Denver, Dec. 7.-Denver must be-
come dry" on Jan. L. according to
the ruling OF the Supreme Court in
its decision in the home rule liquor
case rendered Monday morning.
The decision was rendered en- banc
by the court, the opinion having been
written by Chief Justice Gabbert
The court held that the Denver
charter. drawn under provisions of the
twentieth, or home rule, amendment
to the state constitution. does not
serve to exempt this city from the
scope of the statewide prohibition
amendment adopted by vote of the
people Nov. 3, 1914. and the prohibi-
tion-enforcement statute passed by the
Legislature last winter in conformity.
The case was taken to the Supreme
Court by agreement between the at
torney general and the city attorney
to determine the legality of the ac-
tion of the Denver city council In
granting liquor licenses extending be-
yond Jan. L, 1916, when the statewide
prohibition amendment becomes effec
tive
The city council granted the II
censes in accordance with the amend
ment to the city charter adopted al

known as the home-rule for liquor
amendment Upon petition of the at.
torney general and city attorney the
Supreme Court in September agreed
to take original jurisdiction in the
case on the ground that the issue In
volved was of great public interest
and should be determined before the
first of the year.
A writ of certiorari was issued by
the court directing the city to show
cause why it should not be ordered to
cancel the liquor licenses issued by 1t
and extending beyond that date.
The contention of the attorneys fo-
the city was that the home rule
amendment to the constitution givcs
Denver and other cities similarly or
ganized exclusive right to regulate
their local and municipal affairs. This
right was not abridged or repealed
with regard to the regulation of the
liquor traffic by the prohibition amend.
ment, 1t was contended.
The state took the position that the
regulation of the sale of liquor is a
police power and that the exercise of
police power is vested within the state
alone and cannot be delegated to any
unit of government within the state.
Such right as that claimed by Den
yer. the states attorneys argued
would be recognizing the authority OF
state within the state, which is pro
hibited by the, federal constitution.
1t was also contended by the state
/ that the repeating clause of the pro
hibition amendment repealed anything

GREAT DUST CLOUD IN ALASKA

As We approached Kodiak, strange dark clouds were seen obscuring the horizon at several points and one so heavy and black that it resembIed smoke from a great forest fire. Cap tain Jensen startled us by explaining that this was dust blown by the stiff breezes from the lofty hills all about us These hills seemed covered with snow, but the whitish deposit proved to be ashes rained down several feet deep upon all this section during the eruption of Mount Katmai in June, 1912. Katmai is still smoking.
 The sun looked like dull silver dollar IS it shone through the ashv mist The dust cloud was so thick that it held our steamer up for four hours until the way was clear. Pass ing your hand over the rail of the boat you found your fingers streaked with the impalpable gray powder. When we landed at Kodiak we found piles of soft gray ashes and large and small pieces of light. friable stone like pumice. stone. which had been thrown out by the volcano.
 United States Marshal F. R. Bren- herman of Valdez. who was fellow passenger with me. says the explosion of the volcano was heard at that place four hundred miles away from Kodiak. and sounded like a cannonading It was followed by a deposit of fine ashes in Valdez.-John A. SIeicher in Leslie's Weekly.

UNQUEsT|0NED STABILITY
 OF MOTOR CAR INDUSTRY

s Ever since the automobile industry became one of the leading factors in the commercial world, predictions have been made that a reaction would take place. Those prognosticators who had it all figured out that the turning point would come in 1914 or 1915 were as near to the truth as the positive individual who said the war could not last after June.
 According to John N Willys presi- dent of the Willys- Overland company, the stability of the industry is great CT today than at any time since it's inception.
 Any suggestions that the growth of the automobile business is only tenn torary,' says MT. Willys lis not taken seriously by sane thinking people who have watched it's growth and develop ment during the past fifteen years. Twice during that time it has passed through national panics without even faltering and is perhaps the only big industry that has never received a serious setback.
 The demand for cars is greater today than ever before in the history of the business. This year the Over land plant will produce approximately 10000 cars which is more than double the output of last season. Although we are shipping on an average of 500 cars a day the factory finds it neces- sary to work overtime in order to keep pace with the orders that are pouring in
