THURSDAY , APRIL IS , 1907.
, „ „ Last Monday a man from Ivush-
villc or who bad been in Ilughville
the.past week " informed us that a
'
large A number of Indians were in
the town to witness the departure
of.about 30 Indians who start out
wifcji * a wild west show. 'There
was considerable drunkenness
! i though there are no saloons pay-
it g license in Ilushville. This ?
rr an told us that there were five
d fferent joints where one could
O3tain the where-with-all for
- - a jag
aid that it wasn't hard for a
{ ; ranger who casually dropped in
to town to find a joint , a blind piir ,
*
a blind tiger , a hole in the wall
or dew drop as" the different terms
imply , a drinking resort. Add to
this a few Jboot-leggers , two or
f- *
tjiree drug "store saloons and a
club house and draw upon your
imagination for a town without
saloons. Of course good people
arc not "put next" to these con
ditions until a son or son-in-law
A *
comes home with a jag and then
they wonUer where he got it. If
saloons are run right they are
preferable to such conditions as
the "above , if the good people
want the screens taken down from
the windows they want saloons in
preference to the blind pig , the
drug store dram shop , the cltil >
house and the boot-leggers , all of
j >
If which are a secret snare for the
unsophisticated. Let it- * run as a
saloon and be known as such if
you are in favor of taking down
the blinds. But i saloons are not
conducted according to law they
will bring the wrath and condem
nation of the. people upon them
and wilj fall because of their evil
influences. They should not try
to run the town. They have
enough weight to carry without
loading up with objectionable responsibilities

It is attracting a large \amount o
attention among all classes ot people
ple , traversing as it does a section
of country that has hitherto
been neglected by the railroads , anr
that is comparatively unknown. It
will surprise many to know that
the country through which this
new line passes is really a rich ag
ricultural country , and the know
ledge of this fact is already gather
ing along the line of this , railroad n
large population of farmers. The
line is now completed and in opera

such cases , the railway Las estab

The title to the town lots has
been taken in the name of the
Western Town Lot Co. , which com
pany will offer for sale within the
next few days lots in eacli of the
towns of Box Elder , Underwood
and Wasta. . Each of these towns
is located in a good agricultural
district , and it is expected that each
will be the center of distribution
and supply for a large section of
valuable farming and grazing coun
try. These lots will be put on the
market by the Town Site Co. , at the
usual low prices to start with , and
lots in any of the three towns will
undoubtedly prove good investments
but particularly valuable for loca
