The Occur d'Alene country was a
bad one from beginning to end, but it
could not have been otherwise when
it is taken into consideration that
every pound of food and every key of
whiskey. the two pillars on which
new mining community rests. that cut
into Eagle City and Murray during
the excitement, was hauled in on sleds
drawn by able bodied men. The
freight alone on articles hauled in was
25 cents per pound. In the early days
in the excitement postoffices were I'M
known in the Occur d'Alenes. Letters
to persons at Eagle or Muir
ray would be taken from the train at
Trout Creek or Thompson Falls and
carried across the mountains on the
so cents for each letter delivered. This
money was paid by the man receiving
the letter. 1t was not an uncommon
thing for a man to receive IS letters at
one mail, the majority of which would
be from acquaintances inquiring about
the country. Paying so cents for such
etters soon grew mOnotOnOus to those
who were not fixed any too well finan-
eially, and if they have not been de-
strOyed or sent to the dead letter office
many hundreds of letters of inquiry
still remain in the possession of the
disappointed postmaster at Eagle

Sparks From

Fred Fulton, the Rochester, Mimi,
plaSterer, is on his way to New York
to confer with Tex Rickard in regard
to another crack at Jack Dempsey.
Fulton contends that he is in better
condition to meet the champion than
on that former occasion, when the
champion put him away with one
punch. Of course that may have been
an unfortunate f1uke, but Fulton's
record since then has not been such
that he may be considered in a class
with Dempsey, and when one remem-
berS the "SquaWk" that Fulton put up,
hat his first battle with Dempsey was
o on the up-and-up, one is prone
to think that his chances to meet Jack
are nil. If Fulton was q. party to any
secret understanding, then ,he is not
entitled to n consideration. and If it
was Just a weakened alibi as his
friends contend, he Is entitled to less.
