INTIMATED PRESIDENT WILSON
WILL SOON LIFT WARTIME
BAN ON LIQUOR.
SALOONS MAY HAVE RESPITE
SEVERAL LOCAL DEALERS ARE
READY TO REORGANIZATION

After Attorney General Palmer had

Iufned over TO PresluenI wilson
pIonuay afternoon tor his signature.
Although Lew days beI0Ie IN an

strike as the war was not yet over,
IN his leCJer TRANSMITTED TO congress
vetoIng the nquor measure he stated
mat Tie war was at an end and there
was no further need OF leglslaIlon OF
TINS sort as war time prohibition. r
The veto came to the house Monday
afternoon and Cne members proceeded
co carry tine measure over The pfe5i-
dent head by an overwhelming vote
uefore adjournment. Tuesday after-
noon the senate repassed The measure
with a speed tina Unjust have made
Wilson'S head swim.
In this connection it is strongly
ninted that the president will soon
lift the ban on wartime prohibition.
Good legal authorities say this cannot
DE done until peace treatles have BEEN
signed with both Germany and
Austria. The liquor men are grasp
ing at straw and hope to get IN
lew good hicks before nationwide
prohibition becomes effective Jan. l6,
1920.
In anticipation that something OF
this sort might transpire a number OF
the local saioonkeepers have their aO-
plicatIons on file Tor the granting OF
license. Should the ban be ilIted their
period in business will be OF short
duration. Under the provisions OF
the Sank Centre City Charter all
liquor license run from July hrst and /
must be issued for a period OF ope
year. Should the Sank Centre city.
council grant licenses to the local
dealers they will be compelled to pay
for the time elapsing since July tlrsS.
Attorney General nlltono of Mime
sofa has ruled that it will be per-
missable for the city council to re-
turn to the vendors any portion OF
their license fee remaining unearned.
In this city that would mean tnas
the amount unearned from JAM. Lib
1920 to June 80, 1920 could be re-
funded. ~ -. -:

PIONEER SAW MILL AT LITTLE
FALLS CLOSES AFTER 20
YEARS ACTIVE OPERATION

The Pine Tree manufacturing COM

script, in reference to the closing OIL
the mill says: IL
"The Pine Tree Manufacturing COM
pany whistle was blown this morning
at exactly 10 o'clock, closing a local
institution that has ben in operation
for the past % seasons. The mill was
built in 1891 and began the first sea-
sons run on April 26, 1892.
"The closing of the mill here today
does not mean the immediate cutting
off the lumber industry. The plan
er will be open for least another
year and the office of the company
will not be closed for some time. The
crew will be employed at the plant
for at least 10 days, as large
amount of work is to be done in
cleaning up.
"Massrs. r. D. Musser and G. A..
Weyerhausers came to Little Falls
in 1891 and bought the mill then
being operated on the east side of the
river. That year they started build
ing the new mill which has since
been in operation. Mr.. Musser came
from Muscatine, Ia, and Mr.. Weyers-
haeuser came from Rock Island. Since
their arrival here they hav always
been for greater Little Falls and
have given unreservedly to anything
that was for the betterment of the
community or the welfare of the PEG
pie in the community. There has
always existed friendly feeling be-.
tween the employees and the employers
The owners of the company took pride
today in saying that they considered
the men a capable and reliable crew
and had always enjoyed an associa-
