The proprietor is one of the old school

deemed it necessary to keep up with
the procession. Almost at the front
door stands an old -fashioned coal stove
red with rust.
The proprietor sat in front of this
stove on one of the hottest days of last
week with his feet on the fender. A
friend went in and asked him if he
wasn't hot enough without sitting
before recollection of heat.

Thereupon the proprietor opened the
rusty door. Inside was a cooler and
Undecided in the mashed ice was 90 d

there the two old friends sat and OK

ORGANIZED FOR PROTECTION
Great Falls Lodging House Keepers
Form Association for Mutual
Benefit

Great Falls Aug. 5.-Great Falls lodg-
ing house keepers are to organize for the
purpose of protection and preservation.
The first steps in this direction will be
taken in few days and when the asso-
ciation is in working order there will be
started war on all houses in the city
where dodgers are kept, either for board
Or room, or both, for which no license
has been taken out.
The city and county license for lodging
houses is $40, one-half to EACH All Of
the down. town places have been classed
as such, and have been compelled to take
out these permits.
However, it is commended, that the
greater part of the residenA of Great
Falls who may not have homes of their
own and are compelled to live in board
ing houses or private residences, live in
sections of the city where there are no
licenses paid
This business, they assert, belongs to
the houses that pay license, and it is the
intention, as soon as things have been
gotten into shape, to see that all places,
where even one other than member Ct
the family and who pays room rent Is
found, be placed on the same footing as
the down town lodging houses.
