Rigorous Punishment Urged in Spokane Liquor Crackdown
J Edward Prencell, a Spokane property owner, urges the city to tighten penalties for drunkenness with a staged jail time scale from 30 days to 10 years. The proposed ordinance aims to clear saloons of partitions and restrict liquor traffic amid divided commission opinions. Churches and citizens’ leagues back the measure while Royal Arch liquor dealers predict a move to a dry Spokane.

Asparagus Miner Threatens Crops Across Regions
The asparagus miner is a two winged metallic black fly whose larva burrows under the epidermis of stalks causing ruptured skin and brittle plants. It was first noted in New England and Long Island in 1896 and has since spread statewide. Control methods include trap crops and burning infested plants with puparia to prevent further spread. The Department of Agriculture urges careful, area wide destruction to reduce future infestations.
