store is one of the most attractively
dressed windows to be seen on Main
street. In front of a miniature
miners cabin is spread out an ex-
tended plain formed of crushed
quartz. In the center of this is a
lakelet in which are seen several
kinds of waterfowl and also little
water-crafts Palms and evergreen
shrubs are growing near the cabin,
and the whole plain is strewn with
rich galena and silver bearing ores
brought from Idaho. The effect is
very pleasing and attracts much
notice.

gentleman whose name we have not
learned. This is almost unbeliev-s
able but the fish were brought
into town and exhibited on the
streets and divided up among the
friends OF the men who caught
them. The fish were of good edi-
BILE quality and ranged in length
from eight to eighteen inches and
