-Ouaint Notices


 Twenty-two years ago ColViIle, Wash ington, was an outpost town, from which prospectors outfitted for trips into Kootenay, British Colum bia, then comparatively unknown district, now one of the best known mining districts on the Pacific coast. Colville had drinking places, and one of them was kept by 1Jimmy7 Durkin. He helped grub stake prospectors and made ven- lures in buying mines, At one time he owned an interest in the Silver King mine five miles from Nelson. Colville cot too small for Durkin and he moved to Spokane, where he opened a liquor store. He had business capacity and was chock full of quaint, but shreWd phrases. His liquor store prospered and he opened a second, then third place. Last fall he was candidate at the primary election for governor of the state of Washington. He was de- feated, of course; but it brought bis name before the people. As saloon keeper aud the owner of liquor store he has watched the procession of GUS, toner's He has seen tippIerS and sots, young boys and old men, rich and poor, glad and gloomy-all pass in review be- fore his bar. He has learned lot about people. He has summed up some 1 of his experience in notices which he bas/ hung upon the walls of his bar rooms. When his third liquor store was opened, he picked out set of signs for it. Not only that, be bought large advertising space in the Review and Chronicle so that his customers wives might read them. Here are few of the signs he has displayed:
 Don't buy booze if your children need shoes; Jimmie don't need the money"
 %Don't lean on the bar thinking it will support you"
 eff mems consciences were the ten derest thing about them, this would be happy world"
 "The trouble with Jimmie's medi- cines: The patient is apt to take an overdose"
 "Keeping the bartenders busy don't hurt my feelings"
 "Dutkin's bottles are good when they are full-that is more than you can say about the fellow who gets full emptying them"
 ''The fellow who's wishing he had it will never catch up to the fellow that's trying to get it."
 "Buying drink for bartender is like paying conductors fare"
 IA man that is looking for trouble eau find it easier than the man that's trying to borrow money"
 "If we had looking glass that would reflect our past actions we would break it."
 "There is lots of chin music in front of the bars in my three stores: The best notes th hat get from it 1 find in my cash register."-Ex.

business. the American Federation Of La
Dor VIII, on February d. move into its
new quarters in the Ouray Building,
Eighth and G streets northwest.
In the last five years the unions of the
country have increased to such an ex-
tent that the clerical force Of the na-
tional headquarters. opposite the Pension
Building, has been almost doubled.
There are about sixteen rooms in the
cid building and the majority of these
are so small that they have become over
crowded. and the sixty clerks and officers
Of the federation are anxious to move.
In Ouray Building.
Because Of its central location, the
Ouray Building was selected.
Speaking OF the new home, one OF the
officers said last night:

that our forces were too much crowded

Fish Story That Is Offered with
"Proof" of Veracity.

Few more remarkable experiences
have ever befallen a fisherman than
those of Nathan Rosenstein of St.
Paul, who last August wene fishing in
beautiful Lake Bermidji. Bernstein
caught seven sunfish and a perch and
was about to give up and quit when
an enormous pickerel made furious
dash at his bait
Rosenstein had just placed his pipe
between his teeth and was exploring
his trousers pockets for a match. The
suddenness of the strike" startled
him and he jerked his pole with his
free hand, while involuntarily Juggling
at the other to get it free from his
pocket. All would have gone well, but
for the pocket flap, which caught his
hand and held it for a second.
Another vicious tug freed the fork
manipulation, but as it came loose a
$40 gold piece slipped out OF the
pocket and rolled toward the gun
wale Rosenstein dropped the pole
and grabbed for the coin, but it slid
overheard and with a dull "chug'
slipped gently downward through the
clear water. Fascinated by the sight,
Rosenstein could but sit and watch.
Then curious thing happened

GOT MONEY WITH INTEREST

The big pickerel, wrenching itself free
from the hook, and attracted by the
shining coin, swung under the boat.
The great jaws opened and the coin
disappeared before Rosenstein's very
eyes.
A few days ago Rosenstein was
again Oh Lake Bermidji and made a
fairly good days catch. Trolling back
toward the dock in the evening he felt
a strike, and after furious ten-pin'
ute battle landed an enormous pick.
erel. 1t looked familiar, but when he
reached the dock and began to strip
his catch, what was his surprise on
splitting the big pickerel to find the
$40 piece lost last fall.
Rosenstein poked around with the
knife and uncovered So cents in small
silver coins and pennies. 1t was inter.
est at the legal rate on the lost $40
gold piece.
Rosenstein's "pickerel bank" has al
ready become part of the classic lore
of the Lake Bermidji anglers They
proudly show the spot where the big
pickerel was cleaned in proof of the
veracity of this account.

writer has seen cases that look

Montgomery Here Iomorroh
 70 Play Big League Game
STEP UP ONE PEG FURTHER IN FOR SOUTHERN cHAMPoNsHlP-THE CAPITAL CITY BOYS
 THEIR

The basketball game which will prob ably decide Montgomery's chances for the championship of the Southern league will be played at the Athletic club to- league games and will be characterized by the same snappy playing and sensational work that has been seen in all the other league contests.
 Beyond a doubt the supporters of the Athletic club will help the local team to walk away with the score. Thomas bunch is just getting in it's best trim and pionship.
 Montgomery comes to town with her per cent at the 300 mark and is de- termned to get no lower. The lineup is slightly changed since the game here in December, and is reported to be much stronger. Susong is playing his great guard and shooting game as usual, and Meyers has developed into crack for ward Patterson, at center, while old at the game, still has the ability to get up in the air and break up passwork. Mo- riarty, the other forward, is a sure-shot under the goal.
 It does not pay to miss a single South ern league game, as these really decide the championship of the south. Birming- ham is pulling to win and both the local teams are receiving cordial support from each other.
 Erly says the score will be 50 to 15 and Erly usually knows. But there is one thing sure, the fight will be worth seeing, and seats at the club are selling
 rapidly at 50 cents. The game begins promptly at S:15 o'clock, with dancing to | follow

miles long, running from one side of the mountain to the other. Debris was blown from both entries, which gives some idea of the tremendous force of the explosion.
 It is reasonably certain that all of the bodies will never be recovered. Some of them were blown to pieces. and others incinerated, no doubt. The fans which furnish the fresh air for the workings, as in the former explosion, were not dis abled, and are forcing fresh air in the mines. Two brothers named Surratt of Speedwell, Va, who went to the mine at the time of the other explosion through curiosity, occupied positions, and both are in the mine.
