A BEER FAMINE.
Thousands Throng GrangevilIe
With a Thriving Thirst.


Despite the fact that we have
one brewery running full blast,
and another to commence opera
tions, Grangeville is suffering from
something ola beer famine. Won
Berge's brewery is unable to supply
even the local demand, let alone
the orders that come in daily from
Keuterville, Denver and other
points around the prairie.
Messrs. Alexander & Freiden-
rich are large shippers Of barreled
beer from Lewiston, but lately have
had far more orders for draught
beer than they could possibly fill.
One reason for the extra consump-
ton Of beer Of late probably lies in
the fact that the quality of the To-
cal product is far ahead Of what it
used to be. The other factor of
course is the greatly increased
population and the thriving thirst
they have brought with them.
Also a number of new booze-booths
have come into existence within
the last week or 80 which helps to
create q demand for the ambrosial
amber-colored liquid. And then
there is the Blue Front.
But that is another story.

The Coming Boom

Our big brother, Col. Frank ].
Parker visited Lewiston last week
70 attend tho funeral of General
McConville as the official repre-
sentative of the state of Washing
ton. He spent the best years Of
his life on Camas Prairie and in
the mountains Of old Idaho coun-
ty in the early EOS, and is one Of
the best posted men ON quartz in
the state. Writing up Lewiston
for the Walla Walla Statesman he
said: Crowded as the town is at
present it will not begin to COM
bare with what it will be from now
on. The Buffalo Hump and other
mining discoveries will bring thous.
ands along. Recently some ad-
verse reports have been circulated
regarding the principal mine at
the Hump, but it is generally
thought there is niger in there
in the fence and that the reports
were purposely circulated for finan-
cial reasons, but no matter wheth-
er it is good or bad, it is but
grain of sand in these extensive
mountain ranges, and with the
army of prospectors now there and
others continually going in it will
be against all past experience if
rich mines are not discovered.
The whole country above Grange
vile is essentially mineral bear
ing, and every day new discover
les of lodges are reported, 80 alto
gether Lewiston and the upper
country has a bright and promis-
Jug future.
"The steamer Spokane brings in
an average of 500 people per week.
She is very handsome and nice
boat, better than anything that
has ever been on the river before.
Our old friend Captain Eph Baugh-
man is in command and is very at
tentive to everything pertaining to
his duties and, as ever, very popu-
lar with the passengers. The
table is well kept and good meals
and obliging attendants the rule.
The purser and steward are both
bright and popular young men who
know their business from the
ground up. Mr.. A. E. Williams,
the chief engineer, is one of the
most capable men who ever had
charge Of machinery and appears
to be everywhere at once. He has
been on the river in that capacity
the best rart of his life and knows
every inch VI it. Coal for firing
has superseded the old time cord
wood, and everything is strictly up
to-date."

may have little use for that part of the

James received the telegram after he

JUDGE BUCK RESIGNS
HIS RESIGNATION TO GOV. LIND
YESTERDAY
TERM TO EXPIRE VERY SOON

His Honorable Service to the State
Would Have Ended Next January,
and at Seventy the Learned Judge
Lays Down the Cares of Office
because of Failing HeaIth-Suc-,
'cessOr May BE Judge Brown.
Associate Justice Daniel Buck, of Man
kRto, yesterday handed his resignation to
Gov. Lind, to take effect Saturday Ow-
ing to Illness in Judge Bucks immediate
family and his own poor health, coupled
with his inability for these causes to
attend court, he decided to resign that
the court might not be seriously embar-
rassed in its work. A successor to Judge
Buck to fill his unexpired term will be
appointed by Gov Lind this week. 1t Is
very probable that one of the three new
judges, who take their seats Jan. l, will
be appointed to fiIl, the vacancy It is
not known which of the three will be
named, but 1t is expected that Judge G. L.
Brown, of Morris will be selected.
AS majority of the court constituting
a quorum retire from the bench Jan. l.
it is necessary that all cases decided at
that time. The court, because Of circum-
stances which were beyond its control,
is now behind in its work, and that the
new court may commence with a clear
sheet, it is necessary that a new man be
substituted to help wind up the work.
Judge Bucks wife has been an invalid
for several years, and her Illness has
weighed heavily upon the venerable
jurist.
Justice Daniel Buck, the Oldest member
of the supreme court in years, was born
in Roonville, Oneida county, n. Y, i'll
1929, and came to Minnesota in May,
1857, while Minnesota was still territory.
His education was received at Rome and
Louvelle academies In New York state,
and he began the practice of law on his
arrival in Minnesota at Mankato. He
was elected to the houses of representa-
tives in the legislature of 1866, served i've
years as resident director Of the normal
school at Mankato, and has been prom
inent in public affairs during his entiGe
residence, although by no means always
in office He served in the senate in 1873
and 1881; and was afterwards county at
torney of Blue Earth county for four
years In 1898 ne was elected to the su
preme bench and has served practically
his entire term of six years, as the court
will adjourn its sitting Dec. Is, less than
a month from now, to close up its work
before the other new judges come in.
