NEW BUSINESS HOUSES ARE
NOW OCCUPIED.
st. Nicholas Hotel Annex Completed
Wells Corner" Saloon
Opens Up.


Simultaneous with the completion Of
the st. Nichols hotel annex there has
been change in location of business
firms. A. j. Parker has moved into the
east room of the annex, while Worthing-
ton & Thompson OCCUPY the west room
with their grocery stock until their new
brick building will be ready for occu-
pancy. The Stahl building has reached
the stage of completion near enough to
permit Will Wells to open his "Corner"
saloon this morning. The St. Nichols
people are occupying the upper story of
the hotel annex.
Parker's barber shop is one OF the
best appointed in the county. All the
latest appliances are employed to
please customers and satisfy the public.
The regulations of the state law GOV
erniDg barber shops, in luding perfect
systems of sterilization and sanitary con-
ditions, are strictly complied with, and
the progressive spirit of Mr.. Parker is
to be guaged by the equipment of his
place of business. All tools and ap-
pliances are modern and up-to-date. The
equipment of this popular shaving par.
lor includes new and expensive fixtures;
air pressure contrivance, two bath
rooms, hot and cold water, massage
apparatus, center wash stand, hatracks,
etc. A new and attractive sign is MOTTO
able in front of this handsome new shop,
and once you are within you feel like
tarrying after you have received your
shave.
In the upper story is situated some
elegantly furnished rooms. The pro-
prietor of the st. Nichols, Mr.. j. E.
Froome, has fitted up these rooms at
considerable expense, and in connection
with other improvements in the way of
alterations, painting decorating and
appering the rooms of the main hotel
building, he has parted with consider
able sum of money this season. The
rooms in question are large, well venti-
lated and situated to best advantage Of
guests. The furniture is first-class and
high-grade Brussels carpet has been
used for the floors. The beds are the
best that money can procure.
Will Wells opened his "Corner"
saloon this morning, in the new Stahl
building, corner of Main and Third.
His fixtures are in keeping with the
attractive appearance of the new home
Of the Corner" Mr.. Wells went to
Portland and personally selected the
fixtures which are elegant in the ex-
treme. The bar is 18 feet in length and
the back bar has four huge pillar sup
ports, finished in hand carved wood
work. Only portien of the fixtures
have arrived, but when they do, Mr..
Wells will certainly have fine saloon.

Place That Didn't Exist Next to
Wolf Found by Officers.

The Bates joint. one door east of
C. ". VOLTS hardware store was raided
at O'Clock last night The reason for
putting off this grand stand movement
until this time is obvious McCollum
could see plainly, by the way people
were voting. that he was due TO lose his
manager, Mr. Wolf, and that he would
either have to do something or quit.
Sergeant McElroy who conducted the
raid, said in the presence Of other off,
GERS afterWard: The place was Just
like the Journal said it was, all right
McElroy jeopardized his position on the
force when he made that statement
which gives the lie to other things
which have been said by McCollun and
the force. Only a few Gays ago McCol-
lum furnished affidavits to prove that
there was no joint at the Bates place.
and that the description of the booze
mill was made up of the whole CLOTH
The bar, ice chest (Which stood
against the wall dividing the joint and
VOLTS store), glasses, two kegs An
heuser-Busch beer, one jug part full Of
whisky, one bottle of whisky and one
slop sink were confiscated- Quite lay
out for a joint which never existed ?
F. E Bates, proprietor OF the place. and
Bert Jones, bartender, were arrested.
All deals are off now, and it is ex-
pected that McCollum viii raid the
