Four Aids to PrOhibitOry Law Up In
House
STONE BILL HITS RAILROADS
Road Carrying Liquor Would Be-
come Salesman-AnOther
Measure Gives Cities
More Power

Topeka, Feb. 23.-Four measures
to increase the effectiveness Of the
Kansas prohibitory laws, will come
up in the house today. The most i'm
portant of the bills is that introduce
ed by Robert Stone of Shawnee,
making the carrier Of shipment of
liquor into Kansas the salesman.
The Stone bill is the most drastic
prohibition measure introduced into
the legislature this session. Its pro-
visions, If enforced, would make
liquor shipments into Kansas abso-
lutely impossible. 1t is modelled on
the West Virginia law, declared to
be constitutional two days before the
bill was introduced in the house..
Give Cities More Power
The Shuey bill, concerning city
ordinances, would give the cities
more inquisitorial powers in cases
of the violation of prohibitory laws.
1t regulates the taking of testimony
in certain criminal cases and is spe-
cially applicable to violations of the
prohibitory laws.
The Jocelyn blind drug store"
bill, provides that, in case liquor is
sold on the premises where drug
store is operated, the certificate of
the licensed pharmacist in the drug
store shall be revoked. AS the law
prohibits drug stores from doing
business without a registered phar-
macist. the law would effectively
put alleged drug stores out of the
"jointist" business.
Confirm 2 Capper Appointments
The senate today confirmed the
of s. T. Howe to sue
coed himself, and w. ]. Tod of Ma
pie Hill to succeed J. A. Burnett on
the state tax commission.
Let Minor Bills Die
With the opening OF the seventh
week of the 1915 legislative session
there Is q general tendency on the
part Of leaders in both houses to
rush through the more important
measures, let minor bills die on the
so home. In fact the
desire to adjourn sine die increases
With each days approach of the
lime when the pay of members will
stop and legislation will become the
asst word in loyalty and patriotism.

unless the Indians surrendered.
The telephone line from Grayson

much of the time since early last
evening. AS nearly as could be learn
ed at Grayson, the whites have been
reinforced by armed men from the
nearby settlements and ranches. 1t
was stated that the posse, originally
outnumbered, was stronger today
than the band OF Indians.
So far as could be learned at Gray
son, there have been no more cas-
ualties since the fighting in which
J. G. Akin of Dolores, member OF
the posse, and Jacks brother" and
an unidentified girl, both Indians
were killed and several wounded.

LEGISLATURES WORK WAITS
Party Pledges Not Yet Redeemed and
Important Bills Plentiful

| Topeka, Feb. 22.-The Kansas
law makers have a record for forty
days of forty-one bills passed and
signed by the governor. The session
of 1913 had passed thirty-nine bills
at this stage. But eight working days
remain in the regular fifty-day ses-
sion. After March 2 members of the
house and senate must serve without
pay.
Neither house has set a date for
final adjournment. To date 1861
bills have originated in the two
houses-1064 in the house and SIT
in the senate. 1t is the high-wator-
mark for original bills in the legis-
lative annals of the state.
From now until the close Of the
work must be done, for not a single
session practically all the important
big appropriation bill has been
agreed on by the two houses. None
of the platform pledges has been
translated into law, for while one or
two bills carrying them into effect
has passed one or the other house,
no such bill has received the appro-
val of both bodies. A number of such
measures have, however, failed Of
passage in one or the other house,
notably, the initiative and referen-
dunn resolution, and the wage COM
mission bill.

kATALLA HARbOR NJ OUTLET
 FUR COAL

Capt. c. w. Porter is here awaiting the arrival of R, w. Brown, engineer for the railroad commission, who is due from Seattle on the steamer Northwestern tonight. They will leave for Katalla, as soon as they organize their crew and arrange for a camp outfit, to make weather and ice observations in Controller Bay and the Boring River. This is being done for the purpose of determining the harbor possibilities in connection with a government railroad from the coal fields to tide water. A base line will be established and soundings made in all directions It is estimated that the work will take four or five months.
 This is not the first time that an investigation has been made of Con troller Bay as to it's harbor possibili ties. Some of the best engineers in the United States, as well as experi- enced mariners, have reported on their observations and in every in- stance reached the conclusion that 1t Is impracticable to establish harbor at Katalla. And now Uncle Sam is going to take flyer" at the proposi- tinn and if will he interesting to know the conclusions reached in the report filed. In government enter prises for Alaska there is always more or less experimenting, but when the Boring River coal is marketed it will be transported to Cordova over the Copper River X Northwestern Railway, the only logical route.

Cordova is now the Cooper City, of the United States it leads in the value of ore shipped to the shelter. During the month of May the pro duction of the Bonanza and Jumbo mines amounted to II 100000 pounds of which runs from 60 to IS per cent copper At the market price of this ore the value would be $l,932,000 With stimulated mar ket the output of these mines has been steadily increasing and they now handling their capacity, which means that the June shipmnets will be worth more than $2,000000.
 All of this ore is brought from Kennecott to Cordova, the Copper River < Northwestern Railway, and with the extension of spurs to other properties and the opening of the Boring River coal fields, this route will handle big tonnage and demonstrates what has always been contendad-- that the Cordova road offers the best opportunity open up the mineral wealth of interior Alaska
 In an editorial on the situation in copper. the Engineering and Mining Journal says
 The Hull in the buying of copper which began about three weeks ago naturally caused halt in the advance of price and then recession from the high mark No matter how satisfactorily the big pro- ducers may have contracted for the delivery of their expected output long way ahead, there are always many small producers, not only in this country but also in Chile, Japan, and elsewhere, whose affairs are not fortunately arranged who are willing to sell for what they get and reners buying cheap material are anxious to cover their purchases

by sales of refined and in turn willing to take what they can get
 The small recession in price that has lately been recorded does not indicate serious turn of the tide but merely we think, that the excitement has faded away which in our opinion is fortunate develop ment rather than the opposite. A resumption of military buying on a large scale may temporarily stir up things again. but in default of it the market ought to become quiet and steady at a little lower level pending the development of new governing factors.
 As for new governing factors, one may be fore seen certainly That is increasing production. The mines have gradually been resumng full gait and about the end of June the refneries ought to be getting into step Later in the year the new lnspira- ton and Chuquieamata copper will begin to be felt. A market factor whereof the development IS earn estly hoped is increase in consumption for peaceful purposes, especially domestic. There are unmis- takable signs of the beginning of this, and con sidering the riches that are coming to the United States it is hard to see how expansion in our internal business is to be avoided In so far the copper trade is concerned, however, it would be better to make start from market at l6(d17c than from that is 20c for the former is not an extravagant price and the latter is,

The arms and powder factories of Nippon were working night and day and were selling their entire output to Russia Enormous amounts of munitions were being trans ported across the Siberian railroad to the eastern fighting line, and the sudden stoppage of the source of supply raised havoc with the Russian army.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., June 12-The recent reverses suffered by the Russian troops in Central Galica terminating with the fall of Przemysl have been the subject of much mystery and conjecture to the military observers here.

Every move they had made in Galicia had resulted in practically an overwhelming victory, and the shock of the sudden defeat has been for ineXpicable
 It has been learned however that the defeat of the Russians not due to any reversal of fighting form on their part but to their utter lack of supplies and their inability to get any. The Russian army up to the time of the trouble between China and Japan,
