SALTLAKE CHAPTERS
Welcome Signs Over the Doors and the Scoop Shovel Nit
 Held Wide Open.
Goodwin's Weekly Pays its Re- spects to the Respectable High
 waymen of That City.

"Soak 'em while they're here, for they'll be a long time gone; good enough for Elks, and make 'em pay, pay, payt
 That has been the war whoop of too many far seeing business men the past week, and they have done Salt Lake more harm than good, making carnage out of their killings.
 They have taken the money away from visiting Elks and their friends faster than a house full of brace games could have done it, scraped them clean of every penny and told them to kiss themselves good bye.
 The "Welcome" sign has blazed from the front door, the Icon" smile has blazed from behind the counters, and the scoop shovel init has been held open for the jingle on the ma hogany, for "Jolly Elks are good fellows; we'll be as wise as tree full of owls. Stick 'em from soup to nuts, and they'll never know the differ ence."
 But they did, and they hollered, and whenever you go in the next few months you will see their smoke which started in this little city. The hackmen first--that was expected but in ali justice, only a few cut deep, and those grafters were not among the ones who are reputable outside of convention weeks. Of course there we're number who are always holGups, but there isn't half the fault to be found with such men as with others, who are supposed to be right. With the haekmen it is the big rakeoff for the year, but it isn't with such places as the Knuts- ford bar, the Royal cafe, the Tavern, the Kenyon and Palace barber shops and other places supposed to be in the front rank of their respective businesses.
 Three New Workers and a local man went into the Knutsford Tues day evening. They had an inward fever that was fierce, and a deep yearning for something cool. They asked for four glasses of sweet soda, common ordinary ''pop:" It was served in small glasses full of ice and there were probably two five cent bottles in he whole thing. A dollar was thrown down and, no change. All drinks twenty-five cents, gentle men," was the news the informant gave them. This is only one incl dent. The maximum wholesale rate for this is thirty cents a dozen bot ties. The new improvements at the Knutsford bar are beautiful. but when the management insists for paying for them in three days trade it's little strong.
 Any number of bars raised to 10 cents for beer, but in comparison beer was a cinch. One Mueller. who runs the Royal Cafe must not be overlooked. Beginning Monday he had list of prices that would drive anyone to bankruptcy in three meals. Two regular customers walked In on that day, took look at the list of figures and reared like the angry sea. Immediately a man rushed up and said that regular customers would be served at old prices; that he was sta toned there to inform them that, and the printed figures were for visiting Elks. If that isn't holdup in broad in broad daylight, what isi
 The only difference at the Tavern was in the fact that there was no dis eliminating; that is, the prices were raised to the robber scale, but it cost local people the same as outsiders. If the Tavern isn't out of debt after this week, whyi
 The Kenyon barber shop made no bones about raising shaving prices to 25 cents, and the Palace sold i'm ported" tonics made in the cellar and put in French bottles, and the smile on the barbers' faces said Good enough for Elks."
 The gratis in small resorts around town cannot be reckoned, but they were legion and will be long remem- bered by the antlered herd. If all business men had been disposed to treat people as the ones mentioned ther'd be a lot of paved streets here before another convention.-Good- wins Weekly, Salt Lake.
