LANDRIGAN GETS LICENSE.
Fee Was Raised to Eighteen Hundred
Dollars by Council


Gil met TO consider the question OF
LIQUOR license for Alpha. The ques-
ton OF saloon or no saloon was one
that had been debated quite heatedly
for several days and last Mondays
meeting was the elimination OF the
agitation for and against.
A very fair sized delegation was
present in the council rooms when
Pres. Edwards called the meeting to
order. But five councilmen were
present, Captain Holman having been
called out OF town on business.
Atty. Leigh G. Caswell OF Crystal
Falls was on hand. Mr.. Caswell was
called by the village but he also rep
resented Mr.. Landrigan who was seek
ing license and so informed the vii
lage officials at the time.
The first question to be decided was
whether or not Alpha should have any
saloon The friends OF Mr.. Landrigan
advocated II and the "drys," lead by
Rev. Shoemaker, opposed the grant
ing OF a license.
Pres. Edwards was very fair In his
rulings and gave everyone an oppor-
tunity to be heard. There was little
talking done, Mr.. Caswell addressing
the council in behalf OF Mr. Landrigan
and Mr.. Shoemaker in behalf OF the
"drys." While none OF the other
"drys" did any talking it was quite
apparent that Rev Shoemaker had
considerable support
When IL came to a vote on the ques-
ton OF allowing a license TO Mr..
Landrigan three councilmen, Ander-
son. Carlson and Schoffman, voted in
favor OF license and Whitehead and
Mathews against 1t.
Mr.. Whitehead then moved that the
license fee be fixed at $l,S0000 and
when the vote was taken II was found
that Mr.. Anderson changed to the
support OF those who had opposed
llSSHSc, iiahihh NhiSS NotSo IN AH'ci
OF the high license and two votes
against II.
The Diamond Drill learns that there
is not much probability OF there being
any legal proceedings az there is con
siderable OF a change OF view upon the
question OF its legality.
In order to get the matter first hand
and devoid OF any guess work a re-
porter for The Diamond Drill inter
viewed Mr. McDonough yesterday up
on tins subject Mr. McDonough sa'o
that he looked into the question quite
az length and came to the conclusion
that Alpha can get a saloon should
the matter go into a court and il Is
not his disposition to take any steps
simply for the purpose OF keeping a
community out of It's rights for a
short time to please one faction or
the other
Briefly stated there was no village
Of Alpha when the 1910 census wa
taken. II Is common knowledge that
Alpha has more than 500 people now
The matter has never been definitely
settled by the court but Il is his opln-
ion that the court will construe the
law to allow Alpha a saloon under
these conditions
Mr.. McDonough stated that mem
Der Of the council called him up and
he told that member the conclusion
that he had arrived at In reply the
member stated that the Alpha people
opposed to a saloon intend to ask that
an injunction be issued against the
Issuing of the license and will test
the matter out in the courts This.
Of course, Is their right and the only
proper way TO settle the matter
definitely.

VISITING DELEGATION.

A large delegation of prominent
sitizens Of the county waited on the
County Commissioners on Tuesday
10 suggest a plan of doing more
work on the new Riverside road.
No bids within the law could be OBJ
tanned to construct the second five
miles of said road in the direction
from La Plata, so the Commission
ers. who are In hearty sympathy
with the spirit of the law that such
a road should be built, stretched
the same to meet the emergency ana
ieeided to advertise for bids to con-
struct the third five miles of the
proposed road. The proposition
seemed to meet the wishes of the
delegation, and they left town a
happy family Ex-Judge Gray, Dr.
Speake and Messrs. James Gray,
and W. G. Bishop seemed to head
the delegation. State Road Com
missioner John F. Mudd was present
at the conference, as well as many
other prominent people, and there
was a unanimous sentiment to con-
struct the road as to sections in any
other way possible.
