Blue Laws Of 1890

Sunday Movies Win

BRATTLEBORO, VT, Jan. g.
Nobody in this district wants to car
ry a blunderbus to church to guard
against Indians-so citizens were as
Sured Sunday movies.
Here's the way those seemingly
unrelated circumstances hitch up:
Several residents demanded that
theatres be closed on the Sabbath
because of a state law enacted in
1890
The same year another law was
adopted providing that the natives
must tote blunderbusses to church.
States Attorney Ernest F. Berry
said:
IF one law is observed so will
The other be observed"
The demand for movieless Sun
day subsidized and the cases against
movie operators were dropped.

The storm of few weeks ago that
kept the Yukon harbor-bound in
Juneau, did not treat Capt. Wester-
holm and the Latouche SO severely,
but while discharging cargo at Val

sary to keep the engines running at
slow ahead to prevent the parting
of mooring lines.
This last trip across the Gulf is
the longest trip Capt. Westerholm
has ever experienced in such heavy
weather-and he came TO Alaska
first in 1898

can prevent many an accident that
would otherwise result from his
heedlessness. Pedestrians are par
ticuIarly apt to blunder into your
path, often because of advanced
age, infirmity, or the inexperience
of childhood. Be alert and consid-
crate, remembering that you your
self are a pedestrian much of the
time Always drive slowly when
you see children playing near the
roadway.
If all drivers scrupulously OBJ
served these common and general

those only to provide for unusual

PLENTY OF ICE AT
LAKE COMO

That which had passed from an
expectancy to only hope in the
way Of housing ice. became an as
surance by the cold weather which
set in last week. George M. Stew
enson, c. c. Boehmler, and Jacob
Leinberger commenced housing,
lest the opportunity might slip,
with three inch ice on Saturday.
The cold intensified on that night,
making an inch to it by Monday
morning, and over five inches yes
terday, beautiful and clear. The
last three have been busy days, the
unusually fine weather for such a
purpose enabling all the public and
private houses to get a full supply,
especially if it continues a day or
two longer. Those who have taken
the trouble to calculate say that
1000 tons of ice were housed here
last winter. Of course it became
a matter of concern when this win
ter had half passed away without
pound of ice being gathered. To
have got this same amount of ice
from the north would have cost
$4,000. Happily. the cold snap
which set in a week and more ago
has averted this, enabled the ice to
be gathered at home, and the
money necessary for the harvest
scattered among our own people.
