When Prices Were Way Up.

Prices of commodities in Montana
in the late sixties were such that the
present generation would hold up its
hands in horror if it had to pay them,
the Helena Record. Imagine,
for instance, paying 81 for a copy Of
a daily paper, or so cents for two
needles, or 81. 20 for a box of sardines.
Yet these prices were freely paid by
the states early settlers. This Is at
tested by a number of entries in the
daybook of Searls & Miles, of Silver
Bow Junction, which has just been
presented to the state historical society
by Thomas o. Miles, of Silver Bow.
Seventy-five cents for a plug of to-
bacco: IS q gallon for whisky; 81 a
pound for lard: the same figure for
butter; 50 a pound for tea: overalls at
1926 a pair, and SO on through the
entries.
In the book, which is we'll worn, but
whose writing is distinct, appear such
names as Henry Edgar, the discoverer
of gold in Alder gulch; Charles S.
Warren OF Butte: Judge Coulter and
many other we'll known pioneers.
Greenbacks were subject to a discount,
and when a credit was given in green
backs, 20 per cent. was discounted.
