Murchison goldfield, Western Australia,' claims a record for public-houses. Its population of 9500 has 100 licensed houses, or one to every 95 of the inhabitants all told. Queenstown is not going to have nolicense at any price (says the Gore Standard). Only one shopkeeper would allow posters advertising Mr L. M. Isitt's meeting there recently to be put in his window; the Mayor refused to take the chair at the advocate's address; and five out of six posters pasted up were torn down before the day of the meeting. Popular belief at the Lakes township associates the ruination of the tourist traffic wittf'the carrying of no-licenso.
