month and some idea Of the effects of
this kind OF a regime may be gathered
from the conditions that have existed
here during the past month
OF course there is the fact that
New broom sweeps clean" meaning
that changed condition in public af-
fairs always shows up better immed-
lately after the change is initiated and
the public officers are on the alert
than later on when the thing gets to be
an old story and officers are not as
vigilant as they were on the start.
Therefore IL will be necessary 10 take
stock frequently during the year to
get an accurate idea OF and TO answer
intelligently the question.
Does Prohibition Prohibit
People in surrounding wet territory
undoubtedly want TO know what the ex-
perience OF Crystal Falls is under the
dry" regime and to answer the ques-
tion thoroughly and without bias The
Diamond Drill intends to publish
monthly resume OF the conditions for
the month previous. From these
monthly statements the people in sur
rounding cities may form an opinion
based upon facts and not upon argu-
ments spun of to them during a local
option campaign.

formation was our city marshal He in
formed us that during the month he
had made Just two arrests against 16
al rests last month when the city~wss
wet
or the arrests made this month one
was for speeding an automobile and
the other for speeding a motor cycle.
"I have seen Just one drunken man
on our streets during the month, said
MIR. Broad and he came here drunk
fl ON another town. have heard fell
lows say that they saw drunken men
but when you pin them down they
can't come across with the name"
Last month when the city was
wet" | had 16 arrests and OF that num-
Der IL were for being drunk. ! didn't
arrest the man saw drunk this month
as he created no disturbance but under
the new instructions will have to ar
rest anyone whom see drunk on our
streets. II is probable that more drunk
en- men came TO town but If they did
they went Immediately TO their homes"
Shipments OF Liquor
Our next inquiry was at the station
OF the North Western and the ST. Paul
roads and covered the amount OF in
toxicating liquor that had been receiv-
ed by each road during the month,
IL is necessary for the carriers.
either railroad or express companies,
10 keep an accurate record OF all liquor
received over their lines the previous
month and this record must be open to
public inspection.
We were allowed to look over the
shipments received and q summary OF
the receipts IS as follows:
Received via the North Western and
delivered:
rs cases bottled beer.
80 ik-bbl. kegs beer
quarts liquor. mostly whiskey.
Received via Chicago Milwaukee a
81. Paul and delivered,
case bottled beer
4 h-bbl. kegs beer.
8 quarts liquor. mostly whiskey.
This. as you can readily see. makes
total receipt of ~ cases. 36 kegs OF
beer ana ie quarts OF stronger liquor,
II il true, OF course, that residents
have much left OF the stocks sold out
by LIQUOR dealers in April that they
have no, used up yet and that this fact
keeps down the receipts below what y
will be later on when those stocks
have been used up
