only place? The other saloons all
obey the law don't they?"
well, hardly; there isn't a booze
joint in town where the proprietors
give two whoops for the law. To
prove this, if you have time, | will
just take you around and show you
the different methods the thirsty
have to alleviate their distress"
To this the other consented, and
with the politician in the lead they
started to make the rounds.
CAS- we came in Whips place by
the way of the front door, we will
leave by the rear entrance said the
guide, and accordingly the two men
passed through the door leading into
the hallway of the Ford block, and
from there to the street, using the
Ford block entrance. Handy and
convenient" said the politician. The
visitor said nothing.
On their way to Meningitis they
stopped at the saloon across the al
ley from the court house, run by Euh
linger & Hodgens, and pounded on
ately directed in stentorian tones to
Ego round to the alley, and come in
the side door" They obeyed and
found a number of others who had
either been similarly directed or who
were "wised up" When they came
to Meningitis place the visitor tried
the door to the buffet on the second
street side and, finding it locked, be-
gan to have a little fun at the eX
pense of the politician. Here is
where you're mistaken This is the
front door and it is locked" he said.
ooh, I don't know, come on with
me before you do any GROWING and,
leading the way to the front door o.
the wholesale department the politi-
clan passed through the front store
and into the saloon proper "All Nthe
same Whips, was all he remarked
as he took cigar at the expense of
! his friend.
Returning to Main street, they Wis
tied the "Silver Dollar" and, find
ing the saloon door locked, they tried
the door leading up stairs and en-
tered the hallway. From there a
door entered the saloon, and it was
not locked. More convenience" OBJ
served the politician. From there a
visit was made to the "Tyrol" saloon.
Here the side entrance was used.
SCOTS place was the next in order
and here the convenient hallway was
in evidence, very much so, from the
crowd at the bar.
To get in the Brewery saloon ban
room, the visitors entered the door
leading up to the Kalispell club, ant
found a convenient door opening into
, the bar room.
BY this time the visitor was in
maze. well, this beats me" he said
"I was crediting Kalispell with hav
ing saloon men who at least had soma
respect for the law, but now an
finding out that they are worse ever
than many other places | have Wis
tied" "Oh, this easy, we have JUS
commenced" was the reply.
AT the Strand saloon the hallwa!
entrance was in evidence, as well a.
at Gus Heller's place, and in botl
Joints a crowd of half intoxicated
, men were found, with the bartender
Y on the jump to satisfy the thirst 0
2 the mobs. O'Connell's saloon wa
n also filled with a crowd who hat
gained entrance by way of the hal
way and the rear door opening fror
e the alley.
t, Coming back to Second street tn
l, saloons of Gilbert Poier, Ed Haa
S and Jules Morand were visited an
0 the usual sight encountered. Crowd
drinking, bartenders busy, and tn
front doors locked, but the side an
