When the per capita law was pass
ed, l.cinrnou was allowed two sa
loons. There was intense rivalry
for the two licenses. A proposl
l.cu that the city go into the sa
loon business was pc.t to a vote
■aid failed.
Then the Lemmon Civic asje
cation was formed after the city
In. t spring adopted tl.e commis^Ton
form of government. The associa
tion included men of rnauy different
w;.!ks of life and business. Minis
ter were among the membership.
Tiie association was given a saloon
li'-ense. A manager, one of the
strongest prohibition workers in
'he city, was appointed. He re
ceives no salary. The two bar
k. fcpers receive such good salaries
t:imt graft of any kin'l is eliminated.
I!y the association's rules the Kile
"f liquor is not pushed. A blacklist
contains the names of persons who
cannot buy liquor here. Patrons who
once show a disposition to look
even one time too frequently into
the cup that cheers are blacklisted.
Known drunkards may not enter
the saloon: neither may persons
whose families are known to be in
want. Mayor B. R. Watt is one of
the strongest boosters of Lemmon's
municipal saloon.
"Since the saloon started last
July," said Mayor Watt today "it
hns ;:iven satisfactory results from
every point of view. When we
had eight saloons here you can
readily imagine what element dom
inated our nolitics. We have ellmin
a ted nearly all of the factional
fighting and are all now working
for the best Interests of our cltv.
We have practically no drunkenoss
in Lomraon. Certainly no man has
become a drunkard in Lemon since
the municipal saloon started. I
would sure recommend it as being
far above private ownership."

askan philosopher, who has been
managing the Indian co-operative
store at the village of Klukwan for
several months, up till about live
weeks ago, when he returned to
his home in Skagway, brings
the first nt,-ws of a strange story
that is being told by Indians who
arrived in Klukwan recently
from Dalton Post, in Northern Brit
ish Columbia.
The tale as told is that an Isi
idan, well known In the vicinity of
Dalton Post, where he was born and
reared, was taken sick last fall and
after a time passed away, but 4S
hours after his supposed death,
when his relatives wfere preparing
for his burial, he arose and pro
claimed himself Messiah, and where
ts before his demise he was familiar
«Ith no language but that of his
own tribe, upon his -resurrection he
was able to speak flut ntl> i,i Eng
I'sh, Latin and many other tongue.!.
Upou his return to consciousness
:he Indian told those gathered
•iround that while his boii.v lay iu a
state of coma his spit it had been
transported to Heaven, where he
was taken into a houso where all
those present, save the ones in
oharge, sang songs and where he
was instructed in a full knowledge
of English and other lcnguages.
Since Ills recovery ne uas
gone around anions the scattered
and remote Indian villages of the
interior preaching, instructing his
followers that they shall not
call the Sabbatli day Sunday, but
Special Day, during the hours of
which they shall neither cook nor
do any other kind of labor; that
they shall follow afttr him, but

Heavenward instead of toward
tne earth; that they shall crc-'s
themselves with their left hands in
stead of their right, and lias de
