North Dakota Prohibition Policy Sparks Moorhead Debate
A North Dakota newspaper critiques prohibition, noting Moorhead Minnesota’s saloon licenses rising to 1500 annually and predicting cuts in saloon numbers once the law takes effect. The piece argues licensing can regulate vice and benefit public revenue, arguing against the current costly enforcement. It contrasts state experience with South Dakota and Iowa. It also includes a technical note on detachable clothes-supporting brackets for a line and how they attach with hooks and pins.

Smith reports owning about two to three thousand sheep and has fed only one load of hay so far. The state is praised as excellent for horses, cattle, and sheep.
