COLD PRODUCTION OF TOLOvANh < IS HELD BACK CONSIDERABLY THIS YEAR BY LACK OF RAIN
 FALL ,THRUOUT ENTIRE LINEN. GOOD DISTRICT.
HAD ONE RAIN THERE
 WITHIN THE. PAST MONTt
] FLIGHT OF TOLOVANITES WITH WHAT WAS EXPECTED TO BE A DOWNPOUR, TURNED TO DIS- MAY WHEN RAIN GOES ENTIRE LY AROUND DIGGINGS.

Unless there is considerable more rainfall than has so far visited that district, in the Tolovana country sdur- ing the remainder of the summer, the output of Livengood district will be materially curtailed in the opinion of a number of mining men and others who are now in Fairbanks. More than a month has now elapsed since there has been fall of rain suf- ficiently large to supply water for sluicing purposes and if such con- dition of affairs continues the min CTS of the region will not be able to wash their gold from the gravels no matter how rich their ground may be.
 Only once in the entire month has there been a chance that rain would fall in the district. At that time the overhanging clouds filled the Tolo- vanaites with delight and everyone prepared to splash Ter thru know ing from previous experiences that the downpour would be of short du tion, but their delight turned to dis may when the rain hit only the low CT end of the creek including the town of Brooks, not visiting the up per end of the creek where the great CT part of the mining is now being done.
 The gold which reached Fairbanks on the last boat from the Tolovana country, however, is ample evidence that the Tolovanaites are not idle. For despite all drawbacks they have succeeded in producing some of the yellow metal, altho all who are fam iliar with the facts agree that the production will be considerably less than was expected unless there is a greater rainfall.

LARGE HANGAR
 WILL BE- BUILT

WASHINGTON, July 26.-R)-Sec retary Daniels, this afternoon, off cially approved of the plans for the erection of one of the largest dirig. ibie hangars in the world. The build. ing will be of enormous size and will house a dirigible which is to be purchased abroad. next year, by the navy.
 The hangar will be constructed at Lakehurst, New Jersey, and work on it will be started within the next few weeks. The navy plans extensive work in developing the immense dir igibles until they are practically per fsct While this dirigible will be pun chased in a foreign country. it is entirely probable others just as large win be constructed at some future date.

GOVERNOR COX
 ORDERS INQUIRY

COLUMBUS. Ohio, July 26-R-A sweeping statewide investigation of the present high prices of foodstuffs in this state is to be conducted at once by the orders of Governor Cox.
 In ordering this investigation, Gov ernor Cox issued a statement in which he says: "The prices of food stuffs, instead of being high, as they now are. should be at low levels and I believe it devolves upon the state government to investigate the reason for these exorbitant prices."
 The governor expressed his opin- itn that the prices are artificially inflated and the inquiry to be con- ducted will result in lowering the cost of many necessities.

CONSENTS TO SMILE AFTER WEEPING COPIOUS TEARS Ey. FRY DAY FOR MANY WEEKS AND CHANGE IS ENJOYED
TRIPS TO THE WOODS
 ARE ALL THE RAGE
MANY PICNICKERS WILL BE AB SENT FROM THE CITY TODAY WILL GO BY. AUTO OR LAUNCH WHILE THOSE LESS FORTU. NATE WILL HIKE.

Who said it was going to rain all summer? We'll, whoever did say such thing was mistaken, for the past two days will bear witness that they w"re wrong, as it didn't rain drop It can safely be said, however, that those two days were practically the only ones when it did not rain, but it is to be hoped that there will be many more before Jack Frost finally gets his wintry grip on the country.
 The good weather is being greeted with great joy hy all lovers of the big outdoors residing in Fairbanks. Ii means that they can now go on long trips into the surrounding country tC favorite haunts in the woods without loading themselves down with wet weather preventatives. Many ol them. such as are not taking the triI to N0nana will Be in the woods today Some will go by auto to the "oats field" as Bill TerrilPs farm on the trail to the coast is pow called, for a days fishing. Others will go out as far as Munson's or thru to Birch Lake fofr the day. Still others will go by launch up the Big Cinema, while al least one party will spend the day or Clear creek. A few, not having friends with autos or launches. and not owning such things themselves will take their outing on "shanks mare."
 The mosquitoes usually make trips into the woods at this time of the year anything but a pleasure unless the picnickers are prepared to figh; the pest. This year, however. there are but few mosquitos, which makes it certain that all who liks such pas time can enjoy themselves in the woods providing the weather goddess continues to smile.

