THE CHARM OF WALLACE
THE CONVENTION CITY
IDEAL PLACE FOR GATHERING
OF REPUBLlcANS-FAMED
MINING CENTER.

The actual money left in Wallace by
the hundreds of delegates and visitors
who will attend the republican con-
vention in this city on August % is
but a small part Of the benefit this city
and district will receive through Sc
curing this big gathering of represen-
tative citizens from all parts Of the
state Already the papers are talking
about Wallace, the beauty of its loca
ton, its progressive citizens, its mod
ern hotels, its large mercantile estab-
lishments, and the great mines sur
rounding it, Here is an example of the
publicity Wallace is receiving. taken
from the Boise Capital News in the
form of statement by Bartlett Sin
clair well known in the Coem
d'Alenes:
Picturesque Mining Center.
Residents legally accredited to the
city Of Wallace may be less than 5000
That however, affords but a poor con-
ception of the size of the county seat
Of Shoshone county. BY day and by
night hundreds more from the mining
towns adjacent spend the better por-
ton OF their time as well as their sub
stance in this-one of the opulent, pic
turesque, orderly mining centers OF the
northwest
Nestled at the foot Of a cluster of
timbered mountains in the very heart
Of the Occur d'Alenes its very beauty
is not less pronounced than its wealth
Because of this transient accession
the hotels, the stores. and people gem
orally know how to. take care Of the
crowd and dispense hospitality It is
their habit.
THE republican committee made no
mistake in its choice as the seat of the
forthcoming convention. These enter
prising people of Wallace and Occur
d'Alene generally will do the thing up

on to take a hand during the conven-
ton in the pastimes, sports and enter
tainment These two cities make
great team
There are no mines within Wallace
The mines are to Ice found farther up
the gulches all of which center at Wal |
lace. Commercial and residential Wal |
lace is more like the metropolis of !
rich agricultural district than a min !
ing town. Some of the homes are al |
most palatial The hotels. of which |
there are several, are modern and quite |
spruce. The service and style are re-
fined
Boise has nothing on Wallace i'm

miles of them in that mountain town
Railroad service from east and west

'ention. l recall two restaurants Of
Wallace that alone would popularize
town. Fine stores are the rule.
