THE CONTROL OF LIQUOR.

The promptness of the repealists of Washington State in pledging the public that suitable law Tor controlling the liquor traffic will be enacted III tune to be effective when National Prohibition is wpeo off the Federal constitution is timely and deserving of commendation. The possibility that repeal VIII be effective within the next 60 days is not by any means remote That will compel every State to either retain Prohibition, if it now has State dry law. to draft a new statute providing for liquor control or to allow ndiscrimnate sale Of liquor without any regulation. Yet is does not appear that most State Legislature aware of their problem Only six States have even taken steps to construct a suitable regulatory law Connecticut IS probably the only State which has on the statute books a thoroughly scientific and workable system for the orderly regulation of liquor.
 The Connecticut law planned by a commits sion distinguished citizens modelled largely on the excellent Quebec system and represents careful attempt to meet the social challenge Of legalzed liauor It permits the sale of beer and wines in clubs and restaurants. Beer only is to be sold in taverns And for liquor the citizens of Connecticut will have to go to licensed store and buy pack age for consumption off the premises. Elaborate provisions are made for keeping liquor and politics separate
 There can be no doubt that repeal will not solve our liquor prolem unless we adopt enlightened regulatory liquor laws There is wealth of data available in the experience of foreign countries But liquor control law cannot be manufactured overnight Neither a satisfactory law be had simply by borrowing outright the scheme of Ontario, British Columbia Quebec or Sweden, any other country. Suggestions be drawn from foreign systems but they have to be adjusted to local conditions in each community.
 Washington State is not yet prepared to control regulate the traffic in liquor. Its old State liquor law was repealed last November. If it is to meet the situation produced by repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, it is not too early to make start right now in drafting a system for enactment by its State Legislature
 Alaska, of course, has still the Alaska Bone Dry Law and will have until it is wiped off the books by Congress when the voters of the country shall have administered the death blow to Prohibition. In the expectation that Delegate Dmond will be able to have the local statute repealed the Alaska Legislature last Spring passed a law giving the Governor and Attorney General full power to make and enforce such regulations as they deemed suitable and necessary to control the liquor business.

Freight Rates and Prices.
(New York Herald Tribune.)

tNeW YOrK Herald IrlDune.)
 The decision of the Interstate Commerce Com mission refusing to order a banket reduction of railroad rates will, we believe prove popular one. The public attitude toward the railroads has under gone a distinct revolution since the days when their chaStisement any pretext brought cheers. Now there exists general realization not only that the railroads of late at least have been more snned against than shining, but also that, the backbone of the countrys financial structure, every has stake in their well-being
 However, the popularity of the decision is one thing, it's justification quite another For the latter the commission cites the fact that the present rate level is more than 20 per cent below that of 1920 and more than 10 per cent under that immediately following the rate cut of 1922 It expresses the be- lief that present rates, whole, are mot de- pressing the volume of traffic business of the country and that with a blanket reduction mo greater than 10 per cent unless there was greater increase in traffic than seems probable, and unless large additional Government aid ex- tended many more carriers would be forced into Ireceiverships or reorganization, with consequent serious losses to investors in railroad securities, among whom many savings banks and life in- surance companies"
 While it is true, the commission points out, that the freight rate level is still relatively higher than the commodity price level it also is true that under the circumstances this is as it should be. Freight rates under regulation do not rise in propor tion when prices rise On thS contrary they may follow opposite course, happened in 1922 and subsequently, since they predicated not on bus ness opportunity but a fair return to the rail- roads Why, then, when prices drop, should they be made to join the procession? Justice demands that if railroad earnings restricted in period Iof prosperity they should be protected in period Iof adversity. This line of reasoning is implicit in the commissions dictum that commodity prices alone not the controlling factor in determining the reasonableness of rates. It does the majority lof the board credit

Wandering Lakes and Lost Cities.
(New York Times.)

While the Western. world has been worrying over its troubles, Sven Hedn's Sno-Swedish Expedition has been for six years, and over front of 2600 miles, studying part of the earth that has reverted to the desert. In small units these Signalmen of science have carried their researches and re- ported back to the main army of science their discoveries One little group worked at an amazing height of 18000 feet making special study of valleys where glaciers of the Ice Age once formed a great inland sea, which has left its beach lines high up on the hillside Fragments of it still remain in wandering lakes" that shift their places in the sands. One is mentioned which has returned to it's old bed-a distance of nearly fifty miles-and brought back to life city where Marco Polo once paused to make ready for crossing the Desert of Lop in which, he relates, travellers led astray by spirit voices sounds of various instruments especially drums.
 From another area word is brought that a lake has now returned to resurrect city that once entertained strangers with such hospitality the West does not know. There Marco Polo found a "noblest of cities surrounded by country in which were vineyards and farms and gardens, where there was abundance of everything-cotton, flax, hemp and corn-and where people lived by trade and handicrafts (but no warriors). Today only the broken clay walls of this deserted city rise in the midst of the desert. Lou Ian" will never flourish again does Hop Nor"

