 High Prices Reinforced By Robbery. Saloons are running "wide open. " As rule they sell fair class of bev. erages. Drinks and cigars retail al 50 cents and the two brewcries that are located here cannot supply the demand for steam beer at $l25 keg. A poor quality of champagie is re. tailed at $30 g pint and a better quail ity is $l0 higher. In liquidating in. debtedness at the bar the individual doing the honors passes his sack over to the barkeeper, who pours oal enough gold dust to settle the account. It is hardly necessary to add. l sup pose, that the barkeepers are not charged with neglecting to take enough dust, particularly when tht patrons are somewhat under the in fuence of copious potations.

P.O. 8. OF 4. INSTALL
The Officers for the Coming Term Duly
Inducted Into Their Chairs.
A Gathering in Which the Grand Army
of the Republic and the Woman's
Relief Corps Were Guests.

The installation of the newly elected
officers OF Washington Camp No. 49,,
Patriotic Order Sons of America. took
place at Masonic hall last evening, and
the gathering of invited guests was a
large one. For the first time the Sons
endeavorel to entertain the ladies of
the Relief Corps and the Veterans and
quite IA number Of other invited guests ;
1T was their first public installation
and, TO say the least, it proved to be a
very pleasant affair.
1t was nearly 8 o'clock when In
spector Charles Snyder announced that
Past President and Acting Installing
Of1lcer II. j. Hansen was present and
III waiting to install the officers. AS
the Installing officer entered the room
he was very prettily given the military
salute OF the order, and after being in
troduced to the president aud assem- :
blage as the installing officer for the
evening, he proceeded and installed the
following officers
President, A. A. Walkup.
Vice President, G. G. Spencer.
Master OF Forms and Ceremonies, J.
W. Pattee.
Conductor, Will Sprague.
Inspector, E. B. Scott. r
Guard, Julius Kideren. a.
There We're three absentees among
the newly y-elected officers, namely !:
recording Secretary David Pizer, who
is in Helena, on visit to relatives ;
Treasurer Fl. M. Browning. who lies
very sick at his home, and Financial
Secretary Will Lutey. who went to the
springs few days ago in the hope of
Kidding himself of severe cold.
Aside from this. everything in con-
nection with the ceremonies passed off
Pleasantly.
Refreshments were then served to the
guests, and everyone seemed to appre.
rlate the spread, judging from the
ranid manner in which the good things
disappeared.
Durlns tie evening addresses were
made by President A. A. Walkup and
Past President H. j. Hansen, both of
which were thoroughly approved by
their many listeners.
1t was about II o'clock when the
crowd dispersed, aud the shower of
praise bestowed upon the well-meaning
efforts of the Sons to entertain is
sufficient proof that all enjoyed the
evenings ceremonies and festivities
very much, and hope to have the pleas
ure OF being entertained by them again
Success to the Sons!

SUBURBAN AND CITY SOCIETY.

AS | announced in my previous COM
munication that l wuold be heard from
again If the interesting actions contin-
ued, l think / have made observations
enough to justify myself in bringing
them before the public
For some time after my first account
of their proceedings, the suburban
people were very quiet---only averaging
about one whist party week.
My remarks seemed to be taken to
heart very much by some of the young
people for in these columns shortly af-
forwards | noticed an anwser to them
written by Zone of the Natives. -
During the past month a party was
given in Clark, to which the suburban
people had invitations as we'll as the
city people. Perhaps had l taken the
advice given by the "Native' and
asked for an invitation, l might have
attended too. Who knows!
The measuring sociable' was well
attended by the suburban people, as
could be plainly seen by me in the
position | occupy. Some Of them were
rather late putting in their appearance,
but they made it up by staying later
than the others.
1t is an amusing sight to attend a
social event of any kind and notice the
way things shape themselves. In one
part of the room will be seen the young
people of the city and in another part,
as far removed as possible. the
suburban people-it being almost the
same as two distinct parties.
A new regime has taken place in the
suburbs. Now after attending any
place of amusement they resort to some
appointed place and conclude the even
ing's festivities with whist party.
On Saturday evening the "natives'
were out for a straw ride. One strik-
ing thing was noticeable, that was the
addition to their number of two or
three city boys! The reason for this,
as I have found out, was a kind of
policy invitation. The city boys hav-
taking ride it was deemed best to ex-
tend the invitation to them. How
ever some of our other aspiring young
men in the city, not knowing the cir
cumstances, felt quite piqued at not
rceiving an invitation. From the
sounds that reach me 1 expect
that if these young men would notify
the suburban people that they have a
suitable rig for straw riding they
would be rendered an invitation i'm
The one thing that hurts the city
young people is the number of young
ladies that live in the suburbs, while
there are but comparatively few young
men. The fact that they can have
very good time in a sociable manner
inviting more of the city boys
is the source of considerable annoyance
to them.
Awaiting further developments, l
remain, yours on the watch,

Peter Coye has been missing of late
a number of mining tools and rails
from his mine. He went on "a trip of

On Monday morning as the Hastings
train from CreSson, which iS due here at
1905, was within three hundred yards of
the depot it suddenly left the main track
and took to the siding that runs through
Griflith's lumber yard.
On the siding within couple of rods of
the switch stood four freight cars. three of
of them loaded with lumber and the
other one with hemlock bark. On one
of the lumber cars were Elijah Mahan,
George Maxim and young man named
Good, who were unloading lumber. The
Hastings train was running at rate of
about 30 miles an hour and il was but a
moment, too short time for the engineer
to stop or reverse his engine, until it struck
the bark car with crash that could be
heard for several squares and with an i'm
petus that sent the first lumber car several
rods. only stopping when il crashed into a
shed in the rear of Webster GriffiJh's saw
