 Two outside parties are now figuring on putting in electric lights in Springdale, but what the results will be is uncertain. It is to be sincerely hoped that one of the gentlemen at least will think enough of the matter 10 go ahead and put in the plant.

The people here will welcome such an enterprise, and give 1t encouragement and liberal patronage.

THE LID" IS ON
OVER IN GRANT
FRONTIER JUSTICE is
METED OUT IN HAMILTON.
Entertaining Review of Conditions In
the Interior-Decency and Order
Being Brought Out Of the Old Con-
ditions I'm the "Short Grass" Coun-
ties.

The Monument Enterprise says Of
the gradual process Of bringing good
order and decency out of the frontier
conditions in the interior of Oregon:
There seems to be a general wave
of REFORM The newspapers are full
of talk about Putting on the lid" and
tendency to suppress immortality in
the frontier towns. In fact, it would
seem that the last stages of the story
book western life are passing away
and that the grip in moral law is be-
ginning to tighten even in localities
in Grant county.
7 While 1t is true that rowdyism
and fights still occur in public places
II is also true that in Hamilton, Long
Creek and Prairie City effective eff
forts have been made to bring about
better state of affairs.
In Hamilton, a few days ago, upon
the occasion of a special celebration
some Of the pinheads, from various
parts Of the country, undertook to
carry on "Pinheads delight" which
is something between a wild west
show and circus mixed with booze.
But Joe Steach, the justice of the
peace, was there and Joe made a de-
termined resolve that they would have
justice. 1t was rather raw-bound
justice, but nevertheless, 1t was JUS
tice.
According to reports received here,
court was held in the open street,
with a dry goods box for the justice
bar. Six pinheads were brought up
and fined all the way from $5 to S15
apiece. The filming of a pinhead, al
though rare, is not considered par
tlcularly smart, for generally the fine
is light or the pinhead has credit;
but anyway the plnhead has his
choice of going home or going to Jail.
1t was that way at Hamilton before
Joe Steach for when the six pin
heads refused to pay their fines pre-
parations were Immediately made to
deport them to the county Jail at Can
yon City, whereupon the necessary
funds were produced.
It is rather hard for a pinhead to
believe there is such a thing as law
when a pinhead has imbibed little
too freely, but they are not all drunk
at once, so when a delight is started,
here in Long Creek, those pinheads
who are not too far along and their
friends turn preacher and declare
that there is limit.
They do this because they realize
that a sober dance will bring more
girls and they all own a little prop
erty, a horse or two, and because
they are finding out that the less wild
and woody the more prosperity.

The results Of the conference will

gathered by one department at the
disposal of all, the trust bursting op-

A majority OF the attorneys general

express the belief that the federal
courts should not be permitted to in

are Of the opinion that the state courts
should be supreme within the states.

ference of opinion is likely provoke

ference.
