I TREATY DRY ZONE 70 EXTENDS.

TREATY DRY ZONE II EXTENDS.
More Minnesota Towns Are Given
Closing Orders. 4;
Under the Indian treaty of 1856 the
saloons of Perham, Otter Tail county
will be closed shortly. The brewery
there will be closed on March 81
New York Mills. Richville and Dent
all in Otter Tail county, also will be
made dry in a few days.
The "dry" zone is gradually being
extended also upon the range. The
saloons at Hibbing, Grand Rapids
Chisholm and other range towns have
not yet received orders, but it is prob
able they will be closed.
Returns from all over the State of
last Tuesdays election indicate most
clearly that the "drys" made appreciable
inroads on the "wets''. 80 municipali-
ties that were wet last year have, gone. in
the dry column and only two of those
that were dry have once more voted
wet. The two places that voted wet
are Adrian and Eyota. The places
that voted dry are ALTA, Anoka Town
ship, Butterfield, Cleveland, Currie,
Cyrus, Deerwood Township, DeGraff,
Emmons, Foxholm, Hendricks, Jackson,
Lamberton, Morristown, Minneota,
Motley, Motley Township, Morgan,
Morton, Minnetonka Beach, Magnolia,
North Cross, Onamia, Ormsby, Odessa,
Osakis, Ottertail, Pine Island, Proctor,
Park Rapids, Revere, stewartville,
Willard, Walker and Wadena.
Some of the places went dry by very
large vote, as for example Franklin,
which went dry by vote of los against
rs. In others again the vote was very
close. Lamberton went dry by MAORI
ty Of votes, Morgan by 2 votes and
Revere by one vote. Fairfax and
Gibbon both went wet by very good
sized vote as did Wabasso.
The only municipality in Brown
County that voted on the question at
last Tuesdays election was Springfield
and that went wet by a majority of 49,.
This is quite reduction of the votes
of the previous year where the vets
won out by majority of lis votes,
the vote being 232 to 1T. The vote
this year was 1914 for the vets and 116
votes for the drys.
All of the places where the liquor
question was an issue the drys had
meetings and speakers who showed up
the evil effects OF the liquor traffic.
The only place where the vets had any
speakers was down in Adrian which
left the dry column and is once, more
wet. With such good success at Adrian
the saloon interests naturally seem
hopeful that with good speakers and
with proper exposition of the liquor
question they will be able to stem the
prohibition wave that is now on.
