TWO STORES BURCLARIZED.
Golden Rule and Oliver Il Mckown
Robbed Saturday Night.

Burglars broke into the Golden Rule
store and the Oliver q McKown hard
ware, sometime between eleven o'clock
morning and stole merchandise am
ounting TO three or four hundred dol
lars. The Golden Rule was entered
through the transom over the back
door and admittance was gained to the
hardware store by breaking the glass
in the door at the side entrance to the
building. The burglars have not been
discovered.
Louise O'Keefe manager of the Col
den Rule store closed her doors about
eleven o'clock Saturday night. When
she opened the door TO the building
SUNDAY morning the contents of the
show cases lay strewn about the floor
ments, hats, general furnishings, all
were thrown about the counters and
isles and had been tramped on. Even
the dry goods shelves had been cleaned
OF their contents In an effort to find
money or valuables that might nave
been hiden among them. Miss 0'Keefe

the robbery was discovered and took
the morning train to Pocatello to place
detectives on the trail OF the thieves

Looking Backward.

The following is editorial printed in the Press
on May 2, 1908 just before the bond election held
to vote bonds for the present school building 1t was
planned to build six room building and only $4,000
asked for. 1t was later decided to have an eight
room building and the money above $4,000 was
raised by direct taxes. The building with the base
ment not finished cost little than $4,000 The
Press thought more level location should have been
selected, and the expenditure of about $4,000 in build
ing walls and filling has vindicated its position-but
after the selection of site made it appealed to
the people to support the bonds. The schools
need enlargement as badly as they did then and the
Press again appeals to the people, for the sake of the
children to support the present bond issue. The
suit at that election 129 for bonds and 26 against
bonds.

Seattle Prepares For
Last Legal Drinking

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 2s.-With the
last legal drinking" in Washington
looming less than 70 hours away, Sc.
attic cafe managers today are prepar.
ing for the biggest night in their his.
tory.
Prosecutor Lundin s office has be.
come a veritable mecca for inquisitive
seekers after loopnoles in the new
"dry" law.
Every cafe table in the city has been
engaged ahead and stock of liquor
ordered reserved. Special cabaret en-
tertainments will add to the night IS
festivities in many cafes.
Manager Mitchell, of the Butler no
tel, said Tuesday that he could reserve
every table in half dozen cafes as
large as that of the Butler. The But
Ter will begin on New Years Day, holl-
ing dinner danzants every evening
from q O'Clock until / a. m.
One Of the most. serious problems
arising in the prosecutors s office is
tnat presented by manufacturers of
flavoring extracts and hair tonics. The
law forbids them to import alcohol.
They complain that to purchase it
through druggists, who are allowed to
ship in unlimited quantities, will great
ly increase the cost of making their
product. This phase of the law is to be
taken up directly with the attorney
general and Governor Lister.
