HAS COLORADO'S PROHIBITION LAW BEEN A GOOD INVEST
 MENT?

Has the prohibition law in Colo rado been good investment? What has the state received in return for the saloon revenue? These are le- gitimate inquiries and they can be answered in the words of The Pa cific Woodsman:
 "We must admit that a strange state of affairs exists in Colorado generally, and particularly in Den yer, and anybody can blame the pro- hibitiOnists if they want to. Some thirty per cent increase is shown in tramway receipts. This can't be due to paucity of autos, either, for traffic cops, dealers and others who are in position to know, say that an increase of 25 machines per day is what Denver street traffic shows; bank deposits show an increase Of over $7,000.000 in 90 days; the te- lephone company is working every available man night and day; hund- reds of families are coming in, and the Tor Rent sign will be just a memory; Dunn's Review notes the fact that the Denver Gas & Electric company sold over 1,00O,O00O kilo- wats more juice during the first six months, and idle men have a hard time to remain in the unemployed class.
 "Charge all this to the drys if you want to, but were still looking for the fellow who wants to give away his property. We'll take it and give him enough mazuma to pay his fare to the wettcst place he knows of." Adv.

PORTLAND THRIVES UNDER
 PROHIBITION. The People Buy More Groceries and Other Merchandise and LOSen
 Up To Pay Old Bills.

I have partially completed a sur vey of the city, covering grocers and druggists, and with but very few exceptions the proprietors say that their. business is improving and that collections are much better than formerly. Old accounts, they de- clare, are also being liquidated and the general tone of conditions is along the line of betterment with them since the liquor business was put under the ban January 1. This seems to be equally true with other lines of business.
 New buildings are replacing the old shacks in which saloons were formerly conducted, and in fact all of the old stock arguments which were so consistently put forward by the liquor interests, for years, have been proved mere theories that fall to pieces when put under the search light of fact.-Mayor H.

 William Maloney, the Territory's mine inspector. returned yesterday afternoon Ou the Flyer from Solo mon and Council where he has been busy inspecting mining conditions. He believes that the output of the Council district will this year be in the neighborhood of $600,000, about the same, approximately as last year. All the dredges are running with the exception of the Orc and the Warm creek dredges and all the rest are having a very good season. The Wild Goose, the Blue Goose, the Kimball dredges and the North ern Light were all doing very well. The Northern Light was brought up from Mystery during the past winter and installed at the mouth of Ophir, the results warranting the favorable expectations had been formed of this ground. Dredges in Solomon were running regularly also and were anticipating a late season. From here it is likely that Inspector Maloney will be a passenger on the Umatilla winding up his year after very thorough inspection of the various camps, at Juneau.
