Only a few of the business men of
Douglas were present at the flre de
partment meeting last Saturday night, j
Some people never have any use for
the fire boys until their house gets on
fire, just .like some folks never have
tony use for God and religion until
they come die. It is expected that the
next meeting, on November 25th, will
be held in the new A. L. U. hall, when
a big time is plauned. Don't make
any other engagement for that night.
With the coming of winter, it may
be expected that the fire department
will have more work to do. Douglas
people can help the department by re
mem beriug that it is easier to prevent
a fire than put it out. Some of the
citie ? of the States have established a
bureau of fite prevention, with power
to enforce regulations. Most of our
citizens have complied with the chim
ney ordinance, ail others should ? be
sides taking all other possible precau
tions to prevent fires, aud not wait
until the marshal comes around.
Some busy body has evidently in
formed the Indians of Douglas that
they are raised from their former low
state to the level of the white man, in
which exalted position they are eutitled
to buy all the whiskey they want and
get as drunk as they please. Burden
ed with this delusion some of them
broke loose about a week ago and be
gau making the rounds of the saloons,
where, when refused the .drinks they
expected to buy, they would fly iuto a
violent passion aud tell the barkeep
that he was auythiug but a gentleman
and a scholar, lu some cases bands of
four or five Indians have been accom
panied by a white man, who, after lin
ing them all up at the bar would call
for driuk-i for the crowd, claiming they
were all his friends. When refused
and told to hit the high places, he also
would begin to harangue the saloon
niau iu language choice, but unexpur
gated. Of course, everybody knows
that this thing cannot; continue, or, if
it doe^, there will be trouble. Friends
of the Indian people should explaiu to
them that the law has not been chang
ed, and they are not entitled to booze
any more than they ever were.

YOUR interests are ours, in this
business; there wouldn't be
much sense in selling clothes that
were not good for you; we couldn't
keep it it up very long. Our idea is
to sell you clothes that are best for

quality in clothes.
