walks are pretty well lined with citizens
and miners off shift; at 0 o'clock most OF
the business houses close, and half an
hour afterward the town has cooled down
till it does not look like the same place.
This is getting to be more and more the
case. 1t is o good omen, as it shows that
our people are settling down to steady
habits and the realities of life. A few
years since it was not until about mid
night that the town was made to ''howl, P"
and then for two or three hours the
saloons were thronged and more deviltry
was seen than during any other hours
in the twenty four. Now, at IL
O'Clock, the saloons are almost deserted
and the amount of business done, except
on rare occasions, does not pay for the
oil burned. Then men filled the town
and women We're few, but now men have
their families here and women are becom-
ing numerous, therefore the men have
fallen into domestic channels and do not
restlessly roam abroad as in former days.
