I'eople who are opposed to prohibition declare Ijt cannot be puforced. Those who fa vor It claim with more reasonable assurance It can be enforced. He- cause It happens to ! the liquor trallle we are fighting Is no reason t should form an exception. Is It ustlce to uny man, woman or child to allow the saloon to control? The llagrant abuses which have Jicen ere atei under Its dominion Issomethlug nppalllng. Our supreme court decisions have declared most emphatically the sa- oon has no Inherent right to live What does our government a mount to If It cannot control the lawless elements of society? It has Ihtii practically proven that almost every evil under the shining sun Is caused directly or Indirectly y Intoxicants. Of course this state ment will be denied by those who are paid to work la the Interest of rum. Are not our metropolitan dail les largely responsible for the attl- ude taken on this (iiestKu of the aloon? If saloons did not exist and law and order prevailed what could hese publishers till their columns with? Divorces, suicides, crimes and asunltles would Imj reduced to such au extent tney would nave to find some other employment. There Is nothing prohibits better han prohibition. Iook at .San Francisco at the time oftheearth- uake In l!i.. All well rememlter an order was Issued by federal authority d close every saloon In the city for a pecilled time, and no letter city ould be found In the Tutted States han this city during that iktIoiI, howlug clearly what euforced pro hibition can accomplish. As soon as he drinking places were allowed to oen the change was reeogulwd at once. We believe there are good tubabl- ants enough In every city to thwart he plans of the baser portions, and view of this fact more vigilance ought to Ik exercised. People In general are too Indifferent and apa- hetic. When they become once roused by continued agitation there will be a land slide In favor of pro hibitory law. What Institution In the whole world has the right of way equal to the saloon, wherever Is allowed to live by law and If here Is the least suggestion of re trlctlng Its privileges the rum deal- rs utter a protest that can be heard ir n nd near.

Tbe peach crop will be unusually heavy at Pal Isades; thinning Is tielng resorted to In every part of that section and there Is no longer any question as to tbe first estimate that tbe crop would exceed all past crops Mng accurate. Tbe apples all through the (Jraud valley are making a splendid growth In one or two sections the hall did slight damage about a month ago showing slight marking on the fruit as a result. Tbe crop Is so heavy, however, that the apples must be thinned, so that there will be actually no loss because of the storm as these apples will be thinned out. There has been some trouble, also, wltb in sect pests, and the ranchers are spraying more than usual at this season to eliminate damage to tbe fruit in this connection. The season so far has been unusually dry and rain would help clean up things and settle the dust. In the meantime the ranchers are organizing to sprinkle the country roads, keeping the dust from tbe fruit by this means. (letting Ready For Fruit Crop Our Seattle correspondent says that the railroads of tbe northwest are making preparations to move the 1!10 fruit crop, which will be the largest ever harvested In thlssectlou. With many acres of new orchards In bearing and fine crops on the old ones, the output from the fruit grow ing sections will tax the capacity of tbe railroads to supply refrigerator cars. Uallroaa tranic omciais nave been making careful surveys of the orchards In eastern Washington, Or egon and Idaho, with a view oi sizing up the situation, and have ordered more cars than were ever In-fore used in handling tbe crop. Wenatchee, for example, expects to ship !),r00 cars of fruit this year at an average of f 700 a car, which means an output of $2,4.10.000 from that thriving valley. The Yaklrna coun try, the Hood Ulver country, and other leading fruit growing sections will surpass this output, and the railroads will be kept busy. Traffic men declare they feel under an obli gation to handle tbe fruit crop as expeditiously as possible, for the railroads are each year advertising widely tbe possibilities of fruit grow ing In the northwest, and they real ize that having once brought the settler here, It Is up to them to help market his product. The fruit crop Is one of the great crop movements which makes for railroad prosperity and the railroad men, knowing on what side their bread Is buttered, will do their la-st to help the grower market bis product. The Boiled Water Fad Br Walt Mason A poor old broken wanderer came reeling to my door; tbe burrs were In his whiskers, and his feet were tired and sore; his rngs, of all the rags ou earth, were certainly the worst, and I heard him mutter sadly: "I am per ishing of thirst!" On speedy feet I hastened wltb a dipper to tbe well. and I offered him the water, but be gave a frenzied yell: and he waved me from his presence with a hand grotesquely soiled, crying: "Don't you read the papers? Drinking water hould be boiled! In a single drop of water, deadly genu Is plied on gorin get a microscope and see tbeni watch the measly critters squirm! 1 hall ne'er again be happy till with water I am filled, but you'll simply have to boll It and It ought to be distilled." I had heard so much of germs, so much twaddle of bacilli. broached In scientific terms, that my lnuirt was hot aud restless, and my eyes were seeing red, and I heard the onstaut rumbling of the pulleys In my bend; so I smote that aged pil grim, and I clove him to the chine, aud his pangs of dissolution eased bis aching heart of mine. Went In Autos Returned on Ties lly automobile from Seattle to lleno was the trip made by ten Scut tle mlllllonalres, or near millionaires, to see the big fight. They were the first Senttleltes on the scene, but a ratulond went later, and altogether there were several score of local sportsmen at the ringside. They are now enroute home, and as they till took coin to place on the white man, you may know whether they are coming In Pullmans or over the ties. Seattle Correspondent. Davis Gets 18 Months II. S.
