Salt Lakers are going into the crispette
business on an extensive sale. and unless
their plans are thwarted by equally as
clever Spectators. they will in short
time be the crispette monopolsts Of the
west w. H. Irvine and Joe Lippman, the
retired Republican politician. are at the
head of the syndicate, and of course joe
IS pulling the wires. His recent visit TO
est of his crisperte trust, and it will not
be a surprise If. four months from the
date OF his arrival in the city of Mexico,
letters patent on the manufacture of the
succulent crispette are issued 10 aim and
his associates.
The syndicate already controls the
rights of manufacture for the states of
Washington. Oregon and Montana, and
have sold sufficient territory 10 insure
1t profit of $500 on $500 investment.
besides allowing them to retain the best
points. AT Seattle. Tacoma, Portland and
Butte the business is Furnishing already.
At the Portland factory Fred W. Dennis,
We'll known here as municipal employees
charge, and at Butte. Wayne Smith. re-
cenliy of the Rocky Mountain Bell 'fele-
phone company of this city, and a whiiom
society idol, is the arbiter of the boiling
apparatus.
Nat Brigham is also said TO be inter-
eSt4ng himself in the business. and 10
have acquired control of Colorado. He is
braska franchise.
1lle plans of the syndicate also call for.
an invasion of France, and 1t is probable
that a patent for the manufacture of the
popular CONNECTION in France viii be APP
piled for IN time to take advantage of the
great exposition in 1900.
To the uniuitiased it may be well TO
state that crispette is a CONNECTION
composed of popcorn and syrup pressed
into compact but crisp mass, which has
me- with great favor wherever intro
duced.
Max H. Fay. the well known CONNER
Gal traveller of San Francisco. is at the
knutsford. Business very recently called
him 10 Juneau, Alaska, and he arrived
there wnen the kiondyke gold excitement
was at its zenith. He corroh orates the
stories current of the hardships which
and predicts that the bubble created by
the excitement will be punctured in a
very short time. II IS true, he says, th2t
miners wages in the Klondyke are SIS
day, but the great rush % the digg.ngs
will soon result in the lowering of wages
TO az least So a day. The town of Juneau.
ne says. is almost dspopulated, every able
bodied man with means who could get
away having gone 10 the Klondyke coun-
I-y, crdZed with the fever caused by the
marvellous tales of the wealth of the
country. The same condition, he says.
exists in the Puget Sound country. Men
with barely enough means to pay their
passage to Juneau are leaving their
MONIES by every steamer, and, in his opin-
ion. hardships, suffering and disappoint-
ed hopes will be the reward CT the major
ity Of those who seek TO benefit their con-
dition in the gold fields. The Dominion
governments demand of 20 per cent roy
ally on all gold taken out, and the fur
ther fact that heavy duties are exacted
on all supplies taken in, do not act as
deterents to the rush. The people of the
northwest are, in his opinion, Klondyke
mad. and only experience of the most
bitter kind will be the panacea for their
a.lment.
