I'm January, according to a first
page story in the Denver Post, the
daily shipment of liquor from Chey-
enne into Colorado averaged $1,000
day, while fer February, a Cheyenne
banker is authority for the statement
that the wholesale liquor houses Of
his city shipped more than one-half a
million dollars worth of the stuff that
cheers across the Colorado borders.
These facts, published in the state
press, have appalled, business men,
who do not relish the idea of from
$4,000 to $4,000 a day leaving the
state for liquor, because they know
this money will never come back
More than 100000 of Denver mon
ely was sent out of Denver alone, never
to return to local circulation.
Realty Depression.
Owners of business property have
been forced to revise leases and re-
duce rentals on account of the realty
depression following prohibition, and
in few instances where owners have
of their tenants to slash rentals, the
latter have refused to continue in
business and lawsuits have resulted.
another effect of prohibition which
the fun-loving people of Colorado did
not anticipate is the killing of night
life. Denver, noted for its life and
gayety, now pulls down the shades
and retires early, except where booze
at homes are being given, and, by the
way, these affairs have become a fad

will identify as official. The papers
were said to disclose several subjects
of an unusual nature which had not

If none of the documents is declared
