Says Anti Saloon League
Cannot Make Gary a Dry
City Any More.

William Mannix, one of the ATTORNEYS
for the Berghoff Brewing company of
Fort Wayne, who was sent to Gary to
investigate the rumor that remonstra-
tors are again working to make Gary
dry for the next two years, returned
last night to Fort Wayne, satisfied that
this city was safe
Mr.. Mannix expressed the opinion
that no remonstrance was being circu-
lated in Gary or that the matter was
even being agitated. He asserted, how
ever, that he has absolute knowledge
that Rev. Deuel. has been in conference
with Rev. Hicks, the well-known anti
saloon leader of South Bend, the early
part of this week. Whether or not this
was for the purpose of deciding the
question of waging another remon-
STRANGE fight is not known but it was
undoubtedly in reference to the local
situation.
Could Find No Trace.
Attorney Manix. although he could
find no trace of a remonstrance being
circulated in the city. has taken every
precaution against the town being made
dry for another two years. 1t would
not require the signature of half of the
present number Of voters In Gary for
the population has again wonderfully
increased since the time that votes
were cast for the present secretary OF
state.
Mr.. Mannix took the precaution to
have circulated in Gary what was really
acounter petition against a remon-
STRANGE in the form of withdrawal
cards. These were placed in the prin-
cipal business houses in the city and all
of the patrons of these places were
asked to sign them. In thfs.nhanner it
is said that over half of the voters have
declared themselves against contin-
ued dry spell in Gary as well as pro-
tecting themselves in case it is found
that they have signed the document

IDAHO MINES
PRODUCTION

Idaho's mineral production for
the year 1909 amounted to $15,.
$50, 900, and in spite of the de-
pressed conditions of mining in
dustry throughout the United
States during the early part Of
the year, was slightly in excess
of that of 1908, according to the
annual report by State Mine In
spector F. Gushing Moore.
The inspectors figures are
based on actual production re-
ported and do not include many
of the smaller properties, especi-
ally placers. which fact has a
tendency to make the showing
less than it would be if the min
ers operating on a small scale
would properly report their
actual productions.
For the year mineral produc-
tion. according TO the figures Of
Inspector Moore's report, has in
creased less than $3.50, 600, which,
in view Of the fact that two Of
the big properties in the Occur
d'Alenes were closed down dur
ing the early part Of the year,
and that the Hercules mill was
burned down in September, 50
that the mine was worked only
for high-grade sorted in the mine
from that time until the close OF
the year, is considered to be 9
very good showing.

The bowling contest between
the ladies and the men, which
was scheduled to be pulled off
Monday evening proved a strenu-
Gus affair, and resulted in a real
bowling carnival which required
a return play by the performers.
Both contests were won by the
ladies. The feature Of the Mon
day evening contest was the high
score run by Mrs. Schnell in the
second game, 165, which was the
highest score of the evening.
The totals were as follows:

Ladies $50 589 1893

The result Of the contest was
surprising to some Of the men,
and a return engagement was
called for. A number Of wagers
were made. The ladies accepted
the challenge as an opportunity
to set all doubts Of superiority
aside, and the final score is
enough to compel a wholesome
respect for the sufragette move

GROWTH OF NEW TOWNS
ON RAILROADS MARVELLOUS

Sanborn Enterprise: The writer of
this item was familiar with mushroom
growth Of new towns in the early de-
velopment of the Pennsylvania oil
fields following a big strike" when
a city would grow up almost in a sin
gle night. This surprising growth has
its counterpart, to some extent, in the
Dakotas, following the extension Of
railroad or the opening of an Indian
reservation to settlement. Anent this
subject Tom McKeen, VINO recertly filed
on a claim in the southern part Of
Standing Rock near Timber Lake,
writes: THE city of Timber Lake has
not yet q postoffice, and letters have
to be taken in like express or other
packages, from Mobridge, just east Of
the reservation, across the Missouri
river. He says that the town without
a postoffice has bank, two grocery
stores, two hardware stores, two news
papers, two eating and lodging houses,
one livery stable and feed barn, one
lumber yard, one meat market, one
pool hail. one photograph gallery, and
a lot Of dwelling tents-occupied by
squatters; and all this before the town.
site has been surveyed.
