BILL PROPOSES LET DOWN

IN STATE DRY BARRIER SANTE FE, N. M., March 20. (U. PJ-A marked reaction to attempt- ing t otighten the state's prohibition laws has resulted in proposed legis- lation to let clown the dry barriers entirely in the New Mexico legislat- urt. '

For the first time since 1917. there has been no legislation intro- duced as a new attempt to make pro- hibition prohibit. From 1917 down to and including the 1029 session, all prohibition legislation offered in eithtr houses has been to tighten up the dry laws. '

But radical legislation has been introduced into this 1egislative ses- sion to‘ overthrow prohibition. The first wet measure provides for the establishment of liquor disptnsiaries from which the state could sell liq- uor for "non-beverage purposes."

The bill would permit the state to make 33 1-3 percent profit on the liquor and provides an appropriation of $50,000 to etstablish a state brew- ery. Two quarts of whisky, eight quarts of wine and 24 quarts of beer are allowed to each person a month for "non-beverage purposes."

With its chances for passage con- sidered good, a bill also has been in- troduced into the legislature provid- ing for a referendum on the repeal of the state's prohibition amendment.

(Canadian Press)

MONTREAL March lti-Life 1n a modem lumbering camp was recent- ly described by Peter Aylcn in the Montreal Gazette. Mr. Aylen wrote:

If a modem Rip Van Winkle were to wake up in Montreal after a nap of even twenty years he would proh- ably be surprised at what ho saw. If, however, he awakened to find himself not in the midst of a noisy city but in s little settlement some- where in the great timber limits o! Quebec, he would most likely be more surprised at what two decades of progress had accomplished there. Instead of the miserable conditions hé had known in lumber camps back in 1910 he would find. much to his astonishment, that many of the comforts and conveniences of the city had penetrated to the once Iaflifltéh camps at one time cut off from civilized communities and now rellly forming a part of them. What would the genial old Dutchman's successor say if he were to walk in- to one of the comfortable log cab- ins in the heart of the woods. and hear the cheerful strains of an or- chestra from some gay New York nigllr. club, or see a motor car racing up the good road from the _station bringing the day's mail? Few peo- ple‘ realize the immense changes which have transformed the life of the lumberjack within the last few years, and it was with the idea of showing the real conditions in mod- ern lumber camps that the. North- ern Logging and Contracting Com- pany recently organized a tour of inspection of the logging operations on the limits of the Canada Power and PaperCompany along the Fla- mand river in the St. Maurice Val- ley. In this large area, which will soon be flooded by the developments of the Shawinigan Water and Pow- er Company at Rapid Blanc on the St. Maurice, the Northern Logging C°ml>any was "making logs" for the Canada Power and Paper Company under contract. During a visit of several days the party, which was composed mainly of representatives of the press, visited many of the camps” in’ the vicinity of Flamand, a station on the C. N. R. trans- continental line about 150 niilcs from Quebec.

The physical nature of the dis- trict is fairly typical of northern Quebec-law, rolling hills everywhere covered mainly, with jack pine, spruce and balsam. This particular area included in the trip was pretty well cleared for some distance on either side o! the railway, and as it was burnt over some ten years ago, Presented a rather desolate and bar- ren appearance. On every side. how- ever. were evidence of the handi- work of man. A good gravel road, owned by the paper company, mm for more than 100 miles down through the limit, flanked by a row of telephone wires, connecting the several depots or "headquarters" with the rest of the world. Surpris- ing as it may seem, this road is kept open for motor traffic all winter.
