INTKRKSTlXli DATA
The proof *f the pudding is in the eating. The proof of prohibition is
not in the blatant cry of a few hooters, who think oely of their thirst irre
spective of all other interests in the world.
Cora Frances Stoddard, executive secretary of the Scientific Temper
ance Federation has made a thorough investigation of the effect of prohibi
tion in .Massachusetts. She takes for her investigation the seven wet years
1912-1S. Inclusive, and the two dry years 1920-21. Comparing the two per
iods. here .s the result:
Drunkeness among men, decreased. 55 per cent
Drunkeness among women, decreased, ti9 per cent.
Men in jail, decrease, 62 per cent
Womeu in jail, decrease, 60 per cent.
Offences against public order, decrease, 27 per cent.
Offences against person, decrease. 19 per cent.
Women oltenders, decrease. 39 per cent.
Neglected children, decrease. 22 per cent.
Non-support of families, decrease, 31 per cent.
Poor at State Almshouse, decrease, 64 per cent.
Poor at Boston Almshouse, decrease, 52 per cent.
l>eaths from alcoholism, decreased. 65 per cent.
Venereal diseases, decreased, 35 per cent.
Committments to State Farm, decreased. 75 per cent.
With the furth orebesrroP .t(wfl s No.iasfA
With the further observation that where before prohibition came in
IS per cent, of the dependent children had drunken fathers and 3 per cent,
bad drunken mothers—now 1 per cent, of such children have drunken
lathers and there were no drunken mothers of dependent children in the
years 1920 and 1921. School attendance has improved, children are bet
ter fed and better clothed. But the men, who cry for beer and wine, are
not affected by tbe cry of dependent and starving childreu if only they can
get their drinks.
No, prohibition in Massaahusetts has not brought the millenium; It
has not stopped drinking, but there is no national movement inaugurated
within the past 50 years, which has done more to give men and women
and especially children arf hopeful an outlook toward the future years as
the prohibition amendment.
President Emeritus Eliot of Harvard University, speaking on this lint
said: "Evidence has accumulated on every hand that prohibition has pro
moted public health, public happiness and industrial efficiency. This evi
ueuce couies from manufacturers, physicians, nurses of all sorts, school,
factory, hospital and district, and from social workers o fmauy races and
religions laboring daily in a great variety of fields. These results are ob
tained, in spite of tbe impeifect enforcement in some communities of the
higthteenth Amendment."
U lLLOW CREEK ON A RA.MJ'AGE
According to the opinion of prominent engineers and operators th«
Willow Creek mining district it no longer a prospect. It is rattier a caini
o( proven merit. The values already obtained, and the extent of Ike de
veloped properties Indicate that the camp is destined to be a big one. Twen
ty-one mines -ud prospects that show exceptional pay at the surface have
been or are being opened up durlug the present season. Among the many
r^oguizing mining engiueers who pronounce this district of high rauK are
B; run Wilson, former general manager of the Fidalgo Copper Mine, and W.
E. Dunkle, a Guggenheim engineer, who has just returned from an examin
ation of some of the properties at Willow Creek.
une of the oldest developed properties at Willow Creek is the Mabel
Mine, now being operated by Horning and Barthoff. Some very rich ore it
oeuig milled from the Mabel, but the milling facilities do not meet t..e de
mands, since the major part of the rock is not free-milling. A large pari
of the values are going into the tailings, to be treated later. In fact the
experience of the Willow Creek operators has couvlncd them that it will bt
necessary to add concentration to the present milling facilities to save tn«
values. Some of the rock that is known to be as rich as $3UU per ton plate.
no more than $104. A great deal of «ucb ore is being run through to get
the free gold and the tailings saved pendiug further development before in
diQerent properties. Kven last winter some owners operated until January
is to be sure of tl.e ore and its character, install the right kind of processes,
and to avoid wild-catting.
Due to wagon road improvements made during tbe season, develop
ment and mining will be carried forward during the winter ou at least seve'1
differnt proprties. Even last winter some owners operated until January
trst. Winter operatiou is going to open up an entirely new era. One ot
the most extensive pieces of development to be carried forward this winter
is a thousand-foot tunnel that will cut the formation at a vertical depth of
l.fteen hundred feet ou the Gold Bullion properties. This, according to Dr
Alfr' d Brooks and other eugineers. should prove the existence of deep-seat
ed pay. According to tbe Anchorage Timee, the extensive wagon road im
provements made recently in the Willow Creek d.strict make it possible tc
leave Anchorage at 2:15 in the afternoon and. traveling by train to Wasilla
and thence by automobile, to reach any part of tin? camp before night.
The mines in operation and the prospect; whi:h show good pay at sur
face include the following: the Gold Bullion, the Lucky Shot, the Don Rae.
Independence, Mabel, New Mabel prospect. Consolidated Mines, Drumhel
ler. Bob Hatcher, Don Rae prospect, Dave Skarstad, Home Builders, John
Burr prospect, Mike Sherry prospect, Ole Jenson pnspect. Little Gem pros
pect, Webfoot prospect, Long Holland prospect, LeRoy, Gol4 Coin and Cor
nucopia propects.
With additional facilities for getting up timber and mine essentials '
Willow Creek bids fair to emerge in the spriug one of the permanent big
things in Alaska, and next season should have several hundred men at work
on developing veins that appear permanent, deep-seated and highly prolific
Id values.—Alaska Pathfinder.
WHAT'S THE USE?
A year or two ago In a nearby city there died a man who had spent a
busy life. He had reached the age of sixty or so, and through hard work
and good business sense had accumulated all the money necessary to last a
lifetime, and by far more than enough to last him through the remaining
years that appeared to be coming to him. Dut one day he died. If he hpd
enjoyed life, it was at work and accumulating his means. But it so hap
pens that he had not taken the enjoyment out of life that he really longed
for, but refused to take.
Rounding his sixtieth year or so, he decided to leave his business cares
to others he had trained. He went at preparing to enjoy his remaining
years just as he had gone at building up his large and well-paying busines.
He did not take a re-inventory of himself, or submit himself to a verdict by
experts who could have told him much. Suddenly In the midst of his plans
lie was called. His business, as it happens, is safe, but his fortune has
been in litigation ever since, causing family hatreds and the like. An1 so
it turns out, what's the use?
There are men of your acquaintance who are at that period of life when
they should begin to think about knocking off and receiving some returns
for the years of toil. The span is shortening rapidly. About them are many
ways of dispensing good that would keep them active, while ahead is the
whole world, little of which they have seen. They are entitled to have a
new inventory of themselves, lay out their plans to make a few years play |
years, and it may be that there will be left a period for their old activity to |
which they can return with renewed energy. But when the score is tied
and the game is about to be called on account of darkness, what is there to
the game if all one can say Is, "What's the use?"
To many, in fact to nearly all of us there never comes the day when we
can pick up and walk away from business, and the cares that have kept us
at the grind, and go out to play. And strangely enough, the vision for
some reason or other comes core readily and frequently 10 those who, l.y
circumstance, cannot turn the trick..—Ex.
