Weary of awaiting the arrival O. the White Seal with new goods after having everything in readi ness for business, Baird & Yeage1 opened the doors of the New Bud wei>er bar last Wednesday, and by the time the boats did land here things about Worden's old corner were certainly going some.

MINNEAPOLIS PREACHER
 HELPED SECURE LICENSE

Minne apolis. Rev. G. l.. Nor Till successfully pleaded for tie re- newal of the salool license of John J. McGregor of No. 4 First street north, before the council committee on licenses.
 "I don't believe in a minister of the gospel appearing before a com mittee and pleading for saloon ll' cense,' said MT, Morrill,, but I do believe in fair play. Some one is wing to do dirt here. If the devil himself came to town and wanted a hearing I'd give him chance in the name of fai. play"
 License Inspector Gray intro duced the record of McGregor, but the aldermen held that it was II year old. To this MT. Merrill de- clared: "We'd all be i'll he'll today if we were judged by our records of the past" This won the license.

The ledge, which is about foot in thickness, has been uncovered for about 50 feet, and courses in a west-southeast- erly direction. A quartz location has been filed over the placer claim.

The meeting of the town dads last Wednesday evening was brief and business-like, and when the clerk bad recorded the proceedings of the august body 1t was found that the services of tue entire po- lice force had been dispensed with, as we'll as those of the city clerk It was not on the grounds of neg lect of duty on tue part of those worthy officials that caused the de- capitation. Nay, nay, Pauline-it was the continuation of we'll thought out policy of rigid econ omy in municipal affairs on the part of the council to reduce run ming expenses i'll the good old sum mertime down to a Scandinavian whisper. The Pioneer believes the councilmen have succeeded in that regard, and the towns disburse ments will not exceed the receipts during the present fiscal year.
 Councilman Holmes has agreed to keep the city's books for noth- jug per month, while the retiring clerk, B. A. Meyers, volunteered to record the minutes of future council meetings for the same amount.
 John Strelic has made very eff cient police officer, and the mem bers of the council were not back back ill extending praise for official services we'll done.

GOOD SUGGESTION
 BY AN OPERATOR

While talking to representative of the Pioneer a few days ago about the progress of the road work, a we'll. known employer of labor sug- gested it would be good scheme to get the laborers who are as yet not steadily employed to each contribute a days work on the roads.
