have communication here from man VINO
is apparently afraid to sign his and at the
same time appears to think he can do good deal
of soaring by dropping the few lines. Here it is ::
"Sur-You must remember that the wimmen up
Chicago creek have just the same rites that you
have in this country. You cant go after them
when 1 am around for they have the same rites
you have to stay in the sitty and make some
muney. ''there friend. "
We are obliged to the fellow for the advice, but
decline to follow it. No one has said that these
people must get out of town. We did say that it
was a standing disgrace and shame that such a
place should be established within a stones throw
of the graveyard where the loved ones of so many
here in the city at rest We did say, too, that
it was disgrace that the inmates should be per-
mitted to disport themselves along the highway so
that little children going and coming from school
should be poisoned by the ideas. 1t is shame.
There is argument in favor of permitting the
place to be run resort in that locality Let it
be moved to some other point where the other
There is no reason why vice of this
character should be permitted to exist in all parts
of the city. The argument that it is an evil that
must be tolerated may be all right-we not dis
posed to take up the contention on this point-but
to say that such places be established adjoin-
ing cemeteries and along the most popular sum-
travel points, is to say that the city cares
nothing for the dead for the living. 1 believe,
however, that at the next meeting of the coun-
Gil some action will be taken. 1 am assured by
those who in position to know that resort
in that location will not be tolerated. hope some
action will be taken and the letters, such as the
one printed above, will not deter the paper from
doing its duty.

of MODERN up-to-date people this week. The
party consists of T. G. Walther of St. Paul, presi-
dent of the Bowman Development company and
the Mason Consolidated Mining and Milling COM
pany and also manager of one of the leading hard
ware houses of the northwest. D. L. Mason, re-
tired capitalist who is fat and having good time
while he lives, and Fred ]. Bowman, energetic
newspaperman and promoter. The party halls
from Minneapolis and St. Paul. 1 afraid to give
their places of residence for fear might get St.
Paul man located in Minneapolis and Minneapo-
lis man located in ST. Paul. While it would make
little difference in the population of the two Cities
unless Dan Mason should get transposed, it is bet
ter to let some larger newspaper man make the
mistake. Mr.. Walther says the people of Mime
apolis refuse to read the testament because it
mentions st. Paul oftener than it does Minneapo-
lis. The party is solid, substantial representa-
tive crowd from that section, and will become
material factor in the development of the district.
They are business men who believe in mining in
business-like manner, and will not expect results
from grass roots 1t is this class that the district
should get interested. They will succeed because
they have purchased their property with the idea
of developing it in a systematic and await
ing results, the they would await results in
any other business. Mrs Mason accompanied Mr.
Mason the trip, and they will remain here un-
til after July q, at least.

Last Saturday half dozen little boys ar
