NEW LAWS ARE HARD
ON MIDDLE CLASS HOTELS

Only millionaires will be able to go
into the hotel business a few years
hence if the legislatures of America
continue to pass laws regulating the
various details of the business.
Last night a we'll known hotel man
and travelling man who is a guest of
his house had a conversation anent this
very thing.
Il will tell you what it is, old man,
when your son comes out here and
looks for a sample room when you and
l are in our graves he will have to pay
a small fortune for it, if the regulations
placed on hotels by the men who are
making the laws get much more strict
than they are at present. Why poor
man or a man with a moderate fortune
will not be able to run a hotel"
"How's that?" asked the travelling
man. Seems to me 1 heard them talk
ing a lot about that in the east. They
say there is Wisconsin senator who
wants to get legislation to compel
hotels to use sheets not less than nine
feet long"
Say. now" said the hotel man, that
is carrying things a little bit too far.
Our senators here have been so busy
that they don't seem to have time for
much hotel legislation, but in Dakota
and Minnesota the small hotel man will
JUDI oDOuL AlelNC W ~ Jul VI lllS DuSl-
ness If they pass many more rules and
regulations. Every day the require
ments for building and equipping a
hotel are becoming more rigid and there
won't be any but first class hotels in
the country. 1 wonder what will be-
come of the man without an over
abundance of this worlds goods and a
desire TO travel. He will have to stay
at home, for there won't be any house
that is able to do business in a way TO
give him cheap enough rates if the
cranks keep on increasing.
The Legislators of two states have
passed an anti-tipping bill, and though
it is safe to predict the law will be
broken every one of the 365 days in the
year it still goes to show the trend of
lawmakers.
THE Wisconsin man and his nine-foot
sheets is new one on me, but would
not put any of them past it,"
Times are changing, old man." said
the traveller, and with that they said
good night.

MONTANA sHRINERS TO BE
ENTERTAINED ROYALTY

Edwin Brewster of California and
Nevada, than whom there are few bet
ter liked men, is at the Alexandria for
a few days making arrangements for
the entertainment Of Algeria chapter,
Ancient Order of the Mystic Shrine.
1t would be impossible to narrow Mr..
Brewster's place of residence down to
any finer point than California and
Nevada, for he distributes himself
around the various cities of those two
states in a way that is nothing short
Of marvellous. He has a home at Ava
Ion and since he returned from Tono-
pah. New, a few weeks ago he has
been experimenting the building of a
boat, which was launched not long ago.
He was called away from the pleasures
Of his yacht by Malcolm Macdonald
and L. A. Parkhurst of Tonopah, New
to act as host to the special train OF
Shriners to be brought from Montana
Mr.. Brewster will go to Butte to meet
the train and extend the greetings OF
California and Nevada to Algeria tern
pie and the hundred or more delegates
from that temple will place themselves
in his hands from that time until after
La Fiesta.
I'VE are planning a big entertain
ment for the boys il Nevada and ]
think we will also do things in Los
Angeles" said Mr.. Brewster.
1.-The special will go to Tonopah from
ogden and there Mr.. Parkhurst, Mr.
Macdonald and Don ellis will be tie
reception committee. All kinds OF
amusements to be fond only in a
mining town iii be tried on the visit
ors and then re will go oil. down the
line to Goldheld and into Beatty over
the new Brock road. From there VIC
will follow the lines of the Las Vegas
& Tonopah and enter Los Angeles
over the Salt Lake. A band, which
Is a gift to the temple IRON Mr.. Mac
Donald and Mr.. ellis. will accompany
the train from the time they leave
until they return TO Montana. There
will be reception given by the temple
the night of May --ld other festivities
which need not be mentioned until
they arrive. Headqua. ters will be
made at the Alexandra, and I am here
now making arrangements for accom-
modations."

pany yesterday in the superior court.
Mrs. Long is one of California's best
known women. She has been one Of the
foremost in spreading the beauties of
the state in poetry and song, and her
book of patriotic poems written shortly
after the Spanish-American war is con-
sidered a classic.
1t was just prior to that war that
Mrs. Lucy Long began collecting the
autographs of famous people. Among
her prizes she had several letters from
Admiral Dewey, letters from other
prominent military and naval celebri-
ties, letters from prominent literary
men and women in America and in
Europe and hosts of autographs from
musicians throughout the world.
These autographs she had carefully
preserved and recently decided to pub
lish the autographs in book form with
little stories about some of the celebrl-
ties and their photographs. She alleges
in her complaint that she presented the
manuscripts and the autograph letters
to the Baumgardt Publishing company
and contracted with them for faith
full reproduction.
She further alleges that when she
made investigation she found the af-
fairs of her booklet in very bad shape,
that some of the autographs had been
torn and mutilated and that some of
the signatures had actually been de-
stroyed and that her loss was great
one.
A further allegation to the effect that
big Swede" was handling the auto
graphy work at the printery is con-
tained in the complaint.
For the damage done to the auto
graphs which Mrs Long alleges is
irreparable and for the actual damages
to the signatures which she alleges in
gross cash is about $780, she asks dam
ages from the court, and the case prom
ises to be interesting when hearing is
given and the autographs and letters
and general manuscript is produced IN
court, together with the big Swede"
who is alleged to have been responsible
for the trouble.
