1t is the danger resulting from local

In every state where the prohibit

find it difficult to force their fanatical
ideas upon the people, they have one
system which they follow, and which
seems to appeal to the liberal people

invariably results ultimately in our

1T is my observation, and the uni

who met at the Commercial club to
unite in a cash selling plan will hold
their plans in allegiance until the season
develops and more definite estimate
can be obtained on the local and for

value. At present there is decidedly
bullish feeling, not only on the part of
growers, but also of shippers and sell

can be disposed of at good cash prices
Under these circumstances it appeared

Cavalry MysteriOusE Comes to
Forces in Distress.
BOLD, ADVENTUROUS RIDE REPORTED
First News Since Surrender Of Gen.
Townshend and Fall of Kut-eI-
Amara Is Joyful Surprise.

London-A force of Russian cavalry
has joined the British army on the
Tigris, in Mesopotamia- An official
communication, issued Monday night
concerning the situation along the
Tigris, follows:
General Lake reports that on the
18th the enemy vacated Betahalessi,
and advanced position on the right
bank of the Tigris. General Gorringe,
following up the enemy, attacked and
carried the Dujailam redoubt. The
enemy is still holding the Sannayyat
position on the left bank of the river.
"a force of Russian cavalry has
Joined General Gorringe after a bold
and adventurous ride
"The first news of the operations or
the Tigris since the fall of Kut-el-
Amara, sent by Lieutenant Genera
Sir Percy Lake, commander of the
British forces in Mesopotamia, al
though it shows that the Turks art
still holding the Sannayyat position
on the left bank of the Tigris, where
the British check made it impossibl,
to carry out the relief of Genera
Townshend, brings the welcome bu
astonishing intelligence that a body o.
Russian cavalry, after an adventurou
ride, has succeeded in joining Genera
Gorringe's forces on the south bank O
the Tigris."
How this important junction wa
effected is still unknown, and the stor.
will be awaited with intense interest
Their sudden appearance with Gen
eral Gorringe also has raised the ques
tion whether the Russians have al
ready cut the Bagdad railroad at Nc
sui. In any case, the unexpected ar
pearance of this body of cavalry is a
great surprise as was the first LAND
ing of the Russian troops at Marsei
les, and is another instance of tn
swift and stealthy movement of tn
