meet Branch. "

A petition for better mail ser
vice on the Mopico-Watersmeet
branch is now being circulated
among the business men of this
place and Three Lakes. 1t will
later be forwarded to F. L. Dick
erman, Supt. OF r. r. mail ser
vice at Milwaukee.
Tie freight leaves Monieo ia
the early morning and takes the
mail with it. 1t is supposed to
arrive in Eagle River about
noon but seldom gets here until
after the 2;21 p. N. passenger.
This train the freight carries
the letter mail, the important
mail that the man of business
needs. There is no certainty to
its arrival at all. Monday the
freight became BADLY wrecked on
che Hiles b.ancn and no mail
reached Eagle River until the
afternoon of the day following.
Such an Inconvenience ought
to be remedied. Sign the petition
and help the move for better
mail service.

GRACE GEORGE
AND HER PLAYS

"The Best People" was enthusi-
astically received yesterday after
noon by an unfortunately small
house. Grace George was as be-
witching as ever, and her gowns
were even prettier than those she
wore in "A Woman's Way"
The two plays are very similar in
plot and setting, dealing in each
with the pranks of the husband of
high society life. The parts Miss
George takes in each are of the
neglected wife. In "A Woman's
Way" she says more clever things,
but in "The Best People" she has
to rely more on her own histrionic
ability for her applause, as this
part gives her more chance for
acting"
The characters of the two wo-
men are widely different. In "A
Woman's Way" Miss George is a
very clever, strong wife who will
keep her husband at all hazards.
She says: eff l can not keep my
husband, l do not want him."
But as the Hon. Mrs. Boyle she
plays the same pranks as her hus-
band and admits that the danger
is in being found out"
However, both parts are clever,
and Miss George is equally artistic
in both. She has the perfect art"
in that she Is wholly unrestrained
and natural. 1t was almost a shock
to see so few at yesterdays matt
nee. 1t doesn't speak we'll for the
taste.

EVIL Of THE
penny PARLORS

Editor The Press-In view of the
somewhat recent articles as regards
the protection and care Of the youth
of our city, l wish to state hat one
of the greatest good things that can
be accomplished along that line is
to GUST the things of erring ten
dency for children in the penny
parlors and arcades of this city.
l have seldom if ever passed one
of those parlors but that l have
seen one or more small boys gazing,
all intent, into the mutoscope at the
pictures that are just spicy
enough to start the imaginations
and motives of their young lives
running in the wrong direction. If
you want to strike at the causes
that eliminate in the Juvenile court,
the school of reform or bad citizen
ship in later life, there, certainly,
is one place to begin; and I believe
that everyone will agree with me
that there is nothing whatever up
lifting in that class of amusement
for child or man. Anything that is
not of any noticeable good or edifi-
cation to us as a peaple we do not
want. Respectfully, 8. F. Hartley.

Buck" Miller and Joe Bush, ex-
officers of the Spokane police force,
have been appointed prison guards
to watch the convict camp near
Marshall, at which the state of
Washington is opening up a stone
quarry.
Miller and Bush retired from the
police force under charges. How
ever, they are good enough to guard
the men from Walla Walla prison,
who will be sent there to operate
the stone crusher outfit.
1t is said that the prison authori-
ties were about to send Alex Gregg,
the Spokane attorney doing time
for embeZzlement, as clerk of the
camp, but that on the request of
the Spokane officers, who said that
they could not deal harshly with
Gregg, he was not sent here.

Think TWO ROOM
THIEVES CAUGHT

In the arrest last night of w. H.
Wilson and John Postum by Detec-
tives McCloud and Downey, it is
believed that two of the worst room
thieves now in the city have finally
been apprehended. Both are hid
in the city Jail, under charges of
suspicion and Mable Smith, which
is a fictitious name, and Billy Bow
ers, bartender, are under bonds to
appear as witnesses against them.
1t is said that the two have been
under suspicion for a considerable
length of time, as wilson's record
as a troublesome character seems
we'll known to the police. His latest
activities, it is asserted, aroused
the suspicion of parties about the
Deans block, near Front and
Division.

SAVED FOR
TAXPAYERS
PROGRESS MADE BY COUNTY
UNDER GOOD GOVERNMENT
BY COMMISSIONERS.

That the policy of economy in
county affairs can be carried on an
progress made at the same time is
shown in the record of the present
board of county commissioners for
the first IL months Of its official
existence.
Through figures obtained in the
office Of County Auditor Butler it
is learned that the county commits
sioners have saved the taxpayers in
that period $4,000. or IL times
the total salaries paid the commits
sioners by the taxpayers.
This is a remarkable showing for
clean, economical government, and
the saving was made without Grip
ping the public service. In fact,
the people have received a great
deal more for the money laid out in
the regular channels than they did
in the day Of the free and easy sys-
tenn that has prevailed in county af-
fairs more or less for 20 years.
Progress has been made in the
