U. S. Dry By 1918
Anti Saloon Claim

Washington, Feb. 3.-That the en-
tire United States will be voted dry by
the end of 1917 was the prediction
her today of the A~nti-Saloon League
of America. The claim is based on
the following:
Pending dry legislation, will be
passed at the present session of con-
gress, as a result of the "undisputed"
growth of public sentiment in favor Of
it, land the 1879 new house of repre-
sentative members will swell the

TORRENS BILL
PASSES SENATE
Night Session VIII Be Necessary Soon
To Clear Calendar

The Reeves Torrens bill, No. So, for
optional registration of titles under
that system was called up and ex-
planned by the %introducer. The bill
was supported by whittemore, Bore
son, Urdahl, Dowell, Gunderson, Wa
tiers and Mohn, though the latter
stated that he was an abstractor.
Southwich, president of the state
a~bstractors' association, was decidedly
against the bill, and declared that his
| opposition was not personal, but that
he opposed il on the ground that ii
was not a panacea for title troubles,
and that 1t would not be used as 1t
was too costly, although 1t would be
cheaper after once started, and that
principal ones who want 1t are book
makers and holders of questionable
titles, but the bill went through 3S TO
8.
Patterson has framed his idea into
a road law, which provides for a state
commissioner of highways, who shall
have an Office at the seat of govern
ment and whose salary shall be $4,000
a year. This officer to have general
supervision of the highway situation
within the state. He is empowered
to appoint a highway commissioner
in each county Of the state, who shall
select a clerk, who shall maintain an
Office at the county seat. for consider
alton of highway matters, and the
salary in this case Is sl,20G a year,
to be paid by the county. The high
way work carried on under this system
is not to recognize townships, districts
or county lines, but be carried on un-
der a systematic system of road con-
struction under the supervision of the
officers supplied in the bill.
While the house held a morning ses-
sion in it's effort to get the calendar
cleared, the senate is talking of a
night session, but it is hardly likely
that they will take up that policy be-
fore next week. But the time Is soon
coming when the sessions will string
through morning, afternoon and even
ing, and possibly all night, regardless
of the efforts to avoid the last night
session.

RUMBLINGS ON THE ALLEYS.

The Beck's Pharmacy bunch made it
eight out of the nine scheduled games
when they defeated the High School
team two out of three last Monday. The
Gold Coins did the same thing with the
Daniel Webster's. They rolled their
final match together on Tuesday. Both
of the games won by the two teams,
High and Daniel Websters, were won by
but ten pins. Magnificent Record!
The Wicherksi's took three straight
from the leaders of the league, the Tele-
phones, on Wednesday,. The last game
wasn't decided until the last ball was
rolled and then the former led by pins.
Geo. pulled down 208 average with a
single high score of 226. Fritz Groebner
also put in 225 score in that match.
The Telephones again took the lead
on Friday when they handed the Beck's
an empty package. Both teams were
determined to stand first but Reilly
Dahms put in 203 average, thus saving
his team the fall. ~ L. .a#. !
Bif! Zip! Fam! Down went the
records. Laying claim to two huge
slices of the bacon in one night is quite
hoggish, according to our opinion. But
that's what the WichtePs did on Friday
when they dealt the Hackbarth's a 80
defeat and smashed the high game and
high three game records. In the last
game they hit 999 score and for their
total pins they knocked 2771 pins over.
Every man on the team was on his toes
and the individual totals were quite
evenly divided. Look the scores over
and see for yourself. OF course, the
Hackbarth's feel as if they were handled
'kind-a-ruff''', especially Paul. In spite
of his 2O3 average and 235 score his
followers failed to win game.
The Waxi's took two from the Gold
Coins Sunday afternoon. It looked las
if the Gold Coins didn't know they were
rolling until the last game and then they
rolled enuf to defeat their opponents in
totals. <. - p So y
-. In the match between the Rex and the
Waxi's, in which the former took three
straight, Schop Puchner rolled total Of
GIT pins. In the second game he shot
a s24O score, which pulled down the

Southwestern Minnesota will have a
new judicial district, providing a bill
introduced into the legislature by Re

law. The new district will take two
counties, Lincoln and Lyon, from the
Ninth, of which Brown is a part, and
Pipestone from the Thirteenth.
The bill is strongly Endorsed by the
Lyon County Bar Association. It is
claimed that the Ninth district is too
long. From St. Peter, at the east, to
Ivanhoe, which is in the western end, is
1874 miles, and much inconvenience is
experienced by attorneys and others who
have court business.
Several Lyon county attorneys are
already in the field for the judgeship.
