The debate took place before his honor, Judge Dobson, at Berryville, taking up the greater portion of five days--Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Tuesday and Wednesday. </div> <div> The affirmative side of the question was looked after by Attorneys James and Fuller, the saloon interests of the city, and an adult census petition. </div> <div> The negative side was championed by Attorney Butt, the Anti-Saloon League, and a petition of 1096 names. </div> <div> After hearing the arguments on both sides, Judge Dobson, decided in favor of the affirmative. </div> <div> Well, it's all over for another year, at least; the majority of the adult population of Eureka Springs have said that the saloons may stay for another year. </div> <div> We are a representative democracy and believe in majority rule, and until such time as the people of the state, county, or municipality vote or decide differently, Eureka Springs' four saloons have a legal right to exist and do business in this city. </div> <div> The original petition contained 1,263 names and the census petition, 2,562 names; these were whittled down to 1,096 and 2,481 names respectively. In other words, the petition suffered the loss of 167 names and the census, 81 names. The petition lacked just 146 names of enough to exclude saloons within the three mile limit. </div> <div> The saloon license having expired December 31, 1908, this city saw five dry days, not counting Sunday. Licenses were issued Thursday morning.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> ************</div> <bR> <div> <B>Weekly Flashlight – June 6, 1901</B></div> <bR> <div>      In an article from the <I>Weekly Flashlight</I> of June 6, 1901, it describes the distinctive differences regarding the “healing springs” of Eureka Springs and those of Hot Springs, Arkansas.  Besides one being cold and the latter being hot, an analysis of Eureka Springs waters shows that  it exists as a pure state of Oxide of Hydrogen.  In further support of the healing waters the article included a statement  written by Dr. A.F. McKay, wherein he stated:</div> <bR> <div>      For the invalid who is able to enjoy, and is fond of sports, the country about Eureka Springs is quite to be desired, having been endowed by nature in a most lavish manner, making for the sportsman, a paradise.  Deer are found in abundance in the woods in the immediate vicinity, also, wild turkey, squirrels, rabbits, and quail, while ducks abound in season on the waters of White and King’s Rivers, two beautiful streams, abounding in fish, six and four miles distant respectively.</div> <div>      Life at Eureka Springs may be quiet and plain – spent in camping, in living in the many comfortable cottages, to be obtained at reasonable rates – or, as above indicated, it partakes of the elements of pleasure attending a fashionable resort.  But, of course, the principal occupation of the day consists of drinking the water from the various springs, which differ slightly in analysis, and it is claimed by many invalids that decided differences are experienced in the effects.</div> <div>      Eureka Springs has a number of very intelligent physicians of all schools of medicine, most of them here for their own health, who have made an intelligent study of therapeutic applications of the waters and are prepared to give intelligent advice to the profession at large, but, it has not a horde of unprincipled quacks such as have brought opprobrium upon some health resorts of great virtue is protected from these human ghouls.</div> <div>      In conclusion, I can say to the members of the American Health Resort Association, the medical profession in general and to the invalid public of the class mentioned that as a health resort, I believe Eureka Springs is destined to take a most prominent place.</div> <div> Dr. A.F. McKay, M.D.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>      <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><I><B>The news article continued:</B></I></FONT></div> <div>      Dr. A.F. McKay, has visited every health resort on the American continent.  He has made there, a life long study in an effort to determine the conditions and combinations which go to make up a place where diseases are cured or benefitted.  After coming here and studying, the waters the climate, and the conditions generally, he wrote and published the above article.</div> <div>      We have not reproduced his article in full, but only such parts of it as we thought were necessary, with what we will add, to give an entire stranger an intelligent idea of what Eureka Springs really is.</div> <div>      Dr. McKay wrote the article in order that physicians, who are members of the American Health Resort Association, might get information that would enable them to determine the benefits that would accrue to their patients whom they might send here.</div> <div>      Good health resorts – the kinds that actually deserve the name, the kinds that have a record earned because of absolute cures known to have been affected by them is a scarce article.  But Eureka Springs is one that has merited the name richly.  In fact it has been in the resort business for a straight 20 years, and is gaining in popularity with each succeeding year, is evidence of its merit.</div> <div>      Eureka Springs is better known today than at anytime in its history.  For several months during the past Summer season, it was almost impossible to find a hotel or boarding house with a vacant bed, or to find a furnished or unfurnished cottage or room within her limits for rent.</div> <div>      This is a wide-awake little city having all the needful accessories such as: substantial business (retail) blocks, water, sewer, electric lights, electric street railway, police and fire departments, fine hotels, bath houses, schools and many beautiful residences.  Thousands of visitors come here annually.</div> <div>      Settled in the foundation of mountains among which nestles the City of Magical Waters is the fact that during the years since the discovery of these famous springs, thousands of cures that have seemed little less than miracles have been wrought here by the waters and the climate.</div> <div>      Among the diseases cured, are cancer, rheumatism, diseases of the stomach, diseases of the eye, Bright’s Disease, asthma, paralysis, liver complaint, catarrhal troubles, indigestion, hemorrhoids, chronic diarrhea, all diseases of the skin, scrofula, diseases of women, catarrh of the bladder, malaria, diseases of the lung, and respiratory ailments.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> **********</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="1965.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="1965"><B>Next Page</B></A></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
