Express Wagon to
Supplant Saloons
Saloon Men in Dry Centers Concen
trate on Nearest Wet
Places.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—(Special
to Gateway)—Is the express com
pany’s little red wheeled wagon to
supplant the saloon as the nation’s
bartender. Where states have gone
dry the wets concentrate their wares
and forces in the nearest wet center,
i
say the drys. Wet leaders will not ad
mit it.
| On the Pacific Coast Washington
arid Oregon have gone dry and British
Columbia has prohibition as an issue
and the wets are moving their plants
to California.
uregon ana wasnmgion win nave
just as much liquor, but it will be
manufactured outside their states,”
is the wets’ belief.
Just a little north of dry Colorado
the wets are constructing large
warehouses and shipping centers,
chief of which is to be in Cheyenne,
Wyo. Idaho, also dry, likely will be
, served from there, too.
“Their plan will be a success for a
time, perhaps,” said E. C. Dinwiddie,
national legislative superintendent for
the anti-saloon league. “In certain
sections they may withstand the dry
wave for a while.
“When the Webb-Kenyon bill gets
into smooth operation, however; when
its constitutionality has been tested
everywhere and its loop-holes plugged
up, it will be good night for the lit
tle red express wagon with the red
eye aboard.
“If the wets want any vehicle at
all, they’ll have to take the water
wagon.”
“Facts show,” said Hugh F. Har
vey, national legislative leader for
the wets, that where the saloon goes
out, other means of distributing
liquor come in. But this nation isn’t
going dry so fast as you might im
agine.
“Many states that go dry have been
largely dry for many years under
local option. And then perhaps the
drys remember a little election up In
Minneapolis.
“I wouldn’t say quite yet,that it’s
time to hunt up a substitute for the
saloon. But at that, the express
plan sounds feasible. It probably will
serve until the tide turns in the other
direction.”
PORT WELLS, ALASKA,
HAS SOME GOOD MINES
S. A. Pepper Returns From Northern
( amps and Tells of Develop
ment There.
Port Wells, Alaska, will prove one
of the most valuable quartz mining
centers in the North, according to S. ‘
A. Pepper, a pioneer o|>erator who is
in Seattle on business connected with
some mining property he holds near
Port Wells. There are thrt. bip
properties that will be on a paying
basis by next spring, two of them
gold and the third copper, he declares,
and he expects other claims to be de
veloped.
"The Granite Mining company
property near Port Wells will prove
one of the big mines of the North,”
he said yesterday at the Northern.
“Jafet Lindcberg and J. PL Chilberg
have a good proposition there. I have
just received a letter from a friend of
mine, who is at the mine and who
says that the ore body has been
struck and that it justifies the hopes
of the owners. The copper mining
property on Knikht island, recently
purchased by Martin Welsh, a
Victoria, B. C., contractor, will be a
big producer, as the ore is very rich,
and there is an extensive body of it.”
Mr. Pepper has taken on a bonded
option basis the gold property claims
at Hummer bay near Port Wells,
which were located by Henry Bailey
and his two partners. Mr. Pepper
has already let the contract for de
| veloping work, including 200 feet of
tunnel, and this spring he will take in
: a twenty-stamp mill to reduce the
' ore.—Post Intelligencer;

And no one is siwashed here.
