other session Of the Legislature. The
addition cost to the saloon men would
be that of making their boxes a little
larger.
1t has not been explained at the
city hall whether the variety theaters
would come under this arrangement
or not. If they take advantage Of
the plan, the stage in each theater
would probably be faced by tiers Of
bedrooms instead of boxes.
The city officials see a resemblance
in this plan to that Of the owner Of
a new building on Second avenue who
tried to open a saloon building within
the prescribed distance of the First
Baptist church, his contention for so
doing being that he intended to run
furnished rooms--a hotel, SO to

Each saloon will have it's boxes fitted
up with beds, table and chairs.
Sandwiches will be served and or

some days ago, explained that he had
been in declining health for long

affected his brain, making him tenn
porarily insane.

D. c. Corbin. who incorporated the

that a secret agreement has been

Canadian Pacific, whereby the latter
will abandon its projected lines to
Seattle and Spokane in return for
Hills keeping out Of Vancouver and

There Is prospect that the season
will be backward, and that summer
operations IN the mines will begin
comparatively late. but this detriment
Is more than counterbalanced by the
extent Of mining operations that have
been planned and the amount Of work
that will be done this year.
The cold weather prevented contin-
uous work on the winter dumps
around Nome until recently, and but
little siuicing has been done. The
water from the melting snow is now
rushing down the streams in tor
rents. The work Of cleaning up the
dumps Is being vigorously pushed,
and the dumps will soon be washed
up and some heavy pokes will be the
result.
