STATEWIDE BILL
 SIGNED BY HAYS PROHIBITION IN EFFECT
CAPITAL CITY SALOONS, u CENSED FOR YEAR, HAVE A
 CLOSE CALL.
Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.

Little Rock, Feb. 6.-Forty-six min- utes before Governor Hays signed the Newberry statewide prohibition bill winch would have shut off the issu- ance of license to any liquor dealer in this state, County Judge Joe Asher declared the Little Rock liquor peti- tons to contain d majority of the white adults and granted license to all applicants for saloons in that city,
 The county judges ruling was made at 1929 a. m. The Newberry bill, which had its third reading and final passage in the house this morn- Ing, following concurrence in the sen ate amendment yesterday, received the signature of Governor Hays at IS a. m.
 It was not generally known until today that the Newberry bill would preclude the issuance of licenses not already granted for the year 1915, besides, of course, making it unlaw- ful to sell liquor anywhere in the state after 1915. When the discov- cry was made, liquor men of Little Rock were almost thrown in a panic, but by hastening the hearing of their petitions before Judge Asher, the li- censes were issued less than an hour before the Newberry bill became a law.
 The full text of the Newberry act follows:
 ''Section 1. It shall hereafter be unlawful for any county judge, town or city council, or any representative thereof, to issue license or any other authority to any corporation, person or persons, to manufacture, sell, bar ter or give away any alcoholic, vinous, malt, spurious or fermented liquors or any compound or preparation thereof commonly called tonics, bitters or medicated liquors within the state of Arkansas, and all such licenses o1 authority heretofore issued are hereby declared to be null and void on and after January 1, 1916.
 Sec. 2 After January 1, 1916, it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to manufacture, sell or give away or be interested, directly or indirectly in the manufacture, sale, ol giving away of any alcoholic, vinous malt, spurious, or fermented liquors or any compound or preparation thereof, commonly called tonics, bit. ters, or medicated liquors within the state of Arkansas.
 Sec. 3. Any person, firm or cor poration, who shall violate any of the provisions of this act shall be guilty o1 felony and upon conviction shall be imprisoned in the state penitentiary for a period of one year. No court shall suspend sentence or permit 2 plea of guilty to be entered and con tinue the cause for a second offense of the provisions of this act.
 "Sec. 4. All parts of laws provid ing for the issuance of liquor license in the state of Arkansas that are ir conflict herewith are hereby repealed and this act is intended to be cumula tive to all present liquor laws prohib iting the issuance of liquor licenses 1T the state of Arkansas.
 ."Sec. 5. This act being necessary for the immediate preservation of tho public health, peace and safety, shal be in effect from and after it's pas sage"

standons, and the new and increasing Russian and perhaps Italian and Roumanlan threat. the Germans an- nounce the virtual completion of their immediate campaign, possibly making virtue of a standstill. It is true that they have got in nominal touch with Turkey; but 1t remains to be seen if the road can be fully cleared and be kept open. There seems to be no more assurance of a swift, crushing, complete Teuton conquest in the southeast of Europe than there was in the west at first and later in the east.
 Meanwhile the SerY.ans themselves have eluded being crushed Some eighty thousand of them have with drawn Into the Albanian mountains, where it is not now prudent to follow them Their gradual retreat, Berlin admitted, was orderly, and they are not now demoralized They saved their light artillery. They are be- ing reorganlzed and are to be reht- ted, with allied help via the Adriatic coast. After the two Balkan wars, their first successful struggle with the Austrians. the ravage of epidem- ic, and the final Austro-German-Bul- garian steamrolling, they still have some military voice left in the great war of which they were tho first storm center
 And in Albania they have the senti- mental satisfaction of making their fourth capital at Scutari, once an an- clent city of theirs. Possibly, also. this latest shift may prengure their getting eventually the window on the Adriatic" denied them after their Balkan war victories. And they have the military satisfaction of knowing that. while losing now. they have helped toward Q final winning. Today they are, meanwhile, the first real guerillas of the war actual or Doten- tial.

