CANADA MAY Be WET ].
WITHIN SHORT time.

T. . " . . 4 j
According to reports In the daily
papers we might expect Canada to
have, saloons some. time during the
next few months. The bars in all
parts OF Canada were closed as a
war measure shortly after the war
started, and later the government
distributing points were discontin-
ued. The prohibition measure was
never voted upon. Now that the
war Is over those who favored the
saloons cannot see why these insti-
tutions should not be opened again.
It may be several months before the
varicus provincial governments start
issuing licenses again, but the pro-
vinces won't be dry until the pro-
position Is voted upon by the people.

LEAGUE HOPES To KILL
OPPOSITION PAPERS

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 9-Legis-
lation that would designate one
newspaper in each county as the one
in which all legal publications of all
kinds must be printed, is coptem-
plated by the leaders here, it became
known today. .- ... y
Under the plan outlined, the law
would become operative on July
first next, on which Governor. Fra
zier, by proclamation or otherwise,
would designate one newspaper for
a period of 18 months. .,x
In the next general election, peo-
pie would vote for the newspaper
In 2 which all legal publications
woud be published for the succeed
ing two years. This would include
mortgage foreclosures, probate court
notices, in fact everything in the
form of legal publications.

was very low and his chances for

the road to recovery, though it will
be several weeks before he will be
able to do business in The Tribune

Ten days of fever running from 102
to 106 has loft him In a very weak
condition, but he was game through
it all, and promises to get back just
as soon as his legs are strong
enough to hold him up. We have
done our best to get out a newsy pa
per during his illness, but found it
impossible to keep up the old stan
dard If our readers will hold of.

Lyman Abbott left /. last Sunday
night for Minneapolis where he
will spend the next six weeks or

He goes to work and study In the
hopes of getting down all the fine
points in the tonsorial business.
Lyman has been employed of and
on at the local barber shops dur
ing the past few years and has al
ready gained considerable know

a few weeks at the college we are
sure that he will return a full

a car of oats, one car of screenings
and some other grain and feed.
VIM. E. Dunnell, president of the
company, estimates the total loss at
100000. The grain and feed was
entirely covered by insurance, and
the elevators about half covered,
Mr.. Dunnell states that the eleva-
tors will be rebuilt just as soon a.
climatic conditions will warrant.
The mill has been shut down tenn
porarily, but will be reopened next
week, when the manufacture Of the
famous Snow White nour will be re-
sumed. Cars OF wheat will be run
up close to the mill, which was not
damaged In the least by the blaze.
and the grain will be run into the
mills by means of an elevator.
The fire was discovered In the
driveway of the big elevator and
within few moments the hlaze had
gone up the shaft, breaking out at
the top of the structure. The fire de-
partment was called out Immediate

structure. A slight wind was blow

mill from destruction. AS the top
Of the elevators burned, the grain
ran out in great golden piles on the
ground. Not a great deal of grain
was actually burned although It was
all watersoaked and damaged by

Az one may imagine, the af plays an important part in the taAc husiugFs and after having used very make of automobile imaginable tlc ucqstlon was finally solved by run rmg Cadillacs exclusively.
 The manager says. We have had i'm constant use for tho past year. five Cadillac ears making the daily run over the iG0-mile grind and we feel as though we owe Rabbit Bros. and the Cadillac company n voluntary state ncut as Co the true worth of the car. WC have used many makes of cars in aIr business, some costing as much as
 1000 more than the Cadillac and have yet to find It's equal. regardless of price.
 We have one car now that has run over GO 900 miles, with a repair bill tuiust it Of S75. This we consider re- uarkable as tho run testg the car to tNc airlost. sometimes carrying besides Tho full load. two or three trunks and si,tcascs. We will always stand by the f7ifhml old Cadillacs."
 Tho Apache trail is one of Arizona s numerous wonders and well worth the
