 The schedule price of drinks will be raised in Selma within the next few days, a saloon keeper announced this morning.
 The prices will be advanced accord ing to the kind of drinks the customer will want. The two drinks for a quar- ter will soon be a thing of the past and everything will be straight fitteen cents a piece or twenty drink. So- cial drinking will not be so much n vogue in the future as 1t mas been III the past, The average Selmian did not object 10 going into saloon and lay ing down a quarter for two drinks put fn the future he will not fish down Tn his pocket for the other nickel.
 several things added together are at the bottom of the saloons increasing the prices of the connections whicn they sell across their counters. one or these willsbe on account of the snorIr age of the male and hops crop in the Northwest. The large brewers of the Northwest have considerable difficulty in obtaining these very necessary products for the manufacture of their beers and can only obtain them at premium. The local wholesale de agents of the large breweri .n ceived word that the pric 't must necessarily be advl ' consumer of course will haFf tribute for the advance
