WYOMJNGREADY
TO GO DRY ON
TUESDAY NEXT
CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 27 (by
Associated Press).—Wyoming, long
the oasis of this section of the west,
will enter the ranks of prohibition
states next Tuesday. Sale and manu
facture of liquor within the state will
cease on that date regardless of
whether national prohibition is ef
fective in the nation.
Under terms of the constitutional
amendment adopted by the voters at
last November’s election, Wyoming
would have gone dry January 1, 1920.
When the legislature met last January
however, it was deemed advisable to
put the state law into effect July 1,
this year, at the same time that it ap
peared national war time prohibition
would be effective. A law was passed
by the legislature authorizing this.
In addition to the power placed by
tl-e stae law in the hands of a state
prohibition commisioner, there will be
a law enfrocement league, privately
-financed and privately operated to en
force the new law. This league al
ready has begun the work of keeping
Wyoming free of illegal manufacture
and sale of liquor after July 1.
State house gossip is that Fred L.
Crabbe , now superintendent of the
Wyoming Anti-Saloon League, will be
chosen prohibition commissioner.
“Not only bootlegging but commer
cial traffic in liquor must cease in ac
cordance with the wishes of the peo7
pie.” said Mr. Crabbe in a statement
to The Associated Press. “The votei'3
gave the largest per capita dry ma
jority of any state in the union and
they are going tp see that the law will
be enforced. The law as passed by the
legislature is one of the most drastic
of its kind.”
Saloons in Wyoming now pay a
' combined revenue of $500,000 for the
privilege of operating. In the face of
the approaching “dry spell” breweries
are turning to other lines. Most of
them will manufacture “soft” drinks
Data gathered in the three largest
cities in the state—Sheridan, Casper
and Cheyenne—shows virtually every
barroom and saloon ha3 been spoken
for by proprietors of candy shops, soft
drink parlors, cafes, music stores and
restaurants.
Saloon men are cleaning out their
stocks as rapidly as possible. It is
stated,/with authority that respectable
citizens of the state who lay in a mod
erate supply of liquor now for their
own use after July 1 will not be mo
lested, but the authorities have an
nounced there will be eternal and vigi
lant warfare waged on the man who
seeks to buy now and sell later.
Mail order business practically is
at a standstill, the Reed law having
stopped much of the importation into
nearby states.
RAILWAY BfclNb UKbfcD
STEWART TO HYDER
A railway from Stewart, B. C., to
Hyder, Alaska, thence up Salmon
river valley and back into the .min
eralized zone on the British side of
the line is being promulgated, says
the Cassier News published at Stew
art, B. C. is understood that a
charter will shortly be requested of
the Canadian government and that
private enterprise will build It with
out any government guarantee, if
there should be any diiculty in ob
taining the backing of the govern
ment.
It is pointed out that a large ton
nage can be obtained immediately
for such a railway, and in the course
of a few months the tonnage would be
such as to assuro the promoters that
the first cost of the line would be
paid off in a comparatively short
time.
Construction of this would have the
result of Increasing activity in the
Salmon river district; the production
of large tonnage and in bringing mil
lions of dollars Into British Columbia.
Not only are tho ore bodies of the
Salmon very large in extent, as al
ready proved by what development
has taken place, but the values in
silver and gold are unusually high for
such large leads as have been ex
posed.
No one should be without an elec
tric plate, especially the kind with 8
different heats. Northwestern Hard
ware company.

Of the hours of backbreaking work
before the family wash is on the line—the
|| hands red and burned from strong soaps ||
and washing powders, the offensive odor ||
penetrating the whole house—Precious
|| time wasted that could be utilized in
|| pleasanter and more important duties.
You can eliminate this disagreeable
wash day in your home by sending your §
work to the |j
| Modern | aundry |
|| where your clothes will be washd and fin- ||
|| ished, or rough dried with less wear and ||
;| tear on the fabric and in a more sanitary
| way than could be done at home. Try it ||
for a month and be convinced of the time
saving, money saving, health protection it
|| means to the whole family to get rid of ||
Wash Day. ||
