The Prohibition Amendment,
voted on at the election, will go
into effect as soon as the vote is
canvassed and proclamation made
by the governor. This is the case
when there is no stipulated time
mentioned in the law itself. The
law on the subject provides that
ANY measure or amendment

which the referendum is applied,
shall be referred to a vote of the
qualified electors, and shall be-

ernor, and not otherwise"
The attorney general has sent
the following notice to all county
attorneys:
In order to have uniformity of

Resting After the Campaign

Benson's representative on the
State Republican ticket, Doane
Merrill, candidate for State Audi
tor, is home after a strenuous
campaign in which he, with other
candidates of the party, including
Tom Campbell, visited every part
of the state in The interest of the
ticket.
Mr.. Merrill owns up to being
tired out from the two or three
months of hard campaigning, in
which oftener than otherwise his
his party had several towns to
make and meetings to hold each
day, sometimes including Sun
days, and kept it up from week
to week. He expresses no regret
personally that he failed of cleo
ton, and stated bis appreciation of
the vote given him here over his
opponent, whom he comedies to be
a good man. He is also greatly
pleased that his campaign CO.
worker and personal friend, Tom
Campbell, received the vote for
governor. Mr. Merrill will rest
up and attend to his business af-
fairs for the next few weeks.
Mrs. Merrill has also returned to
her home here, after having been
engaged in touring the state in
the interest of Prohibition with
Mrs. Grady Gammage, of Phoe-
TX, representing the Women S
Christian Temperance Union of
the state. These two ladies have
worked hard for the Prohibition
Amendment and against the Local
Option Amendment, as it now
seems with success. Mrs. Gam
mage as a speaker and Mrs. Mer.
rill as a singer made strong
team and undoubtedly were largely
instrumental in securing the re-
suit.

prompt and economical handling
of the ore. Twenty five men are
at work and the plant will start up
in about ten days. The ore, which
is strictly scheelite, a combina-
ton of lime and tungsten, lies in
great masses that can be handled
at the minimum of expense and
loaded apon dump cars. The gold
and silver content of the ore is of
very considerable value, states
Mr.. Smith, and will be saved in
the reduction processes. He also
states that out of the twenty-five
men working, three are employed
in breaking and sorting 70 per
cent ore in amount sufficient to
pay expenses of the entire outfit,
and this in mining prop osition

pert that had ever gone in to look

interested in mining property
around johnson and Dragon,
claims to be the original locator of
the first paying tungsten mine in
the United States, the Dragon

vania concern. He has been con-
nected with this company, in one
capacity or another for about
twenty years, and is often referred
to as the Tungsten King"

property at a big round sum, but
as yet no deal has been closed.

OunSct ana evening star,

And with both elbows on the bar,

Thus the poem begins, and it is
indeed sublime thought which is
brought out in the first stanza. 1t
shows clearly that the author has
been there; he knows the wouder-
full feeling which comes from asso-
ciating with King Alcohol. He
has experienced the glorious, free,
floating sensation which D. Rum
and J. Barleycorn Whiskey will
gladly give. He has felt the floor
heave and roll beneath his winged
feet; he has seen his fellow man
become twins, yea, triplets; he has
seen the lights of the city multiply
and increase a hundred fold in
brightness; he has seen the whole
world revolving with himself as
axis. The sunset and evening
star refer to the gorgeous constel-
lation which he alone sees when
he misses his step and collides with
the pavement. After reading over
these beautiful lines we do not
doubt for a second that the gifted
author of this lyric was a devotee
of our greatest indoor sport, drap-
