pie who live there.
a new town like this with hundreds
of miners on one side and lumber
camps on the other side will have its
peculiarites, and there will be numcr-
GUS saloons.
We are not particularly an advocate
Of saloon, but we recognize the fact
that in a new mining town like this 4;
saloon is highly appreciated.
| These miners are strangers in a
strange land. They yearn for COM
panionship, and when evening comes
where shall they go? Who will fur
nish a room well lighted, and heated,
where they can go in, make acquaint-
ance and visit with their comrades?
Such place as that in a new town,
where nearly all are strangers, where
there are no places of amusement, no
museums, no libraries, is real ne
cessity. -
| Somebody should supply that de-
mand, and the saloon keeper attempts
to do so. As he has to pay $500 for the
privilege of keeping such a place, he
must make it pay. To do that he keeps
what people like to drink.
Experience has proven that men will
! use money to crafty appetite. if they
have any money to spend, and knowing
this men will open rooms where stran-
gers can congregate for amusement.
The men who conduct saloons do not
want to make people drunk. If they
had their choice they would prefer
that the customers should not drink
to excess, but that they do is one NJ

Among the very first to open place
of this kind of entertainment in the
town was Henry Hookwith, who open

able resort OH that account alone.
