Grouse Reported
 To Be Plentiful

For the first time in two years reports have reached town that the grouse are plentiful in this region. Bobby Benner, who recently came in from Hot Springs, reports that he saw number of birds in the Minto flats. Earlier in the season some of the birds ventured down into the flats near Cushman street.
 Grouse were once plentiful in the Panama Valley, but for the last few years a hunter had to run his legs off, even to get shot. Various req sons have been advanced for the fact that they were so scarce. One is that as the valley becomes more populated the birds stay in the hills. Another Is that the wild animals, es- pecially the mink and lynx. are re- sponsible for their scarcity.

AUGUST FOURTEENTH.

DO you know that every appll-
cant for insurance is asked
whether he drinks alcoholic
drinks and if so whether it is
beer or whiskey and how much
per day?
Do you know that every en-
ployer asks a prospective en-
ploye the same question?
Do you know that many en-
ployers refuse to hire a man who
drinks liquors even moderately?
Do you know that the fact
that a man who INDUCES in al
coholic liquor disqualifies him
from service with many rail-
roads?
Why?
1t is practically conceded that alco-
hol does a man no good; the best
that the friends of alcohol claim for
it is that it does a man little or nc
harm. But big business answers en-
phatically that it belittles the value
of man. They are figuring it on the
dollars and cents basis. They are not
looking directly as to the moral effect
Of strong drink; they are only indi-
rectly interested in the sufferings and
deprivations of the family of the man
who squanders his salary at a saloon ;
they are primarily interested in the
financial result.
Experience has taught them that
they can lose money on the man who
drinks. He not only does inferior
effect on his fellow workman. It
doesn't pay; they don't want him and
won't hire anyone whom they know
drinks. Insurance men ask higher
rates from the driking man or if he
drinks to excess they refuse to issue
him a policy at all. That is a very
emphatic answer as to what they be-
lieve the effects Of alcohol are. Lis .-
Just as emphatically the Pioneer

To dissolve any doubt in the minds

without any reservation whatsoever
that we stand for prohibition and are
unalterably opposed to the liquor in

On August IA, Beltrami county
votes whether or not the county goes
"dry." The southern half Of our
county is already dry under the Fed
eral Indian treaty. It is up to you,
voters, to decide whether you will
follow the example set by the Fed
eral government or whether you will
offset that advantage by permitting
those from the dry territory swarm
into the wet half of the county and
then return home intoxicated and
broke. County option will make it
possible to govern the communities
inside the treaty district that are at
present rebellious and defiant
On election day we will place our
cross on the ballot for prohibition for
two reasons: First, saloons are an
evil which mitigate against the pros
