The lonp; expeeted "bone dry" bill ban mucin its appearance in the house. It is n long; and involved looking instrument, to luck at; but according to Dr. An tlerson, who is its house father, it i not hard to understand. The bill does not contain the "search, and seizure" clause, which lias been so much talked of ilurinc the last few months, and the law in that regard will remain as it is, un less the hill is changed during its course through 'lie two houses. It is made unlawful, however, for any person not a common carrier to transport liipior into the state either for personal use or for the use of any other person. This will stop the practice which has grown up of peo ple making trips by automobile or otherwise and returning with their suitcases full of liquor. Some Exceptions Made. Common carriers are prohibited from transjM)rtintr licpipi, except un der license and permit from the dis trict Attorney, who is ' permitted to make certain exceptions as to retail wholesale druggists for medicinal scientific, manufacturing and sacra mental purposes. Liquor may bo used for medicinal purposes upon the written proscrip tion of. a physician, while tho user is also required to sign an affidavit to the effect that it is to, be. used for medicinal purposes only. Drunkenness is also made a misde meanor with ji fine ranging from $10 to $100, or imprisonment p to 00 days, or both as n penalty for convic tion. Carries KmerBdicy Clause. Tlie bill carries an emergency clause, and if passed with it attached will become .immediately effective upon the governor's signature. Hospitals,, public .infirmaries, la. bornfories, medical colleges, licensed and practicing physicians, licensed and practicing dentists,' pharmacists Olid wholesale druggists may handle ethyl alcohol under permits granted by the district attorneys of the re spective. . counties. Ethyl alcohol may be sold tit. retail only upon a li censed and " practicing . physician's prescription, and .no' person is per mitted to buy more than two quarts in any four successive weeks. The ailment and the tinme and address of the patient must be included iu the prescription. Doctors may prescribe intoxicating liquors to their patients, but they are held liable, and the il legal prescribing can be construed as a sale. , . Milking of Wines lcnultted. Vinegar, unfennonted wines and wines for sacramental purposes may be made in the state, and the whole salers who supply manufacturing con cerns of flavoring extracts and sim ilar commodities may continue to supply ethyl alcohol, but under the same restrictions Hint exist in the original bill. Ethyl alcohol may also be sold under certain restrictious for mechanical und scientific purposes. One of tlie interesting side lights, is its provision making it unlawful for a person to become intoxicated on anv highway, street or public place or in the person's own home or the home of friends, which sounds the death knell for so many of the parties which have been highly popular since the state went dry. The provision carries with it a penalty of a fine of not less than $10 nnd no more than $100 and a jail sentence of not more than fifty days I'ETROORAD, Jan. 17. A dram atic clash between M. J'rntopopoff, minister of the interior, and M. Rod zianko, president of the duma, is de scribed by the Novoc Vremya. Ac cording to this story, M. l'rotopopoff approached M. Hodztnnko during' the Sew Year's reception at Tsarskoc and olfcrcd his hand in a conciliatory wuv. The head of tlie duma turned away with a curt "never." The friends of the minister s that a duel is inevitable. QUESTIONS Of WASHINGTON", Jnif. 17.

An nouncement that the Southern Pa- lflc company have adopted tho plan of building all Its wooden freight cars such as box and flat cars at Its own shops and will make them from umber produced along Its lines, was made yesterday by President Wil liam Sproulo, who returned from Xcw York and other eastern nitles. Favor Homo Industry. "The plan," said 'Mr. Sproule, "is in furtherance of our policy to favor homo Industry and will provide a good market for a great deal of west ern lumber. The construction will be douo principally at our Sacramen to shops. Wo plan to build as soon as. possible 2000 box, 450 stock and 00 flat cars, these added to the 2700 new refrigerator cars Just ordered by the Pacific Fruit Express compauy of which about 1000 will bo built In California and will Rive us 0050 now freight cars for the coming sea son, enough to ward off the hard ships through shortage of railroad equipment experienced this season provided wo can get our cars return ed to us after they are unloaded nt destinations. Tho Southern Pacific as you know, Is half owner of the Pacific Express." Mr. Sproule said that tho prosperity of the cast and middle west Is not merely coming here, but Is already hero. Tho pros perity we have here, he said, is dif ferent In nature from the east, but It is just as positive. Our mineral in dustries arc very prosperous. The In creased wealth of the east has pro duced a crop of consumers who are paying good prices for wheat, barley, fruit vegetables and lumber that wo have to offer. Never before has there been such a vast multitude of people who are buyers of. luxuries. The spending' power -of - the east has holped- us, and is helping us, for we are the sellers, they are tho buyers. ' Kamius lnciva.se. 'The earnings of the Southern Pa cific company which have Improved along with other business are giving us an opportunity to spend much money for betterments upon our property while there are no new ex tensions contemplated, the shop em ployes are working full force at full time and tho maintenance of way crews are also busy. Wo are making heavy expenditures in laying new rails, re-ballasting tracks, widening tunnels for greater freight clear ances, and other similar improve ments. All this moans employment of larger forces. It means enlarged payrolls for our men, and enlarge ment of payrolls means Increased cir culation of money for the communi ties we serve. "I look forward to a continuance of the country's prosperity for some time to come, peace or no peace. The wave of prosperity that has rosulted in part from improved domestic con ditions and in part from the Euro pean wrr l:as gained too much mo mentum to bo easily stopped and even after tho declaration of poace its forward movement will proceed for a considerable length without in terruption. . To Help tho WcM. "As I'M' as the Southern Pacifl' is concerned it is doing Its share as the largest Institution in the west to contribute to prosperity out here. Its principal contributions are added employment in Increased payrolls, larger home industry purchases and new car building at home. These are all In conjunction with our efforts to keep our service up to the highest standard." MADE IN ENGLAND WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.

In an nouncing the aware, ccretury Dan iels said the department had made every effort to secure reductions in prices which would enable it to give a contract to American concerns, but had failed to obtain satisfactory bids. The question ot delivery aside from the cent of the shells, was an Important factor in favor of Hari flelds. On the 4S00 fourteen-lnnh projectiles, delivery wan guaranteed In nineteen months and for the 3000 sixteen Inch, sixteen months was specified. Time proposals from Am erican bidders were approximately twice those of the British company. POSSESSIONS I OF WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.
