in December Breaks
Record of Past Four Years

The December, 1918, report shows
that the most excessive snowfall on any
one day during the month occurred on
the 20, total Of six inches. The man.
tie of flakes was registered on five
successive days, 21st to 25th, when a
total Of IL inches filtered down from
the clouds, providing week of the best
sleighing and coasting the country and
city has known for years.
The maximum temperature during
December of the year just deceased
was 4S, and singularly, the figures were
the same in 1912 and 1911. The. mini
mum last month was .O5, on the Goth.
There were 16 clear days last month,
strong contrast to the inclement
weather all along the coast where ex-
cesive rains have been the order during
the past three or four weeks.
On the whole, with only six cloudy
days, December was very seasonable

CITY TO Be DRY
TWO DAYS THIS
Week IS ED|CT
ANOMALY IN TIME OF LIQUOR
LICENSES VALIDITY MEANS
BRIEF DRY SPELL.
COUNTY FATHERS HOLD WHIP
New City Licenses Bear Date of Janu-
ary 12-County Licenses Expected
to Conform-Explain Irregularity.

Grangeville will be dry two days
and half this week. Every thirst EN-.
porium in the city will close at mid.
night Friday, the 9th of January. They
will not reopen until noon the follow.
ing Monday, or January IL.
This temporary dry reign is brought
about for the following reasons: The
present saloons in the city, four in
number, have licenses which expire at
midnight on January 9, 1914. That
applies to both county and city licenses.
Therefore the drink dipensing stores
must remain closed until the next re-
gular meeting of the board Of county
commissioners, which is scheduled for
Monday, January 12. Anticipating that
the county commissioners would take up
the matter of granting saloon licenses
soon after convening next Monday the
city dads at last Monday night IS meet
ing voted to issue liquor licenses to all
of the four saloons in the city at pre-
sent but went ON record as favoring a
a plan which would date the new licens-
es ON Monday, January 12, 1914 at l2
o O'Clock, noon. The new city licenses
read that way. Precedent prompts the
belief that the county fathers will drop
in line and date the new county licenses
at the same date and hour and if so
the bars may open at noon, Monday,
as planned.
By following this plan the saloons
will have both city and county licenses
bearing identical dates and valid
through the same period. It is said that
on one or two occasions in the past the
city licenses were granted upon the ex-
pration of the old ones and the bars
were conducted for day or SO upon
the authority of a city license regardless
of the technical irregularity. 1t was
the opinion Of the city fathers at Mon
day night meeting, however, that it
would be well to adopt, once and for
all, a definite and regular procedure
and to insist upon strict enforcement
of the law.
Sheriff Eimers said today that the
saloons of the city would not be per-
mitted to open for business without
proper license, which means that the
town will be dry as the proverbial bone
from Friday until noon Monday. The
period of suspense and thirst may be
even greater than that should the
county commissioners tarry a while and
fail to grant county licenses by lunch
time next Monday.
The proprietors of the bars in the
city have signified willingness, it is
said, to observe the ruling and cooper
ate with the county and city authori-
ties in the effort to straighten out the
tangle.
A number Of other matters of rou-
tine nature were taken up and disposed
of at Monday. evenings meeting of the
municipal fathers.

XMAS CELEBRATION AT WARREN
Delightful Yuletide Time in Famous Old
Mining Camp.

The old camp celebrated in the usual
style. On the eve of Christmas, ex-
ercises were held at the Lockwood hall
which consisted of tree for the chill
dren of the camp and dance following.
The hall was tastefully decorated and
merry time ensued till midnight when
luncheon was served by the ladies' of
Warren. The morning of the holy day
broke warm and bright. While there
was only five inches of snow here it is
frozen hard and the days fun began
with sleigh riding.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Roden gave a ban
quet at the Roden Hotel, in which they
were assisted by Mr.. and Mrs. Richard
Beall. The worlds most austere cpl
cure could not have demanded more
delightful feast. 1t is useless to at
tempt description of all details.
There were even good old sweet pota-
toes, the best favored in the world,
which Mr.. Beal had shipped in for the
occasion. No time or expense were
spared to make the affair success.
Mrs. Roden had provided graceful de-
corations for the event. The tables
were left standing for the accommoda-
tion of all who took delight in partak-
ing Of the hospitality of the hostelry.
In the evening the dinning room was
cleared and music, singing, dancing and
recitations were INDUCED in tilla late
hour. Mr.. Beall brought in his new
victrola and entertained the guests with
a very fine selection of records.
Messrs. Don Matthias and Taylor
Smith furnished music for the dance.
At last Mr.. Roden served sweet cider
which was brought from Council for the
purpose and the company then dispers-
ed for their homes, enthusiastic in words
of praise for the most enjoyable time
they had experienced.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roden deserve the sen.
timents of commentator and approba-
tion which were extended by the par
ticapants.

NEW YEARS BALL A SUCCESS.

The ball given by the Rebekahs on
New Year g eve was easily one of the
most successful affairs of the social
season. q A number Of beautiful and
clever costumes were in evidence and
the dancers universally enjoyed the
event, as did also the many spectators
who were present. Miss Warner won
the first prize offered for the best ladies
costume and Mrs. Parrish was awarded
second prize. Hub Woow drew first
in the sterner sex and Joseph Pfeufer
was second. The music provided for
the affair by the Grangevilles orchestra
was up to the high standard always
maintained by that excellent organiza-
tion.

FORESTRY OFFICIAL
APPROVES SOUTH
FORK ROAD
DISTRICT 0Eo0RAPHER BONNER
SAYS PROPOSED HIGHWAY HAS
BEEN WELL PLANNED.

F. E. Bonner, district geographer with
the United States forestry service with
headquarters at Missoula, has been in
the city this week conferring with local
citizens regarding the work on the new
South Fork road and conducting an
inspection of the grade Of the proposed
highway.
"The road as proposed has my O.
H." said Mr.. Bonner to the Free Press
today. "When we received the maps
and surveys at the Missoula offices
there were some features that we did
not approve wholly, but l find
after investigation, that the route has
been well surveyed and that under the
conditions no better grade or route
could have been chosen. Everything is
now in shape to proceed with actual
working operations as soon as the de-
partment approves the project.
VIII Wire Approval.
,"I will leave for Missoula tomorrow
and upon my arrival there will 60 over
the matter thoroughly with the proper
officials. In case the project is approx
ed, which think is practically certain,
wire will be sent to Supervisor Ring
to proceed at once with the work. While
I have no figures at hand upon which to
base an accurate estimate it is my guess
that the road will cost considerably
more than has been raised and assured
by the citizens, the county and the
forestry department, but it is barely
possible that as the project nears CON-
pletion additional appropriations may
be made by the frestry service. This,
of course, is not positive assurance.
"The grade has an average of about
per cent. For about two and half
miles a 9 per cent grade is maintained,
but the balance of the survey is over a
grade running from to about s per
cent. There is considerable rock work
on the road.''

favor of Tyrol. The railway between
Feldkirch and Innsbruck is most beau.

the snow was four or five feet deep.
