Unselfishness was the theme Of the

expressions OF the principle OF un-

SEATTLE MAYOR
AFTER BLIND PIGS

Seattle. April lS,--Mayor Gill. Of
Seattle. the largest dry city In the

able interview that the city OF Seattle
go into the saloon business.
The mayor offered his startling
suggestion as the only effective means
OF eliminating the Illicit sale Of
liquor by drug stores.
~ suggest" Mayor Gill said. that
the next session OF the legislature be
asked to enact law permitting cities
OF the first class to take charge OF
the sale OF whiskey by physicians
prescription. Druggists should he
forbidden to sell II at all. The city
should establish stations at widely
distributed points in the city sum
ciently to accommodate all emer-
gency needs"
Such law, the mayor declares,
would quickly put out of business
drug stores which have sprung up for
the sole purpose OF harvesting fat
profit of whiskey drinkers.
Persons who want liquor would be
compelled to get II by the method
provided in the prohibition law.
through permits issued by the county
auditor.
The mayor told OF the frequent In
quiries he received as to Information
as to how the prohibition law Is
working out In this city and state.
'T tell the people," he said. that
what can see with my own eyes
that prohibition has been a wonder
ful thing for Seattle I know men
who now keep their families clothed
and their grocery bills paid who in
the days OF the saloon never had n
nickel. 7 know that times are bet
ter.
There may be some soaks who
still go into the back room OF drug
stores and guzzle booze, but your
boy and my boy are not doing IT,.
There are no saloons for them to
walk into And II have my way
there are not going to be any saloon
drug stores either"

PREPARING FOR DITCH DIGGING.
Surveyors have now taken the field
and are marking out the lines for
the new south side irrigation ditch.
this to be the most extensive canal
for the conveying of water for irri-
cation purposes In this portion Of
the valley. It is proposed to extend
this canal for distance Of eight
miles from the intake at the Golden
Drift dam, where the pumping plant
Is established. "A new pump will be
installed to serve this ditch. and
work will follow closely upon the sur
vey. This ditch will not only carry
water for the irrigation Of the lands
coming under 1t. but will also be the
source Of supply for the sugar fac
tory, which will take the water 1t
needs from It. The factory will re-
Quire large amount Of water during
the period Of Its operation. but this
win be after the irrigation season Is
over. The factory run does not be-
gin till September /. Much new land
Is being cleared under this ditch,
some in the Allen creek district, ana
the farmers for five miles down the
river win be given water this season.
according to the plans Of the COM
pany.