LIPPINCOTT AND
 FRIEND LEAVE FOR
 EAST AFTER HUNT

After completing successful hunting trip in the Yukon Terri tory and on Chichagof Island, or which they were engaged for over month, J. w. Lippincott, of the Lippincott Publishing Company, ot Philadelphia, and Major L. Waller also of Philadelphia, left this morn ing on the Princess Louise to re- turn to the East
 While hunting in the Yukon Ter ritory for certain race specimens of mountain goat the two Eastern men were successful in obtaining the variety they desired after much search.
 Both MT. Lippincott and Major Waller got the limit of two brown bear during their eight-day hunt on Chichagof Island with Joe Ibach and Harry Nelson as guides. They made the trip in the Yakobi, Capt Tom Smith, returning to Juneau yesterday morning.
 Though I have hunted in many parts of the world, I have never seen country as rough as that en- countered on Chichagof. We en- ioyed the hunt tremendously and are going home satisfied with the results, MT. Lippincott said.
 In addition to the game pro- cured, MT Lippincott obtained a fine collection of rodents for the American Museum of Natural His tory in Philadelphia in which he is interested.

 The fishing patrol steamer Os- prey, belonging to the U. s. Blu reau of Fisheries, arrived from Wrangell with Ward T. Bower in charge of the fisheries service in Alaska. Mr. Bowers stated that the canning season for 1913 was practically over, there remaining but a few canneries that were fin ishing the fall end of the seasons work. It was the earliest closing of the packing season for South east Alaska in the history of the country, he said. He estimated that the pack for the year would be quarter of million cases short of the year before, the total pack for the whole of Alaska would be about 4,080,000 cases.

'DEFROSTING
KELVINATOR
MADE EASY

During the limited time that low
raw material costs make possible
The present low prices on Kelvina-
tor household electric refrigerator5,
housewives are being offered one
of the greatest refrigeration values
ever made possible, according
to Pete Schmitt, of the Schmitt
Electric company, local Kelvinator
dealer, who is holding special
showing of the new models at his
showroom, $40 Main street.
I'VE have received word from
Kelvinator corporation in Detroit
that the unusually low prices we
are quoting now depend entirely on
conditions in the raw materials
market and as soon as the expected
upturn in prices reaches this field
we will be forced to make an up
ward revision" the local dealer
pointed out. IN the meantime we
are fortunate in being able to offer
at exceptionally low cost in the
1888 Kelvinators some of the most
SNt6DlilS dONNdllCCo lllC CACObAN NN ~
frigeration has seen in years."
One OF the unusual developments
which distinguishes the new Kel-
vinators is a device which makes
it possible for the housewife to de-
frost her refrigerator without los
ing refrigeration or having ice
cubes melt. This is provided by a
small control panel on which are
located several switches. One OF
these switches controls the new
oefrosting arrangement. When tie
switch is thrown so that the leE-
ters DEF" show, the condensing
unit operates on defrosting cycle.
Frost will melt from the cooling
unit, but ice cubes will remain
frozen, and the proper temperature
will be maintained in the food COM
partment. When the defrosting
cycle has been completed, push of
the switch to its original position
restores normal operation.
On the control panel is also a
new feature in electric refrigeration,
a system by means of which it is
possible to stop or start operation
manually or, if the motor is over
loa0ed to stop operation automatic
ally. If The line becomes overload
ed, a switch is automatically thrown,
cutting off the current to the mo-
tor. A push of the switch restores
operation.
Numerous other features entirely
new in electric refrigeration are to
be found in the lineup of models
on display in the local showroom.

BOARD DELAYS
ACTION UPON
WEED CONTROL

Eradication of the camel thorn
pest in infected areas of the valley
was discussed quite widely at yes
terday's meeting of the board of
supervisors. At its last meeting
the board had invited ranchers and
other landowners whose lands were
overrun by this pest, to meet with
the board and discuss the problem.
B. A. Harrigan, county agricui-
tural commissioner, explained what
plans ha6 been formulated to conf
bat the pest and how 1t could be
overcome by a program financed
through the use of r. F. G. funds.
This could be done Only when these
lands were in the hands Of the
county itself and it was suggested
that such property be loaned to the
county temporarily by the owners
in order that the county might pro-
ceed toward the eradication of the
weed.
Rarrigan stated that Riverside,
Kern, Imperial and part of Tu-
lare counties were the only Sec
tions of the state to be bothered
by this pest and that in these other
counties the work had been sue
cessfully carried on to stop its
spread. Many of those present
agreed to the proposed plan but the
whole matter was laid on the table
for awhile until the money neces-
sary to carry it through was &C
tually on hand.
After q thorough discussion the
board also fixed the rate for coun-
ty advertising and awarded a COIL
tract for the printing of county
legals and the proceedings of the
board to The Westmorland Mail
for one year.
The first step in this direction
was taken when the board rejected
all bids which had been submitted
to it at an earlier meeting. With
these out of the way Supervisor
Preble made a motion that the rate
.or this advertising should be rs
cents an inch for the first print
ing, As cents for the second and
20 cents for the third. This was
adopted and was followed by an
other motion giving the contract
at this rate to The Mail. This mo-
ton also carried.
The question of printing the de-
linquent tax lists was referred to
Mont Reid, county tax collector, who
is empowered to have this work
done at a rate not to exceed that
set by the board for county print
ing and advertising.
