Railroad Passes His Door.

In the fall of 1887 the narrow qua e
railroad was extended from Wardner
Junction to Wallace, passing in froat
of Bill Osburn's house, but even this
advanced mode Of travel did not de-
stroy the popularity of the place.
There was still much overland travel
and the travel between the South Side
and Murray continued heavy. Not un-
til 1883, when the Nine Mile wagon
road was extended to Beaver Station
where 1t joined the Murray road, did
Osburn feel the effects of the change

caught the travel between what was
called the Upper South Fork and Mu"-

changed to, run between Murray and

OREGON PAPER RECON-.
MENDS AL ALBANIA MINISTRIES

Concerning the Alabama Minstrels,
which will appear here next Sunday,
the Morning Register, published at
Eugene, Oregon, in recent issue, has
the following to say:
Patrons of midnigh ight-complexioned
entertainment ambled down to the de-
pot grounds last night in large num-
bers, where they were regaled under
canvas by the Alabama Minstrels with
an ebon- hued bombardment of real,
old-fashioned plantation minstrelsy.
Previously the band, which was an ex-
eellent one by the way, had whetted
,up the appetite of amusement seek
ers with two dashing parades. As a
consequence the white top was crowd
ed and the show featured both male
and female entertainers in the depart
ments of circle and olio. There were
many new song hits chortled as only
the real sable-hued minstrel can shout
'em and the end gags, jokes and
conundrums were new and nubby.
Especial and distinctive hits of the
show were the ballad, "Silver Threads
Among the Gold,' with quartette
chorus, the slack wire performance by
young Seipio and the monologues by
Mr.. McGee.

RICH STRIKE ON The

One of the best showings ever made
in Nevada was struck by j. j. eWH-
Hams, the first of the week, on the La
Plata claim at Sunshine. While going
over the property, Mr.. Williams dis
covered piece of rich float, and af-
ter hunting for a day or two found
it's probable source in outcroppings.
The first strike of the pick dislodged
ore that will evidently run better than
hundred dollars to the ton. in gold
and silver, and an hours work dis
closed perfectly defined walls, with
better than a foot of ore.
Last night Mr.. Williams had reach
ed depth of about nine feet, and the
vein had increased in width to eigh-
teen inches, with probable values of at
least $3.50, in gold and silver.

The hov scouts of Oklahoma City,

There have been many changes
since then, most of the old landmarks
having entirely disappeared, and the
scout explorers must be guided princi-
pally by tradition. The site of the
Irving tent in Fort Gibson will be the
starting point There is no person
now living who was here at the time
Irving established his camp.
The father of Sam Houston Benge, a
Frenchman, and companion OF Tonlsh,
so eonspicuously mentioned IN the
book. told his son as to the location OF
the tent. Mr.. Benge, who died rev
years ago, pointed out the spot to D.

Fort Gibson New Era, and the latter
erected on the spot monument OF

lowing inscription:

SALOON men MUST
PAY CIGAR LICENSE

steps are being taken by the state
TAX commission to enforce the law re-
iating to the selling of cigars and
cigarettes by saloons. In 1911 ID. A..
Pete, district attorney of Eureka
county, wrote to the late Attorney
General Baker for an opinion on the
Law regulating such sales. and receiv-
ed the following:
In all cases where the sale of mer
ehandise is carried on and where wines
or distilled liquors are sold in con
neetIon Herewith. and carried as part
and parcel of the stock of merchan-
disc, the owner is required to procure
license to carry, sell and deal in
merchandise, and separate license
for the sale of wines or distilled
liquors
A person who engages in the bust
ness of selling liquors, tobacco or ciga
rettes, or either one of those articles.
in this state is, under the law. re-
quired to procure license authorizing
such person to carry on the business.
and, in event such person desires to
sell wines or distilled liquors in con
neetion with, and as a part of, the
business in which he is then engaged,
the law requires that he shall, before
offering the wines or distilled liquor
for sale, procure a license authoriz-
ing him to engage in the business of
selling wines or distilled liquors.
Liable for Taxation.
"This being so, and nothing to the
contrary appearing in, or being pro-
vided for by, the statute, 7 see no good
or sufficient reason why a per-
son engaged in the business of selling
at retail wines or distilled liquors,
who desires to engage in the business
of selling cigars, tobacco or eiga 'ettes
in connection with said business
should not, under the law, before of
fering these articles, or either of
them, for sale, be required to procure
the license for such business pr ,vided
by the statute.
"For the foregoing reasons, it is
my opinion that persons who keep and
sell cigars, cigarettes or tobacco, or
either Of these articles, in connection
with the retail liquor business, a.e
subject to payment of a merchandise
license therefor
The license for selling cigars, eiga-
rettes and tobacco is $500 a quarter.

LITTLE BOOTY TAKEN BY
GERLACH POSTOFFICE ROBBER

Postofiice Inspector Means has ,e-
turned from Gerlach, says the Reno
Gazette, where he went this week to
make an investigation of the post
Office robbery at that place. No trace
of the man suspected of the crime has
been found, although descriptions
have been sent to all officers at all
stations along the lines of the West
ern and Southern Pacific railroads.
1t develops that the Mexican accus-
ed of the crime was arrested shortly
after it was committed and placed in
Jail, but the officers failed to lock the
door. As result the prisoner made
his escape during the night.
But little was taken from the post
office, a few pennies and some postage
stamps covering the loss. From the
store in which the postoffice is located
several articles were taken.
