mile and a half to where it is from 26 to 54 feet deep nd 4S0 feet wide and runs into the left-limit benches
 The drill shows s7 to the square foot all along the left-limit rim, tapering to 50 cents to the square foot on the extreme right limit of the paystreak. The creek increases in depth in proceeding down stream until a depth of 80 feet has been demonstrated
 Thawed ground in places consti- tutes an obstacle in the deeper DOT tion; nevertheless several lays have been let on the lower part of the creek and the laymen are now busy sinking. This winters work will give line on the lower portion of the creek.
 Candle is tributary of the Tata- lena, which in turn is tributary of the Takotna. This is the first real, bona-fide paystreak found and dem Onstrated on the Kuskokwim river Aitken X McKinnon worked crew of twenty-two men all last season and will work more the next pro- viding supplies can be obtained at 8 reasonable price.

General Mining News
Good ShoWinu Made

Good Showing Made.
 That the Slate creek diggings are still producers is evidenced by the shipment on the Alameda yesterday of S30000 in gold dust from the claim owned by Jack Miller on Slate creek.
 MT. Miller stated that the season had been very favorable for all op- orators on the creek this year. as they had an abundance of water. Much dead work had been done this summer and the outlook for next year was very promising. Most of the gold shipped yesterday came from the Miller Gulch claim, which has produced to date about half a million dollars-Valdez Miner Goes After Capital
 Senator B. F. Willard, of Valdez passed through town last evening on the steamer Mariposa for Seattle to attend to the purchase of machinery for the different mining properties in which he is interested Mir. Mil lard will also interest capital in the new claims which he has under bond and intends to prospect to as certain the value.
 The senator states that the re- norts of hard times in the United States will not deter him; that there is plenty of money idle in the banks seeking investment provided the in- vestment is certain and of that he is confident as the properties he has under bond are all exceptionally promising Times

Dan Morgan wants to know why Freddie Welsh doesn't give Jack Britton a chance. Dan says he is tired of having Welsh running about the country meeting second raters.