POLICING MEXICO.

It seems more apparent every day that a strong hand is needed for policing Mexico Some leader, as yet undiscovered, of the Mexi- cans themselves may arise and do the job to the satisfaction of the world and the best in terests of Mexico, but if none comes it may be necessary for outsiders to take hand in the process of cleaning up.
 It is evident that the Carranza govern ment is not able to cope with the present sit uation, and while the najority of Americans do not desire to interfere in Mexican affairs, it is possible that the United States may have to do so in order to protect itself and it's citizens from insult and injury. Renewed rebel activity turnout Mexico reveal the weakness of the Carranza regime and it's lpoWerlessness to protect even the citizens of it's own states over which it has nominal con- trol much less give protection to foreigners in all parts of the country
 The attack on small boat of the Ameri- can monitor Cheyenne by Mexican bandits may yet result in the occupation of Tampco It was an incident similar to this which led to the American seizure of Vera Cruz several years ago. For months, in fact since 1917 when the United States entered the war |against Germany, there has been more or less trouble around Tampico which threatened to involve America. This was largely connected with the question of the oil supply originating there and controlled by American and English investors.
 Carranza has admitted himself without power to handle the situation in the Tampico district, which is almost entirely controlled by local bandit cheftains. He has also shown that he is unable to prevent bandit forces from making raids over the interna- tional boundary into American soil There is no present prospect that any other leader will be able to do any better than the present government at Mexico City is doing.
 The present Mexican policy of the Ameri- can government was adopted in the hope that Mexico itself would be able to set its house in order. This it has failed to do, and not even a start has been made If anything its affairs are more hopelessly muddled today than they were four years ago. Current develop ments indicate that this policy is about to undergo radical change unless consdera- ble improvement is shown in the situation

REVENUE MAN
 VISITS BROOKS

One of the outgoing passengers for Brooks on the Carl White Launch to. morrow morning will be Dan T. Hill deputy collector of internal revenue. He goes to the thriving Tolovana mining camp for the purpose of as. sisting the mining men and mer. chants of the region in compiling the returns on which they will pay their income taxes. Owing to the fact that they have not been in direct contact with anyone who could assist them in the past in the matter of ar ranging their schedules of income the people of the Livengood camp have been having considerable trouble. It is therefore thot that MT. Hills visit there will be a matter of considerable assistance to them.
 MT. Hill expects to spend about two weeks in the Livengood country. He will then return to Fairbanks and proceed Outside.

THE ENFORCEMENT BILL,

In the prohibition enforcement bill as originally introduced ill congress there were three titles, the first dealing with wartime prohibition, the second with the prohibition amendment and the third with the manufac- ture of alcohol for commercial and medicinal purposes The first two are similar, the main difference being that the second is more com plete and drastic. In both the prohibited DOT tion of alcohol is placed at one-half of one per cent. In both the detection of the sale or manufacture is placed in the hands of the commissioner of internal revenue and his as sistants and the prosecution in the hands of United States attorneys. In the bill as intro duced, however, in Title l. the possession of liquor was not crime, but under the amend ment possession was construed as evidence that the owner is engaged in barter, unless the beverage is kept in his dwelling. This pro vision was made in the following paragraph:
 'But it shall not be unlawful to possess liquors i'll ones private dwelling, while the same is occupied and used by him only as his dwelling; provided that the burden of proof shall be upon the possessor to prove that the liquor was lawfully acquired and possessed"
 Late telegraphic despatches say that this clause was killed and the enforcement law as passed makes it unlawful to possess liquors in a private dwelling. The hopes of the vets were pinned on the above provision as under it many loopholes could be found by those de- string to peddle booze.
 One familiar with the Alaska "dry-law" would find nothing strange or even unusual about the national enforcement dry law It merely extends to the whole country that which has been applied to Alaska for the past two years. It sets out to encourage the manu- facture of alcohol for trade purposes, but it hedges the operation with the most impene- trable entanglement of permits and reports ever set about business. It makes any ad- vertisement unlawful that contains picture that might be improperly construed by thirsty souls. (Which won't affect Alaska newspapers as they haven't carried liquor ads for some time). It allows person injured by an in- toxicated second party to bring suit against the seller of the liquor, which should have been the rule during the saloon era. Taken all around the measure is stringent and thoro The bill will hold water-and in the long run the. country will hold nothing else