JUNEAU IS ALL RIGHT.

The Seward Gateway makes serious mistake when says Che outlook at Juneau Is not promising and ol because a low grade intrusion was discovered in the Alaska Gasneau mine where grade of ore higher than the mine average was expected It bases 1t suggestion on the circumstance that there has been decline In the price of Alaska Gold stock It should remember that Alaska Gold stock has remained higher than It was before the commencement of production and that 1t IS now more than twoandahalf times It's par value Ao- soluely the only eect of this decline In the price or Alaska Gold stock has cause some of the more recent purchasers of the shares who may not be able to hold on. to lose As far the mine. It's original stockholders and Juneau are concerned there Is noth ing wrong at al The mine Is producing and is being developed It has been working at Q profit every day that the mn has been running It is producing at capacity that places among the greatest gold mines In the world and as far as known. it's plans to develop It SO that t w produce the full capacity of its 10000 ton mi have not been changed in the slightest detail
 In addition to that the material is already being assembled for the construction of the Soo0ton mill of the Alaska Juneau mne within the city limits of Juneau
 And other development Is under way and planned both north and south of Alaska Gastineau and Alaska Juneau properties and across Gastineau channel on Douglas Island.
 No thank you. the outlook for Juneau was never so promising as it is at the beginning of 1916

LET THE TERRITORY CONTROL

There is a marked difference between Delegate Wick ershas plans concerning the Alaska fisheries and those of Secretary Of Commerce Redhed the Delegate was correctly quoted by Westward newspapers Mir. Wicker sham favOrs extending the powers of the Territorial Legislature with reference the fisheries and Mfr Red field avors taking from the Legislature the powers that they have concerning them.
 In this matter while recognizing fully the pertinence of the suggestion Of the Cabinet officer that Is not well
 for two authorities to exercise the power to tax the Alas ka fisheries or any other Alaska industry or property or business The Empire believes that the power should be exercised by the Territory and not by Congress- In iac without Knowing Just what the Delegate meant by saving that he would urge that power be granted the Territory with reference to the fisheries The Empire believes that best results could obtained by having all the fisheries legislation made in this Territory and enforced in the Territory We believe that the people o Southeastern Alaska are better prepared to make fish, cries laws than Congress is just they better pre- pared to make all other laws for the government of the people of Alaska.
 With the fisheries with the schools. and practically every other Alaska problem the remedy Is fui Terri torial form of government"
 At least there should be complete cooperation be tween the Federal and Territorial authorities with the taxing power vested in the Territory.

 Speaking of prosperity, the thing mos. needed throughout the Pacific Northwest is the opening of the logging camps and the lumber mills with their thousands employees and their pay rolls running into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 That industry has correctly been described as the backbone of this part of the country When the camps are open and the mills prosperous there is money everywhere. and everybody Is happy
 That condition Is coming. Probably the first of the year will 1t again the rule. Added to the numerous reports of improvement. the announcement now comes that the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company will soon re- open Its Snohomsh County camp. employing 250 men; and in March. will reopen its Clarke County camp enn- ploying equal amount
 These reports ft nicely into similar conditions on Grays Harbor They also square with the announcement in The Tines a few days ago that rise Is impending the price of cedar logs in line with the advance in the prices of Ar and cedar products.

 On a smaller scale and to @ less de- gree, the Servians have helped at much cost to themselves to compel another outcome to a Teuton adven- ture somewhat like several that have gone before. There has agoin been failure to "clean up" in the sense Of completely crushing the intended prey, and at the same time some fur ther human wastage in the enort which helps shape the ultimate equation
 It is true that the Seryians, tre- mendously outweighed in numbers and equipment, could not punish the invader greatly, and had themselves to pay heavy penalty The last or their cities are lost in Prizrend and Monastir. and nearly the whole or their land overrun. They have lost relatively many prisoners In rear guard actions. and their non-comoat- ants have suffered much.
