FREE LUNCH IS
THING OF PAST
STEAMING "WIENIE' WITH COOr,
GLASS OF BEER HAS GONE
WITH THE BUFFALO,.
Man With the Soiled Shirt and Fray-
ed Sleeves Can No Longer Pick Up
Snack to Stay His Hunger Beside
the Mahogony Where Flows the
Foaming Budweiser.

one OF the institutions connected
with the saloon business in the state
mat has departed within the past
lew weeks, never to return. is the
Tree lunch. The high price of food
of all kinds, coupled with the in
creased cost of beer, whisky and 9TH
er beverages, has made it impossible
lor any saloon to furnish "hot dog"
cneese sandwich or other little side
dlshes that were doled out as encour-
agement
There was a time, and it is not
long ago, when the MONDAY lunch of
many consisted of free fare on the
par, and many man who was down
and out, either temporarily or per-
manently, has lived for days on the
sustenance that he could obtain in
this manner. The out-of-luck speci-
men with the soiled shirt and frayed
sleeves could usually manage to sep
arate someone from nickel, and
with that he could purchase
schooner of beer that carried with it
all the food he needed from the free
lunch counter. Bartenders we're in
cllned to be generous, and the down.
and-outer could transfer his patron
age from one place to another fire.
quently enough so that he wouldn't
appear to become a fixture at any one
lunch counter.
But the "wienies' have made their
last appearance. No longer will they
steam beside the beer glass or bark
their joyful welcome to the man re-
turning home late and anxious for
"snack" before turning in.
Once upon time beef sandwiches
were thing of joy to thousands in
the state on Saturday night when
a considerable number of drinks had
whetted the appetite. But the beef
went and the "wienie" of mystery
came, together with cheese of all
sorts and odors
This recalls that it isn't SO long
ago that entertainment afforded by
the average saloon in the state in
cluded all kinds of gambling games,
while dancing and music were found
at many. These went before the free
lunch; then the bars closed at mid
night. Soon they will close altogeth-
er, and the day is fast approaching
when the last trace of the free and
easy life of the old west will have
passed into the shadows.

where the Northern Pacific crosses
the divide, is 5,547 feet above sea
level The highest point on the
Great Northern is 5,2O2 feet, and
Donald, the greatest altitude reached
by the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.

The Great Northern tracks extend
for Ats miles in Montana before
crossing the Continental divide, in
that distance climbing from 1922
feet 5,202 feet in elevation. The
Northern Pacific, from the eastern
Montana boundary line to Mullan' S
pass, traverses SIG miles, and the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul 504
miles in the state before reaching it's
high point.
These figures show the fortunate
place that Montana occupies among
her sister states of the Rocky noun
tain region.

be one of the largest towns in the val

times, and that these lots will bring
q very high price, later on. You see
we are to have two branch railway

MINERS WIN FIGHT
FOR INCREASED PAY

Washington. Oct. s. = Bituminous
coal miners of the central competitive
field won their fight for q general
wage increase yesterday when a joint
conference here reached Il complu.
mise agreement on new contract
Tho agreement presagcs a wage raise
throughout the industry. since the
central field scale serves as Il basis
for all other districts.
Operators representatives agreed to
the now wages on condition that they
be absorbed in higher coal prices
The fuel administration will be asked
for a revision upward of present coal
prices to meet the raise. The wage
increase, according to operators esti-
mates, will add from SIS to SO cents
a ton 70 the cost of producing coal in
thick vein mines and considerably
more In mines containing the thinner
veins.
The new contract will contain pro-
visions to prevent strikes and lock-
outs, and will be SO drawn as to make
it impossible for either operators or
miners to break it on the grounds of
changed conditions. II will run for
the duration of the wir, provided the
war does not continue more than two
years.
