MAST LAS VEGAS. y. A..
July They're fitting the
prices up highn cats back
here in the meadow cities.
The boomtime schedule arrived
with a rush yesterday amid the
general festooning and draping of
the town in the national colors.
Twas dull day in a fighting
sense, for Jimmy Flynn was busy
only with entertaining a party OF
friends at dinner and Johnson
didn't do much in the entertaining
way, but the natives and those who
are merely standing around wait
ing for the day of the big clash
to roll around had something to
gossip about every time they saun-
tered into a gargling parlor.
over every cash register in town
appears this legend:

plenty of rooms left. But in the

them out excepting on basis of

them, most of them indeed being
here but for the day only, pulling

The tilt in the price Of beer is
said to be one of the results of the
war Mayor Taupert is making on
the gamblers of the city, most of
whom have saloon interests. A
short time ago the mayor. a mighty
clever young man, made promise
to Governor Mcdonald that he
would see that there was no gam
bling here during the festival Pc
Rod and he has since reiterated
that he meant every word of it, a
few DAYS ago word went out to
cease all card playing and the hint
was taken, all games closing, Nat
urally the local people who have
contributed literally to the fund to
bring the big battle here are near
sighted when 1t comes to a policy
of that sort But the mayor is
adamant and declines to relent.
Saloons War on Mayor
The saloon element has had sew
eral meetings and this method of
retaliation was adopted. It's said.
