FACTS REGARDING
THE PROGRESS OF PROHIBITION

Eighty and eight-tenths per
. cent of the territory of the United
States has been voted dry.
Sixty and seven tenths per cent Of
the population of the United states has
adopted prohibition.
Out of 3.012 counties in the United
States, 2,3i6 are now dry
Twentysix states have adopted
state wide prohibition-Maine. Kansas
North Dakota, Georgia, oklahoma.
Mississippi, North Carolina Tennessee
West Virginia, Virginia, Colorado, ore
gon, Washington, Arkansas Alabama,
Iowa Idaho, South Carolina Michigan,
Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, Ar
izona, Utah, Indiana and New IIamp-
shire.
New Mexico. Wyoming, Minnesota
Missouri, Florida, Ohio have submitted
statewide prohibition by constitu
tional amendments to vote of the peo-
pie.
Six thousand five hundred saloons
and ~ breweries and distileries were
put out of business at the last general
election in Michigan, Nebraska. South
Dakota. Montana and Alaska.
An amendment to the constitution of
the United States, prohibiting forever
the manufacture, sale, importation and
expectation for beverage purposes of
alcoholic beverages, has passed the
United States senate by more than the
necessary twothirds majority.
The ratification of this amendment
for national prohibition by SO states
after it has been submitted by con-
gress will incorporate prohibition in
the constitution of the United States.
Only ten more states are needed to be
won to accomplish the job. In the ten
driest states of those yet remaining
wet. there are fewer than 1000 sa-
looms.
The last congress made the District
of Columbia dry and established pro-
hibition in Alaska. At the last general
election Porto Rico adopted prshihi-
ton.
This same congress also passed n
law prohibiting the shipment of liquor
in interstate commerce into any dry
state. and in addition passed law
barring from the United States mails
all newspaper and other liquor adver-
tisements in states where such adver-
tisements are forbidden.

HOLD YOUR CATTLE

tBy C. b. Kegley, master state grange.
in Agricultural Grange News)
Perhaps never before in the state
of Washington was there so great a
shortage in the hay and feed crops Of
Washington. This will have ten
dency to lead the farmer to sell his
cattle and sheep and dispose of his
feed at the high price that is sure to
follow.
As Is usual in cases like we now
are confronted with, the speculator Is
riding the country contracting hay and
feed with view to holding for the
advanced price that Is sure to follow.
This is not the worst feature of the
case, which is followed by general
sluffing off of surplus stock that should
lie retained on the farm. The pack
knowing full well that the shortage Of
hay will of necessity force the farmer
to let his stock go, and besides others
will sell off and take advantage of the
high price Of hay and feed. This gives
the packers the key to the situation,
and as is universally the case, prices
of beef cattle begin to stuff with the
extra delivery. Just as If the selling
now will overload the market. Wha
ever Is delivered now and stored in the
cobl storage plants means just that
many less for the delivery next sum-
mer. But the keen ca business in
stinct (D-of the practical business man
leads him to press down and down on
the price until the very bottom has
been reached. This we call business.
But our reason for writing this Is
to urge every farmer to hold on to
hay and stock. Your selling now only
aids the food gambler to press down
the price to you and in no way aids
the consumer Of that product. Watch
the market next summer when the sup
ply on the farm is exhausted. Prices
VIII soar and not hoof to be found
on the farm, for 1t Is all in cold stor-
age. and placed there at ruinous prices
to the farmer, and later sold at starva-
tion prices to the consumer.
Hold your hay. Feed your cows and.
depend on it, you will not regret hav-
ing acted on this advice. 1t may seem
foolish advice when we say hold on to
your cattle. But our judgment Is that
one year from today you will be thank
full that you have them to fall back
on. Keep your hay and cows.

THE MINING NEWS

past two years.
The Galena mine on Onion creek has
recently encountered ledge in their
crosscut tunnel and is now drifting
in ore of milling grade, expecting at
any time to encounter the ore shoal
exposed by the surface workings on
the property.
