AN0kA
VOTES OUT
SALOONS

Anoka, MINI, Feb. 11.--Ten saloons
in Anoka are soon to be wiped out by
the force of public sentiment express
ed through the ballot box.
At a special election Tuesday the
people voted in favor of an ordinance
by which no license TO sell Intoxicating
liquors can be issued or renewed after
April l unless the applicant can pro-
duce petition signed by majority OF
the voters in the city asking and de-
mandtng that the city commissioners
issue such.
This means that after the expiration
of the present licenses in June, no new
license can be issued, as 1t Is generally
conceded no one can secure such a PEI
tition.
But, as further step in banishing
the saloons, as soon as possible the
question will be brought up again at
the regular spring election in April,
and the Indications are that the direct
dry" proposition will carry then by an
even larger majority than the prelim-
mary question, which carried by the
handsome majority of ISL votes receiv-
ed. Inasmuch as the ten saloon licens--
es expire on June 80 and application
for renewal cannot be made until after
April 1, the dry forces feel that the
victory is complete and that only the
counting of the ballots In April is
needed to decide the question

FRENCH LAUNDRY CUTTED
BY FLAMES LAST MONDAY
v. Artaxet suffers Heavy Loss by
Fire. the Origin of which is
Mystery.

For the second time in week
: Fallon has been visited by a disas-
trous fire. An alarm of fire sound
ed shortly after 10 O'Clock last Mon
day morning gave warning that the
French laundry was in flames. The
volunteer department was at the
scene in record time and quickly had
two streams playing on. the fire
which was In the wash room of the
plant. The flames had gained con-
siderable headway and only prompt
action prevented the loss of the resi-
dence of Mr.. Artaxet which adjoins
the laundry separated by ten foot
alley. The building was frame
structure, partly covered by a tin
roof. which served to confne the
ire to the interior and notwithstand
ing the promptitude of the voluntee
firemen and the intelligent hand
ling of the department under the di
rection of George Spreyer, the wasl
room, sorting room and ironini
room were practically gutted before
the flames could be subdued. The
building is practically total loss
walls being charred nearly through
The heaviest loss. however, is In the
machinery and equipment, which
will have to be replaced. as much OF
ii is probably warped and ruined b,
the heat. The insurance amount
to $1,000. Mr.. Artaxet has made
no estimate of the damages, but II
will unquestionably be double thu
amount of the insurance carried
The origin of the fire is a mystery
When first discovered by Mrs. Ar
taxet. who had left the building a
few minutes before to attend to
household duties in the adjoining
residence, the fire was confined to the
wash room There was fire in the
boiler, but the roof and surround
ing give evidence that II did not orig
mate from this source as the flames
we're first seen In the corner farthest
removed from the furnace and Chin
ney. The theory that II was caused
by defective wire is untenable for
the reason that the motor was not
running and the fuse plugs show no
evidence of a short in the circuit
when exafMned by City Engineer
Crehore.
During a residence of six years In
in Fallon, Mr.. and Mrs. Artaxet. by
close attention to business and good
service, have established a substan-
tial business and made them many
friends who will sympathize with
them in their loss.
